besides.

As the sole shareholder of Mason United Group, Han Chudong also faces the dilemma of his personal strength not matching the scale of his wealth.

The so-called dilemma not only includes the narrow circle of personal connections, but also includes factors such as insufficient control over the company's middle and low-level managers and insufficient personal abilities.

In short, he has not yet fully learned how to use his own strength to defend a large territory in this society where the strong prey on the weak. Therefore, Han Chudong decided to slow down and avoid being as impatient as he was at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, and began to learn how to lead others to share the benefits.

He first sold facial mask paper to the outside world, and later established the Mason Private Equity Fund. On the second day after he arrived in Japan, he personally met with the managing director of Panasonic Group and finalized a financing agreement worth tens of millions of US dollars.

Panasonic Group raised 10 million US dollars in financing and acquired 13% of the total shares of Baofeng Electric Appliances. It also reached the same agreement with Whirlpool and Siemens.

This means that Han Chudong sold Baofeng Electric, which was originally worth about 50 million US dollars, at an extremely high price. He still holds 61% of the shares in Baofeng Electric, but received a full 30 million US dollars in financing.

It was also a gamble, because Han Chudong promised that the annual performance growth rate would not be lower than 20% in the next five years. To be honest, this number seemed too easy to him. In order to make these companies willingly accept his high price, he made an agreement that if the goal was not achieved, he would compensate them with additional shares, and promised to facilitate the listing of Baofeng Electric on the stock market within three years.

In Han Chudong's mind, it is the tail that a gecko can cut off, and the same goes for Mango Toy Company.

He divided the core businesses of Mason United Group into three areas: luxury goods and beauty, IC and IT, and financial investment. Han Chudong has never told anyone about his ideas, but he is indeed implementing them in this direction.

Although there are only three major areas, they cover many sub-sectors.

Sometimes even Han Chudong himself felt that this speed of making money was terrifying. If everything went smoothly all the time, even he himself didn't know how high his net worth would reach by the 21st century.

Walmart's total market value is only over 1 billion US dollars, Intel's total market value is only over 90 million US dollars, KFC is valued at over 50 million US dollars... There are many gold mines like this. Even if it is unclear whether they can grow smoothly in this life, with the capital Han Chudong has accumulated so far, he can already cast a wide net.

Not to mention the IT industry which has just taken shape. Han Chudong knows better than anyone how terrifying its value will be in the future.

Thinking in this way, you can probably understand why even though Rainbow Beauty Company's performance has declined, Han Chudong can still happily go to Japan to eat, drink and have fun everywhere.

We went to Mount Fuji where there is no snow, and also went to Kamenashi Nigo for a meal and fun. We did inspect the toy production factory and the Rainbow Mask Ginza flagship store, but it was not a very serious visit. It was more like finding a place to vacation and rest in this hot summer to escape the busy pace of life.

Taking a break from my daily life, I felt completely relaxed.

After visiting Kamenashi Nigo in Sapporo, I had originally planned to just soak in a hot spring in a place called Nagano Prefecture for a few days. Unexpectedly, I fell in love with the local scenery and stayed there for more than ten days. I booked a classic-style hot spring inn. I could see the lake and the mountains when I opened the window, and I could even take a fishing rod to fish when I had nothing to do.

The lake water was too clear, and there were only a few small fish as long as a middle finger. The unknown feeling that a fish might be caught in the next second made him feel more comfortable than the fish themselves.

Now he is the only guest in the entire inn. His daily expenses are no more than 100 US dollars. He has booked ten rooms and arranged them for bodyguards, translators and secretaries.

Whenever he went fishing, Han Chudong would ask the innkeeper to help him make tea.

This woman, who is nearly 30 years old, has fair skin and likes to wear kimono on a daily basis. She has an ordinary appearance, but looks quite comfortable.

When the bodyguards saw that Han Chudong said she would stay for three or four days, but actually stayed for more than ten days and had no intention of leaving, they all wondered if the young boss had any bad intentions. However, there were people on guard every night, and they didn't see her entering or leaving Han Chudong's room, so they stopped gossiping.

August 21st.

Han Chudong wrapped a white cloth around his waist and took a bath in the hot spring in the yard. The female boss offered to help rub his back, so he agreed.

We chatted through the translator from time to time, and after a while we got to know each other's situation a little.

The female boss, named Ishihara Ai, got married in her early twenties. Her husband loved gambling and had beaten her. She was disappointed and decided to divorce him. She built this small hot spring hotel two years ago.

She only knew that Han Chudong was a wealthy man from Los Angeles. She had no idea about his exact net worth or what business he was engaged in. She only knew that he must be very powerful. After all, when he went out for summer vacation, he brought ten subordinates with him.

From time to time, people from big companies such as Shiseido, Panasonic Group, and Tokyo TV came to visit, and judging from their aura, they were definitely not just clerks.

Right now.

The air was filled with the scent of vanilla, and the sounds of insects and birds could be heard constantly.

Han Chudong sat in the not-so-hot pool, holding a martial arts novel in his hand. Recently, while on vacation, he had almost finished reading several novels written by Gu Long.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

She showers almost every day, so her body is not dirty. The female boss Ishihara Ai was so tired that she was out of breath. At this moment, she scooped water with a wooden ladle and carefully poured it on Han Chudong's back. Then she glanced at the dull-looking female translator and said in Japanese: "Can you help me ask him what book he is reading? I think I recognize some Chinese characters."

The female translator that Ishikawa Hayabusa found helped to tell Han Chudong these words in English. Han Chudong smiled and said, "It's just a miscellaneous book about ancient gangs. You don't have to wipe it for me. I take a bath almost every day. Just get me a bath towel later."

"Is it because you're not strong enough, or are you using too much force?" The female boss thought he didn't like it, and her thoughts were very Japanese.

"It's very comfortable, but it's too much trouble for you. I can wipe the other places myself."

In recent days.

Han Chudong's life can be described as enjoying. He walks along the river enjoying the beautiful scenery. Several employees take care of him at the same time, providing services such as cooking and guiding.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the big city and living close to nature, I almost forgot about the business in Los Angeles. I even grilled rabbit myself yesterday, but unfortunately the taste was a little lacking due to the lack of cumin.

I chatted with the female boss with the help of an interpreter. Maybe it was because of business considerations, or maybe it was because she was naturally gentle, but despite the language barrier, I could still feel peace.

After soaking in the hot springs in the evening, I changed into casual clothes and went to the town to make a phone call.

Arthur's assistant told him that Helena Bergman had contacted him, and he also received an invitation to a party from Paul Getty. With a lot of documents waiting to be signed, Han Chudong finally considered returning to Los Angeles...
