After hanging up the phone, Mitsui Fujisaburo started thinking about where to eat and where to go for fun afterward.
We also need to get that celebrity a nicer car, otherwise they won't be able to project an air of superiority.
Zhao Shanhai was also troubled, wondering how to find an opportunity to negotiate with Toyota again!
The boss is eager to sell his Toyota shares. No one else has the resources to acquire them! Only the Toyota family dares to.
Only he knew that his boss got struck by lightning for showing off.
They're stubbornly sticking to a 50% premium just to save face. If Toyota had softened its stance a little, the deal could have been negotiated further.
As long as the premium is reduced, he can still get a commission from Toyota.
What a pity! The person who promised him a commission was killed by the boss. I wonder if the newly appointed president will uphold the previous president's promise and give him a commission?
Not only do we need to get information from Mitsui Tousaburo, we also need to figure out a way to get this kid to help him earn his commission.
He doesn't lack money now, but who wouldn't want to earn more!
In the evening, I received an address from Mitsui Fujiwara. I'll go grab a bowl of ramen to tide me over; it would be terrible to drink on an empty stomach if I went drinking again.
Upon arrival, they discovered that Mitsui Tousaburo was accompanied by a very charming girl.
She looks to be in her early twenties, but she has a mature air about her, which makes her seem less like a young girl. I guess she takes good care of herself and looks younger.
Mitsui Tousaburo and the girl stood up to greet them. Zhao Shanhai had just sat down when he glanced at the girl and felt that she looked very familiar.
It's a bit impolite to look at it like that, and the girl lowered her head, pretending to be shy.
Mitsui Tousaburo introduced the girl, saying she was a national star of Japan. Araki Yumiko.
As soon as the name was mentioned, Zhao Shanhai knew who it was!
Isn't that the girl from the volleyball team?
When this TV series was introduced to China, it was incredibly popular! He had watched several episodes, so he had some recollection of it.
We met, had a meal, and maybe had a few drinks.
The rest of the program consisted of dancing and such.
This suited Zhao Shanhai's taste perfectly.
When they got into the car after leaving the restaurant, they realized that the girl's car was exceptionally nice.
Zhao Shanhai has ridden in nice cars before; his own boss owns several Mercedes-Benz W14s.
This car certainly doesn't look cheap.
In the dance floor of the ballroom, Zhao Shanhai stopped Araki Yumiko to dance ballroom dance. She only knew three or four steps; she still had to learn the rest slowly.
"If I may ask, is Miss Yumiko married?" Zhao Shanhai's question made Yumiko blush with embarrassment.
"Mr. Zhao, asking that is making me very shy. How about we continue dancing?"
"Sorry for being rude, let's continue dancing." Zhao Shanhai apologized with a smile, then tightened his grip on Yumiko's waist a little.
Dating a famous celebrity has given Zhao Shanhai a second youth, making him look even younger.
Fortunately, no one noticed his bald patch, which was now covered by a wig.
Zhao Shanhai, who had some money, took the initiative to invite Yumiko to dinner, shopping, and so on.
The two were inseparable, like young lovers. Everyone who saw them thought it was a late-life romance, that they had found true love.
Actually, everyone has their own tasks and wants to complete them quickly.
Zhao Shanhai didn't lose out; he just had to spend a little more money. People who are used to being poor would feel the pinch if they really spent money extravagantly!
Every time I spend money, I feel regretful for a long time.
"I heard you're negotiating with Toyota on behalf of your boss?" Yumiko asked during dinner with Zhao Shanhai some time after they had been inseparable for several days.
"Yes, Toyota is in a bit of a mess right now. I haven't met the newly appointed chairman yet," Zhao Shanhai said without changing his expression.
Is it difficult?
“Business negotiations are not as simple as buying groceries; many conditions need to be established. The difficulties are still considerable,” Zhao Shanhai continued.
“Honey, I saw a limited edition sports car I liked yesterday, but it was a little pricey, and I didn’t have enough money on me.”
"It's okay, I'll cover the rest for you. How much is it?"
"One million three hundred thousand US dollars."
"Oh!" Zhao Shanhai frowned slightly. One million three hundred thousand short—how expensive must that car be!
As I picked up a glass of red wine and took a sip, I subconsciously asked, "How much is the car worth?"
"Hehe! One million three hundred and fifty thousand."
"Pfft!" Upon hearing that the entire car only cost 1.35 million, Zhao Shanhai, before he could even swallow the red wine in his mouth, sprayed it onto the ground.
This guy got ripped off, what a terrible injustice.
He spat out the red wine from his mouth and pretended to cough.
Yumiko got up and went over to massage his back. She said, "Don't you have enough money either?"
After calming down a bit, Zhao Shanhai said generously, "Okay, I'll go buy it tomorrow!"
"Thank you." With that, Yumiko gave Zhao Shanhai a kiss on the cheek.
That night, they spent another absurd night at the hotel where Zhao Shanhai was staying.
Having done his good deed, Zhao Shanhai quietly packed his luggage while Yumiko was fast asleep.
He put his luggage at the door, walked to the bedside, woke Yumiko up, and said, "I have received an urgent business trip and need to go to the company right away. Have something to eat for yourself this morning."
After saying that, he picked up his luggage and ran away without looking back.
One million three hundred thousand! He'll be heartbroken to spend that money!
Leaving is the best course of action.
Yumiko, who has been wanting a car for a long time, has been unable to contact Zhao Shanhai for several days, and even when she went to his company, she couldn't find him.
In Zhao Shanhai's words, "If we don't talk about money, we can still be good friends and have a good time together. Talk about money? Ha! We can't even be friends anymore."
