"Thank you so much!" Hirao Daichi was so happy to hear Ning Zhiheng's words that he burst into tears. He had been exhausted by this matter for so many days, being chased like a dog and hiding from others, but the master had only gone out once and had already solved the problem.
As a member of the Fujiwara family of Kyoto, his background and strength were beyond the imagination of a nobody like him. In this world, the weak must rely on the strong and hide under their wings in order to survive safely. Hirao Daichi secretly made up his mind that he must seize this opportunity no matter what.
Ning Zhiheng said calmly, "I want to open a trading company in Shanghai. You deal with merchants every day and are quite familiar with the situation in Shanghai, so I'll entrust the preparation work for this trading company to you, as well as the daily operation and management. Can you handle it?"
Ning Zhiheng's words completely stunned Hirao Daichi, leaving him speechless for a long time. He never expected that his master would ask him to set up the trading company himself and hand over all the work to him. This showed how much he valued and trusted him.
From a destitute fugitive to the manager of a trading company, such a glamorous turn of events made him feel as if he were in a dream.
"What? You're having trouble?" Ning Zhiheng said coldly. He doesn't keep idle people around. If Hirao Daichi's abilities are insufficient and he can't be used by him, then he must give up on this person and there's no need to put effort into cultivating him.
"No, no, absolutely no problem! Sir, I've been doing these kinds of trivial trade matters for years, these things are no problem at all. As long as you trust me, I can get this trading company ready very soon." Hirao Daichi finally came to his senses, bowed respectfully, and kept agreeing.
Ning Zhiheng nodded in satisfaction. In his judgment, Hirao Daichi was a shrewd and capable person who had been in the business world for many years. He was not lacking in intelligence.
Furthermore, the most important things in doing business are connections and background. With these two things, even a pig can make money; everything else is secondary!
More importantly, Hirao Daichi only turned to him because he had nowhere else to turn, so his loyalty is trustworthy. Now that he has no one else to rely on, Hirao Daichi is indeed a good choice.
“I’m prepared to invest $100,000 as a reserve fund. The scale of trade will continue to expand in the future, so you’d better do some preparations in advance. My time is very tight, so you need to get started immediately!” Ning Zhiheng instructed.
One hundred thousand US dollars? Hirao Daichi felt his head buzzing. He had been in the business world for many years, but he had never dealt with such a large amount of money. This was a very large trading company. Now he was going to become the manager of such a company. It was simply unimaginable!
"In addition, the South House Library that I was planning to build should also be prepared immediately and rebuilt as soon as possible. You can handle this. I have the blueprints here. You just need to contact the construction team. Do you understand?" Ning Zhiheng instructed again.
"Yes, I will start handling these matters immediately, please rest assured, sir!" Hirao Daichi had already completed his mindset shift at an extremely fast pace, putting himself into the role, and said with full confidence despite his hesitation.
Ning Zhiheng then instructed, "You can withdraw the funds you need directly from Chi Mu. Unless it's a major matter, you don't need to consult me!"
"Understood!" Hirao Daichi quickly replied, then turned around and bowed respectfully to Yi Hua'an, who was standing behind Ning Zhiheng. "Please continue to take care of me, Akagi-kun!"
He knew very well that Akagi Yukihito was the master's true confidant and retainer, and that all his actions would probably be under Akagi's supervision. However, he had made up his mind to follow the master wholeheartedly and to maintain a good relationship with him in the future!
Yi Hua'an nodded with a slightly arrogant attitude, without saying a word!
Having finished explaining everything, Hirao Daichi couldn't sit still for a moment. His boss had given him a lot of work, and he couldn't afford to waste a single moment. Now was the time for Hirao Daichi to perform well and demonstrate his value!
