Chapter Two: The Beauty's Clever Scheme

Seeing that I hadn't spoken for a long time, Baihe assumed I was angry at her for making decisions on her own, and her heart began

to pound with unease .

She was used to my gentle and good-natured nature, and this sudden change in attitude was quite unusual.

Baihe wasn't actually that strongly opposed to Zhenjia being with me, because she had been listening to her younger sister recount

her relationship with her boyfriend. Although her sister looked sweet, Baihe, having experienced matters of the heart,

could tell that her sister was still a virgin… Baihe knew I had several beautiful wives,

and the fact that I hadn't taken advantage of her sister showed that I respected Zhenjia.

Even if she didn't object, Baihe didn't agree either; otherwise, she wouldn't have specifically left Zhenjia in the US

to handle all the communication matters with Walmart.

What a joke! How could the heir of the prestigious Ii family be with another

woman ?

Even if many wealthy and noble families practiced polygamy, Baihe would absolutely not allow her sister

to do the same .

Seeing how infatuated Mako was, Yuri didn't dare to directly tell her that her man was a womanizer,

that he had three beautiful young women at home in Tokyo, and that they often slept together...

All she could do was play the victim card, saying how hard her sister worked managing the family affairs, and how the partnership with

Walmart was the most important weapon to counter the collateral branches of the family. She needed to leave

someone reliable in America to help with the affairs.

What could Mako say at this point? Like Yuri, she was a gentle and

kind woman at heart. Hearing how hard her sister worked, even if she didn't want to manage the family affairs, she volunteered

to stay this time.

After successfully keeping Mako, Yuri rushed back, wanting to negotiate with me. She wanted me to either give up Eri

, Koharu, and Chikage, or give up Mako; we couldn't drag this out.

But before she could even speak, the stunningly beautiful young woman saw me molesting a beautiful woman, possibly

drugged, which made her so angry she almost went berserk.

As she said, Lily greatly admired my business acumen. Beyond

the auction strategy of pruning and preserving the core, my ingenious plan to seek funding and support from abroad to help the struggling

SOGO, bypassing the Japanese market, was something no one else could have conceived of.

Upon arriving in the US, Lily, following my instructions, went directly to

Walmart and presented them with a detailed letter of intent to sell eight branches and restructure the company's shares—

all clearly laid out on the Walmart president's desk.

SOGO's information was also immediately uncovered. Upon seeing the data on this long-established Japanese department

store giant and its potential influence, Walmart's president's eyes lit up.

It's worth noting that Walmart's founder, Sam Walton, had two major regrets in his life. One was that,

for various reasons, he hadn't secured a foothold in the Asian market, which held the greatest potential for the future. This legacy still lingers in the mind of his second

son , the current Walmart president, Rogers.

Driven by his father's wishes, Rogup had worked tirelessly over the years. In 1996, he

opened the first Walmart store in mainland China, located in Shenzhen, and in 1998, he opened a branch in South Africa… But

things didn't quite stop there. Walmart neither expanded significantly in China nor fully penetrated the South Korean market…

As for Japan, Asia's largest consumer market… he didn't even have a chance to enter.

South Africa is known for its extreme xenophobia, evident in the experiences of major car manufacturers .

And if that's not enough, just look at the import restrictions on foreign fruits, vegetables, and meat products—you'll understand how strong South Africa 's

trade barriers are.

The Walmart Asia president, who had successfully entered the South Korean market, repeatedly

encountered setbacks . Perhaps this bad luck was contagious, as business in both South Africa and China also faltered.

The Walmart Asia president, and even Rogup himself, faced scrutiny.

Unexpectedly, amidst such difficulties, a huge gift arrived for Rogup, leaving

him overjoyed and pacing excitedly around his office.

As the world's second-largest economy, Japan's consumer power is comparable to that of the entire United States. If

Rogup could completely establish a foothold in Japan, such a significant achievement would earn him and his father,

Sam , a place in the Walton family's hall of fame.

However, the people of Zuoyuan are, after all, Americans, especially businessmen. They are very indifferent to personal relationships.

Rogup's excitement only lasted a short while before he calmed down and resumed reviewing SOGO's information. After a period of

review, consultation, and comparison, on the third day, Rogup received Lily and her group, clearly telling her that

Walmart currently had little interest in the Asian region, focusing primarily on attacking the European market, so

Lily might be disappointed.

Lily came from a distinguished family and was a smart girl. While she didn't understand business, she was not

ignorant of interpersonal relationships. She knew about Rogup's investigation into SOGO through various channels,

thinking, "If you're not interested, why investigate so thoroughly? It seems Junxiong was right; these barbarians

know I'm desperate for support, so they're trying to drive down the price."

Since I told Lily about the measures Walmart might take, I naturally also told her

how to retaliate.

After listening with a smile to Roger's expression of regret, Lily stood up and spoke to the Walmart president.

It was a pity the cooperation hadn't succeeded this time; she would return to Japan to think of another way, but before returning, she would go to

Chicago as a sightseeing trip.

Upon hearing this, Roger's feigned smile immediately froze on his face.

Go to Chicago for sightseeing?

Nobody believed that!

Besides the Chicago Bulls, there was almost nothing to see in Chicago… except, except for the Sears Tower,

the world's tallest building, which is the headquarters of Sears Roebuck, the fourth largest supermarket group in the United States.

Sam Walton had two great regrets in his life: one was failing to open up the Asian market, and the other was

failing to completely destroy Sears Roebuck, the company that had relentlessly suppressed him in the early stages of his business.

Sears Roebuck, the largest department store chain in the United States with the most employees, relentlessly suppressed Walmart for two decades during the 1960s and

70s , nearly bankrupting it several times

and driving Sam Walton to the brink of collapse, causing him countless tears.

After Walmart grew stronger, Sam Walton began his relentless revenge.

His suppression of Sears Roebuck was merciless and

ruthless , but Sears Roebuck was not to be trifled with. They united with several other major American department

stores to resist Walmart's encroachment, and even today, they continue to

fight Walmart in various sectors, like a stubborn leech. Hatred is easier to remember than kindness. 　　Expanding into new markets is merely a business advancement, but personal grudges can never be erased.

Roebuck 　　still remembers his father's dying words. He called himself to his side and instructed him to acquire Sears Roebuck, his expression filled with anticipation. From that moment on, he resolved to fulfill his father's dying wish, even surpassing his own ambition to expand the Walmart empire. 　　Unfortunately, from 1992 to the present, eight years later, Walmart has not only failed to suppress Sears , but its market share in the US has further declined due to the alliance of several other competitors . This failure has even overshadowed the continuous success that Rogers has led Walmart to achieve in South America. 　　If this Japanese beauty were to go to Chicago, she would definitely go to Sears Roebuck. In any case, Sears Roebuck would be just as interested as he was. Two hundred dollars is a very cheap price for a large American department store retail group; it would be strange if they didn't take advantage of it. 　　At that time, Rogers would probably become a laughing stock in the business world; not only did he fail to avenge his father, but he was also further pressured and lost the best opportunity to enter Asia. 　　Yes, entering Japan means entering Asia. The influence of the Japanese business community in Asia is equivalent to the United States in Europe and America. Once Sears Roebuck conquers the Japanese market, it means that the whole of Asia will be open to them. Starting from Japan and radiating outwards across Asia, in less than ten years, a massive commercial retail empire will be formed, and Walmart will be trampled underfoot. 　　Undeniably, there are many details involved, and whoever undertakes it will need to work extremely hard. Whether Sears Roebuck succeeds is another matter, but whoever has this opportunity will gain a head start. This is undeniable. 　　Roebuck didn't even want to give Sears Roebuck this opportunity. Others could, but they couldn't. Immediately, Roebuck, in the most sincere manner, said that he was actually very interested, but the board of directors was still somewhat hesitant, and earnestly requested that Lily stay one more day so he could try to secure it. 　　Everyone who heard this found it somewhat laughable. Who doesn't know that Walmart is owned by your family of five ? Isn't the board of directors just a meeting of your Walton family? Using that as an excuse, how shameless! 　　Whether or not he had any face to lose was irrelevant to Walmart's president; what mattered to him were profits and personal grudges. Agreeing to Sogo's request was already advantageous for Walmart. They had initially planned to use a cold shoulder to pressure for a lower price, but now it seemed that was no longer feasible; the other side had seized the initiative in the negotiations. 　　Lily, of course, had no intention of ending the negotiations. In terms of terms, Walmart was the best partner, and forcing them to concede was already progress. Next, she awaited the arduous negotiations. A large-scale business negotiation not only involved negotiation skills but also the discussion of hundreds of terms. Lily had brought over twenty professional negotiators, all business , specifically prepared for this negotiation. 　　However, facing Walmart's global professional negotiators, they were still somewhat weaker. Furthermore, the Japanese naturally felt inferior when facing Meituan representatives, and the negotiations progressed very poorly. A week had passed without any progress. If Lily hadn't followed my instructions to stick to her bottom line and resolutely refuse to concede, she probably would have already been at the negotiating table for most of the time. 　　Just then, Yuri received a call from Japan, saying that her younger sister had used the family's influence to find her boyfriend, Liu Junxiong, who had gone missing in the typhoon. 　　Makoto wouldn't make that call; she knew I was safe and sound, so it was just a pretense, and she had no intention of telling her older sister. 　　The beautiful nurse's silence didn't mean the family's butlers weren't excited. It was the first time they'd discovered the second young lady had a boyfriend, so they excitedly called the eldest young lady to share the good news. 　　Before Yuri could even figure out who this Liu Junxiong was, the family butler happily added that this Mr. Liu Junxiong was the new teacher at the Sakura Troupe, extremely knowledgeable, and a renowned genius from Harvard University, highly regarded by the aristocratic girls. All thirteen of his students had helped out. It was clear this gentleman was a perfect match for Makoto. 　　The stunningly beautiful young woman nearly fainted from anger; slamming down the phone was understandable. The fact that she didn't immediately fly into a rage and rush back to Japan to kill someone was a testament to her restraint. 　　The beautiful young woman, her teeth practically clenched in anger, was in a terrible mood. Her hopes for SOGO's rescue vanished . After calming down slightly, she instructed her trusted housekeeper to call her subordinates at the negotiating table, ordering them to halt negotiations and prepare to return to Japan that afternoon. 　　Yuri's unreasonable demands had exceeded the bounds of business negotiation, but as Japanese elites, they knew Yuri's identity. They held more respect and fear Since her subordinates had ordered a halt to negotiations, these elites were happy to avoid being pressured by the Americans. They immediately disregarded business etiquette, stood up, and said their boss thought the Americans were too slow and had decided to return home. 　　The American business negotiation elites, who had been jubilantly pressuring the Japanese at the negotiating table, were stunned, as if struck in the face: Why were the Japanese, who seemed poised to yield in just a few days, suddenly backing out? Was this how you ask for someone? 　　The Japanese elites had had enough of their condescension. Having finally had a chance to express their dissatisfaction, they didn't say much. They packed their things, bowed, and left the negotiation room.

When Roger received the call from his subordinate, he was completely stunned. He couldn't understand why the Japanese would give up.

Were angry and frustrated during the negotiations and using this as leverage?

Unfortunately, he immediately received another message: the stunningly beautiful Japanese woman had already arranged for the airport to prepare, and

her private jet would take off that afternoon to return to Japan.

Roger now knew that the Japanese weren't joking; they were genuinely going to terminate the negotiations.

Roger was a Westerner, so he would never understand the Eastern way of thinking.

Easterners prioritize personal relationships in business, while Westerners prioritize terms and interests. So even if

Lily herself told him that her sister was with a philandering man whose fate was unknown,

and that she had to go back to comfort her heartbroken sister… the president of Walmart wouldn't believe her; he would only think she

was joking .

Since Roger didn't understand the Eastern way of thinking, he considered his own concerns. He thought of

Sears Roebuck, assuming that the company had secretly contacted the Japanese and offered better terms.

Left with no other choice, Roger had to go back to Lily's hotel and present his carefully considered

plan .

Lily suspended negotiations at 10:00 AM, and the airport's scheduled departure time was 10:00 PM, so she hadn't left the hotel

by .

While waiting for air traffic control to be lifted, it wouldn't hurt to look at Rogup's plan; she hadn't

planned , but wanted to settle things with her sister first.

Upon seeing the contract, the stunningly beautiful young woman's brow relaxed, and a smile appeared on her lips.

Rogup had basically made concessions, drafting the plan according to Lily's conditions. The acquisition funds were

the original 10 billion, but surprisingly, while Lily demanded 10 billion for 40% of the shares,

Walmart offered 20 billion, albeit with an additional performance-based agreement.

Financing parties offering excessively favorable financing amounts usually come with some conditions. Lily was aware of

performance-based agreements, but Japanese companies generally resisted them, so she instinctively wanted to discuss

removing this clause and sticking to the original agreement.

However, at this moment, the Japanese elites were showing great

interest .

The Japanese are adept at business management, but when it comes to cunning and intrigue, they are far inferior to

the elites .

Faced with this enormous temptation, the elites belonging to the Yuri family's businesses felt that if they

secured this deal, it would cause a sensation in Japan. They imagined being overwhelmed with respect and

admiration . In this state of mind, they began to seriously study the terms of the deal.

Rogup's terms were simple: if the restructured Sogo company failed to

achieve an average annual profit growth of 10% within the next three years, the extra $100 would be

used to directly purchase 25% of Sogo's shares at the original price. This would give Walmart

a 65% stake in Sogo, allowing them complete control over Sogo's decision-making and operations.

Conversely, if the restructured Sogo company achieved an average annual profit growth of 10

% the extra $100 would

belong to the Yuri family, who controlled Sogo—essentially a free $100.

A 10% profit increase sounds simple, but it's not easy to achieve. But the business is taking place in

Japan , and these elites are determined that if the contract is signed, they will all

go to the SOGO branch. They don't believe that with their combined hard work, they can't achieve a mere 10% annual growth.

They have reason to be confident, because the Japanese, like the Germans, have

an absolutely ; this is how Japan's post-war economic miracle was achieved.

After reaching a consensus, the twenty-odd elites quickly

reported

Lily is not a greedy woman. This elegant and noble beauty doesn't care about

the amount of money, so 10 billion US dollars is nothing to her. Seeing her subordinates so

excited, Lily felt that refusing their request would be demoralizing, but if she agreed to the betting agreement

, would it affect her family's control over SOGO?

At this moment, the beautiful woman thought of the person in Japan. She then muttered 　　a curse under her

breath, "Pah, that bastard, that lecherous bastard, he actually had the leisure to go to Osaka to pick up his own

sister . Now he deserves it, falling into the sea..." Amidst her cursing, Yuri was also worried about my safety, though she wouldn't say it aloud. Deep down, besides wanting to teach her sister a lesson, she also wanted to know if I was safe. 　　Seeing the stunningly beautiful young woman's ever-changing expression, her subordinates dared not look too long, keeping their heads down and awaiting her decision. 　　Things just happened to be like that. It was now seven hours after Yuri received the call, and it was 11 PM . The Japanese side called again immediately: "Miss Yi's boyfriend has been successfully rescued and is now safe and sound." 　　Yuri hung up the phone and smiled sweetly, captivating . But the next moment, they noticed a frosty look appear on Yuri's face, and they quickly lowered their heads again. 　　Clearly, after letting go of her worries, the stunningly beautiful young woman was thinking about her sister's relationship with me. 　　"No, we have to separate them..." The beautiful young woman pondered, then suddenly noticed the plan on the table. An idea struck her: "If we partner with Walmart, we'll need a coordination office in the US. Couldn't we just call Zhenjia over? Once we're separated, their feelings will fade over time. Then I can tell Zhenjia about Liu Junxiong's womanizing..." 　　Thinking of this, Baihe's mood improved. As for the betting agreement, that was a minor matter. That man was so despicable, daring to seduce her own sister. She decided not to ask him for advice, lest he think he's something special.
