Chapter Seven: Senior's Support

"Mr. Ito." Seeing that Yuri didn't answer, I stepped forward and said, "Yuri was saying that

if Walmart has the power to mobilize the White House, then no one on Japanese soil can

pose a threat to them, not even you, Mr. Ito."

Ito Masatoshi nodded slightly, said nothing for the moment, and walked into the room, sitting opposite me.

"Hehe, Uncle Ito, Professor Liu's analysis isn't entirely without merit. If the White House gets

involved , it'll be really difficult to handle." Takahashi Shunsuke, afraid that Ito Masatoshi would be angry, quickly smiled and explained for me.

Takahashi Shunsuke wasn't stupid. When his wife was urging Ito Masatoshi to come and demanding that Ito Masatoshi's

bodyguard break down the door, he understood what his wife was worried about.

Out of his usual caution and prudence, Takahashi Shunsuke didn't stop them. However, seeing that there

was none of the ambiguous or intimate atmosphere his wife had imagined in the room, he couldn't help but feel guilty for suspecting his daughter and her teacher

—this suspicion was completely different from his previous worry about his wife, so he

felt guilty and spoke up for me.

"Oh? Is that so? Mr. Liu, do you really think so?" Ito Masatoshi asked me gently.

I glanced at the door; several bodyguards were already standing with their backs to the door, blocking the view from outside.

"Since Mr. Ito personally inquired, then Liu Junxiong has no reason to hide anything," I

said "If Walmart has the ability to influence the White House, then the day they collapse

is not far off. I don't think they would be so foolish as to become the first target of attack."

Ito Masatoshi nodded noncommittally and then said, "But the fact is, the two future White House leaders

are already in Tokyo, right here at this Walmart-hosted banquet. How do you explain that?"

I smiled. "With Mr. Ito's wisdom, how could he not understand this? Think about

it , and the problem will naturally be solved."

"Hahaha..." Ito Masatoshi laughed loudly. The first to react to his laughter

was Takahashi Shizuka, her bright eyes suddenly shining.

Compared to his wife, Takahashi Shunsuke was a minute slower before nodding thoughtfully.

Lily and her four concubines were completely baffled. I smiled faintly and explained gently, "I've told

you before, don't be fooled by appearances. You can't just look at the immediate situation; you have to

connect the causes and consequences to find the answer. In the United States, the top ten financial groups have always controlled the economic and

political direction, and the Republican and Democratic parties check and balance each other. If one of these groups could control the White House's

intentions, the opposition party would immediately join forces with the other groups to launch an offensive and bring

down ."

"Walmart has only been around forty or fifty years, Rockefeller has over a hundred years of

development , and the Morgan group has long dominated Wall Street. Even these two groups wouldn't dare make such a boast, so

Walmart is even less likely to. So, we can think about it the other way around: could this business delegation be

a premeditated plan by the White House, and Walmart's invitation just a cover?"

"Otherwise, given Powell's status as a four-star general and a military giant, and Rumsfeld's high prestige in

politics , would they be so bored as to cheer for Walmart's business expansion in Japan?

Wouldn't that be underestimating their reputation and influence? Walmart's president, Rogup, is also a smart

man. If he truly had good relations with these two heavyweights, would he be so foolish as to willingly expose his good relationship with two political giants just for the sake of

expansion ? The principle of making a fortune quietly

isn't just something we Easterners understand."

Hearing this, the two beauties understood somewhat.

After they had a moment to process what I was saying, I continued, "Considering the current situation in the United States, George W. Bush

's rise to power is a foregone conclusion. As the president of the world's largest country, Bush's only concerns are

politics and economics. The Clinton administration's eight years in office were mediocre in both areas. If Bush wants to

be re-elected for two terms like me, he must have a remarkable record from the outset, both politically

and economically."

"The fact that Powell and Rumsfeld, the future US Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State, are coming together

carries significant meaning. This proves that Bush's first priority after taking office will be

to target Japan, to ally with or utilize Japan for personal gain, and their arrival is a

test ."

"Clap, clap, clap..." As I finished speaking, Masatoshi Ito clapped approvingly, his appreciation evident

.

"Such clear and spot-on analysis is something I haven't heard in years," Ito

Masatoshi nodded. "Mr. Yanagi, when Mrs. Ii chose you to be a teacher at Sakura Academy, I

expressed my disapproval because I believed Sakura Academy's traditions should be maintained... Now it seems I was wrong

. Having a genius like you teaching the children at Sakura Academy is worth breaking with convention."

"Giggle..."

The four little beauties couldn't help but laugh, a proud laugh of course: Toshio was wonderful, not only

academically but also as the best husband...

The elders, watching their giggles, naturally felt pity for their innocent cuteness; the children hadn't

thought that far ahead .

I subtly glared at them, signaling them to tone it down, otherwise, if they really slipped up later,

it wouldn't just be a matter of a swollen little bottom.

"Mr. Liu's analysis is correct. I've always been puzzled. Walmart has only been open in Japan for a few days, yet it has

such strong support. It's unbelievable that such a powerful group couldn't enter the Japanese market before,"

Takahashi Shizuka said softly from the side. "Now I understand that this inspection team was prepared long ago, just lacking

a reason. Walmart was merely a bridge-building agent."

"So, sir, in what ways do you think they want to utilize Japan? In other words,

what exactly are George W. Bush's policies after taking office?" Takahashi Shunsuke asked respectfully.

As long as it didn't involve areas he particularly valued, Takahashi Shunsuke wasn't a narrow-minded person, and...

Besides, the man in front of me was my daughter's teacher. The more capable he was, the better the education my daughter received.

As a father, Shunsuke Takahashi was only happy, not disappointed, and his respectful inquiry was genuine.

I hesitated for a moment. The man in front of me was my true father-in-law, and with Little Midori here too, I had to give him

face .

"According to my analysis, George W. Bush is different from his father, former President George H.W. Bush. He's a hawk and has

never liked being bound by conventional wisdom. This is an inevitable choice for Americans after eight years of the moderate Clinton administration,

" I said calmly. "The US economy is currently declining slowly. To save it, they

can only reach a development agreement with Japan, offering Japan some political benefits, allowing the Japanese government to buy a large amount of

US Treasury bonds and enter the US mainland in a big way, thereby stimulating US economic development. At the same time, politically,

the US has been too silent for the past few years. The EU and Russia are showing signs of defiance and provocation, but

the US cannot touch these two aspects. The only option is to fight another war in the Middle East, just like nine years ago, which would both shock everyone and

demonstrate that US military power can still bring huge benefits."

"Fight another war in the Middle East?" Shunsuke Takahashi muttered to himself, clearly incredulous.

Takahashi Shizuka, however, was concerned with a different issue: "Hmph, haven't we bought

enough US Treasury bonds over the years? The US only has $1.8 trillion in total bonds, and we've already bought $330 billion

, second only to China. How much more do you want us to buy?"

"Buying bonds is just a formality, to demonstrate Japan's full support for the US. The recent US bond

issuances have all been under $100 billion, and this time will be no exception. The Japanese government only needs to buy two or three hundred billion

," I smiled. "Otherwise, what do you think the LDP officials are here for? Just to

exchange pleasantries?"

Takahashi Shizuka was quite dissatisfied with my tone, giving me a strange sidelong glance before saying, "If you're so

insightful, then tell me, what benefits can the US offer Japan that would force us to foot the bill?"

"It's very simple," I looked at her. "If I were George W. Bush, after my inauguration next year, I would announce that my first stop in

Asia would be Japan. Is that enough?"

"Hahaha..." Ito Masatoshi laughed, "Yes, once this bone is thrown out, those

guys can't refuse it. Let alone national debt, they'd be happy to help with the war expenses too

."

He clearly agreed with my point of view.

Takahashi Shizuya's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she showed me a slight increase in admiration.

The Japanese are very wealthy, but they are financial giants and political dwarfs. Due to World War II,

they have always been a target of hatred in Asia, a situation that no amount of economic aid from Japan can

change.

Therefore, they need American support to have any say in Asia; otherwise, anything involving Japan,

especially politics and military matters, can lead to even South Korea and North Korea uniting, let alone other

Asian countries.

The current US President Clinton has visited China and India many times during his term, but has never visited

Japan, causing resentment in Japanese political and business circles. If President George W. Bush were to visit

Japan , it would be a positive signal and show of support for any Japanese affairs.

This was tantamount to George W. Bush's open overtures; the mere national debt and economic cooperation were trivial matters—Japan

had plenty of money.

"Grandpa Ito…" Yuri, taking advantage of Ito Masatoshi's good mood, said softly, "Did you come here

to criticize me for what I've done wrong?"

To cultivate the next generation of successors, Ito Masatoshi no longer managed the day-to-day

affairs , but he would still intervene in major matters. Yuri believed his rare appearance this time

was due to Walmart's suppression of Ito-Yokado.

"Kuan did say that, but don't worry, I've already scolded him for you," Ito Masatoshi

said with a smile and a shake of his head. Kuan was Ito Hiroshi, his second son, who now headed Ito-Yokado. "Kuan is

too conservative, not steady enough! You're absolutely right, Yuri. If our Japanese retail and department store industry

doesn't even have the courage to fight back, we might as well just close down completely."

With Ito Masatoshi, who heads the Japanese retail and department store industry, making this statement, the overall tone was

finally set, and Yuri felt much more at ease. If those people didn't even listen to Ito Masatoshi,

they would only incur the contempt of people from other industries, which would undoubtedly be

very .

"I'll explain to them later that no one will use this to make things difficult for you again,"

Masatoshi Ito said calmly. "You've done a great job turning things around and bringing Sogo back to life.

However, I truly hope that Sogo can go even further in the future and bring honor to Japan's

retail industry. Mr. Yanagi, please also help Yuri with this matter. She's too kind and gentle, and her decision-making is

somewhat lacking."

Masatoshi Ito, being a shrewd old man, knew that I was the one who came up with this method to revive Sogo, so

his words were clearly aimed at me. At the same time, he also saw that for Yuri's reputation, I would not

stop there and would definitely confront Walmart head-on in the future. A fierce battle was inevitable.
