Chapter 882: Matsumoto Ryoto

The lobby of the Aman Hotel.

Matsumoto Ryoto, not yet forty years old, was full of expectation for the meeting with the Su family.

He had come to the hotel personally to ask to see the Su family, hoping to use a humble posture and attitude to seek an opportunity for a face-to-face talk with them.

Although the strength of the Matsumoto family was not as good as the Takahashi and Ito families, Matsumoto Ryoto felt that his ability was not inferior to anyone's, and he was young and bold, definitely the most ideal partner for the Su family.

It was just that the Matsumoto family lacked accumulation in the early years, and the gap with the Takahashi and Ito families was too large.

Although Matsumoto Ryoto had led the Matsumoto family to develop rapidly and strive to catch up with bold measures, there was still some distance between them.

In fact, the Matsumoto family could be said to be the fastest-rising family in all of Tokyo.

Ten years ago, they were unknown; ten years later, today, they were second only to the Takahashi and Ito families. This speed was considered a miracle in the eyes of the outside world.

Therefore, Matsumoto Ryoto believed that he had given the Su family enough face by coming to the hotel personally as the head of the family to ask for a meeting.

However, he did not know that in the eyes of the Su family, the strength of the Matsumoto family was probably only about half that of the Takahashi family or the Ito family, so the Su family naturally would not take him seriously.

At this time, Matsumoto Ryoto was full of confidence. He was recognized as a business genius in Japan, a young tycoon with real ability to conquer the world, so he felt that the Su family should give him a chance for a face-to-face talk, and he would definitely use his eloquence and vision to persuade them to cooperate with him.

Matsumoto Ryoto's assistant was somewhat uneasy and said, "Boss, do you think the Su family will be willing to cooperate with us?"

Matsumoto Ryoto straightened his suit tie and said confidently, "After we meet in a while, I will definitely use my ability and charm to make the Su family realize that I, Matsumoto Ryoto, am their most perfect partner! As for Ito Takehiko and Takahashi Machi, they are just a bunch of old men with outdated thinking and worrying abilities!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Su family's assistant made a call to the front desk.

The young lady at the front desk finished the call and immediately came to Matsumoto Ryoto, bowed, and said, "Mr. Matsumoto, I am very sorry, Mr. Su and Miss Su do not have time to see you. Please go back."

Matsumoto Ryoto was stunned for a moment, and after a long while, he asked in a daze, "What did you say? They don't have time to see me?!"

The young lady at the front desk nodded gently and said, "That is indeed the case, so please go back."

Matsumoto Ryoto suddenly felt a burning sensation on his face!

He was, after all, the head of the Matsumoto family and a leader among young Japanese entrepreneurs. He had come to the hotel personally to ask to see the Su family, which could be said to have already lowered his status very humbly.

But he never dreamed that even though he had come to ask for a meeting so humbly, he had still been subjected to the most ruthless and direct insult from the other party!

"No time?!"

"Just a mere 'no time' to dismiss me?!"

"Aren't the Su family members a bit too arrogant, or even arrogant to the point of excess?!"

"Even if you are a top family in China, and even if you really have a very good major project in your hands, you can't just step on my face on the ground, right?!"

"What's even more excessive is that you didn't even come to step on my face yourself, but let a hotel front desk clerk do it. Where does this leave my face?!"

Thinking of this, Matsumoto Ryoto darkened his face and said coldly to the front desk clerk, "Contact them again and tell them that I am Matsumoto Ryoto, head of the Matsumoto family and president of the Tokyo Young Entrepreneurs Association. I have come today only to ask to see the Su family's Young Master and Young Lady. Tell them they must find time to have a face-to-face talk with me!"

The front desk clerk was frightened by his somewhat ferocious expression and stammered, "Sir, I am really sorry! The assistants of the two distinguished guests have clearly informed us that the two distinguished guests really do not have time to see you, so please do not make things difficult for us..."

Matsumoto Ryoto's originally strong self-confidence was instantly shattered by this front desk clerk!

He scolded almost hysterically, "My name is Matsumoto Ryoto, not 'this gentleman'! Do you understand?"

The front desk clerk stepped back a few steps in fear, "I am very sorry, Mr. Matsumoto, I am just conveying the reply of the distinguished guests to you, please forgive me..."

In the lobby, many people were whispering while looking at Matsumoto Ryoto.

These people were whispering in twos and threes. Although he couldn't hear what they were saying, from their expressions, Matsumoto Ryoto could tell that they were all laughing at him!

He had always been conceited, believing that in terms of ability, he was the top chair among all young Japanese entrepreneurs.

Yet he didn't expect that he would take the initiative to ask for a meeting, but the other party wouldn't even bother to see him!

This made Matsumoto Ryoto feel incomparably resentful in his heart.

Matsumoto Ryoto clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, his whole body trembling violently with anger.

The more confident and conceited a person is, the worse their psychological endurance.

The more a person feels that everyone must look up to them, the more they fear being looked down upon by others.

Matsumoto Ryoto was the most typical example.

At this time, his heart was angry to the extreme, but he couldn't find an outlet to vent it.

And his red-faced appearance made the surrounding people look down on him and mock him even more.

Although many people might not have Matsumoto Ryoto's strength and wealth, seeing him make a fool of himself in public, they still felt secretly pleased in their hearts.

Matsumoto Ryoto's assistant saw that everyone was laughing at him, so he hurriedly stepped forward and whispered, "Boss, why don't we leave first? In case some nosy person takes out their phone and records a video to upload to the internet, causing a bad influence, it won't be easy to handle..."

Matsumoto Ryoto gritted his teeth and nodded gently.

The moment he turned to leave, he felt the whole world laughing at him behind his back.

Biting the bullet and returning to his car, Matsumoto Ryoto urged the driver to drive as soon as he sat in. He was afraid that if he left slowly, he would become a laughingstock, and he was afraid that the mockery and laughter of those people would reach his ears.

The assistant couldn't help but persuade him, "Boss, the Su family must think that our overall strength is still much worse than the Takahashi and Ito families, so they treat us as a backup for cooperation and don't want to waste time with us. But this must be their loss!"

Matsumoto Ryoto was silent for a long while, his eyes bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth and said, "So they want to make a choice between Takahashi and Ito, right? Very well! Since they don't want to give me face, don't blame me for being ruthless! This time, it happens to be a great opportunity for me to surpass the Takahashi and Ito families in one fell swoop!"

The assistant asked in surprise, "Boss, you... what do you mean by that? I don't understand..."

Matsumoto Ryoto said coldly with a venomous expression, "You don't need to understand, just do as I say!"

The assistant immediately said, "Boss, please give your orders!"

Matsumoto Ryoto said coldly, "The first thing, I will write a check for 20 million US dollars. You take it and find the leader of the Iga family. Tell him this is just a deposit. If he is interested, come to my house to talk to me. If he is not interested, this money will be a souvenir gift from me to him!"
