Chapter 916: Taking Over the Family

After hearing Ito Yuhiko finish these words, Ye Chen looked at him with new eyes.

It seems that Ito Yuhiko indeed has a very good overall view, and he can control the greed in his heart, not being greedy for more, nor being rash.

If it were a family with strong ambition and greed, they would probably start to act high and mighty and go in both directions at this time.

On one hand, they would comprehensively suppress other families in the country, strive to eat up their shares in a short period of time, and make themselves fat;

On the other hand, they would have to cooperate with big overseas families as soon as possible to further open up profit channels and develop themselves rapidly.

However, Ito Yuhiko was able to see the situation clearly, as well as the hidden dangers and risks.

There is no doubt that the Su family is indeed a tiger-and-wolf family.

Such a family not only lacks chivalry but has also lost basic humanity.

When cooperating with such a family, one must be on guard at all times; otherwise, it is highly likely that the other party will stab you hard in the back.

And if you lean towards the Su family's competitors, it is equivalent to standing directly on the opposite side of the Su family, which is even more dangerous.

Rather than that, it is better to close the door and work hard to develop yourself.

Ito Emi also understood her brother's worries and foresight and said earnestly, "Brother, you are right. It was Emi who was too dull and didn't see this layer."

Ito Yuhiko waved his hand, "Your thinking is also normal. Starting a business is like gambling. Either you just gamble big, and maybe you can win an unparalleled future; or after you have accumulated a certain amount of chips, you learn to quit while you are ahead..."

Speaking of this, Ito Yuhiko sighed, "If it were before tonight, I might have thought the same as you, taking this opportunity to gamble big. However, after walking through the gates of hell and losing my legs, I finally know the preciousness of life and the meaning of living. Moreover, after knowing that I almost lost Nanako, I realized this point even more..."

"Therefore, I want to be more cautious now. Steady and solid is more important than anything else."

Ito Emi nodded earnestly.

At this time, Ito Yuhiko glanced at Ito Nanako and said earnestly, "Nanako, since you have recovered, from now on, stay in Tokyo and accompany Otosan."

Ito Nanako was slightly hesitant.

She liked the environment in Kyoto and was reluctant to leave Kyoto.

However, thinking that the situation was special now and she couldn't follow her own preferences anymore, she immediately said, "Okay Otosan, Nanako will stay and accompany you!"

Ito Yuhiko added, "Letting you stay in Tokyo is not just for you to accompany me, but also for you to get in touch with the family's business and industry earlier, and start preparing for taking over."

Ito Nanako hurriedly said, "Otosan, Nanako has no experience in operating family businesses. Is it too early now?"

Ito Yuhiko nodded and said earnestly, "It is indeed a bit early, but the situation is special now. My legs are gone, and it will be inconvenient to move around in the future..."

Speaking of this, Ito Yuhiko sighed with some desolation, "Moreover, as a disabled person, I am not very suitable to come forward on behalf of the family, which will affect the family's image."

"Therefore, you must be ready to take my place now. At the very least, you must take on the family's external image. In the future, you will represent the Ito family outside."

Ito Emi also advised, "Yes, Nanako, you should stand out and come to the front stage on behalf of your father, letting your father teach you from behind and offer advice for you."

Ito Nanako nodded gently and said, "Okay, I will definitely work hard!"

Seeing Nanako agree so readily, Ito Yuhiko and Ito Emi both breathed a sigh of relief.

Ito Yuhiko naturally had high hopes for his daughter, but Nanako was obsessed with martial arts before and had no great interest in the operation and management of family businesses.

At that time, Ito Yuhiko was still worrying about how to make his daughter gradually focus her attention on inheriting the family business.

He thought his body could hold on for another ten years or so, which would give Ito Nanako a few more years of freedom.

He didn't expect such a big change to happen all of a sudden.

Although most of Japanese culture originated from China, it has developed some localization to a greater or lesser extent.

In China, entrepreneurs mostly put interests first and don't pay much attention to external image issues.

However, in Japan, due to the high degree of Westernization after the Meiji Restoration, Japanese entrepreneurs attach great importance to the external image of the enterprise.

To give a simplest example, if you do clerical work in a Japanese company, you will have a headache in summer.

Because most Japanese companies require their employees to wear formal attire during working hours, even in midsummer, they must wear shirts and suits, and even tie ties.

Therefore, Japanese entrepreneurs who hold press conferences or attend public events, regardless of age, are all in formal attire.

And the Japanese like to bow. They often stand up and bow ninety degrees while talking, and then sit down and continue talking.

Therefore, Ito Yuhiko's current state is particularly unsuitable as an external spokesperson for the enterprise.

Although Ito Nanako is young, she has an excellent image and is particularly in line with the Japanese aesthetic. Having her be responsible for external affairs is the best choice for the Ito family.

Ye Chen also thought highly of Ito Nanako and encouraged her, "If Nanako takes over the Ito family, she has the potential to make the Ito family an internet-famous enterprise. At that time, the media will definitely play up the persona of a beautiful president. Once Nanako's beautiful president persona is successfully established, it will allow the Ito family to achieve twice the result with half the effort in their career."

Hearing Ye Chen's words, Ito Nanako couldn't help but feel a little shy, blushing and saying, "Mr. Ye Chen, please don't make fun of Nanako. What kind of temperament of a beautiful president do I have? It's just being forced to do something I'm not ready for."

Ye Chen said earnestly, "Don't belittle yourself. With your perfect image and temperament, you will definitely become a beautiful entrepreneur pursued crazily by all of Japan in the future, and you might even become a business card for the Japanese business world overseas."

Being praised by Ye Chen like this, Ito Nanako felt both shy and happy in her heart. Moreover, she was a young girl whose heart had just been stirred, and she had no ability to hide herself in such matters, so she could only lower her head deeper and deeper.

Ito Yuhiko immediately saw the unusualness of his daughter. At this moment, he could be certain that his daughter had fallen in love with this Chinese man, Ye Chen.

Observing for a moment, he became even more firm in his view.

At this moment, as a father, he felt a bit melancholy deep in his heart, but at the same time, he also felt a bit gratified by his daughter's emotional maturity.

Therefore, he said, "Emi, Nanako, you two go out first. I have some words I want to chat with Mr. Ye privately!"
