Chapter 918: Biding Time

Ito Yuhiko's words made Ye Chen somewhat stunned.

First, he didn't expect Ito Yuhiko to be so knowledgeable about Chinese culture;

Second, he didn't expect Ito Yuhiko to mention the cycle of fate.

He didn't know if the Japanese believed in Feng Shui, but now it seemed that the Japanese at least believed in the cycle of fate.

Ito Yuhiko's words seemed like nonsense, but they faintly contained some truth.

Everything he said wasn't completely groundless. After all, no one could really say for sure about fate.

He remembered Lai Qinghua, the centenarian Feng Shui master he met at Ye Lingshan in Yanjing.

Lai Qinghua relied on the deduction of the cycle of fate to finally meet him at Ye Lingshan.

It was also he who personally broke the fate of the dragon trapped in the shallow beach, allowing him to soar into the sky.

That old gentleman must have a deeper understanding and realization of the cycle of fate.

It's a pity that the old gentleman is on the other side of the ocean, and there may not be a chance to meet again in the future.

Otherwise, he would really like to sit opposite him, taste tea and discuss the Dao, and have a long talk.

However, at this moment, Ye Chen suddenly thought of Ito Yuhiko's words just now.

Fate has cycles; perhaps in the future, he will meet Lai Qinghua again.

By the same token, if he leaves Tokyo and Japan today, perhaps one day in the future he will come back again.

Even if he doesn't come back, he should have a chance to meet Ito Nanako again at some time and some place.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen sighed lightly and said to Ito Yuhiko, "Mr. Ito, I think it's better to leave the future to the future. After all, neither of us can control fate."

Ito Yuhiko nodded and said earnestly, "Mr. Ye, from today on, the door of the Ito family will always be open for you. In the future, the Ito family will conserve strength and store up energy and will not cooperate with any other overseas families or enterprises. If one day, you have enough ambition and want to broaden your horizons, the Ito family can cooperate with you unconditionally at any time!"

Ye Chen laughed, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Ito. However, I am a person without great ambition, and I haven't been to school much, so I have no ambition and no ability, so let it be."

In Ye Chen's view, although his attitude towards Ito Yuhiko had changed, it was not enough for him to let down his guard against him.

Therefore, Ye Chen didn't want him to know his plans for the future.

In fact, in Ye Chen's heart, he very much hoped to use Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical to roll the snowball of his career bigger and bigger.

Because if he wants to avenge his parents, relying on personal strength alone is useless. Not only must personal strength be strong, but economic strength is even more important!

Otherwise, how could he deal with a behemoth like the Su family alone?

Not to mention anything else, just the fact that the Su family could cross the river like a dragon and directly kill the local snake in Japan, the Matsumoto family, shows how strong the Su family's strength is behind the scenes.

This not only shows that the Su family possesses a staggering number of top experts, but also shows that their mobility is extremely strong. When Su Zhifei and Su Zhiyu had an accident in Japan, they could immediately send a large number of experts to swarm in. This deployment efficiency is no worse than the US military.

Without sufficiently powerful strength, relying solely on personal ability, no one can single-handedly challenge such a family.

Not to mention the combat power of dozens or hundreds of experts swarming in, he doesn't even have the ability to protect his relatives and friends around him.

Therefore, Ye Chen knows very well that if he wants to compete face-to-face with a family like the Su family in the future, he must have powerful comprehensive strength and cannot rely on the courage of a brute.

What's more, until now, he still cannot determine how much responsibility the Ye family should bear for his parents' death.

If the Ye family has an inescapable major responsibility in his parents' death, then what he might have to face in the future are the two top families, the Su family and the Ye family.

Therefore, Ye Chen has decided that after returning to Jinling, he will bide his time and develop Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical well.

Starting from Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical, he will step by step build a business empire of his own.

Only in this way will he have the opportunity to wrestle face-to-face with the Su family and the Ye family, or even step them under his feet!

Ito Yuhiko didn't know Ye Chen's true identity, let alone what Ye Chen was thinking. Seeing that he seemed to really have no great ambition, he couldn't help but advise:

"Mr. Ye, you have Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical as a foundation and cash in your hands, why not expand your business?"

"Take ocean shipping as an example. Most of the international oil and bulk trade logistics rely on shipping. Now that the international economic situation is declining, it is a good opportunity to bottom-fish and lay out!"

"Moreover, your China is currently the country with the best economic development momentum and possesses the most sound industrial system. Export trade is rising year by year, and China's demand for ocean shipping to all parts of the world will become greater and greater. The prospects for ocean shipping are even broader!"

"If Mr. Ye is willing to do it, you can start from China. If you need to expand to Japan's port and shipping business, the Ito family will definitely cooperate fully. Even if I have to be your green leaf, I am willing!"

At this time, Ito Yuhiko's thinking was also very simple.

The 4.5 billion US dollars definitely couldn't be asked back.

Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical definitely couldn't be invested in.

Since that's the case, it's better to find a way to attract Ye Chen step by step.

If he could recruit Ye Chen as a son-in-law to the Ito family, what else would he have to worry about in the future?

Ye Chen has strength, ability, and saved his daughter's life. More importantly, his daughter is infatuated with him.

Before, he wanted his daughter to marry Kobayashi Ichiro. That wasn't because he had to force his daughter to marry into the Kobayashi family, but because his daughter at that time was just a silly girl with no love.

She didn't have anyone she liked, and she didn't know if she would move that muscle.

Rather than that, it was better for him to choose the most suitable one for her.

However, she clearly already had someone she liked, and as a father, he naturally hoped that his daughter could get what she wanted.

Moreover, he also felt that a man like Ye Chen was indeed a good choice for a son-in-law.

For his daughter's happiness, he was even willing to let the entire Ito family become his daughter's dowry.

Anyway, he only had this one daughter, and everything was for his daughter to be happy for a lifetime.

As for the Ito family's assets, whether they are surnamed Ito, Yamada, Watanabe, or even Ye in the future, it doesn't matter.

Because these assets will still be in the hands of his daughter, son-in-law, and the descendants born to his daughter.

In Ito Yuhiko's view, true inheritance is bloodline, not nationality, nor surname.

Ye Chen just smiled slightly at Ito Yuhiko's suggestion and said earnestly, "To be honest, my current focus of development is to do Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical well. If Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical can be developed, then I will consider other businesses."
