Chapter 1696: Do you believe in thieves colluding with each other?

"His words are not worth trusting."

Kenichi Nishida frowned as he watched Li Xuewu leave, his expression vicious as he said, "This is just a white-eyed wolf that can never be tamed."

"We were too reckless at the beginning."

Kazuya Ninomiya had the same feeling. He sighed and said, "At that time, we never thought there would be a situation like today."

Shuji Nakamura did not speak. He just frowned tightly, looking toward the entrance of the cafe, not knowing what he was thinking.

"What should we do?" Seeing that neither of the two was speaking, Kazuya Ninomiya looked at one and then the other, asking, "We can't just sit here and wait for death, right?"

"You cannot lose your footing on your side."

Kenichi Nishida picked up the coffee on the table, not even caring that it was cold, drank it in one gulp, and said, "Let's stabilize things first before talking."

"But—" Kazuya Ninomiya reminded him, "Once the Red Steel Group reaches a cooperation agreement with Panasonic, I'm afraid there won't be much time left for us."

"Then what do you say we should do?" Kenichi Nishida first glanced at the silent Nakamura, then asked Ninomiya, "Give me a train of thought."

"I don't know much about the situation of the Red Steel Group." Kazuya Ninomiya paused and asked softly, "Is it really just whatever he says goes?"

"What do you mean?" Nakamura's frown deepened. He stared into his eyes and emphasized, "Don't have such dangerous thoughts!"

"But he was the one who made the first move!" Ninomiya glanced at Nakamura and said, "Do you really regard him as a friend?"

"Don't be too naive. He doesn't consider you a friend at all, Nakamura-kun."

"You cannot do this!" Nakamura became anxious and reminded the two, "This will only make the misunderstanding deeper, and there will be no room for redemption."

"Then what do you say we should do?"

Kenichi Nishida clearly agreed with Kazuya Ninomiya's ruthlessness. At this moment, he was already standing from the other's perspective to retort to Nakamura, "We have no way out."

"The local factory has already been sold. We only have the R&D department now. Are you going to let them use production to threaten us?"

Kazuya Ninomiya also said angrily, "You just heard it too. He is so fearless and arrogant to the extreme."

"It's all my fault," Kenichi Nishida lowered his head slightly and said, "I shouldn't have placed bets so easily, leading to the current situation."

"Things have reached this point, what's the use of saying these things?" Kazuya Ninomiya hardened his heart and said, "Since he won't cooperate, then find someone who can."

"I don't dare to think about it anymore—" Nakamura was shocked beyond measure by the madness of the two. He shook his head slightly and said in disbelief, "Even if this plan has the slightest loophole or mistake..."

"It's just death either way; it's just a matter of dying sooner or later." Ninomiya let out a long breath, as if he had made some major decision.

He looked at Kenichi Nishida and said, "Even if we don't do anything, within two years, we will be replaced by Panasonic."

"By then, without the production link, we will definitely become a discarded pawn, and the collapse of the situation is right before our eyes."

Nakamura did not dare to speak at this time because his opposition was ineffective, and the worries he expressed failed to arouse the vigilance of the two.

He was now in a two-against-one situation. No matter what he said, the car that was Sanhe was actually already handed over to Nishida and Ninomiya to control.

Whether there was an abyss or a smooth path ahead, he could only resign himself to fate; he had no other way.

"Since it has been decided, don't hesitate."

Seeing that Nakamura no longer opposed and Nishida had already tacitly approved of this plan, Ninomiya emphasized, "We cannot let him return to his country, otherwise it will be even more difficult."

"Don't forget his former identity." Nakamura helplessly opened his mouth to remind them, "As far as I know, he never leaves his weapons behind."

"But this is Japan!" Kazuya Ninomiya tapped the dining table and emphasized, "It's impossible for him to carry weapons on his person."

"Nakamura is right, he is a bit difficult to deal with."

Kenichi Nishida narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "And if we want to keep him in Japan, we cannot leave any excuses for the other side."

"What do you mean?" Kazuya Ninomiya raised his eyebrows and tried to ask, "Manufacture an accident?"

"It must be an accident."

Kenichi Nishida nodded and said indifferently, "If something happens to him, it will definitely be traced back to us."

He tapped the dining table and said, "Especially tonight, he has already met with us. The investigators will not let go of this detail."

"Moreover, the Ministry of International Trade and Industry attaches great importance to this exchange activity. If an unexpected situation occurs, we must always give the other side an explanation."

"If he really has an accident," Kazuya Ninomiya raised an eyebrow and said sinisterly, "We will take the opportunity to express our concern and condolences."

"We would rather suffer a little loss than transfer this pressure."

His face already had fantasies of success. He nodded and said, "We can invest more R&D technology and financial strength."

"Of course, we need a friendly cooperation partner," Kenichi Nishida also smiled and said, "Not the white-eyed wolf we have now."

"Nakamura-kun, I know you have worries," he looked at the frowning and silent Shuji Nakamura and said, "But we have already been forced into a corner."

"Just as Ninomiya-kun said, he doesn't consider you a friend at all, let alone respect the cooperation between the two sides. He is playing with fire."

"You are the ones playing with fire—"

Shuji Nakamura had completely calmed down. He could not see the success and joy after getting rid of Li Xuewu; in his mind, there was only the terror and crisis of the collapse of the Sanhe Corporation building.

Looking at the fanaticism and hostility in the eyes of his two partners, he only felt that the hard work and efforts of the past few years were about to be destroyed at this moment.

"We are our own people," Kazuya Ninomiya emphasized, "You should stand with us."

"I don't need you to remind me, Ninomiya-kun. I am sitting right here now."

Nakamura looked at him and emphasized, "But I have to be responsible for Sanhe. I can clearly tell you that your choice is wrong."

"Nakamura-kun," Kenichi Nishida looked at him and said, "I must admit that this choice was not a momentary impulse."

Looking at Shuji Nakamura's surprised expression, he paused before explaining, "I already had this idea long before we came."

"It's just that after meeting him, I made the decision more firmly. You should be able to understand my mood."

He said very seriously, "Sanhe is also my enterprise. It is the electronic empire that the three of us created together. I don't want to watch it head toward destruction either."

"But he cannot stay any longer."

Kenichi Nishida looked at him very firmly and emphasized, "This meeting between Red Steel and Panasonic is the biggest challenge for Sanhe."

"If we really let him go back, it would be no different from letting a tiger return to the mountains. The future troubles would be endless."

"If you have any concerns," Kazuya Ninomiya looked at him and said, "Don't participate in this matter, just pretend you don't know."

He signaled to Kenichi Nishida and said, "Everything that follows will be borne by me and Nishida. Even if something happens, Sanhe can still be preserved by you."

"If something really happens!"

Nakamura stood up abruptly, looked at the two, gritted his teeth, and said, "Even if I were an immortal, I couldn't save Sanhe!"

"There are four negotiations that can be confirmed," on the morning of the sixth day of the industrial and trade enterprise visit to Japan, the three of Li Huai De arrived at the team's residence to hold the first meeting before the decisive battle.

As the commander responsible for organizing the negotiations, Gao Yaqin seriously reported the progress of the work over these days.

Each group had summarized the process, results, and progress of the negotiations, and she reported them one by one.

"According to what you said, Toyota is almost impossible, so count Honda in."

Gao Yaqin looked at Li Xuewu and nodded, then reported to Li Huai De, "Panasonic has finalized the final procurement agreement and the technology export agreement."

"The THK precision guide rail technology authorization is still under negotiation. The difficult point is whether the benefits of authorized production can be guaranteed."

She paused and emphasized, "We have already contacted Director Han, striving to get a guarantee from the Ministry of International Trade and Industry."

"The Toray Chemical side is being handled by President Bai of Beijing Chemical. He said the project progress is going quite smoothly."

"What does 'quite smoothly' mean?"

Li Huai De frowned and asked, "It's already the sixth day. They only have one chemical project, and they haven't negotiated it yet?"

"Ahem—" Li Xuewu coughed lightly and lowered his voice to remind him, "There is also a special project."

"What do you mean? You planned it?" Li Huai De glanced at him. Seeing him nod, he said knowingly, "Remind them, hurry up, there isn't much time left."

"Okay, then—" Gao Yaqin looked at the notebook in her hand, raised her head, and asked, "Are we still contacting Nippon Steel?"

"It's useless, give it up."

Li Xuewu thought for a while and explained to Old Li, "The other side doesn't look down on the domestic market, nor do they look down on our scrap metal."

"Their goal is very direct, which is to want the shares of Australian Iron, thereby realizing control over Australian iron ore."

"Hmm, then cross it out, don't talk about it."

Li Huai De waved his hand very readily and said, "It's already this time, whichever can be negotiated, negotiate it."

"Then let's arrange the signing ceremony with Panasonic first," Li Xuewu signaled to Gao Yaqin and said, "Director Li will set off for Osaka this afternoon and can still make it back tomorrow."

"Speed up," Li Huai De tapped the desktop with the pencil in his hand and reminded the two, "Director Han will speak at tomorrow's banquet. The signing results must be tallied up."

"I understand, striving to complete all battles before tomorrow daytime." Gao Yaqin nodded and said, "After the meeting ends in a while, I will go to THK to get the authorized production done first."

She looked at the notebook in her hand and continued, "Then I will go to Toray Chemical to join President Bai of Beijing Chemical, striving to get this project done tomorrow morning."

"I'll be responsible for the Honda project."

Li Xuewu thought for a while and said, "By the way, finalize the negotiation projects for Kyocera and Rohm."

"Negotiate if you can, if you can't, forget it." Li Huai De looked at the two and said, "This time the time is too tight and the coverage is too wide, it's really hard to do the work."

"With this time, the cooperation between the two sides can only be closer and more frequent in the future. We still have opportunities."

"Then listen to Director Li." Li Xuewu met Gao Yaqin's eyes and said, "Shall we set the deadline at 6:00 PM tomorrow?"

"Too late, earlier." Li Huai De spoke first and emphasized, "We must also leave everyone some time to go out and look around."

He looked at everyone in the conference room and said, "I have already asked Liu Bin to notify you. Issue the bonuses first."

"I don't care what you buy, but I want to emphasize three points of attention."

Li Huai De tapped the table with his finger and said, "First, do not violate organizational discipline. Buy what should be bought, don't buy what shouldn't be bought. Don't treat your future as a child's play."

"Second, buy what is appropriate, don't buy what isn't. The plane only has so much space, everyone's luggage is limited, don't make it like moving house, it's shameful and conspicuous."

"Third, it's not easy to come out once. Your wives and children are all missing you at home. Buy things, just buy things, don't mess with messy ghost things."

He especially emphasized the third point, "Also, don't just focus on buying for yourself, also think about your spouse and children at home."

"Everyone has worked hard this time. Let's set the deadline at 4:00 PM. If it works, sign it; if not, forget it."

After saying these things, he waved his hand, signaled to Li Xuewu and Gao Yaqin, and said, "That's it, let's act separately."

Everyone in the conference room stood up, watched the leaders leave, and then smiled and discussed what to go shopping for tomorrow afternoon.

Some said they wanted to buy clothes for their wives, some said they wanted to buy toys for their children, and others said they wanted to add something for themselves.

Finally, someone joked that it was fine to buy anything back, just don't buy a Japanese woman back!

Are Tokyo girls really as bad as Catherine said?

I don't know. Li Xuewu had been here for so many days, and the only girl he had dealt with was Yoshiko Oshima.

But Yoshiko Oshima couldn't be counted as a Tokyo girl. According to the city where her foster father lived, she should be an Osaka girl.

As for the others, the PR ladies encountered during the exchange activities, he had no feeling for that kind of professional skill.

Although it is said that feelings cannot work without money, money really cannot buy feelings. He had watched so many movies about 1314, and only when counting money were the girls sincere.

Li Xuewu had long been desensitized to this kind of girl. Not a single girl around him was with him purely because of money.

Of course, not having gone through the trials of love, he also had fewer troubles caused by greed.

Liu Bin's stupid act of taking risks with his own body was too low-end. Li Xuewu only felt it was shabby and teeth-grinding.

In this kind of activity, I don't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at them. Even the slightest disturbance would be observed and explored with a magnifying glass.

Let alone going out to find food himself, even if it was delivered to his door, Li Xuewu didn't care for it.

It is said that Japanese women are gentle and cute, serving their husbands like emperors. This is a misunderstanding.

Treating a husband like an emperor is because the husband can earn money to support the family, and they don't need to go out to work.

Moreover, the husband doesn't manage the household. The salary will be handed over to the spouse to be responsible for management. Japanese women are all good accountants.

They are proficient in housekeeping and diligent with their children. Whether they love their husbands or not is actually not important. They can even tolerate their husbands lingering among flowers.

A husband who is not lustful is incompetent. A husband who returns home early has no friends in the company. These are all manifestations of incompetence.

Going to drink flower wine is not equal to being lustful. They think it is a necessary social interaction for work. Drunkenness and returning late prove that the husband has the ability to be respected and trusted by seniors and juniors.

Everything is for money.

When the husband is young, he can earn money. After he gets old, there is retirement security, which is enough for them to spend their later years peacefully.

If you ask when Japanese women are the happiest, of course, it is when the husband dies as soon as he retires. They don't have to serve the husband, and they can enjoy the husband's pension. The younger ones can also find the second spring of life. It is truly incomparably happy.

Therefore, before coming, Catherine wanted to give Li Xuewu a vaccination, reminding him that Tokyo girls are the most realistic and the worst.

Li Xuewu never thought that he would encounter a certain Tokyo girl by chance, or develop an exciting and romantic journey in a foreign land.

From the moment he landed, he was busy spinning like a top. The two private social engagements were both for work.

So he didn't think about it, and he would only be surprised if he encountered it.

"Hi—"

Just as Li Xuewu sent off Li Huai De and Gao Yaqin, and after confirming the work for the next two days with Huang Zongfang, he walked out of the residence gate and saw a girl leaning on a sports car greeting him.

At first, he didn't pay attention. He had no acquaintances in Tokyo, so how could anyone greet him?

Just as Qi Yan opened the rear door of the Mercedes-Benz sedan and he was preparing to get in the car, the girl called his name.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Li Xuewu?" The girl stood up straight, looked over here, and asked with a smile, "Is your name supposed to be said like this?"

Li Xuewu turned his head and carefully sized up the other party. Rainbow-colored braids, young and beautiful navel-baring outfit, and miniskirt. He really didn't see that this was Nanaiko, the princess of the Matsumura family from that night.

"Why are you here?"

He looked around suspiciously. There was no commercial street nearby. What kind of chance encounter was this?

"Of course, I came to find you—"

Matsumura Nanaiko walked over with a charming gait. The small leather shoes on her feet went click-clack, knocking on the hearts of the men present.

Qi Yan, this Sigma man, decisively stood between the two and stared at the other party with a frown.

"Isn't this your secretary?"

Matsumura Nanaiko sized up Qi Yan amusedly, tilted her head, and asked Li Xuewu behind him, "And also doubles as a bodyguard?"

"He is my driver." Li Xuewu explained, reached out and patted Qi Yan on the shoulder, and introduced, "This is the granddaughter of Mr. Matsumura Kenzo, don't be nervous."

"Haha—" Matsumura Nanaiko glanced amusedly at Qi Yan who was frowning and sizing her up, took a step around to Li Xuewu, and asked, "Why did you just come out? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"I don't seem to remember that we had an appointment in advance," Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and asked, "How did you know I was here?"

"Wanting to know where you are, this matter isn't difficult, right?"

Nanaiko took off the fashionable sunglasses on her face and stuck them in the cleavage of her chest, making others feel hot just looking at it.

"I want to chat with you."

"With me? Chat?" Li Xuewu felt even more surprised. He looked at her and asked, "Are you sure? Now?"

"Of course it's now. Can I wait for you until midnight?" Matsumura Nanaiko seemed to have caught a reason. She glared at him and said, "Are you a workaholic? You stay up so late every day before resting."

Li Xuewu couldn't say anything anymore. How could this be said? Was he being monitored?

But thinking about it, it was normal. Unlike that trip to East Germany, today, the Red Steel Group had already become the recognized pioneer of reform for domestic industrial enterprises.

With such an identity, going abroad again would definitely attract more attention, including their activities during this period.

"I'm sorry, I still have things to do."

Li Xuewu didn't want to chat with her because he didn't know what they had to chat about.

"How about you wait for my call?"

One was the precious granddaughter of Matsumura Kenzo, and the other was the secretary-general of the Red Steel Group. Where would there be a common topic between the two?

"Do you have my phone number?" Matsumura Nanaiko rolled her eyes at him and said, "If you want to brush me off, find a suitable reason, okay?"

"I'm sorry, I'm really busy."

Li Xuewu smiled, signaled toward the direction of the Plaza Hotel, and said, "Will your grandfather come to attend the banquet tomorrow night? You can come to find me then."

"Then?" Matsumura Nanaiko sized him up meaningfully and said, "I'm just afraid I won't be able to see you by then."

Li Xuewu raised an eyebrow, heard the hidden meaning in her words, looked at her quietly, and waited for the rest.

Matsumura Nanaiko, however, lost her patience and asked, "Where are you going? I can tell you in the car."

Seeing her so persistent, Li Xuewu raised his chin and explained, "I have an appointment with Honda's executive director."

"Kawai Yoshiyoshi?" Matsumura Nanaiko curled her lips and said, "What decision can he make? Meeting him is purely a waste of time. It's better to go drink coffee with me."

"Don't you know?" Li Xuewu said amusedly, "I don't drink coffee."

"I knew it would be like this—"

Matsumura Nanaiko rolled her eyes and said, "They also said you are cautious and careful, and don't drink things randomly."

"It seems I have a lot of people paying attention to me?"

Li Xuewu smiled, raised his hand to signal the Mercedes-Benz sedan, and asked, "Are you coming with me to Honda?"

"Unless you are willing to go to the cafe with me."

Matsumura Nanaiko threw the car keys in her hand to Qi Yan and said, "You drive my car, follow."

After saying that, she drilled into the back seat of the Mercedes-Benz. Seeing Li Xuewu come in, she didn't forget to tease him, "You still know how to enjoy yourself."

"He hasn't driven a right-hand drive car, and he doesn't have a Japanese driver's license. How can he drive your car?"

Li Xuewu signaled outside the car window and asked, "Do you want to call someone to help you park it here?"

"I still need to use the car—"

Matsumura Nanaiko rolled down the car window, poked her head out, and said to Qi Yan who was standing there, "Just drive, if something happens, it's on me."

After saying that, regardless of whether Qi Yan could drive or not, she shrank back, reached out and patted the driver on the shoulder, and said in English, "You go kill him."

The driver was stunned, looked at her suspiciously, and asked, "Excuse me, what did you say?"

Matsumura Nanaiko said it again in English, but the driver still frowned and indicated he didn't understand.

"Hmm, I'm relieved that you don't understand."

She let out a long breath and said to the driver in Japanese, "I mean you can drive now."

The driver then understood, pursed his lips, didn't speak, but looked at Li Xuewu.

He was not the driver of the Red Steel Group, but temporarily hired. This car did not have a fixed driver.

Why did the driver have to be changed every day?

Because of fear of leaking secrets, such a driver caught randomly, although the price was higher, was completely not afraid of being bought off.

Li Xuewu nodded slowly, signaling the driver that it was okay. The driver then turned around and started the car.

The car was the Red Steel Group's, and the money was also given by the Red Steel Group. Why should he listen to a little girl who just got in the car?

In the driver's eyes, this girl's outfit and image were completely mismatched with this car.

How could a business sedan have this kind of passenger!

"You'd better know English," Matsumura Nanaiko saw the car start, turned her head, and said to Li Xuewu in English, "My Chinese is very average."

"It's okay, Chinese is relatively difficult to learn."

Li Xuewu sized her up and asked, "Can you tell me the purpose of your coming to find me today now?"

"Men are always very impatient, without any patience."

Matsumura Nanaiko seemed to have seen through the nature of men in the world. After sighing, she raised her head and said, "You are going to die."

"How will I die?" Li Xuewu had already gotten used to the jumping of this girl's thinking. Although it sounded very ridiculous, he still asked, "Did you kill me, or did he kill me?"

When he said this, he also raised his chin and signaled the driver who was driving.

"I'm not joking with you." Matsumura Nanaiko frowned and emphasized, "Don't you know who you've offended?"

"Anyway, I didn't offend you."

Li Xuewu leaned slightly to the side. The scent on this girl was very good, it should be very expensive perfume.

Studying abroad in the United States, everything that should be learned should have been learned, and naturally, there was this perfume culture.

Japanese society and culture are somewhat deformed, but Northeast Asian countries regard the United States as a representative of advancement.

Anyone who has watched Crayon Shin-chan knows that Kazama often shows off things related to the United States to prove that he is very high-class.

Matsumura Nanaiko naturally also had this temperament. She didn't look like a Japanese person at all, and her personality was very free and easy.

The image she had at that banquet that night was definitely faked, faked for her grandfather to see.

Looking at the style of the fashionable little sister now, if her grandfather saw it, he would definitely ascend to heaven.

"You didn't offend me, but you're almost there—"

Nanaiko rolled her eyes and said, "Why don't you believe what I say?"

"I actually wanted to believe it," Li Xuewu said amusedly, "Give me a reason, then."

"Kenichi Nishida hates you," Nanaiko looked at him and said seriously, "He hates you to death, so you are going to die."

"Hehe—" Li Xuewu asked amusedly, "Is he the God of Death? If he wants me to die, I have to die?"

"He will manufacture an accident to keep you in Japan forever." Nanaiko raised her eyebrows and said, "In other words, I'm in the car with you, and there is danger at any time."

"Then you still dare to get on," Li Xuewu curled his lips and asked, "Aren't you afraid of an accident?"

"Afraid! Why wouldn't I be afraid!" Nanaiko sighed and said, "But I'm also afraid that you'll really die."

"Oh? Is that so?" Li Xuewu looked at her and asked, "Are you that concerned about me?"

"Don't be narcissistic, who is concerned about you!"

Nanaiko glanced at him and said, "Although you are only three years older than me, in my eyes, you are already an uncle."

"Hehehe—" Li Xuewu said with a light laugh, "I wouldn't even mind if you called me grandpa."

"I found that you really have guts!"

Nanaiko narrowed her eyes and looked at him, saying, "Otherwise, it's that you don't believe my words at all."

"I believe you, Miss Matsumura."

Li Xuewu looked into her eyes and said seriously, "You said Kenichi Nishida wants to be unfavorable to me. I completely believe he will do such a thing."

"Then you still—" Matsumura Nanaiko said somewhat anxiously, "From now on, your time is very dangerous."

"Do you know why I'm not afraid of him?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Because I saw his wolfish ambition long ago and have been guarding against him."

"And then?" Nanaiko asked, "You knew about this long ago, or you aren't interested in my news?"

"You are wrong again," Li Xuewu explained helplessly, "Before hearing your news, I was just preventing and guessing."

"Then you should take action."

Matsumura Nanaiko reminded him, "Now you return to the Plaza Hotel, and you can only relax your vigilance until you fly back to China."

"Accidents can happen at any time. I cannot sit here and wait for death."

Li Xuewu nodded slowly and said, "I still have to thank you for bringing me such important news. It's just that I don't know how to thank you."

"If you really want to thank me," Matsumura Nanaiko sized him up for a long while before saying, "Then help me get the Sanhe Corporation."

"Hmm?" Li Xuewu didn't expect there to be a reversal here. He looked at her suspiciously and asked, "What do you mean? You want the Sanhe Corporation?"

"Yes, did you meet the three of them last night?"

Matsumura Nanaiko explained very straightforwardly, "Kazuya Ninomiya and Kenichi Nishida decided to take action against you, but Nakamura doesn't want to."

"So this news was told to you by Nakamura?" Li Xuewu looked at her and asked, "He said he wants to give the Sanhe Corporation to you?"

"Because he is afraid, afraid of you."

Matsumura Nanaiko observed his complexion and said, "He doesn't think Nishida and the other can succeed, but instead determined that they will fail."

"Once the plan fails, you definitely won't let them go, won't let the Sanhe Corporation go."

"Is he placing bets on both sides?" Li Xuewu asked with a somewhat strange complexion, "Or is it the way out Kenichi Nishida left for himself?"

"If you still believe me," Matsumura Nanaiko said, "This matter has nothing to do with Nishida and the other two anymore."

She is indeed a child cultivated by a big family. Even if she wasn't cultivated as the head of the family, a woman is also very powerful.

"Is this Nakamura's idea?" Li Xuewu asked curiously, "What conditions did he propose?"

"What he told me was that he didn't want to watch Sanhe be destroyed, so he came up with this desperate move," Nanaiko explained, "He wants me to serve as a new shareholder of Sanhe, to persuade you not to destroy Sanhe, and we can continue to cooperate."

"He is really thinking beautifully—"

Li Xuewu said amusedly, "Thinking of finding a backer, so that he can preserve Sanhe?"

"So I brought more generous conditions." Nanaiko didn't care that her miniskirt was too short, and the absolute territory was displayed in front of Li Xuewu without reservation.

She took out a document from her backpack and handed it to Li Xuewu, saying, "This is the latest cooperation agreement, and also the shareholder framework of the new Sanhe."

Li Xuewu took it and looked at it, but discovered the name of the Red Steel Group among the shareholder representatives.

"Sanhe is still a three-party shareholder."

Nanaiko explained confidently, "You also can't refuse to intervene in Sanhe's electronic empire, right?"

"It's not even as good as Panasonic, and this is already an electronic empire?"

He shook his head amusedly and said, "It looks like the conditions are good, but in reality, you can't handle Nishida and the other two, can you?"

"So we need to cooperate!"

Nanaiko said seriously, "They want to put you to death, then you have the qualifications and conditions to fight back."

"They want to kill you, then you can kill them."

She seemed not afraid of death at all, and even defined destruction as illegal means in business competition.

Li Xuewu looked at her somewhat speechlessly, not knowing where this girl's courage came from. Could it be that the Matsumura family also teaches these things?

"Are you afraid?" Nanaiko looked at him and said, "If you are afraid, don't run around, it's fine to go back early."

"Who taught you these?"

Li Xuewu narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Is it your grandfather, or your parents?"

"What do you mean?" Nanaiko frowned and asked, "Are you doubting my upbringing?"

"No, I am shocked by your ambition."

Li Xuewu scanned her up and down and said, "You haven't even graduated yet, and you are so anxious to come out and find things to do?"

"This is a bargain picked up for nothing!"

Matsumura Nanaiko emphasized, "Nakamura was crying and snotting in front of grandfather, I couldn't just watch and do nothing, right?"

"Oh—I said so—"

Li Xuewu nodded knowingly and said, "Kenichi Nishida is your grandfather's student, how could he have no scruples."

"Pah—" Nanaiko said disdainfully, "Saying he is a student, in reality, my grandfather doesn't even acknowledge having this apprentice. He is the one who insisted on acknowledging it."

"He was also betting on my grandfather back then, so he is just a speculative businessman."

She folded her arms and said, "If he were my grandfather's apprentice, where would they have their current predicament, being forced into a dead end by you."

"I didn't force them," Li Xuewu emphasized, "This is just normal business cooperation."

"I understand, I understand, that set of deceitful tricks—"

Matsumura Nanaiko waved her hand and said, "I have already agreed with my grandfather that I will graduate this semester, and then I will go to China to study abroad."

She nodded very seriously and said, "I will study your culture. Grandfather said your culture is even better than the Americans'."

Li Xuewu did not doubt whether Nanaiko could enter the mainland to study abroad at this point in time. After all, this was not a girl from an ordinary family.

Matsumura Kenzo's influence in Japan was not low, and he also had a very good relationship foundation in the country. His granddaughter going to China to study abroad was not just a simple study abroad, but a kind of mutual benefit and mutual trust exchange.

"So don't worry, with me here, Sanhe won't be like this anymore, making things difficult for you everywhere."

She said with a smile, "I only want cooperation, I only want to make money."

"Then have you ever thought that after the Red Steel Group becomes a shareholder of Sanhe, there is a danger of being kicked out by you together?"

Li Xuewu said indifferently, "After all, Sanhe is a Japanese enterprise."

"Do you really think so?"

Matsumura Nanaiko curled her lips and said, "Without a factory, and even R&D is prepared to move to your place, what is left of Sanhe in Japan?"

"With you mastering R&D and production, do you really care which country Sanhe belongs to?"

This girl is not stupid, she seems to see everything clearly.

Li Xuewu didn't speak, looked at her for a long while, and then said, "Is this your grandfather's meaning?"

"No, it has nothing to do with my grandfather."

Matsumura Nanaiko explained, "He just hopes that I can achieve a better self."

"You don't have to think too much. My grandfather's health is getting worse day by day. We all know he is going to leave."

She took a deep breath before continuing, "I did this, also to protect myself."

"Honda is here," Li Xuewu didn't give an answer, but signaled the direction of the gate and said, "Do you want to come with me to see Kawai?"

"That loser, I don't want to see him." Nanaiko signaled ahead and said, "I'll drive back in a while, just be prepared."

The car stopped steadily on the platform. Reception staff came over to open the car door. Kawai Yoshiyoshi thought it was Li Xuewu sitting here, but didn't expect a young and beautiful girl to get off the car.

"Ah—" He recognized Matsumura Nanaiko at a glance, "Nanaiko, why are you in..."

"Just take care of yourself," Nanaiko waved her hand after getting off the car and walked toward her own car, "Bye-bye, waiting for your news."

Qi Yan got off the car, and after getting Li Xuewu's nod, returned the car keys to Nanaiko.

Everyone on the platform watched her drive away gracefully, and then they came back to their senses.

"I didn't expect, you and Nanaiko..."

"Do you believe me if I say I don't know her?"

Li Xuewu looked at Kawai Yoshiyoshi helplessly and said, "I don't even know anything about her."

"Hehe—" Kawai Yoshiyoshi looked at him somewhat strangely, his face full of disbelief.

Lying to a ghost?

Two people sitting in the back seat of the car, the front passenger seat empty, and you say you don't know her now?

"It doesn't matter, I know her father." Kawai Yoshiyoshi explained with a smile, "I'll tell her father later to teach her a lesson."

"She didn't tell me about this."

Li Xuewu shook his head slightly. After shaking hands with Kawai Yoshiyoshi, they walked into the Honda headquarters building together, saying as they walked, "I only know her grandfather."

"That is my teacher," Kawai Yoshiyoshi smiled and said, "Not the kind that is recognized randomly, but a real master-apprentice relationship."

Seeming to see the suspicion in Li Xuewu's eyes, he said with a wry smile, "Teacher has great influence in Japan, so many people take the initiative to acknowledge him as a teacher."

"In reality, teacher has never taught them anything, and might not even remember them."

"No wonder Miss Nanaiko is so... to you," Li Xuewu wanted to say impolite, but paused at the tip of his tongue and said, "Close."

"Hahahaha—"

Kawai Yoshiyoshi got on the elevator with Li Xuewu and asked with a smile, "How did she evaluate me? She knows you came to see me, right?"

"Hehe—" Li Xuewu said with a light laugh, "It's better if you don't know."

"Uh—" Kawai Yoshiyoshi narrowed the relationship with Li Xuewu because of Nanaiko, but was still choked by him.

"How did she evaluate me?"

"She said you are a big loser."

Li Xuewu curled his lips. Seeing Kawai Yoshiyoshi's face turn red with anger, he spread his hands and explained, "This is what she said, believe it or not."

"That must be her—"

Kawai Yoshiyoshi sighed helplessly and said, "She even suggested I compete for vice president back then."

"Hmm, indeed a very lively girl."

Seeing him say this, Li Xuewu nodded with a smile and said, "She doesn't make people feel annoyed when they see her."

"Between you two..." Kawai Yoshiyoshi couldn't help but ask before walking out of the elevator.

Li Xuewu smiled, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Do you believe me if I say it's thieves colluding with each other?" ===== CHAPTER 1697 =====
