Already familiar with the road, there is no sense of freshness anymore.
He originally thought he would stay in a hotel, but unexpectedly, Nong Qingying took him to a villa near Ginza in a black Rolls-Royce Silver Spur.
Su Yehao looked at the luxury car parked in the garage, then at the three-story building facing the street, and asked Nong Qingying:
"Are you planning to leave? You actually bought a car here and settled down quietly. The house prices nearby are a bit expensive, right?"
"It's not bad. I heard that a few years ago the asking price was 16 million U.S. dollars, but it never sold. Last year, I found a designer to renovate it, and I bought it for 4.17 million U.S. dollars. The seller
I immigrated to California, USA, and the housing prices in Japan have plummeted just as the newspapers said."
Nong Qingying smiled happily and added:
"I bought a house with a loan. Others may think it's too lively here, but I really like it. It's very close to food and entertainment. You can go shopping in the mall if you take a walk in the evening. Unfortunately, it's a bit far from the company. I will move the SK2 headquarters here when the time comes.
It's nearby. It's like advertising. You asked me to come over and take charge of the business. I can't move the company back to Hong Kong City. To be honest, being the boss here... is quite cool. I'll take you to experience it later.
.”
Just a few streets away from the center of Ginza.
The price is really cheap for a house with an area of nearly 300 square meters and a basement.
Nong Qingying is now a little rich woman, and with Su Yehao's support, she didn't spend any money on acquiring SK2. She can buy a house or a car and pay a down payment easily, without any pressure.
Su Yehao went in and finished the visit.
The decoration style is a bit light and luxurious, with black floor tiles, golden lines, and crystal and copper chandeliers. It is indeed Nong Qingying's favorite style.
Sit and relax at the tea table with beautiful flowers in the vase.
He held the tea cup and blew a few sips. It was too hot to drink. After putting down the cup, Su Yehao asked again: "Seeing as you plan to live here often, is the company's situation okay?"
"It's okay. You took out a loan before you left. I will arrange to renovate the factory and open counters in Hong Kong and South Korea. I will be very busy every day."
When the topic changed, Nong Qingying said with a smile: "In Ginza, there are many beautiful girls every night, and there are signs of various clubs as far as the eye can see. How many drinks will I take you to have in the evening?"
"Um?"
Su Yehao was interested, but he was afraid of pitfalls and didn't dare to speak rashly.
Nong Qingying saw his vigilance and continued: "I'm just a little curious. Many big business deals in Tokyo are negotiated in places like that. I want to know what it's like inside. It feels too strange for me to go there by myself as a woman."
A little bit."
"...But it's weird if I take you there, okay?"
Su Yehao had been on a plane for more than ten hours. At this time, he asked her to help him squeeze his shoulders and asked curiously: "You just mentioned that being a boss is very cool. What do you mean?"
"Well... wait until you go to the headquarters and feel it for yourself."
Nong Qingying kept it secret and didn't say it clearly.
After a short rest, Su Yehao accompanied her out and headed to the SK2 headquarters together.
Today, this company is located in Shibuya District. The headquarters is only responsible for planning, marketing, etc., with more than 50 employees. The factory that produces skin care products is not in Tokyo, and the total number of employees is only over 100.
When the two of them appeared in the company, people bowed and said hello along the way. Everyone was so respectful.
Holding Su Yehao's arm, Nong Qingying laughed softly:
"You see, I am the queen in the company. After a period of real contact, I discovered that Japan's corporate culture is very special. When you are the boss, you feel like you can cover the sky with one hand. It is like a pyramid, with clear layers and very clear layers.
Pay attention to the status difference between superiors and subordinates."
When she finished speaking, Su Yehao was speechless and asked in a low voice: "Don't you have any special hobbies and like to bully others?"
"...I admit, it's really comfortable. Unfortunately, I don't understand Japanese, so I can only talk to the employees who can speak English, and their accents are a bit strange, which is sometimes troublesome."
We went directly to Nong Qingying's office, which was not very large.
After closing the blinds, Su Yehao found a comfortable position, lazily put his legs on the desk, and told:
"I have discovered before that the employees in Hong Kong City are too laid-back, and the employees in the United States are too free. In Japan, they can often stay at the same job until they are old. As long as they are not bullied, few people will change jobs. It is indeed suitable.
Doing business.”
"Yes, last time I visited the factory, I improved the working environment for the workers and arranged a 10% salary increase. Some people were so happy that they almost knelt down and praised me as a good boss."
"...You can do whatever you want. It doesn't matter if you live in Tokyo all the time. Anyway, it's only a few hours' flight away and I don't have the problem of jet lag. I can come and see you often."
On the surface, it is to support Nong Qingying's career, but actually he has other small thoughts.
Recently, Jiang Yu has been around again. If Nong Qingying can save him some time, he won't have to run around so busy on weekdays.
Among the girls around Su Yehao, she is the only one who is more ambitious.
Support her along the way, both parties will be happy, how nice...
After simply reading the revenue data for the past two months and the reports in English, Su Yehao still felt overwhelmed.
Not long after I took over, the growth in performance was very small, but the expenses skyrocketed. I spent more than 40 million Hong Kong dollars in two months, most of which was due to opening a flagship store on the Bund.
In the expansion stage, money is inevitably needed.
Comparing it with his own business, Nong Qingying has already saved money here.
For now, just follow the pre-discussed plan. The number of stores has just started to increase, so even if you advertise, it may not have much effect.
I found several SK2 executives and had a brief chat for more than ten minutes accompanied by an interpreter.
really.
Everyone was respectful and their English accent sounded strange.
Su Yehao had been "busy" in Silicon Valley for so long that he was not interested in business for the time being. He quickly left the company and took a car for more than 20 minutes to find a place in Ginza to fill his stomach.
Beef curry rice, plus tempura and oden, paired with a piece of charcoal-grilled saury.
Before it got dark, Su Yehao took Nong Qingying back to her house. He was so tired that he didn't rest until the evening, and continued to go out to find a place to drink.
As for the clubs opened by mamasangs, Su Yehao had no connections and a language barrier, especially with Nong Qingying, so Su Yehao couldn't be interested at all.
We went shopping and took a walk, each talking about the current situation.
What Nong Qingying needs to do now is to increase the number of SK2 stores, expand the product line, and develop products that are easier to sell, laying a solid foundation for large-scale marketing in the future.
It’s hard to say how difficult it is, but without the support of Procter & Gamble, revenue data may drop in the next few months.
Su Yehao didn't have any good advice for her. In this kind of physical business, you won't become fat in one bite. It takes a while to accumulate.
With a travel mentality, I went to Shinjuku that night to continue eating street food.
When they returned to the villa near Ginza, they were pestered by Nong Qingying at night and had no intention of letting him go easily...
