Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 165 Arriving in Japan
Li You led Yoon Hyun-woo in front, while the translator and Zheng Zaizhong followed closely behind. Further behind them were some team members who were disguised but were obviously not ordinary people.

The four of them left the VIP channel with other passengers, while others had to take the ordinary channel. As they walked, they saw the person who greeted them at the airport holding up a large sign in Korean that read "Welcome Li Youxi"

Li You walked over there. The lights in the hall were bright, reflecting on the banner. The man in a suit holding the sign saw them and confirmed their identities after looking at them carefully.

The representative who came to greet them came forward, and just as the translator was about to step forward, he was discouraged by the Korean voice with a Seoul accent.

"Li Youxi, welcome to Osaka."

"Are you from Seoul?" Li You was not surprised. After all, Li Mingyi couldn't come to Japan alone to develop. He had to bring some trusted people with him.

"Yes," the man bowed with a respectful smile, "I am Li Zongliang, the secretary who follows the president. I have been in Japan for more than 20 years."

Li You nodded at him, knowing that this should also be a Jeonju Li family, so he extended his hand to him, "Thank you Secretary Li for taking care of me during this period in Japan."

Li Zongliang responded with a smile, "Li Youxi, please follow me. Our president has arranged the best hotel in Osaka for you. I will take you there first and then go to see our president."

Li You apologized, "I still have some employees who need to use the normal passage. It will take some time."

Li Zongliang glanced at Li You with some surprise. He thought Li You only brought the tall and strong bodyguard behind him, but he didn't expect there was someone else.

He could naturally understand some of the implicit messages Li You was conveying. Doing business or meeting relatives certainly didn't require so many people. Thinking about the fact that his president needed Li You's help, he couldn't help but smile brighter.

"Then I'll take you to get your luggage first."

Li Zongliang led the way, "The luggage of first-class passengers will be delivered to the hotel by the airport's exclusive staff. Ordinary passengers can also pay to use this service."

The service staff met along the way spoke Japanese. Although Li You didn't understand, he could understand it by the way they kept bowing deeply.

"Can Li Youxi speak English?" Li Zongliang asked with a smile.

"know a bit."

Since the establishment of Kinmen, Li You, who sometimes needs to contact foreign companies, has been learning English continuously.

His strong body has driven the development of part of his brain. Although he doesn't have a super brain like Superman, he learns things much faster.

Besides, his body wasn't strong enough for his brain to tell him to use his super powers.

"That's even better," Li Zongliang smiled even more broadly, "Li Youxi can use English in most places in Osaka."

The translator behind me had a sad face and felt that he was not far from losing his job.

Li Zongliang looked at the reception desk in front of him, gestured to Li You with a smile, then turned around, put on a stern face and walked forward, chattering a lot with the receptionist.

The group watched him communicating there. The Japanese man in charge of checking in the luggage nodded and bowed to Li Zongliang with a smile on his face, and handed him a sign marked with one.

It happened that the people brought by Li You also arrived here. After Li Zongliang had made all the arrangements, he came back to Li You.

"Everything is arranged, Li Youxi."

He counted the people Li You brought with him and nodded, "The car is already parked outside, please follow me. I just asked the airport staff for a bus, and the accompanying employees can also sit."

Li You nodded slightly, the other party did the right thing.

Outside the airport, he and Li Zongliang got into a black car. Li Zongliang turned around from the passenger seat with a smile on his face.

"It's still some distance to the hotel. I can introduce some things to Li Youxi along the way. Is there anything Li Youxi wants to know first?"

Li You smiled calmly, "I know some things about my great uncle, and I have also heard some rumors about my aunt. Now that I am about to visit my great uncle and aunt, I naturally have to understand their preferences and taboos first."

Li Zongliang looked at Li You with satisfaction in his heart, "Chairman Nim, Li Youxi's great uncle, met my wife who was studying in South Korea thirty years ago. The two were college classmates.

The wife's real name is Nakayama Yuki. After the two of them finished their college years, President Nim returned to Japan with her and got married. "

"President Nim has never been shy about telling others anything, so I can be frank with you." Li Zongliang took a look at Li You, "Madam's family is a very prestigious family in Osaka, and the elders do not want Madam to marry to Korea.

Although the wife was willing to leave Japan and settle in South Korea with the president, in order to gain the approval of the elders in the wife's family, the president chose to marry into the family, so...the president's name in Japan is Nakayama Akiyoshi.

However, as the president founded Mingshan, the business grew bigger and bigger, and most of the elders at that time had passed away, no one dared to continue to call him the president. "

Mingshan is the name of Li Mingyi Group, which should be called Mingshan Co., Ltd. in Japan.

Seeing that Li You's expression remained unchanged, Li Zongliang sighed, "Because of this incident, the previous two chairmen of the Lihua Club did not remove the president, but they have always disliked the president."

"It just so happens that Chairman Li Zeyi is the president's cousin, which has helped ease the relationship with the Jeonju Li family."

He hinted, "Perhaps Li Youxi is the key figure in the reconciliation between the chairman and the Jeonju Lee family."

Li You finally understood the whole story. No wonder, as an outstanding figure of the Jeonju Li family, Li You had not yet seen Li Mingyi's portrait in the Hall of Celebrities of the Lihua Hall.

A Korean royal family who married into a Japanese family is so shameful no matter how you think about it
"The president is old," Li Zongliang said with a somewhat depressed look, "People always have to return to their roots.
However, since both of the president’s children were born in Japan, and the president was weak when they were born, not only are they Japanese nationals, but their surnames are not even Li.”

"The president hopes to help you." Li Zongliang smiled bitterly, "Li Youxi, I hope you can help the president this time."

He sighed, "I said too much."

Li Zongliang returned to the topic, "As for the taboos, the president and his wife have no taboos, Li Youxi can just meet the president with a normal mind."

"The president likes tea culture very much. Does Li Youxi know anything about tea?"

“Drink, but don’t study.”

Li You said it very straightforwardly, and Li Zongliang understood it. He smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. The president won't keep asking Li Youxi to drink tea when he comes to Osaka." "As for Madam." Li Zongliang looked at Li You for a few times and coughed. "Li Youxi is handsome and upright. Madam will like you as a junior."

Li You was stunned for a moment.

"Don't think too much," Li Zongliang clapped his hands, "Madam is a master of flower arrangement and always likes beautiful things. Of course, Li Youxi must pay attention to etiquette in front of Madam, and Madam also attaches great importance to this."

"As for the rest," Li Zongliang smiled happily, "it's just to introduce the city of Osaka to Li Youxi."

"Osaka is the earliest city in Japan to develop commerce and trade. It is also home to many Japanese manufacturing company headquarters and university campuses. It is also the central city of western Japan."

"I remember that the Kinmen Group that Li Youxi works for has a subsidiary called Kinmen Trading, right?"

He watched Li You nod before continuing.

"Osaka is still considered the trading capital of Japan at this stage, with a well-developed logistics industry. The president also has many trading companies under his control. If Li Youxi can make the decision in the future, he can cooperate with the president in this regard."

The place booked for Li You and his friends is said to be the best hotel in Osaka. The meeting is also arranged for dinner, and they can also rest in the hotel for an afternoon.

He did hear something from Li Zongliang. Part of the shares of this hotel were in the hands of Li Mingyi, so with the help of Li Mingyi, the hotel was getting better and better.

Li You's room is located on the top floor. In addition to everything that a hotel has, this hotel is also equipped with a low tatami mat, which has a Japanese style.

Li You has also done some research these days, but he knows very little about Li Mingyi and what he could find out is very little.

All we know is that he has a huge reputation in Osaka, and many people don't even care about his Korean ancestry, and some even claim that his soul is a pure Japanese. As for Li Mingyi, he probably doesn't think so.

Li You didn't believe that such a person would help him just because he wanted to return to his roots.

Li Mingyi must be asking for something.

It was completely reasonable for him to do business with his Korean counterparts, because Li Mingyi was of Korean descent after all.

But if Li Mingyi wanted him to do something beyond his remuneration, they would end up parting on bad terms.

Before I could finish my thought, the doorbell rang.

Li You went over to open the door and saw Li Zongliang standing at the door with a smile on his face: "Is it okay to disturb Li Youxi?"

He saw Li You shaking his head and said, "We will send someone to pick up Li Youxi in the evening."

He thought for a moment, "Li Youxi should be the only one who can sit with the president. Li Youxi can let the others wait outside. There will be a special place for servants to eat."

Li You nodded, and it was okay. Li Zongliang continued, "Li Youxi, you can walk around the area in the afternoon and appreciate the local customs and culture of Osaka."

Before leaving, he bowed slightly to Li You and asked, "Li Youxi, are you interested in singing and dancing?"

"Song and dance?"

"The president will entertain Li Youxi at the best Japanese restaurant in Osaka in the evening. The singing and dancing performances in this restaurant are also excellent."

Li Zongliang patted his shoulder cheerfully and said, "Osaka is the birthplace of Japanese Kabuki. Li Youxi can enjoy it when the time comes."

After he left, Li You called Zheng Zaizhong and explained the matter to him.

He brought too many people this time. More than 20 people traveling together in a group would easily attract unnecessary attention. Moreover, the new world would easily dazzle these rough guys, so he had to take precautions first.

"Zhong, I'll leave the translation to you. You pick an assistant." Li You looked at the scenery of Osaka outside the window. "Make sure they stay in the hotel and make sure they can come when I need them."

"There are a lot of Japanese sex shops here. When this is over, I can allow them to go and even pay for them to have fun for a while, but not now."

Zheng Zhong was stunned and felt a surge of emotions. He was not an honest man.

"I'll listen to President Nim's arrangements..." Zheng Zaizhong thought carefully, "Then how many people will President Nim bring this time?"

"Two cars and six people are enough. The rest of the people are ready to take my orders at any time."

"Yes, President Nim."

After he left, Li You looked at Osaka outside the window for a while, then pulled the curtains, vaguely feeling that this trip to Japan might not be that simple.

Li You took a deep breath. He had only briefly mentioned a few words to Li Youmo before about what Li Mingyi had said to him.

In fact, Li Mingyi promised to give him much more than those things.

With connections and channels on the Korean Peninsula, Li You is not in a hurry to come to Japan just for this kind of thing.

What’s more important is what Li Mingyi said, that several of his branches in South Korea are willing to help Kinmen Real Estate with the construction free of charge.

You should know that even if the World Cup New Town is not included, Kinmen Real Estate is currently carrying out two phases of construction, with a total of six communities, all of which need to be constructed in batches.

After all, there are limited workers, and the cost of recruiting more is too high.

The two phases of six communities in Kinmen were originally estimated to take one and a half years to complete. If help is available, the construction period can even be shortened to six months.

Time is money, but free time is the most expensive.

If Li You and others need to use their strength, Li You would be willing to do so. He hasn't exercised for a long time.

But if it is something else excessive, then I don’t know who to use the force against.
