Tokyo: Starting with taking on his wife's debts

On the stock market monitor, the Nikkei 225 index is at 24650 points.

It has reached its lowest point.

At this moment, Tachibana works at Sanyo Securities, Okamoto works at Nomura Securities, and Hashimoto works at Yamaichi Securities.

A crowd gathered behind the three traders, their eyes filled with shock, elation, envy, jealousy, and stunned disbelief...

The three traders trembled with excitement as they looked at the 9000 million yen profit on their computer screens.

Without prior arrangement, they all eagerly called Xiuming to share the good news.

Of course, thanks to the influence of love, Tachibana reacted the fastest, as Okamoto and Hashimoto's phones were busy.

“Hideaki-kun… I, I did it, um, congratulations, you’re amazing… We made 90 million yen… oh no, you made 90 million yen… I, I admire you so much…” Tachibana was so excited that she couldn’t speak coherently.

In the living room, because Ayako was clinging to Hideaki, he had to hold her while answering the phone. Because he was mentally prepared, he remained calm even though he had made a fortune of 90 million yen, after all, it was three 90 million yen portions.

"Tachibana-chan is amazing. Without your precise sniping, I wouldn't have been able to earn so much money. Let's take a break today! We'll continue tomorrow."

Ayako was tilting her head to listen to the phone, rubbing her rosy cheeks against Hideaki's face.

"Um... Hideaki-kun... do you... do you have time this afternoon?"

Tachibana gripped the microphone tightly. Beside her stood her bald team leader, clutching movie tickets and gesturing wildly at her. "I, um, our company gave out two Disney tickets... you know... that..."

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I need to register a company this afternoon. Maybe next time! I'll treat you next time."

Beep beep—the dial tone of a telephone line.

“Well… okay then…” Tachibana said into the dial tone.

"How is it? How is it? Did you agree?" The bald team leader's eyes were full of anticipation. Anyway, Tachibana was also interested in that rich man, so why not go with the flow and secure a big client with minimal cost? That would be fantastic.

"No..." Tachibana slumped into the chair.

I was so shy and excited just now, and I was even worried that things were moving too fast and he might suddenly agree. What if he tried to touch me inappropriately at the amusement park, and I couldn't bear to refuse? I feel like an idiot…

"Sigh!" The bald team leader shook his head and sighed. "It's understandable, isn't it? After all, a big shot like him with money is definitely very career-driven, and he certainly won't lack women. Tachibana-chan, you need to work harder. Also, I need to prepare other methods..."

Tachibana thought for a moment... When she was on the phone just now, she felt that Hideaki-kun's tone was strange. Could it be that he really has another woman?

At this moment, at Ayako's villa.

Just as Hideaki hung up the phone with Tachibana, Okamoto and Hashimoto called to share the good news.

There's not much to say here. He simply replied, "Okay, I understand. We'll continue tomorrow."

Both men extended invitations, one inviting Xiuming to a high-end cocktail party in the financial industry, and the other inviting him to play golf.

This is nothing! They're too impatient.

"Okay! I'll tell you when I have time, but I'll still need your help later."

Expanding one's network through the stock exchange is a good idea, but I don't have much money and the company isn't set up yet, so I'll have to wait.

Chapter 104 The supermarket business was handled by Ezaki.

After Xiuming finished answering three phone calls, the hands of his wristwatch showed 2 p.m.

"You really made 9000 million yen?" Ayako, still clinging to Hideaki, blinked her wide eyes again. "All three accounts made 9000 million yen?"

It was still drizzling outside, and she had just gotten wet again. The rain in May was also a bit chilly, and she felt a chill on her body.

Don't ask stupid questions.

As Xiuming spoke, he put Ayako back on the sofa, then walked to the fax machine to tidy up the office rental documents. "It's getting late. Go take a hot shower and get some sleep. I'm going to the Legal Affairs Bureau."

The Shinjuku Ward Legal Affairs Bureau isn't far, only about half an hour away. However, there are quite a few necessary preparations to make before applying for registration, so it's best to finish everything that needs to be done today.

"How would I have time to take a shower?"

Ayako hurriedly got dressed; she was going to find Ezaki to apply for a mortgage loan.

She listened intently to Xiuming's phone call the entire time, her face pressed against his. She didn't like stock market investing; she preferred her embroidery business. But now she was short of money, and once she had enough start-up capital, she could immediately develop her business.

Seeing Riko's supermarket thriving, and even when Ezaki approached Riko to discuss a collaboration, she felt like she was being ostracized.

Ayako ran back to Riko's supermarket with the property documents in her hand.

Hideaki then took the train to the Shinjuku Ward Legal Affairs Bureau.

The Legal Affairs Bureau is currently the unified management agency for business registration in Japan, responsible for handling matters such as company establishment, changes, and cancellation.

You need to draft your own "company bylaws," which include the company name, purpose, capital amount, headquarters location, and founder information, and you also need to pay about 4 yen in taxes.

It then needs to be certified by a notary public, with a notary fee of around 50,000 yen.

Next, you need to deposit the registered capital.

Although Japanese company law theoretically allows for companies with a "1 yen" balance, Hideaki deposited 150 million yen directly to enhance the company's reputation, facilitate future business cooperation and bank account opening, improve processing efficiency, and attract Satoshi Tajiri and his studio.

After a flurry of activity, I was practically exhausted, but I managed to finish all the necessary paperwork just before the end of the workday.

Next, we'll have to see how fast the Legal Affairs Bureau processes the documents. At normal speed, it will take about 1-2 months to get the permits, but during this time, it won't affect the company's operations.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the drizzle became more and more intense, and the wind also picked up.

Xiuming's black umbrella couldn't shield him from much rain; his trousers and black cloth shoes were soaked through.

He made a phone call to Naoto Sugita from a public phone booth.

When asked about the efforts to find out about closed game development studios and acquire used game development equipment, he was told, "It's only been a day, how could it be that fast!"

"So that's why your factory is about to go bankrupt, you procrastinator!" Xiuming took off his shoes in the phone booth and wiped the water out of his eyes. "Tell my five gay employees to wait at the entrance of the Tokyo Financial Center opposite the Miyamoto 100 Yen Supermarket at 9 a.m. tomorrow. I want to check their 'quality' first."

The 28th floor was just rented and still needs renovation. The equipment hasn't been installed yet, so it will be at least a week before we can start working there.

However, Shota will be coming tomorrow to report on the situation with Satoshi Tajiri. If Shota's negotiations go smoothly, he will take them to visit Satoshi Tajiri's studio and have a chat with them.

He could also take the opportunity to have a long talk with Satoshi Tajiri about his "dream of a future pastoral landscape full of insects," and how to cultivate two acres of fertile land on the barren land of the Sugita family.

"Don't reveal their sexual orientation, they'll be looked down upon!"

"You should immigrate to the United States; it will be legal there in a few years..."

Xiuming gave a perfunctory reply and hung up the phone.

I returned to "Miyamoto 100 Yen Supermarket" at 6:30.

Because it was rush hour and it was raining, there weren't many customers in the supermarket.

Most office workers rushed to the door in the rain to ask Chieko at the cashier if they had manga magazines such as Weekly Young Magazine, Weekly Shonen Jump, and Monthly Shonen GAN GAN.

Chieko shook her head and smiled, "I'm so sorry, the boss just placed the order today, it won't be here until tomorrow..."

"Okay then, you must come tomorrow..." The office worker bought a box of assorted bento boxes and hurriedly ran back to the building.

The shelf in front of the cashier that used to hold comic magazines is now empty.

For Japanese office workers in this era, there has never been a time when they can leave work on time.

The most severely affected group is the programmers. In order to meet deadlines and deadlines, they sometimes work overtime for a whole month. Their only free time is during meals, when they read comics to relieve stress.

As soon as Hideaki stepped into the supermarket, Chieko's eyes widened suddenly, and she stammered, "Mr. Yamanaka, you, you're back!"

She had changed out of her casual clothes and was now wearing a brand new green knee-length dress, a one-piece short-sleeved style, with a white apron embroidered with the word "Miyamoto" on it.

The tied apron accentuated her slender waist, and it was truly unexpected that someone with such a thin figure could have such a large bust.

I didn't expect Eri to design the workwear so quickly, and Ayako to produce it so fast.

Overall, it does look quite vibrant, green, and full of enthusiasm.

When Xiuming looked her over, she suddenly lowered her head, her fair, oval face turning bright red, and her bust rose and fell with her breath.

"Could it be that Eri told you something?"

Hideaki moved closer, and Chieko seemed to instinctively take a step back, but then she leaned forward even more and whispered, "What could you possibly say? You didn't say anything, did you..."

Eri told her that Hideaki had designs on her...

She dared not have too many extravagant desires.

Riko seems easy to bully, but Ayako is a very annoying woman. She warned herself on their first meeting not to deliberately seduce Hideaki, and that even if Hideaki wanted it, she couldn't give it to him.

That's utterly slanderous... But if Hideaki really makes a request, how could I possibly refuse?

After all, Eri's manga is just so amazing...

Moreover, Riko seems to be out of her mind; she actually asked me if I wanted to sleep in the massage room tonight, and that I should go next door…

"Since she didn't say it, then I will. You have a great figure, very pleasing to the eye, but you're still a bit thin. Eat more, take care of your health, and don't forget to work hard. I'll give you a promotion and a raise in the future."

I remember her employment application stated: single and divorced...

It's a pity, Eri said she brought matchmaking flyers, so it seems she doesn't have much ambition... and doesn't even know how to curry favor with the boss.

Ezaki and Ayako have already left the supermarket; they're probably off to Ayako's to process her loan application. They haven't returned yet, so they've probably gone straight back to Ayako's villa and won't be coming over again tonight.

Eri was actually squatting under the cashier, looking up at the counter like a thief.

Xiuming met her gaze, grabbed her student-style haircut, pointed to the financial building across from the supermarket, and said, "I'll arrange a new job for you. Starting tomorrow, you'll be my receptionist in that building."

Although she exudes a gloomy, reclusive vibe, she can still look quite presentable if you dress her up. After all, she used to work part-time at a bubble bath shop and was quite attractive. However, she has been staying up late lately drawing comics, which has made her look tired and lacking in energy.

The company is newly established, so we need a decent female receptionist.

"I'm not going!" Eri broke free from Hideaki's hand and shoved Chieko. "She used to be a receptionist at the company, she has work experience. Hey, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and agree, maybe you can... um!"

Chieko covered Eri's mouth and pressed her head against the cashier's counter. Eri's already red face turned even redder, and she just lowered her head and didn't say a word.

To my surprise, she had such strength. Eri was like a baby antelope whose head was being held down by its mother leopard.

“Go if you want, or I’ll hire someone else,” Xiuming said as he walked toward the massage room. “You’ll have at least a week to think about it.”

Although Ezaki and Riko didn't reach an agreement on any collaborative projects today, Ezaki had already prepared a project plan. It didn't seem like a collaboration between two companies at all, but rather a development plan that combined "Yamagai Foreign Trade" with "Miyamoto 100 Yen Supermarket".

Ezaki was thoughtful; he didn't treat himself like an outsider.

Ezaki's men are not just gangsters; they also include many ordinary employees in various industries.

With ample funds, manpower, and land, and with such an urgent need for transformation, Riko's supermarket will expand rapidly in the next few days.

I don't need to worry about that anymore; I can just focus on the game development company's business. Of course, I can't forget about raising money in the stock market.

Push open the door to the massage room.
