Chapter 518 Raising tigers is a problem?

After Ito left, Suzuki Toshifumi did not leave with him.

Here, he signed a contract with Lin Haoran personally.

This contract stated that he must serve the Southern Company and the 711-Eleven convenience store brand in the future, and if he wanted to resign, he would have to pay a huge amount of compensation.

Of course, the salary has also increased to a certain extent.

In this way, both parties are satisfied.

Regarding Toshifumi Suzuki's position, he is currently temporarily appointed as vice president of Southern Company.

As for Anton Allison, we cannot fire him just for the moment because he still plays a very important role.

If he were fired or demoted, it would have a significant impact on Southern Company.

Therefore, Anton Ellison continued to serve as CEO of Southern Company.

What he didn't know was that he wouldn't be able to stay in this position for much longer.

If he made any mistake in his work, Lin Haoran would find a reason to demote him.

If he is willing to continue to serve as Suzuki Toshifumi's deputy, Lin Haoran doesn't mind letting him stay in the Southern Company.

If you don't want to, then your only option is to resign.

After signing the contract, Toshifumi Suzuki went to discuss the relocation of the headquarters with Anton Allison.

Lin Haoran also noticed Suzuki Toshifumi's loyalty.

Originally, he thought that the loyalty of this new subordinate who was forced to join him might be very low, and he was mentally prepared.

But what he didn't expect was that Suzuki Toshifumi's loyalty reached a terrifying 90.
This level of loyalty is somewhat unreasonable.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Lin Haoran understood why his loyalty was so high.

Generally speaking, this loyalty is mostly loyalty to the company rather than loyalty to him, Lin Haoran, except for those subordinates around him who serve him exclusively.

The 711-Eleven convenience store brand is obviously very important to Toshifumi Suzuki.

Moreover, after introducing 711-Eleven convenience stores to Japan, he has also served as the CEO of the Japanese branch of 711-Eleven, so he naturally attaches great importance to this company.

Now, his position has been promoted from 711-Eleven Japan Branch to 711-Eleven's parent company, Southern Company. It is obviously normal that his loyalty remains the same.

After thinking it all through, Lin Haoran felt relieved.

This can be considered an unexpected surprise.

Since Toshifumi Suzuki is so loyal, he feels more at ease leaving the Southern Company to him.

In Lin Haoran's office, Yamaguchi Keiko, who had always been following Lin Haoran, now had a clearer understanding of the strength of this new boss.

After all, as a student of finance at the University of Tokyo, she had some understanding of listed companies like Ito-Yokado.

But now, such a well-known company would actually sign so many humiliating terms when facing its boss.

Of course, as a student majoring in finance at the University of Tokyo, she already had a certain understanding of Hong Kong's securities and financial industry, so she naturally knew Lin Haoran, Hong Kong's new business tycoon.

What's more, she is fluent in Hong Kong dialect, which enables her to have a deeper understanding of the situation in Hong Kong than other Japanese.

"Boss, if we let Mr. Ito off so easily, aren't you worried that he will become a threat to us in the future? Mr. Ito remained calm and readily agreed to the extremely insulting contract. He is obviously an extremely tolerant person.

My father once warned me that this type of people are often the most terrifying, and when encountering such people, the strategy for dealing with them is either to avoid making enemies or to ensure that they are defeated in one blow, leaving no room for maneuver.

I have great fear, in view of the agreements you have made with him, that he may break them if he gets the chance, and exact a still greater vengeance upon you."

Seeing that she and Lin Haoran were the only two people left in the office, Yamada Keiko finally couldn't hold back the doubts in her heart.

Lin Haoran looked at this new subordinate with whom he had only worked for a few hours with a little surprise. He did not expect that she had such keen observation skills.

Under normal circumstances, this is indeed the case.

However, Lin Haoran is not really worried about Ito who lost the 711- convenience store.

After all, he had recently learned a lot about the development history of Ito-Yokado, a company that had a history of several decades.

If they hadn't encountered the opportunity of 711-Eleven convenience stores, they would never have reached the scale they have today.

In recent years, Ito-Yokado has made considerable profits from the 711-Eleven convenience store brand, which has gradually expanded the strength of Ito-Yokado. The key figure in this is Toshifumi Suzuki.

In other words, if Toshifumi Suzuki had not introduced 711-Eleven convenience stores to Japan, Ito-Yokado's current strength would be even more mediocre.

Today, Ito-Yokado has completely lost the agency rights for 711-Eleven convenience stores. Lin Haoran doesn't think that the other party can make a comeback.

And, most importantly, the gap between the two is so huge, so huge that even the Ito family in another world may not have the achievements he has today.

In addition, ten years later, before the end of Japan's economic bubble, he would also cash out most of the Japanese industries he held and then run away.

In this way, he would have no worries about whether letting the Ito family go would lead to a disaster.

"Don't worry. The business circle is not big, but its every move is under my control. If there are any signs of rise, I will notice it at the first time and formulate corresponding countermeasures." Lin Haoran did not elaborate on his thoughts in detail, but just responded with a brief smile.

"Indeed, with your strong financial resources, a medium-sized company like Ito-Yokado is nothing to be afraid of." After thinking for a moment, Keiko Yamada felt that her previous worries were a bit unnecessary.

The boss in front of me is by no means comparable to an ordinary businessman like my father.

There was a knock on the office door at this moment.

The person who came in was Toshifumi Suzuki.

"Mr. Suzuki, what do you want to talk to me about?" Lin Haoran asked the general he had just conquered with a smile.

"Boss, 711-Eleven Japan Branch is a listed company. Now that Ito-Yokado is selling its shares back to Southern Company, it needs to make an announcement to the public. In addition, since you want to privatize 711-Eleven Japan Branch, you also need to submit application documents to the Tokyo Stock Exchange as soon as possible." Toshifumi Suzuki replied respectfully.

"Okay, you and Mr. Anton just need to handle these things." Lin Haoran said nonchalantly.

"In addition, Mr. Anton and I have discussed that Southern Company is going to hold a press conference in Japan. The first is to announce Southern Company's repurchase of shares from Ito-Yokado Company. The second is about privatization. The third is that Southern Company will move its headquarters from the United States to Tokyo, Japan. Do you need to attend this press conference?" Toshifumi Suzuki asked.

"You guys can handle the press conference. As for the relocation of Southern Company's headquarters to Tokyo, the government should have corresponding preferential policies, right?" Lin Haoran shook his head after thinking for a while and then asked.

"There will indeed be preferential policies. Tokyo is currently vigorously promoting the 'Headquarters Plan', which aims to attract major global companies to locate their headquarters in Tokyo. If southern companies choose to move their capital to Tokyo, the most direct benefit will be in terms of taxation. In the next three years, the headquarters tax will be halved, which will save the company a lot of expenses.

In addition, there are many other preferential policies. If you are interested, I can introduce them to you in detail." Suzuki Toshifumi had obviously studied this before and gave a very detailed answer.

"Okay, I got it. I'll look into it when I have time. You must be very busy now, so go back to work and get the relocation of the Southern Company's headquarters done as soon as possible. Thank you for your hard work!" Lin Haoran laughed and did not let the other party stay to continue explaining to him.

"Then I'll be out first." After saying this, Toshifumi Suzuki left the office respectfully.

Next, 711’s development focus will be on Japan.

However, his boss is not Japanese, and as he understands the situation in Japan, he knows very well that this is not conducive to the continued expansion of 711-Eleven convenience stores in Japan.

By moving the headquarters here and making the company temporarily a Japanese company, this problem would naturally be solved.

Therefore, it is necessary to move the headquarters of Southern Company from the United States.

In the future, that is, before the end of the economic bubble, the expansion of 711-711 convenience stores in Japan should have reached a very terrifying scale. In other words, - convenience stores in Japan have basically stabilized. By then, he will move the headquarters to Hong Kong.

As for the 711 Japanese branch, he can list it separately and sell the agency rights to the Japanese consortium. In this way, he can reap a large sum of money.

These are Lin Haoran’s plans.

I looked at the time and realized that it was already past six in the evening.

So he said to Yamada Keiko who was standing beside him, "Let's go back first. I'll show you where you will live in the future."

Since she is a personal secretary, it is natural for her to follow her back to the villa at night.

"Boss, I want to go back and get some clothes and toiletries." Yamada Keiko said nervously.

"Huizi, don't worry about clothes and toiletries." Lin Haoran smiled and waved his hand, "I have asked someone to prepare new ones for you. When you arrive at the villa, you will first receive a few sets of daily clothes, and then a professional clothing customization company will tailor work clothes for you. Toiletries are also available there, you can move in directly."

Since she is his personal secretary, she naturally cannot dress too casually. When she goes out to meet other business and political bigwigs, as a secretary, Yamada Keiko also represents Lin Haoran's face, so her dress must be decent and in line with her status.

When Keiko Yamada heard this, she felt a warm feeling in her heart. She didn't expect her boss to be so thoughtful.
