The waitress was taken aback; it was her first ti encountering a guest like Lin Chuan.
Isn't it said that all the male guests who co here are after this kind of *****? So even start eyeing the beautiful waitresses as soon as they step through the door.
But this gentleman not only refused her proactive service but even intended to tip her.
Honestly, for a young and seemingly well-mannered guest like Lin Chuan to reject her proactive service, she felt sowhat disappointed.
However, seeing Lin Chuan's firm attitude, she couldn't say anything and could only obediently bow and retreat.
"Phew! Almost couldn't hold it together!" Lin Chuan exhaled loudly, wiped the sweat from his forehead, reclined back onto the stone seat, and wet a towel to place on his head to cool down from the previous suggestive scene.
But it was less than two minutes before Lin Chuan heard another noise.
"Splash!"
"Sir, do you need any service?" This ti it seed to be a different server, being even more aggressive, jumping directly into the pool before he could even say anything.
"I thought I already ntioned that I don't need special services. Could you please leave first?" Lin Chuan was getting a bit impatient.
"Hee hee, didn't expect Qingzi you to find yourself such a gentleman for a boyfriend." It was still the sa voice, but how did this person suddenly ntion Qingzi?
Lin Chuan quickly pulled the towel off his head, and the beautiful sight in front of him almost gave him a nosebleed!
Qingzi and another beauty no less than her were now subrged under the hot spring; only the water's reflection prevented the enticing scene from below from being revealed, yet one could easily imagine the view beneath. These two were beauties at a level second only to Tang Yung, not inferior to even Tang Yung or Song Xiaojia.
One can imagine how deadly this scene is!
"Ahem! Qingzi, how co you ca in without even a word? And who is this?" Lin Chuan coughed awkwardly.
"Oh, Lin Chuan, are you now wanting us to leave in front of you, huh?"
Lin Chuan was instantly at a loss for words.
Qingzi's question was truly high-level!
If he says he doesn't want them to leave, then it implies he was pretending to be serious earlier, hoping to stay with the two beauties in their current state.
And if he says he wants them to leave, the consequences might be even worse!
Consider their current state; if they really just walk out like that in front of him, wouldn't he see everything, making it even more unclear!
"Alright! Qingzi, looks like your boyfriend really is quite proper; let's not tease him anymore and talk about business." The beauty with Qingzi seed more composed.
With the beauty's 'plea,' Qingzi let go of the chance to further tease her boss.
"Okay, okay, Lin Chuan, this is my good friend I ntioned earlier, Mizuhara Ai."
"Oh?" Lin Chuan appeared interested.
"So, Miss Mizuhara, is there sothing you'd like to discuss with ?"
"Yes, I have learned that you, Mr. Lin, have co to Japan to deal with Nomura Xin's Sea Domain Company, and many companies see this as an opportunity to carve up the benefits from its downfall."
Lin Chuan nodded slightly; these words weren't difficult to analyze, as anyone well-inford would know, and Qingzi had ntioned it before.
The key was Mizuhara Ai's calm deanor; he understood that the more critical analysis was yet to co. At this point, he genuinely wanted to see how far this Mizuhara Ai could take her analysis.
Seeing Lin Chuan unmoved, she knew such an extent was not enough to sway him: "Considering the current situation, while Nomura Xin can barely hold on for a while, the Sea Domain Company will inevitably collapse."
Lin Chuan agreed with that point. Although he initially didn't believe he could truly collapse the prominent Sea Domain Company, after witnessing the scale of the companies in Japan, he understood that even if Sea Domain didn't fall by his hand, it wouldn't last long either.
Don't be fooled by the Beiyou Corporation, and other forces being retaliated against. It was only after he gave it a final push that they crumbled, but they had already exhausted their resources; now, word has it that major banks are cutting off loans to the Sea Domain Company, cutting off their lifeline!
"But I suppose Mr. Lin hasn't considered the aftermath of Sea Domain's collapse?"
Lin Chuan was taken aback, for he indeed hadn't considered that.
Or rather, the previous collaboration between Zhu Xiufeng and Nomura Xin put imnse pressure on them, so Lin Chuan solely focused on how to deal with them first. As to what consequences toppling Nomura Xin might bring, he truly hadn't pondered.
However, since Mizuhara Ai had already brought this up, she must have studied the problem thoroughly, so Lin Chuan directly turned to her to ask: "According to your theory, what will happen if the Sea Domain Company collapses?"
"Simply put, it will trigger a financial earthquake in Japan!" Mizuhara Ai's expression was serious, giving a dissonant feel considering her current look.
But at this point, Lin Chuan could no longer focus on her alluring shoulders or what lay beneath the water, entirely captivated by her words.
"No way? Could it be so serious?" Lin Chuan found it hard to believe.
Lin Chuan's aim in targeting the Sea Domain Company was to repay debt with debt and to deal with Qin Tianlei and Gu Qing. Now, Qin Tianlei and Gu Qing have yet to show themselves, instead pushing Nomura Xin to the front.
Speaking of Lin Chuan's thods, they mostly relied on financial backing.
The funds coming from Citibank in the United States were arranged with the help of CIA Director Everson, while those transferred through the British London Bank were naturally arranged by Her Majesty the Queen.
Although the Sea Domain Company holds a rather unique position within Japan's financial sector, size-wise, it is not particularly noteworthy within the Japanese market.
Even if it collapses, there are other profitable enterprises to balance the equation; it doesn't seem like simply avenging his brothers.
"Mr. Lin, I assure you, I'm not exaggerating. The Sea Domain Company ranks among the top three investnt enterprises in Japan, and it holds significant scale, especially with its intricate ties to other financial firms. This ti, to strike the Sichuan University Group, they took loans from many banks and allied with technically capable smaller firms."
"aning, once the Sea Domain Company collapses, it will ripple through many enterprises. But what does that have to do with ? This is just repaynt with repaynt," Lin Chuan laughed.
"Lin Chuan, I understand you're doing this for your group, but have you considered? Despite being attacked by so many companies, despite the market suffering, the Sea Domain is still holding on. Normally, they shouldn't have sufficient funds, yet they're managing. Why is that?" Mizuhara Ai's eyes sparkled as she said to Lin Chuan.
"The Sea Domain Company targeting our Sichuan University Group certainly has soone supporting them behind the scenes, and frankly, those backing them are my true target," Lin Chuan replied, making sense.
If the collapse of the Sea Domain Company indeed incited such enormous reaction, any companies deeply tied to the Sea Domain wouldn't foolishly ignore it. They would certainly try all out to assist it, not letting it fall easily, right?
Mizuhara Ai bitterly smiled and said, "That must be greed. In fact, if Japan's market destabilizes, even many companies participating in the assault on the Sea Domain wouldn't be able to completely stay afloat, yet from a speculative standpoint, it's enormously profitable. Moreover, those people aren't obligated to the entire financial market, so why wouldn't they seize the opportunity?"
Lin Chuan sat silently, fully grasping the ntality of those individuals from Mizuhara Ai's words. This issue could be considered a deliberate creation of the modern system.
If the executives cannot bring sufficient profit to the company, the board will remove you. Therefore, they need only bring profit; other issues need not be considered as long as they don't break the law.
From this perspective, their responsibility towards the overall "system" is minimized.
Especially in this case, everyone understood, even if you don't act, other opportunists will; given that the Sea Domain Company is dood, one might as well benefit from its downfall.
Everyone chased forward driven by this thought, not to ntion, companies like Hideo Hidaka's Corporation possibly had deep competitive or grudging histories.
Therefore, the downfall of the Sea Domain Company becos an inevitable result of this "trend," and this result will compel a broad range of other enterprises to suffer similarly.
This still doesn't fully explain the severity.
The demise of a company like the Sea Domain, influential and well-known, will undoubtedly incite fear among ordinary investors in the market, driving their investnts toward conservatism or even temporary withdrawal from the Japanese market, triggering a chain reaction! This reaction could indeed be fatal!
Reflecting on this, Lin Chuan no longer doubts Mizuhara Ai's analysis; on the contrary, he has renewed respect for this young, beautiful girl.
"So, what you an is you want to back off, correct?" Lin Chuan smiled as he asked.
Both Mizuhara and Qingzi exchanged glances and saw a glimr of happiness in each other's eyes. It indicated Lin Chuan accepted her analysis!
"Yes, after all, both Qingzi and I are Japanese and wouldn't want to see such a result, given the multitude of factors affecting the outco," Mizuhara Ai explained.
"Gladly listening," Lin Chuan responded. Fortunately, Lin Chuan's Japanese had improved significantly, otherwise, it would indeed be challenging to communicate smoothly with such a brilliant student like Mizuhara.
