Chapter 490: Chapter 283: The Real Buyer_2
“Besides Sanyo, who else could take over Xingye Products?”
i Xiang muttered to herself, wracking her brain, only to realize how thin her network circle appeared in front of real business tycoons.
Chen Cheng patted i Xiang’s hand, “Don’t worry, take your ti.”
“There are a few, but their business doesn’t overlap much with Xingye Products, and they might not be interested in taking over. And…”
i Xiang raised her head, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes, “Compared to Sanyo, their strength is still lacking. I’m worried they won’t be able to withstand Sanyo’s pressure.”
Chen Cheng understood i Xiang’s concerns.
Sanyo Group’s influence in the Japanese business community is imnse. If they were determined to obstruct the transaction, other companies would find it difficult to compete.
“Then let’s do this,” Chen Cheng opened up.
“Brother Cheng, have you thought of sothing?”
Chen Cheng put his arm around i Xiang’s shoulders, “Last ti it was you who found soone, this ti, let do it.”
“You… You’ve t other people in Japan, besides ?”
Chen Cheng smiled, “Let make a call.”
Saying that, he took out his phone and dialed a number.
The call was connected quickly, Chen Cheng spoke, “Sister-in-law, it’s Xiao Chen here…”
…
…
The Japan Chinese Chamber of Comrce is a non-profit public service organization mainly composed of overseas Chinese, Chinese nationals, and Japanese corporate persons with Chinese capital investnt.
With Chen Cheng’s call, Chu Qin helped him reach Bai Wei.
Bai Wei was not only a close friend of Chu Qin but also the wife of the current president of the Japan Chinese Chamber of Comrce.
Bai Wei arranged to et them in Ginza.
When Chen Cheng and i Xiang arrived, Bai Wei was already sitting there waiting.
She was dressed in a simple yet elegant beige suit, her hair neatly styled into a bun, exuding an air of elegance and nobility with every move.
Upon their first eting, Bai Wei gave a feeling of spring warmth.
Her smile was warm, her tone gentle, with none of the haughtiness of the high-society ladies.
“Ms. Bai, good day, I am Chen Cheng,” Chen Cheng started by introducing himself.
Bai Wei bead a bright smile, “Hello, Mr. Chen. Xiao Chu already called , please have a seat.”
The two sat opposite Bai Wei.
“If there are any difficulties, just let know,” Bai Wei started, “Our Chamber will support you.”
Chen Cheng glanced at i Xiang, first introduced i Xiang’s identity, and then spoke about selling off Xingye Products’ assets in Japan.
Bai Wei, during Chen Cheng’s recounting, also observed this young girl.
“Xingye Products is a very outstanding company, many of our Chamber mbers have had dealings with your company.”
Bai Wei spoke at a asured pace, “I just didn’t expect that the current president would be so young and beautiful.”
i Xiang sat up straight, earnestly saying, “Ms. Bai, my urgency in selling Xingye Products’ assets in Japan is not due to poor managent, but because of other hidden reasons.”
Bai Wei smiled slightly, gesturing for i Xiang to continue.
i Xiang took a deep breath and slowly revealed the threat from Minister Ito, and her wish to leave Japan with Chen Cheng to start a new life.
Bai Wei listened quietly without interrupting.
She elegantly picked up her teacup, took a sip, a subtle gleam fleeting through her eyes.
After i Xiang finished speaking, she finally spoke calmly, “Miss Xingye, I completely understand your situation. As a woman, I admire your courage and determination.”
She paused, turning her gaze to Chen Cheng, “Mr. Chen, personally, I think this issue is tricky.”
Bai Wei set down her teacup, “The biggest reason is not Sanyo Group, but Minister Ito, as Miss Xingye ntioned.”
“You must be aware, doing business on this land, we can’t avoid dealing with people like Ito.”
“If we rashly intervene, it might bring unnecessary trouble. Although the Chamber is powerful, we also do not wish to easily offend such politicians.”
“Then…is there really no other way?” i Xiang’s tone carried a hint of despair.
Bai Wei pondered for a mont, then said, “It’s not that there are no solutions, it just requires so ti and maneuvering.”
i Xiang, unable to wait, asked, “What solutions?”
As soon as the words were spoken, i Xiang realized her gaffe and imdiately apologized several tis.
Ms. Bai still smiled: “It’s okay, at this stage, it’s inevitable to be flustered.”
She pondered for a mont, then asked, “Mr. Chen, do you have a business here?”
“Currently, no.”
“I think you do.”
Five words that awakened Chen Cheng.
However, i Xiang was confused and looked at Chen Cheng in surprise, “Brother Cheng, do you have a company here too?”
Ms. Bai covered her mouth and laughed: “Mr. Chen, your Miss i Xiang, is really adorable.”
Chen Cheng also smiled, wrapped his arm around i Xiang’s shoulder, and explained, “What Ms. Bai ans is that she wants to establish a company to complete the equity swap with you.”
Ms. Bai saw how swiftly Chen Cheng responded and nodded in approval, “Exactly, I know you’ve been setting up Dili Private Equity and avoiding overseas transactions.”
“But you could acquire Xingye Products through your controlled company.”
“In doing so, you would avoid the risk of the Chamber directly intervening and avoid conflict with Sanyo Group.”
“After all, your business here doesn’t involve any industrial operations.”
The term “risk avoidance” is sothing that Chen Cheng learned repeatedly.
Whether it’s Chen Jin, Wen Shulin, or now Ms. Bai, their thods differ, but they all execute this tiless principle.
“Once you and Miss i Xiang complete the equity swap, there will be three advantages.”
Ms. Bai spoke confidently, “First, Ito’s influence is primarily in the political arena in Japan, while your business scope is dostic. Even if his minions are formidable, they can’t touch you.”
She raised her second finger, “Second, it avoids direct conflict with the Sanyo Group. Kentarou’s intent is unclear, and we shouldn’t confront him directly for now. Your acquisition can be seen as a regular business investnt, and even if the Sanyo Group wants to intervene, they wouldn’t find a valid reason.”
Lastly, Ms. Bai raised her third finger,
“Third, and most importantly, Xingye Products would still be in your hands. After completing the equity swap, i Xiang can step back whole and still retain control of Xingye Products. This way, it’s possible to escape from Ito’s threats and simultaneously preserve the Xingye family’s foundation.”
Ms. Bai paused, her eyes gently falling on i Xiang, “Miss Xingye, I know you have deep feelings for your family business, and you wouldn’t want to give it up unless absolutely necessary. This plan allows you to continue protecting Xingye Products while ensuring your safety.”
i Xiang’s eyes lit up, as she originally thought she would be forced to give up Xingye Products but didn’t expect such a win-win strategy.
She excitedly looked at Chen Cheng and gratefully towards Ms. Bai, “Ms. Bai, I really can’t thank you enough! You’ve thought everything through so thoroughly!”
Ms. Bai smiled slightly, “However, this plan also has so risks.”
Chen Cheng listened quietly.
“First, Mr. Chen, you need to quickly establish a capable company to acquire Xingye Products.”
“It should not be a related party transaction; it needs to be a genuine acquisition.”
Ms. Bai spoke earnestly, “This requires the sourcing of acquisition funds to be clean, without any issues.”
Chen Cheng nodded, “Funding isn’t a problem, I can ensure the sources are clear and traceable.”
“Secondly, don’t imdiately turn against the Sanyo Group.” Ms. Bai cautioned: “Wait until everything is settled. Once you enter the country with i Xiang, you can do as you please.”
Chen Cheng took a deep breath and nodded again.
“Lastly, your and i Xiang’s share swap only addresses the imdiate urgency.”
Ms. Bai shared all she knew, “If possible, you should still transfer Xingye Products to the dostic market.”
“For instance, after returning to the country, first establish an office, then delist Xingye Products from Japan and let the funds flow north, integrating it into your Dili Private Equity or another dostic enterprise in so manner.”
Ms. Bai paused, “Of course, this is just my suggestion. The specifics need to be carefully considered.”
Chen Cheng greatly appreciated it, “Ms. Bai, thank you for your suggestions.”
Chen Cheng understood that if Xingye Products could truly be transferred to China, it would not only completely escape from Ito’s threat but also avoid Japan’s complex business environnt and potential political factors.
More importantly, i Xiang could truly retain her family property.
i Xiang’s face was incredulous; she didn’t imagine business could be conducted this way.
She looked forward to Chen Cheng, who t her gaze and smiled, “It seems like your Xingye Products will bear the Chen surna.”
i Xiang smiled sweetly, she was well aware, selling to anyone else would be incomparable to selling to the one by her side.
“Yes, bearing the Chen surna! Bearing the Chen surna!”
i Xiang leaned on Chen Cheng’s shoulder and murmured, “I’ve long been Chen ixiang…”
“What?” Chen Cheng laughed and asked, “What are you muttering there?”
i Xiang shook her head, dispelling any confused thoughts, and quickly asked, “Ms. Bai, what should I do next?”
