Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

New York, Upper East Side, Manhattan.

The sky was getting dark, and Maori Haruko was waiting outside the villa, obviously waiting for someone.

But Maori Haruko didn't wait long. A few minutes later, a car drove over and stopped in front of Maori Haruko.

Seeing this, Maori Haruko wanted to open the back door, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, the back door opened by itself.

"Haruko!"

What got out of the car was a white man in his fifties. He looked tall, strong, energetic, and not old at all.

"Father!"

Haruko Mouri went over and hugged her father.

"Father, let's go in and talk."

"Okay, let's go in and talk."

The car was handed over to the driver to park. After sizing up the villa in front of him, Raymond Odom followed him in with emotion.

He couldn't help but feel emotional. You must know that this is the Upper East Side of Manhattan. The price of villas here is very high. The villa in front of him is worth nearly half of the entire Odom family's net worth.

Maori Haruko led her father to the villa and asked the servant to make coffee.

"Haruko, I didn't expect the place you live in to be so nice. I'm so happy for you."

This was Raymond Odom's first time here, but he knew that Haruko Maori lived here, and even knew that Haruko Maori sometimes went to live in the apartment on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.

Whether it's a villa here on the Upper East Side or an apartment on Fifth Avenue, housing prices are very high.

"This is all thanks to my chairman. Without him, I wouldn't be where I am now."

Haruko Mouri speaks from her heart. As long as she compares herself with her classmates who graduated from the same level, she can see the huge gap.

Most of her classmates are now doing jobs that cost thousands of dollars a month. Although the salary is not low, it is incomparable to her now. Not to mention what Lin Baicheng gave her, even her salary income from work is still that of those classmates. dozens or hundreds of times.

"You are living so well now, so I feel relieved."

Raymond Odom is mostly happy that his daughter is doing well. If he really had no feelings for this daughter, he would not have helped her in the first place.

While the two were chatting, the maid came up with coffee. After Mouri Haruko asked the maid to go down, she got to the point.

"Father, I'm calling you here this time. I want to talk to you about what you told me last time."

"How to say? What is the result?"

Raymond Odom's face straightened and he put down his coffee cup. He had already expected it before coming, but he didn't know whether the outcome would be good or bad. This is related to the future of him and the entire Odom family, so he has no choice but to be cautious.

Maori Haruko said: "My boss said that he should first consider the benefits and losses, and decide whether there are more advantages or disadvantages to supporting you, father. He will tell me after the results are obtained."

"This kind of thing really needs to be considered carefully."

Raymond Odom couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he heard this. Fortunately, this was not bad news or hopeless, so he could accept it.

"But Haruko, do you have a tendency towards your boss's attitude? Is it more likely that he is willing to support me with money, or is he more likely to be unwilling to spend the money?"

"Father, I can't guarantee this, but I can only say that if I'm here, the chance that Chairman will ultimately choose to support you will be greater."

Maori Haruko expressed her guess. She believed that with Lin Baicheng's trust in her, it was more likely that she would not mind spending some money to support her father. After all, the money was not in vain and would be repaid in the future.

"I feel much more relieved when I hear you say that, Haruko."

Raymond Odom couldn't help but smile when he heard this. He knew that since his daughter said this, it meant that the possibility of obtaining financial support was indeed greater this time.

Upon seeing this, Maori Haruko reminded: "Father, I just said that the chairman's financial support is more likely, but it does not guarantee success. Don't forget this, so as not to blame my daughter when you get disappointing results. "

"Don't worry, Haruko. No matter what the outcome is, I will definitely not blame you."

Raymond Odom immediately said that he would be disappointed not to receive financial support, but he did not blame Mouri Haruko. Because Mouri Haruko has a different identity now, working for big capitalists and working in a big company, he will probably use his daughter's relationship in the future. How could the relationship between the two parties be ruined just because one thing went wrong.

"That's good."

Maori Haruko nodded and said: "Father, I have one more thing to tell you. If the chairman provides financial support to you, no matter whether your business can succeed or not, when the chairman needs it, you must provide it." It’s all about giving back, is that okay?”

"There's definitely no problem with giving back."

Raymond Odom responded immediately: "I know all the rules. As long as your boss pays, it's my business whether it succeeds or not, and I will give you the rewards you deserve. But Haruko, after all, your boss is Foreigners, there are some things I can’t do for them, we have to agree on this first, it will be good for both of us.”

Raymond Odom wants to go further, and he doesn't want to go to court-martial for it, so there are some things he will never do.

"Father, don't worry about this. If the chairman really asks you for help, he won't make it too difficult for you."

Maori Haruko nodded to express her understanding, and then said: "By the way, father, do you have any connections in Japan? Chairman, in addition to doing business in the United States, he also has business in Hong Kong and Japan. If you are in Japan, If you have any connections, the chairman might be able to use it, so you don’t have to be too embarrassed."

"Yes, I still have some connections with the garrison over there."

Raymond Odom couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Since you said so, I will definitely maintain the relationship there, and I can even ask higher-up officers for help if necessary."

In Raymond Odom's view, helping through connections in Japan will not affect him personally, so it would be best to give such a reward.

"Father, if you say that, I will feel relieved."

Maori Haruko knew that Lin Baicheng would have huge investments in Japan, and she was also one of the leaders. Therefore, the personal connections in Japan were very important, especially with the garrison. The Japanese high-level officials did not dare to offend the garrison, and the garrison was there to protect them. Then Lin Baicheng's interests in Japan will be more protected.

"By the way, father, are you planning to work in the army in the future?"

"Well, that's not surprising."

Raymond Odom nodded: "The Odom family has always been in the military, and their connections are all in the military. If the family wants to make a difference, it can only develop in the military. As for going into politics or business, Unless the family has a genius, it will be difficult to achieve anything, at least the family will not be able to provide support, and you will not be able to compare with others from the starting point."

"Father, my boss has a good relationship with the Elephant Party. He is currently supporting Mr. Reagan to run for president. He also has some contacts with other senior officials of the Elephant Party. If you intend to enter politics in the future, Chairman, he can give you some help."

"Of course, if father you have no idea of ​​entering politics, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Maori Haruko paused as she spoke, and then said: "Speaking of this, I remembered something. My boss said that he attaches great importance to his friendship with Mr. Reagan and Mr. Bush. Let me ask you. Is there a hostile relationship with them? If so, then he will never support you. You must answer this truthfully, otherwise the chairman will find out, and I will be unlucky then. "

"Haruko, don't worry, I will definitely tell the truth."

Raymond Odom said: "The Mr. Reagan you are talking about is the one who is running for president, right? I am certainly not hostile to him. Whether it is him or Mr. Bush, I have never dealt with him before, so I have nothing to do with them." No relationship, neither friend nor enemy."

"As long as it's not a hostile relationship."

Maori Haruko felt a little relieved after hearing this, but still said: "Father, what is the relationship between the faction behind you and them?"

Raymond Odom said: "They shouldn't be enemies. If nothing else, we shouldn't have much contact. After all, we are in different circles."

"Father, what I want is not an answer like 'should'. You'd better ask and give an accurate answer after you go back."

However, Maori Haruko said that she did not want to be known as a bad person. Once this happened, a bad mistake would affect the huge investment funds she currently manages and affect her status in Lin Baicheng's heart.

"Okay, I'll find time to ask when I get back and give you an answer."

Raymond Odom nodded. He was not worried about this because he had never dealt with Reagan or Bush before. If his backer had a hostile relationship with them, it would be impossible for his backer not to tell him.

"Then I will wait for your news. Only after you reply can I report to the chairman and ask the chairman if he is willing to invest." Haruko Mouri said.

"Okay, I'll get back to you as soon as possible."

Raymond Odom responded and continued: "As for you asking me just now if I have any thoughts about entering politics, I really haven't considered it yet. After all, I have been in the military before. If I can be promoted to colonel this time , I will definitely stay in the army for many more years."

"After becoming a colonel, I definitely want to become a brigadier general. When I find out that I can't become a brigadier general, I'm afraid I won't be too young. Even if I want to join politics, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."

He had never considered entering politics before. Firstly, he had no experience, and secondly, he had no connections and even less funds.

"I think father, you can consider this matter."

However, Maori Haruko suggested: "After you become a colonel, if you feel that it is unlikely to become a brigadier general, then withdraw from the army as soon as possible and choose to enter politics. Your qualifications are there, and you should have more or less connections, plus The chairman’s support is enough for you to become a governor for one term, not only to run for president.”

"If I can really become governor, then the Odom family will really flourish in my hands."

Raymond Odom couldn't help but feel moved after hearing this. Today's Odom family is just a small family that works in the military. It can't be compared with a political family that has produced governors, let alone a political family that has produced presidents. Compared.

It's not that there aren't powerful families in the mixed army, there are also some, but it's just that the forces within the army are more difficult to change and can easily be consolidated. It's even more difficult for the Odom family to develop and grow.

What's more, joining the army is somewhat dangerous. Children of the family will definitely join the army as soldiers. No one can avoid it. It's just a matter of starting level.

In the army, when there is a war, promotion will be faster and the power in your hands will be greater, but the danger will also be greater. After all, there is no war without death.

When there is no war, the mixed army is safe, but promotion is also slow and the rights in hand will be reduced, which is not necessarily a good thing.

Maori Haruko said: "Father, you can consider this matter slowly, there is no rush anyway."

"Okay, I'll consider it."

Raymond Odom thought for a while, and we can see about this in a few years. If his daughter’s boss’s development has not deteriorated in recent years, and even supports Reagan to become president, then he can really consider entering politics. develop.

"Father, if you encounter any difficulties in daily life, you can tell me and I will help as much as I can."

The reason why Mouri Haruko said this was not only because she was grateful to her father, but also because she wanted to close the relationship between the two parties. She felt that if her father developed well, it would also be beneficial to her.

If his father's side is developing well, Lin Baicheng might be able to use it one day. At that time, Lin Baicheng will definitely think of her as a middleman, and her weight in Lin Baicheng's heart will increase.

"Okay, I will."

The answer is this, but Raymond Odom has already made a decision in his heart, that is, he will not often ask his daughter for help. The more the love is consumed, the less it will be. He can handle small things by himself, there is no need to waste his love and trouble his daughter.

Seeing her father agree, Maori Haruko stopped talking about it and changed the subject: "Father, when are you going to go back to New York this time?"

Raymond Odom said: "If you are not busy, I will stay another day tomorrow and go back the day after tomorrow. If you don't have time, then I will go back tomorrow."

"Are you in such a hurry? Don't you want to stay for a few more days?"

"I can't help it. I asked for leave specifically this time. I can't stay too long."

"In that case, you can stay another day tomorrow and I will take time to accompany you."

Maori Haruko immediately said that Father's Day had just passed a few days ago, so she could spend time with her father and treat it as Father's Day.

Raymond Odom had no objection and agreed.

After the chat, Haruko Mouri went out to eat with her father. Of course there is a chef in the villa, but the chef here can only cook Japanese and Chinese food, and her father is not used to these two types of food.

Yes, even though Raymond Odom has been in Japan for many years, he is not used to eating Japanese food at all. He also ate Western food when he was in Japan.
