We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

Everything was developing in the best possible direction, which was something Su Cheng was very satisfied with.

Over in Japan, they had finally completely admitted defeat.

It seemed that if they didn't admit defeat, the impact and consequences caused by this matter would truly become unbearable.

"So, the final resolution for the Yamakou-gumi and my compensation haven't been truly settled yet, right?" Despite this, Su Cheng still asked.

"Mr. Su Cheng, please rest assured, our cabinet has already announced a nationwide crackdown on organized crime. It's impossible to completely eliminate violent groups, no matter the country, but we guarantee that if Mr. Su's companies suffer unfair treatment in Japan again, we will give Mr. Su a satisfactory response.

As for compensation for the losses, our cabinet has discussed it and will strive to secure 180 million US dollars in compensation for Mr. Su from the Yamakou-gumi. The remaining amount will be compensated by us as a token of apology from Japan to Mr. Su. Is Mr. Su satisfied with this?" Tanaka Saburo said again.

Over the years, the Yamakou-gumi had developed into a super-financial group through various means. 180 million US dollars was indeed a significant amount of money for them, but they could certainly come up with it, depending on how much pressure the Japanese government applied.

"In that case, I'll await your good news. I will resume normal operations for all my companies except for the Japanese branch of the Su's Group. I hope this kind of situation won't happen again. Once the problem is completely resolved, if there's anything you want me to help with, as long as it's reasonable, I will help," Su Cheng said, naturally softening his tone now that the Japanese government was showing sincerity.

"Very well, Mr. Su Cheng, please await our good news. Goodbye!" Tanaka Saburo said solemnly.

"Goodbye!"

After hanging up the phone, a smile couldn't help but appear on Su Cheng's lips.

180 million US dollars was definitely a hefty sum they were being extorted. He hadn't expected them to agree so easily.

After all, this was 180 million US dollars, US dollars, not Japanese yen.

Even in the world forty years later, 180 million US dollars was a very large sum of money, let alone in this era.

It seemed that Japan in this era was much richer than he had imagined!

No wonder Japan in the 1980s was said to be able to buy the entire United States; they were indeed wealthy.

Since they had money, Su Cheng would naturally seize any opportunity to profit.

The main thing was that they hadn't even asked Su Cheng exactly where he had lost so much money.

In fact, these were just the losses calculated based on the profits that would have been earned during this period of suspended business. Since the products hadn't been sold, they hadn't actually lost anything, only some rent and labor costs.

As for those contract breach issues?

Now it was caused by the Japanese government, so if they wanted breach of contract fees, they could go to the Japanese government!

Japan's wealth made it easier for Su Cheng to make money.

Japan's GDP had already exceeded one trillion US dollars.

During the same period, China's GDP was less than 50 billion US dollars, only a mere 491 US dollars.

By comparison, one could see how wealthy Japan was at that time.

Of course, Su Cheng also knew that all of this was just a beautiful bubble.

Investment was for making more money.

Originally, Su Cheng had thought that after the Yamakou-gumi incident, he might have to withdraw from the Japanese market. This possibility was unlikely, but it still existed.

But according to the Japanese government's response, the Japanese government had already yielded, so his industries would naturally no longer need to withdraw from the Japanese market.

Since he had promised the other party, Su Cheng did not break his word.

He first called Zhang Zhongmou, Wei Li, Li Yihui, Alfred Tom, Gordon Moore, and others, asking them to restore their businesses in Japan. He also asked Yang Chaoye to contact companies such as HP, IBM, and Motorola, telling them that the products produced using the technology here could continue to be sold in Japan.

“Boss, has there been any reply from Japan? You're letting their operations return to normal so quickly?” Yang Chaoye asked with some surprise.

“Yes, we are getting closer and closer to the result we want. Since that's the case, it's better for us to show some goodwill. After all, the other party is an economic power, and we can't offend them too much.”

After that, Su Cheng explained in detail the things Tanaka Saburo discussed with him to Yang Chaoye. After all, Su's Group was the center of this matter, and Yang Chaoye was the president of Su's Group, so he had the right to know.

“Boss, this time, we can be said to have completely offended Japan. Fortunately, they suffered heavy losses because of this matter and had no choice but to admit defeat,” Yang Chaoye said with a wry smile.

In business, harmony is the most valuable thing. In Yang Chaoye's view, Su Cheng was actually a bit impulsive this time, using the power of one person to fight against the power of a country.

However, Su's Group suffered such humiliation in Japan and no one helped, so it seemed that this was the only thing that could be done. It was also for this reason that when Su Cheng said he wanted to do this, Yang Chaoye, as the president, did not object.

Moreover, even Zhang Zhongmou, Wei Li, and others did not object.

After all, this time, Japan's actions were indeed too unreasonable.

And these companies were all Su Cheng's private companies, so even if he didn't participate in management on a regular basis, he had the right to decide on such important matters.

It was precisely because of this that Su Cheng's resistance against Japan went so smoothly.

“You should also be very clear about the situation at the time, and this was the only thing that could be done. This is the first time in the five years that I, Su Cheng, have entered the business world that I have been so aggrieved. I'm not used to them, anyway, they have already admitted defeat. As for whether they will give me trouble in the future, I can't control that much. What's more, my strength will only become stronger and stronger, and my influence will become greater and greater. At that time, even if I do something wrong, they will have to give me face!” Su Cheng said indifferently.

“That's the principle. Okay, Boss, I understand. I'll go and notify the others and let them restore their business in Japan as soon as possible. After all, although HP, IBM, and other companies cooperated with us this time because of the contract, we also owe them a small favor accordingly, and the longer the time, the bigger the favor. It's good to end it now!” Yang Chaoye said.
