Outside the conference room. Ai Fei and Carl's conversation was going on: "... Of course, this is just some of the ways I thought of during my time in Japan. Can you agree to such an arrangement?"

"Agree is agreement, but are you sure you want to do this?" Carl blinked his blue eyes in disbelief: "Are you sure... want me to take such a position?"

"Why not? Mr. Schmidt..." Ai Fei's sudden formal name made the German stunned: "Yes?"

"Please forgive me for being rude and rude in my language. I think you are not a very qualified designer. Even if your clothing has been recognized by some market, it can be clearly seen from the market reaction you, Ayumiya Jingko, brought me when she came back. So, I think instead of continuing to move forward in this field of designers who don't see any brightness, you might as well let go of your arms and consider becoming a formal manager of the company?"

"But...but, why? Do you really think my design is bad?"

"This is not my perception. Lianzi? Miss Lianzi?"

"Ah, hey!"

"Pour us a cup of coffee, Carl, do you want it?"

"Uh...thank you. Miss Lianzi."

He picked up the coffee cup but did not send it to his mouth: "Carl, I am a Japanese. I have experienced a lot of things in the United States to achieve such a little success. Such success is still a long way from what I imagined. Do you know? By the time you and Arimiya Science Institute in the United States, Ike's total sales in the United States had reached a high of more than 24.9 million US dollars, leaving large companies such as Chanel far behind."

"...But what happens later? What kind of development and design and market concepts are needed to keep the company's performance in such high growth? Is it just to design clothing constantly and then hold exhibitions like fashion week? This is not possible! Carl, this is absolutely not possible! When there are more and more such activities, when people become more familiar with each other and lose the freshness at the beginning, the company will start to decline. At that time, do you think my design can still be as popular as today...I mean, do you mean the market's enthusiasm reaction?"

Carl smiled bitterly: "Do you think I am the one who can solve such a problem?"

Ai Fei suddenly made a face: "No, you are not. I am."

"Sorry, what did you say?"

"I said, I am the one who can come up with many ways to keep the company moving forward. At least, I still have many ideas and ideas so far. But only such an idea is not enough. I need someone to help me implement and implement these plans, do you understand?"

"You mean, I will do it?"

"It's almost like that." Ai Fei looked helpless: "Karl, you know, I'm a Japanese. For Americans, Japanese are partners who can cooperate with them, but not the kind of person who can be dated as friends. So, sometimes I need an agent, you! There are many occasions, and you can achieve much better results than I can come forward, and it's much faster. The only problem is your German accent, but now, this doesn't seem to be a problem, right?"

"Yes, sir, this is no longer a problem."

"You, who are both white like Americans, will have a greater advantage in the business world than me. So, you need to do all this for me."

He explained for a long time, but Carl didn't seem to understand: "Mr. Ike, the situation you said, even if it does exist - in my heart, does not agree with your statement - will not become an obstacle? If there are some plans as you said, even if you are a Japanese, it should not be a reason for them to refuse to cooperate with you, right?"

"It was originally. But because I have to gradually shift my focus to Japan, it is impossible to put all my time and energy into the United States. Do you understand?"

"Mr. Ike, are you talking about shifting your focus to Japan? What about the work in the United States? What about the design company?"

"I will continue to do design, well, but the company will not manage it for the time being. If I have the opportunity to become a listed company in the future, I will only serve as one chairman... Well, do you think I can become a chairman?"

Carl was stunned for a moment and suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahahaha! Yes, you can, yes, you can."

Ai Fei scratched his head awkwardly: Is there anything funny about this?

Carl finally stopped laughing: "Sorry, sir, I just think your tone and emphasis are a little funny. Uh, sorry, sir."

"Nothing. That's the case. I will announce the formal appointment in public after returning to the United States. Before that, I will let Ai Miyako go back with you... Miss Reiko?"

"Hi!"

"You go next door if their interview is over. Let Aomiya come over."

Reiko Kato looked at her head and immediately turned back: "They have finished the interview, but Arimiya-kun is out."

"Go out? Do you know where she went?"

"This... I don't know."

"Okay, wait..." Only half of the sentence, the office door was suddenly pushed open vigorously, and a group of people led by Fuji Takeuchi rushed in: "Mr. President (Ai Jun, Xiao Ai Jun), we succeeded!"

Ai Fei immediately stood up: "Success? We really succeeded?"

"Hi Yi! Mr. President, I just received a call from Iris. Ai Shi Construction Company and Angus & Philip Construction Company from the United States have obtained the final pass and are entering the third round of preparation period!"

"yes!" Ai Fei made a victory move indifferently: "Great! Great!" At this point, he suddenly walked out from behind the desk and walked to everyone: "Fujikun, Nishiokun, Sasakikun, and Cangyuankun who is not here now, very... Thank you very much! Because of your work and hard work..." His voice choked: "Anyway, using the words I said to Fujikun back then to express my mood, I am very, very satisfied. Thank you very much!"

Looking at him bowing deeply, everyone hurriedly returned the greeting: "Mr. President, if we had not returned, we would never be able to do all this with our strength. Therefore, if the company can finally become a formal contractor through selection, we should thank you."

Here was cheering for victory, while Kato Reiko picked up the phone: "Hey? Hi I! Please wait a moment! Mr. President, it's Yamato Company and Panasonic."

"Oh." Ai Fei walked over and picked up the phone: "Hey, I'm Ai Fei. Yes, Matsushita Jun, believe me, like you, enjoying such good news with great excitement and joy. Yes, our cooperation can be further developed. Haha... Of course, I am quite optimistic about the final victory. Even if I am Hiroko Sakai, I'm afraid that it will not be possible to choose an American company as the final organizer at this time, right? Haha... OK, I will lead my colleagues to your company to visit you in the day. Yes, goodbye, goodbye."

He handed the phone to Reiko Kato, Ai Fei paused: "Well, Nishio-kun? Sasaki-kun?"

"Hi Yi! Mr. President?"

"Well, how are the materials prepared for the third round of defense and news reporting?"

"Yes, Mr. President, you have prepared as you ask. If this is indeed a defense and news conference held in front of the public, I think Ai Shi will once again contribute a good show to the Japanese people in the last level."

The smile on Ai Fei's face disappeared, as if there was something difficult to solve and it seemed that there was something difficult to solve in his heart. Everyone was gradually attracted by his feelings, and the office became quiet: "Xiao Ai Jun?" This was Ai Zhu Taro talking: "Is there any other problem?"

"Ah, yes, Nishio-kun? Did you say anything else when Iris told you on the phone just now?"

"No. He just said, congratulations to Ai Company. Then he said that if you have time, it is best to meet you with Mr. President before the third round of defense." Nishio looked at his slightly gloomy face and answered carefully.

"Hmph! Americans, you have to do anything!" Ai Fei snorted coldly: "Niyo-kun, Sasaki-kun, stop the preparations for the inquiry of Americans for the time being. If we really arrive at the defense meeting, we will give up our inquiries."

"Eh?" Nishio was shocked: "Mr. President, this is our best chance to attack the other party..."

"I know. But do you think such a big project may really exclude Americans from the outside?" Ai Fei finally figured out the details: "If I thought well, what company this time will enter the final defense must be the result of the pressure from the Americans on the government. Therefore, their names will definitely appear on the list of contractors of the project. Now... I just don't know which piece of cake was given to Americans as a gift. It's a damn nation, and it's profitable to see it. It's like a fly seeing blood!"

"..." Everyone was silent, and no one knew why he suddenly had evil fire?

"Niyao-kun? Do you know when this last defense will take place?"

"Ah, yes. According to the schedule, it will officially start at 1:00 p.m. The final result will be announced to the public by the Chief of the Cabinet in the Cabinet on the morning of next Friday."

"I understand!" Ai Fei nodded: "Everyone will have a rest this afternoon, start tomorrow, prepare for the final sprint, oh, I forgot to say, Tanaka Jun? You go to contact the hotel now, tonight..."

"Mr. President?" He stopped Fuji Takeuchi in the middle of his speech: "If you really want to celebrate, just wait until the last moment of success, right? OK?"
Chapter completed!
