### Chapter 548: Mr. Ye, You're Here? Okay, I'll Be Right There
Kiichiro Toyoda was the founder of Toyota Motor Corporation. Under Toyota's umbrella, several sub-brands were established, utilizing Japan and the United States' unique high-precision machine tools and exclusive carbon fiber materials to produce durable and robust Toyota vehicles. These vehicles were then exported worldwide, propelling the company to become one of Japan's top automotive companies. The current president of Toyota, known in Japan as the "Shachou," is Akio Toyoda, Kiichiro's grandson. The man before Ye Xiu, named Heiji Toyota, was clearly a family member.
Coincidentally, Ye Xiu had previously acquired shares in Toyota Motor Corporation.
"Grandfather?" Ye Xiu smiled at Heiji Toyota. "Call Akio Toyoda over. I want to see him."
"How dare you! Do you think the president is someone you can see just because you want to? Who do you think you are?" Heiji Toyota laughed angrily.
"Alright, Mr. Heiji, let's not waste time with these Chinese. We have our own matters to attend to," Kohei Horikoshi interjected. He then turned to Ye Xiu and smiled, "It seems you know about the manga incident. Yes, I did use names from human experiments at the time, but I later apologized. However, you Chinese people wouldn’t let it go. Although losing that revenue from China was unfortunate, my manga is still very popular in Japan. Do you know how much I earn in a year? 800 million yen! That loss is insignificant to me! The Chinese market? Who needs it!"
Kohei Horikoshi was arrogant and overbearing. Wu Hengjian immediately rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight. Li Qilin's face turned icy. This person, not only mentioning that incident in front of them but also showing no remorse and being so arrogant, infuriated her.
Ye Xiu remained calm. Looking at the arrogant Kohei Horikoshi, he nodded calmly, "Remember what you just said."
"Heh, whatever you’ve got, I, Kohei Horikoshi, can handle it!" Kohei Horikoshi retorted arrogantly.
Without further ado, Ye Xiu took out his phone and dialed a number. Soon, the other end answered with broken Mandarin, "Hello, Mr. Ye! I'm very pleased to receive your call. When do you have time to visit Japan?"
The person on the other end was none other than Akio Toyoda, the current president of Toyota Motor Corporation. Despite his high position, his dealings with various countries had taught him some Mandarin, albeit limited to phrases like "hello" and "goodbye." However, just two days ago, someone had purchased 30% of the company's shares at 50% above the market price, instantly becoming the second-largest shareholder. And this new shareholder was Chinese.
This was a significant matter. In today's increasingly tense international relations, Akio Toyoda knew the consequences of offending this new shareholder. At the very least, he couldn't afford any problems now. He had been frantically learning Mandarin for the past two days to make a good impression on Ye Xiu. Otherwise, if Ye Xiu became displeased and dumped the shares at a low price, Toyota's market value would plummet. Worse, it could break the company's cash flow, severely affecting its development.
So, he was extremely cautious. The moment he received Ye Xiu's call, he greeted him warmly in Mandarin.
"Mr. Ye, why are you silent? Of course, if you're busy, I can visit you in China," Akio Toyoda continued.
Ye Xiu finally spoke calmly, "Come to Ohori Park. I'm waiting for you here."
"Mr. Ye, you're in Japan? Okay, I'll be right…"
The call was abruptly cut off. Akio Toyoda's expression changed slightly. His sharp business instincts told him that something bad might be about to happen.
"Someone, get to Ohori Park!"
