Chapter 503: 10% Stake in Japanese TV Station?

Xin Feng Golf Course is located in the suburbs of Tokyo, boasting an excellent geographic location. The grass is lush, and the facilities are top-notch, making it the best golf course in Tokyo. It's a place where only those with a certain status can gain entry.

Naturally, it has become the preferred venue for many high-profile individuals for leisure, entertainment, and business discussions.

At this moment, a black luxury car approached the entrance of Xin Feng Golf Course. A young man who had been occasionally glancing towards the gate saw the car's license plate and his eyes lit up. He immediately signaled the gatekeeper to open the gate and quickly ran towards the car.

Seeing this, Wang Qi, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, rolled down the car window.

"Sir, Mr. Fukuhara is on the first golf course. Just drive in, turn left, and you will see him at the end."

The young man said hurriedly.

"Got it, thanks!"

Wang Qi nodded in thanks, then rolled up the window and instructed the driver to follow the route indicated by the young man.

Soon, the car reached the end of the road and parked. After Xia Yu and Wang Qi got out of the car, they saw Fukuhara Kazuya approaching them with a beaming smile. Beside him was a middle-aged Japanese man, following closely.

"Mr. Xia, Mr. Wang, thank you for coming!"

Fukuhara Kazuya greeted Xia Yu and Wang Qi with handshakes, and they responded in kind.

"This is my trusted subordinate, Okawa Kosei, who is currently the President of the Yonghe Fund."

Fukuhara Kazuya introduced the middle-aged Japanese man to Xia Yu and Wang Qi.

"Hello!"

"Nice to meet you!"

After exchanging pleasantries with Okawa Kosei, Xia Yu's eyes flickered, and his mind raced. He had suspected that Fukuhara Kazuya's sudden invitation to play golf with him and Wang Qi had some ulterior motive. Now, with the unexpected introduction of the Yonghe Fund, things were getting interesting.

Let's see what he's up to! Xia Yu thought to himself, deciding to stay adaptable and see what Fukuhara Kazuya was really aiming for.

After some casual conversation, Fukuhara Kazuya led the way and guided Xia Yu and his team into the golf course. They selected their clubs and arrived at the course.

Xia Yu was both unfamiliar and somewhat familiar with golf. Unfamiliar because he had never played it in this life, and in his previous life, he hadn't played either. However, he remembered that many high-profile international company executives preferred to conduct business discussions on the golf course rather than at the dining table like in China.

Thus, his memories of golf were quite extensive! Xia Yu took up his club, found his stance, and swung.

With a "thunk," the white golf ball soared into the air, tracing a perfect parabolic arc before landing and rolling forward.

Fukuhara Kazuya and the others watched intently.

Unfortunately, despite Xia Yu's perfect swing, his lack of practical experience meant that the ball did not reach the hole, stopping just ten centimeters from it.

"Ah, so close, what a pity!"

Wang Qi patted his thigh, expressing his disappointment for Xia Yu.

Fukuhara Kazuya, on the other hand, was full of praise, saying, "Mr. Xia, you're amazing! Your first shot was so close to the hole. If it were me, I'd consider it exceptional if I could get within two meters on my first shot!"

Xia Yu smiled and modestly said, "Just a lucky shot."

Having a common topic is a good start for socializing.

The four of them chatted and laughed, creating a very relaxed and harmonious atmosphere.

Fukuhara Kazuya was overly enthusiastic, frequently praising Xia Yu and Wang Qi, and his compliments seemed genuine.

Xia Yu felt uncomfortable with the excessive flattery but understood that such interactions were a part of business. He decided to engage in the mutual praise to keep the atmosphere positive.

"Mr. Xia, you've achieved such great success at a young age. Every time I think about it, I feel deeply humbled!"

Fukuhara Kazuya expressed with a face full of admiration.

Xia Yu smiled slightly and responded with praise, "Mr. Fukuhara, I'm just an average person with a bit of luck. I'm content as long as I can secure a foothold in Hong Kong, unlike you, who at such a young age is already the Vice President of Sanhe Bank. I believe it won't be long before you become the president of Sanhe Bank, and with Sanhe Bank's special position, you'll definitely be the general manager of the Sanhe Consortium. At that time, I wouldn't even be able to carry your shoes!"

Fukuhara Kazuya couldn't help but smile wryly. Although becoming the general manager of the Sanhe Consortium was his dream, he knew it wasn't as easy as Xia Yu made it sound. He also understood that his current efforts were necessary to build connections with Xia Yu.

"Mr. Xia, you're joking. There are many people more qualified than I am within the consortium. I'm self-aware and know my own limitations."

Fukuhara Kazuya said with pretense.

Xia Yu couldn't help but smile inwardly, knowing Fukuhara Kazuya was being insincere, given his familiarity with Fukuhara Kazuya's past circumstances.

"However, I am very interested in the financial industry. Besides working at Sanhe Bank, I also established the Yonghe Fund, which has achieved some results. Originally, I was quite proud of it, but compared to Jiu Ding Securities, I feel quite inadequate!"

Fukuhara Kazuya continued, extending the topic.

Here comes the main point!

Xia Yu's mind sharpened as he prepared to see what Fukuhara Kazuya's intentions were.

Xia Yu had a rough understanding of the Yonghe Fund. Having spent time researching Tokyo's financial market, he was naturally aware of the Yonghe Fund.

After all, the Yonghe Fund was a relatively well-known private equity investment management company, so Xia Yu wasn't surprised to know about it.

What surprised him was that Fukuhara Kazuya was the mastermind behind the Yonghe Fund!

It seemed that Fukuhara Kazuya had deliberately invited Wang Qi and Okawa Kosei to discuss potential financial market collaboration with him.

"Thump!"

"Great!"

Xia Yu casually made a shot and sank the golf ball into the hole, prompting Fukuhara Kazuya to cheer and applaud.

Xia Yu welcomed Fukuhara Kazuya's interest, or rather, he was glad that Fukuhara Kazuya was finally taking the bait.

But knowing the details was one thing; maintaining the initiative and ensuring his own interests were secured was another.

"Mr. Fukuhara, I'm aware of Yonghe Fund, and I didn't expect it to be your company. Your investment acumen is impressive, and there's a lot I can learn from you."

Xia Yu praised.

Having navigated through several rounds of social flattery, Xia Yu remained cautious. Fukuhara Kazuya knew he needed to make his intentions clear; otherwise, he would end the day disappointed.

Therefore, Fukuhara Kazuya changed the topic directly and revealed today's key offer.

"Mr. Xia, I truly admire you. Not only are you strong in the financial industry, but you also dominate the media industry. I'm deeply impressed!"

"Coincidentally, I have a 10% stake in a Japanese television station. I'm wondering if you're interested?"

Fukuhara Kazuya said with a smile, looking expectantly at Xia Yu, whose reaction was noticeably affected.
