Siheyuan: Cooking journey

Can you think about the problem from this perspective?

He Yuzhu was speechless for a moment. Although these words seemed to sound good, they still made him feel upset.

"Do you think he's avoiding me because he can't bear the responsibility?"

Ye Shan's voice began to tremble. She asked herself and answered, "In fact, I never expected him to be responsible for me."

"I didn't even think about expressing that I liked him."

"Because of our experiences from childhood to adulthood, Ye Ying and I have seen too many vicissitudes of life and have long understood the essence of marriage."

"I never thought about getting married or becoming a mother."

"A woman gives everything in exchange for a home, but what can she really gain?"

"It's just that you become a free servant at home, a machine for bearing children, and you also face the problem that your husband may cheat on you."

"After sacrificing all my youth and beauty for the family, I can only watch my husband find a third or even a fourth woman outside."

"If you really can't stand it anymore and decide to divorce, then all the sacrifices you've made will become meaningless."

"If you try to maintain a marriage, all you'll end up with is a broken heart and an untrustworthy spouse."

"A woman's best efforts only result in a miserable life journey."

"I will never accept such a day."

"Even if I have to be alone for the rest of my life, it's better than living like this."

If I hadn't met that man, I might have remained lonely forever.

After meeting that man, I started to feel concerned, and suddenly I felt less lonely, but my determination has never wavered, and I will still walk the rest of the way alone.

Even if he said he wanted to be responsible for me, I wouldn't agree.

All I want is a spiritual care. I think of him, and he can think of me occasionally. It would be great if we can meet, but it doesn't matter if we can't.

In the past, I didn’t know what I really wanted, but I just didn’t want it to end like this.

He rejected me, so I hope he will always remember that there is someone like me.

After being rejected, I was confused for several days, thinking about forgetting him and never seeing him again.

The moment you called me, I suddenly realized what I really wanted.

I hope that in my lonely life, there can be at least a little bit of beauty, so that he can know that there is a woman who always cares about him.

I was hostile to him and even tried to frame him and pointed a gun at him.

I knew in my heart that if I told the other person about this, he would not believe it.

He had already left, and no one knew where he had gone. Even if I wanted to say something to him, he couldn't hear me.

Could you give him a message for me?

He Yuzhu felt a mess in his heart and his throat was a little dry. After pursing his lips, he said, "Okay, I'll convey it to you."

"Then, then, can I hug you?" Ye Shan asked with a trembling voice.

"You know, you're actually a lot like him. Even though your appearance and voice are different, you're really similar in many ways."

"If you only look at their backs, you can hardly tell them apart; if you only look at their eyes, they are exactly the same."

"Every time I see you, I always think it's him standing in front of me."

"And every time I meet him, I always feel like he has turned into you."

"He has disappeared without a trace and can never be found again."

"Let me hug you like him for a moment, even if it's just for a little while."

He Yuzhu opened his mouth, but felt like something was stuck in his throat.

"If you don't say anything, that means you agree, right?"

"Then I'll take it as your agreement..." Ye Shan said with a hint of anticipation in her tone.

He Yuzhu didn't say anything.

"I have another favor to ask of you." There was a hint of anticipation in her voice again. "I have taken the initiative to hug you twice before, but was rejected coldly both times."

"Can I let you hug me first this time?"

"If you don't say 'no' within three seconds, it will be considered a yes. One, two, three - time's up."

Indeed, the time has come.

He Yuzhu once again felt his breathing becoming difficult.

After a long while, I took a deep breath and finally calmed down a little.

Looking at the figure sitting next to me, I slowly walked towards him.

The distance was not too far, I could touch her just by reaching out my hand.

He Yuzhu stretched out his hand, his fingertips gently stroked the silky skin, trembling slightly but still hugging the other person tightly.

I carefully hold the person in my arms, fearing that I will destroy this fragile and ephemeral beauty. Although I feel the piercing coldness in my arms, I still hope to give him some warmth.

The next morning.

He Yuzhu and Ye Shan visited a relatively small coking plant in Japan.

This coking plant was built under the guidance of German experts and its technological level is among the best in the world.

Shanhai Gang did not invest directly, but indirectly through a local partner in Japan. Their shares are very small, just a small shareholder, can only get some dividends, and have no decision-making power at all.

According to Ye Shan, all Japanese companies related to the steel industry are basically controlled by the three major financial groups - Mitsubishi, Mitsui and Sumitomo. If others want to participate, they can only buy a little bit of stock and make a little money.

He Yuzhu was no stranger to these three conglomerates. They became very famous in later generations. The combination of the three made Japan the world's third largest iron ore resource country.

This is simply a miracle for Japan, which has almost no natural resource reserves and is completely dependent on imports.

It is actually very simple to achieve this, mainly because the three consortiums have a long-term vision and have been purchasing shares of Pakistan Iron Ore Company and Australian Iron Ore Company directly or indirectly for a long time.

Most of the world's high-quality iron ore is in these two countries, so investing in these companies is equivalent to owning iron ore resources in disguise, so that no one can easily cut off Japan's iron ore supply.

This is also the path He Yuzhu plans to take in the future.

However, unlike Japan, which can openly invest in overseas iron ore companies and become the world's largest iron ore holder,

The Red State has special circumstances. If it does the same thing, it will definitely be opposed by capitalist countries. So everything must be done with caution, and even several disguised identities need to be set up to hide the whereabouts.

The three major conglomerates were able to participate and invest in iron ore companies because Japan is part of the capitalist alliance.

Although the Red Country has now established a good cooperative relationship with these capitalist countries, this friendship is more due to the confrontation between the two major powers in the world and the capital camp's hope to win them over.

The Red Country will never be allowed to get involved in strategic resources such as iron ore.

If the big country neighboring us collapses, the Red Congress with the power of the east wind will immediately be regarded as a new threat by the capitalist camp and will be suppressed.

This change will not be too far away, and it will only take about ten years at most.

So we must try to become a member of the iron mining industry before then.

The plan seems simple and straightforward.

But in reality, it is difficult to implement.

The first is the issue of capital. Entering the iron ore mining industry requires a lot of money.

This money cannot come out of thin air, it must have a clear and flawless source background.

Otherwise, those foreign intelligence experts are not pushovers. No matter how deeply hidden, they can find clues through the flow of funds.

From this perspective, any enterprise with any connection to the red state-owned enterprises cannot be used.

Moreover, under such restrictions, a new channel with a relatively clean amount of more than 3 billion must be found.

Considering the huge capital demand is like a mountain standing in front of us, this is undoubtedly even more difficult.

In order to solve these problems.

He Yuzhu kept adjusting his plan. During this visit to Japan, many new ideas came to his mind.

Especially after listening to Ye Shan's explanation of the current situation of the steel industry in Japan, it inspired a bold new idea.

In Japan, six major business groups control more than half of the country's wealth and form the foundation of its business system.

Each group has a business network centered around a core bank and is made up of multiple cross-industry subsidiaries, which is also the embodiment of a large family.

Among the major forces controlling the country's steel industry, the Mitsui Group includes the important Nakamori family; similarly, the Yamamoto family is a key figure in the Mitsubishi Group.

At present, with the death of two important leaders of the Yamamoto family, the huge profit pie they occupy is facing the risk of being divided by other forces.

The once glorious Yamamoto family will probably decline as a result.

If this idea is tried, there is no need for a complicated disguise organization or huge investment; just one person's identity is enough.

The biggest disadvantage of this method is that it takes a long time.

What we lack most is precious time.

So now I have an idea,

He Yuzhu still felt very conflicted about whether to do it this way.

"What are you thinking about?"

Ye Shan asked in the car.

The tour of the coking plant did not take too long. Under the guidance of a local small shareholder, we looked at some equipment, the on-site coke oven, and finally ended the trip after visiting a small room full of old documents and materials.

The return trip was relatively quiet, allowing He Yuzhu to concentrate on thinking. After hearing this, he casually replied: "Nothing..."

"Are you upset that I shouldn't have invited you here?"

Ye Shan lowered her head, still dressed in professional attire and still wearing a mask, but this time she also wore a pair of sunglasses to cover it more tightly.

He Yuzhu glanced at her.

Ye Shan was indeed misleading, but she was not completely lying.

There are no direct flights from Narita Airport to Beijing.

However, there is an international airport called Itami in Edo, and there is a flight to Itami at 11 o'clock.

"I'm just curious as to how you guessed that."

He Yuzhu said in a calm tone.

He was not stupid. Ye Shan's words were so clear, how could he not understand the meaning? If he hadn't really discovered something, he wouldn't have easily come to the room of a man he had only met a few times and was not familiar with.

"After all, their eyes and backs are too similar..."
