Yukinoshita's Correction Method

Haruno Yukinoshita: "..."

Yukino Yukinoshita pinched Dong Yunshan's leg, then turned to her mother. "Regardless of which plan is adopted, it's certain that Cloud Snow Tea is my sister's personal platform. Yunshan and my sister had a private conversation before, so Mom should also have a chance to talk to my sister alone."

Snow Mother tilted her head. "Do you want me to interpret this as a declaration of war?"

"Since neither of us agrees with the other..." Yukino Yukinoshita a slight breath, meeting her mother's sharp gaze, "Then let's prove each other right through our actions."

Shizuka Hiratsuka, and she could hardly contain her smug smile.

"..." Snow Mother lowered her eyelids slightly, and murmured with a sigh, "You really are not suited to inherit the family business."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "... I am fully aware of that as well."

"That's enough for today." Snow Mother stood up. "You should all go home early too... Oh, by the way..."

Snow Mother stopped at the door. "Yunshan, you could have said these things after the wedding."

"I want to marry Yukino." Dong Yunshan held Yukino Yukinoshita's hand. "I just want to marry her."

Snow Mother unfolded her folding fan. "As expected, you're not suitable either."

"Huh?" Dong Yunshan raised one eyebrow. "Just noticed?"

"Now it feels a bit more suitable." Snow Mother covered the corners of her mouth with her folding fan. "If only it were properly corrected... hmm."

Dong Yunshan: "Hmm?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka followed and escorted them outside.

Now that Yuki's mother was really gone, Komachi Hikigaya patted her chest with lingering fear. "That was terrifying... She felt like a villain from a movie, even scarier than when we were talking about the ball."

"After all, it concerns family matters..." Yui Yuigahama smiled, "But in this way, it should be considered settled—although I don't understand what they're talking about."

"In short, although it deviated somewhat from what we expected..." Yukino Yukinoshita smiled, "We successfully achieved our goals of isolating the family and allowing my sister to become independent."

"Oh~" Iroha Isshiki tapped her fist against her palm. "I was wondering why you suddenly stopped talking when we were having a good chat. The main goal has been achieved, so there's no need to dwell on the details anymore."

"I mainly just wanted to catch my breath..." Dong Yunshan sighed deeply, "After talking with my mother-in-law for so long, now when I listen to you all speak, I feel like there's a hidden meaning in your words."

"If every word she says is loaded with hidden meaning..." Saki Kawasaki frowned slightly, "Then what did she mean by asking everyone about their dreams?"

Yukino Yukinoshita gently shook her head. "It might be hinting at something, or it might be trying to find out what we're thinking, or maybe..."

Komachi Hikigaya blinked. "She wants to catch her breath too?"

"Is it really possible?" Iroha Isshiki muttered softly, "I feel like on the way back, she'll be talking to Haruno Yukinoshita- senpai about family and business and stuff."

"I don't know what they were talking about," Shizuka Hiratsuka appeared in the doorway. "But it's time for you to go home."

-

Almost as soon as the car started, Snow Mother asked, "What are your thoughts on the plan?"

"The plan is feasible, but there are still many issues to consider during its implementation." Haruno Yukinoshita organized her thoughts. "First, we cannot agree to a fixed equity conversion valuation. The equity conversion valuation must be linked to the next round of qualified financing. We should try our best to make early repayment possible, but this part can be negotiated in exchange for other favorable terms, such as governance rights and anti-dilution clauses."

"The main thing is the limited repurchase right after the conversion of shares," Xue Mu explained in detail. "During this period, we will expand rapidly, raise the valuation, and minimize the proportion of shares converted, while letting those people see the prospects of Cloud Snow Tea and choose to convert their shares, thus leaving their funds behind. Then we will develop steadily, control dividends, and stabilize the valuation. The construction industry is experiencing tight cash flow, and those people will not be able to hold on for long before they sell their shares, at which point we will repurchase them at a low price."

Haruno Yukinoshita stared blankly at her mother. "Will this really work?"

"Only this way will work." Snow Mother looked at her daughter with a deep gaze. "Finding what you want to do isn't easy, so you can't waste too much time and energy on resistance. It only makes sense to go to this extent with those who try to stop you—no matter who they were before."

Chapter 830 Reversing the Heavenly Gang

"I know..." Haruno Yukinoshita paused abruptly, then looked up to meet her mother's eyes, "I'll think about it some more."

"Very good." Mother Xue nodded in satisfaction. "Now that you've decided to make your own decisions, you need to think things through more carefully."

"Mom too~" Haruno Yukinoshita paused for a moment, then gave a mischievous smile. "If you want me to help you with anything in the future, you'd better think carefully about how to communicate with me."

"You talk as if you would have done anything perfectly the past." Snow Mother pressed her temples as if she had a headache. "You didn't execute the plan properly this time either."

"You didn't explain it clearly to me," Haruno Yukinoshita scoffed. "Even during the execution phase, they've already stopped trusting me."

"Our family's political and business connections have brought many conveniences, but also many problems." Xue's mother looked out the car window. "Twenty years ago, when your father took over the family business, the construction industry was at its peak, with investment reaching approximately 84 trillion yen. A few years ago, it was only 42 trillion yen, and it has only slightly recovered in the last two years. But like the weather today, it still feels cold—last year, the number of businesses that closed down reached an unprecedented 30,000, with the construction industry accounting for nearly 30%."

"But those are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), right?" Haruno Yukinoshita had also seen the relevant data. "The industry recovery has led to soaring raw material costs, and the pressure from labor shortages and rising labor costs has overwhelmed SMEs with weaker risk resistance."

These small and medium-sized enterprises could have survived for a while, and even made a profit.

But everyone felt that the industry was about to recover, and everyone needed raw materials and labor. Small and medium-sized enterprises couldn't compete with large enterprises and were directly frozen to death in the early spring of the industry's recovery.

"The network of interests centered Yukinoshita is also composed of small and medium-sized companies," Yukinoshita sighed softly. "If you were one of them, what would you do?"

"Let's unite with other small and medium-sized enterprises and get the most influential stakeholders to come up with a solution," Haruno Yukinoshita offered. "This is precisely where the responsibility and value of the stakeholders lie. If they do nothing, the entire network of interests will fall apart."

"From the perspective of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), a single project from a large enterprise can keep a small business alive for a long time. But the problem is that there are too many small businesses; one is far from enough. If large enterprises have no other options, SMEs can only accept their fate. But..." Xue Mu paused, not continuing.

"Political and business connections." Haruno Yukinoshita continued, following her mother's train of thought, "In their eyes, having political connections means that a policy can be introduced, or a public works project like commercial district construction or facility renovation can be undertaken to easily solve the current problems."

But... it's not that easy.

The fiscal budget is limited; if public works expenditures are higher, other expenditures will have to be lower.

The construction industry has recovered, but other industries also need to survive.

If you want to take more of the budget, you have to offer something in return; otherwise, you're going against everyone.

The best way is to consult with someone.

You help me come up with a policy that benefits the construction industry, and I'll help you out in other ways.

Otherwise, this policy cannot be implemented.

Then a new problem arose.

What can Yukinoshita Family offer in exchange for benefits to ensure the implementation of policies favorable to the construction industry and thus stabilize the network of vested interests that has become unsettled due to the industry's recovery?

Cloud Snow Tea.

The three stores consume a considerable amount of fruit every day, especially this winter.

Chiba Prefecture is a leading pear-producing region, boasting the highest pear production in the country.

Cloud Snow Tea's Freshly Stewed Whole Pear, launched this winter, reflects the high demand for pears.

While it may not completely solve the pear sales problem, Cloud Snow Tea, with its stable procurement plan and huge demand, is a very reliable sales channel that can effectively alleviate the sales pressure in the fresh food market.

Signing long-term procurement agreements can help pear farmers lock in a portion of their sales volume and prices, thus protecting their basic income from seasonal fluctuations in market prices.

This is only three stores.

Thirty companies?

Even three hundred...

At that point, let alone getting the Agricultural and Forestry Faction to help introduce policies, it wouldn't be a problem to get Agricultural and Forestry Faction to directly give up a portion of their fiscal budget.

In other words, the problems currently faced by the Yukinoshita Family and Yukinoshita Family related stakeholders due to the recovery of the construction industry can be resolved through the expansion of Cloud Snow Tea.

That's why Snow Mother... no, that's not right.

Haruno Yukinoshita discovered the problem. "The expansion of Cloud Snow Tea doesn't require the Yukinoshita Family to obtain Cloud Snow Tea. As long as we help Cloud Snow Tea complete its expansion, why do we need to...?"

It's gotten so unpleasant.

"You realize this because you're with the Yukinoshita Family," Yukinoshita's mother asked. "If you were a small or medium-sized enterprise, and you came to me for help, and I suggested you invest in another company in another industry, what would you think?"

"The pressure is already immense, and now you want me to invest in another company..." Haruno Yukinoshita, adopting the persona of a small and medium-sized enterprise manager, said, "A powerful family with influence in both the political and business worlds, whose every penny could sustain me for years, is actually eyeing this little bit of money of mine?"

"What if you were a large corporation?"

"The current problem isn't so easy to solve. If the Yukinoshita Family doesn't handle it well, someone could seize the opportunity to replace Yukinoshita Family in the business world... and even the political arena." Haruno Yukinoshita recognized the seriousness of the problem. "Therefore, neither those who understand the situation nor those who don't are willing to help."

So what should we do?

It's all about interests.

When Dong Yunshan sought investment and someone was willing to invest, it meant that investing in Cloud Snow Tea could indeed make money. This also proved that the Yukinoshita Family wasn't after the money in the pockets of small and medium-sized enterprises, but rather wanted to help everyone make money.

This further demonstrates that Yukinoshita Family has the ability to solve problems, and large companies have no chance to replace it, so they can only obediently follow behind and invest.

This is also one of the main reasons why Yuki's mother didn't directly tell Haruno Yukinoshita and Dong Yunshan about her needs.

There is a very simple solution to this series of problems: Dong Yunshan gives the Cloud Snow Tea to the Yukinoshita Family.

With Cloud Snow Tea now under the Yukinoshita Family's control, the interest groups are naturally more willing to invest.

During the expansion process, opening stores involves construction-related matters, so it's natural to seek out members of interest groups, which results in a surge of orders without the need for policy intervention.

After weathering this period, the market stabilized, and Cloud Snow Tea began to turn a profit, allowing the interest groups to receive dividends and continue operating.

At first glance, it seems to have no problem, but upon closer inspection... it's a bit contrary to the natural order.

Chapter 831 Still Haven't Given Up

The industry recovery has a significant impact on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), but benefits large enterprises.

The construction company Yukinoshita Family did not encounter any difficulties; the trouble lay with the interest groups composed of small and medium-sized enterprises within the network of interests.

When interest groups encounter problems, they turn to Yukinoshita for help.

In order to maintain the network of interests, Yukinoshita proposed a corresponding solution.

However, vested interest groups are unwilling to cooperate.

Therefore, Snow Mother needs to gain the trust of the interest group by stealing her son-in-law's Cloud Snow Tea, in order to provide them with financial support...?

The leader should set tasks for the younger brothers, but the younger brothers should also be sensible.

Even if they don't risk their lives for their boss, they should at least obey orders.

Now, when this underling needs his boss to handle things, he doesn't listen to him at all.

Will these underlings help their boss when he encounters trouble in the future?

Upon Haruno Yukinoshita finally understood why her mother had made such a scene.

Tell Dong Yunshan directly that the Yukinoshita Family needs Cloud Snow Tea) to solve their current problem...

First of all, as a parent, it's very difficult to say this.

Secondly, Dong Yunshan is not given, the outcome will be even more unpleasant.

Even if Dong Yunshan is willing to give it... it still won't work.

This time, the interest groups didn't listen and even received help from the Yukinoshita Family, successfully overcoming the crisis. They'll be even less likely to listen in the future.

The leader should help his underlings resolve their problems, but he also has to discipline disobedient underlings; otherwise, the gang cannot continue to operate.

So when Xuemu proposed investing in Cloud Snow Tea, and some members of the interest group were unwilling, Xuemu's plan began.

First, find Dong Yunshan and show him that you're using the marriage proposal to blackmail him into handing over Cloud Snow Tea.

Dissatisfied with this, Dong Yunshan naturally sought investment on his own.

Then, Yuki's mother contacted Sato of Keiyo Finance to invest in Dong Yunshan, with the condition that it be clearly stated that Cloud Snow Tea and the Yukinoshita Family had no transfer of benefits.

In this way, vested interests can no longer obtain branch orders through internal connections and can only compete fairly with other construction companies—meaning they can no longer leech off Cloud Snow Tea.

Cloud Snow Tea received investment and expanded smoothly, the Agricultural Cooperative profited, and helped Xuefu implement policies favorable to the construction industry, resolving issues related to interest groups.

Xue Mu could also say to the interest groups, "We asked you to invest, but you didn't. Now that they've found their own investors, the orders and dividends that were originally yours are gone."

The matter was resolved, and the younger brother was also disciplined.

So... could we discuss this plan with Dong Yunshan? Could we get Dong Yunshan to cooperate and put on a show?

That won't work either.

The situation remains the same; as parents, it's difficult to say these things aloud.

Moreover, from Dong Yunshan's perspective, it's entirely possible that Yukinoshita Family might actually take this charade into reality.

Therefore, Snow Mother had to carry out the plan herself.

"So, it's not that we necessarily want to have an unpleasant falling out with Yunshan," Haruno Yukinoshita, sorting out her thoughts. "It's just that this is the most pleasant way to ensure the smooth execution of the plan."

"Family disagreements are easy to resolve." A helpless expression appeared on Xue's mother's face. "Just let your father talk to him, and once things are out in the open, everything will be fine."

Haruno Yukinoshita tilted her head. "If we had talked it out, none of this would have happened."

"That's right." Xue's mother sighed. "Your father brought Ito from Keiyo Finance to dinner with Yunshan, but before they could even get to the conversation going, Yunshan left."

Haruno Yukinoshita: "Ah..."
