As Erick was led towards the office, he couldn’t help but notice the massive change in the structure. The building that he once remembered as a small, modest structure now towered above him, stretching towards the clouds. Its exterior screamed luxury, with the finest materials used to construct its walls, and the glass front was designed with intricate patterns that sparkled in the sunlight.
Aashi’s voice pulled Erick out of his reverie, and he turned to her, wondering how long he had been gone for. “So how long was I gone for this time?” he asked, his eyes still transfixed on the towering structure in front of him.
.....
“It’s been three months, four days, and thirty minutes since you left,” Aashi replied, her voice brimming with pride. “In that time, the StarDust Group has transformed from a simple group to one of the world’s top conglomerates. I’ve worked tirelessly to ensure that nothing gets in the way of our growing success.”
As Aashi spoke, Erick couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe wash over him. The transformation that had taken place in such a short amount of time was truly remarkable. He wasn’t sure whether to laugh at her silly behavior or praise her for the outstanding performance that had brought them to this point.
Erick stepped closer to the building, gazing up at its towering height. He could feel the excitement building within him, the sense of endless possibility that came with being a part of such a powerful conglomerate. As he entered the building, he couldn’t help but feel like he was embarking on a new adventure, one that would take him to the very top of the business world.
The interior of the building was just as impressive as its exterior, with sleek, modern designs and state-of-the-art technology. Everywhere he looked, he saw evidence of the hard work and dedication that had gone into building this powerhouse of a company.
As Aashi led Erick to his personal office, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of anticipation. She had promised him a space that suited his tastes, and he was eager to see what she had come up with. As they approached one of the cubicles, he could see that it was decked out in a theme that was uniquely his own.
“Here’s your personal office, I made sure it suits your taste and you can feel at ease with the decorations!” Aashi then led them to one of the office cubicles and showed him an awesome themed-designed office only for him. She had not stepped into this office and waited for him to enter.
“Now come here, sit in your boss’s seat!” Aashi pushed him from the back, seeing his dazed look, and made him sit on a very comfortable chair made for a boss of a conglomerate.
“Wow…wow, what a comfortable feeling, what material did you use to make this chair!” Erick asked, feeling so comfortable that he wanted to lazily sit there and just relax.
“Oh, I think it was made from leather we got from a grandmaster level nature beast!” Aashi replied with a nonchalant look, as if it’s not a big deal.
“So, let me get this straight,” he said, raising an eyebrow. “You used leather from a grandmaster level nature beast to make a chair for me to sit on? What kind of beast was it, a couch potato sloth or something?”
Aashi rolled her eyes and chuckled. “No, it was actually a pretty fearsome creature. But you know me, I’m all about comfort. And I figured if I’m going to spend all day in this office, I might as well be comfortable while I do it.”
Erick laughed. “Well, I certainly can’t argue with that logic. And I have to admit, this chair is pretty damn comfortable. But if anyone asks, let’s just say it’s made from regular old leather, okay? We don’t want to start a stampede of grandmaster level beast hunters.”
Aashi nodded in agreement. “Agreed. We’ll keep it our little secret.”
As he settled into his new office, Erick couldn’t help but notice the significant transformation that had occurred in the building and the city itself during his absence. He asked Aashi about the changes that had happened with the company.
He knew that a grandmaster level nature beast was a rare and precious material, and he couldn’t believe that Aashi had used it for a chair. He wondered how many people would spit blood if they found out.
But for Aashi, his comfort was obviously more precious than any amount of money.
……
Aashi sat across from Erick, her eyes glinting with pride as she revealed the changes she had made to StarDust Conglomerate. She reached for a file and laid it out before him, explaining the careful thought and consideration that had gone into choosing the industries to be established in each of the five chosen cities.
Tokyo, the bustling capital city of Japan, was an obvious choice for the SD Fashion and Entertainment Industry. With its vibrant culture, bustling streets, and tourist attractions, it was the perfect location to launch a business focused on fashion, entertainment, and culinary delights. Aashi had used her connections and local expertise to establish a strong distribution network and manufacturing channels to ensure that the business was set up for success.
Moving south to Yokohama, Aashi had recognized the importance of international trade and commerce in this major port city. With the establishment of the SD International Trade Industry, she had made it a priority to offer protection and safe transportation for clients, including foreign businesses and expatriates. This was an opportunity she couldn’t let slip by, and she was determined to make the most of it.
As the HQ of StarDust Conglomerate, Osaka was a city that Aashi knew well. She had established SD Shield Securities as the main branch of the company, ensuring the security and safety of all other branches in the conglomerate. But she didn’t stop there – Aashi had also made major investments in other companies in the city, including Camilo Pharmaceuticals, Ais Hotels, Eto Groups, and others, to solidify her control over the city’s economy.
Nagoya, with its reputation for the automotive industry and traditional crafts like ceramics and textiles, was a natural fit for the SD Traditional Craft Manufacturing Industry. Aashi had carefully considered the city’s strengths and made sure to establish a business that would thrive in the local market.
Finally, in Sapporo, Aashi had recognized the city’s unique strengths in food culture and agriculture. She had established the SD Food and Beverage Production Industry to take advantage of the city’s famous Sapporo beer, fresh seafood, and local dairy, vegetable, and fruit production. It was a smart move that would allow her to tap into the city’s thriving tourism industry while also supporting local farmers and producers.
As Aashi finished her explanation, Erick couldn’t help but feel impressed by her strategic thinking and impressive business acumen. He could already picture the bustling streets of Tokyo, the ships docking in Yokohama, the high-tech headquarters of Osaka, the artisans of Nagoya, and the delicious food of Sapporo. Aashi had truly thought of everything, and he knew that StarDust Conglomerate was in good hands.
