Chapter 490: Chapter 490: Evaluation Results

Kuno Hiroo sighed to himself. Whenever he did business with Han Xiaorui, he often found himself at a disadvantage, forced into a passive role.

But it was no wonder. With other people, they were the ones who came to him asking for favors. But with Han Xiaorui, it was usually he who had to ask her for things.

Whether it was ocean fishing or aquaculture, Japan’s technology was highly advanced.

Previously, it was always Hua Country’s side that went to Japan to learn. But in just two years, Hua Country’s fish fry technology had already made great strides.

People who ate the seafood farmed here could clearly taste the difference.

They had tried to make improvements themselves, but without success.

That was why they were now looking to buy the fry and take them back for research.

However, given the precedent with the ornamental fish, Kuno Hiroo wasn’t optimistic. In fact, he suspected they would end up importing these fish fry on a large scale in the future.

"Since you’ve agreed, I’ll make the arrangements on my end. You don’t need to worry about it," Han Xiaorui said with a smile. If a foreign merchant was importing the fry, the price could be higher, and they could earn more foreign currency.

Just yesterday at a meeting in the city, the higher-ups were encouraging exports to earn foreign exchange.

Only with foreign currency could they purchase advanced equipment and import advanced technology from abroad. Without it, it was simply impossible.

Everyone wanted to get into the export business. Not only was it profitable, but there were also substantial export tax rebates.

After they finished their business, Kuno Hiroo smiled. "Congratulations on establishing the Jinshan Bay business district!"

"Thanks!" Han Xiaorui nodded. "It’s finally starting to take shape, but there are still many shortcomings. We’ll continue to adjust and improve it in the future. Have you heard of any good business opportunities lately? Tell me about them."

Ye Feng wasn’t home, so Han Xiaorui was entertaining Kuno Hiroo and just making conversation.

Kuno Hiroo chuckled. "There are plenty of profitable ventures, but they’re unrelated to your field of expertise. Are you still interested?"

Han Xiaorui smiled. "Go ahead and tell me. It doesn’t cost anything to listen."

Kuno Hiroo replied, "Automotive machinery, as well as audiovisual equipment."

Han Xiaorui shook her head and chuckled. "That’s definitely not my area of expertise. I think I’ll stick to the sea!"

Hearing this, Kuno Hiroo asked, "Ms. Han, have you ever thought about buying a large ocean-going fishing vessel?"

Han Xiaorui was taken aback for a moment, then her eyes lit up with anticipation. "We don’t have the right personnel for that, so we’re not thinking about it for now. But maybe I’ll buy one when my children are grown up."

Kuno Hiroo made a mental note: Han Xiaorui would really buy an ocean-going fishing vessel someday.

"Are there any new varieties of ornamental fish lately?" Kuno Hiroo asked, inquiring about the fish that had brought him such huge profits.

Han Xiaorui nodded with a light laugh. "Yes! I happen to be free right now. Let me take you to see them."

’For Han Xiaorui to praise it so highly, it must be a rather valuable ornamental fish.’

He followed Han Xiaorui to the ornamental fish farm, changed into a sterilized suit, and went to the new variety section.

Han Xiaorui pointed to a fish tank. "The old ’goldfish’ weren’t actually gold, but yellow. These goldfish are truly golden."

In reality, this was a type of non-transparent xanthic goldfish, which she had named "Golden Rabbit."

When Kuno Hiroo saw them, he looked like he wanted to press his face right against the aquarium. The sparkling golden color was indeed incredibly rare.

In Japan, where much of Chinese culture had also been adopted, there was a deep-seated appreciation for things from Hua Country.

Gold was the color of royalty—a very noble color.

The moment she had successfully bred the Golden Rabbit, Han Xiaorui knew this type of fish would absolutely sell for a high price in Japan.

Seeing Kuno Hiroo’s reaction, Han Xiaorui became even more certain of her judgment.

"Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful! So noble," Kuno Hiroo said excitedly. "Ms. Han, I want to order these true goldfish."

Han Xiaorui nodded. "Alright. Let’s go over there and sign the contract."

Kuno Hiroo added, "Oh, right. I also want to order the Panda Butterfly Tails and Panda Dragon Eyes this time."

"Fine, we have enough in stock now." Han Xiaorui agreed to all of Kuno Hiroo’s requests. He was basically handing her money, and there was no reason to turn it away. "By the way, there’s another small-to-medium-sized ornamental fish, the Holland Phoenix, that’s quite nice. Through our cultivation, their colorful tails have become longer and even more beautiful."

Kuno Hiroo nodded. "They’re very beautiful. I’ll take some of all the new varieties. I’ll leave the specific arrangements to you."

"Of course," Han Xiaorui replied. "We always do our best to meet our clients’ requests."

At noon, Han Xiaorui treated Kuno Hiroo to a meal in the cafeteria. She didn’t take him home, since Ye Feng wasn’t there, and she didn’t want to host Kuno Hiroo at her house alone.

They signed the contract for the ornamental fish there, then went to the hatchery office to sign for one hundred thousand fry.

Since it was for a trial run, he ordered a certain amount of each valuable species.

Although it wasn’t the five hundred thousand fry he might have been hoping for, this amount was enough for him to report back.

He was now eager to return as soon as possible to prepare the promotional campaign for the "Golden Rabbit."

Not only would businessmen love it, but those in politics would like it even more.

Gold was the color of imperial majesty.

The social atmosphere in Japan was very reserved. Even if people were ambitious, they didn’t dare to show it, and it was agonizing to keep it bottled up.

Raising ornamental fish of such an auspicious golden color would surely scratch an itch for these people.

With good marketing, sales were bound to be excellent.

The domestic ornamental fish market was also booming, with volume increasing year by year. There were shops in nearly every provincial capital and in the more well-known prefecture-level cities.

However, Han Xiaorui’s method was to directly recruit a provincial agent. They would handle the inventory, and how they sold it within the province was their own business.

Although the profit margin was smaller, it saved a great deal of time and effort.

However, as the volume grew, the profits became quite substantial.

All the enterprises under Han Xiaorui’s name were on the right track, running in an orderly fashion.

Today, Han Xiaorui took the day off work. She and Ye Feng, along with Liang Xiaoyu and Cai Xueqin, brought their children to the Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital.

Pingping, An’an, and Cai Wenjun were now six years old.

This was a very important milestone!

Expert Wang personally assessed Pingping, An’an, and Cai Wenjun.

After a full morning of evaluation, they were assessed in various areas such as language, motor skills, and fine motor skills.

Expert Wang was able to determine that the three children did not have autism. Their motor and fine motor skills were excellent, falling within the normal range.

However, there was still one small issue: they had trouble concentrating and were easily distracted.

"Expert Wang, what kind of exercises should the children focus on from now on?" Han Xiaorui asked, her nose stinging as she fought back tears upon hearing the normal evaluation.

Only those who had gone through it could know how much effort the adults and children had put in over the past three years.

Expert Wang smiled. "Congratulations. You have all worked so hard these past three years. They still need to continue practicing their speech—things like public speaking training for children. And of course, you should also add more physical exercise and concentration training."

Han Xiaorui nodded. "It was no hardship at all. As long as my children can be normal, I don’t ask for them to become scientists. I just want them to be ordinary people, able to live their own lives. For my husband and me, seeing them live a simple, peaceful life by our side in the future is its own kind of happiness."

Ye Feng squeezed Han Xiaorui’s hand, overjoyed for Pingping and An’an.
