How to unlock the Presidential Power achievement in Yakuza: Like a Dragon - Definitive Guide

This is unlocked by reaching Rank 1 in the Business Management mini-game. This opens up as part of the story during Chapter 5, and I'd highly suggest doing the entire thing right away. You will get 50-55m Yen in rewards from completing it, which should set you up nicely to buy anything you want and be stocked well for healing items and crafting materials for the rest of the game.
I used this guide as a template for when to purchase/sell certain properties, but other than switching those out from time to time, the gameplay cycle is the same. You want to continue to invest all your money into upgrading businesses and assigning the best possible employees to run them. Be sure to keep 10m Yen available if possible in case the option to purchase advertising comes in, as that will double all your earnings for that period. You'll start out with bronze colored (Normal) ranked employees, and eventually have the chance to hire R, SR, and SSR employees in ascending order. It doesn't matter that much which businesses get which employees, though there are symbols on the cards and the business you can match if you want.
Continue running the profit earnings and after four of them you will have to do a shareholder meeting, which ends up being a bit of a rock, paper, scissors battle. This is really where the employees matter a bit more. You want to make sure you have one of each color: green, red, and blue. Remember that green (stacks of money) beats blue (a building); blue beats red (a person); and finally, red beats green. You will have to do this twice per chairperson. First, they will stand up and yell something at you, and their speech bubble will be a certain color. Use the corrosponding winning color to break their defense, then they will have an associated color on their health bar as well, so use the corrosponding winning color against that. Sometimes the speech bubble and their health color are the same, but that's just random. Defeat enough board members to get your approval to 100% and then you can simply play defense if you'd like, breaking their speech bubble and waiting out the clock for a successful shareholder meeting.
Repeat this process of upgrading businesses, hiring better employees, and nailing the shareholder meetings to continually raise your overall profits and your business ranking. Follow the guide I linked above to help assist in when to swap out business to continue becoming more profitable. Eventually you will reach Rank 1 and unlock this achievement.

This trophy is earned through the business management minigame which is introduced in chapter 5. You will meet Eri and become an owner of Ichiban Confections. You will then be tasked with raising Ichiban Confections' business rank. First you must reach rank 100, then rank 50, then rank 20, then rank 10, and finally rank 1. Basically the business management minigame works like this:
The goal is to reach the target rank by the number of business cycles. A shareholder meeting marks the end of one cycle. The business management minigame is split into 2 sections: business management & shareholder meetings.
For business management you essentially want to use capital to first buy employees to meet the 3 threshholds of the business. Each bussiness requires a certain amount of product, service, and notability. Once you meet the threshhold for each category, go ahead and start upgrading the sales volume to increase the threshhold. You can spend money to invest in the business's various categories which will raise the natural amount of product, service, or notability that the business has. This makes it easier to meet the threshhold. You can also invest in an emplyee to promote them allowing for higher skill levels in each category. However, you must also pay to train them or have them work in order to increase their level to reach those skill levels. Once you max out a business, go ahead and purchase a new one and repeat the process. Make sure that you are spending money to keep your employees happy as well. Employee moods tend to lower after every 2-3 business days. You can press
on the employee page to cure all employees at the same time. Eventually you will reach a point where you will want to sell an old business and buy a new one that has a chance for higher profits. Eventually it just becomes a game of earning money to then put back into better employees to increase their stats or putting it into a business to increase stats and threshholds. After around 5-6 business days, you will be invited to a shareholder meeting.
Shareholder meetings seem complex, but are actually the easiest part of this minigame if you know how they work. Basically you get a number of shareholders who are going to ask you questions. You want to have a team of employees that is capable of answering their questions effectively and pleasing the shareholder. Questions/Answers work in a rock, paper, scissors fashion with there being 3 categories, where one type beats the second type and is weak to the third type. You want to use an employee with a type the shareholder is weak against so that you can break through the question faster. This is because you only have a limited time to answer the question, and using an employee costs motivation (the team meter at the bottom). Motivation builds naturally, but you obviously don't want to use it all at once because if you are forced into a question with a shareholder, you have to be able to at least break through their question so you do not lose approval rating. Employees have different stats, but the most important ones are type, cost, and charisma. All shareholder questions feature 3 points you must break through. Using an employee breaks through 1 point, but using an employee with a type they are weak against will break through 2 points instead. Therefore, when you engage a shareholder the strategy is always the same. You use an employee they are weak against to break through 2 points, then you use your lowest cost employee to break through the final point. After that, you enter a sort of damage phase where you please the shareholder instead of breaking through their question points. This is where charisma comes in. The higher an employee's charisma, the more they will please the shareholder with a single use. You get 4 employees to take with you, so you essentially want 1 of each type, then a 4th employee with the highest charisma. Besides all that, answering questions and time passing builds up the apology gauge. You can press
to use the apology gauge which damages all shareholders and even stuns them at level 2 and 3. Level 3 stuns for longer and honestly has a cutscene that makes it worth using.
You can complete substories to recruit more people to your business but the game provides you with everything you need to succeed without all of that. As long as you are making sure to upgrade your businesses and meet all of their threshholds, you should be earning a nice amount of profit.

Some other tips:
- Always invest in advertisements. They give you a ridculous increase in profit that you will more than make back during your first day of business
- A solid party for ANY shareholder meeting includes Omelette, Eri's mother, Miyakuni (fully upgraded is better), and any low cost employee type (red icon). Omelette is a business type (blue icon) and the lowest costing employee in the whole minigame so she is great for breaking the remaining shareholder point after you attack with the the type they are weak against. If they are weak to business type then even better for you. Eri's mother is a low cost profit type (green icon), and a low cost employee type (red icon) means all your types are covered. Fully promoted Miyakuni has 800 charisma which is very high so she is great for pleasing the shareholders once their points are broken.
