Chapter 488 The Game Begins
After hearing Lian Yi's words, the four lions focused their eyes on her face, waiting for her explanation.
Lianyi rubbed his brows and sighed:
“I am Yun Yi now, and I want to be the only one in the world and monopolize the entire Southeast Asian arms market.
The Zhou family is not stupid. They revealed these things obviously to lure me into the trap. If I covet the high profits, I will slow down the pace of swallowing up the Zhou family, and even cooperate with them to get a piece of the pie.
They just need to give up some of their interests, stabilize the current situation, and then free up their hands to deal with me slowly.
If we act forcefully, they will become desperate and use all their strength to deal with me, and then no one will benefit. This is not our original intention."
"You're right! I suggest negotiating with the Zhou family to achieve the results they want, and then slowly collect evidence."
Gong Fan stood at the window with his arms folded, observing the situation outside and expressing his opinions.
“I think it’s feasible!”
"This can be considered a roundabout tactic."
"I have no objection!"
The three of them agreed with Gong Fan's proposal and then looked at Lian Yi.
"I agree, but since we want to negotiate, we naturally need bargaining chips. Recently, we need to destroy a line in the hands of the Zhou family and grab a batch of goods back."
“It’s a bit crude.”
The lion showed his white teeth and smiled.
"This is the most straightforward way. Sometimes showing your sharp claws will make the other party hesitate. Because we are not afraid of losing, but the Zhou family may not want to fight to the death with rough people like us."
"You are quite right."
After reaching a consensus, Shizi began to plan specific actions. Malu was responsible for collecting information, Xuan Si was responsible for investigating the action route, and Gong Fan continued to protect Lianyi and went out to Zeng Group on a daily basis, acting like a female president.
After Lianyi secured her position as the boss, she conducted an inventory of the entire Zeng Group. For those who took the money but did not do anything or were relatives of the rich, she simply paid them three months' salary and kicked all these parasites out.
Then he found a headhunting company, hired professional managers and financial directors at high salaries, reshuffled the entire Zeng Group, standardized its operations, and completely separated it from the arms business, beginning the first step of whitewashing.
Gong Fan had been following Lian Yi all along, and he saw all of this clearly. After the Zeng Group got back on track, he finally couldn't help but ask:
"Why are you working so hard to do all this?"
"Of course, we want to grow bigger and stronger, and become a real boss! We need to run the company properly, pay taxes as usual, and make a profit!
After the arms business is divided, it must be controlled in our hands. Not to mention the profits, it will be of great help to the research of advanced weapons."
Ripple said lightly.
"You want to bypass the Special Crimes Investigation Division and cooperate with the military."
"I have this plan. As long as I can contribute my strength in a different way, even if it's in the dark, it doesn't matter. If I keep going, I think I will definitely gain something."
Ripple replied with a smile.
"So, you placed an order with Felix a while ago to get a batch of new goods."
"yes."
Gong Fan was silent for a moment, then said:
"You can guarantee your original intention, but what about the people after you? The risk is too high. If something goes wrong, you will definitely be implicated, and no one can protect you at that time."
"I can stick to my bottom line. As for who will take over this business in the future, it's not me who will choose. It's your superiors who will decide. I have never thought of passing on such a dangerous business to my children."
Lianyi shrugged, indicating that she only did her own thing and it was none of her business.
That night, the four of them held a meeting away from Lianyi. Gong Fan talked about Lianyi's recent actions and intentions and wanted to hear everyone's thoughts.
“Some things are not all black and white, just like weapons. If they are used to defend territory and citizens, they represent justice. But if they are used for aggression and oppression, they are a symbol of destruction. It mainly depends on the person who uses it, or the ability of the person at the helm.
Lianyi is very conscious and has a long-term vision. Her ideas are not empty talk. The army had thought about this before, but there were no suitable candidates. After all, the difference between them, one is black and the other is white, is too obvious.
Just like us, we used our status as retired soldiers to successfully join the mercenary group. Over the years, it was also very difficult to collect intelligence.
Lianyi is different. She is not a soldier, or even a police officer. She is truly a blank slate. Her clear thinking and the judgments she makes are in line with her personality. We cannot compare to her in this respect. "
"Do you agree with her idea?"
"I will contact Captain He. For now, our priority is to protect her and assist her in completing her mission."
"clear!"
The three of them said in unison.
Not long after, He Yi received information sent by Lion through special channels.
After half a month of careful planning, Lion and his men spent an entire night, with the cooperation of the anti-drug police, to cut off the drug trafficking route between the Zhou family and MD, seized a batch of 500 kilograms of goods, and then escaped unscathed.
Zhou Zijue didn't receive the news until the next day after the incident. He was so angry that he smashed an antique vase in his office.
"Yun Yi is trying to steal business from our Zhou family?"
"I don't know, but she acted too quickly and didn't leave any clues. Our goods haven't appeared on the market yet, so it seems that they are still in her hands. Otherwise, we..."
Zhou Zijue's confidant made a snatching gesture.
"I do want to, but she is usually followed by four bodyguards who protect her very well. Do you think the Shan family and the Jian family have never tried to do anything to her? They just didn't succeed once."
Zhou Zijue sat in his father's chair, a fierce look flashing across his face.
"I'm going to go visit my father and see if he has any good ideas. You go get the car ready."
"yes!"
The confidant went downstairs to prepare the car, and came back five minutes later with a gold and black invitation in his hand.
"Master, this is the invitation sent by Yun Yi."
"What do you mean? Negotiate with me alone?"
"It seems to be about the name change of Zeng's Group. She invited many people and held a grand banquet to officially inform everyone that Zeng's Group now belongs to her, Yun Yi, and has been renamed Yun Yi Group."
After listening to his subordinates' explanation, Zhou Zijue opened the invitation, which stated that on the last day of this month, Yun Yi would host a banquet in the banquet hall of the former Zeng Group to attend the renaming ceremony.
"She is quite generous. She eats so openly."
"Master, shall we go?"
"Go, why not? Go and see what she is up to."
At the same time, news about the change of ownership of Zeng Group spread on the street, and many people received the same invitation.
In an office building opposite Zeng Group, the man who was previously in charge of liaison was now observing the top-floor office of Zeng Group through a telescope.
Because he was slacking off and had connections, he was kicked out of the job. He was so angry that he had to find another way out. He rented an office opposite Zeng's company so that he could continue to monitor Yun Yi's whereabouts.
See you tomorrow~
