Just as the control operation against the Black Dragon Society was making breakthrough progress, Xin Yi received a call from Huang Mang. On the phone, Huang Mang informed Xin Yi that there were issues in the collaboration between the Three Tiger Group and the Taiwan Li Min Group. The reason was that a new gang had suddenly emerged in Y Country, which had privately reached an agreement with the Taiwan Li Min Group regarding import and export matters, and their terms were much more favorable than those of the Three Tiger Group. This news was unknown to the people of the Three Tiger Group until recently when one of their ships docked at a port in Taiwan, and the Li Min Group unexpectedly proposed a price reduction for daily necessities, stating that they would stop importing through the Three Tiger Group if their price standards were not met.
Such a situation had never occurred during their long-term cooperation. The trade representative from the Three Tiger Group assigned by Huang Mang felt that something was amiss, so he sought Huang Mang's guidance while secretly sending someone to investigate. Eventually, he spent some money to get answers from an executive within the Li Min Group, revealing that just a few days prior, someone from Y Country had met with Jiang Wanhua, the head of the Li Min Group, and it seemed they had reached a consensus. As for the identity of the person from Y Country, the executive was not very clear but knew it was likely a newly established gang with considerable strength; otherwise, Jiang Wanhua would not have abandoned the ongoing cooperation with the Three Tiger Group to work with them.
After listening to Huang Mang's words, Xin Yi was not surprised; perhaps he had already anticipated this day would come. Xin Yi said to Huang Mang, "Second Brother, arrange for someone to go to Y Country. The main purpose is to investigate what this so-called newly established gang is all about. As for trade with Taiwan, let's pause for now. Only when they start cooperating will it be easier for us to investigate."
"Are you saying we should just give up this market?" Huang Mang asked in surprise. "You know we put in a lot of effort to secure trade cooperation with the Taiwan Li Min Group."
"Of course we're not giving up; we're just pausing temporarily. If we don't let them cooperate, how can we know what their intentions are?" Xin Yi replied. "By the way, make sure those investigating primarily look into their drug trafficking routes; that's key."
"Why is understanding drug trafficking routes key?" Huang Mang asked in confusion.
"Hehe, Second Brother," Xin Yi chuckled. "It's understandable for a so-called newly established gang not to know or fear our Three Tiger Group because we are still operating within Heavenly Pride Nation. But think about it: we are collaborating with the Black K Party from Lusang Nation. The Black K Party is the largest gang in the world. Do you think a newly established gang would have the courage to become rivals with the world's largest gang?"
"What do you mean by that?" Huang Mang still did not understand.
"Hehehe... That's why I told you to primarily investigate their drug trafficking routes. Even if a newly established gang has the courage to oppose the world's largest gang, I don't believe they could establish a distribution network for drug sales worldwide. So..."
"So you suspect this is actually a scheme by the Black K Party," Huang Mang finally understood Xin Yi's words and said, "You believe this so-called newly established gang in Y Country is actually being manipulated by the Black K Party or is simply a branch of it trying to reclaim business that originally belonged to them!"
"Yes, that's what I believe, and it's very likely that my belief reflects the truth because building a drug distribution network is not easy; this has always been done by the Black K Party. So even if there is a powerful gang, they wouldn't have an opportunity to engage in such activities," Xin Yi answered.
"Could it be that they are learning from us and plan to take goods from the Li Min Group and then resell them through the Black K Party's distribution network? That’s also possible," Huang Mang suggested.
"Ha ha, didn't you say that their co-rental conditions with the Limin Group are quite favorable? If that's the case, what do they have to compete with us? Our drug purchase price is lower than theirs, and if the distributor is also from the Black K Party, they have no competitive edge at all. So, they can't possibly adopt this method unless they are originally part of the Black K Party, with no profit margin in between."
After this analysis, Huang Mang finally understood the possible situation and immediately dispatched personnel to investigate the so-called newly established Y Country gang. Xin Yi was pondering why the Black K Party would choose such a method to retaliate. Xin Yi believed this was definitely orchestrated by the Black K Party. It seemed Kobe Bryant no longer cared about openly warring with the Three Tiger Group, but why did he wait until now? Back when he hadn't yet taken down the Taiwan Li Min Group, he could have continued cooperation with the Limin Group using this method. Was Kobe Bryant also waiting for an opportunity? But what kind of opportunity?
Perhaps it was time for him to find a chance to meet Kobe Bryant, the world's largest gang leader. Without understanding what he was thinking, Xin Yi always felt uneasy.
The trip to Yongzhou finally came to a perfect conclusion. Under Xin Yi's arrangement, Dingxiang gradually replaced Zhuge Kong in both the Black Dragon Society and Black Dragon Mining Group, becoming the actual head of both organizations. Xin Yi felt very assured handing everything over to her because ever since their first meeting in Liyuan City, Shen Liwei had surprisingly gotten involved with Dingxiang. After a short period of adjustment, they were now discussing marriage. Dingxiang was marrying Shen Liwei, who happened to be Xin Yi's brother-in-law. This made them family, so what was there not to be at ease about?
However, it was peculiar that Dingxiang was a major figure in the Black Dragon Society while Shen Liwei was an active Lieutenant Colonel and a battalion-level officer, with his father being the commander of the Liaodong Military Region. This pairing was indeed a bit strange, but fortunately, Shen Liwei was a carefree person. Shen Dahai did not interfere with his son's marriage; he didn't want to meddle anymore. At over thirty years old, as long as his son could find a woman to marry, he and his wife would surely be happy. Originally, Shen Dahai had even doubted whether his son was gay. Now that his son finally wanted to marry a woman, it meant grandchildren were on the horizon after all these years of longing. Therefore, who his daughter-in-law was no longer mattered; as long as his son liked her, let him love whoever he wanted.
Good news kept coming. Just as Shen Liwei and Dingxiang decided to get married, another couple within the Three Tiger Group was also planning their wedding: Wang Hao, the general manager of the Three Tiger Group investment company, and his secretary Li Fei. Wang Hao, a genius in capital markets, had practically turned his office into his home; he handled all his daily needs there. For someone like him, only Li Fei would be willing to marry him. Of course, being such a person's bride required one to be prepared for a life spent directly in the office; however, this might not be such a bad thing since it saved money on buying a house.
Regarding capital market operations, Xin Yi had not intervened during this time but trusted Wang Hao's abilities—he had multiplied the investment company's assets tenfold in a short period. What was there to worry about? It wasn't yet time for him to urgently need money; thus more money was just a number for him. He would let Wang Hao continue creating miracles with those numbers.
The investigation on Huang Mang's side quickly yielded results. As Xin Yi expected, that so-called newly established Y Country gang was merely a branch of the Black K Party in Y Country. It seemed that the Black K Party was indeed preparing to counterattack with this move merely intended to create confusion. Did Kobe Bryant really think that the Three Tiger Group was so foolish as not to see through such small tricks? No, this was definitely Kobe Bryant's scheme.
Xin Yi carefully analyzed Kobe Bryant's intentions; he had two main objectives: first, to provoke a direct conflict between the Three Tiger Group and that newly established gang—the Black K Party; second, to incite conflict between the Three Tiger Group and Taiwan Li Min Group. Since he dared to do this, it meant he had made thorough preparations. Engaging in conflict with that new gang represented war against the world's largest gang—the Black K Party—where the Three Tiger Group stood no chance of winning. Conflict with Taiwan Li Min Group meant war against a national regime; similarly, there would be no chance of victory for the Three Tiger Group either. Kobe Bryant was quite ruthless; this forced the Three Tiger Group to helplessly give up on such a lucrative opportunity.
If it were merely about making money, Xin Yi wouldn't want to meddle further in these matters; however, his original intention in controlling Taiwan's import and export trade wasn't solely for profit but for national interests. Therefore, he couldn't allow Kobe Bryant's scheme to succeed.
Alright then, since you want war Kobe Bryant, I will accompany you into battle and see whose strength is greater; only through real competition will we know. The Black K Party is powerful but you can't possibly gather all your members scattered around the world in one place. Xin Yi wasn't afraid of going to war with the Black K Party because he held an ace up his sleeve; perhaps he could even advance his plans through this conflict.
This time they didn't need too many people—just select elite soldiers would suffice; quality over quantity mattered more here. Moreover, they only needed to ignite that fuse. Thus Xin Yi instructed Qin Dali to immediately select twenty skilled brothers and bring along Big Bull, Topology, and Summer Wind while asking Huang Mang to help these brothers arrange their passports for going abroad via sea route where they would meet up with transportation ships from the Three Tiger Group on international waters before heading directly to Taiwan.
Xin Yi first reported the situation to Shen Dahai, and then took Lijie and Roxy on a flight to Lusang Nation, followed by a direct flight from Lusang Nation to Taiwan.
A storm is quietly brewing...
