"Having someone is enough; there's no need for temporary deployment. Let the people from Singapore contact her. You can arrange for someone to discuss the specific cooperation matters. It's fine to make concessions on the profit aspects, but we must ensure that Dream Butterfly is retained." Standing on a large bridge, leaning against the railing and looking down at the river surface, Yang Xiaoyou casually held a satellite phone with an indifferent expression.
The roaring vehicles passing by completely drowned out his voice.
Yang Xiaoyou's instructions might not be understood by Nobunaga Hideyoshi, but that wouldn't hinder their execution. To him, the entire Hive Security Company was Yang Xiaoyou's private property. Even if he intended to dissolve it, he would only offer suggestions and advice at most.
After making some simple adjustments and listening to some recent news, Yang Xiaoyou hung up the phone and fell into deep thought.
In contrast, the black forces in the Jiangsu and Shanghai region posed a certain level of deterrence and influence. Even if Eighth Master didn't act, after dealing with him, there would still be Ninth Master and Tenth Master. With Yongxing's collapse, the obstacles faced would undoubtedly increase significantly.
Of course, it was precisely because of Yongxing's collapse that the order of the Underground Forces had also become quite chaotic.
During his conversation with Nobunaga Hideyoshi, he received two relatively important pieces of information.
Due to continuous investment in Iceland P, an inconspicuous game company, Hive Security Company had now become its second-largest shareholder. If it weren't for the original group of developers who were adamant about not selling, they might have been able to gain controlling interest.
Even now, they were still far ahead of other shareholders in terms of distance. Recently, for reasons unknown, the current management of P was determined to buy back shares at high prices. Given their original funding situation, this was already a price that felt like a bloodletting.
However, under Yang Xiaoyou's orders, Nobunaga Hideyoshi naturally had no intention of selling. He even diverted considerable liquidity from other shareholders to buy back shares at high prices and hired intelligence agencies to keep a close watch on their movements.
Hearing this news made Yang Xiaoyou quite happy; it seemed there was likely to be a breakthrough. Although there was still some time before the product he remembered would be released, he could already send people to start negotiations. Regardless of how things turned out, he was extending a helping hand during their most difficult time.
The ownership of that technology belonged to them; it didn't matter. However, the rights to use it freely and share profits had to be negotiated properly without giving away too much. They might still consider him a big head in their eyes and secretly transfer the results later.
This was a crucial moment; for something that could rival the Anti-Lock System's emergence, it needed to be firmly grasped in hand. The fact that P could protect its achievements amidst fierce competition showed that their current leadership was quite formidable. A win-win cooperation was undoubtedly the best choice.
The other piece of news concerned his own "partner."
Recently, HLI Company had focused all its energy on GPS-related businesses. It seemed that Naughty Princess's father was worried she might cause trouble and had temporarily taken away her power, pushing her somewhere unknown. In Free Arms World, she had changed from her previous aggressive demeanor to a more stable one.
It appeared as if they had made concessions to AB Alliance.
Hearing this news, Yang Xiaoyou sighed and shook his head. He recalled that Hli had also acquired this additional business, though he wasn't too clear on the details of how it unfolded. However, the outcome was evident: after gradually reaping the benefits of this business, Fia Haek Media ultimately integrated the entire Free Arms World, completely dismantling the former AB Alliance.
Perhaps they were just laying low to avoid trouble for now, but it was only a matter of time before things would explode. It might be that their current attitude had lulled the decision-makers of AB into complacency, leading to their eventual failure.
"It's good that the mischievous ones are keeping a low profile, but I estimate that Europe Aspects will have to slow down a bit to avoid drawing attention. Thankfully, things were sorted out in Golden Bay just in time. Otherwise, we could have been caught off guard," he thought. Given the current situation, it was quite remarkable that Hive Security Company had developed to this point.
They truly held a voice in Free Arms World now. It was foreseeable that as they began exporting equipment from the Chinese Empire, their status would only continue to rise.
After all, aside from the power of the Chinese Empire itself, Hive Security Company was the first foreign entity to obtain agency rights from the Chinese Empire, enjoying far greater freedom than their own military-industrial enterprises.
"Not him. Forget it; someone like him needs to face some setbacks. It's just that the punishment methods were a bit excessive," Luo Guohui said as he stood quietly by the roadside, watching Chen Hao walk past with Huang Ling smiling beside him.
Although he stood there, no one in the surrounding crowd found it unreasonable for someone to be standing on the sidewalk; those who got close unconsciously took a detour around him.
After dismissing Heart's thoughts, Luo Guohui set off toward Pudong Airport.
Neither Chen Hao nor Yang Xiaoyou anticipated that a significant trouble had quietly passed without incident; it seemed that this White House Correspondent appearing in Asia was not merely here for a vacation.
The negotiations for future happiness conducted by Eighth Master went relatively smoothly. Yang Xiaoyou represented Hive Security Company in approaching this fellow to ensure there would be a channel for venting issues and an opportunity to flex their muscles if needed.
This made Eighth Master, who was already accustomed to "mediation," an exceptionally suitable candidate.
After spending Lantern Festival in Shanghai, Yang Xiaoyou bid farewell to Chen Hao's family and boarded a high-speed train. With school starting soon, he needed to prepare for things like winter break assignments.
After Lantern Festival, the entire Z City radiated with new vitality from the New Year celebrations, fully recovering from the festive atmosphere.
"Hey, it's time to pay up," Yang Xiaoyou said coldly after dialing a number. Instantly, it felt like the temperature around him dropped significantly.
"Hehe... no, Boss Yang, Yang Ge, Yang the Elder, can you give me some more time? The New Year's money really isn't enough," Huang Wei's mournful voice came through from the other end of the line. Back when they were at the Tokyo hotel casino, this fellow had foolishly borrowed money at high interest rates and ended up in debt to Yang Xiaoyou along with several other unfortunate friends.
Although several tens of thousands of Renminbi wasn't much for Yang Xiaoyou, who still had the reward from Shinoda Kenichi in hand, he absolutely wouldn't let these fellows off this time. If he didn't make them feel some pain, who knew what problems they would cause in the future.
"Stop talking nonsense. The combined amount of your New Year's money is definitely enough. If it's not, that's fine too; each of you just needs to take a hit from me," Yang Xiaoyou said without leaving any room for negotiation.
After all, these fellows knew that their Force values were 'relatively' high, so now he could threaten them without any hesitation.
Upon hearing Yang Xiaoyou's words, Huang Wei's hair stood on end. He had witnessed this fellow's combat power firsthand; if he were to be 'lightly' touched, it would surely end in tragedy.
Then Yang Xiaoyou tossed the accumulated winter break homework directly onto their heads. Compared to repaying debts and taking punches, they had no complaints about this option and confidently guaranteed that each would tackle the assignments they were best at.
With this troublesome matter resolved through resourcefulness, the remaining time became much more leisurely. Just as Yang Xiaoyou was preparing to drop off his luggage and consider whether to visit Monsoon Shrine, he spotted a captivating figure at his doorstep.
"Master, the procedures have been completed! Hehe, did you miss me?" The charming shadow leaned against his door, perfectly outlining her curvaceous figure beside a suitcase with her alluring legs. Yang Xiaoyou felt a rush of heat below.
Unlike others, the Charming Shadow was originally an enemy; she bore no psychological burdens regarding any aspects. When it came to certain strange matters, she felt no pressure at all. In this regard, he didn't need to suppress anything about this earthly enchantress.
Ahhh, inner persona retreat! Harmony retreat!
