North of Tianjing City, Hong Family estate, Forest Capital.
Hong Dali's father, Hong Weiguo, and the Hong Family's Old Elder, Hong Tu, Second Elder, Hong Wei, and Third Elder, Hong Ying, sat in a small conference room, discussing the matter regarding Jaban State's Toyoda Conglomerate's young master, Ko Gohon, and Hong Dali's contact.
"Dad, what do you think about Ko Gohon and my Dali's meeting this time?" Hong Weiguo frowned as he looked at a document on the table. "Toyoda Conglomerate had a blood feud with us back then. It's definitely not a good thing for him to come here to look for Dali."
"The feud between our Hong Family and the Toyoda Family isn't just one or two generations." Hong Tu sighed and said, "Back then, it was because of them that three of our Hong Family's genius generals died in battle, directly causing us to leave the core of Heavenly State's military. Now that Ko Gohon has come here, he definitely doesn't have any good intentions. It's just that it's an era of peace now, so he doesn't dare to do anything openly. This time, I reckon he's here to attack our Hong Family's finances. "
"This bunch of little Japanese." The always smiling Second Elder, Hong Wei, gritted his teeth hatefully when he mentioned Toyoda Conglomerate. "Back then, if Big Brother didn't have Wang Daoming with you, you'd probably be long gone! Now that Ko Gohon has come, we have to teach him a lesson no matter what! "
Hong Weiguo, who was at the side, understood the deep feud between the two families.
As Jaban State's pillar enterprise, Toyoda Conglomerate could be said to have always held an important position in Jaban State. Back then, Jaban State invaded Heavenly State, and both parties fought a bloody battle for six whole years. In the end, although they retreated in defeat, Heavenly State also suffered heavy losses.
The Hong Family and the Wu Family, which were the founding fathers of the nation, had lost two colonel-level officers, while the Wu Family had lost one. The young generals under them had also suffered heavy casualties. On Hong Tu's side, only he and Hong Wei had survived. Hong Tu had survived because of Wang Daoming's personal protection, whereas Hong Wei had survived because he was still young at that time. However, although the two of them survived, their three older brothers all died in battle.
As for the Wu Family, it wasn't much better. The younger generation could be said to have almost all died, and in the end, there was only one heir left. Luckily, their foundation was there, and Heavenly State treated the Wu Family quite well. After tens of years of development, they finally had a breather.
From this, one could imagine how deep the hatred between the two sides was.
This time, Ko Gohon had come to look for Hong Dali. On the surface, it looked like it was to fight for the title of "Young Master," but in actual fact, it was probably because the other party had purposely used this as an excuse to find trouble.
"En, Ko Gohon definitely doesn't have any good intentions in coming to look for Hong Dali. There's no need to doubt this." Hong Weiguo touched his chin. "The problem is that we don't know what he will choose to do. In this day and age, if he didn't use violence, there was no way to take any measures against him. If it's a business matter, I'm afraid Hong Dali … "
"It's hard to say when it comes to business." Hong Tu slowly said, "Toyoda Conglomerate's total assets are more than 200 billion USD. If they really want to do something, they only need to prop up a puppet and then secretly inject capital into it. That would be enough to cause a headache. This time, Ko Gohon must have come with this idea. "
"They have a lot of funds." Hong Weiguo rubbed his temples. "This Toyoda Conglomerate has always been hiding behind the scenes. Their foundation hasn't been shaken too much. Many of them died in that battle, but only one or two of them were core members. The economy has been developing rapidly in recent years, and the total assets of 200 billion USD are not easy to deal with. "
"I don't know if Hong Dali can handle it." Hong Wei sighed. "The opponent this time isn't ordinary. The most important thing is that they have a lot of funds. And I heard that this Ko Gohon is also a very decisive person."
"Yes, they're not easy to deal with." Hong Ying fretted. "Why do you think this child, Hong Dali, met with such a thing? It's quite good for him to happily squander every day, but there are always people who come to find trouble with him. "
"The tallest tree in the forest will be blown down by the wind." Hong Tu, on the other hand, laughed. "This also shows that Hong Dali is outstanding enough."
"Three Elders." As the four of them spoke up to this point, someone came forward to report. "There's a Bureau Chief outside requesting to see you."
"Oh?" Upon hearing that it was the Bureau Chief, the Old Elder's eyes instantly lit up. He hurriedly said, "Quick, invite him in!"
Very quickly, the Bureau Chief's laughter sounded. "Hello, three Elders. I came uninvited, please don't take it to heart."
"Haha, there's no need to be so polite." Hong Tu stood up to welcome them. He first sized up the Bureau Chief and laughed. "It's Wu Di from the Wu Family, right? Aiya, come in, come in. In the blink of an eye, we haven't met for decades. When I saw you then, you were still a child drinking milk. Now, you're already a Bureau Chief, hehe. "
Upon hearing that, Hong Weiguo was instantly shocked. Previously, he only knew that this Bureau Chief was the leader of the National Security Bureau. He didn't think that he was actually the descendant of an old friend. If not for his father, Hong Tu, pointing out his identity, he would still be in the dark.
The relationship between the two founding fathers of Heavenly State, the Hong Family and the Wu Family, was indeed quite good.
"Old Elder, you're too polite. No matter what, I'm still your junior, hehe." The Bureau Chief, Wu Di, sat down and slowly said, "Originally, I was afraid that coming here would easily attract gossip behind my back, so I didn't come to visit. But now that the situation has changed, I have no choice but to make a trip here. Please help me keep this a secret, Old Elder."
"Understood, understood." Hong Tu nodded.
The two founding fathers of the Hong Family and the Wu Family were in contact with each other behind their backs. It was hard to guarantee that the higher-ups wouldn't be wary of them. If they were to be falsely accused, it would be big trouble. Thus, Wu Di had indeed taken a rather big risk by coming here this time. From this, it could be seen how serious this matter was.
"Currently, Ko Gohon has arrived in Tianjing. Seniors, I believe you all know about it." The Bureau Chief, Wu Di slowly said, "Regarding this matter, the higher-ups attach great importance to it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to come here so easily."
"Why, is there any new news again?" Hong Tu asked in surprise.
Ko Gohon's coming to Heavenly State was already a rather troublesome matter. Who knew what troublesome matter would be this time around.
"Yes." Wu Di frowned and said, "According to the latest information, Ko Gohon has prepared 10 billion USD this time, intending to completely destroy all the success points on Hong Dali's side. Other than Big Turtle, the Black Tortoise, which the other party doesn't dare to easily touch, everything else that Hong Dali has started up is included. Moreover, the CEO, Tarō Gohon, has personally said that if it's not enough, he can continue to allocate more funds. "
"It can't be!" Upon hearing this, Hong Weiguo was completely stunned. "So generous? For my Dali to make such a big fuss? "
"I didn't understand at first." Wu Di despondently said, "Originally, a little prodigal like Dali shouldn't have caused them to make such a big fuss. But afterward, according to the clues over there, as well as their usual style of doing things, I finally understood.
"Dali could become the family's Rookie King of the Year just by squandering. They have discovered Dali's huge potential, and in order to prevent him from becoming a threat in the future, they decided to completely destroy Dali's confidence now and make him become a real prodigal — the kind that can only spend money and not earn money."
Upon hearing Wu Di's words, Hong Weiguo and the rest were all stunned.
Indeed, even in their dreams, they didn't expect that the other party would dare to put in so much capital.
But thinking about it, it wasn't strange. Hong Dali could earn more and more money just by squandering casually. If he really wanted to devote himself to business in the future, this would definitely be worrying. Thus, Ko Gohon's motive for coming here this time was very simple. It was to defeat Hong Dali in all aspects and completely destroy Hong Dali's confidence, so that Hong Dali would truly become a prodigal who only knew how to spend money and not earn money.
This was like in novels, where the main character was a genius and grew at an extremely fast speed. According to the normal plot, he should be climbing higher and higher level by level. But the Toyoda Conglomerate of the Gohon family didn't think so. After they understood what Hong Dali had done, they felt that Hong Dali was a rather threatening figure. Thus, they planned to send a level 100 expert to directly crush Hong Dali to death when Hong Dali had just reached level 10.
It had to be said that it was indeed a wise decision to strangle the opponent before they had even matured.
"It's true …" Hong Tu frowned and said, "Back then, I realized that this Toyoda Conglomerate really likes to strangle the young geniuses of their enemies to death. My three elder brothers are a classic example. Now, they want to repeat the same old trick again. "
"Yes, initially, I thought that this was just a small fight between youngsters." Wu Di sighed. "Afterward, I heard that there was such a big movement over there, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong. Thus, I hurriedly came to inform you."
"Then, how should we deal with it?" Hong Weiguo said in a deep voice, "Oh right, what did the higher-ups say?"
"The higher-ups said that we will give our full support." Wu Di said, "As long as it's not a problem of principle, we will give policy support to everything Hong Dali does. As long as he needs it, all the procedures will be given the green light."
"That's good, that's good." Hong Weiguo let out a long breath.
As the helmsman of Sangle Company, Hong Weiguo naturally knew that if he wanted to do something, whether the country gave the green light or not would definitely have a huge impact. Many a time, once an idea was implemented, everything would initially be very smooth. Then, it would be due to the approval and stamping of the approval and other matters that dragged on. More often than not, it would turn a good thing into a bad thing.
If Hong Dali had a good idea and was prepared to implement it, in the end, the higher-ups would give all sorts of approval and go back and forth. By the time the matter was approved, the best time would have already passed.
For example, if Hong Dali wanted to buy a piece of land, in the end, all sorts of documents and approvals would drag on for one to two years. By then, the price of the land would have already risen. Then, what was there to buy …
Now that the Bureau Chief had said this, naturally, everything would be much easier to handle. At least, he had enough confidence.
"Since I've already conveyed the message, it's getting late, I should leave too." Having finished speaking, Wu Di stood up. "Remember, don't underestimate this matter. Initially, I didn't really care much about it. After all, it's a matter between youngsters. But later on, the situation changed too much, so I hope that everyone will take it seriously. Under the premise that you don't directly interfere, you must give Hong Dali full support. "
"En, we understand." Hong Tu stood up to send him off. "The situation is special, so I won't keep you. If there's anything in the future, contact me again."
"En, contact me again."
