Reborn as a Noble’s Son
Chapter 1038 - Chapter 1038 Chapter 994 By Any Means Necessary

Chapter 1038: Chapter 994: By Any Means Necessary Chapter 1038: Chapter 994: By Any Means Necessary Hearing Nie Zhenbang’s analysis and judgment, Wen Baogui felt a sense of apprehension at this moment. He had truly not anticipated that the restructuring of Hongcheng Machinery Factory could give rise to so many issues. From Secretary Nie’s analysis, Wen Baogui, assessing with his own experience, was certain that there must be some secret concerning Hongcheng Machinery Factory–a secret that was overlooked by both the Hongjiang Provincial Committee and the factory itself.

Fortunately, the restructuring of Hongcheng Machinery Factory was still in the negotiation phase and had not been finalized. There was still room for recourse. Had the contract been signed, no matter the price, even if Hongjiang Province had gotten the better deal, once the true facts emerged, it wouldn’t just make them the laughingstock of the industry; as provincial governor, he too would be criticized, though this matter was being handled by He Yusheng.

After pondering for a moment, Wen Baogui spoke up, “Secretary, do you think we should share the full details with Comrade He Yusheng? After all, he is the one in charge of this issue.”

One has to admit Wen Baogui’s caution. Although he had firmly secured his position as provincial governor by this time, he still paid great attention to his demeanor, adhering to a certain principle at heart. This stance fully reflected his respect and compliance towards Secretary Nie.

Wen Baogui clearly understood that it was difficult to establish good relations with someone, but it was very easy to offend someone. His ability to reach his current position was inseparably linked to his decisive allegiance to Secretary Nie earlier on. The more he thought about it, the more Wen Baogui realized the vast influence of Secretary Nie–a person he must never offend.

Nie Zhenbang was quite satisfied, being able to guess Wen Baogui’s thoughts. After pondering a moment, Nie Zhenbang slowly said, “Hmm, handing this matter to He Yusheng would indeed be appropriate. Right now, the tourism conference is the top priority and cannot be delayed. I think you should contact He Yusheng, explain the situation to him, and let him investigate.”

Such words indicated that Nie Zhenbang had his own plans. Currently, in the provincial government, the relationship between Wen Baogui and He Yusheng was neither good nor bad. The main reason they were not at each other’s throats was because Nie Zhenbang himself was holding them in check–all the other standing committee members of Hongjiang Province clearly understood that economic development was the top priority. If anyone interfered, the first to take action would certainly be Secretary Nie.

Wen Baogui was somewhat excited; this was a rare opportunity provided to him by the Secretary. It was also an opportunity to ease the strained relations. He promptly nodded and said, “Secretary Nie, I will make arrangements right away.”

…

Red River Roman International Hotel was one of the well-known five-star hotels in Hongjiang Province. The entire hotel adopted a complete European-style hotel management and service.

At this moment, in the Rome International Hotel. In a business suite on the twelfth floor, room 1209. The layout of the room was one bedroom and one living room, with a small meeting area outside.

On the sofa, Lin Jianyi from Ling San Heavy Industries, with a gloomy expression, sat there. At the side, two subordinates stood with bowed heads, not daring even to breathe heavily.

With a somber gaze, Lin Jianyi looked up at the two men and said sternly, “Mr. Fujii, Mr. Jian Chi, did you say that Ou Jinnian from Moving Mountain Group has also arrived in Hongcheng?”

Despite Lin Jianyi’s usually amiable smile and gentlemanly demeanor, at this moment, his true nature was revealed. As the president of Ling San Heavy Industries in Huaxia, Lin Jianyi was by no means a pushover.

As soon as he finished speaking, a short-statured man nodded and said, “Yes, Mr. Kobayashi, according to the information we have, Ou Jinnian from Moving Mountain Group has already arrived in Hongcheng. He came from Jingcheng, and was accompanied by several men. One of them, we do not recognize. The other two, are Zhao Xinglong and Li Hua, the owners of Longhua Mining. According to our intelligence, Zhao Xinglong and Li Hua have good relations with Nie Zhenbang, the Secretary of the Hongjiang Provincial Committee. It seems that Moving Mountain Group is also here for Hongcheng Machinery Factory.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Jianyi’s face darkened with regret. Had he known such a situation would arise, he would have been more generous in the beginning and readily accepted the terms of the Hongjiang Provincial Committee, signing the cooperation agreement. That way, there would be no passive situation like the present.

After musing for a while, Lin Jianyi spoke solemnly, “Mr. Fujii, you’ve done well. I will report your performance to the corporation, and I believe you will be duly rewarded. Now, it seems that Ou Jinnian is also here for the hydraulic technology. The rise of Moving Mountain Group has significantly suppressed our market share in the global heavy industry–which is unacceptable. We must secure this new hydraulic technology. Once we have it, we’ll control the core of the future heavy industry. Even if we don’t produce our products, this one technology will be enough to suppress all rivals. Gentlemen, let us work together. No matter the method, we must secure this technology.”

As he spoke, another slightly taller man interjected, “Mr. Kobayashi, I think the authorities in Hongjiang may have already noticed something. The provincial side is already dragging their feet. I believe we can no longer achieve results through normal means.”

Before the man could finish, Lin Jianyi waved his hand and said, “Mr. Jian Chi, I don’t care about the method. What I need is the result. How you do it is your business, understood?”

The tall, thin man, hearing Lin Jianyi’s words, showed no emotion, simply bowing and nodding, “Yes, Mr. Kobayashi. Rest assured, no matter the difficulty, no matter the effort required. We will be the ones to triumph in the end.”

…

It all took place at the Rome International Hotel.

On the hotel’s seventh floor was the sauna and spa center.

At this very moment, inside a luxuriously decorated private room, Kenji Ono sat to the side while, in the main seat, three slightly overweight middle-aged men were seated.

Displaying extreme politeness, Kenji Ono, with a smile, said, “Director Fu, you are friends of Ling San Heavy Industries. Following the acquisition of Hongcheng Machinery Factory by Ling San Heavy Industries, we will become colleagues. Mr. Kobayashi has already mentioned that, in the future, at Ling San Heavy Industries, Director Fu, you and your colleagues will occupy important positions. You are an indispensable part of Ling San Heavy Industries. In the future, your salaries will be at least in the million-dollar range. Gentlemen, let us toast to our happy cooperation.”

After accepting the task given by Lin Jianyi, Kenji began taking action. He understood the nature of the Huaxia people very thoroughly. Hosting a banquet for Director Fu and several other leaders from Hongcheng Machinery Factory was Kenji Ono’s first planned step.

After a round of drinks, the atmosphere in the room became more active. Director Fu smiled and said, “Mr. Kenji, you are too courteous. Please send our regards to Mr. Lin Jianyi.”

As the words fell, Kenji Ono appeared troubled as he said, “Director Fu, there’s something I’m not sure if I should bring up.”

Although he said that, Kenji Ono did not seem embarrassed at all but directly continued with the previous topic, “Director Fu, as you know, the cooperation and negotiations between both parties are still in a deadlock. As for this matter, Ling San Heavy Industries has already provided the sincerest conditions. I think, regarding official matters, you insiders understand more than an outsider like me. I feel that, if it were possible to show some anticipation for Ling San Heavy Industries from within Hongcheng Machinery Factory, it would further encourage your officials to make up their minds to cooperate with us.”

The moment Kenji Ono finished speaking, the expressions of Director Fu and the other two men changed. These Dongying people were inciting the factory workers to petition. They were forcing the government to yield to them.

If it had been before, Director Fu might have agreed readily, but at this moment, he dared not take a stand. The murderous intent of Secretary Nie of the Provincial Committee was clear to everyone in Hongjiang, and proceeding in this way might work on others, but would likely backfire with Secretary Nie.

He was about to refuse when Kenji Ono clapped his hands and said with a smile, “Director Fu, today we came here to have fun, let’s not talk about work. Today, the most important thing is to enjoy ourselves. I have prepared the grandest entertainment for the gentlemen.”

No sooner had he spoken than the doors to the private room swung open, and a group of tall, young, and lovely ladies dressed in revealing outfits filed in. They lined up at the entrance, each one stepping forward to introduce themselves by their number.

“Honored guest, hello, I am Number 18, from Chunan!”

“Honored guest, hello, I am Number 22, from Bashu. I am very happy to serve you.”

“Honored guest, hello…”

With the room filled with fragrance and seeing the tender beauties before them, the posture of Director Fu and the other two men became somewhat unnatural. Kenji Ono smiled faintly and then said, “Director Fu, when it comes to having fun, the most important thing is to be happy. As a friend, I am honored, and if Director Fu takes a liking to any of the ladies, feel free to enjoy yourself.”

Having said his piece, Kenji Ono fell silent but sneered inwardly with some contempt. Dealing with these Huaxia officials was just too simple; there was no need for scruples. Just now, he had added some aphrodisiac to the wine, and now, under the stimulation of such beauty, Kenji Ono was certain these men wouldn’t possess such strong willpower.

Sure enough, within a minute, Director Fu stood up and pointed at a tall lady about one meter seventy in height, saying, “I’ll take this beauty.”

Seeing the factory chief making a move, the other two leaders from Hongcheng Machinery Factory naturally stood up and each chose two ladies, leaving the private room under the manager’s guidance.

At this moment, Fujii walked in from outside and nodded slightly to Kenji Ono, “Mr. Kenji, everything is prepared; in ten minutes, we will be able to enjoy a different kind of performance.” (To be continued.
