Chapter 442: 0443 Sato Tsuru’s visit
The Yamato Group, as an emerging conglomerate in Zhongshan City, can be said to have been the most prominent enterprise this past year.
In the private sector, it definitely qualifies as the leading enterprise in Zhongshan City.
Even the government of Zhongshan City places great emphasis on the development of the Yamato Group, granting no small measure of support for foreign companies to develop locally, invest, and increase revenue generation.
In the chairman’s office, Sato Tsuru and two directors from the Rongda Group were meeting.
The discussion centered on matters related to both companies joining hands for cooperative development, though the current topic of conversation was focused on another key point, which was Longjia.
Previously, Longjia had collaborated with the Shangguan family to expand into external markets. For both major conglomerates, there were pros and cons, but overall, the cons outweighed the pros. That’s because if Longjia successfully expanded its external market, its scale would grow once again, solidifying its position as the true number one business conglomerate in Zhongshan City.
This was a scenario neither the Yamato Group nor the Rongda Group wanted to see, hence both parties repeatedly made moves in secret, attempting to disrupt Longjia’s expansion.
Unfortunately, their efforts yielded little effect. After all, Shangguan Peng from the Shangguan family was a well-known figure in the business world, with significant connections and influence. With just one word from him, many areas were wide open for Longjia. While the Yamato Group and Rongda Group were trying every possible means to no avail, they watched as Longjia was stepping onto another level. However, the intervention of chambers of commerce from various places gave both behemoths a glimmer of hope, as Longjia’s market expansion was instantly frozen.
It was thought that Longjia’s collaboration with the Shangguan family would thus fail and Longjia, concentrating its main efforts on external market expansion, would be too preoccupied to attend to the local market in Zhongshan City. This would cause them to neglect one in favor of the other. Unexpectedly, just a few days later, Longjia started making moves again.
This completely alarmed Sato Tsuru of the Yamato Group and Cheng Hu and Ruan Guotao of the Rongda Group, who had been secretly sneering in the dark.
Both parties shared a common enemy, and despite their mutual wariness, they sat down together once again because of Longjia, their mutual foe.
"Longjia has a tough life, I thought they would definitely collapse this time, but it seems they have dodged a bullet," Sato Tsuru said.
"I used to dread Longjia a little, but now that it’s under the control of Shen Tianlong’s daughter, I think toppling Longjia isn’t difficult. Unfortunately, chambers of commerce everywhere have changed their stance, and it’s truly baffling. What did that girl do, or did someone from the Shangguan family influence the higher-ups of the chambers to cease their actions?" Ruan Guotao analyzed.
"Gentlemen, don’t you have the slightest bit of news about why the chambers of commerce have stopped targeting Longjia?" Sato Tsuru looked at the two men, his gaze somewhat cool.
"What are you implying with that remark? Are we two keeping something from you?" Cheng Hu suddenly barked, somewhat put off by the Japanese man before him.
Ruan Guotao glanced at Cheng Hu, then turned and said with a smile, "Mr. Sato, please don’t mind my younger brother’s rash rudeness. From what you’re suggesting, it seems you might know the reason. Could you please share it with us?"
Sato Tsuru ignored Cheng Hu and addressed Ruan Guotao, "As far as I know, the reason the chambers of commerce have stopped targeting Longjia is all because of one person."
"Who?" Both Ruan Guotao and Cheng Hu were intrigued upon hearing that a single individual had managed to unite the opinions of the various chambers of commerce, braving the risk of offending the Condé Gill family to no longer target Longjia. Who could this person be with such clout and face?
The person mentioned by Sato Tsuru suddenly drew both men’s attention.
"This person issued an invitation. He has a nickname, called King Yan. I wonder if you’ve heard of it?" Sato Tsuru’s hand now held a black card that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, and on it was the embossed name "King Yan," the very same title referred to in the invitation he spoke of.
Cheng Hu scrutinized the black card closely and couldn’t help but sneer, "So it’s just because of such a lousy card that those chamber heads changed their attitude?"
Sato Tsuru was indifferent. He didn’t care about Cheng Hu’s blockheadedness and turned to the contemplative Ruan Guotao, "Mr. Ruan, what do you think?"
"King Yan’s poster? King Yan?" Ruan Guotao shook his head; he had never heard of this name before, but the two words ’King Yan’ were not just ordinary terms—they represented the ruler who decides life and death in the underworld. Whoever dared to use King Yan as a title must be a terrifying individual. Ruan Guotao, who thought much more than Wang Chenghu, naturally understood that the King Yan mentioned by Sato Tsuru was no ordinary person.
"It seems you truly don’t know about this person known as King Yan. However, King Yan also has another name that you two must have heard of," Sato Tsuru spoke calmly and unhurriedly.
"Oh? Who might that be?"
"His name is Ye Qiu, the bodyguard hired by Shen Tianlong during his lifetime," Sato Tsuru said, causing both men’s expressions to change instantly.
Ye Qiu!
This name was all too familiar to them; their own boss had died because of him.
He was a fearsome and intimidating figure, and it was because of him that they never dared to touch Shen Mengchen. Otherwise, how could a woman like Shen Mengchen have remained unharmed all this time?
Sato Tsuru noticed the shock in the two men’s eyes and saw their expressions, roughly guessing that they had had dealings with Ye Qiu before. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have shown such looks.
"It seems the two of you are acquainted with this Ye Qiu. I wonder if you could share with me what makes Ye Qiu so extraordinary?" Sato Tsuru then asked.
Ruan Guotao pondered for a while, collected his emotions, and did not offer much explanation, simply telling Sato Tsuru one key point: Ye Qiu’s skills were extremely high, and he was no ordinary person.
After a two-hour conversation, Ruan Guotao left the Yamato Corporation with Wang Chenghu. Sato Tsuru, who had been sitting on the sofa, stood up, picked up a cup of coffee, and gazed into the distance.
"Ye Qiu, you forced Fujikawa Ueno to return defeated to the Land of the Rising Sun, and I’m well aware that you are no ordinary individual," he said to himself.
"The newcomer to the top ten owls of the martial arts realm, ranked tenth."
"A dangerous figure ranked tenth on the underworld list."
"Truly, heroes emerge from the young. With such strength at this age, you are the future of China’s martial world. Such a genius is rare even in my Land of the Rising Sun."
"It’s time to meet you," Sato Tsuru mused, swirling the coffee in his hand and taking a sip.
In fact, Sato Tsuru’s visit to Ye Qiu was deliberate; he had come to the Longjia building, thinking that Ye Qiu would be with Shen Mengchen, ensuring her safety.
Shen Mengchen was immediately alerted by Sato Tsuru’s visit. She was full of confusion, unclear why the director of Yamato Corporation would want to see her. By all accounts, their companies were competitors. What could be his purpose in coming here himself?
Shen Mengchen couldn’t figure it out, but Liu Bo, standing by her side, was more composed and voiced his thoughts, "Miss, why not meet with this Mr. Sato Tsuru and see what his intentions are?"
Shen Mengchen’s gaze flickered, and she nodded, agreeing with Liu Bo’s suggestion.
"Let Mr. Sato come in," Shen Mengchen instructed to the other end of the phone and then hung up. She sat up straight before her desk, a posture of a strong businesswoman immediately enveloping her.
