Chapter 174: Moisturizing Things Silently
Thonburi.
In the private estate of the Xie family.
Several decision-makers within the family have already received feedback from their spokespersons.
Xie Bin, who had gained a lot of profits for the family through cooperation with Qingye Medical, was now qualified to enter the core of the family. He sighed:
"How amazing! She actually dared to touch the military's cake."
"I guess they just went from being open to being covert. Otherwise, would those gang members surrender so easily? Xiaobin is still a little young." Another elderly man in his seventies shook his head.
The head of the family, Xie Hua, smiled and said, "Second Uncle has a sharp eye, but she is already very impressive to be able to do this. I hope she won't cause any trouble in the future!"
"What's the reaction from the royal family?" asked another fat old man.
Xie Hua shook his head: "What else can we do? If they jump again, even the last bit of their incense will be cut off. Maybe this is fate! It really works after ten generations!"
"What do you think of that big infrastructure plan?" the fat old man continued to ask.
"It's just to win people's hearts. Anyway, the Shinawatra family doesn't need to pay for it. We don't have to think about these projects, but we can get involved in the import of equipment and raw materials." Xie Hua saw it very clearly.
As the leaders of the Chinese business families, they have always known the limits. Some money can be earned, but some money should not be touched. Being greedy will only make them fat sheep and easily lead to hostility from other families.
Although the Xie family did not get close to the Shinawatra family, they had no intention of offending the other party.
Other Chinese business families also verbally expressed their support for the Shinawatra family at this time.
But there are also a few unlucky Chinese business families.
For example, the Xu family, which had wanted to take advantage of the opportunity before, lost more than a dozen core members in the gunfight some time ago, including the new head of the family, Xu Xuexi, who all received box lunches.
The Xu family, which was already severely damaged, was hit even worse this time. It is estimated that it will become a third-rate family in the future.
…
Star Island.
The Black Ships, which have been engaged in a fierce battle with the Torch, have caused great anxiety to the new Governor Joshua and Victor, who was left behind temporarily as his deputy.
Victor, who was already furious, received another piece of news: "This damn Du Jianxin, he actually disappeared in Britain? Was he dealt with by Torch's people?"
"Anyway, we've suffered a huge loss this time." Joshua's expression was also very gloomy.
Although Victor was responsible for most of the blame for this conflict, he, as the new governor, also felt ashamed.
He has now almost completed the handover of his work, and only then did he realize how serious the situation in Southeast Asia is.
The Luzon Black Ships suffered heavy losses, and some time ago, two hundred Navy SEALs were killed.
The Hongsavadi black ships also suffered heavy losses and now they can't even find a decent agent.
The recent secret battle with Torch caused him to lose some of his strength again.
The headquarters said they wanted to send more manpower to Southeast Asia, but in the end all the manpower was sent to South America and Central America. The Three Leaf Oaks organization there has become more and more rampant in recent years and has even extended its hands to the American mainland.
Joshua knew that he wouldn't get much support in the near future.
Victor consoled him, "We can't do anything about Siam. We are short-handed everywhere, and we are still rotating our staff internally."
"The headquarters won't blame us for what happened over there. After all, it happened in such a short time that we didn't have time to react before that woman succeeded. I guess we have to be careful with this woman in the future." Joshua rubbed his temple.
Victor narrowed his eyes and said, "This time, Siam's mutation was definitely not done by her alone, or by the Shinawatra family alone. For example, there must be someone cooperating with her in Luzon, otherwise it would not be so easy for her to use a substitute to deceive our people and then suddenly appear in Siam."
"Could it be the torch?" Joshua frowned.
But Victor shook his head: "It's not like their style. They rarely use such radical means nowadays."
"Who could it be? Is there such a powerful force in Southeast Asia?" Joshua was very troubled.
If there was a clear force, they would not be so passive. The problem is that the other party is slippery. Until now, the Black Ship has not discovered the true face of this force.
This kind of unknown opponent is the most troublesome.
Because you don't know their purpose or where their body is, it is difficult to find a suitable target for retaliation.
In addition, due to the recent heavy casualties on the black ships in Southeast Asia, some areas are almost becoming vacuum zones.
This was also the most uncomfortable thing for Joshua. He wanted to test the other party, but he did not have enough manpower.
Now there is the added issue of Siam.
This feeling made Joshua very uncomfortable, as if an invisible net was tightening little by little, and he was like a small fish in it. The more he struggled, the tighter he was entangled.
He could only report and complain to the headquarters, asking them to quickly allocate some manpower for him.
But he didn't know it yet.
The place in Southeast Asia that has undergone mutations recently is not just Siam, there is another place that has also undergone mutations.
That place is Malaysia.
But unlike the overtly fierce Siam, the changes in Malaysia are the kind that happen silently and subtly.
The person who led this silent change was Chen Jianxiong, the head of the security department. He did not choose the radical plan that Domino used in Siam, mainly because the situations in the two places were different.
Siam is a royal family and the Thai army is difficult to change through infiltration, so a thorough transformation .
But the situation in Malaysia is different. Local areas can use covert means to remove the nails one by one.
Anyway, Chen Jianxiong used various shell companies and investment as an excuse to inspect various parts of Malaysia, and then lured both the local black and white gangs into the prepared trap and took them all out.
If they cooperate, they will be given the qualifications of a new human being, or even the identity of a spider web manager.
Those who were unwilling to cooperate or had committed many evil deeds were sent back to be retrained by Chen Jianxiong and turned into soldiers.
At the same time that Domino and Qiu Yingle completed the Siam strategy.
Chen Jianxiong had basically integrated Malaysia, and even turned a dozen of the black ship converts and lookouts into "his own people."
In other words, not only Joshua and Victor are being monitored by the Security Department, but even some of their pawns in Southeast Asia are actually secretly controlled by the Security Department.
If the black ships want to cause trouble in Southeast Asia, they will not escape the eyes of the Security Department.
Even in this secret war between the Black Ships and the Torch, the Security Department secretly fanned the flames many times in order to severely damage the Black Ships' influence in Southeast Asia.
The fact that Sapiens Company has taken over two regions at one time is of great significance.
After all, with the addition of Siam and Malaysia, Hongsawadi and Luzon are no longer isolated as before, but are now completely connected.
The control areas of the four major divisions cover a land area of 1.82 million square kilometers and a total population of 254 million.
Agricultural resources are sufficient to support a population of 300 million, and the potential is still huge.
Except for the relatively scarce iron ore resources, oil, natural gas, non-ferrous metals, precious metals, gems and potassium salts are all very abundant, enough to support a large domestic circulation market.
After taking over these four regions, the first phase of the layout of Zhiren Company has been preliminarily completed.
The second phase of expansion strategy will only be launched after digestion and integration next year or the year after.
