Shenghai Building....

Chairman’s office.

"Mr. Ni, Han Qiangzhi is here."

Fire Fox leaned into Ni Yongyao’s ear and reported.

"Let him in."

Ni Yongyao said.

"Yes."

Fire Fox nodded, swayed her waist as she walked out of the office, and soon returned with Han Qiangzhi.

Han Qiangzhi was in a suit, his hair combed meticulously. Upon seeing Ni Yongyao, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Mr. Ni, the Zhao family matter was handled beautifully."

Han Qiangzhi said with a smile. He had long had grievances with the Zhao family, especially that second-generation ancestor Zhao Taiwu, who had caused him trouble many times. Now that the entire Zhao family had been uprooted by Ni Yongyao, Han Qiangzhi felt very comfortable.

"Sit."

Ni Yongyao tossed a cigar to Han Qiangzhi and said.

Han Qiangzhi skillfully cut and lit the cigar. After taking a deep puff, he said, "However, the fall of the Zhao family has also made other chaebols vigilant. I just received news that, led by the Li family, most of the chaebols have united and are preparing to take action against Ni Capital."

"Mr. Ni, I can still hold them off for a while, but I won't be able to hold on for long."

Han Qiangzhi spread his hands and said, "I wonder if Mr. Ni has prepared any countermeasures?"

"Soldiers come, generals block; water comes, earth covers."

Facing Han Qiangzhi’s question, Ni Yongyao said.

Seeing Ni Yongyao’s calm and composed appearance, without a hint of panic, Han Qiangzhi shook his head and said, "As long as Mr. Ni has a plan in mind."

After the Zhao family incident, Han Qiangzhi had thoroughly recognized Ni Yongyao’s ruthlessness and decisiveness; he didn't need his suggestions at all.

Han Qiangzhi also understood that what he needed to do was to limit the chaebols from the high level as much as possible, and leave the rest to Ni Yongyao.

Subsequently, the two chatted for a while. Han Qiangzhi received a phone call and then hurriedly said goodbye and left.

"Fire Fox, establish a broadcasting company."

Ni Yongyao pondered for a moment and ordered.

Since the chaebols had banded together, Ni Yongyao didn't intend to fight them one by one; he would just wipe them all out at once.

And before that, he needed to use a public opinion offensive to weaken the influence of each chaebol to the maximum extent.

It just so happened that Ni Yongyao had obtained a broadcasting business license certificate in a previous lottery, so he could establish a broadcasting company directly.

"The company’s name will be Planet Broadcasting. Also, call Ding Qing over."

Ni Yongyao said.

"Yes, Mr. Ni."

Fire Fox agreed.

Not long after, the office door was knocked.

"Come in."

The door opened, and Ding Qing walked in with large strides. He stood still before Ni Yongyao and asked respectfully, "Mr. Ni, what are your orders?"

"Ding Qing, go and acquire other broadcasting companies in the Peninsula. Price is not an issue, but the acquisition must be completed in the shortest possible time."

Ni Yongyao ordered.

"Broadcasting companies? Mr. Ni, some companies are not things money can solve; they all have chaebol forces behind them."

Ding Qing said.

"Then solve them. Make them shut up forever."

Ni Yongyao said lightly.

"Yes, I understand."

Ding Qing nodded heavily and agreed.

"Go down."

Ni Yongyao waved his hand and said.

After some time, Planet Broadcasting leaped to become the premier broadcasting company in Hancheng, with many television stations and newspapers under its banner. These were naturally obtained from other companies.

And those companies that were hard nuts to crack or loyal to the chaebols all unanimously suffered attacks from the "North Peninsula," suffering heavy losses and almost being in a state of suspension.

In a short period, Ni Yongyao occupied the absolute right to speak.

With the right to speak, the public opinion offensive became much easier.

"Mike, go and set a fire at the Li chaebol’s factory."

Ni Yongyao ordered.

Mike was best at creating accidents; letting him go and set fire to the Li chaebol’s factory was most appropriate.

"Yes."

Mike agreed and then left the office.

Hancheng suburbs.

This was an electronics factory of the Li chaebol. It was large in scale, with tens of thousands of workers alone, and belonged to the core factory sequence within the Li chaebol.

The Li chaebol’s business spanned multiple fields, but the most core was the electronics field.

As long as an accident happened here, not only could it cause huge losses to the Li chaebol, but Ni Yongyao could also use this to launch a public opinion offensive to strike at the Li chaebol.

On the outskirts of the factory, Mike changed into a factory uniform and silently sneaked into the factory.

Not long after, fires broke out simultaneously in various parts of the factory. Raging flames ignited quickly and soon spread to an uncontrollable point.

By the time the firefighters arrived, the fire had already engulfed all the factory buildings, burning this core factory of the Li chaebol to the ground.

This fire not only caused heavy losses to the Li chaebol but was also widely reported by the media, causing a huge uproar.

And this was just the beginning. Scandals such as medical accidents, car accidents, and power-for-sex trades were all exposed. For a time, most chaebols, including the Li chaebol, were pushed to the forefront of the storm.

These things had not failed to happen before, but at that time, the right to speak was in the hands of the chaebols, so many things could not be reported. Even if they were reported, they would quickly be suppressed, and then it would be left unsettled.

Now it was different. The right to speak was not in the hands of the chaebols but was controlled by Ni Yongyao, so naturally, he played up the scandals of the chaebols to weaken their influence.

However, this was only a small part of Ni Yongyao’s plan. More importantly, he used this opportunity to incite the dissatisfaction of the Peninsula people toward the major chaebols.

For decades, Peninsula society had been under the shroud of chaebols. By 1991, it was almost making ordinary Peninsula people unable to breathe. The oppression that was pervasive in every aspect had long caused the Peninsula people to accumulate a bellyful of resentment. Before, they just didn't have the opportunity to vent it. Now, with a little incitement from the media controlled by Ni Yongyao, it immediately erupted.

Subsequently, under Ni Yongyao’s control, a large number of Peninsula people took to the streets, starting protests and demonstrations to vent their anger and dissatisfaction toward the chaebols. The leaders among them were naturally Ni Yongyao’s subordinates.

"Mr. Ni, large-scale protests and demonstrations have broken out in various regions today. Here is the detailed information."

Inside the Shenghai Building, Fire Fox handed a document to Ni Yongyao and said.

Ni Yongyao took the document and flipped through a few pages.

"We can start the next step of the action."

Ni Yongyao said.

"Okay, I’ll go arrange it right away."

Fire Fox said, took out her phone, and made a call.

Inciting the Peninsula people to protest against the chaebols was only the first step. Ni Yongyao knew very well that the major chaebols were deep-rooted; protests and demonstrations alone were useless and were just scratching the surface for the chaebols.

Ni Yongyao’s real purpose was just to use the protests and demonstrations to stimulate the Peninsula people’s idea of resisting the chaebols. The next part was the main event.

As Ni Yongyao’s orders were passed down, the leaders in each protest group began to act, leading the crowds that had become fanatical due to the protests to storm the industries of the major chaebols.

Factories, shopping malls, and other places—as long as it was a chaebol’s industry, they were all stormed, or rather, it was a large-scale "zero-dollar purchase."

During this process, the Peninsula police also came out to stop them, but with Han Qiangzhi there, the police just went through the motions and didn't put in any real effort. After all, the Peninsula police had always been dogs raised by prosecutors, so they naturally obeyed orders.

And the security personnel hired by the major chaebols at great expense were also dealt with one by one by assassins hidden in the protest crowds.

In a short time, the rioting crowds had damaged the industries of the major chaebols to a very serious degree, causing losses far more serious than the factory fire, even threatening their survival.

Li manor.

Conference room.

Li Shiwu sat in the main seat, and the others were the heads of the major chaebol families. It could be said that the most powerful batch of people in the Peninsula were sitting in this room. Even if the President came, he would have to be careful when seeing these people.

"It seems we all underestimated Ni Capital."

Li Shiwu spoke, with a lingering gloom on his face.

For some time now, the Li chaebol had suffered the most serious losses.

"I didn't expect Ni Yongyao’s actions to be so fast."

Han Zongxian said.

Originally, they had reached an agreement to deal with Ni Capital together and would take action when a good opportunity arose.

But they didn't expect that before they could wait for an opportunity, Ni Capital took the initiative to attack, and it was against all of them. Moreover, the effect was excellent, directly leaving them in a state of chaos, and they had never been able to spare a hand to deal with Ni Capital.

Only today did these chaebols find time to discuss the next countermeasures.

"I think we can't wait any longer. It’s obvious that Ni Yongyao is not a pushover. If we give him more time, who knows what tricks he might play."

Jin Zaicheng said in a deep voice.

"This is also my view. Ni Yongyao and Ni Capital are too dangerous; we cannot let him continue to be active."

Li Shiwu said, his gaze circling the room, taking in everyone’s expressions.

"The Lockheed company over in the US contacted me, saying they can deal with Ni Yongyao together. They can provide weapons and equipment, as well as an elite combat squad."

Li Shiwu continued.

"Use force?"

Jin Zaicheng frowned and asked.

"That’s right. Ni Yongyao does not follow the rules; the Zhao family is the best example. We don't need to talk about any rules with him either. We can just use the Americans to get rid of him."

Li Shiwu said.

Seeing Li Shiwu’s calm appearance, the few people in the conference room clearly knew that he had already made a decision, and saying it was just to notify them, not to discuss it.

"I agree."

Han Zongxian was the first to express his stance, and afterward, the others did not object, all expressing their agreement.

"As long as everyone agrees, that’s fine. Also, Ni Yongyao and Han Qiangzhi are very close. Once Ni Yongyao is solved, the next one will be Han Qiangzhi."

Li Shiwu said.

"That pup Han Qiangzhi should have died long ago. This time, we can solve it all at once."

Jin Zaicheng snorted coldly and said.

The other chaebols also had ugly expressions; it was clear that Han Qiangzhi had offended them quite a bit before.

And just when the chaebols thought they had the victory in their grasp and even started planning how to divide up Ni Capital, they never expected that Ni Yongyao’s actions were faster than theirs.

That night, a large number of incited Peninsula people, led by Ni Yongyao’s subordinates, began to storm the manors where the major chaebols lived.

With the experience of the previous "zero-dollar purchase," these Peninsula people no longer had any fear of the chaebols; instead, they became even more fanatical due to their long-standing resentment.

So, when Ni Yongyao’s subordinates destroyed the manor gates and killed the defending security personnel, the rioting crowds immediately poured into the manor like a tide, tearing apart the chaebol members who couldn't escape in time.

To deal with these chaebols, Ni Yongyao had planned from the beginning to solve them in a physical sense. After all, the chaebols had been entrenched in the Peninsula for long enough to have built up a tangled network of relationships. Even with Han Qiangzhi’s help, Ni Yongyao couldn't handle it in a short time.

Not to mention fighting with the chaebols within the rules. If that were the case, who knew how much time it would take, and whether Ni Yongyao’s goal could even be achieved in the end was another matter.

Therefore, Ni Yongyao chose the most direct and effective way he was best at: solving the problem at the root.

For this, Ni Yongyao first launched a public opinion offensive, then incited the Peninsula crowds, and finally, overnight, made the major chaebols that had been entrenched in the Peninsula for decades vanish into thin air.

As for the culprits, they were naturally the incited crowds.

Under Han Qiangzhi’s signal, the Peninsula police force quickly arrived at the scene and arrested a large number of perpetrators, including a batch of 1-star assassins.

According to Ni Yongyao’s orders, these assassins all claimed to be from the "North Peninsula" military, and their purpose in coming to the South Peninsula was to incite the crowds to riot and storm the chaebols.

After confessing this information, all the assassins committed suicide.

The next part was much simpler. With Han Qiangzhi controlling things from the shadows, the deaths of the major chaebols were pinned on the "North Peninsula." Whether anyone believed it didn't matter; the most important thing was that having this excuse was enough.

"Gold coins +1500."

"Gold coins +1000."

"Gold coins +1000."

"Gold coins +1000."

"Gold coins..."

In the Shenghai Building, system prompts kept appearing in Ni Yongyao’s mind, and they didn't stop until several hours had passed.
