Chapter 483
"Go on."
Ni Yongyao waved his hand and said.
After a period of time, Planet Broadcasting leaped to become the premier broadcasting company in Hancheng, with many television stations and newspapers under its banner; these were naturally all obtained from other companies.
And those hard-liners or companies loyal to the chaebols all suffered "North Peninsula" attacks without exception, suffering heavy losses and nearly being in a state of suspension.
In a short period of time, Ni Yongyao had 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 Lee family chaebol factory."
Ni Yongyao ordered.
Mike was best at creating accidents, so sending him to commit arson at the Lee family chaebol factory was most appropriate.
"Yes."
Mike agreed and immediately left the office.
Hancheng suburbs.
This was an electronics factory of the Lee family chaebol, large in scale, with tens of thousands of workers alone, and it belonged to the core factory sequence within the Lee family chaebol.
The businesses operated by the Lee family chaebol spanned multiple fields, but the most core one was still the electronics field.
As long as an accident occurred here, not only could it cause huge losses to the Lee family chaebol, but Ni Yongyao could also use this point to launch a public opinion offensive to strike at the Lee family chaebol.
On the perimeter of the factory, Mike changed into a factory uniform and silently slipped into the factory's interior.
Not long after, fires broke out simultaneously in various parts of the factory, and the raging flames quickly ignited, soon spreading 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 Lee family chaebol to the ground.
This fire not only caused heavy losses to the Lee family chaebol but was also widely reported by the media, causing a huge uproar.
And this was just the beginning; medical accidents, car accidents, power-for-sex trades, and other scandals were all exposed, and for a time, most chaebols, including the Lee family chaebol, were pushed to the forefront of the storm.
These things hadn't not happened before, but at that time, the right to speak was in the hands of the chaebols, so many things couldn't be reported, and even if they were, they would soon be suppressed, and then nothing would come of them.
Now it was different; the right to speak was not in the hands of the chaebols but was controlled by Ni Yongyao, so naturally, the chaebols' scandals were played up 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 shadow of the chaebols, and by 1991, it was almost making ordinary peninsula people unable to breathe; the all-encompassing exploitation had long since caused the peninsula people to accumulate a bellyful of resentment, which previously just hadn't had a chance to be vented, but now, slightly incited by the media controlled by Ni Yongyao, it immediately erupted.
And then, 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 all subordinates sent out by Ni Yongyao.
"Mr. Ni, large-scale protests and demonstrations broke out in various regions today; here is the detailed information."
Inside the Shenghai Building, Huohu handed a document to Ni Yongyao and said.
Ni Yongyao took the document and flipped through a few pages.
"The next step of the action can begin."
Ni Yongyao said.
"Okay, I'll go arrange it right away."
Huohu said, taking out her phone to make a call.
Inciting the peninsula people to protest against the chaebols was just the first step; Ni Yongyao knew very well that the major chaebols were deep-rooted, and protests alone were useless; to the chaebols, it was nothing more than scratching an itch through a boot.
Ni Yongyao's true purpose was merely to use the protests to ignite the peninsula people's desire to resist the chaebols; the main event was to come next.
As Ni Yongyao's orders were conveyed, the leaders in each protest group began to act, leading the crowds, who had already become fanatical because of the protests, to storm the industries of the major chaebols.
Factories, shopping malls, and other places—as long as it was a chaebol industry, they were all stormed, or rather, subjected to large-scale zero-dollar shopping.
During this process, the peninsula police also came forward to stop them, but with Han Qiangzhi there, the police just went through the motions; after all, the peninsula police had always been dogs raised by the 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 period of time, the rioting crowds had destroyed the industries of the major chaebols to a very serious degree, causing losses to the chaebols far more severe than the factory fires, even threatening their survival.
Lee family 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 group of people on the peninsula were sitting in this room, and even if the president came, he would have to be cautious upon seeing these people.
"It seems we all underestimated Ni's Capital."
Li Shiwu spoke, a trace of lingering gloom on his face.
During this period, the Lee family chaebol had suffered the heaviest 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's Capital together and would take action when a good opportunity arose.
But they hadn't expected that before they could wait for an opportunity, Ni's Capital would take the initiative to strike, and against all of them at that; yet the effect was extremely good, directly leaving them in a state of chaos, unable to free up their hands to deal with Ni's Capital.
Only today did these chaebols find the time to discuss the next countermeasures.
"I think we can't wait any longer; it's clear that Ni Yongyao is not a pushover, and 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's Capital are too dangerous; we cannot let him continue to be active."
Li Shiwu said, his gaze sweeping around the circle, taking in everyone's expressions.
"Lockheed Martin from the US contacted me, saying they could work together to deal with Ni Yongyao; 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 in his actions, and the Zhao family is the best example; there's no need for us to talk about rules with him, and 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 saw that he had already made a decision, and speaking it out was just to inform 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 resolved, the next one will be Han Qiangzhi."
Li Shiwu said.
"That dog cub Han Qiangzhi should have died long ago; this time, we can resolve it all at once."
Jin Zaicheng snorted coldly and said.
The other chaebols also had bad expressions; it was clear that Han Qiangzhi had offended them quite a bit in the past.
And just when the group of chaebols thought they had the victory in the bag and even began planning how to divide up Ni's Capital, they never expected that Ni Yongyao's actions were faster than theirs.
That same 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 shopping, these peninsula people no longer had any fear of the chaebols, but instead became even more fanatical because of the long-standing resentment.
Thus, when Ni Yongyao's subordinates destroyed the manor gates and killed the defending security personnel, the rioting crowds immediately surged into the manor like a tide, tearing the chaebol members who couldn't escape in time to shreds alive.
In dealing with these chaebols, Ni Yongyao had planned from the very beginning to resolve them in a physical sense; after all, the chaebols had been entrenched on the peninsula for long enough to have built up a tangled network of relationships, and even with Han Qiangzhi's help, Ni Yongyao couldn't have handled 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 directly chose the method he was most skilled at and the most direct and effective one: resolving the problem at the root.
To this end, Ni Yongyao first launched a public opinion offensive, then incited the peninsula crowds, and finally, in one night, made the major chaebols that had been entrenched on 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 quickly arrived at the scene and arrested a large number of perpetrators, among whom were a batch of one-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 subsequent matters were 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..."
At the Shenghai Building, system prompts kept appearing in Ni Yongyao's mind, not gradually stopping until several hours had passed.
