Chapter 345: Defeat Them Individually! Kick It Out
In terms of understanding.
Kim Taeseok knew very little about Chen Jie.
Even before this, he had hardly heard of Chen Jie's 'Qinglong Society'! Because,
The place where the Qinglong Society rose was Southeast Asia.
In the Southeast Asian region, various forces were complexly intertwined; apart from several major families, other forces were difficult to attract attention.
Unless it was a force like the 'Tianyuan Group' that had developed for many years, otherwise other Asian forces would not pay too much attention to the changes among the various forces in Southeast Asia.
Kim Taeseok began to pay attention to Chen Jie, still because of the introduction of Araki Shiro of the Rishima Inagawa Association.
At the same time,
Chen Jie directly took action against Ishii Takashi of the Rishima Yamaguchi-gumi in the cruise ship conference hall, almost killing the other party.
All of this made Kim Taeseok very wary of Chen Jie.
He knew that this First Expert of Asia Underground Boxing was a ruthless and vicious person.
On the ring, he struck fiercely, viciously, coldly and ruthlessly.
Every opponent was either crippled by him or killed on the spot.
A extremely domineering and arrogant 'new force' Dragon Head! It had to be said,
Although the Qinglong Society had not been established for long, it had already gained a foothold in Southeast Asia and became a top-tier major force in Southeast Asia.
Especially after eliminating the Liu Family, one of the largest forces in Southeast Asia, it gave the Qinglong Society a say in Southeast Asia.
Before this,
Because the Qinglong Society had few opportunities to deal with other Asian forces.
Many people did not know much about the Qinglong Society.
They thought this force was just a small force that had just emerged, although its development momentum was very fierce.
But its foundation was still lacking a lot, especially compared to those old-established forces, it would not have any impact.
Compared to forces like the 'Yixin Society', Qixing Tang, Yamaguchi-gumi, and Inagawa-kai.
A trivial Qinglong Society still seemed somewhat small.
But this small force actually caused such a huge sensation in Southeast Asia.
Especially Chen Jie's identity made many forces feel pressure.
Not easy to provoke!
The First Expert of Asia Underground Boxing, the 'Qinglong Society' established only a few months ago, could stir up a storm in Southeast Asia.
Moreover, at the previous meeting, Chen Jie almost killed Ishii Takashi, the Person in Charge of the Yamaguchi-gumi in South Korea.
He faced the Yamaguchi-gumi, the Inagawa-kai, and all the forces present without any fear.
He even dared to take action directly, not putting other forces in his eyes at all.
This kind of spirit was not something an ordinary person could possess.
Additionally,
When this Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society faced his own boss of the South Korean 'Yixin Society', he actually acted so calmly.
It had to be said, all of this made Kim Taeseok look at him with new eyes.
Kim Taeseok was not a good person in South Korea either; he was equally ruthless and vicious, having killed many people.
He could have his current status, all killed out.
Anyone who provoked him, he was merciless and ruthless.
At this time Chen Jie not only had no trace of fear, but even had the aura of a superior; even when facing Kim Taeseok, there was an overwhelming aura.
This was the confidence of a strong person; unconsciously, he was about to issue orders to Kim Taeseok.
From the surface, Chen Jie acted very calmly.
In his eyes, there was hidden an extremely strong pressure; even Kim Taeseok, a general who came out of the army, felt a strong sense of oppression.
The most terrifying thing was that the Qinglong Society was a group of true desperadoes.
Chen Jie could steadily suppress everyone; he was definitely not an ordinary person.
Even Fatty Wang Hou, a figure who could once be called a hegemon in Southeast Asia, even in all of Asia, had already submitted to the Qinglong Society.
So, when hearing that the Qinglong Society rose in Southeast Asia, many forces were suppressed all at once.
Exhale—! Kim Taeseok couldn't help but take a deep breath.
He was silent for a moment, raised his head to look at Chen Jie, and sighed, saying: "Mr. Chen Jie, you are indeed the First Expert of Asia Underground Boxing!"
"I, Kim Taeseok, have never submitted to anyone, but you, I have to admire your courage and bravery."
Fatty Wang Hou stood to the side, smiling and saying:
"Mr. Jin, rest assured, as long as you cooperate with our Qinglong Society, it will not be bad for your 'Yixin Society'!"
"Since we dare to take fifty percent of the South Korea Underground Boxing share, we are sure to swallow it!"
"To tell you the truth, when you become one of the largest forces in East Asia, our Qinglong Society will only become stronger; our support for your development will only increase!"
"General Jin, we are old acquaintances, knowing each other for many years!"
"You may not know the Qinglong Society, but you should know my character, Wang Hou."
"I joined the Qinglong Society and gave up everything before, naturally because the development prospects of the Qinglong Society are better than before, with greater potential!"
"Believe me, the goal of the Qinglong Society is not Asia, but the whole world!"
"One day, the Qinglong Society can become one of the most powerful forces in the world, and this day will not be too far!"
Wang Hou's eyes emitted a powerful confidence.
Kim Taeseok narrowed his eyes, lowered his head and was silent for a moment.
Next, he seemed to have made up his mind, gazing at Chen Jie and saying: "The conditions you gave indeed make me feel very satisfied."
"To be honest with you, I'm tempted. I don't want to miss this development opportunity, and I want to secure an Ice Line from you."
"However, the fifty percent market share of the South Korean Underground Boxing World you mentioned is absolutely impossible. Our Ixin Society's market share in South Korea is held in cooperation with other forces."
"If your Qinglong Society takes fifty percent, that would be equivalent to our Ixin Society having nothing left."
"At the very least, before your Qinglong Society demonstrates sufficient strength, cooperating with us carries risk."
"I am a true soldier, and moreover the Person in Charge of the Ixin Society. I must not only focus on benefits, but also pay attention to the Ixin Society's future development."
"What you're telling me now is all just the future."
"Chen Jie Hinas, since you've agreed to give our Ixin Society an Ice Line, giving you twenty percent of the profits is fine with me. That's within my acceptable range."
"But a fifty percent share of the South Korean Underground Gambling Boxing Market is too high!"
"Thirty percent! That's our bottom line! However, I can promise you that once the Ice Line you give us stabilizes, I can raise the share to forty percent!"
"Haha—if you really can build Busan, South Korea into Asia's second Gambling Boxing Holy Land, I, Kim Taeseok, promise you that I'll let you manage fifty percent of the Gambling Boxing Market share!"
"Actually, giving you fifty percent of the market share would leave our Ixin Society with far less remaining market share than you!"
"Once you get fifty percent of the South Korean Underground Gambling Boxing share, that's equivalent to indirectly controlling the South Korean Underground Gambling Boxing Market."
"What do you think of this proposal?"
Chen Jie raised his head and gazed at the other party, nodding slightly, a faint smile appearing on his face. Next, he extended his hand and shook hands with Kim Taeseok.
Kim Taeseok's face likewise showed a faint smile; the two sides counted as having reached a consensus.
Chen Jie said with a smile: "Alright then! I hope the Qinglong Society can form an alliance with the South Korean Ixin Society—a true alliance relationship, not just ordinary cooperative partners!"
"In the future, if your Ixin Society encounters difficulties in South Korea or elsewhere in Asia, our Qinglong Society will definitely provide full support!"
"Whether it's manpower, guns, money, or whatever else, allying with our Qinglong Society won't let you suffer a loss!"
"Believe me, as long as you become allies with us, it will absolutely be the most correct choice you've ever made."
Although Chen Jie was merely the Dragon Head of an emerging force in Southeast Asia.
He spoke big words about building South Korea into Asia's second Gambling Boxing Holy Land, which sounded somewhat arrogant.
But,
Kim Taeseok believed in his heart that this young man before him, since he dared to say it, would definitely be able to do it.
He didn't know why this person gave him such a strong sense of trust.
The infectious confidence emanating from Chen Jie had already influenced Kim Taeseok.
Leaving aside whether he can actually pull it off, allying with the Qinglong Society right now doesn't seem to have any downside.
If the Qinglong Society fails, then so be it.
Once the Qinglong Society succeeds, not only would he gain the development of an Ice Line, but simultaneously in the Gambling Boxing Market, he could obtain even greater benefits than now.
Moreover, although it's an alliance, if the Qinglong Society fails, it wouldn't cause much loss to the Ixin Society.
This kind of alliance cooperation relationship seems very favorable to the Ixin Society.
Kim Taeseok nodded, saying solemnly:
"Deal! Since Mr. Chen Jie is so sincere, our Ixin Society agrees to your terms. We'll form an alliance!"
"Whether in South Korea or elsewhere in Asia, if Mr. Chen Jie has any needs, as long as our Ixin Society can do it, we'll definitely go all out to handle it for you!"
Exhale—! Chen Jie let out a breath, saying with a smile: "General Jin, putting it that way, our Qinglong Society and the South Korean Ixin Society have formed an alliance as of today!?"
Kim Taeseok nodded solemnly: "Yes, alliance! Alliance as of today!"
The two discussed the relevant details of the alliance a bit more.
Half an hour later,
Chen Jie said: "General Jin, it's getting late. Our cooperation this time is settled!"
"I won't be attending the upcoming Cruise Ship meeting!"
"The regional division among the various Asian forces doesn't have much to do with us."
"I'm not very interested in other places, and I have no interest in other business either."
"Since our cooperation is finalized, I'll leave here first."
Kim Taeseok nodded with a smile: "Fine! Not attending this gathering actually has no impact. You have a conflict with the Japan people, and facing them at the Cruise Ship gathering, they'd target your Qinglong Society again."
"How about this: for the next few days, you travel around South Korea and have some fun."
"Although South Korea's geographic area isn't large, there are quite a few fun places. The girls here are very pretty, with a unique charm; perhaps you'll take a liking to it here."
Chen Jie shook his head: "Forget it, next time! I still have important matters to attend to!"
"We plan to leave South Korea early tomorrow morning."
Hearing this, Kim Taeseok immediately frowned:
"Leaving tomorrow? In such a rush?"
"Are you worried about retaliation from the Japan Yamaguchi-gumi people? You don't need to worry about that."
"This is South Korea, not Japan. No matter how arrogant the Yamaguchi-gumi people are, they wouldn't dare act recklessly in South Korea."
"Although we have a cooperative relationship with the Japan Yamaguchi-gumi, if they want to cause trouble here, we absolutely won't allow it."
Chen Jie shook his head, saying calmly: "Since I dared to move against Ishii Takashi of the Japan Yamaguchi-gumi, I'm not worried about their retaliation!"
"I'm leaving South Korea because I need to start preparing for the Global Underground Gambling Boxing Championship. General Kim Taeseok, I hope you can help me with one thing!"
Kim Taeseok said in surprise: "What is it?"
Chen Jie thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "After this gathering ends, you provide me in detail with the departure routes and departure times of each organization."
Hearing this, Kim Taeseok immediately frowned, narrowing his eyes: "What did you say? Mr. Chen Jie, what are you planning to do?"
"Although this gathering's location is our South Korean Busan, it was initiated by Japan's Yamaguchi-gumi and Inagawa-kai."
"According to the agreement among the various Asian organizations, no force entering South Korean Busan is allowed to carry firearms or bombs."
"The important reason they follow the rules is because our South Korean forces provide them with security guarantees."
"You want their departure time and route — are you planning to secretly move against the enemy forces?"
"Do you know what the consequences of doing this would be? Regardless of whether you succeed or not, all our South Korean forces will suffer for it, you know?"
"And the forces attending the Han Guo Fu Shan gathering are merely representatives; many of the leading figures didn't come in person. You want to ambush them — it has no meaning at all."
Chen Jie shook his head, smiling calmly: "General Jin, you misunderstand. We don't want to cause trouble, and we absolutely won't bring you any trouble."
Kim Taeseok took a deep breath, his face grave as he said:
"Any force that comes to Han Guo Fu Shan — as long as they enter the shipyard, their safety is guaranteed by our South Korea 'Yixin Society' and 'Seven Stars Hall'!"
"We will not allow any firefights to occur, nor will we allow you to ambush anyone."
"Speaking frankly, if any force's representative dies in South Korea, we all have to bear a huge responsibility."
"In the cruise ship's conference hall, you merely injured the Yamaguchi-gumi representative Ishii Takashi — we can turn a blind eye."
"If Ishii Takashi dies, we can only handle it by the book, detain you, and hand you over to the Rishima Yamaguchi-gumi to deal with."
"We just formed an alliance, Mr. Chen Jie — is this how you treat an ally?"
"If that's the case, then the alliance between us will have no meaning whatsoever."
Chen Jie smiled and said:
"General Jin, I said I won't set you up — you can rest absolutely assured!"
"Since we're allies, I couldn't possibly harm your interests. I just want to stir up a little conflict between them, make them fight each other, so it doesn't affect our alliance!"
"Only in muddy water can one catch fish; once conflict breaks out between them, our cooperation will go even more smoothly!"
Kim Taeseok froze at those words, exclaiming in surprise: "You mean—?"
Chen Jie said calmly: "It would be best if a little conflict broke out between Central Asia's 'Old Gun Society' Asawaqi and the Inagawa-kai!"
"The Rishima people want the entire Asia underground boxing market — they're our strongest competitors. We need to create some obstacles for them."
Kim Taeseok frowned and said: "Rishima Inagawa-kai? You want to make the Inagawa-kai and the 'Old Gun Society' clash?"
A thread of a smile appeared on Chen Jie's face as he said in a low voice: "The Rishima Inagawa-kai's appetite is huge; their relationship with your South Korea Seven Stars Hall — you should know it very well!"
"If you don't kick the Inagawa-kai out of the game, your 'Yixin Society' will have endless trouble from now on."
Kim Taeseok couldn't help but take a deep breath; the surroundings fell quiet.
