Protagonist:

Chen Yi

Chen Yi had to admit that Yan Qi Masayoshi's suggestion was still very tempting.

If professionals promoted the Martial Arts Hall nationwide, at least nationwide recruitment, it would still be a very good thing, allowing the Martial Arts Hall's scale to expand rapidly while increasing talented students.

With Chen Family's current development trend, it wouldn't be long before Chen Yi could greatly increase the number of students on the West Continent without arousing suspicion—even if suspicion was aroused, it didn't matter.

But Chen Yi had definite needs, so he regretfully shrugged and said: "I don't plan to enter the global market in the near future."

Yan Qi Masayoshi felt Chen Yi's hesitation was an opportunity, and hurriedly said: "We have the world's best promoters, familiar with countries around the world……"

Chen Yi waved his hand and said: "Not interested."

"Then, what are you interested in?" Yan Qi Masayoshi pressed.

Chen Yi played with the mouse on the desktop, smiling like a cat toying with a mouse: "First I want to assess the assets of Jiangnan Shipyard, then I can tell you what requirements I can satisfy."

Yan Qi Masayoshi's face changed greatly.

Hirose Kurea, hearing the Translator's words, her lips turned white like a candle intestine. If Jiangnan Shipyard's assets were reassessed, not to mention the resulting criticism, even selling at a low price would greatly reduce their benefits.

Of course, from the perspective of the Mitsubishi Group as a whole, if they could buy Jiangnan Shipyard it would be victory. But Yan Qi Masayoshi had planned this for so long, and Hirose Kurea came to China under the enthusiastic request of Headquarters—selling at a low price would definitely label them "incompetent."

"Mr. Chen! We sincerely want to buy Jiangnan Shipyard." Yan Qi Masayoshi bowed deeply. If he had cleavage, he would definitely show it off now.

"I understand your feelings……"

"12% premium, Mr. Chen."

"This isn't about money."

"Is it about Chen Group? If you need precision engineering technology, I can decide to transfer part of it." Yan Qi Masayoshi knew Chinese people liked technology; they believed technology changed the world. This statement might have been correct in the 19th century, and not bad in the 20th century, but by the 21st century, capital changed the world.

Developed countries like Europe, America, and Japan that had completed capital accumulation had long turned technology industries into second-rate industries. They had too many elites who could innovate and develop technology; the only restriction was funds. Therefore, whose technology was more advanced was no longer the only requirement for technological progress; adapting to the market was a life-and-death important proposition. Unless another world war came, or some other danger threatening all humanity, technology would be capital's little brother, following closely, never escaping its control. And as long as there was capital, any technological development was merely a matter of time.

Chen Yi hesitated again, but finally shook his head.

"Mr. Chen!" Yan Qi Masayoshi was anxious.

"Come back after the assessment."

"No, Mr. Chen, assessment is bad for both of us." Yan Qi Masayoshi hurriedly said: "If the assessed price is low, it's bad for you; if the assessed price is high……our creditors will face challenges, yes, challenges."

Chen Yi shook his finger and said: "We have never participated in an assessment; even if the assessment is wrong, Jiangnan Shipyard should bear it, don't you think?"

"Mr. Chen, this is……this is discrimination. You are using your government resources to threaten foreign companies!" Hirose Kurea, mixing Chinese and Japanese, said angrily.

Chen Yi shrugged and said: "Turn off your mobile phone, otherwise there's no need to talk."

Yan Qi Masayoshi suddenly turned back and growled: "Hirose-kun!"

"I did nothing." Hirose Kurea guiltily took out his mobile phone and turned it off.

"Chen Yi-kun, I want to apologize to you." Yan Qi Masayoshi glared fiercely at Hirose Kurea and said: "I will punish him when I go back."

He was angry that the recording hadn't succeeded, not about Hirose Kurea's recording behavior.

Japan's political structure differed slightly from China's, but the essence was the same. Zaibatsu politics and China's political inheritance model greatly enhanced bureaucratic power, so that zaibatsu and bureaucratic enterprises both possessed unshakable upper-class resources—this isn't to say they couldn't be shaken, but like a banker who might cheat, they possessed favorable timing, location, and people, with resource discrimination and judicial discrimination everywhere.

In Japan, Mitsubishi Group was a beneficiary of commercial discrimination; their methods of dealing with competitors were as numerous as cow hair. And in China, Mitsubishi Group was also a beneficiary of commercial discrimination; tax discrimination alone could give them 5% more profit.

However, compared with Chen Group or Jinsheng Securities, Mitsubishi Group became a victim of commercial discrimination; unless evidence was conclusive, they could only submit to rules designated by Chen Yi. One could imagine that even if Jiangnan Shipyard was exposed and Mitsubishi Group was forced to withdraw from equity, Jinsheng Securities' creditor rights would not be affected.

Thinking of this, Yan Qi Masayoshi pressed Hirose Kurea and Yamashita Horyu's heads and bowed deeply to apologize.

Chen Yi said indifferently: "Suit yourself, don't cause trouble anymore."

Yan Qi Masayoshi breathed a sigh of relief and asked urgently: "Then, what do you think of 15% premium, plus Chen Family Martial Arts Hall's nationwide promotion?"

Chen Yi shook his head and said: "Trivial details."

Yan Qi Masayoshi was exhausted, sweating all over, had to think again, and finally guessed: "Is it because of Mingde Group?"

Chen Yi smiled imperceptibly.

"We are willing to end our cooperative relationship with Mingde Group." Yan Qi Masayoshi thought he had grasped Chen Yi's lifeline, and regarded it as competition between Chen Group and Mingde Group.

Chen Yi did not smile this time.

"Then, is it Jiangbei Demolition?"

Chen Yi chuckled lightly again.

Yan Qi Masayoshi finally figured it out and asked in a low voice: "Is it Jiangbei Port?"

"Speaking of Jiangbei Port, how many shares do you own?" Chen Yi finally sat up straight.

"Municipal Government 30%, us 60%, Mingde Group gets 10% shares and residential land." Yan Qi Masayoshi answered like a grandson. He had no objection to the grandson identity; the key was to gain actual benefits.

Mitsubishi and Mingde Group, with banks as the center, almost like getting something for nothing, obtained Jiangbei Port. If they could also get Jiangnan Shipyard, it would be perfect merit.

They were willing to take out 4 billion RMB for 30% equity; subsequently, to gain control, they would have to shell out more money. Bowing and kneeling to gain even 1% equity was worth more than dignity.

Chen Yi touched his chin and smiled: "Interesting."

If Chen Yi bought it with money, Yan Qi Masayoshi would absolutely not sell Jiangbei Port, but if exchanged with Jiangnan Shipyard's equity, whether from Mitsubishi's interests or his own interests, he could only comply.

Yan Qi Masayoshi almost gritted his teeth and said: "Then, 15% of Jiangbei Port equity, in exchange for 7 creditor rights."

The renovation of Jiangbei Port cost Mitsubishi nearly 1 billion US dollars; including land price costs, 15% of port equity was worth around 1.5 billion. 7 creditor rights cost Chen Yi 1.68 billion; seemingly equivalent, but if reassessed, the premium would definitely be over 20%. This was the room he left for paying back debts extravagantly.

"21% can be considered."

"19% is the limit."

The Municipal Government's 30% plus 21% would gain control of Jiangbei Port. Yan Qi Masayoshi held tight to this, but he soon proposed a compensation plan of 280 million yuan, exactly 2 years' interest on 7 creditor rights.

After the conversation lasted half an hour, Chen Yi nodded and agreed to this plan.

"We will sign the contract immediately." Yan Qi Masayoshi almost didn't want to delay a second. After each contacted their lawyers, he again seemingly casually smiled: "Just now you said you wanted to assess the shipyard's creditor rights; I think we can invite Jinsheng Securities to join in, to conduct an assessment as soon as possible……this can clarify the value of our creditor rights."

He hoped to eliminate the hidden danger.

Chen Yi nodded understandingly and said, "No problem."

His decisiveness surprised Hirose Kurea. They all thought Chen Yi would propose new conditions.

The lawyer had also drafted an appraisal clause in the contract, requiring that if the appraised price fluctuated up or down by 5%, the contract would be terminated.

The key point here was naturally a downward fluctuation of 5%.

Chen Yi read through it extremely quickly and signed his name.

Yan Qi Masayoshi needed no further words—he was practically snatching the contract to sign it himself.

After the contract signing was completed, seven creditor rights, namely 10.5% of the equity, were also transferred. Hirose Kurea clenched her fists tightly. Although it was not the best result, it wasn't bad either—the control right of Jiangbei Port remained theirs, and the 21% equity of Jiangnan Shipyard was the first step. Once they bought the creditor rights held by CMM, they could reach 30%, enough to transform Jiangnan Shipyard into a joint venture company, thereby arranging new directors and vice presidents.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Chen Yi. Then, we won't disturb you anymore." Yan Qi Masayoshi was afraid Chen Yi would regret it.

Chen Yi watched as several Japanese people got into a Mitsubishi-series Nissan Infiniti, then lightly picked up the phone and called Zhu Guangliang: "Catch Ming An Tu for me."

"Catch him for real?"

"Nonsense."

"Don't hang up yet... I don't have definite evidence on my end. If the Ming Family comes looking for trouble, what then? Even so, we still have to do it under the Party's leadership, right." Zhu Guangxin silently cursed in his heart: Aristocratic scions don't know how difficult things are.

Chen Yi grunted an "en" and said, "Come to my place, and you'll have evidence."

"Alright. But what is it?" Zhu Guangliang couldn't help but ask; once people were arrested, it would be hard to turn back.

"Steamy videos of nearly 100 fleeing corrupt officials, found in Ming An Tu's safe."

"Not exactly direct evidence... Fine. I'll send people right now." Zhu Guangliang thought to himself: This time, I'm really sticking my neck out.
