Chapter 720: Handling the Capital Gate Threat

There's no way around it; in this era, to promote one's own brand, carriers are an insurmountable hurdle.

Running the Xiao Lingtong system is the cheapest brand promotion method right now.

And Yang Qing is absolutely right.

In some backward regions, the Xiao Lingtong network can even last for ten or twenty years.

Such a long profit cycle is also worth the Yang Family's effort.

After the cooperation is confirmed.

Yang Qihang then dispatched Xu Xiangqian.

To send him to the non‑Western world to establish, acquire, or invest in telecom companies.

Then to promote the HK brand.

The cheap Xiao Lingtong network indeed has great advantages in the non‑Western world.

The network setup is cheap, maintenance simple, and the operating system mature.

Very quickly, Huawei received the Yang Family's order.

The Yang Family's communications business also began to expand at breakneck speed.

Western countries pay little attention to poor regions with very low profits.

The Yang Family, however, takes it gladly.

They truly are poor, even unable to afford it.

But they have abundant resources.

For Yang Qihang, any resource is valuable; bring it back to Daxia for processing into products, then sell them through the Capital Gate Club.

After years of development, the Capital Gate Club has become a massive commercial organization, with huge quantities of products sold worldwide each year through its channels.

The people of the Capital Gate Club who originally did not join the Hidden Dragon Covenant have long since joined, and in recent years have attracted massive numbers of Mainland merchants.

Those who want to go out and make a name for themselves first join the Capital Gate Club, then are introduced by the Jingmen Club to sign a covenant.

The Capital Gate Club now has over a million merchant members.

The Daxia people serving them number over twenty‑million.

Daxia merchants have already become an undeniable force worldwide.

Moreover, these people are interested in poor regions; they welcome Capital Gate Club members who wish to develop the economies of such places.

They have now completed expansion into the East Asian market and are now fully opening the Nanbei market.

As for Feizhou, their plan still requires waiting a few years.

Now, to coordinate with the Yang Family's communications business,

the Capital Gate Club decided to advance its expansion into the Feizhou market.

Starting in year 05, a large number of people surged toward Feizhou.

Because Feizhou's conditions are harsh, the Qian Long Mercenaries initially deployed five thousand troops to establish forward bases, cooperating with the Capital Gate Club's expansion.

To date, the Qian Long Mercenaries have grown to over twenty‑thousand members.

They have become a force not to be underestimated.

Moreover, the current Hidden Dragon has also recruited many locals.

To facilitate the development of local business.

As the Capital Gate Club further expands globally, the number of Daxia citizens traveling abroad each year has reached an astonishing two‑plus million.

The window for Daxia to export the poor is closing, at most another ten‑plus years.

After that, it will be the time for the rich to make their escape.

Long Shan, to support the Feizhou expansion, also sent his most elite personnel there.

The Thirteen Hall followed shortly thereafter.

He has already planned that once Feizhou stabilizes, he will gradually hand over the Capital Gate.

Focusing solely on running his own Thirteen Hall.

Doing black business is very lucrative.

Far more profitable than the Capital Gate.

The Capital Gate is troublesome and earns little.

The Thirteen Hall, being simple, makes even more.

Not to mention other ventures, his annual human smuggling alone fills his coffers.

He can now transport over twenty‑thousand people to Yingjiang each year.

At ten thousand net profit per person, that's two hundred million.

And he can ship nearly one hundred thousand people to the entire West.

That amounts to one billion.

That doesn't even include other black income.

And their scale is still growing.

With such huge profits, why does he still foolishly act as a Capital Gate leader?

After Yang Qing returned, he met Long Shan once.

He indeed has the bearing of a heroic figure.

Facing the massive power of the Capital Gate, he can abandon it without hesitation.

That is not something an ordinary person can do.

Yang Qing once asked him.

"What do you think the future of the Capital Gate looks like?"

Longshan had no hesitation at all, and spoke directly.

Sooner or later, the Capital Gate Club will suffer a severe blow.

No one will tolerate such a huge power existing.

Now there are already over ten million.

In another ten years? Thirty million, fifty million?

This is an extremely unstable factor.

For now, the Capital Gate Club can still bring benefits to various countries.

When the Daxia people further encroach on the locals' living space.

If another economic crisis occurs.

The Capital Gate Club is very likely to become someone's punching bag.

Anti-Daxia incidents in the world are not few.

It hasn't erupted yet; it's just that the time hasn't come.

Moreover, there are those Western wolves out there.

They won't stand by while we expand further.

What Longshan said is also what Yang Qing worries about.

At least on the surface, the Capital Gate Club organization is too big.

He must reduce the presence of the Capital Gate Club.

The Capital Gate Club also needs to change.

Yang Qing raised his head to look at Longshan and asked.

If I let you disband the Capital Gate Club in some mature places and then secretly have them form a new force.

What do you think?

Longshan's eyes narrowed.

Brother Yang, what do you want to do.

Yang Qing: "Name it after the local place name, turn the Capital Gate Club into a union, and then absorb the members."

Coincidentally, most of the Capital Gate Club's members are workers.

But the Capital Gate Club's purpose remains unchanged.

Just change the Capital Gate Club from a society nature to a legal public welfare organization.

The Capital Gate Club is the same; turn the Capital Gate Club into a local chamber of commerce.

Its purpose also remains unchanged.

The Qian Long Mercenaries will also be turned into a local security company.

Coordinate with Great Wall Security to maintain it.

Unless it's the most dangerous moment, we won't engage in violent resistance, but we retain the ability to resist.

This idea is excellent, especially in winning over the locals.

Form a community of shared interests.

This way, the danger to the Capital Gate Club is greatly reduced.

Moreover, after localization, others also have no reason to use them to directly strike.

However, it's still not perfect.

If one wants to protect one's rights and interests.

Government, police, and law are all indispensable fields.

Either indirectly participate or directly participate.

The rest depends on Daxia.

As long as Daxia develops and grows stronger, no one will easily act against us.

If Daxia's development gets worse and worse, our say will become smaller and smaller.

Being bullied is hard to avoid.

So the people of the Capital Gate Club must find ways to make Daxia better and better.

When Daxia encounters difficulties, we should reach out, even indirectly influencing Daxia's future.

Longshan's words are very profound.

It seems he has thought about this.

Letting him be the head of the Capital Gate Club is indeed correct.

Yang Qing patted his shoulder.

Then this task is entrusted to you.

Within three to four years, in those already stable places, complete the transformation and try to reduce the presence of the Capital Gate Club as much as possible.

Also, appropriately intermarry with locals, especially those with power and wealth.

Daxia will get better and better.

This needs no doubt.

Also, Thirteen Hall is good, but its business is licking blood from the knife's edge; you may be willing to do it, but what about your children? And the families of those brothers' children?

Pure black has no future.

Only gray is a suitable position.
