Chapter 505: Just Kill One
There was a brief silence in the meeting room when assistant director Woo Yoon said that Lee Hyun-sook voted in favor.
Afterwards, a lot of questioning voices continued to arise.
"Ma'am, are you sure this is what the president meant?"
"Ma'am, I think there is something wrong with your bill. I need to meet with the president. I want to know his true thoughts."
"Madam, are you being threatened by the vice president? If so, you can just say it directly."
Almost everyone couldn't believe that Li Xianshu would agree to Yamamoto Yoshi's plan.
Let’s not talk about the fact that Yoshi Yamamoto and Kazuo Yamamoto had an unharmonious relationship.
Just because he colluded with the Army Department and forced the president to pretend to be sick and escape, it is impossible for the two of them to be on the same page on this point.
Even Yamamoto Yoshi didn't know what Li Xianshu was selling.
Yoshisaburo Yamamoto went to China to cut off Li Xianshu's retreat and swallow up Chen Yang's transportation route.
At this time, for the sake of her nephew, she should strongly oppose it.
How could she choose to agree?
The meeting ended in a noisy atmosphere, but the New World Plan was still passed. Some people were dissatisfied, but there was nothing they could do.
Black Dragon Society headquarters, president’s office.
Yamamoto Yoshi looked at the woman in front of him with disbelief in his eyes.
"Nami, I want to know why?"
After a long time, Yamamoto Yoshi finally asked the question in his mind.
"Brother, your plan is very good. I agree with it." Li Xianshu's tone was as calm as ever.
"You know, that's not what I'm asking." Yamamoto Yoshi really didn't know what to say.
"Because I am sure that the president will not agree with my plan."
Li Xianshu smiled and said, "The president will not agree, but I will agree."
"In the past year or so, the Black Dragon Society's transportation business has dropped by 30%, and almost all warehouses and transportation routes are in a loss-making state."
"If we don't seek change, we will just have to wait for the transportation routes to be divided up by others."
"Sasebo Naval Port, Fukuoka, Okamoto, Kyushu, these lines are mostly military ports, and our profit from transporting military supplies is not high."
"But the Mitsui Zaibatsu is different. Mitsui has oil fields and needs large ports. You give them these ports in exchange for 136 retail outlets. It's a profitable deal no matter how you look at it."
"If we manage well, we can build a strong retail network based on these more than 100 retail outlets."
Yamamoto Yoshi's eyes lit up, and he said in a deep voice: "Nami, you think exactly as I do."
"We can't continue with the previous model, otherwise, we will be dragged to death one day."
"We must abandon some ports that appear to have exclusive monopolies but are not profitable at all. This is a heroic act."
"Unfortunately, there are still many people who cannot see this. They think that clinging to their past glory will allow the Black Dragon Society to always stand at the top."
"Little did they know that the Black Dragon Society had already lost its power. Section Chief Takada of the Finance Department made the worst-case scenario."
"If we do not seek change, within three years, most of the He Long Society's lines will be paralyzed."
“We simply don’t have the funds to support that many routes.”
Li Xianshu smiled faintly. She could understand the plight of the Black Dragon Society better than Yamamoto Yoshi.
However, Yamamoto Kazuo insisted on not allowing any changes, so Li Xianshu simply hid in China and tried to avoid seeing it.
"Nami, I want to know what you want?"
"You're not helping me just to help me. You must want something." Yamamoto Yoshi didn't intend to beat around the bush with Li Xianshu.
Because, with his brain, he can never beat Li Xianshu. Instead of playing guessing here, he might as well speak frankly.
"I don't need anything. I just doubt whether Yamamoto Yoshisaburo has the ability to manipulate China's transportation routes."
Li Xianshu chuckled and said, "I know he is very talented in transportation management, but China's routes are a thousand times more complicated than Japan's."
"I'm not looking down on him, but I don't think he has the ability."
"You mean Yamamoto Yoshisaburo can't do it but Chen Yang can?" Yamamoto Yoshi's tone became gloomy.
Li Xianshu picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, then said calmly: "I know you don't believe it, so I don't plan to care about Yamamoto Yoshisaburo's plan."
"If he can replace Chen Yang and control the routes of the vertical and horizontal character classes, everyone will be happy."
"But I'm afraid he can't do it, so I need you to nominate and add a director position for Chen Yang."
"That's my condition."
Yamamoto Yoshi pondered, "I don't think those old guys will agree to nominating a Chinese as a director of the Black Dragon Society."
"Besides, the position of director is too important. Although Takita Yoshihito is the director of the Asian Affairs Department, all plans still need to be approved by the board of directors."
"There are 28 seats. No matter how powerful I am, how can I afford to add one more?"
Li Xianshu said calmly: "That's easy. Just kill one and let Chen Yang take over."
"Ah." Yamamoto Yoshi was stunned.
Killing a Black Dragon Society director and replacing him with a Chinese? This is not a joke,
Haha, Li Xianshu would never joke like that.
"I have already chosen the candidate. It is Director Kawada. This man uses the Black Dragon Society's port to engage in smuggling business with the gang. You kill him. As for nominating Chen Yang, I will have my own way."
Kawada Shintomo is the most cunning one among the conservatives and has many subordinates. Why choose him to be killed?
"Brother, you should know that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. The president doesn't like this person, and I don't like him either. I believe you don't like him either."
"Since we don't like him, why don't we find someone we like to sit in his place?"
"Don't worry, I will not participate in any of Yamamoto Yoshisaburo's actions in China, and I will not even help Chen Yang fight against Yamamoto Yoshisaburo."
"If it turns out that Yamamoto Yoshisaburo is indeed incapable of controlling China's transportation network, I hope you will agree to let Chen Yang take over."
"This material transportation route is not only for the benefit of our Black Dragon Society."
"The navy, the army, and even the Chinese army are trying to get high-speed supplies through Chen Yang."
Yamamoto Yoshi was shocked.
"You mean, your nephew not only serves the empire, but sometimes also helps the Chinese government transport supplies?"
Li Xianshu chuckled and said, "Is it strange? China's transportation network has been able to operate safely and without any problems until today. How could the government sit still?"
"If Chen Yang doesn't help, they will definitely find a way to disrupt railway transportation."
"That's a high-speed route. He was able to maximize the supply to the front, which definitely required recognition from many parties."
“Only when multiple parties benefit will everyone acquiesce to its existence.
"Moreover, I'm not the only one who knows about this. Admiral Nishio, the Supreme Commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and Vice Admiral Hase, the Commander of the Navy, are both aware of this."
