Chapter 2785 There is no need to pity beasts
Hong Kong.
Li San led his men to the dock, his expression grave as he looked at the approaching cargo ships.
Through the phone call, he already knew what was on the cargo ship and the purpose of this operation, and a burning desire stirred within him.
It's finally time to fight back!
Moreover, after contacting that comrade from the Ninth Department, I understood the significance of this operation even more clearly.
It's a paradise that will completely crush the mundane aspects of daily life.
The goal is to destroy paradise so that it can never rise again.
It's worth noting that recently, the Little Life Paradise arcade has gained a foothold in Hong Kong.
In particular, the other party's game console had five games, more than double the number of games available in the new era.
Moreover, people were getting tired of the two new-era games because of their longevity, which allowed the Paradise console to take advantage of the situation.
He was extremely anxious during this time.
Whenever I see how popular Paradise arcades are, I feel like I could lead a group of people to smash up those shops.
Fortunately, I know in my heart that there are some things I can only hate, but cannot do.
Otherwise, it would be breaking the rules.
But now, Li San understands everything.
It turns out that the people back home had planned this all along and had quietly made an even better game console.
Although he didn't know what it looked like, he would soon find out.
At the same time, he was also thinking, what kind of game console could give his comrades such strong confidence that they would say that the previous game consoles were all garbage?
I was really curious.
"Third Brother!"
Hearing Xiao Qi's voice, Li San snapped out of his daze and saw the cargo ship docked at the pier.
A person was standing on the deck looking in this direction.
After Li San clearly saw the man's appearance, his expression changed again. Without thinking too much, Li San quickly stepped forward, stood firmly on the dock, raised his hand in salute, and said urgently, "Reporting, Captain! Li San, squad leader of the reconnaissance company, reporting for duty!"
The heavy sound startled everyone around, and they all looked at the figure on the ship with awe in their eyes.
"Li San, take a break!"
After a long while, a hoarse voice came from the deck. Li San's spirits lifted; he heard that familiar voice again.
When everyone saw the people coming down from the deck, their expressions changed.
This man was not old, but he was missing an arm and an eye.
But in Li San's eyes, this man was his captain.
"team leader!"
That sound was filled with trembling.
"Well done!"
The newcomer was dressed in military green, his voice was still hoarse, but he had a smile on his face.
"Captain, I didn't expect you to come! This is really, really great!"
Li San stepped forward and grasped the captain's left hand, still excited.
"I wasn't supposed to come, but my superiors asked me to, so I came!"
The captain chuckled as he spoke, then looked at the cargo ship behind him, "Fortunately, there haven't been any problems along the way."
Li San nodded, looking at the cargo ship with eager eyes.
Of course, what they didn't know was that not far below the surface of the sea, a submarine was quietly anchored, and a telegraph machine inside the submarine was transmitting messages.
Arrived safely!
"Quick, help unload the ship!"
Li San gave the order, and Xiao Qi and the others immediately led them onto the boat.
At the same time, a group of people also stepped out of the ship, each with a serious expression.
With everyone working together, the goods were unloaded one by one and then sent to the warehouse.
Outside the dock, a group of people looked curiously at the goods on the dock, and some even wanted to inquire about the situation.
However, upon receiving the news this morning, the Flying Dragon Gang members secured the surrounding area. They did not block the road; they simply set up a stall on the road.
If you want to enter the walled city, you should wait and see.
The dock was bustling with activity, yet everything was orderly.
Li San invited the captain to his home and then introduced his family to him.
"Captain, this is Gu Qingqing, my love!"
Li San introduced his wife, and the captain smiled and nodded.
"Qingqing, this is the one I told you about, Captain Qu!"
"Captain Qu, hello."
Gu Qingqing called out gracefully, and the captain nodded repeatedly, then praised, "Li San is so lucky to have found a wife like you!"
Upon hearing this, Li San smiled, his eyes filled with affection.
Then, looking at the cute little child, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a medal. "I came in a hurry this time and didn't bring much with me."
"Keep this for the kids to play with!"
As he spoke, he pinned the medal to the child's clothes.
Gu Qingqing, who was standing nearby, recognized that this medal was unusual. She had seen one in her husband's honor box, and it was also her husband's most treasured one.
Individual Second-Class Merit!
"Captain Qu, this is too valuable, this..."
Gu Qingqing repeatedly declined, but the captain's face hardened. "This isn't for you, it's for the children! When they grow up, they'll understand how hard their parents' generation worked!"
Li San, standing to the side, laughed and said, "Qingqing, just accept what the captain gave you."
"Besides, the captain doesn't lack these things!"
Captain Qu immediately burst out laughing upon hearing this, "What nonsense are you spouting, kid? Do you really think this thing is as common as cabbage?"
Li San chuckled and said, "They're not cabbages, but I heard from Old Chen that your boys each have one for fun!"
Upon hearing this, Captain Qu's face fell, and he waved his hand, saying, "Don't even mention those things, just talking about them makes me angry!"
Seeing the two of them like this, Gu Qingqing quickly put the medal away.
This gift is also a form of recognition.
The two sat down and started chatting.
Gu Qingqing was busy preparing the meal.
Captain Qu sighed, "When you left, I was extremely unwilling and couldn't understand it."
"But after I learned about your mission and what you were doing, I suddenly felt much more at ease."
"Stepping onto this land now, I feel a sense of being in my homeland yet feeling like a stranger. I know we've been away for far too long!"
Hearing Captain Qu's感慨 (sentiments/reflections), Li San said earnestly, "It's been too long, it's time to come back!"
Captain Qu nodded, and then asked about the situation over the years.
Li San gave a general account of how he came to be there, and Captain Qu nodded from time to time, then shook his head repeatedly.
I've learned a lot more about this place.
“You did a great job. You changed your clothes, but your inner blood remains the same.”
Captain Qu was deeply moved after hearing about what Li San had done over the years.
"This place is ultimately ours, our land, and our people."
"If you can help, then lend a hand."
"They didn't have a choice!"
Upon hearing this, Li San nodded, "I know, that's how we've always done it!"
Just as the two were talking, Xiao Qi walked in from outside and said, "Third Brother, all the goods have been put into storage, no problem."
Li San nodded, then said to Captain Qu, "Captain, I'll go make a phone call first."
Captain Qu nodded, "You go ahead and get busy, we'll be back in a bit!"
As agreed, they came here to deliver goods and could not stay for too long.
Li San nodded, then went inside, picked up the satellite phone, and went to the rooftop.
The signal is best here.
The satellite phone rang twice, and Xu Yuanshan's voice immediately came through.
"Hello, this is Xu Yuanshan from the Ninth Division!"
Li San composed himself and said earnestly, "Hello, Director Xu, I am Li San from Hong Kong!"
"Hello, Comrade Li San! Has the goods arrived?"
"We've arrived! We've put it in the warehouse and checked it to be correct!" Xu Yuanshan's voice was also a little excited when he heard Li San's reply.
"Alright, Comrade Li San, we can begin according to plan!"
"Each game console comes with an instruction manual and two game cartridges."
"The third game cartridge needs to be purchased separately; you'll have to decide that yourself!"
"Also, and most importantly, it can be connected to a TV. As mentioned before, there are two ways..."
Xu Yuanshan spoke faster and faster, but he couldn't stop.
Li San listened attentively, not daring to miss a single detail.
He knew that their performance was about to begin, and they absolutely could not afford to make any mistakes.
"Let's leave it at that for now. Please let us know if there are any problems!"
Finally, I wish you all the best!
Xu Yuanshan finally finished speaking, and Li San took a deep breath, "Don't worry, we will do our best!"
"Ok!"
After they finished speaking, they hung up the phone.
Meanwhile, in his office, Xu Yuanshan stared at the satellite phone in his hand, his emotions unable to settle for a long time.
In Shanghai, the first shot has been fired.
The emergence of the Canon 70 copier was like a bomb that shattered Canon's plans.
Two days have passed, and the achievements of the Shiguang 70 photocopier are all over the country, with radio broadcasts and newspapers everywhere.
That's fine domestically, but I've heard it's even more intense overseas.
Those who received a photocopier at the press conference went home and started using it immediately.
As a result, things spiraled out of control.
That afternoon, people flocked to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy the Shiguang 70 copier, and the large orders from the foreign trade department were even more extravagant.
Those who had originally ordered the Shiguang copier also came to us, saying they were willing to pay the difference and change their orders to the Shiguang 70.
Under such circumstances, Xu Pengfei and others, who originally thought their inventory was sufficient, had no choice but to ramp up production.
Even so, orders were still pouring in until next year.
Even so, many people are still willing to wait after learning about the advantages of the Shiguang 70 copier.
As for Canon copiers, even if they were sold at a loss, no one would buy them.
Some have even sensed something unusual is going on; Canon is about to make a big mistake.
Even the entire Japanese island will suffer as a result.
Now, all nine departments are relentlessly pursuing them, aiming to crush them with a single blow.
Seeing the photocopier bustling with activity, it would be a lie to say he wasn't anxious.
I haven't been able to sleep these past two nights; I keep thinking about where my game console is.
What if something goes wrong?
What if I worry about not achieving my goal?
Now, I can finally rest easy.
After putting the phone down, Xu Yuanshan breathed a sigh of relief, then went out to Yang Xiaotao's office and gently knocked on the door.
The office door opened, and Lou Xiao'e nodded slightly when she saw Xu Yuanshan. Then she whispered, "Director Yang is on the phone!"
Only after he finished speaking did he allow Xu Yuanshan to enter the office.
Upon entering the room, Xu Yuanshan saw Yang Xiaotao holding a satellite phone, frowning as he spoke. When Xu Yuanshan entered, Yang Xiaotao simply nodded and continued speaking.
Xu Yuanshan found a seat near the door, but he still vaguely heard some things.
“Mr. Faisal, I reiterate, we can set aside other things, and we won’t care about the price.”
"Canon's camera technology, including their factories, data, documents, research projects, etc., must be handed over to us intact!"
"This is our bottom line!"
Yang Xiaotao spoke with absolute certainty; it was the first time Xu Yuanshan had ever seen Yang Xiaotao so serious.
Especially when the other person is a foreigner like Faisal, many people feel inferior when facing foreigners these days. They will use honorifics when speaking to each other and will even take the initiative to consider the other person's feelings.
But for Yang Xiaotao, it was as if this didn't exist at all.
This made him feel like it was unreal.
Just then, Faisal's troubled voice came through the phone, "Yang, we've done our best. The people in the island nation have already started protesting in the streets after they found out we acquired their Canon company..."
"Even their leaders knelt before us, begging us to ease the conditions and give them a way out..."
"And as you know, we have a lot of investments in Japan. If we go too far, it will also have an impact on us..."
Faisal's voice came through the phone, and Yang Xiaotao was furious!
Damn it, after so much planning, it was almost a success, just one more push away, and you're backing down at the crucial moment? Did you sleep with the emperor's daughter or something? Why are you betraying us so quickly?
Yang Xiaotao switched the phone to the other ear, his face growing even uglier. He then said bluntly, "Faisal, aren't you mistaken about something?"
Yang Xiaotao suddenly interrupted Faisal's explanation, then shouted in a very harsh tone, "You fucking businessmen, you capitalists, what is your biggest asset? Money! What do you pursue? Profits, interests."
"All you have to do is put the money you earn into your pockets."
"Stop fucking talking to me like that!"
"And also, put away your pathetic sympathy."
"You softened your heart when those people from the Japanese islands knelt before you, and you just gave up making money?"
"Wake up! I guarantee that the moment you agree, those Japanese islanders will call you an idiot! Do you believe me?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
Lou Xiao'e looked down at her pen on the other end of the phone.
Liu Lixue's eyes gleamed as she stared intently at Yang Xiaotao.
Xu Yuanshan was getting restless. How could someone be cursing like that?
And they're even insulting international friends?
This can't be done! This can't be done!
He disagreed in his heart, but his smile was brighter than anyone else's.
Yang Xiaotao sat on the table, ignoring the changes in the expressions of the three people in the room, and continued, "Listen, Lao Fei, we've been neighbors with this ethnic group for so many years, we love you and we understand their customs!"
"They're just a bunch of cowards who fear power but not morality. Look at the United States, they beat them black and blue, and now they're behaving like obedient dogs."
"Old Fei, listen to me. As long as you follow the agreed terms and you keep them in line, I guarantee you'll receive the highest level of hospitality every time you go to Japan."
"The more memorable you are to them, the longer they will remember you."
"They might even summon their emperor's daughter to accompany you on your sightseeing trip!"
"Really, brother, I never lie!"
Yang Xiaotao spoke earnestly, sounding more like a strange uncle instigating children to do bad things.
Faisal, on the other end of the phone, was trembling with fear at Yang Xiaotao's outburst, but upon closer listening, he realized there was some truth to it.
The key was Yang Xiaotao's explanations, which resonated deeply with him.
Faisal, to put it bluntly, was just a businessman.
They are businessmen who move between capital markets.
It is natural for businessmen to pursue profits.
Aladdin won't blame you!
"Brother, listen to me, this is a rare opportunity."
"Of course, if there is any pressure, I can speak with His Highness the Prince..."
Just as Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Faisal's voice came through the phone, "Oh, no, no, dear Yang, I admit I was a little, well, a little sentimental earlier."
"But you have to understand, everyone has feelings, right? This is just normal human behavior."
"However, your warning made me realize my mistakes and the significance of being a successful businessman."
"Don't worry, leave this to me. No one understands the ways of business better than the great Faisal Aziz ibn Abdul Rahman."
"Trust me, Yang, I will succeed. We will definitely punish these despicable thieves."
"Believe me, no one is more suitable than me."
Faisal's voice carried a mixture of excitement, ingratiation, and fear.
Because he has a clearer understanding of himself.
Without the prince's favor, he was just an ordinary businessman.
Even if Yang Xiaotao doesn't necessarily tell His Highness the Prince, or even if he does, it might not cause His Highness to distance himself from him.
But what if?
Merchants can hoard goods and speculate, taking risks.
But he would never offend his backer.
Hearing that the other party had backed down, Yang Xiaotao seized the opportunity and said, "That would be best!"
"Faisal, let me reiterate: you must accept everything completely, down to the last piece of paper and every single screw!"
"You know what I mean!"
"I understand, I understand. I'll put pressure on them right now, I'll go right now..."
After saying that, the phone hung up.
