Chapter 1190 - 1187: Emerging Powers, Controlling a Region
"This time, Zhongyi Tang’s control capabilities in Vienna have made me realize something; Zhongyi Tang is rapidly absorbing local security personnel to achieve fast expansion!" Li Han said.
"What are you trying to say?" Huang Qiyang asked.
"There’s something else I need to tell you!" Li Han replied evasively, pulling out a USB flash drive.
Huang Qiyang immediately inserted it into the computer.
But it prompted for a password.
"The password is the pinyin abbreviation for ’Long live Daxia!’ plus the numbers 11101! And three exclamation marks and a hashtag!" Li Han said.
After Huang Qiyang entered the password.
The document content immediately appeared.
While Huang Qiyang was reviewing it, Li Han continued, "Our discovery was purely by accident. We met a friend on the dark web; he’s from Kimchi Country, lamenting the darkness there. Although Kimchi’s news can be reported freely, and everything seems so free, everything is controlled by conglomerates!"
Browsing the documents intently, Huang Qiyang’s face turned complex, "Is this information real?"
If the information is true, then.....
Li Han nodded affirmatively, "It’s real. We’ve verified it repeatedly. The situation in Kimchi is unique; it’s gotten to the point where even if it’s publicly reported, it wouldn’t matter!"
Huang Qiyang was silent, "Don’t tell anyone, including our colleagues!"
"Got it!" Li Han said.
Huang Qiyang waved his hand, signaling Li Han to leave.
After Li Han left, Huang Qiyang pulled open a drawer.
Opened a hidden compartment inside the drawer.
Then took out a satellite phone.
Huang Qiyang dialed the satellite number of Yun Bing’s private plane.
Luofeng answered immediately.
"Old Huang, what’s the matter? I’m in the sky!"
Huang Qiyang questioned, "What are you doing over in Spain?"
"You know, our family member Duanmu Yunji is participating in a competition in Vienna. Since I’m in Europe, naturally I wanted to check out Leonore?" Luofeng said.
Huang Qiyang felt uneasy.
Luofeng wasn’t telling the whole truth.
No, Luofeng told a partial truth, he was indeed going to see the little princess, but there was another purpose he didn’t disclose.
Would you call this lying?
"Is that the only reason?" Huang Qiyang asked.
"Turns out it was you investigating in secret? We were wondering who it was, and it turned out to be you?" Luofeng made complaints.
Luofeng continued, "You should’ve told me sooner; if you want to know something, just ask me!"
"Now, tell me, what are you doing in Spain?" Huang Qiyang inquired.
"Two things! The first thing was already mentioned, I’m just visiting Leonore!" Luofeng said. "The second thing is investment!"
"Specific investment project!" Huang Qiyang asked.
Everyone knows about wine, so it’s certainly not that.
"Energy and security!" Luofeng said.
"What’s your goal?" Huang Qiyang fell silent.
"The purpose of investment is to make money, of course!" Luofeng said.
"But....." Huang Qiyang didn’t know what to say, does Luofeng even need money now?
"Alright, Old Huang, you’re being paranoid again. I haven’t done anything bad; rather, I’m using this opportunity to target Australia. I’ve already arranged for Crown Import and Export Trading Company to connect with Spain, if successful, we can cut off Australia’s wine supply!" Luofeng said.
Huang Qiyang questioned, "Aren’t you worried that suddenly swapping Australia’s share with Spain’s will lead to poor sales within China?"
"Why worry?" Luofeng questioned in return.
"You’re very confident?" Huang Qiyang said.
"Don’t be silly, I can’t be certain, but we’re in a big data era, all right? As long as we’re willing to advertise, who wouldn’t prefer good and inexpensive Spanish wine? Eventually, who will remember Australian wine?" Luofeng said.
"Users are most sensitive to price, not origin!" Luofeng continued, "Moreover, even if we completely lose, it’s just over twenty billion, isn’t it?"
Luofeng spoke arrogantly.
As if he lost twenty bucks.
"It appears that what you’re doing in Spain is quite complicated!" Huang Qiyang remarked.
"Feel free to investigate!" Luofeng said.
"What about your dealings with Tsarist Russia?" Huang Qiyang changed the topic.
Luofeng replied calmly, "I have quite a few dealings with Tsarist Russia; which one do you want to ask about?"
"Forget it, let me guess, you want to ask if Tsarist Russia sold lots of advanced equipment to me, right?" Luofeng continued.
"Yes!" Huang Qiyang nodded.
"We are a legitimate security company. We perform tasks in multiple regions standing on the side of justice; our reputation internationally is great, so why would they refuse us?" Luofeng said.
Huang Qiyang didn’t believe Luofeng’s explanation, saying, "Last question, have you heard of XDSS?"
"Ah? What’s this? Could it be the latest internet slang on Weibo?" Luofeng said.
"Haha, you really don’t know?" Huang Qiyang laughed.
"Should I know?" Luofeng retorted.
Luofeng said, "Xd? Could it be Xia Da? SS, is it Confidential Security? Is there such an organization?"
"Haha, to be honest, I suddenly can’t tell if you truly don’t know or are pretending not to know!" Huang Qiyang said.
"Of course I don’t know what this place is about. I’ll state upfront, I’ve not stolen any information from there!" Luofeng said.
"XDSS is not a Confidential Security Bureau. Its full name is Xraydefenspecislsecurity; how should this be translated?" Huang Qiyang said.
"Should I know? Don’t ask me!" Luofeng was puzzled.
"I believe you certainly know!" Huang Qiyang said.
"Old Huang, just say, what exactly is XDSS, why do you keep probing me?" Luofeng said.
"You really don’t know?" Huang Qiyang asked again.
"That’s why I want you to tell me the situation." Luofeng said.
"This Death Ray Defense Security Company is a security company in Kimchi; on the surface, it’s just a regular company, but it suddenly rose three months ago, there was no sign beforehand, it didn’t even exist!" Huang Qiyang said, "In just three months, it’s become a leader in the Kimchi security domain!"
"After this security company was founded, it possessed a strong network, with some well-trained security personnel appearing out of thin air, and it has large funds, countless intelligence zones, and other channels in the dark, allowing them to obtain equipment and various resources they want! In this case, is this security company actually a cloak under other companies?" Huang Qiyang said.
"Based on the information we obtained, this company is currently deeply involved with Kimchi officials, with data showing it manipulates Kimchi’s election circumstances. Luofeng, do you think this company might succeed?" Huang Qiyang asked.
"Since this company is deeply involved with Kimchi officials, given the situation there, it’s very simple, I’d blindly guess this company is one of Kimchi’s top five conglomerates. If not, then extend to the top ten!" Luofeng said, "To be precise, it should be the top nine, as Hyundai Motor and Hyundai Heavy Industries are essentially one!"
"In Kimchi, such conspiracy is clearly executed by conglomerates, you should understand, right?" Luofeng said.
Huang Qiyang was silent, as Luofeng made valid points.
Luofeng continued, "Wait, Old Huang, you keep probing me, do you think this XDSS is an enterprise under Zhongyi Tang?"
"Isn’t it?" Huang Qiyang countered.
