Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

After receiving the subpoena from the Kwun Tong District Court, Yang Mo had a vague feeling that this matter was not simple. In all likelihood, there was something wrong within Zhiyuan Steel Company.

Yang Mo instructed Lin Guohua to investigate secretly. It didn't take long for Lin Guohua, a former scout, to identify several people who behaved abnormally.

He Rongkui, who wandered around the workshop all day, also came into Lin Guohua's sight. Coupled with his gambling addiction, he became a key target of surveillance.

After observing for two days, I didn’t see anything unusual. In the morning while having morning tea outside, I heard someone in the teahouse talking about an old incident that happened in the casino more than half a month ago: a gambler was set up and lost. Lost 20...

Lin Guohua's heart moved, and he asked about the appearance of the gambler, who was basically the same as He Rongkui.

Yang Mo pondered for a moment and then asked: "Have you found out who owns that casino?"

Lin Guohua replied: "I don't know much about the power of these associations, but some people say that this casino and a hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui have the same owner?"

Yang Mo blurted out: "Daihe Hotel?"

Lin Guohua said in surprise: "It seems to be this name? How did you know?"

Yang Mo thought for a while and said: "Keep an eye on them for now and don't act rashly. You are no match for them!"

Lin Guohua said unconvinced: "There are just a dozen gangsters. As long as you say a word, boss, you can make them look good in no time!"

Yang Mo smiled bitterly and said: "This is not an ordinary gangster. The Dahe Hotel is run by the Japanese. Their boss Kajida also has an unknown identity. He is the agent of the Japanese underground force Yamaguchi-gumi in Xiangjiang!"

Lin Guohua said disdainfully: "What happened to Japan's Yamaguchi Group? This is Xiangjiang!"

Yang Mo asked in surprise: "How many people do you have on your hands now? Aren't you just asked to form a factory protection team to avoid trouble caused by gangsters like loan sharks?"

Lin Guohua scratched his head and chuckled: "The factory protection team only selected fifteen people. They don't do assembly line work. They take turns on duty during the day shift and the night shift. They are equivalent to the security department in the mainland!"

Yang Mo sneered and said: "More than a dozen people want to take advantage of the Yamaguchi group! Besides, these people in the factory protection team are all supported by their families. You can't lead them to fight! If something happens, how will you tell them? Family members’ explanation?”

Lin Guohua said solemnly: "Don't underestimate these dozen people. Half of them are from the army. They are good at fists and kicks. Moreover, they all have their own gang of brothers from the same hometown. If something happens, they will do it!"

Yang Mo thought for a while and then said: "Choose some trustworthy brothers. You might encounter something bad recently. Keep an eye on He Rongkui first. Wait for my notification at the casino. Don't act rashly until you find out their details!"

...................................................

He Rongkui walked out of the casino in a drunken state, cursing and saying: "Go to the street! Burn bridges and go back on your word! The agreed [-] Hong Kong dollars have been turned into Japanese yen, bah!"

As soon as he reached the entrance of the alley, he was blocked by two gangsters. He Rongkui suddenly sobered up and ran back, but after a few steps, he saw Brother Ji leading two people blocking the way.

He Rongkui simply fell to his knees and begged for mercy incoherently: "Brother Ji, you don't remember the faults of villains. I was wrong. I will return the money to you right now..."

Brother Ji didn't say anything, and struck the back of He Rongkui's neck with his palm. He Rongkui groaned, fell to his knees and passed out. The two gangsters quickly stuffed He Rongkui into a sack.

Brother Ji said in a deep voice: "Do it cleanly and don't get discovered!"

The two gangsters walked out of the alley carrying the sacks, stuffed them into the trunk of a car parked on the side of the road, and drove towards the seaside.

They walked to a deserted beach near Castle Peak Bay in Tuen Mun before pulling over. Two gangsters took out the sacks from the trunk and picked up a few stones from the roadside to put them into the sacks and sink them into the sea together...

At this moment, a taxi rushed up with its headlights flashing. Lin Guohua and a strong man from the factory protection team jumped out of the taxi and ran straight towards the two gangsters. Taking advantage of the two gangsters' stunned efforts, they killed each other with one kick. The two gangsters were kicked to the ground, and they rushed forward and subdued the two gangsters...

It was only then that the taxi driver believed that the two men in front of him were actually police officers on a mission. Lin Guohua took out all the money in the pockets of the two gangsters and handed them to the taxi driver. Then he took the two gangsters and He Rongkui back to the steel company's factory.

Without much trouble, the two gangsters confessed Brother Ji. Yang Mo immediately had people guard the outside of the casino, fearing that Brother Ji would run away after getting the news, and then called Lin Jianshan to report it.

Lin Jianshan made a phone call to his friend Superintendent Ye, and the whole of Kowloon became busy. The police followed the clues. Not only was the casino seized, but Kajita from the Grand River Hotel was also invited to the police station to assist in the investigation.

In a rare act of resoluteness, the police quickly found out the ins and outs of the incident and held a police briefing before the second trial of Qiu Dao's commercial infringement case against Zhiyuan Steel Company.

At the second court hearing, local newspapers and radio stations in Xiangjiang and Western mainstream media almost surrounded the court door. Yang Mo wore sunglasses and a sun hat and accepted interviews from major media. At the end of the interview, Yang Mo used a murderous and heartbreaking paragraph. The closing words completely pushed Qiu Dao into the crater:

"It's hard to imagine that Akishima Co., Ltd. would use such despicable means to maliciously frame its competitors. In fact, Akishima may have overestimated itself. A company that relies on data fraud and framed competitors is not worthy of becoming Zhiyuan Steel. The company’s rival!”

"Respecting intellectual property rights is a symbol of whether a civilized society can develop healthily. However, you want to use dishonorable means to take possession of the results that others have invested heavily in research and development. Zhiyuan will never cooperate with such an enterprise that takes advantage of others. , I believe that most companies with conscience and social responsibility will never cooperate with Akishima Co., Ltd. again!"

"Zhiyuan will file a counterclaim with the Japanese District Court as soon as possible. The case of Akida's theft of trade secrets and infringement of reputation rights is solidly proven. I don't believe that the Japanese District Court dares to risk the world's disdain and favor local companies. After Zhiyuan wins the case, all the compensation will be donated to Develop a charity!”

Akishima Co., Ltd. lost both its wife and soldiers this time. Not only did it lose the lawsuit and was stranded in Xiangjiang, subject to investigation by the Commercial Crime Bureau, it was also unable to raise any objections to the high-strength marine steel patent application process in the future!

The media's fueling of the situation has also made Zhiyuan Steel Company a star company in Hong Kong. Yang Mo himself also knows that this time he has offended the Japanese badly, and neither the Akishima Co., Ltd. nor the Yamaguchi-gumi will let him go easily.

It seems that you still need a little bit of power that belongs entirely to you. Whether it is the bright side or the dark side, you need to be able to protect yourself.

In Xiangjiang, underground forces can do whatever they want as long as they have money, while official forces need to form a community of interests. If you can bring benefits to others, only at critical moments will someone sell you face...
