Chapter 232: Sneak Attack
Because Kenichi Sumiyoshi's power has an overwhelming advantage in the Sumiyoshi Kai, when it came to voting, Noguchi Jino, Kotama Masamiya, Shimada Yang and Takahashi Kosuke all voted in favor, Tomita Saburo was neutral, although he was very interested in the matter of cooperating with Long Xingyun, but his concerns made him abstain, and Kikuchi Taro, Kawabe Keiichi and Miyazakino voted against. In this way, the ratio of votes for and against is 4:3. Of course, there is also Kenichi Sumiyoshi, and his decision is counted as two votes, so the final result is naturally cooperation.
The matter has been reached, and a smile appeared on Kenichi Sumiyoshi's face. The thing he promised Long Xingyun didn't disappoint him after all, otherwise, there would be no place for his old face. After the cooperation was negotiated, Kenichi Sumiyoshi left a few people here to eat, but Kikuchi and the others were indignant, and they left with a shake of face. For the few people who left, Kenichi Sumiyoshi didn't pay attention to them. If Kikuchi and the others stayed, it wouldn't be a good thing.
Everyone may not have noticed that when Kikuchi and the others left, they looked at Long Xingyun with cruel eyes. When Long Xingyun cast his gaze over, he saw several people making a decapitation gesture for himself. Although there is nothing on the surface, in his heart, Long Xingyun has begun to be on guard. He's not afraid that the other party will come openly, but if Kikuchi and a few people do it, it won't be fun.
Just as Long Xingyun was secretly thinking about how to deal with Kikuchi and the others, Kosuke Takahashi walked up: "Dragon, what are you thinking?" ”
After looking at Kosuke Takahashi, Long Xingyun said the doubts in his heart: "Kosuke, I know that there will be struggles no matter where they are, but, in Sumiyoshikai, are the few Kikuchi Taro and them a little too much?" ”
"They? Hmph," Kosuke Takahashi pursed his lips disdainfully, "They all sat in their current positions because of their father's Yu Yin, and they have always looked down on those of us who worked our own. Moreover, that Taro Kikuchi and Chief Sumiyoshi competed for the position of chief of this term. However, because Taro Kikuchi's popularity was too poor, he failed. ”
Hearing Kosuke Takahashi say this, Long Xingyun finally understood what was going on. Indeed, if he loses in the competition for the chief minister, it is not surprising that Taro Kikuchi has such an attitude towards Kenichi Sumiyoshi. However, Long Xingyun was very worried that when Sumiyoshi would declare war on the Yamaguchi-gumi, Taro Kikuchi and the others would do something unfavorable to Sumiyoshi.
When Long Xingyun expressed his concerns, Takahashi Hongsuke was silent for a while before he said slowly: "Chief Sumiyoshi has also considered this matter, but the power under them is not small, so Chief Sumiyoshi is still not ready to move them unless it is absolutely necessary." Moreover, when facing the Yamaguchi-gumi, they should always be outward. ”
Will it always be open to the outside world? Perhaps. However, Long Xingyun didn't have much hope for what Kosuke Takahashi said. If the Yamaguchi-gumi promised any benefits to a few people, before facing huge benefits, not to mention Sumiyoshikai, even his own father could be betrayed.
Just as Long Xingyun was about to say something, Sukiyoshikura walked over: "Long-kun, Takahashi-kun, it's time to eat soon, will you two go to the restaurant now?" ”
Looking at his watch, it was already past eleven o'clock, Long Xingyun nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, Steward Sumiji, we'll go over right away." With that, Long Xingyun and Takahashi Hongsuke walked towards the restaurant.
After Taro Kikuchi and his family walked out of the Sumiyoshi family's manor, they came to one of Taro Kikuchi's residences in Tokyo. As soon as he arrived at the study, Taro Kikuchi kicked a chair away: "Hmph, Kenichi Sumiyoshi, this old man, didn't say anything about robbing me of the position of chief at the beginning, and now the meeting is just asking us to go to make up the numbers, what kind of vote?" Sumiyoshikai is now clearly his word! This bastard, brute, old immortal! After scolding for a while, Kikuchi Taro was still angry, and kicked over a lot of things next to him, only to slightly suppress the anger in his heart.
"That's right," Keiichi Kawabe echoed, "Declaring war on the Yamaguchi-gumi, isn't he looking for death?" And that man, I see, is just a random fishhook from the old immortal. ”
Miyazakino, who had not spoken for a long time, spoke up at this time: "Kawabe-kun is right, if war is declared on the Yamaguchi-gumi, I am afraid that the power we have accumulated for so long will be lost all of a sudden." Moreover, with Kenichi Yoshi's character, the three of us must be cannon fodder in front. Taro Kikuchi, this matter is not a trivial matter! ”
Hearing Miyazakino's words, Taro Kikuchi and Keiichi Kawabe couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts. Especially Taro Kikuchi, he himself was very dissatisfied with Kenichi Sumiyoshi, coupled with Miyazakino's words, his heart was already full of hatred for Kenichi Sumiyoshi: "Miyazaki-kun is right, we must not just sit still and wait for death!" Hmph, didn't Kenichi Sumiyoshi, that old man, want to go to war with the Yamaguchi-gumi? us off! ”
Although Taro Kikuchi didn't say it explicitly, Keiichi Kawabe and Miyazakino both knew that Taro Kikuchi must have wanted to combine with Yamaguchi. However, as long as their own interests are not damaged, where will they care about Taro Kikuchi's decision? Just as Taro Kikuchi and Keiichi Kawabe were discussing cooperation with the Yamaguchi-gumi, Miyazakino's face couldn't help but flash a sinister. If Taro Kikuchi and the others looked at Miyazakino at this time, they would surely be alert. However, the two didn't notice it, and they still looked excited.
Now that the cooperation has been decided, things should be done sooner rather than later, Long Xingyun transferred the domestic people to Japan, and at the same time did the preliminary work first, and the Sumiyoshi Kai also began to prepare. Although he didn't believe that Kikuchi and the others would betray Sumiyoshi, however, out of some concerns and some relatively secret things, Sumiyoshi Kenichi did not call the three of them. As for Saburo Tomita, although Kenichi Sumiyoshi didn't deliberately hide anything from him, he still didn't tell him about some things, intentionally or unintentionally.
Although Long Xingyun said that he united with Sumiyoshikai, looking at the state of Sumiyoshikai at this time, he also felt that it was not simple to confront the Yamaguchi-gumi. After all, it's always much stronger to twist into a strand than to spread out. However, there is no room for regret in the current situation. Long Xingyun contacted the village chief and asked him to help him a little more, while making arrangements for declaring war on the Yamaguchi-gumi.
Fortunately, although Sumiyoshi will be a little scattered, the ropes that are twisted separately are not thin, and at the very least, the early attack can still be completed. As a result, the three parties of the Sumiyoshi Society, plus the side of Long Xingyun, began to attack the Yamaguchi-gumi.
Because they didn't want to arouse the vigilance of the Yamaguchi-gumi, although everyone said that they attacked the companies under the Yamaguchi-gumi, they didn't deliberately attack a few of them too strongly. In business, it is normal to be attacked, but it is not normal if the companies affiliated with the Yamaguchi-gumi are attacked at the same time. As a result, there are many companies in Japan that have been affected by the company, and of course, the main purpose is the company of the Yamaguchi-gumi.
For a time, everyone in Japan was in danger, and they didn't know why someone suddenly attacked their company, maybe it was a big foreign consortium that wanted to make a fortune in Japan. However, because the attack area was so wide, the people of the Yamaguchi-gumi found that the company was attacked, but because there were many other companies that suffered in this way, they thought it was just an ordinary attack in business. This kind of thing is being released every day, and this time it is a little stronger, there is nothing special, and it has not attracted their attention.
It was like this for several days, and when the people of the Yamaguchi-gumi thought that someone wanted to declare war on the Yamaguchi-gumi and were about to counterattack, they suddenly found that the intensity of the attack was reduced. When he felt that the other party was no longer as strong as the previous two days, the people of the Yamaguchi-gumi fell silent. Although there are still attacks, they can no longer attract their attention.
Like a roller coaster, many of the companies affiliated with the Yamaguchi-gumi go up and down in bumps. Soon, however, they noticed that something was wrong. If it's just normal business activities, why do those companies' profits fall again and again? Moreover, several companies have declared bankruptcy because they are unable to continue to sustain themselves.
If the Yamaguchi-gumi hadn't been alert to this incident, they would have been truly stupid. It has been rampant and domineering in Japan for so many years, and even in some other countries, the Yamaguchi-gumi are also the top existences, who dares to touch the dragon's whiskers? Doing this now is clearly to disadvantage the Yamaguchi-gumi. When the Yamaguchi-gumi began to be on alert, the force of the attack on the subordinate companies of the Yamaguchi-gumi suddenly increased. In just half a day, eight companies declared bankruptcy.
Eight companies, even with the strong forces of the Yamaguchi-gumi, felt a pain in their flesh. No way, it's all snowflake money. At this time, they were not ready to hide anymore and appeared directly in front of that force in a violent way. If you retreat a little slower, if you want to retreat, it is pure dream. In a short time, a few forces that were still working were destroyed. However, compared to what was gained by the attack, the loss was nothing at all.
The first round of sneak attacks is over, and if you take stock, you can get ten times the loss. Moreover, this battle can be regarded as a big breath of relief for Sumiyoshi. Don't see that? The Yamaguchi-gumi lost so much, and for a while, various inspections became stricter. This made everyone who wanted to sneak attack have to bury the idea.
Sumiyoshi's manor, in the place where Sumiyoshi Yuko regained her appearance, Sumiyoshi Kenichi looked at Long Xingyun with a smile on his face: "Xingyun, this time it's really thanks to your help, otherwise, it's not easy to scrape the lower layer of flesh on the Yamaguchi-gumi." ”
