The Supreme Beauty Fell in Love with Me

"Their power in Japan is formidable." Huo Di quickly said, "The Triad and the Hundred Rivers Association are not the same. The Triad is a nationwide criminal organization, while the Hundred Rivers Association is merely a local group in Fukuoka City and doesn't carry much weight."

"Don't worry." Zhou Kai laughed, "Since we've chosen to come to Japan, we're definitely not just here to eliminate the Hundred Rivers Association. We're here to establish the Jvyi Gang in Asia and take it to the world. Understand?"

"Yes, yes!" Huo Di quickly nodded.

Although Zhou Kai's tone was somewhat exaggerated, Huo Di had no doubts about the strength of this group of young people.

Lin Chuan walked over slowly and asked, "How is the seafood being distributed to the fishery's merchants?"

"It's not distributed." Huo Di hastily said, "The Yoshino family is quite greedy; they buy all the docked seafood from fishermen at a flat rate. Merchants in the fishery must go to the warehouse to pick up goods, and the prices are set by the Yoshino family."

"Then why does the Triad get to pick up the goods directly from the dock?" Lin Chuan asked.

"That's because the Triad is strong. They have a seafood processing plant at the Fukuoka Fishery, and the processed products are directly exported overseas through the harbor..." Huo Di answered Lin Chuan's question earnestly and explained, "Moreover, the purchase price for seafood by the Triad is at a flat rate. They don't profit a single cent, and the Triad's seafood processing plant often delays payments. This is what frustrates the Yoshino family the most."

"Alright." Lin Chuan nodded, "From now on, continue to operate in this manner. If the Triad's seafood processing plant wants to pick up goods, they must pay triple the price, or they won't get even a single fish."

"Uh..." Huo Di was dumbfounded, awkwardly saying, "Mr. Lin, this... this isn't very good, is it?"

"There's no such thing as good or bad." Lin Chuan smiled, "From today, this fishery operates under my orders!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Huo Di immediately nodded upon hearing this. He knew Lin Chuan intended to drive the Triad out of the fishery. However, he still felt uneasy inside, given the Triad's strength.

"Seize this vehicle." Zhou Kai gestured, "All the seafood on the truck should be hauled to the warehouse."

"Yes!" Everyone nodded in agreement.

The warehouse was a massive cold storage facility. Not only did it have special areas for breeding fish, but also cold storage for convenient long-distance transport.

At the warehouse entrance, a large number of merchants were already waiting for the seafood's arrival. Japan's annual seafood consumption is colossal. Japanese people have a habit of eating raw seafood—salmon sashimi, fish roe... raw octopus...

Thus, their sales are substantial. Moreover, some trading companies directly export large quantities of seafood abroad. Exporting to China, Southeast Asia, and even far-reaching markets like Europe and America generates considerable foreign revenue. This all translates to big money.

As the delivery truck reached the warehouse, merchants swarmed to find the person in charge and immediately placed orders to snap up the goods.

"Damn, it's this hot?" Zhou Kai was astonished at the scene of people scrambling for seafood.

"Of course!" Huo Di laughed, "Not only do Japanese people need massive seafood consumption annually, but they also need to export in large quantities. Can you imagine it not being popular? This is considered the off-season. Few go to sea for fishing in winter, and the fish numbers are generally low. Spring is here soon, the prime fishing season, when it truly gets busy. Not only do merchants in the fishery scramble, but many trading company vehicles also come here to buy the first batch for export, yielding good prices and opening markets."

"Wow, so this fishery is really profitable?" Zhou Kai exclaimed joyfully.

"Absolutely!" Huo Di chuckled, "The Yoshino family used to make tens of millions of US Dollars from this fishery every year. Managed well, and after expelling those corrupters, making tens of millions annually is entirely feasible."

"Good, good." Zhou Kai couldn't help but feel ecstatic.

Yet, conquering is easier than defending. Seizing this fishery only sent the Hundred Rivers Association packing, but many still eyed the Jvyi Gang with envy.

The Triad's seafood processing plant failed to procure products. The processing plant's manager hurried to the office to negotiate.

The processing plant manager was a man named Li Wanshan, and Li Wanshan was Chinese. His ancestors emigrated to Japan, and he joined the Triad very early on, becoming an integral part and the manager of the seafood processing plant.

He was already aware of what happened this morning, so he immediately rushed to the office of the fishery's person in charge.

Lin Chuan and Zhou Kai were in the office discussing how to deal with the Triad when unexpectedly, someone from the Triad's seafood processing plant showed up. This slightly surprised Lin Chuan.

"Mr. Lin." Li Wanshan entered and first bowed.

"And you are?" Lin Chuan asked, puzzled at how fluently this apparent Japanese person spoke Chinese, surprising him.

"I'm with the Triad, my name is Li Wanshan, and originally I'm from China." Li Wanshan smiled and said, "I know you're curious about my fluent Chinese. I'm here to discuss the procurement of goods with Mr. Lin."

"Haven't I made myself clear?" Lin Chuan laughed, "If your seafood processing plant wants to procure goods from our fishery, it must be at three times the market price."

"Mr. Lin, I know you're speaking out of anger," Li Wanshan smiled awkwardly, "How about this, tonight, I'll treat you all to dinner. We're all Chinese, let's discuss things over a meal..."

"Discuss my ass," Zhou Kai retorted angrily, "What's there to discuss with you, a Japanese?"

"My ancestral home..." Li Wanshan looked embarrassed.

"You're just a traitorous piece of crap," Zhou Kai sneered, "You even abandoned your nationality to join Japan. Do you have any dignity?"

Clearly, Zhou Kai was very angry at a Chinese person obtaining Japanese nationality. He truly despised Li Wanshan, seeing him as a traitor.

Li Wanshan chuckled calmly, as if he was used to such attitudes. He said with a smile, "No matter what, business is business. I still hope Mr. Lin will continue to honor our prior agreement with the Hundred Rivers Association."

After speaking, Li Wanshan placed the contract he was holding in front of Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan didn't even glance at it but picked it up and tore it to pieces, scattering them disdainfully over Li Wanshan. He rose from the sofa, looking down at Li Wanshan, "Listen, don't try to scare me with past deals with the Hundred Rivers Association. I'm not scared. Also, if your factory wants to buy from us, it has to be at three times the market price. Otherwise, don't think about buying a single fish."

"You!" Li Wanshan was somewhat upset, but years of negotiating in business had made him adept at controlling his anger, and he smiled calmly, "Mr. Lin, everything can be negotiated. I admit our people were indeed unfriendly before. But I promise to discipline them properly upon returning. I hope Mr. Lin can be lenient."

He took out a bank card from his pocket and placed it in front of Lin Chuan, "Here's ten million yen."

"Ten million? Wow, that's a lot," Lu Dapao blinked.

"Tch, it's just over 600,000 CNY," Zhou Kai added dismissively.

Bam!

Lu Dapao and Zhou Kai high-fived, celebrating their seamless coordination.

Lin Chuan laughed, "Mr. Li, take this ten million yen back and tell Kato Takashi. We're determined to charge you triple the price. So, go back and think carefully."

Then Lin Chuan said to Zhou Kai, "Zhou Kai, see him off!"

"Sure!" Zhou Kai jumped up immediately, grabbing two axes from his waist.

Li Wanshan's face turned pale with fright.

"Mind your manners," Lin Chuan glared at Zhou Kai.

"Hehe..." Zhou Kai said awkwardly, "I'm just putting the axes aside, nothing else. I hope Mr. Li Wanshan doesn't mind."

Li Wanshan hurried to walk out.

Watching Li Wanshan's back, Zhou Kai laughed, "Brother Chuan, looks like there'll be another fight."

"Doesn't that suit you just fine?" Lin Chuan smiled.

At that moment, Huo Di rushed in from outside and said, "Mr. Lin, there's a Japanese woman named Qingzi outside requesting to see you."

"Let her in," Lin Chuan instructed.

"Yes!" Huo Di nodded promptly.

Huo Di had become the steward of the fishery. Zhou Kai and the others were unfamiliar with the operation of the fishery, so most of the work was left for Huo Di to manage. Since Huo Di was elderly and couldn't do heavy work, management suited him well. Zhou Kai often hung out with Huo Di to learn Japanese, which wasn't very difficult, so Zhou Kai and the others' Japanese had improved quickly, and they could now hold everyday conversations, even occasionally swearing.

Soon, Qingzi walked in, smiling radiantly.

Qingzi was somewhat surprised. Lin Chuan had only been in Japan for a few days, yet he had overthrown the Hundred Rivers Association in Fukuoka—not an annihilation, but their prestige in Fukuoka City had vanished, replaced by the Jvyi Gang.

"Mr. Lin Chuan, well done!" Qingzi giggled, "I never expected you'd establish yourself in Fukuoka City without my help."

"Qingzi, don't tease me," Lin Chuan smiled at Qingzi and said, "Being able to establish myself here was entirely thanks to your information support. Without your intel, I couldn't have tracked the Yoshino family, let alone understood them so thoroughly."
