At this moment.
Light flickered continuously in Elder Lin's eyes. He hadn't failed to thought about cooperating with the Nail Project Team before and had even actively tried to show goodwill, but unfortunately, there was no response at all.
He had thought cooperation was impossible, but who would have expected a twist in the road: the Black Dragon Group actually had ties with the Nail Project Team. Since the Black Dragon Group could do it, why couldn't he?
True! His business wasn't as legitimate as the Black Dragon Group's, and he had quite a bit of dirt on him, but he also had his trump cards. Besides, since the Nail Project Team could cooperate with the Black Dragon Group, they must be getting rather anxious to wrap up all the cases quickly. At a time like this, he could seize the opportunity to proactively cooperate! It would definitely be a win-win cooperation!
Thinking of this,
he said to the butler: "First tell the people below not to make any big moves during this period."
The butler: "Understood! I've already arranged it..."
Elder Lin: "During this time, keep a close eye on the movements of the Black Dragon Group, and report back the moment they make any move."
The butler: "Understood!"
Elder Lin: "A storm is coming, we must also prepare ourselves..."
The butler: "Understood!"
...
Northern Region!
Bai Weiguo was sitting by the pond, still fishing.
Bai Meng was reporting to him about the events that had occurred in Lin Province, as well as Qin Jiang sending someone to hold them accountable for someone impersonating him.
Bai Weiguo laughed and said: "Is this Qin Jiang asking knowing the answer? Clearly he knows who is impersonating him, yet he insists on getting a result."
Bai Meng: "He knows..."
Bai Weiguo: "Both he and that kid surnamed Zhu are so smart, how could they not guess that this matter was done by the project group? Given their intelligence, they should even have guessed that the project group wants to cooperate with them."
Bai Meng: "If that's the case, what is he holding them accountable for..."
Bai Weiguo: "To gain a bit of the initiative, of course! To be honest, this matter really was the Nail Project Team using him."
Bai Meng: "Then how should I respond to him?"
Bai Weiguo: "Just say that I will give him an explanation. At the longest, three months! At the shortest, there will be a conclusion in a month."
Since the Nail Project Team had already destroyed the Yaowu Group, the next step was to clean up the aftermath in Lin Province. Once that was cleaned up, the next step would definitely be the Lin Group, and by then, the matter regarding the Black Dragon Group could also be settled.
Results can be produced in three months!
Bai Meng: "Right! Qin Jiang said that regarding the Yaowu Group, we must issue a written certificate: proving that this matter has nothing to do with the Black Dragon Group, the kind with signatures and official seals!"
Bai Weiguo couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth: "This kid is really cautious; he doesn't want to bear even a shred of risk!"
Of course, he didn't think Qin Jiang's behavior was a bad thing. It was precisely because Qin Jiang left traces everywhere that he was safe; otherwise, if everything just muddled through hazily, problems would easily arise even if there were none to begin with.
After all:
In the eyes of the outside world, the Yaowu Group was destroyed by the Black Dragon Group, and there were even human witnesses! If this situation couldn't be resolved immediately, who knew what it would evolve into over time—the fake might just turn into the real thing. Therefore, it was very important for the Police to provide substantive proof.
Bai Meng: "He's just that kind of person. If he didn't leave traces everywhere, it wouldn't be possible for us to contact him. Even people like us who know him very well would doubt him upon hearing his legends, let alone others. He has no choice either..."
Bai Weiguo: "You're speaking better and better of him..."
Bai Meng: "Isn't it because I know he's a good person?"
Bai Weiguo: "A good person?"
Bai Meng: "A pure good person! Perhaps people in outside legends might have misunderstandings about him, but I know his various deeds and files inside out. This Qin Jiang and even the entire Black Dragon Group have definitely not committed any crimes. Let alone comparing them to those societal syndicates, even compared to those legitimate business groups, they are ridiculously clean."
"It's completely inversely proportional to his reputation."
"This can't even be described as rare; it's practically legendary! Even more legendary than his path to rise!"
He said this sentence with absolute certainty. Since he planned to make friends with Qin Jiang, he must have done a detailed investigation into Qin Jiang's various matters. Moreover, he had known the other party since Qin Jiang's humble beginnings, and back then he was already paying attention to every move at the other party's wedding. He knew that this seemingly underworld boss on the outside was by no means an unpardonable bad person; on the contrary, he was a very good person. He was not harsh on his subordinates at all, but rather unbelievably good to them—an absolute good boss. To some extent, he was even unbelievably clean. Even among those legitimate companies today—are they truly legitimate? How many companies that rose from the bottom are completely clean? More or less, they all get tainted by some illegal matters, and there are plenty whose startup funds are in the gray area.
Regarding this, the higher-ups didn't hold it against them too strictly, after all, it was a time of economic takeoff: as long as you didn't go overboard with those things, no one would blow it out of proportion. Compared to those legitimate companies with gray or unclean beginnings, the Black Dragon Group—an unofficial company—was actually even more legitimate. Whether it was his startup funds or subsequent development process, he completely walked a purely legitimate route.
There wasn't a single illegal act!
Especially taxes! That was even more unbelievably clean: let alone tax evasion, the Black Dragon Group didn't even do legitimate tax avoidance. The taxes it paid every year were twice as much as those paid by companies of the same level.
This situation was completely rare!
Compared to him, what Huanyu Group! What other big groups—they had even more problems!
Bai Weiguo: "Indeed! Too clean... This kid! It's not easy!" His words were also filled with praise. Starting from scratch and building a company to this scale while remaining completely spotlessly clean, and not even dodging taxes a bit, couldn't even be described as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns; it was completely... a maverick!
Bai Meng: "Also, this kid Qin Jiang leaves traces in everything he does; he leaves a trace for anything that might pose a danger to him!"
"A person like this is too formidable..."
Bai Weiguo: "Indeed... I didn't misjudge him..."
...
Nail Project Team.
They were currently handling the aftermath of the Yaowu Group. The destruction of such a large-scale group involved many things that needed to be dealt with.
Of course, these matters were all being handled by the people below!
At this moment.
The core personnel were discussing the next step plan:
Destroying the Lin Group!
Someone came over and whispered a few words to the group leader, causing the leader to burst into laughter.
Someone asked: "Group Leader! What's wrong?"
Group Leader: "It's the Black Dragon Group!"
The Black Dragon Group?
The other core personnel were even more puzzled...
Group Leader: "Could it be because we destroyed the Yaowu Group in his name? Over on his side, they need us to issue a written certificate: proving that he didn't do it, and proving that this matter was disguised by us."
All the core personnel:...
What?
Is this kid sick in the head?!
Not cherishing such an opportunity to show goodwill to them, he actually asked them to give a written certificate.
What the heck! Not trusting them?
The group leader seemed to see through the thoughts of the people below: "I think what he did is completely right. If he didn't do this, I conversely wouldn't agree to cooperate with him. Now I feel the Black Dragon Group can be cooperated with! Next, let's discuss the plan to destroy the Lin Group using Black Dragon!"
