Xin Yi stayed in his Farm for two days, during which he ignored everything, even turning off his phone. He requested all the information about the Taiwan Kingdom from Brother Three and began to study this country that had a special relationship with Heavenly Pride Nation, the Xin Family, and himself.
The information provided by Brother Three indicated that the Taiwan Kingdom had seized control of the country from Wan Tai King twenty-eight years ago, making it a relatively new nation. However, since the original people of Taiwan Kingdom lacked a sense of sovereignty and the Mingguo Party's army stationed there was overwhelming, the takeover was accomplished with minimal effort, aside from losing twenty thousand soldiers to local tribes in the jungle.
After seizing power, the Mingguo Party quickly sent troops to pacify or suppress local tribes. Due to the disparity in military strength, all but two tribes that refused to submit were eradicated, and the rest surrendered to the Mingguo Party regime. The current chairman of Taiwan Kingdom is Jiang Jiwen, the former prince of the Mingguo Party. Jiang Jiwen inherited all of his father Jiang Zhongzheng's traits; he is not only cunning and suspicious but also skilled in political manipulation. Compared to his father, Jiang Jiwen is even more ruthless. In Taiwan, he does not allow any dissenting voices to emerge; he would rather kill a thousand innocents than let one escape. Thus, for twenty-eight years since its establishment, Taiwan Kingdom has been ruled by the military without any real government institutions, with everything decided by the army, keeping the country in a constant state of readiness for war.
What truly troubled Xin Yi was an organization within the Taiwan Military called Mei Organization. This organization functions as a secret weapon for Taiwan, akin to historical organizations like the Eastern Depot during imperial times. It operates directly under Jiang Jiwen's orders and can act without reason or adherence to rules; achieving its goals is its ultimate aim. The current head of Mei Organization is a man named Yin Siren, who succeeded Gao Tingda after his assassination. Yin Siren's leadership has elevated Mei Organization to new heights over the past twenty years. He excels in networking and training agents, and Jiang Jiwen fully supports him. According to reports, members of Mei Organization have secretly infiltrated most countries around the world. The speed and scale of this development in a newly established nation are astonishing and further demonstrate Yin Siren's exceptional talent in espionage. Xin Yi feels that while others may not be too frightening as enemies, Yin Siren will undoubtedly be a formidable opponent.
Taiwan is governed by military rule and can be described as a nation where everyone is a soldier. The eighty thousand soldiers who initially fled have gradually retired and started families, with many local natives and their descendants joining the military over time. For over twenty years, Taiwan's military has maintained around eighty thousand personnel, and their weaponry has not stagnated. Although they lack the capability to produce advanced weapons themselves, they can purchase them. Each year, a significant portion of Taiwan Kingdom's GDP is spent on advanced weaponry from Lusang Nation, the world's foremost military power. Jiang Jiwen has continually incited national sentiment among citizens by claiming that one day they will reclaim Heavenly Pride Nation's rightful regime.
Despite being in a tropical rainforest climate, local natives have historically been content with their self-sufficient lifestyle. Before the arrival of Mingguo Party, this land could only sustain local needs without generating much value. When Mingguo Party arrived with eighty thousand people, it overwhelmed the region; essential goods could not be met domestically and had to be imported at great expense. Although Mingguo Party had some savings after their defeat and retreat, it could not last long without generating income. At this point, Gao Tingda, then head of Mei Organization, suggested to Jiang Jiwen that they widely cultivate opium poppy across the nation—crops that thrive in the Golden Triangle—because their economic value surpasses any other agricultural product. With unique climatic conditions and large-scale cultivation, Wantai quickly surpassed Golden Triangle within a few years to become the world's largest producer of drugs. Relying on drug exports provided Taiwan with sufficient economic resources to import food, daily necessities, and advanced weaponry.
To deal with such a country, Xin Yi believes he must find breakthroughs through its import-export trade; controlling this trade would allow him to achieve victory at minimal cost. However, this is an enormous systemic project that he currently lacks the capability to undertake.
According to Brother Three's information, Taiwan's largest drug export buyer is Lusang Nation's Black K Party, which resells it globally through its extensive network. The Black K Party wields significant influence not only in Lusang Nation but also worldwide with branches totaling over one hundred million members. Even superpowers like Lusang Nation cannot do much against it; they can only tolerate its existence like enduring flies. Fortunately, Black K Party shows no interest in political power; they are solely focused on making money. However, if provoked, they could unleash terror attacks that would leave one unable to cope with the consequences. Thus, this world's largest gang coexists "peacefully" with global citizens. Regarding weapon imports, Taiwan has consistently collaborated with Lusang Nation's military; this model likely offers no opportunities for outsiders to exploit. Food and daily necessities imports have been handled through cooperation with Y Country's Moha Group—a top player among global Fortune 500 companies—backed by substantial resources.
From this analysis of available data, all three parties cooperating long-term with Taiwan possess strong backgrounds and influence; thus pursuing Lusang’s route seems unfeasible. The remaining options are Black K Party from Lusang Nation or Moha Group from Y Country. Although executing these plans may prove challenging, even if it seems impossible now, Xin Yi decides he must try.
After determining his course of action, Xin Yi took a deep breath and turned on his phone before calling Brother Three again. He asked Brother Three to gather all background information on Black K Party along with detailed personal profiles of its senior members—the more detailed, the better. After hearing Xin Yi’s request on the phone, Brother Three replied: "Xinyi! It seems your grandfather was right; he said if you were smart you would approach it this way! He really knows you well! Hahaha..."
Xin Yi hesitated for a moment before saying: "Thank you Brother Three! Please tell Grandpa I’ll visit him when I have time." After hanging up the phone, Xin Yi felt an immense sense of relief—something he hadn't experienced in over twenty years—as if he had finally released a heavy burden from his chest.
On the other end of the line, Xin Shengtian listened to Xin Yi’s words echoing through speakerphone and couldn't help but shed tears of joy as he murmured to Brother Three: "Brother Three! Did you hear that? Xin Yi said he wants to come back to see me! To see Grandpa... Hahaha... My life has no regrets!"
Next, Xin Yi made another call to Wang Hao; after ringing for quite some time, Li Fei’s voice finally came through: "Hello! Three Tiger Group Investment Company."
“Li Fei, ah, I am Xin Yi. Please have Wang Hao answer the phone,” Xin Yi said.
“Ah, it’s Mr. Xin. Wang Hao... Mr. Wang is resting right now. Please hold on, I will wake him up,” Li Fei replied, and Xin Yi could hear her softly calling for Wang Hao on the other end.
This guy is probably working day and night in the capital market; he must be taking a quick nap now. He really is a workaholic and a genius at capital operations. So, Xin Yi quickly told Li Fei on the phone, “Since he is resting, don’t wake him up. Let him rest for a while, and when he wakes up, have him call me.”
“Okay, sure, Mr. Xin. Thank you!” Li Fei said gratefully. “Actually, Mr. Wang has been quite busy lately, only getting three to four hours of sleep each day. I’m really worried that if this continues, his health won’t hold up.”
“So you need to take good care of him,” Xin Yi joked. “He’s just that typical workaholic. Why don’t you try not letting him work? That might actually make him sick.”
“Right…” Before Li Fei could finish her sentence, Wang Hao’s voice came through the phone: “Fei’er, who are you talking to?” It seemed that Wang Hao had woken up.
“It’s Mr. Xin, looking for you. I told Mr. Xin you were resting, and he asked me not to wake you up,” Li Fei said as she handed the phone to Wang Hao.
“Big Boss, what can I do for you?” Wang Hao teased over the phone.
“Wang Hao, your health is my capital. If you wear yourself out, who am I going to turn to? I’m declaring that you must rest at least six hours every day from now on; otherwise, I’ll fire you!” Xin Yi said sternly.
“I mean, Big Boss, is this how you treat your employees? Other bosses would squeeze every last drop of sweat from their employees! But here you are, I’m working so hard and you want to fire me? Is there any justice in this world?” Wang Hao continued to joke.
“I’m serious when I say this, Wang Hao. Even if you don’t care about your own health, you should think about Li Fei. She’s following you around like this; if you wear yourself out, won’t that make her sad? Listen to me; this is an order! You must do this; otherwise, I really will fire you!”
“Uh… fine! But can we change it to five hours a day instead? Do you know how much money can be made in one hour?”
“No bargaining allowed! It’s settled then. I will have Li Fei supervise you. If you don’t comply, just wait and see how I deal with you.”
"Alright, Boss, you didn't call just to arrange how many hours I should sleep today, did you? If there's something to discuss, just say it. I still need to finish the task you just assigned me." Wang Hao pretended to yawn, indicating that he would obediently wait a moment before going back to sleep.
"You help me keep an eye on the Moha Group in Y Country," Xin Yi finally revealed the purpose of the call. "If possible, I want to become a shareholder. You figure out how to handle it."
"Uh..." Wang Hao gasped before saying, "Boss, if you're not going to do it, then don't. But if you do, you want to make a big splash? The capital of Moha Group isn't easy to manipulate; they could crush us with just a casual move."
"What? Is it impossible?"
"Heh, it's not that. Just give me some time," Wang Hao replied confidently. "But this will require some extreme measures; don't blame me for being ruthless."
"You handle it. If you encounter difficulties, come to me! We don't need too much; holding sixty percent of the shares they issue will be enough," Xin Yi said.
"Sixty percent?! Do you think this is child's play?! Holding five percent of their issued shares would already make you a super tycoon! Boss, you're pushing me to my limits!" Wang Hao exclaimed in despair.
"Heh, that's why I said if you have difficulties, come to me. I believe in you," Xin Yi said calmly.
"Sigh, you're really going to drive me to my death this time... At least give me six months, and then... if there's anything I need, I'll find you! Alright, I'm hanging up! I've got work to do! Sixty percent..." Wang Hao said as he threw down the phone.
