HK Composite: Starting from Shenghe Leading

Chapter 544: Nishiguchi Shigeo's Choice
The alliance was a done deal, at least on the surface.

All that’s left is to eat, drink and have fun.

All kinds of traditional or perverted programs are included.

I have to say that when it comes to perversion, Xiao Zi is quite good. They claim to be number one, and there is no telling who dares to claim to be second.

Liquor and sex are the two best ways to relieve stress.

It seems that as long as they have these two things, the troubles caused by the island country's economic crisis will have nothing to do with them at all.

As for Shigeo Nishiguchi, although he agreed on the surface, he had other plans in mind.

As soon as the so-called reception banquet ended, he rushed back to the Tokyo headquarters as quickly as possible, saying that the three leaders of the Sumiyoshi-kai, including Director Kobayashi Kusunobumoto, President Hori Masao and Chairman Kawaguchi Ryofumi, were ill.

Of course, this can't really be considered an excuse, because the health of the three of them is indeed not good, even to the point where they can't move normally.

But despite this, Shigeo Nishiguchi still brought the three of them together.

Tokyo.

Sumiyoshikai headquarters.

In a courtyard with a traditional island style.

Director Kobayashi Nanfu, President Hori Masao and Chairman Kawaguchi Ryofumi were all sitting in wheelchairs, looking extremely weak.

Their health was indeed too poor, otherwise they would not have been able to hand over the affairs of the Sumiyoshi-kai entirely to Shigeo Nishiguchi.

No matter how successful you are when you are young, you will be helpless when disease strikes.

"This is the situation this time. First of all, I would like to make it clear that I do not agree with joining forces with the Yamaguchi-gumi and the Inagawa-kai to form a so-called alliance."

"What kind of organization is He Sheng He?"

"Who is Lin Zehao?"

"Even if the so-called three major gangs in the island nation unite, it's just like a mayfly trying to shake a tree."

Shigeo Nishiguchi made no secret of his thoughts. To be exact, he didn't want to be an enemy of Lin Zehao at all.

Looking at Lin Zehao's road to rise, those who dared to stand in his way and overestimated their own capabilities were all swept into the history books.

The scene of the confrontation with the French government some time ago seems to be still vivid in my mind.

As an individual, he challenged the centralized government, and as one of the five permanent members of the Earth's permanent membership, he ultimately won.

This kind of courage and strength are no longer something that these so-called violent groups can challenge.

In this regard, Shigeo Nishiguchi is still self-aware.

Therefore, he could never accept being an enemy of Lin Zehao!

In life, it doesn’t matter if you say something wrong or do something wrong.

The most important thing is that you must not make the wrong choice when making a critical decision.

This moment is an absolutely critical moment for Shigeo Nishiguchi and the entire Sumiyoshi-kai.

If they take one wrong step, this "Sumiyoshi family" with a history of hundreds of years will completely become history and disappear from this earth.

"Xikou, the current situation is a bit chaotic. Many things are changing rapidly. They may be like this in the last second, and become completely different in the next second."

"We old guys are either in the hospital or on our way to the hospital every day. We have no contact with today's society at all."

"As the saying goes, you know your own body best. I'm afraid the three of us are really at the end of our rope. From now on, you will have to shoulder the affairs of the Sumiyoshi-kai alone."

Masao Hori did not look old, but he looked extremely haggard, as if all his energy and spirit had disappeared. He looked like he was dying, waiting for death to come.

Back then, it was in his hands that the Sumiyoshi-kai was developed and flourished, ushering in its so-called peak period.

Unfortunately, time is merciless.

No matter how strong a person is, he will eventually have to face his own destiny.

Death is the destination of all people.

"Yes, no matter what decision you make, we support you."

"If you think cooperating with the Yamaguchi-gumi and the Inagawa-kai is not the right choice, then standing aside doesn't seem to be a wise choice either."

"How about trying to cooperate with Lin Zehao?"

Kawaguchi Ryoshi forced himself to cheer up and tried hard to say these words.

As the president, the second-in-command of the Sumiyoshi-kai, he usually gives people a polite impression.

Because of the disease, his expression was full of pain, as if every movement would cause great harm to his body.

The torture of illness has gradually worn away his sanity.

If the current situation was not so critical, Ryofumi Kawaguchi might not have shown up.

He had a premonition that his life was about to end.

Perhaps, this meeting will be the last one for these elders of the previous generation.

They are all remnants of the old era, and the new era no longer has the ship to carry them.

"Cooperate with Lin Zehao?"

"President, I'm not being self-deprecating, but is the Sumiyoshi Association really qualified to cooperate with a person like him?"

"I really don't understand what the Sumiyoshi Association can bring to Lin Zehao."

In terms of money, Lin Zehao is definitely among the top in the world today.

In terms of influence, it is so huge that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is spread across major countries around the world.

Compared with the two, Sumiyoshi-kai is not stronger than Lin Zehao in any aspect.

At best, they are natives of the island country and have geographical advantages.

But this advantage is really worthless in the face of the absolute gap in strength.

Under such circumstances, Lin Zehao probably wouldn't even look at the Sumiyoshi-kai in the eye.

It is harder than climbing to the sky to cooperate.

"Although there is indeed a huge gap between us and Lin Zehao in many aspects, it does not mean that we are not qualified to cooperate with him."

"Isn't there a God-given opportunity right now?"

Xiao Lin Nan coughed twice. Although he looked weak, one could still see wisdom in his eyes.

Although the years have made him older and his physical functions have declined, they have also brought him more experience and made him more calm when facing difficulties, and he can find more opportunities in the cracks.

For example, at this moment, he saw an opportunity in the alliance between the Yamaguchi-gumi and the Inagawa-kai, an opportunity for the Sumiyoshi-kai to rise.

"Minister, do you mean that I should bring my brothers from the Sumiyoshi-kai and surrender to Lin Zehao?"

Hori Masao shook his head slowly and said in an old voice: "The word 'surrender' does fit the current situation, but it is not accurate."

"Please let me know, President."

Nishiguchi Shigeo lowered his posture and pretended to listen attentively. "Provide Lin Zehao with information about the alliance between the Yamaguchi-gumi and the Inagawa-kai, and cooperate with all his requests."

"After this incident, given Lin Zehao's character, I'm sure he will never let you suffer any loss."

As people of the older generation in the world, they always believe in giving first and then receiving.

However, with the development of the times, it seems that no one is doing this kind of delayed harvest anymore.

Determine the rewards first, then talk about the cost.

"Okay, I'll go talk to Lin Zehao right away."

Shigeo Nishiguchi agreed immediately without any hesitation.

He has admired Lin Zehao for a long time.

If he had the final say in the current Sumiyoshi Society, he would have already brought his brothers to join Lin Zehao.

In Shigeo Nishiguchi's opinion, being able to establish a cooperative or subordinate relationship with someone like Lin Zehao is definitely a blessing from the previous life.

After all, communities around the world are studying how to clean up their mess.

The pioneer and leader among them is undoubtedly Lin Zehao.

While other people or organizations were still confused, Lin Zehao had already led Hutchison to find its own way.

This road is definitely a road to heaven!

He acted immediately and used his connections in the political circle to go through several layers of connections before he was able to contact people at Hutchison.

Finally, after some negotiations and confirmation, he will meet with Lin Zehao in three days.

Three days passed in a flash. Shigeo Nishiguchi brought the gifts he had collected with great effort, only two subordinates, and a Crown sedan, and went to the meeting place in a very low-key manner.

Half an hour later, he arrived on time, which was slightly earlier than the agreed time.

"You two can wait for me in the car. I'll go in alone."

Looking at the huge iron gate in front of him, Shigeo Nishiguchi couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

After all, the name of a person is the shadow of a tree.

Given Lin Zehao's reputation and the fact that he has something he wants, it is normal for him to be nervous.

Facing a boss of this level, how many people can remain calm?

"Hey, I wish Nishiguchi-kun success."

Although they felt a little regretful that they could not see a big shot like Lin Zehao in person, the two younger brothers still bowed 90 degrees and spoke sincerely.

As Shigeo Nishiguchi's confidants, they were aware of the importance of this trip.

If they can really get on Lin Zehao's good side, then they really have the opportunity to cross the class barrier and transform from a gang into a business person.

"Stop, routine inspection."

Faced with the gatekeeper's request, Shigeo Nishiguchi was very cooperative and did not show any resistance at all.

He was first searched manually and then checked by security equipment. Only after it was confirmed that there were no problems was Shigeo Nishiguchi released.

As he walked through two long corridors and looked at the tall walls around him, he became more and more nervous.

After all, in a place like this, even if two people died, it seems that no one can find out.

After circling two fountains, Shigeo Nishiguchi finally saw Lin Zehao in a Chinese pavilion.

I saw that he was wearing a white Tang suit. Although I didn't know what material it was made of, it was definitely worth a lot of money and had a very elegant temperament.

Under the sunlight, the Tang suit on the upper body vaguely reflects the pattern of an oriental dragon, and it is also a designed gradient. It looks very beautiful from a distance.

In response to this, Shigeo Nishiguchi's already nervous mood was stretched to the extreme.

His already somewhat fat body became extremely hot, with beads of sweat covering his forehead.

"Mr. Lin, it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Shigeo Nishiguchi, and I'm the current acting president of the Sumiyoshi-kai."

Shigeo Nishiguchi didn't even dare to look at Lin Zehao's appearance carefully. He just bowed 90 degrees and spoke very humbly.

Lin Zehao took a closer look at Nishiguchi Shigeo and found that there was no discrepancy between what was recorded in the documents and he immediately said with a smile: "Of course I have heard of the name of Sumiyoshi-kai. It is the second largest gang in the island country."

"However, it seems that we don't have any business dealings with each other. What is the purpose of your visit this time?"

Shigeo Nishiguchi raised his head, handed the gift to his subordinate, and quickly organized his words: "Mr. Lin, the Yamaguchi-gumi invited us, the Sumiyoshi-kai and the Inagawa-kai, to form an anti-Hutchison alliance. I came here specifically to tell you this news."

"I think……"

Before Nishiguchi Shigeo could finish his words, Lin Zehao raised his hand to interrupt him and signaled with his eyes for A-ma to take out the things.

The latter immediately understood, took out a tape, put it into the radio, and pressed the play button.

Shigeo Nishiguchi was completely confused at first, but as the recorder started working, the contents of the tape shocked him!

Because this tape is actually a complete record of the banquet held by the Yamaguchi-gumi!

Although it sounded a bit noisy, Shigeo Nishiguchi was able to confirm that the sounds on the tape were exactly what happened that day!
Even though there was no confidential information, he subconsciously opened his mouth wide, with shock written all over his face.

What does this mean?
This means that the alliance initiated by the Yamaguchi-gumi, which they thought was secret, had already entered Lin Zehao's field of vision from the moment it was proposed!
To what extent has Lin Zehao's strength developed!
Surprisingly, even this kind of scene can be infiltrated and the news can be received at the first time.

After thinking it through, Shigeo Nishiguchi, who was originally so nervous that he felt a little hot, suddenly felt a biting cold.

This is not due to the climate, but the fear that rises from the bottom of my heart!

Fear is followed by joy.

Shigeo Nishiguchi was glad that he only agreed on the surface and turned around to tell Lin Zehao about it.

Otherwise, he began to tremble subconsciously just thinking about which direction things would develop.

"I heard that you agreed to this alliance on behalf of the Sumiyoshi-kai, didn't you?"

Lin Zehao's half-smile and half-questioning tone startled Nishiguchi Shigeo. He subconsciously stood at attention and quickly began to explain, "Mr. Lin, please don't misunderstand me."

"Due to the circumstances at the time, I could only pretend to agree to them, and then I came to you to report the news as soon as possible."

"How could I go against someone like you? You are so wise and brave, and you have always been engaged in legitimate business and have done a lot of charity work. You are a righteous light."

"As for the Yamaguchi-gumi and Inagawa-kai, these violent groups that have committed so many evil deeds are either scum or demons. They should have been completely wiped out long ago!"

Shigeo Nishiguchi's brain was working like crazy as he explained at a very fast pace and made various movements with his hands to increase his credibility.

"Okay, stop explaining. I never look at what people say, but what they do."

"Don't be nervous, sit down and talk."

Shigeo Nishiguchi did not dare to hesitate at all. He immediately sat down obediently and took the initiative to pour tea for Lin Zehao.

His suit was already soaked with sweat, and he looked like he had just been fished out of the water.

"Prepare a set of casual clothes for Mr. Nishiguchi."
