Chenhui Building.

“Dali, you’re too mean!” Tang Muxin sat at Hong Dali’s side and laughed till she bent down. Her looks were extremely innocent and beautiful, and now she smiled till her eyes were squinted like a crescent moon. She had two dimples at the corners of her mouth, which added to her cuteness. She laughed happily, while the others also laughed till they bent over.

Of course, towards this simple-minded Hong Dali, Tang Muxin didn’t know what to do with him as well…

“Tsk, though I’m a prodigal, I’m not a fool.” Hong Dali smiled. “It’s obvious that this fellow started up all these things to pick on me. Does he really think that I don’t know anything? Alright, let’s not care about that side, we’ll just play among ourselves.”

“Dali,” Tang Muxin was still a little worried. “Will your bet with Ko Gohon this time work out? He’s so filthy rich, if he can’t fight openly and fairly, he’d definitely have some backup plans. I’m scared that he’ll use tricks and schemes. By then, don’t be caught off guard by him!”

“It’s fine!” Hong Dali rubbed his nose. “Anyway, I don’t care.”

…

Tianjing City, east outskirts, Tianjing City International Airport.

As one of the largest international airports in Heavenly State, based on the number of plane take-offs and landings, Tianjing International Airport was the busiest airport in Asia. In 2010, the Tianjing Capital International Airport had already reached 73,950,000 of airport passenger throughput, only second to Merika’s Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, coming in second place in the world.

And today, a person who wasn’t supposed to appear here had appeared.

Ko Gohon.

Currently, Ko Gohon didn’t have a hint of an arrogant look on his face. Though he had his bodyguards with him, he looked scared and terror-stricken. Even his pair of legs couldn’t help but constantly tremble in fear.

It was already mid of July, where the weather was very hot, yet Ko Gohon was soaked in cold sweat, feeling coldness all over his body.

A short while later, a pleasing and elegant female voice sounded from the radio in the airport. “Flight C7776 from Jaban State Narita Airport flying towards Tianjing International Airport has arrived.”

“He’s here, he’s here!” Upon hearing this broadcast, Ko Gohon’s face was soaked with even more cold sweat. “He’s finally here!”

Very soon, an ordinary figure appeared before Ko Gohon’s eyes.

This person was about 50-years-old and looked very ordinary. He wore a pair of old-fashioned round glasses. He wasn’t tall, only about 1.68 meters or so in height, and he belonged to the type of person that wouldn’t easily catch the attention of others if he were thrown into the middle of a crowd. But his back was very straight, and his expression was extremely stern. Upon seeing him, Ko Gohon hurriedly went forward, bowed and greeted, “Uncle Kazuma, you’ve finally arrived!”

Not only was Ko Gohon behaving very humbly towards him, his bodyguards behind him were even more respectful. Ignoring the curious gazes of the passengers around, they bowed ninety degrees in a uniform manner and respectfully said, “Chief Shiroishi!”

This middle-aged man was called Shiroishi Kazuma. He was the chief consultant for Toyoda Conglomerate!

It wasn’t an overstatement to say that the team of consultants that Shiroishi Kazuma was part of had played a great role in allowing Toyoda Conglomerate to gain the influence they had now in the world! And Shiroishi Kazuma was exactly the chief consultant of their generation!

“Mm.” Towards everyone’s show of respect, Shiroishi Kazuma insipidly nodded and took the lead in walking out of the airport.

“Hey, is this Chief Shiroishi really so powerful?” After Shiroishi Kazuma had walked quite far away from them, a bodyguard whispered, “I only know that he’s the chief consultant of our Toyoda Conglomerate, but I’m completely unaware of exactly how powerful he is. You’ve joined earlier than me, can you tell me?”

“You don’t want your job anymore?! Chief Shiroishi hates people who don’t obey rules the most, watch out before he fires you!” Another bodyguard covered his mouth and glanced around in trepidation.

After Chief Shiroishi had walked far away, the previous bodyguard cautiously asked, “I’m Young Master’s follower, he wouldn’t dare to just fire me like that, right?”

“Doesn’t dare to?” After making sure that Chief Shiroishi couldn’t hear their conversation, he whispered in that bodyguard’s ear, “If Chief Shiroishi says to fire someone, even our director won’t object to it. Do you think the Young Master can protect you? Haven’t you seen Young Master’s expression?”

“Really?!” The previous bodyguard opened his eyes wide. “Even the Young Master can’t? I know that Chief Shiroishi is very great, but exactly how great is he?”

“Speaking of Chief Shiroishi, there is a lot to talk about!” The other bodyguard whispered, “Our Toyoda Conglomerate had always been ranked around number 80 in the top 500 companies in the world. It was this Chief Shiroishi who made a few suggestions and eventually allowed us to triumph over Azumada Group which had previously been suppressing us. That battle five years ago eventually made the Azumada Group lose and get taken over by our Toyoda Conglomerate. Did you know? This was exactly Chief Shiroishi’s doing!”

“So powerful!” The previous bodyguard felt chills all over his body. “Then, doesn’t it mean that this time, Hong Dali is going to lose for sure?”

“Isn’t that obvious? Chief Shiroishi has come, so Hong Dali will definitely lose!”

After exiting from Tianjing International Airport, Shiroishi Kazuma took in a breath and insipidly looked at Ko Gohon, saying, “Young Master Gohon, I heard that you’ve suffered many setbacks over here, so our company president has sent me over to assist you.”

Though Ko Gohon was the sole successor to the Toyoda Conglomerate, when faced with this chief consultant of the family, Ko Gohon behaved as though he were a mouse that had encountered a cat, as he cautiously said, “Uncle Kazuma, it was accidental that I…”

“Alright, I understand.” Shiroishi Kazuma slightly nodded and slowly said, “Let’s go back first and then talk about it slowly.”

“OK.”

…

Imperial Hotel, Presidential Suite number four.

Ko Gohon was originally the host, but he was currently seated on the right side of Shiroishi Kazuma not even daring to breathe loudly. He silently listened to his bodyguard reporting to Shiroishi Kazuma about what had happened during this period of time.

After the bodyguard had reported everything that had happened ever since Ko Gohon had arrived here, Shiroishi Kazuma shook his head and sighed. “Young Master Gohon, this time, you’ve really made many fatal mistakes. It’s reasonable that you’ve failed.”

“Uncle Kazuma…” Ko Gohon was aggrieved. “I’ve never lost before in Jaban State, be it attacking or being attacked by others. Who would have known that this Hong Dali would have so many tricks up his sleeve? I initially thought that it would be very easy to go against him.”

“Young Master Gohon, you’re still too young.” Shiroishi Kazuma sighed and slowly said, “In Jaban State, you could only be so influential and always get your way because Toyoda Conglomerate helped you to deal with the troubles in the dark. But this is Heavenly State, the environment is different. This time, our company president has sent you here to train you up, but alas, you’ve made him very disappointed.”

“Uncle Kazuma, I, I,” Ko Gohon instantly became anxious. “Then what should I do?!”

“You’ve made many mistakes, a total of five.” Shiroishi Kazuma insipidly said, “The first one, Heavenly State is the Hong Family’s home turf. You don’t have any foundations built over here. Though you have more capital funds than the Hong Family, but capital funds are not omnipotent.

“Number two, you’re too eager to succeed. You’ve neglected the level of influence of Li Nianwei and Hong Dali in Heavenly State. Eventually, you lost because of the asymmetry in information.

“Number three, you’ve forcefully used your weakness to go against the other party’s strengths. Hong Dali has talent in doing business in the entertainment industry. This is an ability that even Merika’s Hollywood is at a loss as to how to deal with. Yet you had to challenge him in this. This is the root cause of your failure in the second round of the bet.

“Number four, you’re egoistic! You didn’t contact any of the working partners of our Toyoda Conglomerate in Heavenly State, and you don’t even know what trump cards the opponent has.”

Ko Gohon listened with sweat flowing down continuously, yet he couldn’t even say anything to speak for himself.

Unexpectedly, upon speaking up to this point, Shiroishi Kazuma slowly shook his head and said, “All these are not a big deal. The truly most fatal one is the fifth one. Speaking of this number five fatal mistake, even I have to salute Hong Dali. He’s indeed very capable, and he did something that even I couldn’t think of.

“This Hong Dali is very accurate in grasping ahold of the psychology of others!

“Actually, it was fine when you lost the first bet. But you shouldn’t have provoked him when he came to get the cars at that time!”

“Back then, I couldn’t bear it.” Ko Gohon appeared extremely dispirited. “Once I thought about how I’d lost to him, this prodigal, I was really angry.”

“Rash!” Shiroishi Kazuma angrily said, “You know too little about Hong Dali!

“We’ve investigated his personality in depth. He’s not aggressive and doesn’t have a care in the world. If it’s according to the normal progression of things, Young Master Gohon, if you want to attack him, you can wait till you win in everything before you go and show your face. In this case, you can both attack and defend, and it’s much more powerful than waging a challenge face to face. Moreover, for a person like Hong Dali, as long as you don’t challenge him face to face, he’d normally just ignore it. This proves that it’s very difficult to attack him. Your biggest mistake was to provoke him after you’d lost the first bet.

“If back then you hadn’t said a word and directly gave him the cars, perhaps things would not have progressed this way now. But you just had to provoke him, so he changed his initial idea of wrecking the cars and get over it at the last minute.

“Because he knew that you’d definitely want to win those cars back. He knew that you’d definitely not be able to bear with him using those cars as taxis. As expected, then, you started to sink deeper into it, and constantly wanted to win back everything that you’d lost. Initially, it was just 15 million, but very soon, it became 35 million, and now it became 85 million.”

Speaking up to this point, Shiroishi Kazuma said in a low voice, “And you, Young Master Gohon, as he predicted, became more and more anxious the more you lost, which caused you to lose even more. Now you’ve almost lost even the basic ability to think. It isn’t an overstatement to say that if things were to continue this way, not to mention about you winning back what you’ve lost, you might even lose a few billion more. Hong Dali is truly clever, he’s far surpassed what I’d thought about him!”

After hearing Shiroishi Kazuma’s analysis, Ko Gohon dispiritedly said, “Then, Uncle Kazuma, what should I do now?”

“Since you’ve already placed the bet, of course we can’t go back on our word given our status.” Shiroishi Kazuma thought for a while and then said, “As long as we can carry out the following plans, we can still succeed!”
