I See through Everything

Chapter 265: Chapter 142: Each Displays Their Prowess

"Yes, we all need work visas. The longer the visa term, the better. We are willing to give Jiang Sang ten million US Dollars," Watanabe Kenjiro pleaded again, his voice low and humble.

Watanabe Kenji, Watanabe Mahiro, and the others were also prostrating themselves on the ground, begging pitifully.

Jiang Miao didn’t refuse. After all, he already understood the full story. Although he was quite surprised by Watanabe Junichi’s fierce resolve, the man’s actions had, at the very least, preserved a significant portion of Hailufeng Company’s interests. He slowly began to speak:

"Alright. You can join Hailufeng Company’s international trade office. As for the other three technicians, they can work as technicians at our company’s factory in the next town over."

"Thank you so much for your care, Jiang Sang." Watanabe Kenjiro took out a small book and presented it with both hands. "Jiang Sang, please accept this!"

"Okay." Jiang Miao accepted without ceremony, as doing so would put the others more at ease.

Soon after, Jiang Miao arranged for the Watanabe clan members to stay in Magong Town temporarily. In truth, the three technicians were also part of the Watanabe Clan, just more distantly related to Watanabe Junichi.

After all, family businesses in East Japan could sometimes be even more feudal and traditional than those in China.

Meanwhile, Jiang Miao instructed Jiang Haibo to handle the work visa applications for Watanabe Kenjiro and the others.

With Company A’s influence, if the Watanabe family went anywhere else, they would likely be devoured without a trace.

Even going to the Xiangjiang River would not be safe.

Only in the heartland of Cyrus could their personal safety be guaranteed.

Even if a furious and humiliated Company A had East Japan issue a warrant for Watanabe Mahiro and the others, it would be useless. The two countries had no extradition treaty. As long as the Watanabe family didn’t leave Cyrus, the other side had no way of getting to them through legitimate channels.

In truth, the Watanabe Clan had accumulated a great deal of money. Besides the 25 million US Dollars they had earned from their previous collaboration, their family had made nearly 67 million US Dollars from eel fry and eel farming over the past year. On top of that, their family had accumulated nearly 230 million US Dollars in assets over several decades, though only 42 million of that was liquid capital.

Therefore, the total assets Watanabe Mahiro had brought with him this time amounted to around 134 million US Dollars. After giving 10 million to Jiang Miao, they still had a very large sum of money left.

This sum was more than enough for their entire family to live a life free of worry, whether they chose to just coast by or to invest in new industries.

Jiang Miao wasn’t too concerned about the Watanabe Clan’s money.

The night grew late and all was quiet.

In the computer room on the second floor of the villa in Nanhu Village, Jiang Miao’s gaze was sharp as he looked over the various pieces of information he had found. ’Time to teach them a lesson.’ After taking a sip of hot tea from the cup beside him, he began typing on the keyboard again.

To deal with ABCD, you had to understand them.

And in fact, he had already collected all sorts of data on ABCD and stored it on a dedicated hard drive. Right now, he was just doing a little research.

Among them was Company D from Gaul. Its core industries were:

Agricultural raw materials: grain, oilseeds, cotton, coffee, sugar, rice, fruit juice.

Agricultural processing: oilseed processing, food production, feed protein processing.

Logistics and transport: operating a fleet of over 170 vessels, customizing maritime shipping solutions for clients. Their fleet’s tonnage ranged from Handysize to Capesize ships, transporting cargo across all the world’s major oceans.

This company hadn’t made any major moves yet; they were just planning to fund an online smear campaign to attack Hailufeng Company’s reputation.

As for Company A, ADM, its business was extensive, covering food, beverages, nutraceuticals, animal feed, and more. It was a world leader in fields like grain and oilseed processing, the largest soybean crushing and processing plant and corn-based additive manufacturer in America, and the world’s fifth-largest grain export trading company.

Company B had over 450 factories in 32 countries worldwide. It was the world’s fourth-largest grain exporting company, Brazil’s largest grain exporter, and America’s second-largest exporter of soy products, among other things. In addition to its grain business, it was also involved in textiles, fertilizers, paint, and banking.

Company C had an annual revenue of up to 90 billion US Dollars and was not currently listed on the stock market. Its grain export and trading business was number one in the world. It owned the most grain silos in the entire US and had operations in 66 countries.

Furthermore, it owned a hedge fund with over 10 billion US Dollars in assets, as well as various bioengineering research and development programs.

For now, the three companies Jiang Miao needed to deal with were A, B, and C.

He had previously used assassination to deal with the Locke Consortium, and then there was the matter with Jiang Anye. Although there was no evidence that Jiang Miao was responsible, these incidents would certainly have drawn the attention of ABCD.

Therefore, he couldn’t use assassination as a direct method this time.

But even so, that didn’t mean he had no way to deal with those bastards.

For example, he pulled up all of Company C’s data on bioengineering and quickly found something he could use.

One project involved using genetic engineering to create a fungus that specifically targeted a certain type of crop. By using a seed’s coating as a delivery mechanism, the fungal strain could be hidden within the coating to infect the local soil.

In reality, America had long been doing this sort of thing all over the world.

For instance, sending wheat seeds infested with highly contagious pests to rival powers, causing the enemy’s wheat to become infected and leading to a massive drop in crop yields.

And as companies directly controlled by American capital, A, B, and C were certainly heavily involved in the research and development of these biological weapons.

Jiang Miao copied this information. He was even "kind" enough to add annotations so that anyone could tell at a glance exactly what the research was about. Then, he packaged it all up and sent it to various interested parties.

Next, he sifted through a mountain of Company A’s data and selected files showing their use of various banned substances in their domestic American products, as well as cases where pesticide residues severely exceeded legal limits.

Jiang Miao, posing as a former employee of Company A, directly wrote several related blog posts in English. He then forcibly pinned these articles to the front pages of major American social media platforms.

These companies had so much dirt on them, he could never use it all.

As for Company B’s files, Jiang Miao took yet another approach. He found evidence that Company B had used illegal tactics during its acquisition of a major agricultural company in Western Europe. He sent this document directly to the European Consortium that Company B had screwed over, letting the two of them fight it out.

Of course, Jiang Miao wasn’t pinning all his hopes on these methods.

But there was no problem using them to buy some time.

Right now, Hailufeng Company still needed more time to grow before it could confront ABCD head-on.
