Chapter 840 - 881: You’ve Got to Take Advantage of a Bargain
Koboto Kobayashi finally came to an agreement with Golden Eagle, with the Yamaguchi Group giving Li Yifei one billion U.S. dollars. In return, they had to help Golden Eagle obtain two items—a concession Koboto had staunchly and vigorously negotiated under the overwhelming pressure from Li Yifei. Those two high-ranking members sitting nearby saw the whole thing clearly.
For Koboto’s such tenacious negotiation, both were extremely impressed. Even under the immense pressure from Golden Eagle, Koboto still managed to persist so firmly. He truly deserved his position as the boss. Had it been them, they’d probably have already agreed to Li Yifei’s terms.
When they relayed the negotiation details to the entire Yamaguchi Group’s upper echelon, the generals’ opinion of Koboto greatly changed. A capable boss like him was indeed a fortune for the group. Hence, even those who had previously been unsupportive of Koboto now held unwavering faith in him, and Koboto’s prestige skyrocketed within the Yamaguchi Group.
As for the conditions Koboto had agreed to, one billion U.S. dollars wasn’t that much for them and could be easily overlooked. And the two items to be obtained – those were the easiest tasks. With the Yamaguchi Group’s capabilities, this was undoubtedly feasible.
Even though they all knew giving these two items to Golden Eagle wouldn’t bode well for the nation, they were just an organization, not politicians who worry about the nation and its people. As long as it suited their interests and wouldn’t stir too much trouble, there was nothing they would shy away from.
At this moment, Koboto was brimming with pride. He had skillfully leveraged a crisis to secure his position as the boss. He was quite grateful to Golden Eagle because all this had been orchestrated with Golden Eagle, a performance for the entire Yamaguchi Group, and it proved to be a smashing success.
Li Yifei handled his part beautifully as well. Effortlessly, he secured one billion U.S. dollars from the Yamaguchi Group, which was equivalent to six billion Huaxia currency based on the current exchange rate.
Certainly, six billion wasn’t much compared to the wealth of the big families, but with this sum in Mile City, where his roots lay, he was definitely a name to reckon with. Planning to use Mile City as his base, his development there was going to be very smooth with this kind of capital.
Sitting in his office, Li Yifei made a call to Old Master Su.
"Kid, I heard you took a trip to Japan. How did it go?" Old Master Su cut straight to the chase.
