Chapter 215 Escalation
"That..." Ye Zi reacted, "Some friends, those friends."
"They are your staff, they want to escort you to become the leader of Xisheng, and want you to join the chaos." Noriko Honma let go of her daughter lightly, "But don't take these things to heart, our family will never happen Civil War."
Won't happen... civil war?
Leaf was surprised.
When my mother was young, it was only 20 years since the company had just defeated the witch, and everything was growing savagely.
Noriko Honma regards each of her marriages as a business cooperation, combining with those rich, business-minded and investment-capable men for mutual benefit and fully implementing the concept of "marriage is to establish an economic alliance".
After hundreds of years of expansion, Xisheng has grown to the scale it is today, and is even more behind the scenes, pushing giant enterprises like Kyoto Unlimited to the foreground, and penetrating every corner of the archipelago.
However, the form of family management also has its inherent disadvantages.
All analysts clearly pointed out that Noriko Honma’s methods laid the indelible foreshadowing for Xisheng’s disintegration. There are too many outstanding and shrewd children who are committed to scrambling for the property territory left by Noriko Honma after his death.
Noriko Honma single-handedly supported the rise of countless companies, and now she has become an important link and the most important symbol of unity to maintain this business empire. But after 7 months, all of this will be over, and the superficial stability will be completely broken. Under the general environment of economic crisis, everyone will strive for the upper hand and kick others out of the interest center.
But - Civil War won't happen?
Looking at Ye Zi's blank expression, Noriko Honma could easily guess her thoughts.
"Among your older brothers and older sisters, who is the best?" Honma Noriko asked.
"Yes..." Ye Zi quickly recalled, traversing her brother and sister.
Honma Noriko has 16 children, Ye Zi ranked 15th.
Counting up, only Kurokawa Kana, who ranks 10th, can be called "excellent". The other children are either excellent but dead of old, or alive but lacking in strength.
Kurokawa Kana is different.
Her father is another financial conglomerate who united with Xisheng in the form of intermarriage. Kana Kurokawa is 54 years old, not only in the prime of life, but also inherited the financial capital of the Kurokawa family after her father died. Not only does she look exactly like Noriko Honma, but she also acts similarly to her. She is keen on investment expansion and family reproduction. She already has 6 children and 3 husbands, and she seems to be a new generation of Noriko Honma.
Among the current "children of Xisheng", Kana Kurokawa is undoubtedly the best.
"It's Kana." Honma Noriko smiled, "You can definitely imagine it."
Ye Zi felt a chill rushing up from the soles of her feet, all the way to her forehead.
If Kana Kurokawa inherits the Xisheng Group, Ye Zi will not even be able to drink a sip of soup. That cold-blooded Kurokawa Kana, who was like her mother when she was young, would never give her any chance to live.
"But! But others will object." Ye Zi said, "Civil war will still break out..."
"I will take everything back." Honma Noriko sat by the bed, "I will issue my order, concentrate Xisheng's power, realize the reorganization, and hand over all the companies under it to Kurokawa."
"Ah..." Kojima Yezi was stunned.
"Give all the rights to one person, and you don't have to watch you beating each other like idiots." Noriko Honma stroked Ye Zi's hair, "When I think of such a nothingness happening after my death, I feel like 135 years of labor And the giving is hollow. I...can't let a bunch of worms divide my career."
Ye Zi opened his mouth, but did not speak. Supreme fear lingers in Ye Zi's heart.
"What are you worried about..." Noriko Honma said softly, "Oh, you are worried that you will be killed by Kana."
"Yes..." Ye Zi wanted to know her mother's attitude towards this.
"Some things, if it should happen, let it happen." There was no pity in Honma Noriko's eyes.
Ye Zi wanted to cry, but knew that any form of pleading could not move her mother.
She still hated this place, she thought of the good time in the past, staying on the black boat Anonymous, with Xu Yang and the others.
She now understood what her mother wanted to do.
In order to avoid the civil war brought about by her own death, Noriko Honma will transfer all assets to Kurokawa Kana during the last 7 months of her life. Such a move will naturally cause resistance and anger, but Noriko Honma still has the strength to clean it up.
She is doomed to die, and it is meaningless to keep a good name and the love of her children.
"Kana sent a message, she will contact me at this time every day." Honma Noriko leaned on the bed, turned to look at the huge smart screen on one side.
The signal switch flickered, and Kurokawa Kana's face appeared on the screen.
Kojima Yoko was a little dazed. Sister Kurokawa Kana looked more and more like her mother. It could even be said to be exactly the same as her mother's photo when she was young. The genes of the Kurokawa family hardly showed any expression.
Dark brown eyes, long hair scattered to both sides in a wavy shape, light pink lips, and clean white teeth. The skin quality is not good, and she doesn't like to use cosmetics like Noriko Honma when she was young. She always has a straight face, as if she is going to reprimand someone. Around his neck he wore the Kurokawa family heirloom, a silver family crest, a silver arrowhead with small diamonds on it.
Compared with the delicate Honma Noriko, Kurokawa Kana is more like a mother. Just standing in front of her image, Ye Zi felt uncomfortable.
"Mother." Kana Kurokawa greeted Noriko Honma, and then glanced at Yoko Kojima, "There are still leaves."
"Yes." Ye Zi felt the suffocation of childhood again.
Ye Zi’s father, Kojima Yuu, is not particularly powerful, and his status in the whole family is not high. Every time Kurokawa Kana visits Kojima’s house, they have to rack their brains to prepare for the reception, and spend millions on arranging dinner parties Kana Kurokawa just watched coldly, as if any entertainment program they provided could not change her expression.
"Let's talk." Honma Noriko raised her hand slightly, signaling Kurokawa Kana to get to the point.
"The military operations of the Black Fire Revolution, coupled with the recovery of the Japanese fire, now the probability of an infinite defeat in Kyoto has risen to 47%. The specific victory or defeat depends on the response policy of the new management in the next 5 months." Kana Kurokawa Report, "The original president has committed suicide and apologized, and they are starting to look for candidates for the eighth president."
"Let Kirino Reise do what she wants to do." Honma Noriko said, "I don't want them to cause any more trouble in the past six months."
"In addition, Qiyin asked Xisheng to attack Black Fire Innovation." Kurokawa Kana said, without any personal emotion in his voice.
When Ye Zi heard Qiyin's name, she couldn't help feeling a burst of instinctive fear.
Qiyin is a secret organization, representing 7 existences that have great influence on the world, and Noriko Honma occupies one of them, representing the Xisheng Group. Ye Zi does not know the status of the remaining 6 seats. Only the mother and a few people at the pinnacle of power know the secrets, and Ye Zi dare not know or collect information about the seven seals.
"'They' can wait." Noriko Homma was a little bored, "We don't care at all...but you can't reply like that. Just keep silent to those things, Kana, and keep silent no matter what they show you. "
"Yes, Mother." Kurokawa Kana said, "In addition, the representative sent by the Black Fire Revolution requested video communication."
"What do you think they want?" Honma Noriko asked.
"They are looking for cooperation and an apology." Kurokawa Kana judged, "They attacked Xisheng's ship yesterday, and they seem to regret attacking Xisheng's employees."
"Come in." Honma Noriko said.
The image signal of Blackfire Innovation appeared on the screen.
Seeing the picture, Ye Zi froze. Noriko Honma's movements also changed, and Kana Kurokawa even showed a little panic.
Ye Zi stared intently at the picture. Her nephew, Kurokawa Kana's biological son, Sheng Zebin, a 25-year-old young man in his prime, was being imprisoned in a glass box.
The young man looked particularly terrified. He was stripped of everything, which made Ye Zi feel weird.
"That's clearly..." Noriko Honma's tone changed slightly when he saw this scene, "Your son Xiaobin, isn't he stationed in Baraya as our diplomat?"
In the laboratory of Blackfire Innovation, a handsome and majestic man came from one side of the room, and beside him was a witch with a strange smile on her face. She was wearing a black lab coat with a dark gold spear-shaped limiter pierced through her chest. .
Ye Zi recognized the man, Jose Alonso, the CEO of Blackfire Innovation, an important leader of this arms giant. The witch on the other side is named "Wasp", who was stationed in the islands before and was exchanged back before the war.
"Welcome." Jose greeted the Xisheng Group staff behind the screen, and he bowed to Noriko Honma, Kana Kurokawa and Yoko Kojima respectively, "Welcome to witness the first scene of the Black Flame Revolution changing the world .”
"A boring trick." Kurokawa Kana sensed something was wrong and planned to interrupt the communication.
"Let him continue." Noriko Honma said calmly.
Jose pulled out the limiter on the back of the wasp, and she acted both crazy and abnormal, lying on the glass, looking at the poor and helpless young man in the box with the eyes of a toy.
"A man becomes a woman," she said.
With the implementation of the magic power, Ye Zi could clearly see obvious changes in the key areas of Sheng Zebin, first shrunken, and then sunken inward. He let out an astonishing scream, knelt on the ground, and his appearance changed dramatically.
But for a few minutes, "she" looked down at the new features of her body, tried her best to cover it, then raised her head in despair, and looked at her grandmother, mother and aunt on the other side of the screen.
Wasp let out a stern laugh, Jose pierced her body again with the limiter, and then she became calmer than ever, just looking at the screen with malicious eyes, as if to see through the members of the Xisheng Group.
"Right now, we don't need him, we don't need this 'diplomat'," Jose said, "Ma'am. We will make an announcement soon that we will confiscate all Xisheng's assets in the Thai Asian Islands and end everything Cooperation relationship, including Xisheng as the target of the war. Our fleet will sail to Xisheng Shrine and blow you out of your palace. We want to escalate the situation of this corporate war. As for the specific means we have, you can Witness it slowly in the future.”
Signal interrupted.
"It's my fault." Kurokawa Kana hurriedly begged for forgiveness from Honma Noriko, "Mother, I..."
Noriko Honma's expression was cold, and Kana Kurokawa's communication was interrupted, and Ye Zi felt relieved.
"Why are you still here?" Honma Noriko narrowed her eyes and turned to Ye Zi.
Leaf's heart was pounding.
She knelt in front of Noriko Honma, leaned forward, and fell to her mother's ear.
"Mom," she said, "you don't need to hand over your assets to Kanai. I have a way, a way to keep you alive..."
