"Behind Gundam Capital is Ludao City, and behind Changcheng is the Imperial Capital. You can only target specific people, not the entire company; otherwise, it'll cause trouble."

Yang Chengru listened to Chen Yiyang and calmly drank his tea.

"Why, is Lin'an weaker than others?"

"It's not that Lin'an is weaker, it's that you're weaker. If there were a company valued at billions behind you, I'd march to the city and provincial officials for you right now."

"If I had a company worth billions in my hand, they wouldn't dare mess with me either."

"That's true."

But what Yang Chengru said earlier was just joking with Chen Yiyang.

Then he seriously began analyzing for him.

"There are three entities attacking you from behind right now, regardless of the situation, we can't handle all three forces simultaneously, so we need to tackle them one by one."

"Which one do we deal with first?"

"The easiest one, Gundam Capital."

Yang Chengru continued, "Have you thought about this, ever since you took over Kuxing, you and Gundam Capital have been in an outright adversarial state.

But until you established a sub-brand and indirectly diluted their shares, why did they not act against you and instead waited until now?"

"Isn't it because they don't know my background?"

"If they truly can't find out your background, they'd test you first to gauge your strength. If they haven't acted, the reason is simple.

It's because Ludao City, backing Gundam, doesn't want Gundam Capital to have a spat with you."

Yang Chengru continued to analyze for Chen Yiyang, "Originally, Ludao City didn't receive any favorable policies due to national defense reasons.

Even though it has begun to develop now, there aren't many star enterprises in the city; previously, Kuxing Coffee was definitely one.

When Kuxing Coffee faced turmoil, Gundam Capital dared to take over because Ludao City supported them.

But they didn't expect you to intervene and acquire Kuxing Coffee. So, Ludao City has been waiting to see if you can revive the company."

"So should I directly complain to the relevant leaders in Ludao City?" Chen Yiyang couldn't help but ask.

"If you complain, you're being passive. Whoever goes begging first, loses leverage; you understand this, right?"

"Then I should?"

"Directly announce setting up a branch in Lin'an, and transfer some business and staff over. See how Ludao City reacts."

Although Chen Yiyang's main base is in Lin'an, he doesn't have many industries there; just a gaming company, an economic company, and a company serving him personally.

These companies don't provide much employment.

If Chen Yiyang is willing to move Kuxing Coffee to Lin'an, Lin'an City would be ecstatic.

But this would offend Ludao City. Besides, the conditions Ludao City offers Kuxing aren't low; many Kuxing employees have bought homes there, and their kids have enrolled in schools.

Forcibly relocating the headquarters could easily cause dissatisfaction both internally and externally.

This is why Yang Chengru never discussed this topic before.

But now Chen Yiyang has a reason.

Whether or not Gundam Capital is involved in slandering Chen Yiyang, as long as he believes they did it, Gundam Capital will find it hard to explain.

Moving the headquarters is difficult, but setting up a branch in Lin'an would be enough to let Ludao City understand Chen Yiyang's intentions.

"So Gundam Capital would be dealt with, what about the other two?"

"There's actually no need to worry too much about Fei Peng Automobile internally. They're smearing you to stop Wang Fengyi from conducting internal investigations at Fei Peng.

But as long as Zhao Feipeng doesn't change his decision and speeds up the internal review, catching a few to set an example, the rest won't focus on you."

"Internal investigations take some time, can it be that fast?"

"I think it can be fast," Yang Chengru casually pointed at the map hanging on his wall.

"If you know a bit about our country's industrial distribution, you'd know that Yangcheng is also famous for its steel industry.

With so many steel enterprises in Yangcheng, can Zhao Feipeng, a well-known entrepreneur there, not know a few steel plant owners? Isn't he aware that at least in the steel sector, Fei Peng Automobile is being overcharged?

Previously he didn't care, because he didn't have the manpower to manage, essentially allowing some internal people to take those profits.

This was because Fei Peng cars were selling well; he mainly focused on AI technology. So, he viewed that cost as negligible, especially since he had no reliable team to assist him in internal anti-corruption.

Now, Fei Peng Automobile is cornered, and you recommended the best helper: Wang Fengyi, who handles market sales and has no interest conflict internally. If he wants to act, he can present evidence anytime."

After hearing Yang Chengru's analysis, Chen Yiyang realized that perceiving Zhao Feipeng as foolish was wrong; he was quite shrewd.

Since the founder of Fei Peng Automobile isn't Zhao Feipeng himself, he didn't have much leverage internally to handle this matter.

Now, with Wang Fengyi in place, the current predicament of Fei Peng Automobile also provides Zhao Feipeng a reason for internal anti-corruption.

Zhao Feipeng thus pretended as if he just discovered the internal corruption at Fei Peng Automobile.

"So only Changcheng Automobile is left?"

"Yes, but it's the toughest. First, Changcheng Automobile is a billion-level giant, and its backer is the Imperial Capital.

The Imperial Capital, as the capital, while enjoying various resources, also bears corresponding responsibilities and tasks.

Currently, the task of the Imperial Capital is to support the domestic automotive industry wholeheartedly. Thus, Changcheng holds significant importance in the Imperial Capital's eyes; anyone who dares to challenge Changcheng is going against the Imperial Capital."

"Why aren't you saying anything?" After Yang Chengru finished speaking, he looked at Chen Yiyang, who remained silent, and couldn't help but ask.

"I'm waiting for your next words. It seems you have long prepared how to respond, just waiting for me to play along, right?"

"Not really, right now I only have theory, not a practical method for those theories."

Yang Chengru continued, "My theory is simple, a two-step approach. One, you need to demonstrate your own value and have the Imperial Capital warn Changcheng not to use underhanded tactics against you.

Two, you need to reduce Changcheng's influence in the Imperial Capital; if another car enterprise can replace Changcheng, no matter how you handle Changcheng, the Imperial Capital might not react much."

"What you said might as well be left unsaid," Chen Yiyang rolled his eyes.

"If I could implement your two methods, I wouldn't be any less than the big two (Alibaba and Tencent), why would I care about them?"

"Then you'll just have to endure. The main reason for this issue is that you don't have a major enterprise backing you, allowing them to use such grey methods against you."
