Chapter 1053: Chapter 414: Ninth Logistics Base
"So, is this the place you found?"
In the suburbs of Kyoto, Zhang Beixing and his team arrived by car at the location Leng Bing had mentioned. It was less than 3 kilometers from the road leading into the city, covering nearly a thousand acres, and it was once intended to become a giant and luxurious private estate.
"It’s the property of the Celestial Group, but after they ran into problems, it was left idle. So after going through the archives, I thought this place was most suitable."
Fearing Zhang Beixing might be displeased, Leng Bing hurriedly introduced the environment.
The nearly thousand acres of land already had villas and basic facilities constructed, with about 400 acres left undeveloped, suitable for Zhang Beixing and his team for secondary construction.
"They initially planned to turn the front area into a hotel, so even if people came and went, it wouldn’t arouse suspicion."
After hearing Leng Bing’s introduction, Zhang Beixing agreed it was suitable for their use, needing only modifications to the front area.
Seeing Zhang Beixing silent, Leng Bing wisely kept his mouth shut.
The others were examining the nearby buildings, each seemingly lost in thought.
"This place is fine, but don’t turn the front into a hotel, make it into an international transport company instead, and incidentally handle some grey industry."
The words instantly brought disbelief to the faces around, knowing they were part of The Ninth Bureau. The Ninth Bureau is Great Xia’s most formidable law enforcement agency, dealing with external and internal issues when other systems fail.
Yet, Zhang Beixing, the director of The Ninth Bureau, actually wanted to engage in grey industry, wasn’t this akin to betraying their duty?
Before the shock from Zhang Beixing’s words wore off, or anyone could recover, Zhang Beixing, relentless with his shocking remarks, made another statement that stunned everyone further.
"But this matter requires high-level permission, and none of us can show our faces, so the personnel for the chairman of this group must be chosen from new additions."
Dragon Tiger and other newcomers didn’t understand the implications of Zhang Beixing’s words, but Xu Feng and others grasped what Zhang Beixing intended.
"Do you want to use this opportunity to seize control of the restless codes?"
The young Taoist Zhang Qingyang spoke.
Though he bore the Taoist identity, his actions were far from those of a monk. When Zhang Qingyang first arrived, Xu Feng proposed sparring with him.
After all, anyone brought over by Old Zhang was naturally no ordinary figure in Xu Feng’s eyes, and Zhang Qingyang didn’t refuse, but the result was that Xu Feng was nearly disabled by Zhang Qingyang.
It wasn’t that Zhang Qingyang was ruthless, but that his moves were inherently so. After witnessing Zhang Qingyang’s skills, Zhang Beixing immediately ordered that no one, except Dragon Tiger, should challenge him recklessly.
Zhang Beixing’s order highlighted Dragon Tiger’s strength, but it also brought a tinge of unease to Xu Feng, who held the title of "First under the Minister."
"If you think this place is suitable, boss, then I’ll negotiate with them to have this site classified as an asset under our Ninth Bureau."
Seeing the satisfied smile on Zhang Beixing’s face, Leng Bing finally relaxed.
"Immediately register a logistics company, name it Ninth Logistics Group, and as for the rest, I don’t need to instruct you, do I?"
Hearing Zhang Beixing, Leng Bing quickly nodded.
But unexpectedly, Zhang Beixing’s gaze skipped over Leng Bing and landed on Dragon Tiger and Zhang Qingyang behind him.
"In the future, Dragon Tiger will assume the role of chairman, and Zhang Qingyang will serve as the general manager!"
Zhang Beixing’s arrangements puzzled both Dragon Tiger and Zhang Qingyang while also confusing Leng Bing and the others.
But soon, Leng Bing and his team understood Zhang Beixing’s reasoning, as was mentioned earlier, Ninth Logistics Group required genuinely unfamiliar faces.
"In that case, what about renovations and other aspects?"
"Handle everything through public bidding, and since we want this logistics group to have no evident ties with us, let’s do it thoroughly."
Leng Bing wanted to say more but was stopped by a look from Xu Feng nearby.
In truth, Leng Bing knew full well that what he could think of, Zhang Beixing surely could too. Since the latter hadn’t pointed it out directly, it was best to remain silent.
"Remember, this matter must be done big; let everyone know about the founding of our logistics group."
Upon hearing Zhang Beixing’s order, no one questioned it, immediately carrying out his directive.
Because of high-level manipulation from the shadows, everything Zhang Beixing did went smoothly. The morning they decided on the plan, by afternoon licenses for the logistics group were approved.
Also issued was the land ownership certificate for the plot, along with other documents that typically took an inordinate amount of time to process.
The news that this plot, once part of the Celestial Group, was to become a logistics group already spread, causing a significant stir in the industry.
All logistics companies were investigating the background of this sudden logistics group, but the results mostly turned out to be unsatisfactory.
