"Yes, that Jiang Tian."
Chen Feng replied truthfully.
"Hmm, that's as I expected. In this day and age, the power struggles at the highest levels of China's political arena never cease. Especially in China's municipalities, the competition has been ongoing for decades. To be honest, you're quite capable; most people would have been driven out long ago."
Wang Jianshan looked at Chen Feng with admiration.
"Elder Wang, to be frank, if it weren't for China, I would have left the political arena long ago. You know, the money I make from my businesses is enough for me to live the life I desire. However, I can't bear to see China miss out on this excellent momentum of development over the past decade. Honestly, the situation China is in today was hard-won, and it would be too much of a pity to let it slip away. And that's not the main point. The main point is that China's rise this time is the best opportunity for Chinese people to live like truly dignified individuals, and it must be seized. Once seized, the Chinese people will be the happiest people in the world. Better than before."
Chen Feng spoke with emotion.
Truthfully, making China a truly powerful nation had always been Chen Feng's dream.
For this dream, he had stayed in the political arena for over a decade.
Deep down, he disliked China's political arena immensely.
He disliked both the lower and higher echelons of China's political scene.
There was too much hypocrisy.
Not only hypocrisy, but also insidious malice.
However, Chen Feng had endured it all in the end.
The reason was simple: the hardships and dangers he faced in the political arena were worth it if they could bring true happiness to Chinese people for a thousand years.
Recently, it was a critical period for him to become China's highest leader, and he absolutely could not afford to fail.
"Speak, how do you plan to strike back at Jiang Tian?"
Wang Jianshan cut to the chase.
"Jiang Tian's halt of China's No. 20 Pile experiment project is enough to bring him down. However..."
Chen Feng said calmly.
"However what?"
"However, I don't just want Jiang Tian to fall. Jiang Tian constantly endangers my women, and I absolutely will not allow such a person to live. I am now the mayor of a municipality in China. If I cannot even protect my own women, how can I ensure that the Chinese people live truly happy lives? The Jiang family's power is too immense, and they are utterly greedy. If the Jiang family remains, China faces great potential danger."
Chen Feng said with a solemn expression.
"Chen Feng, you are not an outsider, so I will speak plainly. Bringing down Jiang Tian is indeed very easy. However, bringing down the entire Jiang family is almost impossible. Half of China's top ten major enterprises belong to the Jiang family. Such a vast power cannot be brought down."
Wang Jianshan sighed deeply.
"Elder Wang, your analysis is very insightful, and the reality is indeed like that. However, no matter how powerful the enemy, if you find their weakness, they can be dealt with easily."
Chen Feng said calmly.
"You mean?"
Wang Jianshan was taken aback.
"I have been collecting information on the Jiang family for a long time, and I have discovered a significant weakness."
Chen Feng said calmly.
"What weakness?"
"The Jiang family's business is indeed very large; half of China's top ten major enterprises belong to them. They are undoubtedly one of the new four great families of China. However, the Jiang family is insatiably greedy. To earn more money, they have collaborated with foreign major sports betting groups, controlling the global sports betting market. The daily earnings are astronomical. This is why Jiang Tian could exert his influence and indefinitely suspend China's No. 20 Pile experiment project. While I hate to admit that money can make the devil turn the millstone, the fact is that money can indeed make the devil turn the millstone. The Jiang family has earned astronomical sums from global sports betting. My intention is that we can leverage this global sports betting, which appears to be the Jiang family's greatest asset, but is in reality their greatest weakness, to completely bring down the Jiang family."
Chen Feng explained calmly.
"Chen Feng, you mean you want to control sports betting?"
Wang Jianshan asked tentatively.
"Yes, that's exactly what I mean."
Chen Feng replied with a faint smile.
"Chen Feng, your idea is quite good, but the problem is, it's completely unrealistic. Think about it, how vast is the global sports betting market? To be honest, the global sports betting market is protected by private armed forces. It's impossible for ordinary people to contend with the global sports betting market."
Wang Jianshan advised Chen Feng.
Let's put it this way: Wang Jianshan would rather Chen Feng not become China's highest leader than see him provoke the global sports betting market.
How could a global sports betting market with private armed forces tolerate anyone encroaching on their interests?
"Elder Wang, don't worry, I've already figured out how to get the global sports betting market to cooperate with us instead of the Jiang family."
Chen Feng said calmly.
"Are you sure?"
Wang Jianshan asked with disbelief.
"Absolutely certain. This method is actually quite simple: use profit to lure the global sports betting market into betraying the Jiang family."
Chen Feng continued to elaborate.
"Chen Feng, honestly, this idea of yours is too outlandish. Really, the Jiang family has been cooperating with the global sports betting market for so many years, giving them astronomical sums of profit every year. How could you possibly offer a higher profit to entice the global sports betting market?"
Wang Jianshan continued to express his disbelief.
"We can use reverse thinking."
"Reverse thinking?"
"Yes, reverse thinking. Since we can't get the global sports betting market to betray Jiang Tian by following the normal path, we can use all of the Jiang family's assets to lure them. Simply put, we cooperate with the global sports betting market to bring down the Jiang family. I want the Jiang family to perish, and the global sports betting market leaders want the Jiang family's assets. This perfectly forms an alliance."
Chen Feng explained.
"This idea is good, but the danger is very high. Not to mention anything else, to cooperate with the global sports betting market, one must first contact their high-level personnel. With even a slight misstep in this contact, it could lead to a fatal consequence."
Wang Jianshan said with a worried expression.
It was no exaggeration to say that the global sports betting market could kill someone in the blink of an eye.
"Elder Wang, please rest assured, the global sports betting market will not kill me. They are indeed ruthless, but I can bring them astronomical wealth. They wouldn't be foolish enough to kill me directly. How about this, Elder Wang, you keep an eye on Jiang Tian here in China, and I'll go abroad to find a Mr. Smith, who is the behind-the-scenes boss of the world's largest sports betting market..."
Chen Feng said calmly.
"What? You're going to find Smith, known as the Grim Reaper of the West? Perhaps it's better not to. That guy is truly a killer who doesn't blink; he's an extremely dangerous individual."
Wang Jianshan warned Chen Feng with a tense expression.
