N-A-A Chapter 922 Protective Acquisition (Updated First, Revised Later)
Chapter 922 Protective Acquisition (Updated First, Revised Later)
His calm words were resounding, and every single one of them came from the bottom of Yin Shisan's heart.
He truly felt that some invisible shackles that had bound him for so long had broken, and in an instant, his mind became clear and he felt refreshed.
The title of Grand Secretary and his past pursuits vanished completely, but what he didn't know was that...
Behind his seemingly casual remark, the entire "God's Path Official Forum" was in an uproar...
The entire official forum for Shenlu players was shaken by this statement!
Because everything that just happened was clearly broadcast live in the "Shenlu Players Official Forum" live stream room.
Yes, in preparation for today's event, Grand Secretary Chen and his son even contacted people in the Cabinet's Information Technology and Communication Department beforehand.
They also added a live streaming function to the "Shenlu Player Official Forum"!
The purpose is for this very moment.
Today, Chen Boxu and his son's plan was an open conspiracy. They intended to deliberately target Young Master Yin, drag these "wanted players" out for a spin, give Yin Shisan a sweet treat first, and then use two heavy blows to shatter the backbone of this beacon of justice in the eyes of countless people.
Even though Yin Shisan remained silent today, he still became the sixth Grand Secretary.
However, when he wanted to start his work, he was basically completely ruined, because within the Bad Guys organization, everyone with a little seniority and insight knew that Pei Ziqi, the red-clothed leader of the Wanbaowu folk organization, was the cousin of Yin Shisan, the "white-clothed swordsman"!
If Yin Shisan was pursuing fame, fortune, status, and power, and today he has risen to become the sixth Grand Secretary, but his cousin Pei Ziqi has been made an example of by Grand Secretary Chen, and he just sits by and does nothing, in the eyes of other onlookers, it is actually a way for Young Master Yin to indirectly and completely submit a pledge of allegiance to the five Grand Secretaries of the Inner Cabinet.
He was willing to use his cousin Pei Ziqi's life as a buffer.
Using this as a stepping stone to get himself into the cabinet also indirectly shows that Yin Shisan has bowed down to Grand Secretary Chen.
Then, Yin Shisan's reputation will be ruined in no time...
This Grand Secretary is a misnomer!
This will further disillusion those who once firmly believed that Yin Shisan could bring a ray of hope to clean up the chaos within the cabinet and the Bad People organization.
That's why Chen Boxu said those words...
"No matter what Yin Shisan chooses, he's going to lose. If he stubbornly confronts Grand Secretary Chen today, he'll be immediately treated as a traitor, and they'll label him as a colluder with a 'wanted player,' giving the Grand Secretaries an excuse to attack him."
"If he chooses to suppress his family ties and the ideals he has always believed in, and chooses the former between rights and justice, even if Young Master Yin does not lose today, he will have completely transformed from a tough nut to crack into a complete stray dog. In the future, he will have a stain and a weakness."
"Whenever he encounters something he feels is unfair at work and tries to go against the organization or undermine the unity and stability of the cabinet leaders, this matter will be brought up again. You, Mr. Yin, are someone who can abandon even your cousin and use your family as stepping stones in pursuit of fame and fortune. What principles do you have?"
"His pride was completely shattered, and this rebellious brat was thus recruited. So, he still lost..."
Not far away, Chen Boxu, sitting in a low bungalow directly opposite the courtyard, was using binoculars to watch everything that was happening on the high platform in the courtyard at this moment. He spat out a grape seed and picked up the tea on the ground to rinse his mouth.
While feeling nervous, I also experienced a brief moment of excitement.
Qin Shang's biggest protector is about to disappear... Just wait, kid, it's time for us to settle accounts!
"But I really didn't expect that Yin Shisan would dare to strike first when we had the upper hand!"
"Then let's just continue with Plan A. You want to break ties with us today? Then we'll nail you to the pillar of shame today, and completely brand you, Yin Shisan, as a colluder with a 'wanted player.' Don't you like upholding justice?"
"So, you died as a colluder against a wanted player, and on the very day you were appointed the sixth Elder, this dramatic ending and conclusion was your own choice. Then I will grant your wish..."
"With the combined forces of the five Grand Secretaries, how can you, Yin Shisan, possibly resist their attack?"
"Do you really think that just because you went through a training dungeon, you're qualified to truly challenge the Cabinet?"
"Offering you amnesty isn't out of fear; the olive branch you're extending is just a delaying tactic. Do you even know what a protective takeover is? Idiot, you won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences..."
"idiot!"
Protective acquisition, the term is very simple to explain. For example, if Company A and Company B launch the same product at the same time, and they are competitors, then if Company B wants to prevent Company A from taking away its market share and continuing to engage in a bottomless price war, it may propose a protective acquisition of Company A's brand and patents.
The purpose is not because Company A is particularly strong, but simply to avoid continuing to compete with the other party and fighting tooth and nail for a slice of the pie before the market pie is fully developed, thereby establishing a monopoly position in the industry.
Meanwhile, the "Shenlu Player Official Forum" was in complete uproar.
Everyone was curious about the content of today's live stream. Although there was an announcement on the official forum a few days ago about the development of a live stream function, other ordinary players didn't have the keen sense to realize that this hastily developed function was actually used to openly and secretly judge those "wanted players" in a couple of days.
But today, as the live broadcast began, everyone saw that Chen, who had not appeared in public for several days, was sitting on a high platform, looking calm as if waiting for something, accompanied by a banner behind him.
Cabinet election plenary session held in advance...
Some people gradually realized what was going on!
Then, they saw Yin Shisan appear, saw the meeting begin, and saw that the young generation leader who was rumored to be at odds with Grand Secretary Chen in everyone's memory had actually become the sixth Grand Secretary in Grand Secretary Chen's words, and was even warmly invited to sit on the high platform in the leadership seat.
The players watching the live stream were already completely bewildered and confused, until...
Grand Secretary Chen boasted that he had not been able to complete the routine procedures before each cabinet election meeting.
At a command, the red-robed cult leader Pei Ziqi and the "wanted players" were brought out.
At that moment, all the players watching the live stream completely understood.
Even those who were unaware of the past grievances between Grand Secretary Chen and Yin Shisan sensed an undercurrent of conflict when they saw these people being brought out. After all, Grand Secretary Chen, couldn't you deal with the wanted players privately?
The suspects have been apprehended; can't the matter be handled privately?
Their crimes have been thoroughly investigated. Can't we just send them to the court of judgment, get the documents, take away their character cards, and then send them all to prison?
This is modern times, not ancient times. What leader would push people out to summarize recent work? Isn't that strange? It's like a police chief who recently cracked a large-scale pyramid scheme fraud case, so at the commendation meeting, he specifically pushed out those fraudsters one by one and interrogated them at the commendation meeting.
It's like it's deliberately designed to look like someone is watching... It's the 21st century, where can you find something like this?
Usually, when criminals are caught, they are at most mentioned in the resume of a sheriff at an awards ceremony as a reason for promotion or as a suspect in a case. At most, there will be a brief introduction on how the sheriff caught them, what investigative methods he used, and what breakthrough he took in the investigation, ultimately bringing them to justice.
But... who would escort these criminal suspects to the commendation ceremony?
This is the most unusual thing, and anyone with eyes can see that something is wrong.
