Has the times changed?
Korinovsky's eyes were a bit dazed.
He was born in that prosperous polar bear village!
He has witnessed the strength of Polar Bear Village all the way, decades ago, before he became the administrator of the village, that village was one of the strongest villages in the world!
Half the world trembled under that village!
They just stamp their feet, and the entire world shakes!
At that time, no one dared to speak loudly in front of them except for Black and White Eagle Village.
As for the Dragon Village under their feet now, back then, it was merely one of their lesser lieutenants!
It could even be considered as the weakest among their lieutenants.
Because at that time, Dragon Village had just recovered from a century-long disaster.
It was riddled with holes, to the point where even tractors, and the lowest-grade chemical products, had to be manufactured with their assistance!
Back then, they were the undisputed big brothers!
The only way for Dragon Village to confront them with confidence was to risk their lives and fight back!
Even if it weren't for the Blue Star and another dominant force opposing them, Dragon Village wouldn't have even the qualifications to risk their lives and fight back against them!
They had millions of troops!
They had tens of thousands of cannons!
They had tens of thousands of tanks!
They had thousands of airplanes!
They had tens of thousands of mushrooms.
They had the only two huge fleets in the world.
They had an enormous industrial complex that could produce thousands or tens of thousands of cannonballs and aircraft every day.
The only thing Dragon Village could compare with was the number of people.
Nothing else could be compared to Dragon Village!
Dragon Village back then was as different from them as an immature child learning to walk!
Even after the collapse of that magnificent edifice, the Polar Bear Village afterward was still not comparable to Dragon Village!
Because they had no money, Dragon Village had to shark half the village's dogs to buy their planes!!
They still had absolute status in front of Dragon Village.
At that time, Polar Bear Village was a source of pride for all the polar bear people.
Any polar bear person in that village could stand on the shoulders of a giant and look down on Dragon Village and even the entire Blue Star!
However, how could this have happened in just a few days?
Has the era changed?
Where did that little brother who followed them and called them big brothers go?
Where did that weak village go, where they had to bite their teeth and be scammed by them dozens of tons of gold just to buy some old patrol boats from the S2 era?
Where did that village go, which had to devise tactics like changing the house, even fish to death and net broken?
Why has the era changed so quickly?
Korinovsky is not someone without a brain.
He must also have a brain to be able to sit in this position now.
But he really can't understand why this era suddenly becomes like this?
The development of technology is not something that requires time to accumulate, right?
The cultivation of talents is not something that requires time to accumulate, right?
How many of the villages in the oceanic world are not dependent on hundreds or even thousands of years of accumulation, ceaseless plundering and killing to achieve their current status and strength?
Why has everything changed for Dragon Village?
Not only Korinovsky, the representatives of other Polar Bear Villages nearby were also dazed.
Hesitated to speak for a long time.
The pride that had lasted for decades told them that they shouldn't so easily submit to Dragon Village.
But reason tells them that they seem to have lost the qualifications to face the Dragon Village head-on now!
Just as Dragon Village had to watch their faces and speak when they were in front of them, now it's them who have to watch Dragon Village's faces and speak.
...
A day has quietly passed.
A day later, it's still in the same suite.
"Mr. Korinovsky, the investigation is clear. Dragon Village has indeed established a related company and is planning to promote their flying cars. Here is the detailed information about that company..."
A middle-aged man handed over the document, saying it aloud, in front of Korinovsky.
Facing the handed file, Korinovsky did not say much either. He took it directly and opened it to examine immediately.
"Jiuxiao Group?"
After a few minutes, Korinovsky finally put down the file and fell into deep thought.
After a long time, Korinovsky lifted his head again and spoke in a deep voice:
"What is this Hengyu Technology company?"
According to the investigation report, the equity structure of Jiuxiao Group is divided into two parts.
Thirty-three percent of the equity belongs to a company called Taihua Technology, and the other sixty-seven percent of the shares belong to a company called Hengyu Technology.
The background report of Taihua Technology is very clear; it is an official enterprise located in the capital of Dragon Village, directly under the headquarters of Dragon Village.
As for Hengyu Technology, the investigation report shows that it is a private company, and the background is confidential!
"I'm sorry, Mr. Korinovsky, we haven't been able to gather detailed information about Hengyu Technology. We don't know the nature and structure of this enterprise, its personnel, and even the location of this enterprise."
"We have used some special means to search through all the registered private enterprises in Dragon Village, but we have never found any information related to Hengyu Technology..."
"We attempted to conduct further investigation, but we were warned by the official Dragon Village and had to stop the investigation forcefully..."
The middle-aged man responded to Korinovsky.
At the words, Korinovsky's brow furrowed slightly.
At this moment, the middle-aged man in front of Korinovsky hesitated for a moment, and then continued:
"Mr. Korinovsky, I have another piece of intelligence here. I'm not sure if it is related to the intelligence of Hengyu Technology, but I think I need to report this to you..."
"Oh?" Korinovsky's eyes flickered slightly.
Seizing the opportunity, the middle-aged man didn't hold back, directly saying: "Two years ago, Dragon Village and Black and White Eagle Village were in a hot dispute over obstructed indices and carbon fiber. I'm sure you should remember this event..."
Upon hearing this, Korinovsky nodded slightly.
Of course, he knows about that incident.
Even the whole world knows.
At that time, Dragon Village and Black and White Eagle Village even bet a massive amount of vegetables, up to a hundred billion.
That time, the informal organizations of Black and White Eagle Village suffered a huge loss of over a hundred billion!
And that's not all. Korinovsky knew more, such as after the vegetable bet was over, some of the vegetable plates of Black and White Eagle Village wanted to flee with the money.
Then Dragon Village sent some special "collection" personnel to the door to "collect"!
As for how the collection was carried out, there's no need to explain. After that, quite a few people never appeared again.
The thousand billion vegetable funds were sent to Dragon Village within a few months.
These things are not known to ordinary people, but to people like them and some insiders, they are not a secret.
However, this matter has nothing to do with Hengyu Technology...
"Wait!!!"
Suddenly, Korinovsky had a flash of insight!
"Simon, does Hengyu Technology have any connections with the Jiuding Group?"
The most important companies involved in the incident two years ago were not only the official enterprises of Dragon Village but also the Tai Gong Fishing Co., Ltd.!
Because of that incident, Tai Gong Fishing Co., Ltd., a company that was previously unknown and unheard of by countless people, was catapulted onto the world stage!
Even until now, they are still the world's most prestigious top carbon fiber material company!
Whether it's Dragon Village or their Polar Bear Village, even the Black and White Eagle Village, countless private and official enterprises that require carbon fiber materials are all vying for Tai Gong Fishing Co., Ltd.'s carbon fiber materials!
To this day, that company has even been valued at over five trillion Dragon currency!
Moreover, this is still without being listed. If it were to be listed, the company's market value would directly double, and even increase several times without a doubt!
Of course, what Korinovsky really cares about is not Tai Gong Fishing Co., Ltd. itself, but the mysterious enterprise behind it - Jiuding Group!
An enterprise that, to this day, has not been able to be investigated by any institution to yield any valuable information!
Not only have the official investigations of various villages failed to uncover any valuable information, but even on the dark web of the world, information about Jiuding Technology has been offered as a reward.
Any actual valuable information about Jiuding, such as personnel composition, corporate structure, and research and development information of the enterprise, as long as someone can provide it, they can receive a massive bounty of at least a million dollars!
However, over such a long time, no one has ever collected these bounties!
Countless people have gone to Dragon Village to investigate Jiuding, and even countless internal personnel of Dragon Village want to investigate Jiuding.
But all of them have disappeared without a trace…
Including their Polar Bear, the only information that the whole world has now is that Jiuding Group has two top-level subsidiaries leading the world in their respective fields: Tai Gong Fishing Co., Ltd., and Star River Technology Co., Ltd.
As for the technology of the former, there's no need to say. But the technology of the latter has already attracted world attention.
The Falcon Drone that they purchased earlier, like carbon fiber, has already spread around the world. Although there is no evidence, but all kinds of news have indicated that it's not only Falcon, but also Lei Ming and Lei Shen of Dragon Village, as well as the two-tailed drone that appeared in the Southern Gate Project video plan are all related to Star River Technology!
These have directly pushed Star River Technology and Jiuding Technology to the peak.
However, like Jiuding Technology, Star River Technology has also been classified as top secret by Dragon Village. Any person who wants to delve into the secrets will disappear silently without a sound...
No one knows where those people have gone.
In a flash, a myriad of thoughts raced through Korinovsky's mind one after another.
At this time, the middle-aged man in front of Korinovsky also slowly opened his mouth:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Korinovsky, I can't determine if Hengyu Technology is related to Jiuding Group. The only information I have is that one of the subsidiaries under Jiuding Group is called Hengyu Technology."
"This is the news we first discovered after the drone of Star River Technology was exposed two years ago. However, due to the short time and the quick lockdown by Dragon Village, we only know these basic messages and cannot further investigate."
Upon hearing what Simon said, Korinovsky fell into deep thought once again.
Both are under the same Hengyu Technology.
Simon cannot confirm whether these two companies are one.
Korinovsky couldn't be sure either.
Limited information cannot provide strong evidence.
However, is there such a coincidence in the world?
The same name!
Similarly, they have cooperation with the official Dragon Village!
Similarly, they are both classified as top secret!
Similarly, they both involve cutting-edge technology!
These things can't be coincidences?
"Hengyu Technology, Star River Technology, Jiuding Group..."
"What secrets are hidden between you all?"
Korinovsky's eyes twinkled.
One after another thoughts raced through his mind.
Vaguely, he even formed a guess that made him feel somewhat unbelievable.
"The rise of Dragon Village seems to have started after the exposure of Tai Gong Fishing Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Jiuding Group..."
"Is it a coincidence?"
"Or, is Tai Gong Fishing Co., Ltd. and Jiuding just the tip of the iceberg for Dragon Village?"
...
"Exhale..."
For a long time, Korinovsky took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the thoughts in his mind.
"Soon, he spoke in a low voice: 'Simon, if I give you all the power of the Arctic Fox, can you conduct in-depth investigations into Jiuding Technology?'"
"The question mark?" The middle-aged man was stunned.
After a moment of silence, the middle-aged man said, "Sir, by in-depth investigation, do you mean to obtain detailed information about Jiuding Technology, including its business operations, personnel data, and technological information?"
"Hmm" Korinovsky nodded slightly.
"...…" With an affirmative response, the middle-aged man fell silent.
Only after a long time did he shake his head and say, "I'm sorry, Mr. Korinovsky. I cannot fulfill your request. In the past, Black and White Eagle Village has already proven the impossibility of this through practical actions!"
"According to the information we have gathered, over the past two years, Black and White Eagle Village has lost at least 2000 professional rats in relation to Jiuding Group. These people were all their elite. In addition, they lost at least 10,000 peripheral rat members, those who were only paid for doing their jobs or controlled by them through various means were even more than 100,000!"
"Their intelligence network in Dragon Village has almost been completely paralyzed due to this!"
"Even more, they also obtained the【Black Cherry】organization of Dongyin Village. Compared to the rats of Black and White Eagle Village, the【Black Cherry】organization built by Dongyin Village over decades or even centuries has stronger intelligence capabilities!"
"Even the【Black Cherry】organization could not obtain any valuable information from Dragon Village. Instead, because of Jiuding Group, the loss of rats at all levels inside and outside the【Black Cherry】organization was even greater than that of Black and White Eagle Village's rats!"
"As far as I know, because of the large number of rats, Dragon Village had to build a special prison in the unpopulated desert area in the northwestern wilderness to house them. Now, there are at least over a hundred thousand rats of various levels in that prison..."
After listening to what the middle-aged man said, Korinovsky fell silent.
The guess in his mind made him feel a desire to know, even to master all the information of Jiuding, regardless of the cost.
Even though there is no evidence.
But intuition told him that the sudden rise of Dragon Village was definitely related to Jiuding!
The timing of Jiuding's exposure and Dragon Village's sudden tough stance were too coincidental!
One or two points of coincidence may still be coincidental, but so many coincidences cannot be just coincidental!
Black and White Eagle Village and Dongyin Village paid so much to learn about Jiuding. How many costs did Dragon Village incur to keep the secret of Jiuding confidential?
What kind of secret could make Dragon Village so willing to protect it at any cost?
Just because of Tai Gong Fishing Co., Ltd.'s carbon fiber and Star River Technology's drones?
The information may be limited, but all the information tells Korinovsky that this is impossible!
Unless, all of this is part of Dragon Village's plan, and the matter with Jiuding Group is a part of their chess game, intentionally released as a smokescreen!
Intentionally pushing Jiuding Group as a target to cover up other secrets!
And these possibilities, whether any of them, make people shiver with fear!
If what he is thinking is true, that Jiuding Group and the rise of Dragon Village are closely related, then how many secrets does Jiuding Group have, and how strong is its technological strength?
And if Jiuding Group is just a target, then even the most advanced technology power on the surface is the target, what kind of incredible or even terrifying secrets need to be covered by Jiuding Group?
What is Dragon Village hiding? What are they plotting? What are they concealing?
"So, what is the truth?"
"Dragon Village... Jiuding Group... What kind of relationship do you two have? How many secrets are you hiding?"
