Huai'an.

Xuancheng.

There are seven people here.

The leaders of the seven major families in Xuancheng are all here.

There is an exception. The person in charge of the Song family here is neither Song Tianyuan nor the old head of the Song family, but the third son of the old head of the Song family, who is also Song Tianyuan's third uncle.

"We and other seven companies are deeply rooted in Xuancheng. They have been operating for many years. How much they can earn depends on their own abilities. However, the disabled one came to Xuancheng."

Third Master Song put his hands behind his back, looked at the heads of each family, and said in a deep voice: "His Zhuang's Trading Company not only took away our interests, but also occupied the majority, overwhelming us and other seven families, almost becoming

The first one in Xuancheng.”

Everyone present fell silent.

In the past two or three years, Zhuang's Trading Company has controlled all business lifelines in Xuancheng, but in fact, with Zhuang's Trading Company's connections, the entire Xuancheng has become more prosperous than before.

Therefore, the benefits they gained have not become less, but more than before.

However, in their hearts, this Xuancheng is their place, and Zhuang's Trading Company is an outsider after all.

No matter how big the business is, it should be run by them themselves.

With Xuancheng's current prosperous business transactions, all the benefits should belong to them.

But now, all their businesses can only get the maximum benefits through Zhuang's Trading Company.

In this way, you can't help but feel like you are living under someone else's roof.

"There is nothing better than a dove occupying a magpie's nest."

Third Master Song said calmly: "Everyone knows that my nephew Song Tianyuan is unparalleled in resourcefulness, even better than Zhuang Ming. Today I was assigned by him to discuss with you all to destroy Zhuang Ming in one fell swoop.

Foundation.”

"In the past two or three years, we can only cooperate with Zhuang's Trading Company and respect Zhuang Ming."

"But in fact, have you ever thought about it? Zhuang Ming's business must maintain various business operations within Xuancheng and cannot lose us."

"So, the three companies joined forces last time and defeated Zhuang's branch in Xuancheng."

"Now if Zhuang's Trading Company wants to continue operating, it can only transfer goods from other places. However, the cost of the goods will be higher, the price will be higher, and its own profits will be lower, but it will also make the merchants who cooperate with it feel unhappy.

If you are dissatisfied, even ordinary people and ordinary guests will inevitably discuss it."

"Zhuang's Trading Company cannot withstand such losses and will retreat sooner or later."

He stood up, put his hands behind his back, looked at the head of the Qian family, and said: "Master Qian, the source of goods for Zhuang's firm has always been from you. You cut off his goods last time, and then you sold the goods."

As for us and other families... we cooperate with each other for mutual benefit, eliminate Zhuang's Trading Company, suppress Zhuang's Trading Company, and the gold and silver money we earn will naturally belong to each of our families."

The head of the Qian family said calmly: "But have you ever thought about it, without Zhuang's business here, how could Xuancheng be as prosperous as it is today?"

Mr. Song frowned. The head of the Qian family had fought against Zhuang Ming with the Song family. He was the staunchest ally. This time, he was supposed to invite him to speak together to help him and convince everyone. Why now?

The head of the Qian family has something wrong with his speech tendencies?

"Today's prosperity is indeed related to Zhuang's Trading Company, but no matter what, Xuancheng belongs to us."

Third Master Song said slowly: "As long as Zhuang's Trading Company is completely swept out, Xuancheng, which is more prosperous than before, will fall into our hands. Now the fruits of Zhuang's Trading Company in Xuancheng will be divided by us."

The head of the Qian family sighed softly and said, "What if the seven of us form an alliance and squeeze the Zhuang's Trading Company out of Xuancheng? The Zhuang's Trading Company's business is spread across the sixteen prefectures of Huai'an and has involvement in eighty-seven cities."

He moved his eyes away from Mr. Song, glanced at other companies, and asked: "We alone control Xuancheng, and only hold on to our own three-acre land, can we compete with giants like Zhuang's Trading Company?"

There was sudden silence in the field.

The head of the Qian family laughed bitterly again.

"What's more, can we really hold Xuancheng securely?"

This sentence made everyone fall silent.

The head of the Qian family looked complicated and whispered: "Everyone has experienced Mr. Thirteen's methods. He had no roots in Xuancheng, but he was able to break into this place and take root. He also suppressed us and became a leader in Xuancheng.

The first family. But now, he has a foundation. Even if we squeeze him out, is it really difficult for him to make a comeback with the remaining foundation in Xuancheng and the power spread throughout the Sixteenth House of Huai'an? "

"Actually, Master Qian... what he said makes sense." Someone finally spoke up.

"Although I am not resentful that Zhuang's Trading Company has set foot in Xuancheng and sat above us, occupying the greatest interests, it is undeniable that today's Xuancheng is more prosperous than Xuancheng in the past, and the silver we earn is more than

That year it increased instead of decreasing.”

"This Mr. Thirteen has huge connections all over the Sixteenth House of Huai'an. We can't fight him, and we don't need to fight him."

"Mr. Song, you..."

…

The third son of the Song family looked at the head of the Qian family with solemn eyes, his eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Could it be that this guy turned against him and was bribed by Zhuang Ming again?

But the previous time, he teamed up with his family to attack Zhuang's Trading Company.

The feud between the Qian family and the Zhuang firm has been settled.

He would not be surprised if other families were leaning toward Zhuang Ming, but why was the head of the Qian family the least likely to fall in favor of Zhuang Ming?

"Master Qian."

Third Master Song took a deep breath and said: "Although I don't know why you are so inclined to Zhuang's Trading Company, but since our Song family is sure to take action, we are sure to defeat Zhuang's Trading Company! You don't dare to take risks. Our Song family is now

Our family is big and our business is big, so we don’t dare to risk our own destruction by acting recklessly or doing things we are not sure about.”

He looked at the leaders of the other families and said sternly: "The defeat I am referring to is not just the Xuancheng area, but the foundation of the Zhuang Company's eighty-seven cities in the Sixteenth Prefecture of Huai'an!"

Everyone present suddenly looked at each other in shock.

The head of the Qian family pondered: "Why?"

Third Master Song laughed and said: "Just because my nephew Song Tianyuan has won the trust of the Seventh Prince in the capital, he has the power of the official family! From today on, his Zhuang's Trading Company will be suppressed by the imperial court.

Thorough investigation, rectification, and punishment!”

Hearing these words, the heads of each family immediately felt awe-inspiring in their hearts, and for a moment, they were wavering.

Third Master Song said slowly: "Xuancheng is the foundation of the Song family. You and I, the Song family, are also old acquaintances, so I am here to come forward today. And my nephew Song Tianyuan, as well as my father, my elder brother, and my younger brother

, are not in Xuancheng...just because they have gone to other parties to discuss the matter!"

He lowered his head, took out a large stack of paper, and said seriously: "Today, not only in Xuancheng, but also in the entire Sixteenth House of Huai'an, there are people from my Song family, and those in power in each family will also get these... This is

In the next two days, I, the Song family, will make plans for Zhuang's Trading Company, and I, the Song family, will make plans for the future of the Sixteenth Mansion in Huai'an!"

Everyone present hesitated.

The head of the Qian family's eyes changed, and he took the pages handed over by Mr. Song.

He glanced at it, and the expression on his face suddenly changed, and he was uncertain.

The first page above is about the Xuancheng Song family's attack on Zhuang's trading company.

Borrowing the power of officials from above, and asking for help from merchants below.

Not only the head of the Qian family, but also the leaders of other families all looked strange.

"Zhuang's Trading Company is so prosperous in the Sixteenth Prefecture of Huai'an because of two things: it welcomes officials and dignitaries and tries its best to curry favor with it; and it cooperates with merchants and businessmen."

Third Master Song said slowly: "This time, Zhuang's Trading Company should be suppressed at the official level. Even those who have dealings with Zhuang's Trading Company will inevitably be affected and investigated by the court. Under such circumstances, how can you really

Want to take a risk and cooperate with Zhuang Ming?"

Everyone, including the head of the Qian family, was silent.

"No one dares to deal with Zhuang's Trading Company anymore."

"He has cut off his business opportunities, but he is nothing but water without roots."

"I will leave this plan to you for review now, because the layout is in place and I am not afraid of sending it to Zhuang Ming."

"Just think about it, if you were Zhuang Ming, and the situation has reached the current level, is there still a chance to turn around?"

The third master of the Song family glanced at everyone and said: "No matter how smart Zhuang Ming is, it's a pity that he can't predict the future. Now even if he is extremely resourceful, it is already too late. The situation has been decided. Zhuang's business will become a thing of the past."

The powerful people present looked at the paper in their hands and fell silent.

Song Tianyuan's methods were more ruthless than they imagined.

As the leaders of each family, they are naturally not stupid people.

It was impossible for Song Tianyuan to reveal all his plans. The plans written on the paper in front of him were definitely only part of them.

But this part is already extremely terrifying. If they were to stand in the position of Mr. Thirteen Zhuang Ming, it would be enough to put them in a desperate situation and make them unable to stand up.

They ask themselves that they are bound to lose, so can the Thirteenth Mr. Zhuang Ming really turn around?

Even the head of the Qian family fell into silence.

He knew that Zhuang Ming already knew about Song Tianyuan.

But can Zhuang Ming really know that Song Tianyuan has already arranged such a situation?
