Chapter 673: Suppression, Co-optation, and Integration
Fang Jinglong and Geng Dalong both have the word dragon in their names. They are about the same age, but Fang Jinglong does not like to call him Brother Long, as if the aura of the world is too strong. He prefers to call him Mr. Fang or Brother Long.
Geng Dalong is just the opposite of this, because the route he took is completely different from Fang Jinglong, and what he needs is to shock outsiders, so he likes others to call him Brother Long.
After the two dragons met, Geng Dalong completely verified that the Su family was behind Liu Yuanzheng because he knew the background of this Fang Jinglong. Compared with its local snake, Fang Jinglong is a cross-river dragon in the northwest. Who dares not give him face?
Previously, Liu Yuanzheng mentioned to them more or less that the Su family was behind them. The Su family was a giant with all their hands and eyes. However, everyone was not clear about Liu Yuanzheng's background and had more or less doubts. Geng Dalong was the same.
When Geng Dalong began to believe it, it was when Su Qin went to Ningzhou last time, and that incident caused a lot of controversy, which also made Geng Dalong completely think of retreating.
Su Qin was called Su Shao by Liu Yuanzheng, and Liu Yuanzheng was even more respectful to Su Qin. Geng Dalong and others did not think that this was a scene that Liu Yuanzheng deliberately performed for them. At that time, they guessed that Su Qin was the member of the Su family behind Liu Yuanzheng.
So when Fang Jinglong came to him, Geng Dalong believed it very much, but he did not trust Fang Jinglong very much, and wanted to meet the big boss of the Su family behind the scenes, so he has been delayed until now.
Fang Jinglong told Geng Dalong that he wanted to see him, but Su Qin agreed without hesitation. Now that Aunt Chu has entered Ningzhou and has begun to integrate Ningzhou's resources, he must be supported by Geng Dalong, the local snake, otherwise Ningzhou, which had been finally captured, would be in chaos again.
"I'll make arrangements now." Fang Jinglong said lightly.
Su Qin murmured to himself: "It is easy for Liu Yuanzheng to conquer Ningzhou, but it is difficult for Aunt Chu to integrate Ningzhou. The former is nothing more than bowing to Liu Yuanzheng and admitting to Liu Yuanzheng's status, but the latter is actually cutting off their flesh. Although the newly integrated Ningzhou Development Group will have their corresponding shares, who is willing to hand over the power of life and death to outsiders? Cutting off people and wealth is like killing parents. Brother Fang, do you think so?"
Fang Jinglong considered this issue and said in a deep voice: "Whether it is Ningzhou or Longzhou, the situation is different from that of Qinzhou. Qinzhou is the young master, you will be defeated by one by one. But in order to speed up, we choose different ways in Ningzhou and Longzhou. It is nothing more than suppressing the giants and attracting others. When it is time to integrate, it is necessary to hand over all your wealth, and it is easy to cause chaos."
Su Qin held the teacup and thought, "As long as Ningzhou convinces Geng Dalong, the next thing will be easy to deal with. Geng Dalong has chosen to take the lead in integrating. If others have any complaints, they can force them. Anyway, as long as they are integrated, their power of life and death will be in our hands, and no one dares to resist again."
"What the young master said," Fang Jinglong agreed. He supported Su Qin's method. Only in this way can he completely control the situation. Otherwise, if there is no handle in his hands, these rebels will easily turn against each other one day. This is human nature.
Su Qin then said, "But what method will Longzhou use then?"
Just as Su Qin was talking about something with Fang Jinglong, Lin Xi got up and found that Su Qin was not in the room. After washing up, he went downstairs to find Su Qin.
After Su Qin's nourishment last night, Lin Xi's body exuded a charming brilliance today. Sure enough, women still need the nourishment of men, otherwise they will wither easily.
Lin Xi only wore a tight knitted dress and looked youthful and beautiful. When he saw Fang Jinglong in the living room, he chuckled and shouted, "Cousin."
Lin Xi's arrival disrupted the chat between the two. Fang Jinglong was used to Lin Xi calling him cousin. He played Su Qin's cousin when they first met. Later, Lin Xi got used to it, so it didn't matter to Fang Jinglong.
Now both of them are old acquaintances. Fang Jinglong often comes to the manor to talk about things during this time when Su Qin is sick. Lin Xi usually takes care of Su Qin in the manor on weekends, so he is so familiar.
"Lin Xi is here too." Fang Jinglong greeted politely.
After Lin Xi came over, he stood behind Su Qin's back, pressed Su Qin's shoulder with both hands, and asked gently: "What do you want to eat at noon? I'll arrange for the kitchen to make it."
"Just order home-cooked dishes simply." Su Qin said, patting Lin Xi's arm.
Lin Xi looked up at Fang Jinglong and said politely: "What do you want to eat?"
"Like the young master, I am tired of eating big fish and meat, so I want to eat some simple home-cooked dishes." Fang Jinglong laughed.
Lin Xi stood up and said, "Then you guys talk about it. I'll go to the kitchen to arrange it, so I won't bother you."
After Lin Xi left, Su Qin and Fang Jinglong continued to talk. Su Qin walked out of the floor-to-ceiling window to the outside of the terrace. Su Qin, who was only wearing a sweater, was a little cold, but the colder it was, the calmer it was.
Fang Jinglong was wearing a down jacket and didn't feel very cold.
The snow on the terrace has been cleaned up, and almost all the main roads of the manor have been cleaned up. The two of them stood on the terrace and looked at the plain-covered earth, and their hearts were instantly filled with heroic spirit.
Fang Jinglong said slowly: "As long as Longzhou defeats Shao Jiang, others should not have any objections. At that time, there will be pressure from the Northwest Su family, so there should be no big problem. I am afraid that we will not be able to chew the hard bones of Shao Jiang."
Su Qin snorted coldly: "It's hard to chew. As for Aunt Chu's integration, who dares to jump out and not accept it, then beat them up again. Without any tough means, others will jump out at any time, just treat it as an example for Xinzhou and Qingzhou."
Fang Jinglong nodded and said, "Then let me listen to the young master."
It was indeed a bit cold outside, but the scenery was fascinating. Su Qin admired the picturesque snow in the Qinling Mountains and said with interest: "How is Qi Qingxi doing recently? Have the Bai family's assets been eaten?"
Su Qin didn't care about Qi Qingxi during this period. This young lady in the royal family was so easy to control. If it weren't for her ambitions that were too great, Su Qin wouldn't mind having any further relationship with her, so that she might be able to tie the two people better.
"If Qi Qingxi hadn't eaten the Bai family yet, then the young master would probably doubt her ability. The young master didn't want Qi Qingxi to be a vase." Fang Jinglong said half-jokingly.
Su Qin laughed and said, "How can an ambitious woman be a vase? It seems that you have eaten the Bai family?"
"I ate it, but Qi Qingxi and a young junior of the Bai family are a little confused. As for what the relationship is, I have not investigated." Fang Jinglong said truthfully.
Su Qin frowned and asked, "What's the name of the young junior of the Bai family?"
Su Qin knew two young juniors of the Bai family, one was Bai Yuxuan, who was quite friendly, and the other was Bai Qing, who had conflicts.
Fang Jinglong said in a deep voice: "Bai Yuxuan."
Bai Yuxuan?
It’s really Bai Yuxuan. Why did Qi Qingxi get along with Bai Yuxuan?
Su Qin did not doubt whether Qi Qingxi used the beauty trick to conquer Bai Yuxuan, and then cooperated with Bai Yuxuan to get some of the Bai family's assets at a low price, but she would have better have other ideas.
After coming back to his senses, Su Qin snorted coldly: "Let her go."
