Wu Bei smiled and said, "Really? Grandpa, when the time comes, let's celebrate."
Li Yundou waved his hand quickly: "No, no, we can just pass by as we please."
Li Shaodong smiled and said, "Dad, that's not possible. This is a life-long celebration, and it's all about saving face. You can't be hasty."
Li Jianing said: "Yes, dad, this birthday is going to be held in Yundong, so the Li clan must see how our clan is doing."
The Li family is a common surname in Yundong. Li Yundou's father alone, Li Shenghua, Wu Bei's great-grandfather, had five wives and thirteen sons. These thirteen people all branched out and developed in their own way, and most of them had
achieved good results and a high social status.
Speaking of the Li clan, Li Yundou thought thoughtfully and said, "Jianing, do you mean that I take the opportunity to integrate the Li clan?"
Li Jianing nodded: "Dad, you are said to be the most accomplished member of the Li family, but the patriarch has selfish motives and will not say hello to you no matter what. This birthday banquet, we are going to make it grand and spectacular.
, let them know your status in the business world and Yundong."
Li Shaodong nodded: "Dad, I agree with what my little sister said."
He paused: "By the way, I received an invitation to the clan gathering the day before yesterday. Do you want to go?"
Wu Bei asked: "Second uncle, what is the origin of this clan gathering?"
Li Shaodong: "Xiaobei, this clan gathering is a place for clan members to exchange resources. It is also a warm-up for the clan conference."
Li Jianing said: "At the clan gathering, several people will be recommended to participate in the Li clan conference to be held in the second half of the year, and new clan leaders and clan elders will be elected."
Wu Bei was a little surprised and said, "Auntie, there must be tens of millions of Li family members around the world, right?"
Li Jianing smiled and said: "Our Li family is a common surname, with more than 100 million people in the world. Of course, there are subdivisions. For example, the clan assembly we attended was mainly from the Li family in the Tang Dynasty, which accounted for the majority. It is said that the total number
There are tens of millions of people."
Wu Bei: "The scale of a clan with more than ten million people is too scary. It can even match the population of Gaul."
Li Shaodong: "Yes, so this clan conference is very important. It is held every three years. Those who can speak at the conference are all the world's top strongmen. By the way, Xiao Beiqi also has practitioners."
Wu Bei: "Second uncle, what do you and aunt mean by saying that we also want to attend the Li clan meeting?"
Li Shaodong: "If possible, of course I must participate. Xiaobei, in fact, with your current status, you can definitely become a clan elder level existence."
Li Jianing: "Don't talk about the clan being old, Xiaobei, as long as you can get a director position at the clan meeting, when you come back, the position of clan leader will belong to your grandfather."
Li Yundou smiled and said: "This is not an exaggeration. After all, the current patriarch only made a speech at the conference. He is not even a director."
Wu Bei is well aware that the water is extremely deep. The energy and resources behind a surname with more than 10 million yuan must be astonishing. Among other things, there are many big bosses with the surname Li in high positions today.
people.
He said: "Grandpa, do you want to be the patriarch?"
This was a very direct question. Li Yundou thought about it and said, "Being the best is, after all, beneficial to our family."
Wu Bei smiled and said: "Then, I will go to the Li family's clan gathering the day after tomorrow, and then attend the clan conference in the second half of the year. I am not sure about the clan leader, but the elder clan will definitely be fine."
Li Shaodong and Li Jianing's eyes lit up. This was a matter of honoring the ancestors. If Wu Bei could do it, that would be great!
However, Wu Bei still had doubts in his heart. He said: "Aunt, second uncle, was the scale of this clan meeting as big as before?"
Li Shaodong shook his head: "In recent years, it has become more and more grand."
Then he showed some doubts: "It seems that something important is about to happen, but I don't know. Maybe only the elders of the Li family know."
Wu Bei's heart suddenly moved: "Is something big going to happen?"
Li Yundou also said: "I have a similar feeling. Especially in the past ten years, some top figures seem to be making preparations silently."
Wu Bei: "Grandpa, what preparations have they made? Can you be more specific?"
Li Yundou: "For example, some forces are making friends with people in the spiritual world regardless of cost; some forces have begun to buy large tracts of land in the wilderness, but they do not develop it after buying it, and just leave it there. There are also some forces that recruit people from all over the world.
A large number of masters died, they were vigorously cultivated, and a large amount of resources were stored, such as clothes, food, etc. It gave people the feeling that the world was about to end."
Wu Bei was thoughtful, could something really happen?
After thinking for a while, Wu Bei said: "Dad, we will go to the clan meeting the day after tomorrow."
Li Nianzu asked: "What should I do?"
Li Yundou said: "Nian Zu, you might as well go and see the world. If possible, let Xuan Bei give you a push."
Li Nianzu was an honest man. He scratched his head and said, "Dad, I don't have much experience. I'm afraid I won't do it well."
Li Yundou laughed "Haha": "You don't need any experience if you are like this. Naturally, they will push you to the top."
Li Jianing smiled and said: "Brother, you are the father who values the son."
Li Shaodong said: "Not only eldest brother, but our Li family, don't we all rely on Xuan Bei?"
Wu Bei waved his hand: "Second uncle, please stop flattering me. The Li family is what it is today, and it is naturally due to my grandfather. He traveled to Southeast Asia and went through countless hardships to create such a family business."
Li Yundou: "Okay, don't flatter me, an old man."
At this moment, a person came in a hurry, it was Li Mei. Li Mei had just got off the plane. He had gone to Dongxing Kingdom for inspection before and knew about the family gathering, so he hurriedly took time off to attend.
As soon as Li Mei arrived, she was pushed by Li Jianing to sit next to Wu Bei.
Li Jianing asked: "Xiaomei, how is Dongxing Country? Is it suitable for investment?"
Li Mei drank a glass of juice first, and then said after a while: "It's not just suitable, it's perfect. Xuan Bei now controls the entire Dongxing Kingdom, and he is the emperor there."
Everyone was surprised that Wu Bei did not elaborate on this matter with them.
Li Shaodong: "So, we can fully invest in Dongxing Kingdom?"
Li Mei nodded: "Of course. Dongxing invests at least 1 trillion in infrastructure every year. Moreover, its area is about a little times that of Yundong, but its population is only more than 10 million. In the future, we can send some workers there.
Open a factory there."
Li Jianing: "After all, it is a backward country. It may not be possible to build it in three to five years. I am afraid that it will change over time."
Li Mei: "Auntie, don't worry. Dongxing is now the largest military power in Africa. Even if Europa's army drives over, we won't be afraid."
She continued: "Furthermore, when we open a factory in Dongxing, we can enjoy tax exemption, and the profit is more than twice as high as domestically. Because Dongxing is a member of the African Union, their goods are tax-free in African countries, which is a great advantage.
."
Everyone was in high spirits, and the topic was all about Dongxing Kingdom.
The family banquet lasted until night, and everyone stayed at home. Fortunately, there were many houses at home, so no matter how many people there were, they could accommodate them.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Wu Bei called Li Nianzu to the back garden and said, "Dad, tonight, I will help you become an earthly immortal."
