The fat and white old man, with a smile and a friendly look on his face, was suddenly the venerable Northern Longyin, Heishui.
Sitting opposite him, the old man in ancient costume is the owner of this island.
He is also one of the two kings of the Donghai Group, Wang Braid, known as the Braid King. Because of his age, he is also known as "Old Wang".
"Old Wang, you're welcome. Once things are done, we will be a family."
"Although the East China Sea is large, it is not enough to satisfy your ambition, Lao Wang. Head Xia and I welcome you to invest in the north."
"We will give our full support."
Wang Zhuizi laughed heartily and said, "That's right, we will soon be a family."
"For this family, we should drink this too!"
Heishui smiled and said: "Respect the old king."
The two drank it all in one gulp.
Putting down the wine glass, a look of worry appeared on the braided king's face.
He pondered for a moment and said: "The Xia family is located in the north and has great strength. Young Master Xia Mingxia is a dragon and a phoenix among people, a leader among the younger generation."
"Logically speaking, this marriage is a perfect match and there is no problem at all."
"but--"
Heishui's expression changed and he sneered: "Why, does anyone in Donghai disagree?"
"Who dares to disagree with your braided matchmaker Wang Bao?"
The braided king sighed, suddenly looking sad.
He stood up and walked over, closing the door and windows tightly. The sound of wind and rain outside was cut off, and the small room immediately seemed mysterious.
The braided king's voice also became deeper.
"The five major families in the Dragon Kingdom, because the Qi family in Lingnan in the south went bankrupt fifty years ago, the seven southern provinces have become scattered. So now, to be precise, there should be four major families."
"Bei Zun should also know about these four major families. They are the Qin family in the west, the Xia family in the north, the Di family in the middle, and the Wang family in the east of us."
"The four major families stand together as a tripartite. In the eyes of outsiders, they appear to be arrogant and arrogant."
"But, what's the real situation? It's like a fish drinking water, knowing whether it's hot or cold."
Heishui smiled and said, "Really?"
"So, do you, the Wang family of Donghai, have any unspeakable secrets?"
"As one of the second kings of the Wang family, do you have any problems that are difficult to solve?"
The braided king sighed: "Every family has sutras that are difficult to recite."
"Bei Zun, I know that you have a very good relationship with the head of the Xia family in the north. Otherwise, you would not deign to act as a matchmaker for them."
"Then do you know the real reason why the Xia family agreed to marry us?"
Heishui's eyes flickered: "Oh?"
"I didn't think much about this, so I would like to ask the braided king to explain."
The braided king sneered and said: "Xia Jie, the head of the Xia family, is a great leader. He has been in charge of the Xia family for twenty years, keeping a low profile and growing secretly."
"Although the north is big now, it can no longer satisfy his appetite."
"At our level, any personal relationship between children does not exist. Marriage only serves interests."
"He asked his carefully cultivated only son to marry our eldest lady. Isn't he just looking at Donghai's interests?"
"Ever since the island owner passed away due to illness, Donghai has never had anyone it can trust. Marquis Jin Yi is in charge of everything."
"However, Marquis Jin Yi is only a temporary agent. The eldest lady is a close relative of the island owner, and sooner or later, the East China Sea will be handed over to her."
"Now, do you understand why Xia Jie asked his son to propose?"
Heishui sneered and said, "So, what the Xia family leader values is your family business in the East China Sea."
