Chapter 58 Keeping the plan! Stir up the situation
…
However, now that the head of the family has arrived, they can't allow Xu Anming's family to think too much and hurried forward to invite the head of the family, Xu Anbang.
Compared with Xu Anming, an ordinary small family with direct lineage, Xu Anbang, who has reached the peak of the early stage of Lingtai realm, is obviously a big shot in Changning Wei. Whether it is vision intelligence or other sources of information, Xu Anbang has an absolute advantage.
Xu Anbang's attitude was very kind. He was polite to Xu Anming's family and exchanged greetings. Then he acted like an elder to Xu Chunyun, caring about her, as if she were the legitimate daughter married to the Xu family in Changning.
This made Xu Chunyun a little flattered.
In her whole life, she has never spoken two words to the head of the family, Xu Anbang, alone.
Finally, Xu Anbang focused his attention on Wang Shouxin, and his attitude was kind and friendly: "Shouxin, you are the son-in-law of our Xu family in Changning. We are all a family. Come back often and keep in touch with each other when there is nothing to do.
"
After expressing his condolences, Xu Anbang no longer disturbed their family reunion, but only asked Wang Shouxin to stay at the Xu family in Changning for a few more days.
Then, he left.
As soon as Xu Anbang left, the members of Xu Anming's small family immediately became lively again.
The three sisters-in-law were even more intimate and enthusiastic towards Wang Shouxin and his wife. They even arranged for the servants to notify the juniors to come back, saying they wanted them to pay a proper visit to their aunt and uncle.
After that, there was naturally a lot of excitement, let’s not mention it for now.
at dusk.
In the private study of Xu Anbang, the head of the Xu family in Changning, Wang Shouxin drank spiritual tea and sat across from Xu Anbang.
There was also a middle-aged couple accompanying me.
The woman was about forty years old. She was good-looking and had a graceful and beautiful temperament.
The man also had a very upright appearance, a calm demeanor, and a calm face. He was obviously an important general of the Xu family in Changning.
The woman's name is Wang Liuqin, the fifth aunt of the sixth generation of the Ping'an Wang family, also the fifth aunt of Wang Shouzhe and Wang Shouxin.
The man's name was Xu Anfeng, the thirteenth son of the Xu family in Changning.
Wang Liuqin and Wang Shouxin are both members of the direct lineage of the marriage between the Wang family of Ping'an and the Xu family of Changning. They are also the bond of blood and relationship between the two families.
As the eldest brother of the surnamed generation, Wang Shouxin has always been under heavy pressure and burden. He has always had a calm personality and never takes any radical risks.
Because of this, many people think that Wang Shouxin is naturally dull.
But Wang Shouzhe knew that his elder brother Wang Shouxin was also very smart and very calm.
He has been working with his father Wang Dingchuan in the Xingmao Silkworm Village since he was 18 years old. Now he is fifty-three years old and has long been able to stand alone. Under his management, the Silkworm Village has been developing steadily over the years and has become a
One of Wang's pillar industries.
How can such characters be simple?
Xu Anbang, the head of the Xu family, is reading a letter.
After reading it, his brows widened and he said with a smile: "I understand what the head of the Shouzhe family means. For this cooperation between our two families, the head of the Shouzhe family has entrusted you with full authority."
As he spoke, Xu Anbang paid more attention to Wang Shouxin's eyes.
It can be seen from the letter that Wang Shouzhe trusts and relies heavily on Wang Shouxin, and may even have plans to train Wang Shouxin to the Lingtai realm.
If this move is successful, Wang Shouxin will become a very important figure in the Wang family in the next hundred years or so.
"Master Xu." Wang Shouxin said with a solemn expression, "My fourth brother once said that the Xu family in Changning and our Wang family in Ping'an were related by marriage more than a hundred years ago, and their blood lines have been blended for a long time. What's more, in my reign as King Ping'an,
When our family was in the most difficult time, Mrs. Xu of Changning also took great care of us. Just buying the raw cocoons produced in the silkworm farm at a premium has made me, Mrs. Ping An Wang, remember it in my heart."
Wang Shouzhe has always been a grateful person.
Although the two families had some rifts due to various past events, and their relationship with each other was not smooth, the Xu family of Changning always took care of the Wang family of Ping An because of their past love.
He had to accept this love.
Apart from being a bit snobbish and being too conservative, Mrs. Xu from Changning has nothing wrong with her.
"Shou Xin, you should call me Fifth Uncle~ It would be too harsh to call me the master of the family." Xu Anbang's eyes showed a hint of relief.
Although the care given to the Ping An Wang family before was just out of love, I never thought of asking for anything in return.
But a good family that can always remember you is naturally more suitable than the Baiyanlang family for deepening relationships and working together.
After the two parties established the basis for cooperation, Xu Dingbang said with a solemn expression: "To be honest, our Xu family in Changning is in trouble."
"This is also a reasonable thing." Wang Shouxin drank the spiritual tea and said calmly, "Changning Wei only has such a small area, and it is already quite crowded with two Celestial Being families. Whether it is the Celestial Being Huangfu family or the Celestial Being family
Even the Lei family is reluctant to see the rise of another Celestial Family."
The only difference is whether you can save your face and directly attack with a sniper.
"Our Changning Xu family also has its own weaknesses. We have been working intensively in the field of weaving for nearly two hundred years, but our foundation is too weak. This gave the Huangfu family a chance to attack you. In the words of my fourth brother,
I have lived too comfortably and don’t know how to be prepared for danger in times of peace.”
"this……"
Although Xu Anbang felt a little unhappy, he also knew that the other party was telling the truth.
His face was heavy and ugly: "The former Ma Huangfu family didn't know where they got the new weaving technology. Whether it's reeling or weaving silk, the cost is only half of ours."
"Now they purchase all the raw cocoons in the surrounding areas at a price that is 50% higher, forcing us to raise the purchase price of raw cocoons to meet the production and supply needs of raw silk and silk. But in this way, not only can we not make any profit
Money is still being lost.”
"If it were normal, our Changning Xu family could still afford it. But now, our ancestors of the Changning Xu family are raising resources to attack the heaven and human realm, and they are still short of at least one hundred thousand gold. I wanted to rely on I want to borrow a sum of money to earn silk income in the next ten years, but I don’t want to be attacked by the former Ma Huangfu family.”
Xu Anbang said worriedly: "You also know that our ancestor is now one hundred and sixty-five years old. The longer we delay, the lower the chance of success in reaching the realm of heaven and humanity."
"Have you ever thought about selling off a large part of your assets, Uncle Wu?" Wang Shouxin suggested calmly.
"You don't know something about keeping your word." Wang Liuqin said for the first time, "In fact, the family has sold off some assets. If it is sold for more, it will hurt the family's vitality. If the ancestors' attack fails, Changning Xu It is very likely that the family will turn from prosperity to decline."
Once a family shows signs of decline, it is very likely to fall into a vicious cycle and go downhill.
Wang Liuqin's worries are not without reason.
For a family of heaven and man, it is not an easy task to complete the transition between heaven and man.
Once it fails once, its vitality will be severely damaged. If it fails twice, it will be a question whether the Celestial Family can survive.
It is even more difficult for the eighth-grade aristocratic family to reach the sky. It depends on chance, luck, or even one or two hundred years of accumulation.
As early as one hundred and fifty years ago, the Xu family of Changning once attacked the realm of heaven and humanity. Unfortunately, their ancestors failed that time and fell under the catastrophe of heaven.
It was from that time that the Xu family in Changning had been showing signs of decline.
If the sale of assets to attack the gods fails again, it is still a question whether the Changning Xu family can maintain its reputation as an eighth-grade family in the next few decades.
It has always been difficult for aristocratic families to go up, but if they want to go down, it doesn't matter how fast it is.
"What the ancestor means is that he is at least half sure of his attack on the Heavenly Realm this time." Xu Anbang said helplessly, "Even the ancestor himself is not willing to risk everything. Otherwise, if he fails, how can he have the face to meet his ancestors? ?”
This is not unreasonable. The Xu family in Changning is a family with a history of more than 300 years. If we risk everything, where will we put the entire family?
It is important to attack the Celestial Family, but it is even more important for the entire family to continue peacefully.
Xu Anbang took a deep breath, slightly embarrassed but still said: "Be trustworthy, the fifth uncle knows that our Ping An Wang family is developing very well now, and the family has more cash balance. The fifth uncle has the shame to talk to you, Ping An Can the Wang family lend us one hundred thousand gold to give our ancestors a chance to reach the realm of heaven and humanity?"
Wang Shouxin's brows furrowed: "The biggest problem of Xu's family in Changning now is that its pillar industry has been attacked. Its future repayment ability has been questioned. If not, I believe that Xu's family in Changning would not open its mouth to us."
"That's right." Xu Anbang's face was a little depressed, "Huangfu's sniper attack at this time is also destroying our ancestors' determination to attack the realm of heaven and humanity this time."
"They also sent an intermediary to give us a hint, saying that as long as our ancestors gave up this opportunity to attack the gods, they did not want to break up with us and would withdraw from the weaving industry."
Promotion to the Celestial Family is the common wish of every eighth-grade family.
But the Xu family in Changning is now facing a dilemma.
"Fifth uncle, please forgive me." Wang Shouxin said with a serious face, "Once something starts, it is difficult to take it back. Maybe the Huangfu family will fulfill their promise and withdraw from the weaving industry in a short time. But who can Guarantee that he will not take action again thirty or fifty years later? Is it possible that the growing Ningxu family is willing to be suppressed like this for generations?"
Xu Anbang could see that Wang Shouzhe of the Ping An Wang family had already planned this.
He immediately said: "Shou Xin, you and I don't have to beat around the bush anymore. What do you mean by the Shouzhe family?"
"We can borrow one hundred thousand gold," Wang Shouxin said, "but in the future, in the Changning Xu family's weaving industry, our Ping An Wang family will permanently occupy 40% of the shares."
Xu Anbang's expression suddenly changed: "Shou Xin, aren't you going too far? You want to take 40% of my Xu family's shares for just one hundred thousand gold. Isn't it suspected of taking advantage of the situation?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Wang Liuqin quickly stood up and advised: "Master, please calm down your anger first. I believe that Shouzhe and Shouxin are not people who take advantage of the situation. There must be something hidden in it."
Xu Anbang's expression calmed down a little, but he was still a little unhappy.
He stared at Wang Shouxin coldly, wanting to hear what flowers this boy could tell.
"Actually, Uncle Wu, you don't know something." Wang Shouxin brushed off the tea powder and threw out a bomb. "Over the years, our Ping'an Wang family has also been developing silk reeling technology and weaving silk technology. If it weren't for We are concerned about our relationship with the Xu family in Changning, and I'm afraid that the Xu family's weaving industry in Changning will be out of business early without the Huangfu family taking action."
What?!
Xu Anbang was so shocked that he almost dropped the tea cup in his hand.
Wang Liuqin and his wife also looked at him sideways.
No matter how much they thought about it, they never thought that this would be the case. But it was very simple to prove this kind of thing, and Wang Shouxin had no reason to deceive them.
Wang Shouxin seemed to have anticipated their reactions early on, and remained calm and collected.
He has always been responsible for the affairs of Silkworm Village. Under the guidance of his fourth brother, he led the village's stewards to figure out the new technology little by little. No one has more say in this matter than him. right.
He talked eloquently, briefly explaining the efficiency of some manpower or water-powered reeling and weaving equipment developed by Ping An Wang, and then said: "Uncle Wu, once our two companies cooperate, with our advanced Technology, on the contrary, can make the Huangfu family trapped in it and unable to escape."
Xu Anbang's expression became more and more exciting.
He is a qualified family head and knows very well the weaving industry, the family's mainstay industry.
If it were true as Wang Shouxin said, how could it be so simple to hold back the Huangfu family?
In the future, we can expand production capacity on a large scale and continue to merge and develop. In this way, not to mention giving out 40% of the shares, but also giving out 50% or 60%, the Changning Xu family will make a lot of money.
However, after being excited, he fell silent again: "The head of the Shouzhe family is indeed a capable person who can revitalize the Wang family. I am afraid that his move will require us to confront the Huangfu family head-on, and at least contain some of their energy. And financial resources?"
"That's natural. Otherwise, why would our Ping An Wang family have to lend 100,000 gold and only take 40% of it?" Wang Shouxin said calmly, "And the fifth uncle doesn't need to be too afraid of the Huangfu family. The fourth brother Shouzhe has one This plan can make Huangfu's family fall into a quagmire where they can't advance or retreat."
Xu Anbang's eyes lit up and he almost wanted to agree immediately.
However, he finally said: "This matter is of great importance. I must discuss it with my ancestors. An Feng, Liu Qin, please send Shouxin back to rest."
"Yes, Master."
Wang Liuqin and Xu Anfeng responded one after another.
Then, Wang Shouxin stood up and said goodbye.
His goal today has been achieved. Faced with such temptation and the secret resentment towards the Huangfu family, the Changning Xu family will definitely choose to cooperate.
After that, Wang Shouxin had a brief chat with his fifth aunt and fifth uncle. It was not until late at night that he returned to the wing of Lixiangyuan.
This was specially arranged for him and Xu Chunyun to live temporarily.
But as soon as he entered the door, his legs went weak and he almost ran away.
I saw that Xu Chunyun had drunk some wine, her face was a little red, and she looked particularly enchanting against the red candle.
She winked at Wang Shouxin with her charming eyes: "Husband, come here."
I won’t go. You are such a monster, do you want to eat people?
Wang Shouxin shook his head like a rattle.
"Wang Shouxin, you piece of shit, come here!"
"Chunyun, don't be impulsive. If you have anything to say, say it properly."
"No, I'm happy today. I've never been so proud in my life. Good luck! I said, as long as you give me face, you can do whatever you want."
"You, please don't mess around, please save me..."
