Bang!
In the conference room on the top floor of the Guo Family's Weili Building in the Imperial Capital, a dull thud was heard. This was the sound of the Guo Family's Patriarch slamming his fist on the conference table.
From this, one could tell that the Patriarch of the Guo Family was furious.
Any large family would have a Patriarch because the family's influence was too great. Naturally, they needed someone to give orders.
The reason why the Patriarch of the Guo Family was so furious was because the Guo Family had suffered heavy losses in the past month, be it in terms of officialdom or finances. Although the Guo Family was considered a large family, the decrease in income was not a good thing. In particular, the originally profitable real estate and credit industries had their income greatly reduced. This was not a good thing. Money could make the world go round, but without money, it would be difficult to do anything.
"Who can tell me why the economic income has decreased so much? The increase has actually decreased by forty percent! The net profit is also obviously declining … What exactly is going on? "The Patriarch of the Guo Family questioned the crowd.
"Patriarch, the real estate industry has suffered heavy losses. This is all because of the influence of the Guo family and General Yan's faction. They strongly oppose the loose monetary stimulus policy. As for our credit services, you should know that our credit services are all carried out through the shadow banking method. We circulate our loans into the market through private usury. However, if we want to collect our loans and interest, we need the participation of some gangsters. These people are all professional debt collectors. Without them, we can't do it." Someone tried to explain. "Yes, Patriarch.
"If that's the case, get those hooligans to take action quickly! Are you going to let all these accounts turn into bad debts? You have to know that this money doesn't just belong to our Guo Family. A lot of it comes from other families and was entrusted to us to manage. This money isn't freely lent to us. We have to pay a corresponding price for this money! "The Patriarch of the Guo Family said angrily.
"But Patriarch, something unexpected has happened in the underworld. The entire Hua Xia gang is no longer under the control of any underworld forces or righteous people. Now, whether it's the demolition of real estate or the usury collection, there are problems. This includes the distribution of drugs and other businesses."
"Oh? Who has such a big appetite to eat up the entire underworld of Hua Xia? Isn't this a strange incident? Hmph! Aren't you afraid of bursting your stomach if you eat it alone? Even if it's our family, we don't have the qualifications to eat the entire Hua Xia gang. Oh right, who is so arrogant? "
"Rumor has it that it was done by the Poisons," someone said. "But this matter is very strange, and we can't be completely sure yet."
"Useless thing! He couldn't even confirm such a small matter! You people are getting more and more useless! "The Guo Family's Patriarch was furious." Could it be that the Poisons brat, Qin Lang? "
"Does the Patriarch know this person?" someone asked in surprise.
"Could it be that our Eternal Plan was ruined by this person?" The Guo Family's Patriarch asked. "I've already paid attention to this person, but why aren't you paying attention to him? Do you think he's not worthy of your attention? "
It was no wonder that the Guo Family's Patriarch was so irritable. Recently, the Guo Family's situation had been very unfavorable. Whether it was in the military, political, or business, they had encountered a lot of trouble. Moreover, the Guo Family's first major failure was with the Dragon Vein Plan. Since that failure, many problems of the Guo Family had become apparent, and they had even begun to go downhill.
As the Guo Family's Patriarch, of course, he knew the connection between the Eternal Plan and the Dragon Vein Plan. Although many people in the Guo Family thought that the Dragon Vein Plan was just a small part of the plan, and if it failed, it would not affect the Guo Family's foundation. However, as the Patriarch, he did not think so. In his opinion, the process of a family's rise was like rowing a boat against the current — if you don't move forward, you will fall back. The Guo Family had always been smooth sailing, but ever since the failure of the Dragon Vein Plan, it seemed to have started to go downhill. This was not a good thing for a family head. After all, it was not a good feeling to see one's own family weakening. However, when the Patriarch saw the Guo Family's people, he understood why the plan failed — the Guo Family's people were no longer enough to support the family!
Greedy for ease, decadent … In the eyes of the Guo Family's Patriarch, these were the Guo Family's disciples. This was the inevitable fate of any dynasty or family. The Guo Family was too big and too rich, so the Guo Family's disciples had already given up the spirit of struggle and resistance. They only cared about pleasure and enjoyment, and they would not be able to achieve anything.
However … not all the Guo Family's disciples were like this. At least in the eyes of the Guo Family's Patriarch, Guo Songxiang was a very good young man. This person could be regarded as a role model among the Guo Family's disciples. Not only was his martial arts strong, but he was also very determined. Most importantly, he was also very good at strategizing. Only this person was qualified to be the Guo Family's Patriarch in the future. As for the other young people, they only knew how to race cars, flirt, and cause trouble … They would not be able to achieve anything.
While thinking about this, the Guo Family's Patriarch saw Guo Songxiang enter the conference room and said, "Sorry, I'm a little late today. However, I have a rough idea of what you're discussing, and I've already investigated it myself. The current Hua Xia Underworld Gang is completely ruled by a force. After some investigation, I finally found something — everyone can take a look, it's this person! "
A handsome face appeared on the projection screen in the conference room. If Qin Lang was here, he would recognize this person as Liang Bei. However, the Guo Family's people seemed to be very unfamiliar with this person.
"Who is this idiot?" A young direct descendant of the Guo Family asked. "Since we know his information, we can just find an assassin to kill him."
Hearing this person's words, the Guo Family's Patriarch and Guo Songxiang couldn't help but frown. This person's tone clearly showed that he didn't take this matter seriously enough, and his words were not up to standard. If this person wasn't a direct descendant of the Guo Family, he probably wouldn't even have the right to sit here in the conference room. If the Guo Family only had these idiots left, they would probably collapse in the future. No matter how much resources and wealth they accumulated, it would be useless.
