The Guo family members looked at each other. These people really didn't know where Liang Bei came from, but to these people, they wouldn't put a mere gang leader in their eyes, even if this gang leader seemed to have integrated all of Hua Xia's underworld gangs.
This was something that couldn't be helped. These people were all "big shots" in the military and monopolized industries, while Liang Bei was just a lowly member of society. In their eyes, the underworld gangs were just tools to be used, or just dogs they raised. They had no right to bargain with them. If it was a disobedient gang member, they could just kill him. This was their usual style of doing things.
"Guo Songxiang, are you here to show off your achievements or to teach us a lesson?" One of the young direct descendants said unhappily. "He's just a gang member. Is he worthy of our attention —"
"Idiot!" Guo Songxiang interrupted the person's words. "You're really stupid! That's right, he's just a gang member, not worth mentioning, but are you deaf? Don't you know that many of our Guo family's businesses have to be carried out through these people? You're in the real estate business, who's going to do the demolition? You're in the loan shark business, who's going to collect money for you? You're in the mining business, who's going to settle it for you if the workers are killed? Are you going to send the police to do these things? "
Many people had heard of this saying, but not everyone understood the truth behind it. The underworld gangs were originally insignificant, just like the citizens of a country. However, water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. If anyone could completely control this huge force, then he would have the right to intervene in many fields. Because many fields needed people at the bottom to be the executors, and if all the people at the bottom were controlled by one person, it would be very terrifying.
There weren't many people who could instantly see the truth behind it. This was precisely what Guo Songxiang and the Guo family's head were having a headache. Right now, many people in the Guo family were still sleeping on their wealth and power, but they didn't know that the continuous events these days had begun to affect and shake the Guo family's foundation. Even if the Guo family had a large business, it couldn't withstand this continuous decline. What's more, once the Guo family shows signs of weakness, many enemies in the military and government will not let go of this opportunity.
"Guo Songxiang, since you've already investigated it clearly and have a plan, you can just take action directly. Talking about this in front of us, are you trying to show off your ability or our incompetence? Isn't he just thinking about the family head position … "
Someone ridiculed Guo Songxiang, but before he could finish his words, this person flew up from his seat and fell heavily to the ground. This was Guo Songxiang directly attacking, sending him flying with a punch through the air.
"You … Guo Songxiang … you've gone too far!" Another person objected. "This is a family meeting after all. Do you want to behave atrociously here?"
"Family meeting? You idiots still know that this is a family meeting! If you had any brains, you wouldn't have fallen into such a passive situation today! You're slower than others in every aspect, and you still think that everything is under your control. You're simply too stupid! "Guo Songxiang said angrily.
"Enough …" The Guo family's head signaled Guo Songxiang to calm down, then looked around and said, "You're all considered the Guo family's direct descendants, the elites, but now the Guo family's business is starting to go downhill. All of you have to think of a solution for me. I want to see the actual results! Otherwise, the benefits you receive from the family head will also decrease. "
The last sentence was like a choke on these people's necks. If it was only their family's interests that were affected, these people might not have a deep understanding of it. However, when it came to their own interests being weakened, these people immediately felt the same.
After the family meeting ended, the Guo family's head said to Guo Songxiang, "Songxiang, now that you've seen it for yourself, this is the current situation of our family. What do you think?"
"If they weren't from the Guo family, I really wanted to fire them immediately and kick them out!" Guo Songxiang didn't hide the displeasure in his heart.
"Yes, but after all, they're from the Guo family, aren't they?" The Guo family's head said, "Therefore, there are still many important things that you need to worry about — oh right, do you have any solutions to the current situation?"
"Based on the current situation, I don't think it's optimistic. Our Guo family is like a big ship braving the waves in the sea. The most important thing is the courage and drive to brave the waves. If we lose our drive, the problem will be quite serious. Look at these people now, they don't have any drive at all. Therefore, I don't count on these people. I just hope that they don't squander too much. "
"Then how do you consider and deal with the Pugilistic World's underworld?" The Guo family's head asked. "I heard that your current situation in the Art Faction isn't that good."
"The Art Faction is just a chess piece that our Guo family is using." Guo Songxiang said, "Originally, the Art Faction was willing to be used by us. But after a series of setbacks, this bunch of people started to become timid. He's just a kid from the Pugilistic World's Sect. The people from the Art Faction don't dare to kill him now. They say that the kid is now a famous alchemist in the Pugilistic World. If the assassination doesn't succeed, I'm afraid that many experts in the Pugilistic World will gang up on him. "
"Then what do you think?" The Guo family's head asked.
"It's no longer enough to rely on those Pugilistic World's people. These Pugilistic World's people, although capable, don't know how to keep up with the times. Sooner or later, they'll be eliminated. Therefore, I think we should strengthen our cooperation with the US Empire and let them provide some of the secret weapons needed for the Eternity Plan! "Guo Songxiang said.
"This is no small matter!" The Guo family's head said, "Those Caucasians are all cunning people. Although the Eternity Plan is something that will benefit all of us, I still feel that there's a conspiracy behind it."
"There's definitely a conspiracy!" Guo Songxiang said. "But for the time being, they need us! Hua Xia, other than our Guo family, no other family has the capability and the thought to cooperate with them. Therefore, they can only trust us and cooperate with us. Only then can they continue to carry out the Eternity Plan. Moreover, the current plan requires a huge amount of funds. We control a portion of the world's second largest economic entity's monopoly assets. Only by cooperating with us will they have sufficient funds to carry out the Eternity Plan! "
"That's indeed the case. In that case, I'll discuss with the other party and let them lend us some strength. Just say that it's inconvenient for us to use some of our own strength and power in the country," the Guo family's head said.
