Chapter 1421 ·Relationship

"There has never been a stable relationship in this world." Min Tingke whispered, "As the saying goes, people's hearts are separated from each other, and brothers have to settle the score clearly, let alone the relationship between uncle and nephew? Zeng Shaoquan has no son of his own right now, so he will try his best to assist his nephew and nephew. But what if he has a son in the future? Can he still selflessly win over outsiders and put his son aside?"

Chang Andao, "Zeng Shaoquan is at this age, can he still have a son?"

Min Tingke said, "How can this be said? If a son really breaks out one day, this subtle relationship will naturally be broken. What's more, even if there is nothing wrong with Zeng Shaoquan here, who can guarantee that Guan Boyuan and Zeng Mingwei will not be wrong?"

Chang An thought for a while. "With Guan Boyuan's temper and character, he doesn't seem to be a mess. On the contrary, Zeng Mingwei is a person who is uneasy. If Zeng Shaoquan doesn't discipline him well, something will inevitably happen in the future."

Min Tingke said, "Hey, this is something Zeng Shaoquan should worry about. What are we worried about? No matter who is the mayor of Shanghai, the Min family is still the same as before. As long as you don't come to my head and make trouble, everything will be fine. If anyone touches the interests of the Min family, no matter whether they are surnamed Guan or surnamed Zeng, I will never sit idly by."

Chang An thought that Min Tingke's first thing he did when he arrived in Guangdong was to meet Zeng Mingwei. The two of them were verbally quarreled and refused to take a step back. In the end, Zeng Mingwei realized the reality and dared not act rashly, so he returned the Min family's food.

However, with Zeng Mingwei's temper, this matter will definitely not be good. There will be a subsequent move in the future. The Min family must prepare early.

Chang An asked curiously, "Sixth Master, what did you and Zeng Mingwei say? How could he promise to return the cooked duck that had been spoken to?"

When the two were talking, there was no one serving each other, and Chang An didn't know how the two negotiated until now.

Min Tingke said, "Actually, I didn't say anything. I just told Zeng Mingwei that it would be impossible if he forced to collect this batch of grain as military rations, but the Min family would then withdraw from Guangdong and sell Thirteen Lines at a low price."

Chang An opened his mouth wide in shock.

The Thirteenth League has been in Guangdong for decades. Once it withdraws, it will not only cause great harm to the Min family, but also the local business community will probably be greatly shocked.

This is a strategy to hurt eight hundred and hurt one thousand enemies.

It cannot be used easily unless it is absolutely necessary.

Min Tingke continued, "Zeng Mingwei is not a pig's brain. When he heard what I said, he naturally had to estimate whether it was food or the stability of Guangdong's business community. You must know... Once the Thirteenth Company withdrew, the Min family must take action in Shanghai. At that time, Guan Boyuan will also be out of control. For Zeng Shaoquan, the two most important places, Zeng Mingwei cannot bear this responsibility. He has to agree to this matter, and if he doesn't agree, I have to agree. I have to predict that he has no other way, so I dare to straighten his back and confront him."

Chang Andao, "No wonder you are full of confidence and not worried at all."

Min Tingke said, "What's there to worry about? At worst, just don't do business in Guangdong. There are naturally losses, but it's not without benefits. The Min family has to wait for a few years, which invisibly gives others time to catch up. Fortunately, Zeng Mingwei is still smart and immediately agreed to return the food. However, this matter ultimately refuted his face. With his vengeful personality, he will definitely make up for it in the future. I have already thought about it, and I will take out 30% of the food and give it to him generously, so I can give it to him a favor."

Chang Andao, “Is this… useful?”

Min Tingke said, "Zeng Mingwei has a big appetite. Of course it is useless for him, but I am not doing it for him to show it. I am doing it for others in Guangdong's business world. Since Zeng Mingwei can occupy the Min family's food and can also occupy other people's later, I have done everything I can. If Zeng Mingwei still bites the Min family, the rest of the family will have to consider whether he has the strength of the Min family when it is his turn in the future. Once the business world is shocked, even if Zeng Mingwei holds heavy troops, it will be useless. Can he still massacre the people?"

Chang An nodded clearly, "Sixth Master is such a clever move!"

Min Tingke said, "Zeng Mingwei is a reckless man. Since he can't afford to offend, the best way is to coax him and give him some benefits appropriately. Always tear his face off. But if he is shameless, he thinks that the Min family is weak and can ask for it. I don't mind going to play two tricks with him in person and teaching others about the world. Although the gun is more useful than the mouth, he still has no money after all."

Chang An said, "What about there are foreigners? If Zeng Mingwei really dares to force him too hard and wants to touch the interests of the Min family, the foreigners will not agree."

After all, foreigners and the Min family are also in a mutually beneficial relationship, which can affect the whole body.

Min Tingke sneered disdainfully, "Foreigners? Chang'an, you are too naive. You don't think that foreigners are really on the same path as us. They will jump out to support and protect you without hesitation when things happen, right? As the saying goes, none of our race, their hearts will be different. Foreigners are not afraid of big troubles when watching the excitement. They want to take the opportunity to get benefits from it. Now that the Min family can give them benefits, they will be brothers and brothers to me, but when the Min family has no value to use, they must be the ones who turn against each other. It is better to take advantage of this time to make the Min family stronger, so powerful that others cannot shake. Even if the foreigners do things, they must think about it before they act. That is the easiest and direct way."

Chang An lowered his head and began to think.

Min Tingke said, "Forget it, you can think about it slowly. As the saying goes, it is better to rely on yourself than to rely on the sky and the earth. You have to understand this principle. Foreigners can be reliable, and sows can climb trees."

Chang An finally understood. Although Min Tingke has been close to foreigners over the years, he just thought he was a snake and used each other.

He still thought things too simple.

Chang An said ashamedly, "Sixth Master, I will definitely keep my eyes open in the future and will not trust others like this again."

Min Tingke smiled, silently saying no more.

At dawn, the convoy entered the town. Chang'an was busy buying clothes for Zhou Laosi and his group. The place was not too big and there were not many finished clothes. Almost all the town had been traveling around, but the clothes were still not enough, and most of them did not fit. Chang'an instructed the accompanying people to take out the clothes they didn't wear, and barely asked Zhou Laosi and his group to change their clothes and let them go for the time being.

The town could not entertain so many people, so Min Tingke ordered Chang An to divide the people into several waves and arrange them in different inns.

Everyone rushed all night and was so tired that they went to bed. After a simple wash, they went to rest. Only a few people were left to keep watch and feed the horses on duty.

In the afternoon, Min Tingke got up and had a meal. He asked someone to call Zhou Laoliu over.

Zhou Laoliu didn't sleep very honestly. On the one hand, he was excited and worried. After a while, he was reluctant to take a nap, and then his brothers were called over to discuss countermeasures together.

Hearing that Min Tingke had invited him, he hurried over.

Min Tingke was drinking tea under the shaded shed.

Zhou Laoliu sat down carelessly.

Min Tingke glanced at him gently.

Chang An, who was standing beside him, whispered, "If the head of the family didn't let you sit, you can't sit."

Zhou Laoliu hurriedly stood up, "I'm sorry... I'm a rough man, used to being free, and suddenly became someone's subordinate, and I was a little uncomfortable for a moment."
