Chapter 275: Stalling for Time

The old man let out a long sigh, his eyes full of unwillingness, but the matter had come to this point, and there seemed to be no other way to solve the current situation.

After all, now Fang Chunfeng, the city lord of Cloud City, has agreed to cooperate with them, which more or less makes the old man in front of him have a little luck in his heart.

As the city lord of the entire Cloud City, he is in charge of everything in the clouds, no matter what, his identity is also here, and he should not be allowed to talk at this time.

However, the great elder of the Sun family really overestimated Fang Chunfeng in his heart, because Fang Chunfeng was a person who would do whatever it took to achieve his own goals, so let alone lying, even if he pulled out a big lie, he would still be able to do it without changing his face and heartbeat.

For Fang Chunfeng, there is no so-called identity and reputation in his eyes, etc., and these burdens are only eternal in his eyes.

If you can satisfy your own interests in a short period of time, then sacrificing the trust of a few people who have met in Pingshui and the recognition of yourself in their hearts is harmless in itself, after all, people are not lacking in this world.

"Now for the present, there is only so much, but what I never expected is that this matter will actually become the current result, at the beginning, I even thought that we could directly sign the relevant agreement tonight, and then let our Sun family directly take over the jade mine in Cloud City, but from the current situation, it seems that I am thinking a little too much. ”

The old man smiled bitterly, and there was a hint of self-deprecation in his tone, but his words were in Fang Chunfeng's ears, but in Fang Chunfeng's heart, another plan was suddenly born.

"Old man, in fact, everyone is a smart person, I just want to ask you, your Sun family is willing to spend such a large price to buy the jade mine in our Cloud City this time, why is this? No matter what you do, there must be a reason, right?"

Facing the question from Fang Chunfeng, the great elder of the Sun family had obviously realized his purpose, and it seemed that he was gradually surfacing, whether to tell the other party his true purpose or not, this had also become the most scrupling thing in the heart of the old man in front of him.

"Haha, old man, in fact, even if you don't say it, in fact, I have already guessed some in my heart, after all, before you came to Cloud City, I had discussed with Chu Fengping and Wang Yunshi for a period of time, so I still know a little about this matter, so I want to discuss with you, old man, about the price you can pay for this jade mine once it is Professor Zheng......"

Fang Chunfeng was completely fooling people now, because from beginning to end, he didn't know why so many people were now eyeing the jade mines in their Cloud City.

Moreover, the Yang family, one of the four major families in Mengcheng, is itself engaged in the jade business, and several large jade mines near Mengcheng have always been in the hands of the Yang family.

In fact, in terms of doing business, the four major families in Mengcheng have always been well water and do not violate river water, and each family is in charge of their own domain, but the Sun family actually did the opposite this time, and went directly to Yuncheng to obtain the ownership of the jade mine from Yuncheng, and it can be seen from this matter that if it were not driven by huge interests, they would not dare to take such a big risk at this time.

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, so this risky behavior of the Sun family, in Fang Chunfeng's eyes, not only could not represent other things, but could also represent the importance of this jade mine in all their plans.

Now that he knew the value of the existence of this jade mine itself, Fang Chunfeng should naturally make good use of the chips in his hand to win greater benefits for himself.

After hesitating for a while, the old man in front of him finally sighed softly and pointed in the direction outside the city.

"City Lord, in fact, you don't know anything about this matter, the two people who appeared in front of you just now are actually from the Yang family, one of the four major families in Mengcheng, the main reason why they want to come over this time and take the jade mine from your hands is that they want to completely control the luxury goods trade in the entire Mengcheng. ”

As the great elder of the Sun family, the old man's heart in front of him also changed very quickly, he just casually said a few words, and he had already outlined the background of the whole thing, although these backgrounds themselves were fictional, but this was indeed a little attractive to Fang Chunfeng.

"Presumably, the city lord's heart should have some understanding of our four major families in Mengcheng and the scope of the four major families, each of our four major families is in charge of a fixed area, and the luxury industry is actually in charge of another family among our four major families, he is in charge of the trade of antiques and jade, and this family due to its geographical location, and our Sun family usually deal with each other.

Now that the Yang family has crossed the line, this is already a knife that wants to break the balance between the four major families of our Mengcheng, in order to be able to calm this matter in the shortest possible time, so I, the old man, have to go out in person at this time. ”

Although the Great Elder of the Sun Family analyzed the logic of everything very clearly at this time, and even made people feel that it was difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, but in Fang Chunfeng's ears, Fang Chunfeng still believed that what he had heard, half doubted and half doubted.

He wasn't a fool, and it was impossible for this old fellow to tell all the truth in front of such a confidential matter.

Therefore, he can't believe or fully believe what he said now, it is very likely that there is indeed a trend of no balance between the four major families in Mengcheng, but this does not mean that this matter is really as the old guy in front of him said.

Perhaps it was not the Yang family that was the first to break this balance, but not necessarily their Sun family.

After all, every family has their own ambitions in their hearts, and they want to expand outward to strengthen their strength and annex other families, so breaking the balance is a step they must take!
