As for Wang Chengye's face-to-face questioning, Chen Ping's face did not change, but he smiled faintly, but before he could speak, He Shaojun, who was standing beside Chen Ping, had already arched his hand slightly, smiled and said: "What Old Man Wang said is a little wrong, although Pingyu Group has not yet entered the ranks of the hidden family, but strictly speaking, our He Group has gradually withdrawn from the stage of the hidden family. ”

"Strictly speaking, after the completion of the reform, our He Group no longer belongs to the ranks of the hidden family, but it still relies on the shadow of the past to be able to talk with the representatives of the hidden family present, so on this occasion today, although the vast majority of the invited are representatives of the hidden family, but in fact, this is not to divide the circle between the hidden family and the ordinary group enterprises, but our He Group, or our He family in the magic city, wants to get a relationship with these old friends in the past, but it makes Mr. Wang laugh。 ”

Wang Chengye nodded lightly, and the smile on his face looked extremely kind, but among the words of these people, although it was only a few short rounds, everyone could also see that although Old Man Wang was not young and was close to his prime, the sharp momentum on his body had not diminished at all, and it was by no means something that their descendants could underestimate.

Since He Shaojun, the host, has already stood up to support Chen Ping, Wang Chengye naturally will not continue to deal with these two young people, which will make him seem to be old and disrespectful.

However, at this moment, Wang Yuanming, who was standing behind Wang Chengye, suddenly smiled and said: "Since today is a cocktail party hosted by the He Group, I have some questions I want to ask Chairman He in person. ”

He Shaojun chuckled and nodded, turned his head to look at Wang Yuanming, as if waiting for him to ask.

Wang Yuanming pondered slightly for a moment, a gloomy smile flashed in his eyes, and then he said with a soft smile: " Since the He family in the magic city is no longer one of the hidden families, then 30 years ago, the agreement that hundreds of large and small hidden families in the magic city once agreed on together can be done in the body of the He group?

Hearing Wang Yuanming's words, many people present immediately gasped, their faces changed slightly, and then they began to look at each other.

And after hearing Wang Yuanming's words, whether it was He Shaojun or Chen Ping, the eyes of the two of them flickered slightly.

Regarding the agreement 30 years ago that Wang Yuanming said, the two of them still know it in their hearts.

After all, He Shaojun is already the head of the He family, although he has not been the head of the He family for too long, but He Shaojun's father and others are fully supportive of He Shaojun's appointment as the head of the He family, so there are some secrets about hiding the family, and He Xiuxian and others also know everything about He Shaojun.

As for Chen Ping, when he got the simple information about the various forces in the Demon City in Li Qian's hands, he already knew some of the contents of the agreement negotiated by the hidden family 30 years ago.

In fact, the content of the agreement is also very simple, but it sets some norms for the circle of hidden families, the business involved between each hidden family is all-encompassing, and the direction of development of each hidden family is different, if they are allowed to compete with each other, I am afraid that the circle of the hidden family in the entire magic city has already become a mess, and it is even likely to affect the order of the entire market.

This is not a situation that any hidden family wants to see.

After all, for these hidden families, the most important thing is not the benefits that can be seen in a short period of time, but the stability pursued in the long-term development process.

Only when the situation is stabilized can these hidden families protect their own interests and seek higher development.

So 30 years ago, in the scope of the magic city, hundreds of hidden families, large and small, sat together, and some of the norms that the hidden family circle needed to abide by were also brought to the fore.

Although there are no written rules, this is also a rule that the major hidden families in the Demon City have always followed.

The complexity involved in this is so complex that it cannot be explained in one or two sentences.

However, Chen Ping knows very well what the real purpose of Wang Yuanming is why he talked about this matter.

The reason is actually very simple, in the scope of the agreement jointly negotiated by the hidden family, there are norms about the industrial direction involved in the major hidden families, and it does not mean that every hidden family can develop its own business scope unscrupulously.

To put it simply, take the He Group as an example, before that, the He Group, as the He family in the magic city, was also one of the hidden families, and the industrial directions involved were as high as a dozen, although it seemed extremely complicated, but in fact they all had a general direction.

In fact, these industries are still related to each other to a certain extent.

And if the He family wants to develop for a long time, it needs to abide by the unwritten rules in the hidden family circle.

These regulations are still generally fair to any hidden family.

It's just that in the process of competing with each other among the various hidden families, some means and directions of competition are limited.

Each hidden family can choose the direction of its own development, but in the process of development, once it competes head-on with other hidden families, then the means and methods that can be used need to follow certain rules.

Otherwise, if you unscrupulously use the various hole cards owned by the hidden family, I am afraid that the entire circle of the hidden family has already become a pot of porridge.

However, such an unwritten rule is only limited to the circle of hidden families.

In the face of those ordinary group enterprises, or some small families that have not stepped into the ranks of hidden families, these hidden families can completely ignore these unwritten rules and use all kinds of strange means to suppress or even annex each other.

Such examples have been common in the past 30 years.

And the reason why Wang Yuanming would ask such a question is really reprehensible.

Once He Shaojun admits that the current He Group no longer belongs to the ranks of hidden families, it means that there are hundreds of hidden families large and small in the entire Demon City, and any hidden family can use all kinds of means to suppress and even annex the entire He Group.

Although the current He Group seems to have sunset, and the assets of the entire He Group have shrunk by more than half, if the entire He Group can be swallowed in one bite, it will be a big piece of fat for any hidden family.

Even if it is a high-ranking existence like the Wang family of the Demon City, in the face of such a temptation of interests, it is impossible to give up easily.

In any case, these hidden families can survive so far, the necessary greed and means are indispensable, and the overall assets of the current Demon City Wang family are as high as trillions, while the overall assets of the He Group are only a few hundred billion, and the difference between the two seems to be very large.

The entire He Group is not even as good as 1/10 of the Wang family in the Demon City.

But even so, once the entire He Group can be completely swallowed up, the power of the Demon City Wang family will also be enhanced to a certain extent, although it will not become a fat man in one bite, but any hidden family can continue to improve its own way, which is created by the industry rules of big fish eating small fish and small fish eating shrimp.

Similarly, hundreds of hidden families in the Demon City actually have such ambitions, but now the situation has not yet been completely clear, although the vast majority of hidden families are much stronger than the He Group, but it is not so easy to directly annex the entire He Group.

Therefore, everyone was still on the sidelines before this, waiting for the power of the He Group to be continuously weakened, and after being weakened to a certain extent, these hidden families would be like a group of wild wolves fighting separately, invariably pounce on them and tear the entire He Group to pieces.

However, the Demon City Wang family is different, and other hidden families still have some scruples in their hearts, but the power of the Demon City Wang family itself has far exceeded that of the He Group by more than ten times, and in this case, the Demon City Wang Family naturally seems a little unscrupulous in the process of facing the He Group.

That's why Wang Yuanming raised this question so unabashedly.

And in the face of this problem, the hearts of both Chen Ping and He Shaojun were slightly tight.

It can be said that Wang Yuanming's question cannot be answered head-on no matter what, even Chen Ping does not dare to admit to his face that the He Group does not belong to the ranks of the hidden family.

Because once this happens, what the He Group will face in the future will be the joint action of hundreds of large and small hidden families.

This force is by no means something that anyone can easily face.

Even Chen Ping does not have such confidence.

But today happened to be a cocktail party hosted by the He Group, and in the face of Wang Yuanming asking such a question, as the host of the cocktail party, He Shaojun couldn't help but answer.

Therefore, just this simple question made the atmosphere in the entire reception hall instantly freeze.

However, just when the situation was deadlocked, a clear voice suddenly echoed in the hall of the reception.

"The Demon City Wang family is indeed a big family, this is someone else's territory, as a guest, he would ask such an impolite question, it really makes me doubt the character of the Demon City Wang family. ”

Such unkind words suddenly made Wang Yuanming's face gloomy in an instant, and even Wang Chengye beside Wang Yuanming, his eyes flashed slightly.

However, neither of them spoke immediately, because although the voice just now looked ordinary, anyone could hear it, and it seemed to appear out of thin air, and no one could tell the direction of the source of the sound, and almost everyone could only hear the voice suddenly appear in their ears.

Such a mysterious scene, just like the legendary transmission of thousands of miles, suddenly made many people present slightly stunned.
