Chapter Eighty-Four: The Grievances of the Two Families
The fifth master smiled and hugged his fists: "Thank you brothers and friends for appreciating the light." ”
"Today's invitation to you is an old Old Testament. ”
The fifth master spoke very simply, and he pointed to a log tea table that looked very quaint.
"Twenty years ago, it was on this same tea table. ”
"The eldest brother of Fang Shou personally guaranteed and facilitated the 20-year contract between the He family and the Xiao family. ”
And now that 20 years have passed, the agreed period between Xiao and He has arrived. ”
"Thanks to the big brother Fang, I specially invite the two families to come here again to eat and talk about tea!"
In just a few words, the fifth master instantly explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly.
Zheng Keke added softly.
Lu Yu also understood the predicament faced by the Ho Group.
It turned out to be twenty years ago.
The Xiao family in Bincheng and the He family jointly run a tea business.
As is the case with many partnerships.
The Xiao family and the He family finally broke up in constant small frictions.
There is even a tendency to go hand in hand.
Because both of them had a good relationship with the "Fang Shou" of Bincheng Hongmen at that time.
That's why the "head of the square" of Bincheng Hongmen came forward and asked the two families to eat tea and mediate.
The so-called "square head" is not a name.
Rather, it is the title of the leader of the Hongmen as a region.
Just as the people in charge of external affairs in Hongmen are called "Red Flag Old Five".
Under the mediation and guarantee of the "head of the party".
The Ho family retains the company's tea business.
In addition to receiving a certain amount of financial compensation, the Xiao family also received several other properties.
Because the tea business in Ben Cheng is booming.
If it is distributed in this way, the Xiao family is of course the losing party.
In the end, both parties agreed.
Twenty years later, the Xiao family and the He family once again ate tea under the witness of Hongmen.
Tea solves the problem!
Because this matter involves Hongmen.
Therefore, both sides must have tea people who are not lower than the national level 2 to come forward.
If you can't invite a tea person, you can't come to eat tea!
This is also the reason why He Ning has to invite a second-level tea man no matter what!
And the main point of eating tea this time is the old thing from 20 years ago.
And the tea business in Ben Thanh!
……
It wasn't until this that Lu Yu finally understood.
Why would such a large enterprise as Ho Group suddenly face an irreversible crisis!
You know, Hongmen is not just hanging the name of "guarantor"!
Responsibilities of the guarantor.
That is, when one party breaches the contract, it replaces or compels the defaulting party to execute!
No matter how big the Ho Group is.
It's just a strong side of Bencheng!
And Hongmen is the world's largest Jianghu organization!
The gap between the two.
The gap between the He Group and Wu Changshan's nouveau riche is hundreds of times larger!
He Ning's words can make Wu Changshan bow his head and admit his mistake.
Hongmen is also capable of making the He Group disappear!
In addition, the original chairman of the Ho Group.
He Ning's father, He Yaoguo.
He suffered a sudden stroke last year and has not recovered since.
As a result, the Ho Group cut off contact with Hongmen.
In this case.
The Ho Group is undoubtedly at an extreme disadvantage.
……
Only until now.
Lu Yu didn't know how the He family and the Xiao family ate tea.
And Zheng Keke only heard Zheng Xi mention it.
Again, the details are not clear.
But one thing is for sure.
Since it is to eat and talk about tea, the first thing must be "talk".
Speak your way.
Speak out about your struggles.
This time, Hongmen invited so many non-Hongmen brothers and guests to come here.
It is also a "reason"!
And who takes advantage of this reason.
It can also win the opportunity to resolve disputes later.
Today, these brothers and friends in the teahouse are not invited to come and see the excitement.
Hongmen has always been fair, upright, and reasonable.
These people here are the ones who judge "reason"!
……
The fifth master saw that everyone had already understood the ins and outs of the matter.
Then he said in a deep voice: "Please invite the people of the He and Xiao families to sit down and taste tea!"
The voice fell.
Footsteps were heard again upstairs.
He Ning and Qi Lao.
and Xiao Chen and Chen Juncheng.
The four of them walked down the stairs one after another and greeted everyone present.
Because he sat relatively backward, Lu Yu did not attract attention.
It's just that he raised his eyebrows slightly, the Xiao family actually sent Xiao Chen?
Why didn't the chairman of the Shaw Group come?
Zheng Keke also smiled lightly and said in a low voice: "The Xiao family is very cunning......
Cunning?
Lu Yu pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but be surprised!
He Ning's father, He Yaoguo, and Xiao Chen's father are the same generation.
In the case that He Yaoguo was unable to participate in the tea lecture because of a stroke.
If the parents of the Xiao family came in person, wouldn't they be bullying the small?
Whether in the market or in the rivers and lakes, bystanders often sympathize with the weak.
Then the Xiao family is very likely to be constrained from the beginning!
And sending Xiao Chen to come, there is no such concern.
Xiao Chen and He Ning are peers, even if they are sharp, they will not be talked about anything.
From this point of view, the Xiao family is indeed very cunning.
……
At this moment, the fifth master has invited both parties to take a seat.
The fifth master looked left and right.
said with a smile: "Master Qi and Master Chen came at the same time, which really makes Maoyuan Teahouse shine!"
"I'm a rough person, so I won't say much polite words. ”
"I wonder which of the two of you will tell you first?"
Seeing that the fifth master had already spoken.
The entire teahouse suddenly fell silent.
Chen Juncheng and Qi Lao glanced at each other.
Qi Lao smiled and made a gesture of please.
Chen Juncheng picked the corners of his mouth and turned his head to look at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen understood, stood up and said, "Since the He family doesn't want to talk first, then I will be disrespectful!"
The fifth master nodded.
Xiao Chen stepped forward and saluted everyone with his fists.
"Brothers and friends, seniors!"
"My name is Xiao Chen, and today I will represent the Xiao family and tell the whole story of this matter......"
I have to say that Xiao Chen's eloquence is very good.
He made it very clear what happened to the two families 20 years ago.
At the same time, it is repeatedly emphasized.
At the beginning, although the Xiao family received financial compensation and some other properties.
But it is far less profitable than the tea business.
If it weren't for the Xiao family's survival in adversity, they gritted their teeth and persevered.
The Shaw Group has long since disappeared in Ben Thanh!
Although now the Shaw Group has gained a firm foothold in Bencheng.
But this is the result of the Xiao family's twenty years of hardship!
But the He family is different!
The He family took advantage of the huge profits from the tea business and easily made huge fortunes.
They are also two families who are struggling together, why is there such a big gap between the two sides!
This is unfair to the Xiao family!
It took more than 20 minutes.
Xiao Chen is either impassioned or subdued.
Listening to everyone present, even the fifth master couldn't stop nodding.
On the other hand, He Ning's face became more and more ugly.
Her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her teeth bit her lips white.
She obviously didn't expect Xiao Chen's words to be so sharp and so moving!
All this was seen by Lu Yu.
Seeing Xiao Chen's story, almost everyone agreed.
He couldn't help but say secretly in his heart.
If this development continues, He Ning is afraid that he will lose before he speaks!
