There is a saying in doing business, that is, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests!

Although in recent years, the Nanno Foundation, the four major consortia, and the two major groups have all competed, and they all regard each other as enemies, thorns in their eyes, and they can't wait to get rid of each other immediately. But all seven of them do business with each other.

Business, you can't do it alone, your products need to be bought by others, and you may need to buy other people's products, right?

Therefore, the Nanno Foundation and the four major consortia also have business dealings.

For example, most of Minamino Shuichi's oil, steel and other large-scale resources were sold to the four major consortia. Of course, this refers to domestic sales. Many foreign companies also buy his oil and steel.

For example, Shuichi Minamino also needs rubber from the four major consortia, some mechanical parts, and so on.

Because this is driven by profit and cannot be avoided. Unless Shuichi Minamino doesn't want to make money, but who can't get along with money?

…………

Mitsui Manor, Mitsui Flooding has been very depressed and worried for a while. Because some time ago, a deacon elder who came out of the family took a few samurai to hunt down Shuichi Minamino. But so far there is no news. He thought that the deacon elder should be hanging.

Since the other party can even kill the deacons and elders on his side, this proves that the forces behind Nanno Shuichi's side are definitely not simple, at least they can compete with the people above their family, otherwise the other party will not easily let the deacons and elders on his side not come back.

Since the other party dared to kill the deacons and elders on his side, it was obviously not afraid of them, and he was not afraid of their retaliation.

"The situation is critical now, the calm before the storm. "As the latest consortium at the helm, Mitsui Flooding's hair has turned a lot gray.

He knew that Shuichi Minamino did not use force to threaten him, and it was estimated that the other party disdained to treat him like this. If the other party is really like that, it is estimated that he will finish the game.

"I don't know when the boss will send someone down?"

"Someone!" Mitsui Fanshui shouted outside, and immediately a man in black walked in.

"Patriarch, what's the matter?" the man in black asked respectfully.

"You arranged for someone to inform the boss before, what is the current situation? When will the above send someone over? Our current situation is precarious. Mitsui said in a deep voice.

"I've already conveyed the message through the secret arts, but now a month has passed, and there is no reply. ”

"Well, go down. ”

"Yes. ”

When this subordinate left, Mitsui Flooding leaned back in his chair a little weakly and sighed to himself: "The people above don't know what the hell they cultivate, they think about retreat every day! Is there really immortality in this world?"

He still scoffed at the thing of immortality.

If there really is immortality, then is the earth still decent?

If there really is immortality, human beings still need to develop satellites to explore the universe?

At the same time, the leaders of the other three major consortia are as anxious as Mitsui Panshui. Because their deacons and elders also have no news, it is estimated that they are all more auspicious!

Mitsubishi Foundation.

"If the Minamino Foundation suddenly attacks us, then it will be over. We don't have the power to resist in terms of force. If the other party carries out an assassination, we will all finish it. Mitsubishi's face was very gloomy.

…………

An island nation, an unknown mountain top. In the center of a magic circle, there is a piece of ancient architecture. This place is full of birds and flowers, the environment is quiet, and the vitality is relatively strong.

Anyway, it is several times richer than the outside world does not know.

If you cultivate here, your speed should be a few points faster.

This is actually the base camp of the real descendants of the Mitsui family!

There are currently 1,093 people here.

Among them, there was one patriarch, ten elders, 30 deacons and elders, and a total of 491 samurai. As for the rest of the people, they are all unable to cultivate, and some are because they can't get started with cultivation.

After all, the path of cultivation is like going against the sky, and not everyone is a person favored by God.

Among them, the patriarch and the ten elders are in retreat all year round, usually for as long as 10 years at a time, as short as 5 years, and even some elders are in retreat for 20 or 30 years at a time. Their retreat is not a lack of food or drink. Instead, they retreated in the secret room, not asking about the world, as long as it was not a matter of extermination, they would not go out, and they would concentrate on studying the way of cultivation. Usually eating and drinking are brought outside the secret room.

Like the ten elders, the youngest one is in his 200s, and the oldest one, like the patriarch, is estimated to be over 300 years old!

Of course, reaching the age of 300 is almost the end of life, and if there is no breakthrough, it is estimated that you will not live for many years. Therefore, these ten elders and patriarchs are desperately in retreat, in order to live a few more years.

As for the 30 deacons and elders, they are also in regular retreat, usually for three or five years!

Usually these deacons and elders are in their 100s.

At this moment, Shutian Mitsui and Ichiro Mitsui called a few core members for a meeting.

"What should I do now? Ten Elders, all the deacon elders are in retreat, and now the news from the peripheral members of the family says that the strength behind that Nanno Shuichi is amazing, and even Deacon Elder Mitsui Heiteng is more auspicious at present! It seems that the strength of the other party is not worse than our Mitsui. If it weren't for the deacons and elders, no, without the help of the Ten Elders, I'm afraid this matter wouldn't be so easy to solve. Now even if we go down, it is estimated that it will be useless, after all, even Deacon Mitsui Heiteng and Elder ......," Mitsui Ichiro said in a deep voice.

These are all samurai, although they usually deal with some things within the clan. But now the situation outside is no longer something they can handle.

In the past two or three years, they have already had more than 20 people confessed outside, including a deacon elder!

That's a big deal!

"Even so, but the ten elders and those deacons and elders are in retreat, and we can't disturb them, the elders have all said that if it is not for the extermination of the clan, if it is not for the enemy to attack the gate of our holy land, we are not allowed to disturb their retreat!" Mitsui Shutian sighed and said.

"Alas~ Then we can only wait? Watching the members of the peripheral family being bullied by each other? If the peripheral members are all finished, we will lack funds and a lot of cultivation resources. After all, a lot of cultivation resources need to be raised for us by those members on the periphery. ”

"Then what do you say? Even if we go out, we will die!" Mitsui Shutian said speechlessly.

"What are you little dolls discussing?"

Suddenly, an incomparably powerful but imposing voice of the elder appeared in their ears.
