Chapter Seventy-Six: The Zhang Family in Jiangnan
Jiangnan Zhangjia, many people may feel very unfamiliar with this name. www.biquge.info But those who live in the Jiangnan area know that a famous real estate giant, Zhang's Group, is an enterprise belonging to the Zhang family in Jiangnan. Jiangnan Zhang is also a well-known local philanthropist, and after the Zhang family's 'rise', they have contributed to the local people.
In the eyes of the world, Jiangnan Zhangjia is a local real estate giant and a famous philanthropist. Other than that, there's nothing else to talk about. And the identity of the Zhang family in Jiangnan is still a martial arts family, but few people know. Not only because the Zhang family has always been low-key, but the most important reason is the inadequacy of martial arts, which greatly reduces the strength of the Zhang family. In the martial arts world where strength is respected, a Zhang family, whose strength is only at the middle and lower levels, does not have any high-profile capital at all.
Now the head of the Zhang family is named Zhang Ming. An elderly man dressed in a Tang costume with a white beard and hair, but looking energetic. Zhang Ming is over 70 years old this year, but due to his martial arts practice, Zhang Ming's physical condition and various functions have been maintained at about 30 years old. So don't look at Zhang Ming so old, but in fact, Zhang Ming's body is healthier than anyone else.
Zhang's Group is located in a skyscraper in the center of Suzhou. Every morning, Zhang Ming would get up early, play the Zhang family's dragon elephant gong to dredge the blood, and then go to the company after breakfast. In the Zhang family, there are many voices that let Zhang Ming feel at ease to enjoy his family at home, and he doesn't have to go to the company every day, so hard. But Zhang Ming refused on the grounds that he was bored at home and had nothing to do.
The composition structure of the Zhang family is that one main family, that is, a family headed by Zhang Ming is the orthodoxy of the Zhang family. and three branches, namely Hengshui Zhangjia, Dukou Zhangjia and Tieshan Zhangjia. The heads of these three branches are all independent families established in Hengshui, Dukou, and Tieshan respectively with the consent of the head of the Zhang family. They have their own family system and member structure, and the head of the Zhang family has no direct right to intervene in them.
In fact, between the main family and the three branch families, it is more of a cooperative relationship. The head of the Zhang family provided support to the three branches in all aspects, including the teaching of martial arts. The three branches pay a certain fee to the main family on a regular basis and cooperate with the main family's arrangements when needed.
Although it is a branch, Zhang Ming takes great care of these three families. Among them, especially the Tieshan Zhang family. Several times, the Tieshan Zhang family faced the risk of imminent bankruptcy, and finally turned the corner with the help of Zhang Ming. It's just that in the main family, there are different voices saying that the Tieshan Zhang family has different intentions and is not worth helping, and asked Zhang Ming to withdraw all the investments in the Tieshan Zhang family, and abolish the martial arts foundation of the ten people including the patriarch of the Tieshan branch family. However, Zhang Ming turned a deaf ear and said: Even if it is a branch, but it is the blood of the Zhang family that flows on its body, how can it not be saved when it dies?
It was Zhang Ming's insistence that made everyone speechless.
But there is such a saying in the world, there must be a reason for it. When Zhang Ming was unprepared, he suddenly received news that the Tieshan Zhang family announced to the outside world that on the same day, they would officially break away from the ranks of the Jiangnan Zhang Group. In other words, from the moment the Tieshan Zhang family announced the news, the branch of the Tieshan Zhang family was out of the control of the main family of the Zhang group.
On the bright side, this is just a common family feud. But in the ancient martial arts world, in the past hundred years, the Tieshan Zhang family was the first ancient martial family to announce its separation from the main family. This made the Jiangnan Zhang family a laughing stock in the ancient martial arts world for a while. And after Zhang Ming got the news, he was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot.
Just when the Zhang family's main family was angry and was about to exercise the 'family law' (unilaterally separated from the family branch of the main family, and all those who practiced martial arts would be abolished from the martial arts foundation), Tieshan announced again and officially announced that he would join the Jiangnan Haotian Group.
Haotian Group belongs to the Guwu family surnamed Chen. Different from the low-key of the Zhang family, Haotian Group and Zhang's Group are known as Jiangnan Shuangxiong. Different from the low-key of the Zhang Group, Haotian Group behaves perversely, in order to achieve the goal, and does not compromise the means, and has a very poor reputation in the Jiangnan generation. But otherwise, in terms of financial resources, Haotian Chen Group is stronger than Zhang's Group. In terms of strength, the Chen Group is also secretly an ancient martial arts family. Their relationship with Zhang's has always been the same as that of the Zhang family. However, the Chen family has a complete martial arts technique, which is the biggest obstacle that the Zhang family cannot compete with. It is also the biggest reason why Zhang's Group has been subject to Haotian Group for a long time, so that Zhang Group has not been able to find a breakthrough to become stronger and bigger.
After hearing that the Tieshan branch had joined the Haotian Group, whether it was the Zhang family's head or the other two branches, they were all extremely shocked and incredible. The main family's care for the Iron Mountain branch has always been seen by everyone. But it was in this situation that the Iron Mountain branch would actually do such a thing that people and gods were angry about. If you leave the Zhang family, just leave with the front foot, and the back foot will take refuge with the sworn enemy of the Zhang family, which makes it difficult for many people to accept this change. Because of this, due to the strong intervention of Haotian Group, the Zhang family's 'family law' for the Tieshan branch could not be implemented normally. After all, whether it is in terms of financial resources or strength, the Zhang family and the Chen family are not on the same level at all, so the Zhang family is helpless. And Jiangnan Shuangxiong has become a joke a long time ago.
In the days since the rebellion of the Iron Mountain Branch, the Iron Mountain Branch has officially changed its name to the Haotian Six Family.
On this day, Zhang Ming went to work normally as usual. Now the entire Zhang family, whether it is the main family or the branch, although it looks the same as usual on the surface, those who are interested can find that an unspeakable atmosphere is spreading in the family. The name of the martial arts family sounds very transcendent, but in fact, in the ancient martial arts world, the law of the forest that the weak eat the strong and the strong is respected is more vividly embodied.
No one would want to be attached to an ancient martial arts family with no future, even if they were humiliated, they could only swallow their anger!
The reason why it hasn't happened so far is that I'm just waiting for an opportunity, right? Sitting in the office, overlooking the bustling city center, Zhang Ming sighed deeply.
