The ancestor worship activity was quickly completed, everyone returned to the hall, Ouyang Wu as the current patriarch, no matter whether others were convinced or not, they were still the first to sit, the three brothers of the Ji family stood behind Ouyang Wu with an indifferent face, and the remaining elders were seated on both sides, Zeng Yi and Ouyang Muzhi stood behind an elder, and Ouyang Muzhi's twelve sword Ji also stood behind several elders!

The annual family meeting of the Ouyang family, in Zeng Yi's view, is actually the shareholders' meeting of the Ouyang family group company, Ouyang Wu is the current chairman and CEO, those elders are the branch experience of the Ouyang family group company, Ouyang Muzhi is an heir who was stolen by the second uncle and wants to regain the chairman.

After listening to the reports of these elders, Zeng Yi knew that the Ouyang family was not strong, but the branches were very wide, and there were branches in the southeast, northwest, and northwest of the empire, and there were really a lot of personnel, each branch had hundreds of people, and the personnel of the entire family were estimated to be thousands. If there are a few super-first-class masters in the Ouyang family, such a force can definitely enter the first-class force of martial arts!

After the business report was completed, everyone discussed the development plan for the coming year, of course, the elders of Ouyang Wu who were talking about the excitement, and the elders who remained neutral were not so enthusiastic, and only someone said that they only opened their mouths to say a few words, as for Ouyang Muzhi's people, they were all silent!

After discussing for a while, Ouyang Wu stroked his beard and said: "The opinions of all the elders are good, but the family's business has entered a bottleneck, and it is difficult to make a breakthrough in the traditional business, and all other businesses are also controlled by those first-class forces, if we want to develop, we can only find new business!" ”

As soon as Ouyang Wu's words fell, among his people, an elder stood up and said, "I think the family can start an inn business, and the current circulation of people in the rivers and lakes is so large, this inn business will definitely make money!" "After saying this, I still look complacent!

Listening to this guy's words, the third child quietly patted Zeng Yi in the back, and whispered: "Hey, this guy is ready to rob your Jinyiwei business, aren't you going to do something?" ”

Zeng Yi sneered and replied in a low voice: "Hmph, I look forward to him opening the inn soon, if their Ouyang family dares to open it, I admire them!" "Now who doesn't know that the inn makes money, but there are so many forces, but none of them dare to carry out it on a large scale, if they open one or two on a small scale, Jinyiwei will not say anything, but if someone dares to open a chain inn and grab business with Jinyiwei Yamen, Jinyiwei Yamen has a thousand ways to kill them! Yuelai Inn is the intelligence collection point of Jinyiwei, and it is also a major source of income for Jinyiwei.

After the elder finished speaking, everyone was stunned, and after a while, Ouyang Wucai coughed twice and said, "The inn is an industry controlled by the imperial court, although it makes money, but we can't do it!" ”

After listening to Ouyang Wu's words, the elder knew that he had directly said a stupid opinion, and hurriedly sat down, and everyone was silent for a moment, and then Ouyang Wu continued: "I have a suggestion, at present, maritime trade is developing rapidly, we can enter the maritime trade!" ”

As soon as they heard Ouyang Wu's words, a group of elders hurriedly echoed and said yes, but some of them disagreed, and immediately someone stood up and objected: "Our family has never conducted a maritime trade business, so it is a little inappropriate to enter this industry rashly, right?" "Many of the coastal branches of the Ouyang family are in charge of Ouyang Wu's people, if the family's focus is on maritime trade, they will be a disadvantage to Ouyang Muzhi, Ouyang Wuming is good at taking care of the people who support him, Ouyang Muzhi's people will naturally not agree!

Ouyang Wu looked at the opposing elders, smiled slightly, and said: "Who am I, it turns out to be Elder Ouyang Zhen of the Central Plains, the elders are in the Central Plains, and they have the heart to oppose it, it is better to think about how to develop the business of the Central Plains, the business of the Southwest Branch has been declining for several years!" ”

Ouyang Zhen was speechless, there are many big factions in the Central Plains, and he is the core of the empire, he is a small branch of the Ouyang family, he can't carry out too much business at all, and he can stand firm, he is already very outstanding, but now Ouyang Wu is using this to suppress him!

When Ouyang Muzhi saw this situation, he secretly agreed to the elder, but the elder didn't say anything, and sat down angrily! Ouyang Muzhi not only agreed with that elder, but also secretly notified the other elders and asked them not to object, anyway, if this time it succeeded, it was not up to him to decide these things!

Ouyang Muzhi's people were not opposed, and those neutral elders would not object, and soon the plan of the Ouyang family to focus on maritime trade was passed, and then the meeting was noisy and noisy for more than an hour, and the content of the day was almost discussed, Ouyang Wu looked at everyone, clapped his hands and said: "Shengzhi, come out and meet the elders!" ”

As soon as Ouyang Wu's words fell, Ouyang Muzhi's second brother, Ouyang Shengzhi, walked out, looked at everyone and said, "I've seen all the elders!" ”

Ouyang Wu and those people immediately got up and said, "The son of victory is polite!" ”

"The old man is old, and he feels that his energy is not as good as before, for the sake of the stable development of the family, so he decided to add a burden to Shengzhi and determine the patriarch heir as soon as possible."

As soon as Ouyang Wu's words came out, Ouyang Muzhi's eyes glanced at Ouyang Wu sharply, he didn't expect that Ouyang Wu would want to help his son in such a hurry!

Ouyang Wu's words, naturally some people echoed them, and several elders immediately said: "The son of victory, a talent, should be the most suitable heir!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! The son of Katsu has outstanding ability, and he is indeed a qualified heir, and if you personally cultivate it for a few years, you will definitely be able to lead the family to a more brilliant tomorrow! ”

"Yes, if this heir is not the son of victory, the old man will be the first to refuse!" Ouyang Wu's group of doglegs were frantically patting sycophants there to show their loyalty!

With support, there are naturally people who oppose it, and those who oppose it will naturally not be those neutral elders, Ouyang Muzhi's people, someone immediately stood up and said: "The heir should indeed be determined, but since ancient times, the empire has been inherited by the eldest son and eldest grandson, when the young master of Mu Zhi was young, you inherited the position of the patriarch, and now the heir of the next generation is determined, and it is time to return it to the young master of Mu Zhi!" ”
