The development of events was somewhat beyond Lin Dong's expectations, but he was quite satisfied with the results. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The fight between Hua Wuyue and Liang Mushan, according to Lin Dong's thoughts, should not be too eye-catching, but it turned out to be a sensation in the entire Lingnan City in just one day. Its influence is far higher than Lin Dong thinks, and at most it has only attracted the attention of major families.
The reason is that apart from the Liang family, no one knows that Liang Mushan has successfully become the second family child to break through to the mental stage before the age of thirty after Hua Wuyue in the past ten years.
The two leaders of the new generation of the major families in Lingnan City made an appointment, and when Liang Mushan was close to breaking through and it only took about half a month to cultivate normally, the Liang family naturally would not let go of this opportunity. After using the elixir to help Liang Mushan break through the fourfold Dao Mind Stage in advance, and then take out the spiritual artifact elixir collected by the family to enhance his strength, the Liang family, who was confident that they had more than eighty percent of the chance of winning, began to spread the news continuously, and as a result, in just one day, this competition, which was originally a battle between the young generation, became a well-known battle in the streets about which family had the most outstanding heir.
The address of this competition is the martial arts arena in the south of the city, although the time is in a hurry, but the number of spectators is still as high as tens of thousands, almost the entire martial arts arena is crowded with airtight.
As a result, Hua Wuyue's strength was slightly better. The Hua family saw that this competition had already involved the family's reputation, and it was one of the credits to give him all the spiritual weapons that Hua Wuyue could use, and more importantly, it was undoubtedly the ninth-order spiritual skill that Lin Dong had given Hua Wuyue in advance.
Afterwards, it didn't end there. In order to put a little pressure on the Hua family, coupled with the fact that Hong Wanfu and other major gambling house owners used their connections to try to ask the family power to help, with the acquiescence of the major families, the young disciples of the family participated one after another.
Under the counterattack of the Hua family with a tough attitude, the fight continued, seeing that it had already been angry, and was about to involve the elders of the family, plus the Hua family had already released rumors, if the major families dared to join forces to attack the Hua family, the Hua family would self-destruct the family to have spiritual weapons and spiritual skills, and select a family to fight to the death at any cost.
Seeing that the situation would be out of control and unprofitable, the major families had to stop and make peace. The consequences of the entire covenant fight, on the 60th birthday of the head of the Ma family, officially restored the old situation of the major families competing in secret, but living in peace on the surface.
It can be said that in addition to having to delay the promotion of sports stars and gambling games and making a bit of a big fuss, the result of the gambling game did not deviate from Lin Dong's expected best result.
On the evening before the publicity of Lin Kee Gymnasium, the box on the fourth floor of Lin Kee Inn ushered in three well-known figures in Lingnan City.
The large round table in the box of Lin Kee Inn has a total of twelve chairs, two of which sit on the east side and one on the west side. Anyone who looks at it will also see that the three of them are divided into two sides.
In the box, there is a bit of a taste of enemies meeting each other, although it is not to the extent of a big fight, but the words are sharp, and the atmosphere is extremely weird. Outside the box, Lin Dong sat leisurely, his mind open, listening to the-for-tat conversation inside.
The three of them are not small. Juntai Yang Yankang, Tianlai Gambling Workshop Owner Chen Yantian, Hongfu Gambling Workshop Owner Hong Wanfu.
These three have been sitting in the box for more than an hour.
Lin Dong didn't go in, not because he was learning from Chen Yantian to put up a fight, but because he couldn't make up his mind.
The Hua family did not hesitate to be the enemy of all families for the sake of Lin Ji Gymnasium, and the major gambling houses, how could they still have the courage to fight against Lin Kee Gymnasium. The three of them came this time, no doubt, to make peace for the sake of gambling.
Originally, this was a great thing for Lin Dong. gave Hua Wuyue six ten thousand red fruits, a ninth-order sword technique, although these things even if there is no gambling competition, Lin Dong will not be indispensable to Hua Wuyue sooner or later, but after all, it can be given later. gave it in advance, once it couldn't persuade Hua Wuyue to join the Lin Ji Inn, it was tantamount to giving it in vain.
In addition, a lot of cultivation time was wasted before and after, and Lin Ji Gymnasium did not have the threat of gambling, but earned back the capital. The remuneration given by the major gambling houses is considered a profit.
In the past two days, the major gambling houses have basically come to seventy-seven eighty-eight, with as little as 120,000 silver and as much as 450,000 taels of silver. When people came, Lin Dong asked Ma Chun to be in charge of the reception. Lin Dong is not short of silver, and he asked Ma Chun to send all the silver tickets sent by the major gambling houses to the Hua family. Although the Hua family is not short of silver, it can be regarded as the reward for the Hua family on the surface.
What Lin Dong really likes is the sum fee given by the two gambling giants, Hongfu Gambling House and Tianlai Gambling House.
Hongfu Gambling House, among the chips that can be given, what Lin Dong wants most is that Hong Wanfu can give priority to transferring the chef and signature dishes to Lin Ji Inn after Hongfu Gambling House can't support it. At that time, the strength of Lin Kee Inn will be greatly improved.
Of course, Lin Dong believes that even if Hong Wanfu is asked to transfer the chef and signature dishes of Hongfu Restaurant to Lin Ji Inn now, Hong Wanfu should not refuse. But doing so will directly cause Lin Ji Inn to face Fenglin Restaurant in advance, although Lin Dong is confident that he can defeat Fenglin Restaurant, but it is obviously a bit tricky. Becoming the only giant in the restaurant industry in Lingnan City in advance does not mean that it can occupy half of the restaurant industry in Lingnan County in advance, nor does it mean that it can cultivate and test enough shopkeeper candidates in advance. It didn't help at all with the time to march into the capital.
Moreover, it is not conducive to Lin Kee Inn to accumulate enough competitive experience to be able to face opponents at the level of Fenglin Restaurant Main Building. Now, it is Fenglin Restaurant and Lin Kee Inn who have teamed up to deal with Hongfu Restaurant, and Lin Kee Inn can continue to explore and find ways to make Lin Kee Inn get the most benefits. In the future, you will be more comfortable with the same thing.
As for the Tianlai Gambling House, what Lin Dong sees is undoubtedly the relationship between Chen Yantian and Yang Yankang.
Since revealing the relationship between Lin Ji Inn and Fu Tongshan, Ma Chun took this opportunity to make friends with Yang Yankang, and the relationship is not bad, at least, Yang Yankang is willing to write nine letters to the prefects of the other nine prefectures in addition to Qiufeng Mansion, and the content of the letters is very vague to make these prefects turn a blind eye to the forces that unify the whole city. As for the county towns below the prefectures, Lin Ji Inn asked the prefect to put pressure on the county orders below through letters. It is already commendable to be able to reach this level, after all, many of the prefects of these nine prefectures are not from the same party as Yang Yankang, and there are even two princes who have been sent down. This letter, if it is clung to, even if it cannot be used as evidence of Yang Yankang's party and personal interests, it can be regarded as a stain.
But Lin Dong felt that it was not enough, and some prefects would not necessarily buy Yang Yankang's account. Out of ten, it's normal to have two or three out. If Yang Yankang can exert some deterrent suppression when the other party doesn't buy it, and send some more benefits to the members of the escort team in the past, with a big stick and candy, things will be much easier.
The benefits given by Hongfu Gambling House can enhance the strength of Lin Ji Inn. The benefits given by the gambling house can make the development of the escort team smoother. No matter which side it is, Lin Dong attaches great importance to it.
However, it's hard to have both fish and bear's paws. Lin Dong believes that Hong Wanfu and Chen Yantian came to Lin Ji Inn to make peace this time, and letting the Hua family let go of their gambling house is the biggest reason, and it should also have a big purpose, that is, to let the Hua family suppress the other party's gambling house and directly collapse the other party's gambling house.
Especially Hong Wanfu, Hongfu Gambling House has been firmly at a disadvantage under the suppression of Tianlai Gambling House, and the situation is not much better than Hongfu Restaurant. If you can let the Hua family let go of the Hongfu Gambling House, and in turn let the Hua family force the Tianlai Gambling House to collapse, it is equivalent to turning the tide and turning defeat into victory.
It can be said that the Hua family is basically the only savior that Hong Wanfu will not be defeated. Hong Wanfu will undoubtedly seize this opportunity at any cost and at his expense.
This means that both families almost don't want to see the Hua family and let each other go. This is especially true of Hong Wanfu. However, whether it is Hongfu Gambling House or Tianlai Gambling House, Lin Dong does not want to refuse the benefits given.
Since they were in a dead end, Lin Dongsuo asked them to get together, argue for a few hours, and then decide when to go in and what kind of trade-offs to make.
Listening to the conversation between the three of them, it felt that it was almost to the point of a big fight, Lin Dong stood up and pushed the door in.
In the box, the three of them were red-faced. The spirit beast spirit materials on the table were constantly changing, and the heat bubbling up and the fragrance that overflowed the entire room were still the same, but no one had ever touched the chopsticks.
"Shopkeeper Lin!"
Seeing that it was not the guy who changed the dishes but Lin Dong, including Yang Yankang, who stood up.
At first, Yang Yankang was still a little annoyed when he learned that Lin Dong was not at the Lin Ji Inn because of something. It's evening, who's going to go out? It is a deliberate posturing, and the likely surname is extremely high. As a parent official of a county, Yang Yankang is also a feudal official, and he was treated like this by a businessman under his jurisdiction, so he didn't throw his sleeves and leave on the spot, and immediately found a reason to send a servant to seal the Lin Ji Inn after he went back.
But after listening to the dispute between Hong Wanfu and Chen Yantian too much, Yang Yankang's anger slowly subsided. Especially in the second half of the hour, after being sarcastically ridiculed by Hong Wanfu, he also personally went into battle to confront Hong Wanfu, and his original dissatisfaction with Lin Dong disappeared.
At this moment, Yang Yankang has already figured out how much energy the Hua family behind Lin Dong has, and his position in front of Tianlai Gambling House and Hongfu Gambling House. Now, all he thinks about is making Hong Wanfu ruined and bankrupt.
Hong Wanfu was defeated, and on the surface, Chen Yantian made a lot of money, but only a few people knew that Yang Yankang's interests were also not small.
Yang Yankang can deign to stand up to greet him, Hong Wanfu and Chen Yantian, the two gambling giants who have already offended Lin Dong, and the gambling giants who have killed the power in this life and have been indulged in by Lin Dong in their hands, naturally they will not put up any shelves, one by one, the smiles on their faces are as enthusiastic and bright as Xia Yue.
"Lord Juntai, Boss Hong, Boss Chen, I've kept you waiting for a long time." Lin Dong kept arching his hand and said apologetically: "Things were in a hurry, I just explained to my buddy and went out." If I knew you were coming, even if the sky fell, I would never leave the inn even half a step. ”
"Where, where!"
The three of them had different expressions, and the reason was only because of the order in which Lin Dong greeted.
