Volume II: Chapter 62: White Harbor
Xiao Chen stood in the hall of the Xiao family, and the hall was full of retainers, and they all whispered one after another.
Song He stood beside Xiao Chen, Song He was left to Xiao Chen by Huo Muyun before leaving, and he was Huo Muyun's uncle, Huo Muyun said that he was helping Xiao Chen. "Young Master Xiao, the most important thing for you now is to appease these retainers and make them support your rule and obey your management. Song He said in a low voice.
"Seniors, please be quiet. Xiao Chen said, in fact, he really didn't know what to do, and in the knowledge he had learned, there was nothing that told him how to manage a family and how to be a good family head.
"Why are you the head of the family!" suddenly one of the Xiao clan's retainers shouted. "You are just an illegitimate child, and you killed your father and brother by the hands of Ouyang Yin Zheng, why are you in charge of the Xiao family!"
"Yes, yes. Several Xiao retainers echoed.
"Do you have a better choice?" Song He said loudly, "Xiao Gongzi is the son of Mr. Xiao, with yin and yang pupils and double different bones, it can be said that he is the strongest existence of the Xiao family, do you want to be happy to be exterminated by the Ouyang clan or the Lin clan?"
"There's no place for you to speak here, you're just a foreigner. A retainer said.
"Everyone, everyone, let the old man interject. At this time, an old man stood up on the seat, the old man was short in stature, but his beard was white, and he looked seventy or eighty years old, and suddenly, the retainers of the Xiao family were quiet.
"This is the oldest ram Moqu in the family, the head of the ram clan under the Xiao clan. Song He said in a low voice.
"The old man thinks that the Lin family and the Ouyang family can be described as Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows that they clearly want to weaken our Xiao family and enhance their own strength, and now our Xiao family cannot be divided. Although the old man was short in stature, his voice was like a bell, "We must unite now, as Mr. Song said, Xiao Gongzi is young, has strong abilities, has yin and yang pupils and double different bones, I believe that he will definitely be able to bring us back together." ”
Suddenly, all the retainers were silent, and they all seemed to be thinking.
"We must get through this together now, what are we hesitating about?" the ram Moqu shouted, and as he spoke, he knelt on the ground tremblingly, "See the head of the family." ”
Soon, several retainers knelt on the ground, and the few retainers who had not obeyed at first also knelt on the ground.
The meeting was over, and the ram Moqu came to Xiao Chen with a cane.
"Thank you, sir, for your trust. Xiao Chen saluted slightly.
"The head of the house is too polite. Ram Moqu said with a smile, "The head of the family is both civil and military, I can't help but think of Xiao Yun, the ancestor of the Xiao family, Xiao Yun followed Bai Ju, after Bai Ji killed himself in Yuntian, Xiao Yun came to Qingguo and established a family, Xiao Yun also has yin and yang pupils, at that time, the Ouyang clan and the Lin clan were only the head of the Xiao clan, and now there is no need to go in the past, but every time I see you, the head of the family, I am full of hope." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Ram, for the compliment. Xiao Chen replied.
"Whatever Mr. Ram wants, please say directly. Song He interrupted Xiao Chen's words and said.
"Mr. Song, what are these words, the head of the family and I are wholeheartedly for the family. Ram Moqu smiled slightly.
"You and I understand these things in the family, why do you bother. Song He said with a smile.
"When the head of the family first comes, there are some things that you may not understand, let the old man tell you about them. Ram Moqu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Our Xiao family is the money made by doing port business, starting from the family, there are a total of ten major ports in Qingguo, our Xiao family occupies four, the remaining four countries occupy, and the other two are international ports, that is to say, half of our Xiao family's economic resources come from the port, and now the Xiao family is weak, a large part of the reason is that the port business is not as good as Lin's herb medicine and Ouyang's heavy industry, so we want to improve the strength of the Xiao family, the first thing to do is to improve the strength of the port." ”
"What does Mr. Ram mean?" Xiao Chen asked.
"The old man thinks that among the four major ports, the most serious decline in business capacity is Baigang, should we replace the person in charge of Baigang to improve the strength of Baigang?" Ram Moqu narrowed his eyes slightly.
"White Harbor is a family property, and the responsible persons are all elected by the White Harbor Association, how can it be said that it will be replaced. Xiao Chen said in a low voice.
"It depends on what the head of the house means. Ram Moqu frowned slightly, "My son graduated from Qingguo Licheng University with a major in port management, and he is very suitable for this position. ”
"Mr. Ram waits, I have something to say to Xiao Gongzi. Song He hurriedly pulled Xiao Chen aside.
"Childe, Song He thinks he can promise the ram Moqu. Song He said.
"White Harbor is a family property, how can you change the person in charge at will. Xiao Chen said coldly.
"The Ram family has a long history and is quite prestigious in the Xiao family, if Gongzi can get their support, he will definitely be able to gain a foothold in the Xiao family. Song He said.
"But if everyone asks me, how do I manage the family. Xiao Chen said coldly.
"That way, even if all the retainers are not loyal to you, they will die for you because they can satisfy their interests. Song He shouted, he grabbed Xiao Chen's hand earnestly, "Please think twice." ”
"No, I can't. Xiao Chen said, "We must do things according to the genealogy, you go and tell the ram Moqu, no." With that, Xiao Chen turned around and left.
Ram Moqu frowned as he watched Xiao Chen's departure.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ram, Childe, he's just used to following house rules. Song He walked up to the ram Moqu and said with a smile.
"In that case, please tell Childe, since he is like this, then I have nothing to say. Ram Moqu tapped his cane hard.
