Chapter Ninety-Nine: Fame and Fortune
It seems that the radio signal is not good, the noise is very loud, and in the noise of peeling away, you can faintly hear the intermittent and coherent words, but no matter how hard you listen to them, you can't hear what is being said.
I can only know that there is a voice that keeps talking.
Moreover, there is also a feeling that these words are very important to me, and I must do everything possible to hear them clearly.
Subconsciously, he poked his head into the hole.
Not to mention, it really has some effect.
The murmur is quieter, and the sound is clearer.
It's just that I still can't hear the content clearly.
If you want to stretch in as much as you want, you can hear it clearly.
Wei Chaoyang was about to probe in further, when a sharp sharp pain suddenly occurred in the back of his neck.
The pain brought him to his senses, and he realized that his head had been poked into the hole.
There are more and more things crawling around in the corner of his eye.
It was densely surging, and it made people's hair tingle.
Definitely a nightmare for people with dense phobia.
The stench of blood around his nose became deeper and stronger, and his stomach was turned upside down.
Wei Chaoyang immediately retracted his head.
But I felt a burst of suction coming from the hole.
This suction is not directed at the body, but at a certain part of the body.
Pull hard, to pull that part out, into the hole.
The head can't be retracted at all, and it feels like that part of the body will be ripped out if you push hard!
There was another sharp pain in the back of the neck.
The mind is fully awake, but the suction is not weak but strong.
At the bottom of the dark and blurry cave, something vaguely floated and bulged, and as the suction increased, it quickly floated up.
Closer, closer!
See clearly.
That's a face!
With thick eyebrows and big eyes, he looks like a positive character, quite handsome and quite familiar.
You can see it in the mirror every day!
Wei Chaoyang's own face!
It's just that there is a strange and eerie expression on his face that he has never seen before, and there is a faint green light.
A pair of inky black eyes stared at Wei Chaoyang, revealing a greedy light.
There is saliva flowing from the corners of the distorted mouth!
It's simply the embodiment of the standard stereotype of the crazy villain in all stories.
Wei Chaoyang's heart moved, and he immediately put on his work suit.
The suction is gone.
The face showed a panicked expression, and hurriedly sank back.
All the cacophony was gone, and the staccato sound became clear.
"Everything, the heavens, deviations, xenomorphs, shattering ......"
Fragmentary words, staccato and not sentences at all.
Everything crawling in the corner of the eye was silent.
This time I saw it clearly.
Those turned out to be small uneven pits and protrusions in the walls of the cave.
What moved, not small pits and protrusions, but suspicious black fragments hanging from them.
Wei Chaoyang immediately retracted his head.
The pain in the back of the neck was terrible.
I also heard Xiaobai's voice, "Wake up, wake up, don't go in!" ”
When I turned my head to look, I saw Xiaobai stretching out his mouth and pecking down again, so he quickly pinched it, "Okay, I'm sober." ”
Xiao Bai shook his head, got rid of his claws, and said, "You just wanted to get into the hole, you know?" ”
"I heard a voice." Wei Chaoyang explained, "I can hear more clearly when I go in. ”
As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone, lit the flashlight function, and took a picture of the hole.
The hole is more than two meters deep, and you can see it clearly when you take a photo.
There was no face under the cave, only a thick layer of black silt.
There were still a few bones of Bai Sensen in the mud, half of which were half submerged, and they looked extremely terrifying.
Xiaobai became nervous, "What about now?" Can you still hear that voice? Do you still want to get into it? ”
Wei Chaoyang looked at Xiaobai and asked, "Who was the last one to get in?" ”
Xiaobai sighed and replied, "It's Huo Shen!" Back then, the three of them dug out this altar, and they were originally studying it together, but that night, Huo Shen touched it by himself and opened the middle of the altar, just like you just now, after looking at it twice, he got in. And then, never came out again! ”
Wei Chaoyang was stunned, "What do you mean?" If he didn't come out, who would be the person who studied with Teng Senior and Du Ping later? ”
"yes, who is that person?" Xiaobai said, "That person came back from outside the next morning, said that he went to the market, and brought steamed buns back to Lao Teng and Du Ping, I remember clearly, said that it was mutton filling, and Haicheng was still occupied by devils at that time, and the Chinese people were not allowed to eat rice and white noodles, and that thing would definitely not be bought from the street." Lao Teng ate it deliciously at that time, but Du Ping only took a bite and stopped eating, saying that he had no appetite......
Wei Chaoyang asked again: "What happened later?" What happened? ”
Xiao Bai slowly recalled the situation at that time, "Nothing happened, and then the three of them studied it normally, and there was nothing abnormal about that person."
Also, all the research results were first proposed by that person, and then slowly explored and improved. By the way, he also mentioned the gambling fight.
Lao Teng originally disagreed, but Du Ping agreed, two to one, and he couldn't come up with a better way, so he could only agree.
Originally, Du Ping and Huo Shen's level was not as good as Lao Teng's, but in that gambling fight, Du Ping suddenly used a bloody refining method that he had never seen before, and secretly stimulated a miners' riot for this purpose, and as a result, Dongying devils slaughtered thousands of people. Lao Teng was seriously injured for this. The man was also not lightly injured. I took the opportunity to persuade Lao Teng to leave here quickly, and stay away from that person and Du Ping.
At that time, Du Ping chose to be the ancestor of the Qi family, the foreman of the mine, who died of an accident when he was just refined, his fortune was extremely strong, which led to the tragic death of the ancestors of the Qi family, and later Du Ping supported the Qi family on this ground. ”
Wei Chaoyang touched his chin and pondered for a while, and guessed: "The one who pretended to be Huo Shen couldn't be that guy from Cloud Island." If I knew there was such a thing, I shouldn't have let him go. The first thing that gave me instructions on how to use the altar must have had bad intentions. ”
Originally, he secretly hacked his stubborn black tiger, and he was a little reluctant to go, but now that he looks at it, it is still light, and he should have planted bad luck for him at that time, and he should have been pitted well.
Since Huo Shen entered the cave and never came out, does that mean that the resurrected dead man who came out yesterday is Huo Shen?
According to the man of Yundao, what kind of leak-free genus is the resurrection of the dead, and it is not easy to refine, that is to say, Huo Shen was pitted into refining materials back then, and Du Ping, who has been guarding the altar all these years, no matter what he has done, is actually refining this leak-free genus for people.
However, after Huo Shen's life palace was alienated, he was able to run around, and he could also return to the resurrection of the leakless genus, which is not easy to explain. And there is still a file of unlucky dead people in it, and I don't know if it is the step of refining this leakless genus, or a by-product.
The more I think about it, the more complicated it becomes, and the more I think about it, the more people feel that there are many conspiracies behind it and it is unfathomable.
What's more, the concept of the genus of no leakage did not trigger passive search here in Wei Chaoyang, nor was it mentioned in the reaper's work knowledge.
This made Wei Chaoyang, who once felt that there was no one who knew more about luck than himself, was quite surprised.
It's not omniscient!
Wei Chaoyang thought for a while, but he couldn't think clearly, so he asked someone to come over and help and set up equipment to hang the altar.
When I hung it up, I saw a round lid the size of a human head in the center of the bottom of the altar, which opened with a light press and fell out of the bamboo slips.
Xiaobai recognized it at a glance, "This is the bamboo book!" ”
Wei Chaoyang is a little familiar with this bamboo book, he must have seen it recently, and he is particularly impressed.
When I think about it, I remember.
Isn't this the bamboo slip placed in the treasure of the Sanguan Cave in Zhendu?
Because I couldn't understand it, after being complained about by myself, it became a black book, and the content became a workbook.
Wei Chaoyang opened the bamboo slips, and sure enough, they were all the kind of heavenly books that he couldn't read.
But next to each word, there are dense annotations, guessing the meaning of each word, as well as the overall meaning after forming the sentence.
Wei Chaoyang watched two paragraphs, and he was not interested.
These annotations are all in the form of literary sentences, what "life is fundamental", "moving mountains and reclamation to collect the leakage of the three officials", "the air of Peiran is popular and miscellaneous", the clouds and mountains are covered with fog, the preface does not match the afterword, and it is very mysterious.
If he hadn't read the official translation, Wei Chaoyang would definitely have been able to hold the secret book of this cultivation in his hand.
Wei Chaoyang shook the bamboo slip and asked, "When they studied this altar, weren't they all in the Republic of China?" Why don't you use vernacular Chinese, but also classical Chinese? ”
Xiaobai said: "They were translated against the refining classics. Some of the characters on this bamboo slip are mentioned in the classics. Those classics have been handed down from ancient times, and they are all written in Chinese. ”
Wei Chaoyang didn't say anything more, put away the bamboo slips, and told the staff of the committee not to touch the altar casually, and then took Xiaobai out of the warehouse and went to the committee headquarters building.
Fu Tong had already arranged for someone to wait at the front desk on the first floor, and when he saw Wei Chaoyang, he quickly led him upstairs and went directly to see Ming Jianzhang.
Ming Jianzhang didn't talk nonsense, and said to Wei Chaoyang bluntly: "Last night, the Qi family's personnel in the Asian region and the Haicheng Committee have all completed control, and the next step is to further investigate and knock the corresponding evidence to death, this is only a matter of time." This time I invited you to come about the matter after the disposal of the Qi family. ”
After speaking, he took out a thick stack of documents and put them in front of Wei Chaoyang.
"The Qi family has been operating in Haicheng for more than 100 years, the relationship is intertwined, and a huge amount of wealth has been accumulated, and it has great influence in the entire Northeast Asia region. This is the details of the property directly and indirectly controlled by the Qi family that I arranged for someone to sort out, you can take a look at it first. ”
Wei Chaoyang flipped through it hastily, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened by the scale of the Qi family's wealth.
In addition to owning 17 percent of OSI's shares, it has investments in a bunch of large and small lucky companies, many of which have been actually controlled through various means. Moreover, he has a marriage relationship with the three fortune hunter families in Haicheng, and has mastered most of the fortune hunter power in the Haicheng area.
Coupled with the personnel layout of the Qi family in the Asian region and Haicheng and other regional committees, such internal and external collusion, it is not an exaggeration to say that the emperor of Haicheng is not an exaggeration.
On the surface, the committee has the final say on the luck affairs of Shanghai City, but in fact, it is all under the secret manipulation of the Qi family.
It's no wonder that the big man who wants to move the king-level human movement needs to find the Qi family to cooperate, and it's no wonder that even a giant like the Ming family wants to marry the Qi family, it's really strength here, and it has to be like this.
In addition to the layout in the field of luck, Qijia also has a large amount of investment in various industries, a closer look, Haicheng leading enterprises in all walks of life, all have Qijia shares, many of which are major shareholders with important right to speak. For example, the Fengjia Deyuan Group, the fifth largest independent shareholder is the Qi family.
In the entire Haicheng, clothing, food, housing and transportation, the influence of the Qi family does not exist everywhere.
Such a family of spiritual masters, through all its own blessings of good luck to improve the accuracy of investment, but also by the owners of various enterprises and their family members in exchange for covert control of the enterprise group.
And now, all these intricate investments have been figured out.
It took less than a day.
If you want to say that this is a temporary investigation, then you really don't believe it.
Obviously, the Haicheng Committee has been secretly investigating the situation of the Qi family, but it is just brought out at the right time.
By extension, Haicheng's practice is definitely not an isolated act of the locality, but an act of the committee as a whole, and every regional committee should have the same behavior.
Since its establishment, the struggle with the powerful family of local spiritual transporters has always been the main contradiction faced by the development and growth of the committee.
Although the committee chose to compromise and cooperate with local forces in order to develop rapidly, it has never given up the idea of secretly attacking local powerful families.
No wonder Ming Jianzhang would say that the Qi family did not handle it well, which would cause uneasiness in other places.
Swallowing the Qi family too simply and rudely will inevitably hurt the powerful families in the major places, and it will definitely undermine the overall situation of the current cooperation between the committee and local forces.
After reading this material, Wei Chaoyang probably guessed what Ming Jianzhang meant by looking for himself, and said quietly: "This Qi family is really a freak, if I had known that this family is so powerful, I wouldn't dare to provoke others." ”
Strictly speaking, the Qi family was quite unjustly defeated.
Such a big force has not had time to exert itself at all.
was first killed by Wei Chaoyang unreasonably to collect the land luck, and then Qi Zhengyong killed several leading figures of the Qi family for selfishness, which made the Qi family immediately become a plate of loose sand.
Qi Zhengwei's brothers originally wanted to establish their prestige by cleaning up Wei Chaoyang and collecting the authority of the Qi family, but people are not as good as heaven, Qi Zhengguang rebelled, and saw that Zhang was backstabbed, and under the fast fight, the Qi family had no time to integrate their own forces to fight back, and they were already served on the table and ready to eat.
Of course, how to swallow the Qi family is also a matter of skill.
The hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen.
The Qi family was only temporarily dispersed, but the strength still exists, and it is very easy for someone to unite the Qi family and fight to break the net.
When Ming Jianzhang heard Wei Chaoyang say this, he knew that he understood what he meant, and couldn't help but secretly praise it, and said, "Consultant Wei, are you particularly optimistic?" ”
Wei Chaoyang asked rhetorically: "Does Minister Ming have any suggestions?" ”
Ming Jianzhang said with a smile: "Consultant Wei, you still have to continue your studies, and you have to manage the luck company, I think it is not appropriate to bother to manage these directly, I picked a few for you, make a list, you can see if you are satisfied." These add up to a total of 1.3 billion, accounting for about 10% of all the assets of the Qi family. Don't be too little, it's just that my ability is limited, and I can't tell more. ”
Such a big piece of fat meat really needs to be eaten, and all aspects must be taken care of. It must be assigned before the official start, and calling Wei Chaoyang to choose first is enough to show Ming Jianzhang's sincerity.
Wei Chaoyang looked at the list and said, "I believe that the one that Minister Ming helped me choose must be the most suitable, so I will come according to your arrangement." I just have a small request, I see that Qijia also has investments in Deyuan Group and Jiajia Commerce, these two I want, can be replaced from the list you draw up. ”
Ming Jianzhang was originally most worried about Wei Chaoyang's youth and vigor, as a key figure in defeating the Qi family, he had been targeted by the Qi family before, and he could only get ten percent of the fruits of victory when he distributed them, so he would be unhappy because of this, but now seeing Wei Chaoyang so upright, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said: "No problem, I'll arrange this." There's one more thing I have to tell you first. The influence of the Qi family is too great, so in a short period of time, we will not completely dismantle the Qi family, but choose to support Qi Zhengguang to seize the authority of the Qi family, ensure the integrity of the Qi family, and then slowly disassemble and digest it, and the whole process may take about five years. ”
This is to prevent too much impact on other local forces, after all, Haicheng's incident is in a uproar because of Wei Chaoyang's live broadcast, and it is known to the whole world, and all local forces are watching it, if you start too quickly and ruthlessly, from the overall situation, the gains outweigh the losses.
Wei Chaoyang nodded slightly, did not speak, and waited for Ming Jianzhang to continue.
He is now mortal enemies with the Qi family, and if the Qi family does not die for a day, he can't really rest assured in Haicheng.
Since Ming Jianzhang has arranged it this way, there must be a separate compensation in this regard.
Sure enough, Ming Mizhang continued, "But we will do two things at once. One is to remove all Qi family members and related personnel other than Qi Zhengguang from the committee, and no one is allowed to enter the committee to serve again. The second is to prohibit Qijia from reinvesting in any luck service companies and hunting organizations, and participating in any luck management projects. In addition, OSI's Haicheng branch needs a custodian, and I think your new company is more suitable. ”
Wei Chaoyang smiled slightly and said, "Okay, in this case, it will be much easier." ”
Ming Jianzhang said again: "Don't let Xintong participate in this matter for the time being, and wait until the end of the year to do relevant operations." ”
Wei Chaoyang's company will have the Ming family to occupy shares in the future, and Ming Jianzhang's arrangement is also to benefit his own family, but he will have to compete for the highest twelve people in the second half of the year, and he must pay attention to his appearance, and no one can catch the handle in this matter.
Xiaobai squatted on Wei Chaoyang's shoulder, silent the whole time, maintaining a normal owl state, and when Wei Chaoyang came out of Ming Jianzhang's office, he couldn't help but complain, "You humans have not changed much for thousands of years. ”
Wei Chaoyang patted it and said: "The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit, my guy will be rich and free, and he can lie down and enjoy life from now on, you follow me and Yan Yan, that is also a blessing from now on, no longer have to follow Teng's predecessors to go around and suffer hardship." ”
Xiaobai said: "I am a wild owl, not a domestic pet, my life is destined to be a blue sky and mountains, flying freely and freely......"
Wei Chaoyang said with a smile: "You have to tell Yan Yan about this, what you want to follow is her, not me." ”
Xiaobai, "......"
When the receptionist arranged by Fu Tong saw Wei Chaoyang coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked him to go to Fu Tong again.
When he arrived at Fu Tong's office, Fu Tong was on the phone, and when he saw Wei Chaoyang arriving, he hurriedly hung up and came up to apologize first, "I was supposed to go to see you, but there are too many things at hand here, and I can't leave at all." It is quite a project to completely remove the Qi family's forces from the committee. ”
While explaining, he invited Wei Chaoyang to sit down, and when the receptionist exited in a witty way, Fu Tong said, "I invited you to come to tell me what happened last night." ”
Speaking of this, he glanced out the window before continuing: "The reason why I wanted to capture the resurrected corpse alive last night was because of Minister Ming's instructions. What he meant was that this thing had a lot of research value, and he hoped that we would be able to capture it alive and send it to the laboratory that would always be set up in the Demon Capital for further study, including the altar. ”
Wei Chaoyang frowned and said, "Your committee still studies this thing?" Isn't it just about luck? ”
Fu Channel: "The committee has set up luck research laboratories in major cities around the world, and has been doing various in-depth researches, hoping to understand the whole process of luck from generation to growth, as well as the principle of luck at work. Every year, he invests a lot in research alone, although it is not open to the public, but I have a friend in the magic capital laboratory, who once revealed to me that his laboratory invests about 500 million yuan a year! ”
Wei Chaoyang said: "There are some evil sects on that altar, you should be more careful." ”
Fu Daodao: "With last night's incident, Minister Ming didn't dare to mention transporting the altar to the Demon Capital, but I see what he meant, and he still hasn't given up on the plan to conduct research, and will probably transfer researchers from the Demon Capital to do on-site research." If that thing is really dangerous, Advisor Wei, you'd better come forward and persuade him, I really can't persuade him. ”
Wei Chaoyang didn't squeak, pondering the possible pros and cons of studying the altar, and said for a while: "If you want to study, I want to participate, and if there is a problem, it can be solved in time." By the way, did you send someone to investigate the big hole under the Qi family? ”
Fu Daodao: "Our side has limited research strength, so we are making a report to the Asian Regional Committee and asking them to send experts to help." However, the Asian regional committee will not stop in the next two days, and it is estimated that it will not be approved for a while and a half. ”
The three brothers of the Qi family are all powerful figures in the Asian Regional Committee, and since they have been moved, it is inevitable that the cronies of the three of them will be purged next, and in this process, it is already very good to maintain normal operation, and there will be no leisure to deal with superfluous things at all.
Fu Tong said again: "I have a few requests here, and I want to invite you to dinner." ”
Wei Chaoyang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Yo, someone else wants to invite me to dinner?" Who is going to invite me? ”
"The representative of the Li family of the Southern Dynasty and the two standing members of the Seoul Committee, the representatives of the Dongyinghua Shoujia, the Jodo family, and the Kazama family and the three standing committee members of the Edo Committee, and one standing member of the Kotosu Gaojia, Hejia, and Qinzhou Committee. There are also the Xiao family in Longcheng and the Yongjia in Chuncheng......"
Fu Tong took out a small notebook and read a lot of it in one go.
Wei Chaoyang asked: "What kind of immortal is this, what do you want to do when you invite me to dinner?" ”
"These are OSI shareholders. The Lee family of the Southern Dynasty is the largest family of spiritual transporters in the Goryeo Peninsula, and has always served the Goryeo royal family, known as the millennium family, and in the Goryeo Peninsula it is the Tu Emperor, and the Seoul Committee is completely under the control of the Lee family, and the general association has not been able to send anyone over so far.
Hua Shou, Joto, and Kazama are known as the three royal families of the Dongying Fortune Spirit Master Realm, and the Gao family and the He family of Qinzhou are about the same status as the Qi family in Haicheng...... They are all major shareholders of OSI, and each has connections on the Asia Regional Committee and the General Assembly.
This morning, Minister Ming made his first video report to the Standing Committee of the General Association, proposing a penalty for the split of OSI, and these people should have received the news, so they want to come and meet you and find out what you are talking about. ”
Wei Chaoyang smiled and said, "What does this have to do with me, what's the use of probing my tone?" Doesn't it have to be found out in the tone of the chapter? Also, what is OSI's own attitude? Jiang Zhewei, the general manager, hasn't come back yet, isn't there still a chairman? They have to think about it, too. ”
Fu Tong explained: "They are not trying to explore the tone of separation. Since Minister Ming has raised this matter, it is impossible to undo it, and this involves the face and authority of the committee, but the split has already given a lot of face to the local forces in Northeast Asia. It's just that OSI Company offended you, a refiner, and was hijacked by a public live broadcast, and they were worried that you would not be over, so they wanted to come to meet you and find out your attitude on this matter.
If you're willing to just let things go, then they'll accept their own regional branches and start operating independently; If you don't want to leave it at that, they'll wait and see until the dust settles. In order to receive a luck company, it is not worth offending such an alchemist as you.
Since I haven't been in contact with you, it's hard to find you directly, so the standing committee members of the local committees came to me and wanted me to help spread the word. ”
Wei Chaoyang pondered for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll see them." But not in the past few days, I have too many things, starting this weekend, you can help me arrange it and see you separately. I also know the big names in our circle of soul transporters, many friends and many paths. Commissioner Fu, when the time comes, you can also come along, and help me introduce the point. ”
When Fu Tong heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly agreed, thinking that he would also take Guo Jiaxing with him to pave the way for his own master.
Guo Jiaxing is about to retire, and when the time comes, he will inevitably enter Wei Chaoyang's company, as a representative of the interests of his side, which happens to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
After saying this, Wei Chaoyang said again: "Commissioner Fu, when I was with Minister Ming just now, there was a matter that he never mentioned, and I think he may have other thoughts about this matter." ”
