The headquarters of the Raging Whales.

Inside the study.

Lan Zhenhai looked at the mess of account books piled up on the table, and only felt that his hair was about to turn white.

Since the last time the large number of goods brought back by Shi Sandao was robbed by the 'ghost spider', the Angry Whale Gang's finances, which were already on the verge of collapse, were like the last straw, which instantly triggered a chain reaction.

In addition, due to the spread of the cold disaster, a large number of refugees from the north suddenly poured into the entire Southeast Province in the past year, which directly led to a sharp rise in food prices in the Southeast Province.

And now among the low-level disciples of the Angry Whale Gang, there are at least hundreds of people whose monthly money has been in arrears for several months.

Originally, although the situation in the gang was poor, it could barely be maintained.

However, just a few days ago, I don't know who spread a rumor in the gang, saying: "A large number of goods in the gang have been robbed by ghost spiders, and all the disciples' salaries and silver will be in it next month, and the Angry Whale Gang will not be able to pay the monthly money soon."

To know.

Even if it was the last crusade against the 'ghost spider', Lan Zhenhai used other reasons. The news that Shi Sandao's batch of goods was robbed, Lan Zhenhai has always ordered all high-level officials to seal their mouths and not leak them.

Now, however, it has all been wasted.

In the rivers and lakes, not everyone wants to be chivalrous and righteous. The reason why the low-level disciples of many gangs joined the gang was just to seek shelter and have something to eat.

But now that the Angry Whale Gang can't give them food, how can the hearts of the low-level disciples be stabilized.

According to the report of the Blue Whale Hall.

In just the last three days, there have been at least hundreds of low-level disciples below who have left the gang.

Let's be honest.

If it's just a few hundred low-level disciples who have left the Raging Whale Gang, it really won't be a bad thing for the current Raging Whale Gang.

After all, although the Angry Whale Gang claims to have five thousand disciples, at least half of them can only be regarded as a burden, and the real core members of the entire Angry Whale Gang may not even add up to five hundred.

But the problem is that the departure of these hundreds of disciples is not important in itself, what is really terrifying is the meaning behind these people's departure from the gang.

"Father!"

Just when Lan Zhenhai was full of sadness, he saw a slender figure walk in from outside the door.

Seeing his daughter, the sadness on Lan Zhenhai's face also dissipated a lot, and he squeezed out a smile slightly, and said, "It's Ruoshui!" It's been hard for you to sit in the headquarters during this time. ”

Lan Ruoshui shook her head lightly and said, "Sharing worries for her father, this is what a daughter should do." ”

Looking at the eldest daughter in front of him, the smile on Lan Zhenhai's face deepened. But then he couldn't help but feel a little regretful, in fact, with his eldest daughter's martial arts talent, he was a very qualified heir of the Angry Whale Gang.

It's a pity that she gave birth to a daughter.

Although there is no precedent for women to be in charge of the rivers and lakes today, ····· All the characters who can use the body of a woman to coerce one side are all heroines who have reached the top in strength, strategy, and wisdom.

And although his eldest daughter has some martial arts talent, she can only barely be qualified in other aspects, and she is still a cut away from being excellent.

Dacang can be regarded as the most open era in all dynasties, allowing many ladies to show their heads outside, and even has a special women's imperial examination.

But in the rivers and lakes, the most important thing is strength, and in this regard, women always have some inherent disadvantages.

Shook his head.

Dispelling the thoughts in his mind, Lan Zhenhai smiled at Lan Ruoshui again: "If Shui came to find his father this time, is there something important?" ”

It seemed that he had seen through Lan Zhenhai's thoughts, Lan Ruoshui's eyes showed a hint of gloom, but it was fleeting, and he regained his composure and said: "There is indeed one thing I want to discuss with my father, and this is how it is······"

Lan Ruoshui briefly said that Baili Xing wanted to cooperate with the Angry Whale Gang.

As a result, as soon as the words fell, he saw a scorching greed suddenly flashing in Lan Zhenhai's eyes, and asked anxiously: "Wait, you just said that that kid has an amazingly valuable 'Glass Jade Buddha' in his hand?" ”

Lan Zhenhai had already heard about the existence of Baili Xing from Shi Sandao's mouth, but he had never cared about a small 'refugee'.

Second, there are too many things happening in the Angry Whale Gang during this time, and Lan Zhenhai doesn't care about a little minion who doesn't even have martial arts.

As for the materials in the other party's hands, although Lan Zhenhai had also heard that Baili Xing had some strange things in his hands. But Lan Zhenhai, who has fought a lot with various overseas and remote small countries, really doesn't think that a businessman in distress from a small overseas country can come up with anything good.

So for the materials in Bailixing's hands, Lan Zhenhai never thought much about it.

But as a result, he never expected that now Lan Ruoshui actually told himself that the other party had a one-and-a-half-foot-high "Glazed Jade Buddha" in his hand, such a treasure, if he could find a suitable buyer, he could sell tens of thousands of taels of silver, not to mention it.

And so it goes.

The current crisis of the Angry Whale Gang can be resolved immediately, and even in the next month or two, there is no need to worry about the financial problems in the gang.

"Dad is planning to 'go back to the old ways'?"

From Lan Zhenhai's overly obvious expression, Lan Ruoshui obviously saw his inner thoughts, so he asked.

"Not bad!"

Lan Zhenhai nodded, he obviously didn't mean to hide it from his daughter.

But after finishing speaking, the Lan Zhenhai Ghost asked a question, "What, don't you agree?" ”

Lan Ruoshui shook her head and replied, "It's not that my daughter disagrees, it's just that ······ Did my father ever think that even if we snatched this 'glazed jade Buddha' now, what about the future? ”

Lan Ruoshui's question can be called a soul blow, and Lan Zhenhai was silenced on the spot.

As Lan Zhenhai's daughter, coupled with the fact that she has been sitting at the headquarters all this time, it is naturally impossible for Lan Ruoshui to be completely ignorant of the situation of the Angry Whale Gang.

As she said, what the Angry Whales are lacking now is not a quick sum of money, but a source of income that can provide long-term and stable income for the Angry Whales.

Even if Lan Zhenhai wants to say hard, as long as he can survive these two months, he can always find a solution.

However, the reality has long since given him more than a big mouth.

It can be said that since the establishment of the Angry Whale Gang, the financial losses in the Angry Whale Gang have not been broken, but in the past, when the times were good, the losses were slightly less, so they can still persevere.

But since the cold disaster came, the situation within the entire Angry Whale Gang has been completely deteriorating day by day.

"So, you mean ······"

"Agree to cooperate!"

When Lan Zhenhai heard this, he immediately looked at his eldest daughter in surprise and said, "How do I feel that you seem to trust that kid very much?" ”

Lan Ruoshui paused for a moment, and then his expression remained unchanged: "It's not trust, it's just that from the current point of view, he at least has no ill will towards us." ”
