Chapter 55: Assumptions More Important Than the Truth
The hypothesis put forward by Wang Luo, or the prophecy he made, succeeded in making the two people under the tree stunned.
Obviously, no one was really ready to welcome Zhang Yu into an enemy.
As the richest man in Stone Street, Zhang Yu has never lacked opportunities to appear when people are chatting after dinner, about him, about his three sons, about everything he has experienced in Shangcheng...... People will always talk about Zhang Yu in a frivolous manner, or intentionally or unintentionally ignore the wealth gap between each other, ignore the difference between the richest man in Stone Street and ordinary people, and regard him as an ordinary uncle next door.
But Zhang Yu is not the uncle next door who can be seen everywhere after all, but a big man who is worth billions, and his business network can cover beyond Zhuwang, and he is at the top among the hundreds of thousands of residents in Stone Street.
If such a person really defects to the enemy, his destructive power is far beyond what people imagine, because people have never imagined that Zhang Yu will surrender to the enemy.
"So although you usually tease him and even secretly attack him personally, you still tacitly assume that he will never leave Stone Street?"
Wang Luo's sharp question made the two young people fall silent at the same time.
"Then, he obviously has a major industry in Uptown, and Stone Street's assets account for less than one-fifth of his total assets, but you insist that his roots are in Stone Street, and of course his achievements are half as good as Stone Street?"
"And then ......"
Shi Yue finally couldn't help it: "Lord Mountain, how does your choice of words and sentences sound weird?" β
Zhao Xiuwen also said: "I always feel that you are metaphorizing something, but there is no evidence. β
Wang Luo shook his head: "It's just to explain the facts in a way that is easier for you young people to understand, so that you can be mentally prepared in advance." β
The so-called fact is: Zhang Yu's surrender to the enemy has been decided, but for the consequences of his defection, Shijie obviously did not expect and did not deal with it.
At this moment, I heard a long sigh from the east wing.
"Little brother Wang Luo, this matter allows me to talk about it."
While speaking, a hunchbacked old man with gray shoulders and a white shirt pushed the door out, and it was Kong Zhang, who was still drinking tea under the tree in the middle of the night.
It turned out that he was old and frail, and Wu Luoqing couldn't lift the spirit of the whole night, so he dozed off in the second half of the night, so he asked Zhao Xiuwen for permission and took a nap in his room. At this time, when he heard Wang Luo's question, he couldn't help but wake up, so he took the initiative to show up to answer.
Kong Zhang said: "Not guarding against Zhang Yu's rebellion, in fact, it is not purely because the people of Shijie are too naΓ―ve and wishful thinking, there are really two reasons why they have to do this. First, Zhang Yu has always wanted to be in Shangcheng District, but the people in Shangcheng District refused to accept him. Although his main assets are located outside Stone Street, they are essentially just floating wealth, and the people of Uptown allow him to make a fortune before he can make a fortune, and if the people above change their minds one day, the business network he has worked so hard to run may be overturned at any time. Something similar has definitely happened in the past few hundred years, and in fact the Shi family is the first to suffer a big loss. That's why Zhang Yu will take the industry of Stone Street, not Shangcheng District, as the foundation. β
Wang Luo nodded, indicating understanding.
Kong Zhang said: "The second is that if a character like Boss Zhang really wants to follow the people in Shangcheng District, we can't stop it at all." The rules of Stone Street have always been soft rules, and hard rules are in Qingpingsi. Therefore, it is not meaningful to expect Boss Zhang to defect to the enemy, but to add to each other's lives...... Of course, in the current situation, such explanations are too weak, and the little brother should listen to a story. β
Wang Luo said: "It's a good story, but it seems that I am a little too harsh. β
Kong Zhang shook his head and said: "This kind of helpless and sad story is really not a good story, and the development of Stone Street into the current pattern has its historical causes; But it is also an indisputable fact that the people of Stone Street are too naΓ―ve about their own situation. Little brother Wang Luo, before this morning, although you had decided that Zhang Yu would join the enemy, this matter may not be uncertain, and Boss Zhang's attitude may not be repeated. But now it seems that there is no room for mediation, why? β
Shi Yue also asked, "Yes, what did Fat Zhang say to you?" β
Wang Luo said: "Zhang Fulan mainly said two things, one is that Bolanzhuang is indeed aiming at the Shijie Autonomous Chapter, and they are sure that once they master the Shijie Autonomous Chapter, they will be able to have huge benefits, and Boss Zhang can also get a piece of the pie." It confirmed my previous suspicions. β
When Kong Zhang heard this, his brows immediately tightened: "Huge benefits? Where does the profit come from? β
Not only does Zhang Fulan not know about this matter, but even Zhang Yu himself can't know it completely, but there is no need to delve into this kind of minutiae, because the so-called interests are nothing more than money and law. Let's just assume that Rongcheng and even Zhuwang Golden Deer Hall will soon take Stone Street as the core and launch a strategic development, when a large amount of funds will be injected into the city, and the Great Law will also be tilted and biased, and anyone who is in Stone Street and holds the real power of Stone Street can ascend to heaven, and it is not difficult to explain what Wave Village is doing now. β
A few people under the tree only opened their mouths to listen, and their thoughts were chaotic.
Wang Luo clapped his hands, causing several people to come back to their senses: "It's too early to start imagining the beauty of your ascension in the future." Because there is another thing, although Zhang Fulan did not say it explicitly, I might as well put it here to talk about it. That is: in order to get this huge benefit, you need to remove Shi Yue from this place first. β
As soon as these words came out, the three listeners were struck by lightning, and all the thoughts in their minds turned blank for a moment.
After a long time, Shi Yue let out a wry smile, but he was speechless.
Zhao Xiuwen opened his mouth several times, but he couldn't make a sound as if he was shackled by invisible pressure. In the face of such a big event, no matter how righteous he was indignant, he couldn't believe it, after all, he was just a tenant on Stone Street, and there was no room for beaks.
Kong Zhang asked in a deep voice: "Little brother Wang Luo, although you never believe in the river, I still have to ask one more question, are you sure?" β
Wang Luo said: "Otherwise, what reason does Bolanzhuang have to urgently urge the Zhang family to target a nominal No. 1 Jade Master?" Obviously, because Shi Yue was in the way, if she was not swept out, the strategic plan behind her would be impossible. β
Kong Zhang asked again: "How can Shi Yue be able to obstruct Shijie's strategic plan with his own strength?" β
Wang Luo couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "The Shi family has been hindering the strategic plan with their own strength, they have violated taboos and been rejected by the great law, so that they have dragged down their own territory...... Isn't this an anecdote that has been circulated in the streets and alleys of Stone Street? And there is indeed some truth in it, the Shi family made great achievements in the era of the famine, and was honored by the lord, but it continued to decline in the following thousand years, so that it fell to the afterglow of only Shi Yue alone to support the huge family. And throughout the history of the Shi family, the most unfortunate thing is nothing more than a treacherous gambler like Shi Xiusheng. How many founding families in the new era were defeated because of such trivial matters? Isn't this rejected by the Great Law, what else can it be? β
Kong Zhang sighed.
"If it's just that the Shi family is rejected by the Great Law, then it's fine, but the Shi family and Shijie are highly bound, the Shi family is in decline, the Shijie is in decline, and the once glorious Lingxi Ancient Town has become an unrecognizable slum. And just across the bridge, there is a thousand years of prosperity. With such a stark contrast, if you want to say that Shijie is not affected by the Shi family, do you believe it? β
Kong Zhang shook his head silently, having nothing to say.
"Now that Stone Street is about to face great changes unseen in a thousand years, and the turnaround is imminent, the value-added potential is enough to attract the attention of the giant of Langlanzhuang, and everyone in Stone Street may be able to soar at that time...... This kind of good thing, if you don't first get rid of Shi Yue, the bad omen and the root of all evil, which is rejected by the Great Law, how can it be smooth? Take the example in front of him, Shi Yue had just paid off his local debts and regained the title of Jade Lord, and immediately had food poisoning, which plunged the entire Stone Street into a crisis. β
After speaking, Wang Luo asked Kong Zhang with a gentle smile: "At that time, if Zhang Yu says this, how are you going to deal with it?" β
