Chapter 383: The Lin Family
Council Chamber. (Starter)
Lin Zhenyu, the head of the Lin family, glanced at the elders and said in a deep voice: "Elders, everyone has already made the matter clear, tell me your opinion!"
"Family master, the foundation of our Lin family is the pill, it is precisely because our family has occupied seventy or eighty percent of the pill sales share of the vast ancient city for a long time, and we have harvested a lot of money, so that we can supply the huge cultivation consumption of the family, so that our Lin family can sit firmly as one of the eight major families in the vast ancient city. But now the appearance of those three gold stores has greatly affected the sales of our Lin family's elixir, and in just a few days, the sales share has fallen below sixty percent, which is really shocking! Fourth Elder Lin Zhenyue said fiercely.
"I agree with the statement of the four elders, our Lin family has been passing on the pill to the world, and has always controlled the pill business in the vast ancient city, even if it is the city lord's mansion and other power families, they can't get involved in the pill business, at most they just open a few ordinary pill pΓΉ to sell some commonly used pills, and they can't be compared with our Lin family at all. But these three gold stores suddenly came out, not only selling those common pills, but also selling special pills that our Lin family did not have, and directly robbed our Lin family of nearly thirty percent of the sales share, which has seriously threatened the foundation of our Lin family. Such an enemy must not be allowed to grow up, and he must be destroyed no matter what. Sixth Elder Lin Zhenshan echoed and said.
"I don't agree with the words of the four elders and the six elders, and I understand the benefits of eliminating each other, but we haven't been able to investigate where the bosses behind the three gold shops come from, we only know that they are from a sect called the Snake Sect. Let's not talk about the background behind this sect for the time being, let's just say that the ten masters of the Heavenly Monarch, our family has also sent masters to investigate, but we can't find out what kind of cultivation the other party is, and we can only get an unfathomable evaluation. If our Lin family blindly becomes an enemy of the other party, it is difficult to predict what the result will be. Therefore, my advice is to send people to contact each other first, cooperate if they can, cooperate if they can't, and then think of other ways, in short, before finding out the real details of the other party, it is not appropriate to be an enemy with them. The third elder, Lin Zhennan, said solemnly.
β......β
Lin Zhenyu looked at the elders and expressed their opinions, most of the elders agreed to destroy each other, anyway, in the vast ancient city, except for the three major forces and the other seven families, the other forces and families were not in the eyes of the Lin family. Although the behind-the-scenes bosses of these three gold shops were extraordinary, the elders were still full of confidence in the Lin family and felt that it was not difficult to destroy each other.
Of course, there are some elders who are old and respectful like the three elders, they know very well that there are people outside the sky, and they are unwilling to take risks if they are not sure, so they all advocate sending people to contact each other first, and the best result is that the two sides cooperate to make money, and it is really not too late to cooperate and then find a way to deal with it.
"Great Elder, what do you think?" Lin Zhenyu asked as he looked at Lin Zhentian, the Great Elder who had been meditating with his eyes down.
Great Elder Lin Zhentian opened his eyes, bowed slightly to Lin Zhenyu, and said, "Family Master, the current situation, no matter how you deal with it, it can be summed up as nothing more than three countermeasures. β
Hearing this, the head of the family, Lin Zhenyu, and all the elders were all brightened.
Great Elder Lin Zhentian smiled faintly and said, "The best policy, if the other party is subdued or enslaved, then the qiΔ owned by the other party belongs to our Lin family." Zhongce, in cooperation with the other party, the other party is responsible for providing special pills, using the sales channels accumulated by our Lin family for hundreds of millions of years to sell, and the income is proportionally shared. Make a decision, destroy the other party, and it's a hundred. β
When the head of the family, Lin Zhenyu, heard this, he couldn't help but nod secretly, although the three strategies summarized by the Great Elder were simple, but as he said, no matter how he dealt with them, he couldn't escape these three countermeasures.
"The best policy that the Great Elder said is naturally the most profitable for our Lin family, but it is also the most difficult to implement, and the risk is also great, after all, the other party has a super powerhouse with unfathomable cultivation, and we don't know what kind of strength the sect behind the people has. Therefore, it is better for me to adopt the middle strategy and cooperate with the other party, so that it can not only achieve a win-win situation, but also maintain the stable position of our Lin family, and there will not be too much risk, which can be described as a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone. β
"Third Elder, you are too cautious, in the vast ancient city, in addition to the three major forces and the other seven major families, what other forces or families can compare with our Lin family? Although the origin of the Snake Sect is indeed a bit mysterious, and there is a person who cultivates for the depths of the family, but our Lin family is not vegetarian, the old ancestor is a genuine peak powerhouse, not to mention that the person on the other side who can't see through the depth is not necessarily a peak powerhouse, even if it is, our Lin family is not afraid of the other party. Therefore, it is better to implement the best policy, if it is confirmed that the other party does have a peak powerhouse, it is not too late to change to the middle strategy. β
"Yes, the second elder is right, our Lin family has an old ancestor, it is definitely impregnable, the snake sect does not need to be taken seriously, the other party can make so many special pills, there must be alchemy masters behind the support, our Lin family's goal is to take this alchemy master for his own use. β
β......β
Hearing the three strategies summed up by the Great Elder, all the elders of the Lin family spoke out one after another, and too many elders chose the best policy, because this best policy can allow the Lin family to obtain the greatest benefits, even if it fails in the end, with the backing of the ancestors, they are not afraid that something will happen, at most the best policy will not work, and it will be replaced by the middle policy.
"Since that's the case, let's first implement what the Great Elder said, I don't know which elder is willing to take on this important responsibility?"
"Master of the family, I am willing, this operation is nothing more than coercion and temptation, and I will definitely complete this mission successfully. Second Elder Lin Zhenming said out loud.
Hearing the second elder's voice, the elders who had originally planned to take over this task were silent.
"Well, that's okay, this matter will be handed over to the second elder to deal with it with all your powers, but you must be careful, whether it is coercion or temptation, you must grasp the proportion, and once there is an accident, remember to report to me immediately!" Seeing this, Lin Zhenyu, the head of the family, said with a decision.
"Yes, family master!" the second elder replied respectfully.
......
In the most expensive manor villa in the vast ancient city, Jiang He was listening to the little apprentice Qiao Qu'er report on her harvest in the past few days with a smile.
"Master, you didn't expect it, the three gold stores have just opened for a few days, and the turnover has begun to rise, as of yesterday, the total turnover of the three gold stores has exceeded 10,000 top-grade Tianshi, and the net profit has reached 8,000 top-grade Tianshi, with an average of 2,000 top-grade Tianshi coming in every day. When I open a few more gold stores, I can estimate that I can account for as much as fifty percent of the sales of pills in the entire vast ancient city, and then I can collapse other pill pΓΉ in one go, then I will be able to dominate the pill industry, and then enter other industries!" Qiao Qu'er said ambitiously.
"Hehe, yes, it's only been a few days to make such a big move. Jiang He smiled slightly when he heard this, and then changed his words and said: "But Qu'er, in any industry, there are vested interest groups, you suddenly entered the pill industry, and you also strongly seized nearly thirty percent of the sales share of the entire vast ancient city, not to mention that you plan to continue to expand your business, even if you keep the status quo, I am afraid that someone will come to you for trouble." β
"I don't steal and don't rob, I do business on my own, am I still afraid that people will not find trouble? Besides, this is not a master you are, if the other party is using business rules to make trouble for me, then that's it, if the other party is planning to use power to suppress people, I believe that the old man will not stand by and watch others bully the apprentice. Master, you said yes?" Qiao Qu'er said with a grin.
Jiang He shook his head and smiled: "You girl, the master can protect you for a while, but he can't protect you for a lifetime, and you have to rely on yourself in the end." The reason why the master didn't bring you to the Divine Realm was because he wanted you to stay here in the Heavenly Realm to hone yourself. β
Qiao Qu'er stuck out her tongue and said, "Master, I know, I will take care of this matter, it's a big deal to give up some benefits." β
"Stupid, what the master just said is that after the tribulation and ascension, you have to rely on yourself, you can't rely on the master for everything, as for now, ......" Speaking of this, Jiang He raised his eyebrows and said domineeringly: "You can do whatever you want, the master is your most solid backing." β
Qiao Qu'er: "......"
