Chapter 499 The King Misses the King(2/2)
The fourth master can go to watch the ceremony, take Wang Kang over by the way, and ask Wang Qing about the adoption in public, and then the rest of us will help put pressure on him."
Xu Lili imagined the scene tomorrow and agreed: "Very good, I can also get to know some powerful fellow villagers!"
All the people present were wealthy, and he liked such occasions.
Then he asked: "But I heard that Lin Tailai likes to be in the limelight. Will he show up at a time like tomorrow?"
Over the years, Zheng Dachaofeng has paid a heavy price for Lin Tailai.
Through this kind of dedication, he already had a very deep understanding of Lin Tailai's various habits.
So at this time he said with great certainty: "With Lin Tailai's character and greed for the salt industry, he will definitely attend in a high-profile manner tomorrow!
Moreover, he will bring a dozen small traders from Lin's Salt Industry to appear at the scene in a group to demonstrate to us!"
Xu Lili didn't want to miss this opportunity, as if he was saying to himself: "Then it looks like we will have to meet the famous one tomorrow.
Lin Tailai's thoughts on Wang's Salt Industry are well known to Sima Zhao."
Zheng Dachaofeng said: "As Fourth Master, Lin Tailai cannot do anything to you, and most of his methods cannot be used on you, Fourth Master.
The fourth master just needs to capture Wang Qing tomorrow. Since he has no offspring, it is only natural and natural for his family members to inherit the family property. This aspect is completely justified.
Moreover, half of the people present are from our Huizhou hometown. According to the rules of going out, the business gangs from the same hometown have always supported each other and interfered with each other.
We can all comment on the Wang family's affairs, but Lin Tailai is a foreigner, and he is not qualified to say anything on the Wang family's issues.
Therefore, in terms of public opinion, we are not worried about Lin Tailai at all, and Fourth Master can rest assured.
Then what choice does Wang Qing have? Unless he completely abandons his hometown, no longer cares about his clan, and does not want to return to his roots."
Based on the concepts of this era, Zheng Dachaofeng was right in saying that fellow race and hometown are often the basis of a person's social attributes.
On the second day, a large courtyard near the Yangzhou City Transport Bureau and Dongzi Temple was very lively, with gongs and drums noisy and flags waving.
The Salt Industry Association, which has been in preparation for more than half a year, will be officially established here today. This is a major event in Yangzhou City.
There are nearly 200 seats in the five-room hall, and all merchants have special seats.
At this time, everyone had not yet sat down, and they were all gathering on the porch in front of the hall to talk.
Zheng Dachaofeng, the leader of the Huizhou merchants, naturally had a circle of people surrounding him. Young Master Xu also stood here, enjoying the flattery of others.
However, no one focused too much on chatting, and glanced in the direction of the door frequently.
Everyone knows very well that the shadow that has been hovering over the salt industry in the past few years, as if it can block the sky and the sun, has not yet appeared.
But what surprised everyone was that, seeing that the auspicious time was approaching, none of the big shots from Lin's Salt Industry showed up.
The dozen puppet merchants affiliated with Lin's Salt Industry are all here, but what's the point?
None of the core figures such as the real owner of Lin's Salt Industry, the nominal boss, and the top shopkeeper appeared.
As time went by, everyone began to feel uncertain. Could something big happen?
Even the laughter and laughter in the courtyard gradually disappeared. Young Master Xu looked around in confusion. What kind of terrifying oppression is this?
Then can Lin Tailai put such huge pressure on others just because he didn't show up?
At this tense moment, suddenly Wang Qingwang, a large salt merchant, walked into the courtyard from outside the screen wall.
Everyone stopped talking and all paid attention to Mr. Wang.
Wang Yuanwai was stunned for a moment, then laughed dumbly and said, "What do you think I'm doing? I'm not Lin Jiuyuan!"
Someone asked: "Why hasn't Academician Lin shown up for so long?"
Wang Yuanwai replied: "Lin Jiuyuan got on the ship today and set off back to Suzhou! How could he appear here?"
"Asshole! Asshole!" Mr. Xu suddenly lost his composure and cursed loudly.
It turns out that Lin Tailai didn't take him seriously at all!
It turns out that Lin Tailai didn't take himself seriously from beginning to end!
He didn't even bother to look at himself! Complete disregard!
Yesterday, Commander Wan still regarded himself as a fool, but Lin Tailai regarded himself as nothing!
Zheng Dachaofeng, the leader of Huizhou merchants and one of the three general merchants of the Salt Industry Association, seemed to have been drained of all his energy. He was unsteady and leaned against the pillar.
Lin Tailai, who had caused him trouble for several years, was gone. He should have been relaxed and happy.
But for some reason, his heart was empty and he felt inexplicably lost.
Is he completely insignificant in Lin Tailai's heart? Isn't it worth facing again?
Isn't even such a major event as the establishment of the Salt Industry Association not important in Lin Tailai's heart?
