Chapter 437: The talk of the old man from the Wang family

The Dali Kingdom is at the southernmost end of the major forces on the mainland. It crosses the south of the wasteland two thousand miles south, and the Dachen Kingdom to the north, and the Qiankun Empire to the west. To the east, part of it borders Xuanyuan Tianzong, and the other part is bordered by the sea.

The superior geographical location made the trade in the Dali Kingdom very developed. Almost all major families worked in commercial banks, earning a lot of wealth through reselling goods from various places.

The Wang family mainly operates maritime trade, reselling rich specialties from all over the mainland to overseas forces, and reselling special cars from all over the mainland.

In fact, the Wang family’s origin was not noble. More than two hundred years ago, the ancestors of the Wang family were fishermen on the beach, living a hard life with wind and sun shining against the wind and rain.

However, even the city walls could not be stopped. The ancestor of the Wang family went to sea to fish and encountered wind and waves (a very old-fashioned story). As a result, the fishing boat was broken and he also floated to an unknown island. On this island, he actually found dozens of large clams, and all he found were pearls the size of a fist, including three priceless black pearls.

At that time, the ancestors of the Wang family were ecstatic. This was a fortune from heaven. The so-called antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times (of course, gold in this world is not an ordinary equivalent) were singing and dancing to the Dali Kingdom in a peaceful and prosperous era. People's pursuit of luxury goods was no less than that of the Yueshade Kingdom. These dozens of pearls were definitely a big sum of money.

However, after being happy, the ancestor of the Wang family was worried. He was trapped on the island and could not get out. No amount of money was useful to him. He had no food or drink, and he had to starve to death in the end.

However, God really gave the ancestors of the Wang family great luck. On the third day, when the ancestors of the Wang family could not find Danshui and were already dying, a merchant ship passed by and discovered him.

The ancestors of the Wang family were very smart and understood the principle of not showing off their wealth. They did not bring the dozens of pearls. Instead, they remembered the location of the island and the route of the merchant ship returning.

After returning to the fishing village, the ancestors of the Wang family sold all the things in their homes. They rebuilt a small boat and landed on the island again based on their memory, and then they took back the pearls.

After that, the Wang family's development was smooth and luck, and every time the commercial competition turned into each other, it did not affect them. And through the repeated power splits and integrations, the Wang family gradually grew up. After five generations of people's diligent development, the Wang family is now the top business family in the Dali Kingdom.

The Wang family has developed to this day. In addition to being very lucky, it has a direct relationship with the education of the Wang family ancestors. The lack of a mediocre head of the Five Dynasties is enough to explain the problem. When the Wang family determines the heirs of the younger generation, the test is everywhere.

This time, Wang Tong, the fourth generation head of the Wang family, had his birthday on the 80th birthday. The birthday gifts of several grandsons were his test for the next generation. Mr. Wang Tong was 80 years old and had seen the market grew bigger. How could ordinary birthday gifts make him excited? Therefore, from this simple birthday gift, we can not only see the attentiveness of several juniors in doing things, but also the thinking patterns of the next generation and the ability to manage connections.

On February 33, in Linhai City, an important town in the eastern part of the Dali Kingdom, the Wang family house was decorated with lights and guests were like Peng. Although the fourth-generation head of the family, Mr. Wang Tong, had retired, the power of the tiger was still there. Not only was his 80th birthday, not only did the upper nobles of Linhai City arrive, but many people came to Dali Capital.

The fifth-generation head of the family, Wang Zhicheng, was busy all around, and all the people came were well-known. Of course, he, as the head of the family, had to greet him personally.

However, although Wang Zhicheng had a smile on his face, there was a hint of anxiety in his eyes. As the birthday party was about to begin, why didn’t Wang Lun come back yet?

As the head of the family, Wang Zhicheng knew the importance of this birthday party. Of course, the Wang family chose to succeed him, but there was no such thing as a direct branch. He was not Wang Tong's child, but Wang Tong's second son.

But people are selfish. Although the family rules make the identity differences between the next generation not that big, the son of the head of the family still has innate advantages. Whether it is the usual learning and financial supply, it is destined to be unbalanced. He only has Wang Lun, and of course he also hopes that his son can win.

"This soul is so weak. If the old man's 80th birthday is delayed, I will break your leg when he comes back!" Wang Zhicheng felt ruthless. He was so angry. Do you know how important the day is today? The Wang family has developed to this day and is already a big family of 100 people. There are more than 30 people in the sixth generation. If you want to stand out from the crowd, do you know how difficult it is...

After waiting for a while, seeing that the guests had already taken their seats, Wang Zhicheng had to turn around and go to the backyard to invite today's birthday star, Mr. Wang Tong, to come out...

In the backyard of the Wang family's mansion, several white-bearded elderly people were talking in a low voice.

"Old Wang, it's better for your Wang family. The maritime trade will not be affected at all. This time, we have suffered a lot. Xuanyuan Tianzong was defeated in the Yueying Kingdom, and many of our trades were cut off!" One of the old men shook his head with a bitter face.

"Hey! It's really unlucky this time. Who knew that Xuanyuan Tianzong had gone crazy and actually attacked the Yueying Kingdom!" Another old man looked bad, obviously after this battle, it would also have an impact on their business.

The old man among them chuckled, unable to hide a hint of pride in his eyes, and he slowly said: "Although the Xuanyuan Tianzong was strong before, their ambitions were too great. I dare not deal with them, so I would not dare to eat them in one bite... In fact, you have not lost too much, it is just that the trading partners have lost them, just look for them again!"

Another old man said, "Old Wang, don't talk sarcasticly. Is it so easy to find a trading partner again? Otherwise, we will all get involved in maritime trade..."

The old man said something, and the other few people nodded. They knew very well how prosperous the Wang family's maritime trade was and they had long been envious.

"Okay!" Wang Tong in the middle nodded with a smile: "The current maritime trade is not ours. The other companies put a lot of pressure on our Wang family. If you join, we can form an alliance..."

"Take it down!" The other people waved their hands at the same time. They were just jokes. The benefits of maritime trade are large, but the risks are even greater. A ship of cargo is enough to hurt a family. Moreover, if you have never done maritime trade, you will be silly, making people foolish. Overseas trade is all big orders.

Wang Tong knew that this was the result, and laughed and said, "Actually, you don't need to do this. It is not necessarily a bad thing to break off the trade with Xuanyuan Tianzong. Now the Qiankun Empire is the only one. You can try to contact them!"

"Old guy, don't hurt to speak while standing, you can get in touch with me by saying that you can contact me. Don't you know that Dali had a conflict with the Qiankun Empire before?

Wang Tong's smile was calm, and he thought for a while and asked, "Is it the Orc Alliance that came to ask for help?"

"Isn't that!" an old man nodded and said, "The salt mines in the Great Qin Kingdom are all produced by bitter salt. Xuanyuan Tianzong exchanged salt for vegetables, with the purpose of blocking the supply of vegetables from the Orc Alliance... After that, the Orc Alliance and the envoys of the Qiankun Empire came here at the same time, wanting to request the purchase of vegetables... I heard from the people in the court that our emperor wanted to take advantage of the situation and robbed..."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, another old man followed: "Not only is the Qiankun Empire and the Orc Alliance lukewarm with us, but also Daqin, which is the four kingdoms... Now the development momentum of Daqin's world trading company is amazing. It is far from the desert to the west and the southern wilderness to the south. It is one step ahead of our closest to the southern wilderness. We have contacted them before, but the result is a negative answer. People don't want to trade with us at all."

After listening to it, Wang Tong breathed a sigh of relief and said lightly: "Now the world's business is really awesome. They were far from the size they are now. They were almost unable to raise their heads by Wan Xiang of Xuanyuan Tianzong."

"It's because they hung Jiang Xingchen's hooks, honey, candles, and spirits. These things are exclusively sold by them, and others can't get involved! Even the last crisis of the bitter salt mine was solved by Jiang Xingchen for them!"

"It's really amazing to talk about Jiang Xingchen. I heard that he was in the shadow of several battles between the Qiankun Empire and Xuanyuan Tianzong, and as long as he appears, the Qiankun Empire will all win!"

"He is also the popular Bauhinia Song and Dance Troupe. It's funny to say that my granddaughter is still his. What's that?... By the way, call it a fan. Jiang Xingchen is talking all day long, so he's so fascinated... What's the use of being confused about him?"

"What's the use of being confused about him? Old thing, if your granddaughter can really catch Jiang Xingchen, you can kneel down and worship the gods all over the sky!"

"Do you know that Jiang Xingchen also played a decisive role in this battle between the Qiankun Empire and Xuanyuan Tianzong..."

"Aren't you talking nonsense? The news spread all over the world. The reason why Yueying Capital can be kept is because Jiang Xingchen invented a weapon called grenade that is powerful... Now everyone in the royal family has gone to Yueying Kingdom and discussed buying the production method!"

"I bought it for nothing. Only Jiang Xingchen can do that thing. Yueying has already announced it to the world!"

"You said that the Qiankun Empire has obtained grenades. Will it also attack the four neutral kingdoms like Xuanyuan Tianzong?"

"No! The eight kingdoms formed an alliance, and they did not dare to act rashly, and the orc alliance was not optimistic. The two tribes were rebellious... And Yueying said that the cost of grenades was extremely high, and the Qiankun Empire was at most a small-scale equipment. If the entire army was equipped, they could not afford the money..."

As several old men talked about each other here, Mr. Wang Tong's eyes gradually froze. He was not very interested in what the people were talking about, and he knew that the Qiankun Empire was unable to expand. What he was thinking now was: "Honey, candles, and liquor, if these things were sold overseas, how much money could they make..."
