Most of the people here know Xu Tong, and even those who have never met him are familiar with his name.
Xu Tong's fame is mainly due to his style of doing things. He has always been vigorous, bold and unambiguous. He is one of the Five Tigers of Jiangdong and is known as the Fierce Tiger.
Xu Tong is not too old, only in his fifties, similar to Lin Qiu Sheng, Yuan Naiming and others, but his seniority and status in the world are very high. If we have a meeting together, he can sit on the same table as Yuan Shoushan and Lin Shangyi.
Arranged.
Although Yuan Shoushan had an ominous premonition, he still stood up in person and said, "Master Xu, what brought you to Nanjiang?"
Xu Tong laughed: "Master Yuan, look at what you said, the wind in Nanjiang can't just blow the people in Nanjiang, right? I, Xu, borrowed the east wind to come here."
Xu Tong smiled and said: "It's not your Yuan family's style, but I can borrow your Yuan family's arrows, hahaha!"
What he said was very clear. He used the allusion of Zhuge Liang borrowing the east wind and the straw boat borrowing arrows from the Three Kingdoms. It obviously meant that he wanted Wu and Shu to unite and burn Cao's camp.
Yuan Shoushan's expression changed, he snorted coldly and stopped talking.
Xu Tong walked to the middle and said loudly: "Everyone! I am Gusu Xu Tong, and I am also the planner and executor of today's engagement ceremony. If there are any shortcomings, please forgive me! Haha..."
"What, he actually planned it!"
"The Xu family is the organizer? Isn't it the Lin family?"
"What exactly is going on?"
…
"Xu is here. First of all, I would like to congratulate Mr. Li and Ms. Lin on their engagement. Mr. Li and Ms. Lin are a couple made by gods. They are made in heaven and will be together forever. They will envy us mortals! Nothing in this world is enough to match Mr. and Miss Lin.
It matches. I really can’t think of what gift to give. There is only one sentence. I have said this before, and I will say it again today. I, Xu Tong, would like to honor Mr. Li, and the entire Xu family in Gusu,
All human, financial and material resources are at the disposal of Mr. Li. In one word, Mr. Xu, he will go up to the mountains of swords and to the sea of fire without even frowning!"
Xu Tong's words are like thunder, rolling into people's ears.
This is the Xu family in Gusu!
The first few companies only said they would support the Lin family, strengthen cooperation, or make joint advances and retreats.
But Xu Tong, from the moment he came up, respected Li Muchen and allowed Li Muchen to mobilize all the resources of the Xu family, even giving up his own wealth and life.
Who is this Li Muchen? He can make Jiangdong Tiger say such things!
People finally realized something was wrong.
The four families of Hecheng Lin, Zhao, Feng, and Cha formed an alliance, plus the Shen family of Jiancheng, the Jiao family of Xuancheng, the Chen family of Shenzhou, and the Xu family of Gusu, this was no longer a small force.
This alliance includes important wealthy families from Nanjiang, Jiangdong, Wannan, and Shenzhou, forming a circle of influence with Zhenze Lake as the center.
Once such an alliance is formed, its strength will not be the combined strength of several families, but will be far greater than the combined strength of several families.
In the past, many people have thought about doing such a thing, including the government, which is also promoting such local alliances to achieve economic integration, but it is difficult for all parties to reach consensus on their interests, so it has never been successful.
Now, it is actually formed like this!
Once such a wealthy circle of influence spanning three provinces and one city is formed, no one can easily shake it.
"Tsk, tsk, even the Chen family of Shenzhou and Xu Tong of Gusu have come out. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Yuan family to attack the Lin family!"
"It's not only difficult, if the Lin family counterattacks, the Yuan family will have to think of ways to protect themselves!"
"That's not true. Are those families really willing to fight for the Lin family and the Yuan family?"
"The key is not with the Lin family, but with Li Muchen. Didn't you listen to what Xu Tong said just now? I am willing to respect Mr. Li and let everyone in the Xu family be at your disposal, no matter how hard it is!"
"Who is this Li Muchen? He can't really be a descendant of the Li family in the capital, right?"
"It's hard to say, but it's probably true!"
…
People's words naturally reached Yuan Shoushan's ears.
Yuan Shoushan also felt nervous.
What happened today was completely beyond his expectation. It was incredible that the four Hecheng families joined forces, but he didn't expect that an alliance around Zhenze Lake would be formed.
Other families were fine, but the full involvement of the Shenzhou Chen family and Gusu Xutong made Yuan Shoushan feel fearful.
But things have happened, Yuan Lin's decisive battle is inevitable, and Yuan Shoushan has no room to retreat.
As soon as he changed his mind, he thought of a countermeasure, took a step forward, pointed at Lin Shangyi opposite and said angrily:
"Lin Shangyi! You old thing! No matter how you argue with my Yuan family, it's our Nanjiang province's business. If you can't argue, you can just use your wrong thoughts. If you show off like this today, you will treat our Nanjiang wealthy family as our own.
We can tolerate monkey tricks, but you actually lured a wolf into the house!"
"Who doesn't know that the Chen family and the Xu family are a family of tigers and wolves, and they have long been eyeing our Nanjiang market. You formed an alliance with them, brought them in, destroyed our Nanjiang business structure, and squeezed out the living space of Nanjiang's wealthy families. You are so vicious.
!What is the difference between what you did today and the traitor who led the way for the Japanese?"
In just a few words, Yuan Shoushan branded the Lin family as traitors in Nanjiang, arousing the hatred of the wealthy Nanjiang families present.
"Yes, this is inviting the wolf into the house! Once the Chen family and the Xu family come, how can we still have a foothold!"
"That's right, Hecheng and Jiancheng are the north gates of Nanjiang. Once the north gate is opened, Nanjiang is unsafe to defend. The Lin family is so vicious. They want to pull up the blankets on us even if they die!"
"He won't die. He sold us all to keep himself safe."
"Hmph! We Nanjiang people are not vegetarians! They can form alliances, and so can we! With so many families and companies, are we still afraid of them?"
"Yes, let's unite too! As long as the people of Nanjiang are united, their wild ambitions can't affect us in the slightest!"
"Mr. Yuan, you are the most virtuous and respected person here. You can speak. As long as you say a word, we will also form an alliance. Mr. Yuan, you will be our leader!"
"Yes, Mr. Yuan, you will be the leader of the alliance. With the Yuan family as the center, we will unite as one to fight against foreign enemies!"
The crowd was so angry that they began to nominate Yuan Shoushan as the leader of the alliance.
Yuan Shoushan was happy, this was exactly the effect he wanted. If he could really become the leader of a wealthy family in Nanjiang, it would be a blessing in disguise.
However, he still pretended to be humble on the surface, waving his hands and saying: "Hey, Yuan, I am so virtuous and capable. Besides, in Qiantang, there are also the Qian family and the Gao family. It is not my Yuan family's turn to be the leader of the alliance."
"Mr. Yuan, please stop being modest. Neither the Qian family nor the Gao family are here. Only you, Mr. Yuan, are here. If you don't become the leader of the alliance, who will?"
"Yes, at least you do it first, and then the Qian family and the Gao family will join in and re-elect."
Some people also said: "What Mr. Yuan said makes sense, why not do this? We will contact the Qian family and the Gao family now, explain to them the situation here, and ask them to come and host it. If the Qian and Gao families join, then we will
The alliance in Nanjiang is forged. Not to mention the families on the opposite side, we are not afraid even if the entire northern forces come together. If the Qian Gao family does not come, then Mr. Yuan should not refuse. The Yuan family will do their duty and they will be our leaders in Nanjiang.
.”
Everyone felt that what this person said was reasonable, and they all agreed.
Although Yuan Shoushan was very reluctant to involve Qian and Gao's family, this process still had to be done.
In his estimation, no one from the Qian family would come. Qian Ruowang always looked down on these fights. As for the Gao family, they have encountered some troubles recently. They heard that it was related to the overseas Hongmen, and they must not be in the mood to be the leader of the alliance.
.
Therefore, Yuan Shoushan did not object to their contact with the Qian and Gao families.
Anyway, he was determined to be the leader of the alliance.
