Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 552: Chapter 36: Shou Zhe’s Counterattack_2

In Longzuo County, the Qian Family of the Purple Abode was an overwhelming prominent family. Their businesses were widespread across the entire Longzuo County, with deep roots and extensive connections. Even if Chen Clan, Wang Clan and other in-law families were all bundled together, they were still far from being a match for them.

“This matter is not urgent, wait till our several alliance families arrive, then together we can discuss.” Wang Shouzhe said with a light smile, as if he had a plan in mind.

Seeing Wang Shouzhe’s attitude, Chen Fangjie was relaxed a lot as well, he temporarily put down the concerns in his heart, and started chatting with Wang Shouzhe about domestic affairs.

Chen Fangjie has been married to Wang Luoyi for many years and they have already had three children. Besides their eldest son, Chen Xiuwu, their eldest daughter is already fourteen years old and they also have a six-year-old young child.

They were all now in Wang Shouzhe’s courtyard, with Liu Ruolan accompanying them.

The courtyard Wang Luoyi originally lived in, Wang Shouzhe had always retained it for her, so that she could bring her children back to the Wang family for a short stay every year. However, her brother-in-law Chen Fangjie might not have so much free time.

… Chen Clan was always in a rapid development, and he was now the Clan Leader of Chen Clan. He had to handle all aspects of business, naturally, he wouldn’t have so much spare time.

Wang Shouzhe had already arranged for people to invite others. As the casual chat continued, some representing members of the Wang’s related interest alliance had successively entered the room.

Among them were the Clan Leaders Gongsun Yan from the Gongsun Clan of Shanyang, Liu Yuanhui from Liu Clan of Shanyin and Xu Anbang from Xu Clan of Changning. As well as “Elder” Lu Xiaoxiao from the Spiritual Platform Realm of the Lu Clan of Yingxiu, Lei Yangyu, the Family Head of the Celestial Lei Family, and Xu Anze, the Family Head of the Xu Clan of Jinsha.

Because Wang Shouzhe was young and promising with rapid rise, many older generations of in-law families had handed over their head positions to the younger generation, in this way, they could have more in common and intersections with Wang Shouzhe.

Lu Xiaoxiao of the Lu Family, although she was not the family head, due to her close cousin relationship with Wang Shouzhe, she often represented the Lu Family and Wang Family in communication and collaboration.

All the families had marital connections with the Changning Wang Clan and “implicitly” united against outsiders, forming an alliance.

However, at that moment, the atmosphere was a bit oppressive while everyone was greeting each other.

Apparently, the Qian family’s action has put a lot of pressure on the In-laws Alliance.

Lei Yangyu of the Lei Family, had a bigger “reputation”, he drank Spiritual Tea with some irritation on his face, and said: “Shouzhe, what does that little brat Qian Xuerui count for? He dares to be arrogant on our territory, acting so conceited. If not for the Qian Family standing behind him, I would definitely have made him pay a huge price!”

Xu Anbang, the Family Head of the Changning Xu Clan was also worried, saying: “Shouzhe, our cooperative silk industry has been pursuing a low-price dumping strategy. The market has grown very large over the years. If the Qian family raises their revenue extraction from twenty percent to fifty percent, our profits will become very slim.”

“This is not the most terrifying.” Xu Clan of Jingsha’s Family Head Xu Anze said angrily, “Just afraid some people will not be satisfied, want to bite off more than they can chew. If we swallow our anger and agree to fifty percent, a few years later, they might raise it to sixty percent. So, would it mean that our families have been working hard on the industry, but finally ended up working for the Qian Family for nothing?”

“But gentlemen, what can we do if we don’t agree with Qian Family?” Gongsun Yan’s voice was somewhat low, “Our dependence on Qian Family is slightly less in cement and foreign glass. But for the procurement and sale of other materials like grains and silk, we need to rely on the Qian Family’s channels and connections. If the goods can’t be sold, wouldn’t that mean that the goods would be piled up like a mountain?”

Wang Shouzhe was sipping tea slowly, without even batting an eyelid, he continued listening to everyone venting their frustrations.

“Cousin Shouzhe.” Lu Xiaoxiao, who was now in her thirties and a mature beauty said in a delicate voice, “No matter what decision you make, my Lu Family will stick with you.”

As soon as this statement came out, everyone’s eyes fell on the soul figure of the In-laws Alliance — Wang Shouzhe.

Wang Shouzhe has always been known to be a man who brings miracles.

Indeed, it was because of his pivotal role that the In-laws Alliance had developed so smoothly and prospered together over the years.

This time, they also hoped that Wang Shouzhe could come up with a way to communicate with the top brass of the Qian Family through interpersonal relationships and return to the previous cooperation model.

“Actually, to put it, the Qian Family has its own unique platform and distribution channels.” Wang Shouzhe said with a light smile, “Merchants naturally strive for profit. It’s not surprising to seek more benefits for themselves.”

“Does Cousin mean to compromise?” Disappointment flashed in Gongsun Yan’s eyes.

However, this was a helpless matter, after all, who could compete against the mighty Qian Family of the Purple Abode?

“Compromising is not a bad thing.” Lu Xiaoxiao said, “Perhaps this will slow down the development of our In-laws Alliance, but it’s better than completely cutting off our revenue streams. While compromising, we can also expand some new channels and slowly get rid of our dependence on the Qian Family.”

Wang Shouzhe looked at Lu Xiaoxiao with admiration.

Although this cousin was a pampered girl when she was young, she gradually took up the burden of the family as she grew older, and her thinking became more mature.

Lu Xiaoxiao’s words won the approval of other family heads in the In-laws Alliance.

Frankly speaking, none of them had the capital or confidence to hard fight the Qian Family.

“As I have said, seeking profits is not surprising, after all, I Wang Shouzhe am also a profit-seeker. If it were not for Old Qian standing in front, to be honest, I would have not wanted the Qian Family to earn the two percent of business revenue.” Wang Shouzhe’s expression became serious, “Everyone must have seen it. Regardless of the quality of the product, if the sales channel is monopolized, even the best product cannot be sold.”
