Chapter 71 Major Forces Concession. Night falls. Zach ends the business dinner. He walked steadily into Williams Mansion. Richard stepped forward in a hurry: "Father, we have obtained a very important piece of information. This matter will have a great impact on the situation in Yangcheng, and it may have something to do with father and family." Zach frowned upon hearing this. "Is there going to be another damn war, or is there going to be a new change in the direction of Dajing's customs policy?" "No, this happened among the people of Yangcheng, and the person involved was my father's new friend, Mr. Yu!" "what?" Mr. Yu is indeed a man of extraordinary bearing, and his background and resources are more powerful than they appear on the surface, so he is worth making friends with.
But that’s all! He is not a prominent figure. Although he founded Xianfu Lingjiu and acquired the provincial capital wine industry, and it has developed rapidly and done a good job, he is ultimately just a young and promising wealthy businessman. Such people. Grab a bunch. None of them can catch the eyes of big shots. How could it possibly impact the situation in Yangcheng? "Speak carefully and don't miss any details!" Richard was ready. He described the intelligence in detail. Finally, he concluded: "After Mr. Yu founded the Warrior Alliance, within just seven days, nearly a hundred martial arts schools announced their joining. Currently, the number of warriors who accept the leadership of the Martial Alliance is conservatively estimated to have reached four to five thousand!" hiss! Zach's eyes widened and he gasped! These four or five thousand people are not ordinary thugs. Each of them is a warrior with blood energy and extraordinary skills! Although the status of warriors is not as high as before in the era of hot weapons, when thousands of warriors are integrated, it will still be a terrifying force that all forces will fear! "What's even more terrifying is!" Charles swallowed hard. “This number is still increasing rapidly!” "It seems that Mr. Yu is unstoppably unifying the martial arts world of Yangcheng. Not only that, but also many masters from other cities in Guangyue Province and even from other provinces have come to join him!" After listening to this. Zach was deeply shocked. He could never have imagined that Yu Xiao, whom he had just met a week ago, would become so popular in the Dajing martial arts world and become the godfather of Yangcheng martial arts! This kind of thing. No one can do it! How did he do that? It's simply an incredible miracle! Richard said excitedly: "Once Mr. Yu controls the Yangcheng martial arts world, hundreds or thousands of warriors will fight for him with just one order."
"This is a force more powerful than any gang!" "He has become one of the most influential people in Guangzhou. Father, aren't you worried about not having a strong partner locally? This may be a great opportunity for our family!" "We should deepen our relationship with Mr. Yu!" “Gain more favor and trust!” "..." indeed! The Williams family has not been in the big picture for long, and their foundation cannot be compared with the largest multinational corporations and several major English aristocrats. Under this situation. It's best to cooperate with local bosses. The power that Yu Xiao currently possesses is so great that it is probably no longer possible to describe it as a local tyrant. If we can cooperate deeply with him and join forces, the Williams family will be no less powerful than any other family in Guangzhou! but. Zach was calm. He said: "Although we need more friendship from Mr. Yu, it is not appropriate for the Williams family to take the initiative to make friends with him now. After all, there are too many forces eyeing Mr. Yu now." "Father is referring to..." Zach did not explain but asked: "You have come across the ocean to work in Dajing for more than a year. What do you think of the major forces in Yangcheng now?" The father is testing himself. If you don’t even have this insight and analytical ability. He was obviously not qualified to be the deputy general manager of Williams & Co., let alone the successor that Zack was training with all his strength. Richard quickly gathered his thoughts and said: "The various forces in Yangcheng are in chaos. There are 20 to 30 of them, big and small, but in my opinion, they can all be summarized into three major camps." Zach: "Tell me about it." "The first one is the Dajing court." "This includes officials at all levels, and the most representative figure among them is the current Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi, Rui Liancheng!" "This man is not only the Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi, but also the Governor of Guangdong and Yue. He is the most powerful official in Guangdong and Guangxi." "..." Zach: "Governor Rui is indeed one of the important figures in Yangcheng and even the entire Dajing court who cannot be ignored. Even I have only met him once." Richard continued: "Second, the global powers." "These include families and companies from Britain, France, Germany, and our country of stars." “Currently the most influential and representative.”
"It's Lord Morton!" Zach continued to nod. The Moulton family is a noble family in England. This is a family with a 900-year history, dating back to the Norman Conquest, and is now one of the most influential nobles in the north of Great Britain. And Sir Simon Moulton. He is the contemporary leader of the Morton family. He was the boss of the British Far East Company, the commercial consul of England in Dajing, and also served as the Inspector General of Customs of Dajing. Sir Morton is a real big shot. He controls most of the trade share in the Far East, especially the opium import and export market in Dajing area, which he almost monopolizes. He can create huge wealth for his family and the queen every year! Williams & Co. is qualified to be ranked among the top ten among the many local foreign companies. In terms of strength, it is already quite strong, but compared with the British Far East Company, it is just an ant. And Zach was in front of Moulton. He is even a small person who is not worth mentioning. Sir Morton was very attached to bloodline, and the Williams family was born in a humble family, so it was almost impossible for them to enter that circle, and they couldn't even be looked at by the Sir. "The third camp is the civilian forces." "This power is very complex. Although there is no absolute representative, the three gangs and four clans have great influence." "..." "The three major gangs are: the Ten Thousand Sharks Gang, the South Sea Gang, and the Hidden Dragon Gang." "The four major families are: the Wu family, the Xu family, the Lu family, and the Pan family." "..." Three major gangs. Belongs to the underworld forces. Each gang has thousands of members. They monopolized the water transport, smuggling, casinos, brothels, opium dens and other businesses in the provincial capital and even in Guangyue. If. The three major gangs belong to the underworld forces. Then the four major families represent the white forces. The four major families have a long history. Take the Wu family, the first of the four major families, for example. It has been a major family in Guangyue three hundred years ago. Fifty years ago. The Da Jing Dynasty was defeated by Yingji in the provincial capital of Guangyue. The Wu family took the initiative to bear 20% of the 20 million silver dollars that England claimed, which shows the family's immense financial strength.
…… "Well, although your knowledge of these forces is only superficial, it is not bad to understand this much in a year." Zach nodded and continued, "The forces in Yangcheng are too complicated. Mr. Yu's sudden success is indeed amazing, but whether he can really gain a foothold in the future will require some observation." It does! The Williams family are foreigners after all. I heard that the Great Xia martial arts world is extremely hostile and disgusted with foreign forces. It is indeed not appropriate to rush to get out at this time, and you may also be caught up in the vortex between forces. "Father, although it is not appropriate for you and me to have direct contact with Mr. Yu at the moment, I think maybe Alice can do something that is inconvenient for us." "Alice..." Zach then remembered his daughter. Alice is different from Richard. She came to Dajing earlier than Richard and has lived in Yangcheng for three years. She is a woman. It's not easy to attract attention. Not only does Alice not hold a position in the foreign company, but due to her interest in Dajing culture, she is currently working as a trainee reporter at the Dajing Recorder. Let her contact Mr. Yu and the Wumeng as a reporter. Maybe it's a good choice. (End of this chapter)
