1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 3234
The head of the Ma family is only the leader of the clan, not an official appointed by the state, but now Ma Dongqiang's influence in the northern region is no less than that of ordinary officials.

One decision by Ma Dongqiang can mobilize thousands of manpower, mobilize a lot of resources, and even stir up the market conditions in several provinces.

No matter where he goes, the local government will treat him carefully and politely, hoping that this God of Wealth can bring some development opportunities to the local area, so that he can have some outstanding achievements during his term of office.

And the people's pursuit of Ma Dongqiang is even worse.In recent years, some people have even made New Year pictures of the God of Wealth with Ma Dongqiang as a sample, which are very popular in the market in Denglei area.Although there is suspicion of forcibly grabbing traffic, it also shows the public's admiration for Ma Dongqiang.

After coming and going, Ma Dongqiang became the God of Wealth Ma, and the public knew that as long as he leaked a little from his fingers, it was enough to make an ordinary person into a rich man.

Although everyone in the Ma clan has followed Ma Dongqiang to make a fortune in recent years, since he is going to retire and abdicate now, it means that the position of patriarch will be occupied by those who are capable. Once you are lucky enough to fight for it, it will be a blessing to reach the sky in one step.

Of course, not everyone is greedy for profit at this time, forgetting who Ma Dongqiang's backer is.

Many people have been secretly paying attention to the changes in Chen Yixin's expression, wanting to see his attitude towards the current situation.But Chen Yixin's face remained normal, and he did not intervene, which inevitably made people think that Chen Yixin did not object to the competition for the position of patriarch.

As a result, some people who had been holding a wait-and-see attitude also began to boldly jump out, demanding that the successor of the patriarch should be elected by the whole clan, and Ma Dongqiang should not directly appoint the candidate.

After some discussion, each house recommended five candidates, plus Ma Cai selected by Ma Dongqiang, a total of six people competed for the position of patriarch.

The situation that was originally 100% certain, suddenly only had a one-sixth possibility. Whether it was the people involved in it or the people watching the excitement, they all became excited now.

Ma Cai is very calm. In the past two or three years, he has gradually taken over his father's work. He is more confident in controlling the clan business and understanding the status of patriarch than these competitors.

Of course, the most important thing is that Ma Cai is convinced that his brother-in-law will play the role of Dinghaishenzhen. Chen Yixin cannot trust outsiders to take care of such a big business.

Ma Dongqiang said: "Since the candidate has been determined, whoever has the most supporters will be elected as the next patriarch. What do you think?"

"Wait a minute, I want to say a few more words." Chen Yixin, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke at this time.

When Chen Yixin wanted to express his opinion, everyone present naturally did not dare to object.Regardless of the final result of the patriarch's selection, Chen Yixin had to nod in approval.If he doesn't admit it, no matter how lively it is now, it's just tossing around.

Seeing that the ancestral hall was quiet, Chen Yixin continued, "How many industries does the Ma family currently operate? I believe that after listening to the financial summary just now, everyone has a good idea."

"The position of patriarch is not only related to the rise and fall of the Ma clan, but also to the tens of thousands of people who are attached to these industries. Whoever takes this position has to take this responsibility!"

"You all said just now, what will happen to me after I take office, I don't like to watch people paint cakes, if I can't fulfill what you just said, then don't blame me, Chen Yixin, for not being sympathetic!"

When Chen Yixin said this, his eyes swept across the faces of several candidates one by one, and his tone became colder: "You guys are responsible for the industries you are responsible for, tell me first, if you don't show up I think there is no need to join the competition!"

After Chen Yixin finished speaking, three of the six people silently took two steps back, signaling that they would withdraw from the competition for patriarch.The most profitable property of the clan is in Ma Dongqiang's hands. Compared with business performance, who can compare with Ma Cai who has been by Ma Dongqiang's side all the time?

When Chen Yixin speaks now, it is obvious that he is trying to persuade others to leave. Instead of making a fortune, it is better to be more knowledgeable and quit voluntarily. At least it can leave a good impression on others.

Chen Yixin saw that besides Ma Cai, there were two other people standing still and not retreating, so he continued: "I remember that one of you is operating the shipping between Dengzhou and Jinzhou, and the other is managing the transportation between Dengzhou and Jinan. Regarding the trade between the prefectures, can you explain to me why Ma’s shipping company falsely reported a total of 48 yuan in maintenance costs last year? From January to March this year, the average loss of goods sent to Dengzhou by Jinan prefecture Up to [-]%, where is this [-]% of the goods lost?"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the two people standing side by side with Ma Cai suddenly changed.

They are also considered to be somewhat capable figures in the Ma clan, and they all have their own businesses in charge, and their business conditions are not bad, so they have the confidence to stand here.

But since you have the power in your hands, how can you escape human nature, and it is not a big deal to get a little money from the business you have passed into your pocket.

This is the clan's property, not to mention that there are many people who benefit from it, and everyone usually has a tacit understanding.But since Chen Yixin asked about this matter and was able to tell the details, it is obvious that he has some evidence.

No matter how messed up you are, as long as no one is looking after you, you'll be fine.But if Chen Yixin wanted to speak out, then they, as managers, would have to bear the blame.

The two looked at each other, knowing that if they didn't give in at this time, they might be liquidated by Chen Yixin, so they took two steps back silently, leaving Ma standing alone.

Chen Yixin nodded in satisfaction and said: "It seems that there are not so many people who are suitable for this position...Since there is only Ma Cai left, let me ask again, who will support Ma Cai as the patriarch? be opposed to?"

There was silence in the ancestral hall, even the old uncle Ma Yongqing, who had spoken nonsense to Ma Dongqiang before, was silent at the moment, but his face was extremely ugly, which showed that he was not very convinced by Chen Yixin's interference in his heart.

But Chen Yixin was not Ma Dongqiang, and if he wanted to reason with him, he had to weigh himself first.Besides, if you want to jump out and sing the opposite at this time, the one who opposes it is not Ma Dongqiang, but Chen Yixin. As long as the brain is not broken, people should not be able to do such desperate things.

Chen Yixin said: "According to everyone's suggestions, the process that should be followed has been gone through just now. Since everyone feels that there is no other opinion, then please ask the current patriarch to announce the result!"

Ma Dongqiang smiled slightly, stepped forward and said: "Thanks to all the elders for supporting the dog, then according to everyone's wishes, Ma Cai will take over the position of patriarch!"
