Rebellious Contract Beast

Hey~
Whether to target the Wu family is a matter for the future. After all, we have only taken the first step now. Who knows if there will be any accidents in the future?

The plan has just started, so it's not a good idea to be so cautious. Anyway, when the time comes, someone will naturally suffer.

In short, the support of the two prominent families in Jiangzhou was obtained. After receiving the news, Shen Yi immediately asked Qu Xiangui to establish a Wanlong Chamber of Commerce. However, at the reminder of He Jianchuyun, Shen Yi changed the word "Long" in the Wanlong Chamber of Commerce to "Long", and at the same time merged the Yulong Chamber of Commerce. The president was Wang Hongxu, the president of the Yulong Chamber of Commerce.

After the Wanlong Chamber of Commerce was established, Shen Yi asked Qu Xiangui to send people to find the Chen family, the Zhu family, and the Luo family to integrate all the business resources in Jiangzhou City together, and then gradually expand downward.

As for the Xu family?

As a time traveler, Shen Yi was broad-minded. Of course, he did not neglect the Xu family and still brought the Xu family into the group.

The reason is very simple. By integrating all the businesses in Jiangzhou City, the small businesses run by ordinary people to make a living will be squeezed out and have no room for survival. If Shen Yi wants to take care of them, the Tianxiaren Group founded by Shen Yi will always be in a loss-making state, and only the big families will profit.

In this way, the Tianxiaren Group simply cannot survive.

How can capitalists do business at a loss?
But in order to avoid losses, one of the big families and the common people must be sacrificed.

How to choose between offending the common people or offending the big families? The best way is of course to wrong the common people. After all, compared with the big families, the common people are obviously easier to bully. If the Tianxiaren Group wants to make a profit, the best solution is to eat the blood of the common people and squeeze profits from them.

But Shen Yi was not happy about it, and decisively chose to sacrifice the interests of the big family to make up for the losses of taking care of the common people.

Naturally, the four major families would definitely not agree, but they had no way of disagreeing. After all, Shen Yi now had the retainer tokens of the two prestigious families, Lin and Wu. With chicken feathers as a command, no one from the four major families in Jiangzhou City dared to say a word against him.

I can only comfort myself secretly that although I can't make much by cooperating with Tianxiaren Group, it is at least 10% to 20% more than before.

But it was only on the surface. After Shen Yi did this, the four major families would no longer be able to do private accounts, and there would be no more invisible income in secret.

It seems that the income has increased by 10% or 20%, but in fact the monthly income has dropped by half compared to before.

Even more unlucky was the Xu family. After the Wu Han incident, most of the Xu family's wealth was extorted by the Wu family. In terms of scale, the Xu family was completely inferior to the other three families. They thought that Shen Yi was kind-hearted and let bygones be bygones and dragged them to make big money together, but they were dumbfounded when they saw what Shen Yi had done.

After the Xu family joined the Tianxiaren Group, not only did their hidden income disappear, but their visible income also decreased by 40% to 50%.

That’s right. Anyway, the big families have to sacrifice part of their own interests. Since they are all going to sacrifice their interests, how could Shen Yi forget about the Xu family for such a “good thing”?
Of course, everyone has fun together!
However, like the four major families, the Tianxiaren Group can't make much money, and most of it has to be handed over to the Lin family. The only benefit is the protection of the Lin family.

But Shen Yi didn't care how much benefits he gave to those prominent families. After these two backers tasted the sweetness, they would become more and more stable. Even if the big families below were dissatisfied and made trouble, the Lin and Wu families would only stand on his side for the sake of their interests.

After all, the Lin family and the Wu family don't want the four major families to have secret income, because if they have secret income, the share of tribute paid to them will be less.

This kind of family member doesn't have to do anything, just concentrate on practicing, and can earn millions of taels of silver every month. Who would refuse such a good thing?
Not only will we not refuse, we will not allow anyone to destroy this benefit.

If anyone in those big families disagrees, they are destroying the interests of the two prestigious families of Lin and Wu!

It’s the enemy of the Linwu family!

In addition to these, Shen Yi also asked Qu Xiangui to send people to other cities in Jiangzhou to set up branches of Tianxiaren Group, integrating all business resources in the same way. However, considering that the power of those big families was too complicated and intertwined, he was afraid that it would be difficult to deal with them if something happened, so the shares were separated.

It's like a person opened several companies. In Jiangzhou City, apart from the part that is supplied to the Lin family and the Wu family, the rest is divided equally between the Tianxiaren Group and the four major families. The latter are responsible for handing over the industries under their own families, no matter whether they are white or gray, and they are not allowed to keep any. If they insist on keeping some, you can keep it. But the Tianxiaren Group is mainly responsible for publicity and promotion. If you don't give it to them, they will create an identical industry themselves and then provide them with publicity and promotion resources crazily. Then you can compare who will lose the market first.

Well... Shen Yi also knew that relying solely on advertising would not last long. After all, once there are too many advertisements, people will become numb to them and the effects will become bland. Therefore, the Tianxiaren Group and the Zhonghu Gang are also building roads and bridges, opening up fast and efficient trade routes with other cities, and vigorously developing local commerce. After all, only when ordinary people have money in their hands will they be willing to spend, and only then can the people above them make money.

If ordinary people are so poor that they just save their money instead of spending it, then what's the point?
But this kind of thing needs to be done slowly and can't be rushed. Besides, the current results are good and will get better and better in the future.

The problem is that the four major families hate Shen Yi to death, but they don’t know that Shen Yi is the culprit, so they just transfer their hatred to Wu Gong and Qu Xiangui.

The only ones who were not affected were He Jian Chu Yun and her aunt's property, and Zui'anlou Shen Yi also made a small concession for the Chen family.

As for the rest, one by one, all of them were forced by Shen Yi from their original wealth to the poverty line.

Even if these big families wanted to carry out assassination, Shen Yi had already asked the Lin family and the Wu family to send two members each to take charge. If they wanted to take action, they would have to consider whether they could afford to offend them.

At the same time, because He Jianyanqiu's industry is still in a privatized state, his status in the Zhu family has risen again, and he has firmly surpassed Wan Gaoyue.

Speaking of He Jian Yan Qiu, we have to mention Zhu Yantao. After Shen Yi asked Wu Sheng to send people to expose Zhu Yantao's private sale of the Zhu Mansion, just on the third day, the third elder of the Zhu family personally took people to drag Zhu Yantao to Ji Fu Casino. What happened afterwards, Shen Yi and the old witch were not at the scene, so they did not see it.

But the result has come out. It is said that the third elder of the Zhu family took people to the Ji Fu Casino and smashed the casino directly, killed a large number of members of the Jinsha Gang, and forcibly took back the land deed.

The guards around Zhu Yantao all disappeared overnight and their whereabouts were unknown. They were most likely killed by Zhu's family. Zhu Yantao's entourage was also replaced. It was said that two of them were originally the guards following the third elder Zhu.

Although Zhu Yantao seemed to have not received any punishment, he was actually under house arrest in disguise, and there were people watching him wherever he went.

It was not known whether Zhu Yantao had mentioned the matter of the old witch, but after Elder Zhu San got back the land deed, no one came to Mingyan Courtyard to question the old witch for three days. Shen Yi was relieved and melted all the gold into big gold bricks with peace of mind.

Add bricks and tiles to your future golden palace.

There was originally about eleven days' worth of gold left, but now that things have come to this, it's better not to have the remaining gold.

Stroking the brand new gold brick in his hand, Shen Yi's face was filled with uncontrollable joy, but at this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard gate.

dong dong dong~
Shen Yi was stunned and looked towards the gate, subconsciously thinking that Zhu Yantao was not giving up and came to harass the old witch again.

The two guards at the door heard the noise outside and immediately walked to the door and asked in a calm voice, "Who is outside?"

"it's me."

A deep male voice came from outside the door, but it wasn't Zhu Yantao's. It sounded like Zhu Yixuan's...

The two guards obviously recognized the voice. They looked at each other and then opened the door a crack.

"What are you doing here?" "I want to see He Jian Chuyun. I have something important to tell her." Although Wu Gong spared Zhu Yixuan's life under Shen Yi's arrangement last time, he now looks much more haggard than before, and speaks weakly.

Upon hearing this, the two guards didn't say anything. One of them told him to wait here, then turned around and went to inform Tsurumi Hatsuyun.

Not long after, the guard came back and said, "Come in, my lady is waiting for you in the hall."

"Thank you."

Zhu Yixuan breathed a sigh of relief, stepped through the gate and walked quickly towards the hall. Shen Yi thought about it, stood up from the blanket and followed Zhu Yixuan.

Zhu Yixuan frowned when he found that there was a contracted beast following him, but said nothing. He just pretended he didn't exist and walked into the hall.

Just as the guard said, He Jian Chu Yun was already in the hall. When he saw Zhu Yixuan, he gestured for him to find a place to sit, and he poured a cup of freshly brewed tea and asked Zhu Hong to pass it to him.

"What's the matter? Tell me."

"Hmm." Zhu Yixuan took the tea but did not drink it. Instead, he put it aside and said, "I just met with the people from the Lonely Guest Alliance. They said that a group of experts have come from Dongzhou for the commission here, so you have to be careful recently."

"How many assassins from the Lonely Alliance came from Dongzhou?"

"I don't know either. They just said that some people came, but they didn't specify how many people. I heard that there seemed to be earth-level masters among them."

"Hmm..." He Jianchuyun nodded.

Zhu Yixuan came here to give us a heads-up. Knowing that the assassins from the Lonely Alliance would take action soon was better than knowing nothing.

But if it's just for this, it shouldn't be necessary. Although Zhu Yixuan is down and out, he still has his men at his disposal. Can't we just send someone over to inform them?
I'm afraid there are other purposes.

Shen Yi thought so in his heart, and He Jian Chuyun had obviously guessed it. She took a sip of tea and looked at Zhu Yixuan with a smile.

Seeing her gaze, Zhu Yixuan became nervous.

"You came to see me in person, it should be more than just for this matter, right?"

"As expected, nothing can escape your eyes, Miss Chuyun. To be honest, I came to see you to ask for something."

"You say it."

"It's like this. Most of the people under me have wives and children, and there are too many mouths to feed. If it were in the past, I could handle it, but since the merger with Tianxiaren Group, you know, Miss, the Zhu Mansion has huge expenses in all aspects and can no longer take care of people like us. Although I can understand a little, but after all..."

Zhu Yixuan talked a lot, but most of it was nonsense. He was just pretending to be pitiful in order to win He Jian Chuyun's sympathy.

Like other families, the Zhu family was strangled by the Tianxiaren Group and their income was cut in half. Although it was enough for daily expenses, it inevitably brought people a strong sense of crisis. There was no way to solve it, so the Zhu family could only take action against the people below.

If the Tianxiaren Group is strangling them, then they will strangle the family members.

Of course Zhu Yixuan was among them, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Of course, many people in the Zhu Mansion wanted to plead with He Jian Chu Yun and ask the Tian Xia Ren Group to be tolerant through He Jian Chu Yun, but He Jian Chu Yun simply refused to see them, so they didn't have that opportunity.

As for He Jianyanqiu?

He Jian Yan Qiu could indeed be seen, but she was good at Tai Chi. She would listen to and say any nice things, but she would not do anything. Over time, those members of the Zhu family who wanted to beg for mercy gave up.

Therefore, Zhu Yixuan’s main point was to get the Tianxiaren Group to give him a chance, so that he would be like Hejian Yanqiu, who seemed to have suffered a disaster but actually made as much money as he should have.

"Miss, the grudge between us has long since vanished. As long as you help me this time, don't worry. As long as there is any movement in the Lonely Guest Alliance, I will immediately tell you the first time. Not only the Lonely Guest Alliance, but if there is anything you need in the future, I, Zhu Yixuan, will definitely help you!"

After talking for four or five minutes, Zhu Yixuan finally finished his words, then looked at He Jian Chu Yun expectantly, waiting for her response.

He Jianchuyun did not speak immediately, but moved her gaze towards Shen Yi. Shen Yi also looked at her and blinked.

He Jianchuyun seemed to understand what he meant. She nodded, turned to Zhu Yixuan, and said calmly, "I understand. I will try my best to help you, but as a weak woman, I can't make the decision on this matter. If Qu Xiangui and the others give in, I will naturally send someone to bring you the news. You should go back first."

"Thank...thank you very much, Miss Chuyun." Zhu Yixuan nodded. Although this matter did not succeed, it was not disappointing.

He didn't stay long and soon said goodbye and left.

After Zhu Yixuan left the hall, He Jianchuyun also sent Zhu Hong and the others away. Finally, he looked at Shen Yi and said helplessly, "Are you sure you want to help Zhu Yixuan? Isn't it good for him to be like this?"

"I'll help you, but not right now. Just keep him hanging for now. We don't have to be enemies with anyone for life."

"Well, it's up to you, but I care about the affairs of the Lonely Alliance..."

"We need to resolve the Lonely Alliance issue as soon as possible, but have you thought about it? When should we start?"

"Let's do it tomorrow night, so as to avoid any more trouble."

Tsurumi Hatsuun said, the temperature in his eyes gradually turning colder.

All along, the Lonely Guest Alliance has been in the dark, while she has been in the light. It is hard to say when the Lonely Guest Alliance will kill. She and Shen Yi can dodge the assassinations of the Lonely Guest Alliance time and time again, but if they make a mistake, they will be in danger.

This is undoubtedly a duel with the god of death.
