Chapter 360: Change of Stance

On this day, Patriarch Gu and Xie Zhan talked alone in the teahouse for half a day.

After Xie Zhan left, Patriarch Gu stayed inside for half an hour before he called Gu Huaisheng in.

After Gu Huaisheng went in and sat down, he asked, "Grandpa, what did Xie Zhan talk to you about?" They actually talked for a long time.

Patriarch Gu asked instead, "Huaisheng, what do you think our Gu family should do at this time?"

"Grandpa——" Gu Huaisheng smiled bitterly.

The last time Xie Zhan came to visit, he asked the Gu family to make a choice.

When faced with taking sides, it was really difficult for him to choose.

"Your previous idea was good. It at least gave Gu Shi one more choice."

"It's a pity that my second brother messed up the matter and it's my fault. I shouldn't take it for granted."

"I understand, you tend to choose Liaodong County." Patriarch Gu said firmly.

Gu Huaisheng nodded, "That's true. Xie Zhan's methods are too cruel, and the forces in Liaodong County are no less powerful than him. In addition, Ji Wuyin has good relations with Liaodong County, so between Xie Zhan and Liaodong County, I am more Prefer Liaodong County.”

Patriarch Gu commented one by one on the reasons why he chose Liaodong County.

"Ji Wuyin's vision is indeed good."

"But Xie Zhan is right in what he said. We have no advantage in joining the Liaodong County camp." The Gu family has been operating in the Southland for many years and is a veritable local snake. When he went to Liaodong County, everything had to be started from scratch. Got there first.

Gu Huaisheng smiled bitterly, "There's nothing we can do about it. Who made us fall behind others? God will reward those who take the lead generously."

"But our Gu family is not as popular as the Ji family in Liaodong County. Your second brother went there this time and offended that place again."

"I think the second brother is reckless and this matter is not irreparable."

"How to remedy it?"

"I'm thinking about letting one of our Gu family talkers take him to Liaodong County again."

The head of the Gu family asked him, "Going to Liaodong County? Should you go or should I go?"

Gu Huaisheng was silent, that was indeed what he meant. Either he or his grandfather could go.

"Huaisheng, do you believe that as soon as our Gu family members board the ship, Xie Zhan will take action against the Gu family?"

"Xie Zhan can really do this." During this period, the Xie family and the Lu family joined forces, and the banks, restaurants, and clothing stores opened by both parties squeezed the Liu and Zhang families.

"Everyone has internal and external enemies. Since you choose to be someone else's enemy, don't blame them for being ruthless." Patriarch Gu said calmly.

Gu Huaisheng thought about it and found that it was indeed the case.

Patriarch Gu: "Last point, have you ever thought about it? After Xie Zhan takes over the Southland, if we withdraw from the Southland, we will probably have to give up half of the family business."

Gu Huaisheng naturally knew that it was impossible to withdraw from the Southland with all assets and tail.

"You should know what kind of situation will result from this situation."

The words of Patriarch Gu made Gu Huaisheng feel heavy in his heart.

"But it's not okay to stay in the south with your heart in Liaodong. Xie Zhan won't allow it." It's not okay to be in Cao Ying and have your heart in Han Dynasty.

This won't work, that won't work either, it's too difficult to make a decision.

Patriarch Gu picked up the tea and drank it slowly. The grandfather and grandson were silent for a long time.

Patriarch Gu finished his cup of ginseng tea and said, "Huaisheng, what kind of person do you think Xie Zhan is?"

"He is ruthless and extremely cruel."

Patriarch Gu nodded, "Huaisheng, there are always only winners and losers in this world. If a person or even a family or a force wants to develop, especially in the initial stage, they really have to do everything possible and not be restricted. So, is there a problem with being cruel to the enemy?”

"It is unfair for you to demand Xie Zhan with such a high moral standard."

Gu Huaisheng looked at his grandfather in surprise. He understood that his grandfather was leaning towards Xie Zhan. Grandfather and grandson disagree.

Gu Huaisheng's scalp was numb, "Grandpa, staying in the South and joining Xie Zhan's camp is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger."

Patriarch Gu has a different view, "A person has different goals at each stage. Xie Zhan is a person who does big things. His vision is long-term and is not limited to the Southland. He is not a lone wolf, he needs allies , need subordinates.”

"After we join him, we belong to the same force. We are both prosperous and devastated. There are many things that he cannot eliminate." If you want to live well in this world, reputation is still very important.

At this age, the old Patriarch Gu wants stability. Besides, Gu's roots are in the Southland. If he can't beat them, he has no choice but to join.

Gu Huaisheng was dumbfounded and still couldn't accept it.

Patriarch Gu sighed, "Liaodong County does not have a good layout, so we have to stabilize the situation in the base camp. Or do you have the courage to abandon half of the family business, resolutely evacuate the south, and go to Liaodong County to make a promising future?"

Gu Huaisheng shook his head with difficulty.

Seeing his grandson like this, Patriarch Gu decided to reveal another piece of news, "Now in Liaodong County, the person making the plans is a woman. Did you know?"

"Female?" Gu Huaisheng was surprised.

Not to mention the grandson's surprise, Patriarch Gu was also surprised when he found out about it.

Women-dominated forces have natural flaws.

Being dominated by women, it is destined to be more difficult than men.

Jifu

At this time, Ji Wuyin already knew what Gu Er was doing in Liaodong County from his eldest son, and he immediately paid close attention to what was going on in Gu's house.

When Gu Huaisheng didn't come to him at the first time and learned that Xie Zhan had secretly climbed the gate of Gu's house, Ji Wuyin sighed, "Gu family is confused." At the same time, he suddenly became alert.

"Dad?" Young Master Ji didn't understand.

"Gu family's position may change..."

Hearing his father's speculation, Young Master Ji was speechless, "No, how could this be?"

Some time ago, they were still hand in hand, saying that they would go to Liaodong County together to open up a new battlefield. Now... is Gu family so fickle?

"Don't go out carelessly recently. Be careful of others' calculations." Once Gu family turned against them, their Ji family became a thorn in Xie Zhan's eyes.

Ji Wuyin finished speaking, and then denied it, "Forget it, tomorrow morning, you should board the ship to the north, and take a batch of valuables with you." Move, must move! Slowly shift the focus.

Young Master Ji was dumbfounded. No, he just got home!

Liaodong County, Houcheng

At this time, Lv Songli was seeing off Wu Ren and his party.

They were going to open trade routes and shops in other places.

Their soaps, papers, books, glass mirrors and other items were very unique and competitive, and they would definitely sell well.

The other two disciples of Master Zhan also came to Houcheng recently. They came with their families, so they were a little slower, but now they have settled down.

Lv Songli believed that there would be more and more items produced in Liaodong County in the future.
