Douluo: A Century-old Legend I Am the Second Uncle Chenxin

Chen Cong interrupted coldly: "Then how do you plan to deal with the Tianlang Sect?"

Chen Yu chuckled and lowered his eyes, "Tianlang Sect, humph, I was planning to let the family come out gently and quietly lay out the northwest."

"But now, since Xiaojun has been attacked, we must establish our authority."

Upon hearing this, Chen Cong's eyes became even colder, but he did not refute.

The family's direct descendant was attacked and nearly died tragically. If he doesn't establish his authority, there's no need for him to come out. Otherwise, no one will take the Chen family seriously.

Chen Yu then turned around and said, "Xiaoying, you must continue to pay close attention to the developments in various aspects in the next few days, and report any disturbances in a timely manner."

"Yes, Master Yu!" Xia Ying paused for a moment, then continued, "Also, I have something else to report to you two masters."

Chen Yu raised his eyebrows and uttered a word: "Speak!"

Xia Ying turned her head and glanced at Chen Xiaojun, then continued, "Two days ago, the young master asked me to torture and hypnotize the captured Po Yue Soul Emperor, and by the way, find out why he fell into such a state of despair that he became a killer of the Unkind Building."

After hearing this, Chen Yu also glanced at Chen Xiaojun, and then showed some interest on his face: "Oh? So what did you find?"

Xia Ying sorted out her words and replied, "According to him, the Haotian Sect has been suppressing their Breaking the Mountain Giant Hammer lineage for the past few hundred years, but strangely, in recent decades, they seem to be interested in recruiting them."

"This change caused a stir among them. Although some people agreed, others opposed it, and the debate was very heated."

"However, overall, the voices in favor of returning to the Haotian Sect have the upper hand."

"After all, they have not lived a happy life these years. If they refuse, I am afraid it will lead to more severe suppression from the Haotian Sect."

She paused for a moment and continued, "And this Soul Emperor Poyue was one of those who strongly opposed returning. He ran away from home more than a decade ago."

"Later, by coincidence, he joined Bu Ren Lou halfway through."

"He is not a direct assassin. He was originally just a hired assassin to earn some extra money. With years of hard work and outstanding achievements, he obtained a lot of resources and broke through to the high-level Soul Emperor."

"It is also because of his dedication that he won the trust of the people in charge of the Northwest Branch. His current status is between the direct lineage and the hired killers."

Chen Xiaojun understood immediately, and he said softly: "So that's how it is. This explains why he chose to be a killer."

Chen Yu nodded slightly, with a satisfied light in his eyes, "Okay, we know about this, you can go down. Remember, the Chen family will not let go of anyone who dares to hurt our family members."

Cheng Yun and Xia Ying responded in unison, then turned and left the hall.

Chen Xiaojun asked with some confusion: "Grandpa, what do you mean by the layout of the Northwest?"

Chen Yu smiled slightly and explained, "You don't know that this northwest region is where the power of the Tiandou royal family is least exposed."

"These three western provinces are different from the southeastern Tusk Province and the northern Tianshui Province. The land routes are blocked by the Kingdom of Silves."

"There are many mountain ranges in the northwest, and the Yangtze River is not enough for navigation. Going upstream is also troublesome. Although the Kingdom of Silves has been deeply infiltrated by the Empire, there are still many inconveniences."

"The three provinces in the northwest, plus the three kingdoms, are vast, with various forces intertwined and the situation extremely complicated. It is also the intersection where several superpowers secretly compete. It is the most complicated place on the continent after the Three Rivers Basin."

He paused and continued, "And our family's allies in the northwest, the Ximen family, the Zhong family, the Ma family, the Gui family, and the Fang family are all here and should not be underestimated."

"Now, we have established a good friendship with Poseidon Island. If we manage it well, we will have a chance to stand out and become the spokesperson for the entire northwest region of the continent."

"In fact, this is one of the important reasons why the family decided to come back."

Chen Xiaojun's heart moved, and he thought to himself: "Is this the so-called Douluo version of 'horse racing and land grabbing'?"

An inexplicable excitement surged in his heart.

These strategic goals and plans reminded him of the years when he was a small boss in his previous life, which was a goal of expanding the company from small to large and developing it into an industry leader.

This feeling made his blood boil, and he was eager to try and full of passion.

He took a deep breath and sighed: "Geographical economics cannot determine the lower limit, but it can really determine the upper limit."

Chen Yu agreed and nodded, "Indeed, geographical location, resource distribution, and the balance of forces among all parties are key factors that determine how far a family or organization can go."

"That's why," Chen Yu continued, "the family fully supports your plan for the medicinal materials trade market."

"The economy comes first. It can quietly promote the integration and development of various forces, jointly make the new pie bigger, and unite all forces that can be united."

At this time, Chen Cong interrupted and said, "Oh, speaking of this, Xilijia Daogao and Shen Lang both visited us a few days ago."

The Xili Family and the Shen Family are the second and third largest families in the Chen Family branch respectively. Both of them possess top-level seventh-grade martial spirits and are quite powerful.

Chen Yu raised his eyebrows in confusion and asked, "What are they doing here?"

Chen Cong put down the teacup in his hand and said calmly, "What else can I do? Of course, I am here to ask about the specific decision of the family to leave the mountain and what their position is. After all, the family leaving the mountain is also a big deal for these branches."

"Not to mention the profits brought by the medicinal materials market. Our medicinal materials market was built by Daogao's son Junyi. The old prodigal is in Chang'an City, so he naturally heard the news and made a move."

Chen Yu's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Then how did you reply?"

Chen Cong chuckled, "I said we should discuss it together after some time. At that time, we left 40% of the medicinal materials market share to the family, and there is enough quota for them. When the time comes, let Yunxiao discuss it with them in detail."

At this time, Chen Xiaojun interrupted at the right time and said, "Grandpa, Second Uncle, I think it's best to deal with it separately. The Shen family is in Chang'an City and can share the share of Chang'an's medicinal materials market, while the Xili tribe is in the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom, not far from us."

"We can operate this medicinal materials market for half a year, then open another market over there. At that time, we can consider incorporating the Xili family and give them a certain share of the profits."

He paused and continued, "The model of the medicinal materials market is too easy to imitate. We must seize the time and accelerate expansion. We and our branches should have enough personnel reserves."

"Even if it's not enough, didn't we plan to deepen our cooperation with the Ning family a few days ago? They have plenty of manpower."

Chen Cong could not help but nod his head, "It's a matter of manpower. There's no need to use the Ning family's support right now."

"However, the strategic partnership agreement you proposed last time for comprehensive cooperation with the Ning family's Seven Treasures Glazed Tower is really a good proposal. Ning Jiang should bring us news in the next few days."

Chen Yu said, "There should be news soon. I have sent a message to ask Old Hong to take a leave and come back. He may bring back a reply from the Ning family."

Chen Cong looked at Chen Xiaojun with admiration in his eyes, "Brother, I think we can adopt Xiaojun's family proposal and set up an Economic Department and a Research Department. I think Xiaojun should be in charge of the Economic Department."

Chen Xiaojun waved his hands hurriedly, "No, no, no, I'm still young and can't bear this responsibility."

Chen Cong laughed loudly, "A man of ambition is not young, and a man of experience is his teacher! When it comes to playing this so-called economics game, you know more about it than any of us."

Chen Yu stroked his chin, thinking, and did not respond immediately.
