Chapter 12 Cause and effect and truth (Chinese)

The economic index of Green Willow City has been falling again and again. Wang Dafu originally thought it was caused by the discooperation of several major commercial giants in the territory, but the words of Qiao Er Master Qiao Zhishun brought him a considerable impact and confusion.

"Is it not caused by major chambers of commerce at all...but for another reason..." Wang Dafu looked at it for a moment, and saw that Qiao Zhishun's surprised expression was not like a fake, so he murmured to himself and fell into deep thought.

Seeing Wang Dafu's sad look, Qiao Zhishun had no intention of continuing to remind him. He always sat aside with a faint smile.

A moment later, the original system prompt flashed through his mind. Wang Dafu suddenly felt shocked and immediately thought of a possibility, because in the rumors, the most mysterious ninth elder was an alien, but... it could not be like this, right? This is too incredible!

Looking up gently, Wang Dafu frowned and looked at Qiao Zhishun, and said in disbelief: "Can you say... that Ninth Elder... this is impossible!"

Hearing Wang Dafu's question, a hint of relief flashed across Qiao Zhishang's face, and then shook his head and said, "It's related to other people's privacy. Zhishang dares not speak nonsense, please forgive me!" Although he didn't say it explicitly, the expression on his face had completely confirmed Wang Dafu's guess, but this answer also completely shocked Wang Dafu.

"No wonder the identity of the ninth elder of the Merchant Alliance is so mysterious, no wonder that the boy is so arrogant every time, always with superior virtue, no wonder that the merchant suddenly evacuated..." All the questions were solved. The reason why the fat man lost his composure was so completely because the information was too amazing.

Going with the flow, he will be the master of merchants. Among the nine elders of the East Continental Merchant Alliance, there is really a player!

If this news spreads, I am afraid that the entire "Life" will be in an uproar! The "Merchant Alliance" is already one of the existences close to the peak of power in the entire game, and the "Nine Elders" are the highest-ranking existences in the entire East Continent business world. In this level of organization, there are players in this level... Although there have been some rumors, when the news was really confirmed, even Wang Dafu was a little doubtful that this would be a system bug or a cheating game company!

"Damn... merchants are really the super group that can accept new things the most~~ Only they can do such things..." He shook his head helplessly, counting the top management institutions of the Eastern Continent such as the Medical Association, the Military Academy, the Taoist Sect, etc., but only this group of merchants who value the word "interest" can make a player one of the highest elders without considering other factors.

Shaking his head and throwing these gossip ideas aside. Wang Dafu finally calmed down from the shock. Then he suddenly thought of a question and felt a little dumbfounded: "Damn it! Although I have estimated that Suibo's strength is very high, if he is really the master of merchants and the ninth elder of the merchant alliance, wouldn't that mean... I still think of him a little too low? If there is a conflict with him like this, it seems to be a little unwise~~" When Wang Dafu felt a little regretful and carefully considered whether he should find a way to ease the conflict between the two sides, suddenly Qiao Zhishun's voice came again.

"Actually, my elder brother has something to tell the master today..." After hesitating for a moment, Qiao Zhishu continued to whisper: "Because of some recent objective reasons, our Qiao family and Mr. Fan's Huanxi Chamber of Commerce plan to reduce their investment share in Green Liu City to a certain extent, and the previous investment will also be withdrawn. The specific number will be officially notified in three days."

"What are you saying? The Qiao family and Huanxi Chamber of Commerce are preparing to withdraw their investment?" Qiao Zhisun's words were not finished. Wang Dafu's pupils had suddenly tightened. Although his expression had not changed, a cold light flashed in his eyes and his voice became a little darker: "What are you? Are you threatening me? Because I expelled the go-to-go and threatened me? Or are you planning to let me go back on my word and take it back and apologize to the go-to-go-go and apologize to the go-to-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-

"No, this should be just a normal business decision..." Qiao Zhishang seemed not to notice Wang Dafu's expression, and then concealed it and continued to persuade him with great thoughts: "The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. In fact, why should the master be more concerned about some slight conflict of intention... Alas~~ You should think more." Finally, he found that Wang Dafu's eyes were not good, so Qiao Zhishang consciously stopped talking, but saw that Wang Dafu's expression was neither sad nor happy, and there was no emotion in his cold eyes. However, an inexplicable sense of pressure surged out of his body. Even though Qiao Zhishang had seen many noble people in his journey, he couldn't help but feel a little astringent in his mouth when he looked at such a gaze.

After staring at him quietly for a moment, Wang Dafu said calmly and slowly, "Mr. Qiao Er, you said just now. This is just some of the conflicts between me and Suibo, and it is also the personal grudge between us. But I don't know that the people of your Qiao family and Huanxi Chamber of Commerce suddenly got involved. They also proposed to withdraw investment as a condition to threaten me, but why?" He paused slightly. Wang Dafu's tone became a little strange and continued, "Normal business decisions? Do you think my IQ is very low? But it's okay for this Huanxi Chamber of Commerce, but your Qiao family is the one who is in the Green Willow City to punish the Qingke Empire and rescue you. Now you will threaten me for an outsider. Hum~~ I don't know what benefits the ninth elder has given you Qiao family?"

Wang Dafu's words were heartbroken every sentence. Qiao Zhishang's expression was very ugly when hesitated. He hesitated for a while before answering: "Master, don't misunderstand. Although he is not the head of the Qiao family, he firmly believes that his brother is not an ungrateful person, just..." He hesitated for a while, Qiao Zhishang continued: "But Master, you must understand that the dignity of the Grand Master cannot be provoked, let alone that he is one of the elders of our business alliance, so..."

When Wang Dafu heard this, he laughed instead: "Haha~~ Master Qiao Er, you are kind-hearted, I understand, but what you said really makes sense! The dignity of the master cannot be provoked? Then should I let my Lord of Green Willow City be flattened? Could it be that the elder of the Shang League is a human being, and I, the Lord of Green Willow City, is not a human being?"

With a cold smile, Wang Dafu said Duanrong: "Young Master Qiao Er, you are kind-hearted. I understand. Please ask Brother Ling to remind the landlord of the Huanxi Chamber of Commerce. We had a agreement between us at the beginning. If they really want to act alone, we will solve it according to the system's laws and rules!" At this point, Wang Dafu stopped and looked at Qiao Zhishen deeply, and then continued: "As for your Qiao family... there is a public opinion on the right and wrong, I don't want to say anything more, so let Brother Ling take care of it!" After saying that, he stood up and left without caring about it.

As soon as I walked to the door, I heard Qiao Zhishun persuade him anxiously: "Master, don't be impulsive! The Merchant Alliance is powerful, why don't you bear the momentary indignation? What I said this time is selfless, please understand!"

Hearing this passage, Wang Dafu stopped and said slowly: "Joe...Brother Qiao, I also know that your words are from public intentions and that the strength of the Shang Alliance is extremely powerful. But if they want to use this to suppress others, then let them try whether my big city lord's bones are hard enough!" After saying that, he smiled faintly and left quietly without saying a word.

When he just learned that going with the flow was the elder of the Eastern Continental Commercial Alliance, Wang Dafu actually planned to ease the conflict with him. After all, there was a struggle between the two of them, and it seemed that there was no need to provoke such a big opponent for this.

However, the sudden withdrawal of investment by the Qiao family and Huanxi Chamber of Commerce completely aroused the bloodiness hidden in Wang Dafu's heart. Although the fat man seemed to be greedy and stingy, and was not a passionate young man, in fact, he has his own principles. When he was touched by someone, Wang Dafu was definitely "thank you to break the jade than to make a complete life"!

This behavior of Qiao Fan and the other two families and Qiao Zhishu then pointed out the words "The dignity of a master cannot be provoked". To be honest, it was actually kind to remind Wang Dafu, but in Wang Dafu's opinion, this was simply a naked threat. What Wang Dafu hated the most was that others threatened him, so Wang Dafu flatly rejected Qiao Zhishu's suggestions!

In fact, at this time, because of the unnecessary actions of the merchant alliance, the battle between Wang Dafu and the drifting spirit that had quietly changed. This was unexpected by both of them at the beginning, and the storm caused by successive events was even more unexpected to everyone...

In the afternoon of the same day, Fan Qingqing, the general manager of the Tangfeng Empire of Huanxi Chamber of Commerce, personally went to Luliu City to meet Wang Dafu and officially announced the decision of Huanxi Chamber of Commerce to withdraw 50% of its investment in Luliu City!

The next day, the East Continental Business Alliance officially issued an announcement, requiring the city lord of Green Willow City to explain and apologize for his actions! In response, Wang Dafu's answer... was a silent middle finger.

However, during this series of ups and downs, the Luliu Qiao family never made any moves, but Mr. Qiao, who had already lived in seclusion, suddenly appeared in Qiaojiabao again.

...Three months later, Qiao, the contemporary head of the Qiao family, wrote a letter to abdicate and gave way to the wise, and Qiao Zhiyong, the third young master who received Wang Dafu's life-saving grace, took over the position of the head of the family again.
