Chapter 325 Annexing the Wang Family
At a dinner party, everyone had a great time chatting, and even Lin Yu got drunk in the end.
Only Wang Cheng and his son kept their expressions blank. They said little during the entire banquet and didn't eat much of the food.
"Magistrate Lin, thank you for your hospitality. We will see you another day."
Walking to the door, Lin Xiao said goodbye with a smile, but when he turned his head, his expression changed instantly.
"Dad, the food in Zuixian Tower is really delicious. And I think the price of the food is similar to Qianling Tower."
Lin Yu shook his body and praised him. At this time, he could not stand firmly, so he naturally could not notice Lin Xiao's face gradually darkening.
"waste."
When Lin Xiao saw his son's expression of resentment, he raised his hand and wanted to hit him. Lin Yu was so frightened that he sobered up and stepped back.
Seeing his appearance, Lin Xiao sighed slightly. After all, he was reluctant to take action. Instead, he said to the guard next to him:
"Don't embarrass yourself here, drag him home."
"Dad, I can walk, I can walk."
Lin Yu said quickly, and then stabilized his body.
When everyone returned home, Lin Xiao immediately went to find Duanmu Liangchuan. Now, he has completely relied on this counselor.
"Brother Duanmu, something bad is happening!"
Duanmu Liangchuan was reading a book and felt a little confused when he saw Lin Xiao's appearance.
Wasn't it just to have a meal at Magistrate Lin's restaurant? Why would it be like this?
Could it be that County Magistrate Lin is taking action again?
Thinking about it, he cheered up and said:
"Clan Chief Lin, please sit down and speak slowly."
"Brother Duanmu, a few days ago, didn't Lin Xiaofan ask me to ask the Wang family about two restaurants? I thought Lin Xiaofan was just on a whim, but I didn't expect that he was already prepared."
"He got the secret recipe from nowhere, and the food he made tastes great, and everyone praised it. If this trend continues, the Wang family's business will be greatly affected."
"The Wang family mainly relies on the restaurant business. If all the business is taken away, it may affect our relationship!"
Lin Xiao preached anxiously.
The three companies have been cooperating for many years, and they seem to have a deep friendship, but in fact they are all just for profit.
If the Wang family cannot make money and the Lin family is closely related to this matter, then the two families will most likely break up.
Hearing this, Duanmu Liangchuan's face darkened, and after thinking for a moment he said:
"If this matter is not handled well, there may be no more business with the Wang family in the future."
"The two restaurants owned by County Magistrate Lin are both called Zuixianlou. I didn't understand it at first, but now I understand. He wants to make the reputation of Zuixianlou famous, and then open more branches in the city to attract all the customers. In your own hands.”
"If the Wang family can no longer do business, they will sell the restaurants at low prices. Lin Xiaofan will then take these restaurants into his own hands."
After listening to Duanmu Liangchuan's explanation, Lin Xiao's expression changed again.
The various industries in the entire Degao Town have been divided among the major families. If anyone else wants to get involved, they will encounter joint resistance from the major families.
And the fact that he personally went to help County Magistrate Lin ask for a restaurant showed that the matter was tacitly approved by the Wang, Xiang, and Lin families, and it did not involve the interests of the Xun family and the Yan family. Naturally, the two families would not have trouble with Lin Xiaofan.
In other words, half of Lin Xiaofan's ability to reach out to the restaurant industry is due to him.
It was okay that Lin Xiaofan was just making a small fuss. If he took away all the business of the restaurant, the Wang family would definitely blame him.
"What should we do?"
Lin Xiao calmed down and asked eagerly.
After Duanmu Liangchuan thought for a moment, he said:
"I have two plans. One is to start with County Magistrate Lin and find a way to prevent him from entering into the restaurant business. A strong confrontation will only hurt both sides. It will create a feud from now on. It's not worth doing this for the Wang family."
"You can secretly send people to ruin the reputation of Zuixian Tower behind your back, and at the same time, deceive people from the big family not to go to Zuixian Tower. This way you have a chance to achieve it."
Hearing this, Lin Xiao shook his head slightly.
This plan is too risky. Once discovered, Lin Xiaofan may break with the Lin family, and the Lin family will be unable to move forward in Degao Town.
He would never act like this unless absolutely necessary.
"The other plan is to appease the Wang family. Isn't it impossible for the Wang family to build a restaurant business? You gather all the major families in the city and negotiate with them to give a portion of their property to the Wang family."
Duanmu Liangchuan said again.
After hearing this strategy, Lin Xiao nodded slightly.
The Lin family has a great business, so it doesn't hurt to give up some of the property. The Prime Minister's family obeys his orders, and this matter may be possible with a lot of persuasion. But the Yan family has never dealt with them, so they will definitely not agree to this. Although the Xun family was weak, it was impossible for them to give up their property in vain.
"Brother Duanmu, this can be done, but it's difficult."
Lin Xiao summed it up, and the property that needed to be given up was enough to make him feel painful for a while. But for the sake of the alliance between the two families, I might give it a try.
"Brother Duanmu, please observe for a while. If Lin Xiaofan really takes away all the Wang family's business, then I will do as you say."
He made up his mind and immediately stood up to plan the matter, but he happened to see Duanmu Liangchuan looking like he was hesitating to speak, so he stopped immediately.
"Brother Duanmu, is there anything else you want to say?"
Lin Xiao asked with some confusion.
Duanmu Liangchuan nodded slightly when he heard this:
"I did think of another plan, but this plan is very important, so I should think about it for a few more days."
"It doesn't matter, Brother Duanmu, tell me first so I can make preparations."
Lin Xiao said anxiously. If you can avoid offending Lin Xiaofan and don't need him to give in, that would be great.
Duanmu Liangchuan hesitated for a long time, then slowly said:
"This... I dare to ask Chief Lin, if we ignore the Wang family, what will be the consequences?"
Hearing this, Lin Xiao's expression changed and he immediately reacted.
Yes, why do they have to form an alliance with the Wang family?
Wang Cheng, the head of the Wang family, is hesitant to do anything, and his son is just a playboy. The reason we cooperated with him before was because the Yan family was once so powerful that the three clans could work together to stabilize one end and seek greater benefits.
But now that the Lin family has become the first family in Degao Town, looking at the other families, the Yan family is gradually declining and is no longer a match for the Lin family. People of the Xun family have always been timid and only guarded their own one-third of an acre of land. After this incident, the Wang family may be in a worse situation than the Yan family.
In this way, he only needs to unite with the Xiang family and please Magistrate Lin to gain a firm foothold in Degao Town and continue to expand the family's strength.
Anyway, the alliance between the two races is only for profit. Now as long as Lin Xiaofan can annex the Wang family's property, he can also join in the soup, why not?
"Just doing this may lead to an unjust reputation."
Duanmu Liangchuan shook his head.
"Brother Duanmu, our two clans have formed an alliance for profit, and there is nothing unjust. If the Lin family declines one day, the Wang family will annex us without hesitation."
Lin Xiao's eyes gradually became fierce and he said slowly.
After this incident, none of the key members of the Wang family could be retained.
"Clan leader, Wang Cheng of the Wang family is here to visit!"
