However, at this moment, Ma Dongcai laughed.
And he burst into laughter, as if he was extremely pleased with himself.
The laughter gradually subsided, and he then glanced at everyone before proudly announcing his arrival.
"Let me tell you the truth! I have the support of the richest man in China, Zhao. From now on, my Ma family is a subsidiary of the richest man in China, Zhao. Anyone who dares to oppose me is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, going against the richest man in China!"
Upon hearing this, everyone showed expressions of shock.
Good heavens, no wonder Ma Dongcai dares to be so arrogant, it turns out he's hooked up with Zhao, the richest man in China!
Zhao, the richest man, is known to everyone. He's on the Forbes list and his influence is immense in Harbin.
To Zhao, the richest man, small families like Yuan Lou's are like flies and mosquitoes.
Yuan Hong and Lou Tai's expressions changed at this moment.
No wonder Ma Dongcai was so arrogant; it turns out he was acquired by Zhao, the richest man in China.
Now, they'd better think twice before joining forces to deal with Ma Dongcai. After all, he's backed by Zhao, the richest man in China; offending Zhao is tantamount to courting death.
"How about it? Are you all scared now?"
Ma Dongcai was very smug and immediately said, "I won't lie to you. Today, the richest man Zhao came to the outskirts of the city for an inspection at my invitation. I have already arranged to have dinner with him here. Yuan Hong, Lou Tai, the richest man Zhao will be here soon. It's not too late for you to back down now! As long as you kneel down and kowtow to me, I can spare you!"
What? Richest man Zhao is coming soon?
Everyone was taken aback!
No one expected that Ma Dongcai would be able to invite Zhao, the richest man in China, to come!
Lou Tai's expression kept twitching.
The Lou family absolutely cannot afford to offend a big shot like Zhao, the richest man in the country!
He looked at Yuan Hong and said, "Brother Yuan, I'm afraid our situation is hopeless. Perhaps..."
His idea was that it would be better to bow down and submit to the Ma family for now, even if it meant ceding territory and paying reparations, and giving up some property.
Let's get through this hurdle first!
But Yuan Hong coldly replied, "He's just a bully relying on his master's power. Zhao, the richest man, is upright and honest. I believe he won't do anything reckless. Don't listen to this guy surnamed Ma's bluff!"
Ma Dongcai shook his head. "Yuan Hong, you're still being stubborn! What do you think Zhao, the richest man in China, relied on to become the richest man? Face reality, don't make futile struggles!"
Everyone nodded in agreement; Ma Dongcai was telling the truth.
To become the richest person in the world, one must have some means; in fact, those means are probably even more bloody and cruel than others!
"What? You're not going to kneel?"
Ma Dongcai sneered and nodded, saying, "Fine, then don't blame me! When Zhao the Richest Man arrives, I'll wipe both of your families out of existence!"
"Hey, wait, wait! Let's talk this over! Brother Ma, oh no, Boss Ma, let's talk this over!"
Lou Tai immediately became anxious and stood up.
He thought for a moment and said, "Well then, didn't you have your eye on the land king in Nantou? I'll give half of our Lou family's land to Boss Ma!"
Everyone was taken aback!
Everyone knows that the land king in Nantou is the Lou family's wealth, and it's expected to make a lot of money in the future. It's the Lou family's most valuable asset, but no one expected that Lou Tai would be willing to give it up!
"dad……"
"Shut up!"
Lou Feng was about to say something when Lou Tai immediately reprimanded him.
He immediately said, "Quickly kowtow to your Uncle Ma! From now on, Boss Ma is your godfather!"
Lou Feng's expression froze instantly.
Ceding territory is bad enough, but forcing him to recognize a godfather is an utter disgrace!
But those with a keen eye for strategy could see that Lou Feng's move was brilliant!
This not only resolved the awkwardness of kowtowing, but also allowed them to become relatives with Ma Dongcai—killing two birds with one stone!
"Old Lou, you!" Yuan Hong was furious. He felt that Lou Tai was too spineless. Before anything had even happened, he had already submitted to Ma Dongcai.
That's a complete traitor!
Lou Tai didn't care about any of that. Seeing that Lou Feng didn't move, he went up and kicked him hard, and Lou Feng immediately knelt down.
"Godfather!" Lou Feng said reluctantly, but still managed to call out.
Hahahaha!
Ma Dongcai burst out laughing on the spot, a very smug laugh.
Subduing the enemy without fighting—that's the effect he wanted. Very good, he's very satisfied.
"Alright, Lao Lou, since you're so sensible, I won't make things difficult for you. Just give me that piece of land that you owned, and I won't touch your Lou family!"
Ma Dongcai looked around and continued, "Listen up, all of you! In my dictionary, there are only friends and enemies. If you don't want to die today, you'd better give me a straight answer, just like the Lou family!"
The group exchanged glances.
They knew that Ma Dongcai wanted to take this opportunity to rule the entire outskirts of the city.
"We, the Zhang family, are willing to offer the properties in the eastern part of our complex as a gift to Boss Ma!"
"Our Li family can contribute 20 million to invest in Boss Ma's company!"
"I...I have a daughter who just turned eighteen this year...I'm willing to be Mr. Ma's mistress!"
One by one, people expressed their opinions, some even selling their own daughters, all in order to please Ma Dongcai.
Ma Dongcai grinned from ear to ear; this was exactly the effect he wanted—he wanted everyone to submit to him.
"Fine, fine, those of you who have expressed your stance, step aside. I want to see who else dares to oppose me, Ma Dongcai!"
As soon as Ma Dongcai said this, everyone quickly moved aside, clearing the space for him.
At this moment, the only ones still present, all alone, are the Yuan family and Lin Yu.
In the crowd, Wang Jinlian and Jin Bei stood together, their faces beaming with smugness.
"Hehe, this Yuan Ye, let's see what he can be so arrogant about now!" Jin Bei sneered, recalling Yuan Ye's aggressive demeanor just now, and now seeing him all alone like a dog, he couldn't be happier.
Wang Jinlian scoffed, "I knew he was a good-for-nothing from the start. Now look what's happened, the Yuan family is completely finished! It's all thanks to you, Young Master Jin. I've always felt that you are my true love!"
Jin Shao felt a churning in his stomach, and felt nauseous and wanted to vomit!
This woman clearly wanted to get back together with Yuan Ye just now, and now she's doing this to him again?
Green tea bitch!
He wanted to slap the woman, but he held back when he thought of the child in her belly.
At this moment, the Yuan family suddenly found themselves in an awkward situation.
Yuan Hong and his siblings sat there, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
They hadn't expected that not a single one of these guys would support the Yuan family.
Yuan Hong said with a stern face, "I invited all of you here today, and many of you have received my kindness. Today, my Yuan family is in trouble, and this is how you treat me, Yuan Hong? Don't you have any conscience?"
Those who were swept by Yuan Hong all lowered their heads, feeling extremely ashamed.
But who can you blame? Ma Dongcai has hooked up with Zhao, the richest man in China. Doesn't the Yuan family know their own limitations?
Now, the Yuan family has only two options for survival: either submit to Ma Dongcai or find someone with an even stronger background than Zhao, the richest man in China, to be their backer.
But is that even possible?
