Chapter 341 - 0341: What Was Said
Shen Congwen hesitated for a moment before, as if having made a significant decision, said: "I came today actually to propose a truce between the Shen Family and the Tang Family on behalf of the Shen Family."
Tang Haowan was surprised, "Oh?"
"In fact, the Shen Family and the Tang Family have been fighting for so long, the ones who ultimately benefit are those minor families. As for our two families, not only did we not benefit but instead we’re covered in wounds."
Tang Haowan quite agreed, nodding his head. Indeed, over these years, they fought so much that those insignificant minor families had slowly developed into major families.
Take the Xiao Family, for example, since they married that Japanese woman, they got tangled up with Japan’s hawkish Yamamoto family. Over these years, the export business in Su City had almost been dominated by the Xiao Family.
"So I’m thinking, can our two families not make peace? The Shen Family mainly deals in medicinal materials, while the Tang Family is in mining and finance. The industries of both families don’t actually conflict. It’s just that because of the fierce battles over the years, both families have dabbled in various industries, and yet, in those industries, neither of our families are the leaders. If this continues, the balance of power in Su City may be changed."
Shen Congwen looked down, let out a somewhat dispirited sigh and said, "I’ve heard that the newly risen Xiao Family has already formed an alliance with the hawkish Yamamoto family in recent years and is planning to make some big moves in Su City next."
Chu Ge didn’t intend to listen to their conversation, but couldn’t help overhearing the words "hawkish Yamamoto family" and immediately looked up at Shen Congwen, "You mean the hawkish Yamamoto family from Japan?"
Shen Congwen blankly nodded, "Yes, the mother of Xiao Jingsheng, Honbari Yinglan, is from the Ying Sect. Through her connection, the Xiao Family has become an important hub for Japan to transport goods to China or for export."
Nangong Man Sha also became alert. She looked at Chu Ge, thinking about the battle on the cruiser in the Public Sea. Several groups had come then, among them the hawkish Yamamoto family from Japan!
