Chapter 19: Cooperate

[ Mian’an City, Yamu Villa District, Inside of He Family’s Mansion POV ]

After He Qianshan finished speaking, the representatives of each family glanced at each other. A middle-aged businessman with a kind face was the first to say with a smile:

“Qianshan is really capable, and he is really a fearsome young man. Will I, your Uncle Li be going to be photographed at the back as one of the people who had helped you, don’t you think so? ”

The speaker looked at the representatives of other families with a smile, and seeing everyone laughing and echoing, Li Changfan turned to the expressionless He Qianshan, and continued to say:

    “Your Uncle Li can be a little bit talkative about being well-informed. I have a satellite phone, and I made a few calls while it was still available. The news I got is that not only our Anguo Country but also the rest of the world. Jingzhou, Qingzhou, Sizhou, Liguo, and Heguo have all fallen and are also in the same situation. Alas, it seems that in a flash, the whole world has changed.”

    The news brought by Li Changfan shocked everyone who had stayed, the atmosphere fell into a dead silence, and the expressions of most people were dark and stiff.

    Many people know that Li Changfan is in the logistics business and has connections with many places in the country and even abroad, but the news he brought is too shocking for people to accept.

    The apocalypse came suddenly, zombies were everywhere, everyone was panicking, waiting for the official rescue, and people tried to stand up to maintain order. But now they suddenly learned that not only our country fell, but also foreign countries and it was all at the same time. Let’s make a bold guess. The world is probably occupied by zombies. In such a situation of total fall, can we really wait for the rescue?

    Not to mention the fact that they live in a place far away from the main city. Mian’an City belongs to Xiazhou State, Xiazhou has about 50,000 state soldiers stationed permanently, even if these 50,000 state soldiers are intact, they are divided into more than 20 counties and cities under the jurisdiction of Xiazhou State, How much can each county and city get?

    As for the armed forces in Mian’an City itself, there is only more than 1,000 security personnel, but yesterday, when the apocalypse came, it was the weekend, and the security personnel did not go to work. Who knows how many security personnel scattered in their homes without weapons, will they survive?

    The Yamu Villa District has gathered many old Mian’an big families, many of whom have a good relationship with the governments, and they can be regarded as the most sensitive group of people. Not to mention that there are still some prosperous families who have their own children working in higher positions, but so far, their organization cannot be contacted at all, and the higher-up seems to have disappeared without any news.

    These doubts were all explained after hearing the news brought by Li Changfan. Under the indiscriminate blow of the last days, the government might collapse directly, and the expectation of any official rescue could probably be given up by now.

    Realizing this, everyone present had new considerations in their hearts.

    Several families exchanged glances in tacit understanding. They were planning to be courteous at first, but the sudden news made them feel even more urgent. So, under the hint of their elders, a young man who worked in the government stood up and rushed forward, and asked He Qianshan:

    “Mr. He, can you explain where the weapon in your hand came from?”

    After saying this, the atmosphere became more silent, but many people’s eyes brightened and looked at He Qianshan. They obviously wanted to know the answer to this question.

    The butler poured a cup of Biluochun tea for He Qianshan. He Qianshan picked up the teacup and took a leisurely sip of tea before he casually raised his eyes to look at the young man who asked the question. After being very mocking, everyone listened to He Qianshan asking back: “What is Mr. Zhao’s standpoint to ask this question?”

    The young man who stood up was momentarily at a loss for words, he really wanted to say that he was asking this question from the standpoint of the country official, but now he can’t even get in touch with the Public Security Bureau, and he has no way to report He Qianshan’s private possession of guns.

    But if he asked from the standpoint of the family, his momentum would immediately weaken. Their family was rescued by He Qianshan, so it would be a bit unreasonable to ask him the other way around.

    Feeling the ridicule or questioning gazes from everyone, especially the pressure from He Qianshan, the young man became anxious and subconsciously looked at his elders.

    His father coughed twice quickly, drawing everyone’s attention to himself, and then said to He Qianshan with a face of shame:

    “Patriarch He, please don’t mind him. My son has just left office, and he is too angry, so he doesn’t know the severity of his words. Please forgive him, if there is any offense”.

  “Ah, what he said just now has no other meaning. He just wanted to ask, Patriarch He, can you share your contact channel with everyone? The current situation is difficult, everyone wants to have a life-saving gadget in their hands, so they want to get your supplier and take a ride, what do you think?”

    Seeing that his son’s method didn’t work, this old Mr. Zhao went off in person, and bluntly stated their real purpose, which was to know the method and channel for He Qianshan to obtain guns and weapons.

    Obviously, 90% of the people gathered in the He Family Mansion at this time came for this purpose. Hearing Mr. Zhao’s words, everyone’s eyes focused on He Qianshan again, and some anxious people even leaned forward, looking like they wanted to step forward and open He Qianshan’s mouth.

    He Qianshan lowered his head and took a sip of tea. Amidst the fragrance of the tea, his expression was difficult to distinguish, and his voice in reply sounded vague and indistinct:

    “I understand Mr. Zhao’s meaning. I don’t know what price Mr. Zhao is willing to pay for the weapons. “

    “Patriarch He, now is not the time to focus on profit in the business field. This is a matter of life and death, and Patriarch He should not be stingy.” Mr. Zhao’s expression was smiling, but his voice was threatening, “Besides, so many of us are here waiting, Master He can’t let us down…”

    He Qianshan raised his eyes and said calmly. Looking back, he was not afraid of Mr. Zhao’s threats at all and waited for his answer straightforwardly.

    “Patriarch He, it’s not that we’re not authentic. You probably don’t recognize how hard to negotiate and bargain at this time, so what else can we get out? My old man was fond of antiques during his lifetime, you can choose whatever you want from the old man’s treasury or collection at will, I just ask for a piece of news from you, how about it?”

    Another person interrupted to break the atmosphere and continued to ask about the news from the weapon channel.

    But He Qianshan still sat firmly like a mountain, unmoving at all.

    Seeing this, the faces of everyone in the hall became even more ugly. He Qianshan’s performance clearly showed that he was not going to share with everyone who he got the weapon from. As for the other people who want weapons? It’s very simple, they have to get them from He Qianshan.

    As for how much difference a middleman like He Qianshan would make, it’s up to them, if they had to bear it themselves or they suffer.

    Several families who gathered in the hall of the He Family Mansion exchanged a few cryptic glances. He Qianshan did not let the scheming and intimidating ones affect him or didn’t change his mind. He’s a very tough nut to crack.

    Some people looked around, and there was no one from the Yang family, who could match up with the He Family’s prestige. As well as, no one can play the role of playing the emotional card.

    No matter how thick-skinned the few families who joined forces in advance, they are embarrassed to play the emotional card. There is no other reason to do that. Five years ago, the previous head of the He family directly bypassed his son’s generation in the selection as the new head but passed on being the new head of the family to his grandson He Qianshan, who had not yet graduated at the time. He doesn’t know how many people secretly waited to see the joke.

    Moreover, the shopping mall is like a battlefield. Taking advantage of the turbulent period of the power transfer of the He family, several families present rushed forward to wait for the opportunity to take advantage and get a piece of the big pie.

    No one expected that He Qianshan, who was so young and unreliable, was so capable and boldly introduced the Internet Thinking Management Model, which not only stabilized the He family’s business but also injected new vitality into the ancient He family. On the contrary, he has been high-spirited all the way, firmly sitting in the position of the largest taxpayer in the country

    Faced with this young man who has suppressed the older generation who are still in power, many seniors who have held important positions for many years are naturally not happy to see him, so the relationship with the He Family has been very ordinary these years. Even if he wanted to play the emotional card, he didn’t have to. Could it be that He Qianshan forget that they cared, hugged, and carried him when he was just born?

    Dissatisfied with He Qianshan’s response, for a while, the few family members who had nothing to do with him calmed down unwillingly, thinking hard to find a breakthrough.     

He Qianshan looked around the people at the scene, and said abruptly: “If we cooperate with the wooden house by the Xinghu Lake, I am still very willing.”

Some of them had blank expressions and dazed eyes.

    He Qianshan felt pity that he couldn’t see the flaw, but he didn’t force it.

    He thought, even if there were people in the Yamu Villa District who had acquired special talents like him, their talents would not seem to pose a threat to each other. On the contrary, there was a possibility of cooperation.

    At this time, some people who hadn’t spoken before also began to offer conditions, including the proposal of exchanging money, artwork, and antiques for weapons, but He Qianshan rejected all of them.

    Some people may still have expectations for the currency system, but He Qianshan knows very well that both banknotes and electronic accounts have collapsed.

    As for art and antiques?

   The He family has a lot of collections, and the most important reason is that He Qianshan himself is not interested in these things, so he directly rejected them.

    In addition, several companies offered to exchange materials, information, and manpower. He Qianshan was still a little interested, so he clicked on the names of several companies and invited them to stay and continue talking. As for the other families, He Qianshan put down the teacup in his hand to directly signal to see the other guests off.

    They send away those who did not receive the extended invitation, so they had to get up and leave. The only good news is that thanks to He Qianshan, the Yamu Villa District has been cleaned up, and everyone can walk out of the house.

    Among the people who were left behind, there were two families who were willing to provide manpower support were the first to be resolved. Both of these two families had a good cooperative relationship with He Qianshan before the end of the world. As long as there are enough supplies to eat and use. They can let He Qianshan manage everything.

    In the end, three young people were left behind by the two families and they also left the He Family Mansion.

    He Qianshan waved his hand to signal Han Qinmin to take the three young people for simple training. So far, there were still three families left in the hall, namely Li Changfan who was engaged in logistics, the Gu family from a medical family, and the Zhang family who also ran a physical supermarket.
