Chapter 172 Dispute
The third elder was the last one among the four who learned about the convening of the family meeting, sitting in his seat with a gloomy face.
"Second elder, did you know that the family will hold this family meeting?" The third elder asked the second elder who was sitting next to him, who looked up at him and said, "Unfortunately, it was a day or two earlier than you, but Seeing that you are busy with business, I didn't bother you."
The third elder almost vomited blood, he was so busy, it was just because of the incident between Bai Mingjiang and Lin Wen, the third elder understood it, talking about his nephew Uncle Xiao, Lin Wen's temperament was really similar to that of the Patriarch, they were just as annoying People hate.
In some respects, he has the same views as the Second Elder. As a twin, one should be more submissive like a daughter, so that one can marry a husband and teach children in the future. Wouldn’t it be a mess if they were all like Bai Yi? The men are all directed by Bai Yi, a pair of sons, and the old face is completely humiliated.
The third elder gave the second elder a hard look, but after the latter finished speaking, he lowered his eyes and sat quietly again, no matter how hard the stare was, it would have no effect.
The third elder finally understands that the second elder has changed his mind and judged others by himself. I don’t know what kind of benefits the Patriarch and the First Elder have promised to make this stubborn old man sway. This is not a good thing. What's the big deal?The third elder began to feel a sense of crisis in his heart.
The stewards of the various courts and the heads of the business houses who could come gathered in the meeting hall. There were two or thirty people in this sitting, half of them were from the Bai clan and half from people with other surnames. They were all involved in the affairs of the family and the business. have the right to speak.After everyone arrived, Bai Yi, who was in the main seat, began to speak, summarizing the development of the family in the past year. According to preliminary statistics, the performance of Bai's firm is gradually increasing. Correspondingly, the resources invested in the younger generation also increased.
"Everyone should know what I'm going to say next, that is, what should children who have reached the age of age do? If there is no family to support them for a lifetime, it must be time to contribute. Don't you think so?"
"The head of the family is right. This is a family rule, and the rules cannot be broken."
"Yes, if the rules are broken, what will be used to restrain the tribe in the future?"
"If you continue to raise them unconditionally, you will lose them. It's better to let them out to exercise. It may be more effective than being locked up in the mansion. There is no such precedent in the clan."
Before the three elders spoke, the people in charge below expressed their opinions one after another. Occasionally, there were only one or two different opinions. Most of them supported the way of the Patriarch. What are you doing standing there?As a decoration?What does the Bai family rely on to maintain it in the present?It is not because of these rules that generations of talents can be cultivated.
The third elder's face was very ugly, because when he first heard the news, he realized that someone in his clan should send some affairs, and he could no longer stay in the mansion and enjoy the benefits.
"What do the three elders think?" Bai Yi asked.
The First Elder and the Second Elder glanced at each other, Qi Qi said to Bai Yi: "It should, we agree."
In this situation, the third elder had no choice but to nod, otherwise what would it be?As long as he objected, he would probably lose most of the hearts of the people here. Even if some people are dissatisfied with Bai Yi, the Patriarch, they will not allow the entire family and Bai's business to become the third elder's personal belongings to support them. It will violate the interests of most people.
The old god Jin He was sitting there, knowing that today's business would not be over so quickly, so he closed his eyes and rested for a while.
Sure enough, not long after, there were different opinions and even disputes about where to send this group of people. Those who involved their own descendants and people from the same tribe desperately wanted to be placed in positions rich in lucrative water. Don't even think about it, if you don't have certain experience and ability to arrange it, you can still eat dry food, but there is a slight difference in the location below, and there will be a big difference, and most people outside Nan'an City don't want to leave the bustling city Suffering and suffering outside.
Bai Huai is a member of the third elder's clan, and this time one of his sons is also involved. Coupled with the hint in the eyes of the third elder, he has the biggest opinion: "Patriarch, as far as I know, our Bai's firm has added more money this year. If you want to say that my patriarch is too eccentric, except for the patriarch's own people and the clansman of the great elder, none of us can interfere, why is it also a family property without a position this time?"
Speaking of the new industry, many people present had opinions, some were hiding their own thoughts, some were peeking at the profits of this part of the industry, and some even suspected that the owner of the house deliberately hid it so deeply for an ulterior purpose. After the forged weapons were arranged to enter the business, they were spread throughout the family.Although they don't know how much profit there is, there are still many people who can see that there is a bright future in Jin He's eyes. He opened his eyes early to see the reactions of everyone present. The stewards present and the Bai clan People may not be completely loyal to the Bai family, and the new weapons have begun to circulate. I don't know how many people outside are staring at the Bai family. There may not be no insiders here.
The Second Elder is also very concerned about this matter. He has heard people whispering in his ear for a long time. Even his own tribe has some ideas about this part of the industry. Before the blacksmith discovers the main ore used in this new weapon, he really must firmly hold it in his own hands to ensure that the secrets are not leaked. He also knows very well that the people present are not of one mind, let alone loyal to the Bai family, and sometimes the benefits are too great. He will not hesitate to betray Bai's interests.
"Old Jin, show them the contract." Bai Yi saw the constant quarrel below, and ordered Jin Guan to do things.
"Yes, master." Jin He took out a box, opened it, took out a signed contract, and circulated it among the three elders first.The Great Elder knew a little bit more. He had a son who was in charge of a business in this area, but he was not very clear about the details, but he didn't intend to get to the bottom of it. The Bai clan, wouldn't it be a good thing for the Bai clan to have an extra exclusive business property?
The second elder glanced at it, but unfortunately, apart from the Bai's Commercial Company, the signature of the other party who signed the contract was covered by the ban and he could not get a glimpse of the true face. We keep their identities secret according to the agreement, so the people who come into contact with the most core secrets are all arranged by the head of the provider designated by the provider."
Not only the final signature, but also all related places in the content of the contract have been covered up, and no trace has been exposed.
The third elder hurriedly snatched the contract, and sure enough, the signature column was completely covered up. Unless the strength of this kind of cover is much greater than that of the caster, the contract will be destroyed if one moves, and nothing will be obtained.
The third elder's face is not good-looking. It has been a day or two since he planned this matter. He did not expect such a result: "Could it be that the Patriarch has no way to completely own this prescription to Bai's family? It is not reliable to put things in other people's hands."
Although the words are not straightforward, everyone can understand what he means, that is, to silence the provider, so that no one will know except the Bai family, and there is no need to share so much profit. If the profit is large enough, such an approach will indeed make fewer people take risks.
The First Elder disagreed first, and said with a cold face, "Bai's Trading Company always pays attention to fairness in doing business. What does the Third Elder mean by this? Is it possible to ruin the reputation of Bai's Trading Company?"
The third elder murmured, "Who will know if it is done in a more secretive manner." But there are many managers present. If there are only three elders and the head of the family, they will argue a lot. The foundation of the family is not clean, why should the Bai family be separated if they have the strength to take it completely?What if the other party fails to keep the contract and finds another partner?
There were endless quarrels in the meeting room, and many people who paid attention to the matter gathered outside. Although they should not get too close, there would always be a loud voice or two. After listening for a while, you would know what was going on inside.
Lin Wen's ear is better than others, and he couldn't help raising his eyebrows after hearing what you were arguing about. Uncle actually used the contract as an argument, and pasted his name so that people couldn't see it, that's right, If he knew it was him, not to mention the third elder, it is estimated that the second elder would let him give up some more profits.
Lin Wen doesn't really care too much about how much money he can share now, but why should he give it away for nothing when it is clearly his own?It is estimated that not many good things have been said about the distribution, and some people who have benefited will not only not appreciate him, but also feel that he should hand it all over.
Human greed knows no bounds.
Arguing and arguing didn't produce any results. Matters related to interests, especially those related to self, some people are not so easy to give in.Bai Hao listened very enthusiastically at first, but then he got tired of seeing those people arguing endlessly, so he frowned and said, "Instead of listening to them arguing, why don't we read a book for a while, and then we go back to Dianzang Pavilion?"
"Okay, I just haven't finished the book yet." Lin Wen echoed, dealing with these family affairs is the most cumbersome, thanks to my uncle's patience to listen and sit still.
When Lin Wen went back to the main courtyard to have dinner with his uncle at night, he realized that his uncle had just returned from a meeting. Lin Wen took a closer look at his uncle's face. Fortunately, he didn't show obvious signs of fatigue.
Bai Yi knew what his nephew was thinking when he saw the look in his eyes, and said with a smile, "It's up to me whether I listen to them or not. What I have decided can't be overthrown, otherwise the head of the house won't do it."
"Hee hee, uncle is amazing." Lin Wenxiao flattered him, and hurriedly served soup to his uncle.
"By the way," Bai Yi remembered something and wanted to remind his nephew, "In a few days our Nan'an City will become lively, and a group of distinguished guests will come from the imperial city."
Lin Wen was surprised: "Are you here for Fairy Crane?"
"That's right. I'll ask someone to sort out all the information and you'll have a look at it. You'll know what to do if something happens." Bai Yi had to remind his nephew first, "But there's also a good thing. A batch of orders have been placed, asking us to provide a batch of heavy weapons made of Wushi, and if this batch is tested well, the order will be recovered later."
