Chapter 823 Merger? Dowry?
“Chen Xuan, don’t worry. The biggest problem with the Murong family in the provincial capital is that they focus too much on martial arts development, and economic development can’t keep up, leading to the current situation. I’ll have my lineage all enter the provincial capital later to help the Murong family develop their economy.”
Old Master Murong’s eyes gleamed: “I believe that as long as the economy keeps up, the Murong family in the provincial capital will definitely have great potential!”
The Murong family in the provincial capital also had some advantages.
The Murong family in the provincial capital had invested everything in martial arts development. The martial arts power of the Murong family in the provincial capital was even stronger than the Gao family!
If they developed their economy further, it would fill the shortcomings of the Murong family in the provincial capital, and the future would be promising!
Chen Xuan smiled and nodded.
It seemed that Old Master Murong had already seen the crux of the Murong family in the provincial capital falling into this predicament, so he was relieved.
However, Old Master Murong had been away from the provincial capital for a long time and was not familiar with many things. Chen Xuan still arranged for Jiang Ning to help Old Master Murong manage the Murong family in the provincial capital.
After Jiang Ning and the others arrived, they made a simple handover. Chen Xuan then drove away from the Murong family. The reason for leaving so quickly was also because he discovered that Old Master Murong had always wanted him to marry Murong Meng. If he didn’t leave quickly, he was afraid Old Master Murong would drug him…
Back at the Su family villa, Chen Xuan lay on the sofa, slightly relieved.
At this moment, Chen Xuan received a call from Jiang Ning.
They had just met, why was he calling again?
Although he had doubts, Chen Xuan still answered the call.
“Mr. Chen, I have good news!”
Jiang Ning said with a smile: “I found out that it was a huge profit for us to annex the Murong family for thirty billion!”
“Oh? What did you find?”
Jiang Ning explained everything: “Mr. Chen, I found that the Murong family has many unique advantages. For example, the Murong family has over a thousand martial artists in total, and their overall strength is more than half that of the Gao family.”
“So many martial artists?” Chen Xuan was amazed.
He knew that the Murong family was one of the largest martial arts forces in the provincial capital, stronger than the Gao family, but he never expected the Murong family to be so strong.
“To be honest, I was also startled. The number of martial artists is more than half that of the Gao family in Yang County, but this also brings great trouble, such as a lot of monthly expenses. Martial artists need a large amount of funds to cultivate, and they also need to be paid salaries, which requires a large amount of funds. It costs ten billion every month!”
“Ten billion?”
Chen Xuan frowned and said with a wry smile: “Can I support them?”
Having so many martial artists was indeed a good thing, and they would definitely not be afraid to fight, but the monthly expenditure was ten billion. In a year, it would be one hundred and twenty billion. What was the concept of one hundred and twenty billion? One hundred and twenty billion could be considered a large group company in Jiangzhou!
This was simply burning money!
He could still afford it for now, but over time, it might become a burden, and he began to regret it.
“Mr. Chen, why waste such good resources?”
Suddenly, Jiang Ning smiled.
“Jiang Ning, do you have a good idea?”
When Chen Xuan heard this, he knew that Jiang Ning might have a good idea, so he quickly asked.
Jiang Ning said: “According to my statistics, the Murong family has five hundred martial arts schools scattered throughout Jiangnan Province and in every city of the surrounding provinces.”
“The Murong family still has so many martial arts schools?” Chen Xuan was stunned.
“Mr. Chen, although the Murong family has so many martial arts schools, they are almost all operating at a loss. As long as these martial arts schools are turned around from a loss, they can not only be profitable but also make a lot of money,” Jiang Ning said with a smile.
“Martial arts schools, are they easy to manage?”
“Not difficult!”
“The reason why the Murong family’s martial arts schools are operating at a loss is that they don’t charge tuition fees and don’t recruit students. All those who join the martial arts schools are martial artists, and they are completely supported by the Murong family.”
Chen Xuan also sneered.
It was no wonder the Murong family ended up in this situation; they brought it upon themselves.
Were so many people being supported for nothing?
Jiang Ning continued: “We need to change our strategy now, which is to treat these people as martial arts teachers in the martial arts schools, recruit a batch of students, and start charging fees. In addition, like Xuanji Hall, we can also take on some security and other special tasks to increase revenue. I believe we can make money soon.”
He had managed Xuanji Hall for Black Tiger in Jiangzhou, so he was very familiar with it.
“Good, good!”
Chen Xuan nodded, quite satisfied with Jiang Ning’s suggestion.
“Mr. Chen, however, I need to borrow someone from you.”
“Who?”
“Yang Chaotian!”
“Borrow him for what? He can’t get involved in the Murong family’s affairs, can he?”
Chen Xuan frowned, not knowing what Jiang Ning meant.
“Mr. Chen, I want to merge Xuanji Hall with the Murong family’s forces. Xuanji Hall is a mature model and can help the Murong family. I also have selfish motives, after all, Xuanji Hall’s martial arts strength is actually inferior to the Murong family. Therefore, combining the two will promote each other and strengthen Xuanji Hall.”
Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes and said slowly.
To put it bluntly, Jiang Ning wanted to use the Murong family to strengthen Xuanji Hall!
*Gulp*
Chen Xuan couldn’t help but swallow.
Xuanji Hall was already the third-largest business force in Jiangzhou. If it merged with the martial arts power of the Murong family, it would be no problem to surpass the White Dragon Chamber of Commerce and the Chang Le Chamber of Commerce. If it annexed another force, it would be within reach to dominate the entire Jiangnan Province!
“No, no, no…”
Suddenly, Chen Xuan shook his head and said decisively: “We can’t do that!”
“Mr. Chen, what’s wrong? Isn’t this a good thing?” Jiang Ning frowned.
Chen Xuan sighed and said: “The Murong family in the provincial capital is now managed by Old Master Murong. It’s probably not good for me to do this. If we are to do this, we must discuss it with Old Master Murong. Only with Old Master Murong’s consent can we proceed.”
Jiang Ning thought it was something else, and upon hearing this, he immediately smiled: “Mr. Chen, don’t worry. Actually, Old Master Murong brought this up. We discussed it and found it feasible, so I called you.”
At this moment, Old Master Murong was next to Jiang Ning. Hearing Chen Xuan’s words, Old Master Murong felt greatly comforted. He hadn’t misjudged the person!
“Really?” Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows.
“Chen Xuan, it’s absolutely true. Old Master Murong is right beside me,” Jiang Ning said.
Old Master Murong also followed up and said into the phone: “Mr. Chen, doing this will bring great benefits to you and the Murong family. You don’t need to feel guilty. If you feel guilty, just consider it as the dowry that our Murong family has prepared for Xiao Meng…”
*Pfft!*
Chen Xuan spat out the water he was drinking.
Why were they talking about dowry?
“Mr. Chen, I’m just joking, haha.”
Chen Xuan shook his head helplessly: “Then let’s do it this way. I’ll have Yang Chaotian help you later. You should strengthen cooperation with each other, help each other, and improve each other!”
After speaking, Chen Xuan decisively hung up the phone.
Chen Xuan immediately called Yang Chaotian.
As soon as the call was connected, Yang Chaotian on the phone was so excited that he kept praising Lone Wolf: “Mr. Chen, the person you found is too amazing. That marksmanship is simply divine. You don’t know, but there was a guy still running, and Lone Wolf killed him with one shot!”
“And, and, you didn’t see a kidnapper holding Professor Long hostage, but Lone Wolf shot him in the head and killed him, while Professor Long didn’t even lose a single strand of hair!”
