After glancing at the contents, which spoke of discussing important matters with the Qin family, he frowned slightly. His Qin family had never dealt with such underground forces.
However, Qin Hongguo eventually said, "Let him wait outside for a while. Say that our Qin family is having a family meeting and outsiders are not welcome."
With that, Qin Hongguo placed the visiting card in his hand on the table beside him.
"Yes." The elder nodded and then withdrew from the villa.
Seeing the elder leave, Qin Hongguo turned his gaze back to Chen Fan. "You said you have a solution. How do you plan to do it?"
"It's very simple. We can build our own port," Chen Fan replied calmly.
"Pfft!" Many people present couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Qin Xiaodong sneered, "Chen Fan, are you joking? Don't you know that all port and shipping operations are controlled by the Huangfu family in Kyoto? Are you tired of living to open a port?"
Qin Xiaotong also said sarcastically, "Uncle, I think Chen Fan is just stalling for time. Our Qin family needs to make a decision quickly, or we won't be able to appease the wrath of the Huangfu family."
Everyone else nodded in agreement.
"I think we can give Chen Fan a chance," said Qin Hongtao, who had been silent all along and was known for his timid nature.
"Fourth brother, you are pushing the family into a fiery pit!" Qin Hongwei rebuked.
Qin Hongtao immediately cowered and dared not say more.
"Heh heh, Brother Qin, why didn't you tell me when the Qin family was in trouble? After all, we are in-laws and consider ourselves family." Just then, several people suddenly appeared at the villa's outer door. With a burst of laughter, they walked into the villa without being stopped.
"Liu Zhijun? What are you doing here?" Qin Hongguo asked with a slight frown upon seeing the newcomers.
"Brother Qin, I'm here, of course, to help the Qin family," Liu Zhijun replied.
Qin Hongwei, standing beside him, looked overjoyed. "See? This is what in-laws should be like, helping each other instead of constantly causing trouble for one another."
It was clear that Qin Hongwei's words were directed at Chen Fan.
Standing behind Liu Zhijun was Liu Qianze, who had recently married. Upon seeing Chen Fan and Qin Shuran, a look of anger flashed in his eyes. It was because of Chen Fan that he couldn't be a normal man even now!
"Thank you, Brother Liu. Do you have any solutions?" Qin Hongguo cupped his hands and asked after inviting Liu Zhijun to sit down.
"There are always more solutions than difficulties. Brother Qin, this is a small matter and can be resolved very easily."
"We are eager to hear your plan!" Qin Hongguo was somewhat surprised, wondering what solution Liu Zhijun could possibly have.
Seeing the anxious expressions of Qin Hongguo and the others, Liu Zhijun's lips curled into a smile. "It's very simple. If the Qin family's foreign trade company declares bankruptcy and is acquired by our Liu family, then our two families will share the profits according to our shares. This way, even if the Qin family is blacklisted by the shipping company, they can still conduct foreign trade."
"This!" Qin Hongwei and the others were all startled.
Their Qin family was a major player in foreign trade, far stronger than the Liu family. If this plan were implemented, their Qin family's strength would inevitably decline drastically, and they wouldn't even qualify to be among the top families in Southern China!
Qin Hongguo, knowing this all too well, asked with a cold face, "Brother Liu, swallowing my entire Qin family's foreign trade business, isn't the Liu family's appetite a bit too large?"
Seeing Qin Hongguo's anger, Liu Zhijun was unconcerned. "Heh heh, Brother Qin, what do you mean? My Liu family is willing to take this risk for your Qin family. If it weren't for the Qin family, we naturally wouldn't bother with such trivial matters. Wouldn't it be better to just watch it go bankrupt?"
Everyone exchanged glances, knowing that the Liu family was taking advantage of their misfortune.
Qin Hongwei couldn't help but ask, "Patriarch Liu, if our two families cooperate, what percentage of shares do you plan to give us?"
Liu Zhijun directly held up two fingers.
"Twenty percent?!"
"Liu Zhijun, aren't you being too greedy?!"
Many people were indignant.
"Heh heh, I'm also bearing a considerable risk. If the Qin family is unwilling, you can find someone else," Liu Zhijun said, as if holding the Qin family's lifeline.
"Brother, what should we do? How about we hand Chen Fan over to the Huangfu family right now and see if they can give our Qin family a chance?" Qin Hongwei quickly asked.
Liu Zhijun chuckled mockingly. "Qin Hongwei, you think too highly of your Qin family. Do you think a small Qin family is qualified to negotiate terms with the Huangfu family?"
For a moment, the villa fell into silence.
"It's all your fault! Chen Fan, it's all because of you, you trash! Our Qin family has become like this!" Suddenly, Qin Xiaotong pointed at Chen Fan and yelled angrily.
Zeng Wanrou pointed at Qin Shuran and shouted, "And you, you jinx, Qin Shuran! Look at what your willfulness has done to the Qin family! Are you happy now? Huh?!"
Qin Shuran shed silent tears, looking at the faces of these relatives, she felt a pang of pain.
Almost everyone turned their angry gazes towards Chen Fan and Qin Shuran, feeling as if these two were the eternal sinners of the Qin family.
Liu Zhijun's lips curved upwards, and he urged, "Brother Qin, will you cooperate with us, or will your Qin family perish? Please make a decision quickly. Time waits for no one. As long as you agree, I can have your goods shipped out under the Liu family's name."
Qin Hongguo fell into deep thought, his expression seeming to age ten years in an instant.
"He won't choose any of them." However, at this moment, Chen Fan spoke again.
"Kid, what do you mean by that? Are you saying you haven't caused enough trouble for the Qin family?" Liu Zhijun turned his gaze to Chen Fan.
Chen Fan smiled playfully. "I mean, without your Liu family, the Qin family's foreign trade goods can still be shipped out."
"Hahaha, kid, who do you think you are? Do you think this port is run by your aunt's family?" Liu Zhijun mocked.
Chen Fan shook his head. "It's not run by my aunt's family, but it's mine."
"Hahaha!"
Liu Qianze couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Chen Fan, are you out of your mind? You say this port is yours? I think you're here to make a joke!" Da Feng Novel Network
"Who says Brother Fan is joking? The ports in Southern China are all Brother Fan's now!" Suddenly, a deep and powerful voice echoed from outside the door.
An elder, accompanied by several people, tried to stop them, but unfortunately, they couldn't stop the tall and strong group.
Seeing the group that suddenly barged in, Qin Hongguo's face instantly turned cold. Qin Xiaodong stepped forward, blocking their way and questioning, "Who are you?! Who allowed you in?!"
