Chapter 184 Profit distribution, cancellation of engagement?
Chapter 184 Profit distribution, cancellation of engagement?
On the morning of the next day, when Luo Chen woke up, Mu Nuxin beside him had disappeared, as if everything that happened last night was just a dream.
However, after seeing the plum blossoms on the bed sheets, Luo Chen still smiled helplessly.
He really didn't expect that his sister-in-law would be so proactive.
After Luo Chen washed up and walked out of the room, he ran into Mo Fan and the other man who were walking with him.
"Brother Luo, the results are out from the Mu family, shall we go take a look?"
"go!"
Luo Chen said affirmatively.
Luo Chen guessed that most of the other members of the Mu family should have acquiesced to what Mu Nuxin did last night.
Otherwise, Luo Chen would not have been arranged to live in Mu Nuxin's bedroom.
It seems that the invasion of sea monsters has caused great damage to the Mu family.
Otherwise, it would be hard for a family like the Mu family to do this without considering the impact on their reputation...
Luo Chen and Mo Fan walked into the meeting room of the Mu family together. As soon as they walked in, old man Mu Shan came up to greet them with a smile.
"Welcome, Councillor Luo. Councillor Luo, please ..."
Old man Mu Shan looked at Luo Chen with a smile on his face, then led the way and sat directly in the first row.
Luo Chen himself did not refuse Mr. Mu's kindness.
He sat down directly in the first row. Even if it really came down to status, his status as an honorary member of the General Council could hold his own.
At the same time, Mo Fan and the other person were also assigned corresponding seats, but they were much further back.
Naturally, the two did not complain about this. After all, they came here just to see if they could find a fire soul seed.
I am just a spectator at this meeting, so there is no need to pay special attention to it.
Soon, as time passed, many elders from the Mu family and the Dongfang family came to the meeting room.
After seeing Luo Chen appear, many of the Dongfang family's elders also wanted to rush forward to greet him, but without exception they were stopped by old man Mu Shan...
Old Master Mu is very aware of Luo Chen's current influence.
The invasion of sea monsters and rising sea levels caused the demise of many businesses in the East China Sea, and all the big families in the country fell into a very embarrassing situation.
Even large families like the Mu and Zhao families, which almost monopolized most of the rare and scarce resources in the east, were severely damaged, not to mention small and medium-sized families.
In recent months, too many noble families have declined, gone bankrupt, or sold their lands. Many weaker families have already gone bankrupt...
In such an environment, the four major families in Shanghai are not having an easy time.
However, compared with the other three families, the Mu family was the least affected.
This is not because the Mu family has more foundation than the other three families, but simply because of... the existence of Luo Chen!
Luo Chen single-handedly saved the day, thwarted the invasion of the Siren's vanguard, and saved dozens of coastal cities in succession, with immeasurable merits...
As a result, the Mu family behind Mu Nujiao, one of Luo Chen's famous girlfriends, naturally also received a lot of praise.
Many families who had previously secretly mocked the Mu family for giving their girls to others as concubines were now completely dumbfounded.
Many families even began to praise the Mu family's foresight after the fact.
Especially after Luo Chen officially became an honorary member of the General Council, the Mu family could be said to have benefited from one person's success!
In the aristocratic family circle of Shanghai, the Mu family has become completely confident.
Many small families that became bankrupt chose to join the Mu family, just because of Luo Chen's name...
The Mu family also made a good profit during the disaster, which was considered a huge recovery, much better than the other three families.
However, it only restored a mouthful of blood. If one wants to fully recover, the key still lies in the fire vein this time.
Mr. Mu's original plan was to promote cooperation between the two families through a marriage between Mu Nuxin and the Dongfang family, and then divide the resources together.
However, Luo Chen's sudden visit disrupted Mr. Mu's plan.
Especially Mu Nuxin's performance made Mr. Mu think about another possibility...
As for where Mu Nuxin went last night, Mr. Mu naturally knew it well. Although it was not a good reputation for aristocratic families for sisters to share a husband, reputation was often not that important compared to the immediate interests.
Especially at this critical moment of life and death, Mr. Mu naturally doesn't care about his face anymore.
In order to seize the Kunlun Fire Vein, Mu Nuxin can marry into the Dongfang family.
If Luo Chen appears and is willing to help, Mu Nuxin can naturally choose to continue to be bound to Luo Chen. Although his reputation will be damaged, it is indeed the choice that maximizes benefits.
There is no need to question Luo Chen's strength anymore. All the people present combined may not be able to defeat him alone...
There is no doubt that Luo Chen is the guarantee for the successful mining of the Kunlun Fire Vein!
Moreover, Luo Chen's status and prestige are enough to suppress a lot of unnecessary troubles...
While thinking, Mr. Mu looked at the elders of the Dongfang family who were sitting in the meeting place.
When Mr. Mu saw that everyone was present, he walked in front of the crowd.
"Everyone is here now, so I won't exchange pleasantries any more.
The purpose of everyone gathering together this time is to solve the problem of Kunlun Fire Vein.
However, before that, our Mu family still has a few things to announce..."
"Why do we have to announce it now? Aren't we here to solve the problem?"
Dongfang Mo asked doubtfully.
"These two things are indeed very important and must be mentioned at the beginning. First, the issue of profit distribution needs to be discussed again!"
Mr. Mu threw out a trump card at the first moment!
For a moment, the conference room fell silent, and then a fierce argument broke out!
"You, the Mu family, are dishonest? Isn't 60% enough?"
"Giving you 40% is good enough. The ownership of the mineral vein belongs to us!"
For a moment, the crowds on both sides almost started fighting.
But Dongfang Mo was not particularly surprised by this. He just stretched out his hand, and then the voices from the Dongfang family suddenly became quiet.
Then, Dongfang Mo looked at Grandpa Mu.
"How does the Mu family want to divide it?"
"It's simple. We can only give 20% to the Dongfang family!"
As soon as Mr. Mu finished speaking, an elder from the Dongfang family stood up and shouted:
"You are just treating beggars like this! Why should we give you 20% when we contribute manpower and effort and may even have to face monarch-level demons? Why?"
"With the participation of Councillor Luo in this Kunlun Fire Vein mission, we are fully confident..."
Old Master Mu was not angry at the elder's scolding. Instead, he smiled and raised his hand to draw everyone's attention to Luo Chen.
"……how?"
In an instant, the elders of the Dongfang family, who were originally extremely angry, looked at each other and were completely silent.
“The Dongfang family will take 20% and be responsible for the processing of the fire veins. Our Mu family will voluntarily take only 40% and be responsible for sales, and the remaining 40% will be given to Councillor Luo.
Do you have any objections?"
Everyone in Tangxia fell silent for a moment, and then they all shook their heads without exception.
They were naturally aware of Luo Chen's strength. If Luo Chen was willing to take action, the casualties of both families would be greatly reduced.
Whether the Dongfang family makes a move or not is naturally not that important, and a reduction in the share is naturally normal.
In other words, Mr. Mu has already given face to the Dongfang family by not kicking the Dongfang family out directly and dividing the profits alone.
"Very good," Mr. Mu smiled.
"Then there's only the second thing left, which is the marriage between Xin'er and the Dongfang family.
I hope to reach an agreement with the Dongfang family and resolve the situation peacefully!"
