1765 The Future Generation Is Formidable

Who could guarantee that there was no “other Shen Yuanbao” among the helmsmen of the seven great families who had already secretly contacted or even formed an alliance with Meng Chao?

The situation was so delicate, and Meng Chao seemed to be in the right. Whoever dared to stand up and reject Meng Chao’s suggestion at this time would be going against the surging public opinion of several million Dragon City citizens.

Even if they succeeded in the end, they would probably be “killing a thousand enemies, but suffering eight hundred in losses.”

Once that happened, other than suffering public backlash and causing their own companies to suffer heavy losses in the financial market, what other benefits would they have?

The seven first-generation Deity Realm experts who were silently calculating the gains and losses in their hearts sighed and realized that from the moment they started “calculating,” they had subconsciously prepared to compromise.

Sugar cane was not sweet on both ends.

In the past, the dozens of first-generation Deity Realm experts in Dragon City had taken two completely different paths.

Some had established their own family businesses and relied on their unparalleled super martial strength to protect the family businesses. Their businesses grew increasingly big and finally formed the nine great families or nine mega corporations.

Others, on the other hand, had focused on martial arts and fighting. They did not care about “trivial” matters such as family, business, business operations, and personal image maintenance.

The former had once mocked the latter for being inflexible.

Since they relied on their family businesses to spread their tentacles like an octopus, the cultivation resources they managed to obtain were often several times or even dozens of times more than the latter.

Nevertheless, with such big families and businesses, there were more things to worry about. They had to scheme against each other in all aspects and be overly cautious about their overall situation. The former’s mind and even power became less pure as time went on.

Their lives no longer belonged to them.

Instead, their lives belonged to their families and mega corporations.

They could risk their lives, but how could they casually fight for the lives of their entire family and business empire?

Merchants and warriors were two completely incompatible professions.

The leaders of these mega corporations had contemplated and solved problems that they faced for decades as businessmen. Suddenly, they realized that it was incredibly difficult for them to solve the new problem of Meng Chao with the firm, pure, and even simple and crude way of thinking that warriors had.

Fighting and killing were not the styles of a businessman.

Peace breeds wealth. Everyone sat down and slowly discussed how to make the pie bigger or at least boast about it. This was the true nature of a businessman.

In the end, Lu Zhongqi, Shen Yuanbao’s rival, Lu Siya’s grandfather, the president of the Dragon City Mine Explorer Association and Crystal Association, as well as the head of Sky Pillar Corporation, unified the seven mega corporations’ attitude toward Meng Chao with a sigh.

“The future generation is formidable!”
