Gao Wu: Starting from Awakening the Bloodline of the Demon King

"How about it? My club is doing well, isn't it?"

Wang Zhe took Su An to an antique room with simple but elegant decoration.

The wooden floor is polished smooth and bright, and there are two desks on the north side. There are no chairs, replaced by simple cushions. The furnishings have no urban flavor at all, but screens, calligraphy and paintings, and vases of treasures.

Even the lighting uses candlesticks instead of electric lamps.

Su An had only seen this scene in film and television works, and had never had the opportunity to be in it in reality.

This club, which occupies a large area, does not have high-rise buildings, and all the buildings are in retro style. What Su An saw along the way were either small bridges, flowing water, lanterns and green willows, or waterside pavilions and balconies in a variety of colors.

Wang Zhe was obviously very satisfied with his masterpiece, and introduced to Su An with great interest: "Basically all the money I have earned over the years has been spent on this villa, and I personally made many of the designs.

“It’s hard to find engineers and construction teams who know how to build ancient buildings. It took me a lot of trouble to find friends in the capital, and I finally built the villa.

“Compared with the magnificent modern buildings and the dazzling urban neon lights, I prefer this quiet and distant ancient charm.

“The waiters here are also carefully selected beauties from various universities, and they all have to undergo several months of ancient cultural training before taking up their posts.

"What do you think? Do you feel like you're dreaming back into history?"

Su An, who was born in the streets of Jizhou Governor, knows very little about Wang Zhe's so-called ancient history. His biggest feeling now is that Wang Zhe deserves to be the son of the chief envoy of Lingdong Province. The son of aristocratic family has far more fun than him. The imagination of this common man.

He said with emotion: "After building this club, I'm afraid it will really be like 'there are great scholars who come and go, but no amateurs who talk and laugh'."

There may not be any Hongru, but those who come in and out must be dignitaries with extraordinary status, wealth and power, and most of these people will become Wang Zhe's network, which is the purpose of his painstaking efforts to manage this unique villa.

It can be seen from this that Wang Zhe is very ambitious.

While they were talking, two young maids came in carrying various items and sat aside to make tea using the fire and the teapot.

Su An glanced at her and found that she was indeed pretty, graceful, and very poetic. Every move she made was elegant and calm.

"I'm actually making tea instead of drinking...what does this taste like?" Su An couldn't help but curse. For a teenager, how can tea be as attractive as fine wine?

"Su An, you really understand me!" Wang Zhe laughed loudly, put his arm around Su An's shoulders and began to talk about ancient culture and history, introducing him to all kinds of strange anecdotes about ancient people that he didn't know.

As a former good student, Su An certainly knew about history, but he could only learn what was in the textbooks.

The history of human civilization in the Xia and Shang Continent began with an "air crash" thousands of years ago.

Their ancestors were an interstellar fleet exploring the universe. Due to an accident, they strayed into space turbulence. When they crash-landed on this planet, they suffered heavy losses. The spacecraft turned into scrap metal and lost the ability to set sail again.

Since then, people have settled on the Xia and Shang Continent, experienced hardships and prospered, and worked hard to develop civilization. They hope to one day build a spaceship and set sail back to the universe, returning to their home planet who is far away.

Then the demon clan came.

The way the monsters descend is the same as but different from humans.

The same thing is that they also strayed into a space rift and were swept to this planet by space turbulence. The difference is that they don't have a spaceship.

In the words of the textbook, the ancestors of the demon clan were a group of refugees.

Because of their pure and kind nature, coupled with the experience of fellow refugees from the end of the world, humans chose to treat this group of refugees who call themselves "elves" in a friendly manner.

Although the monsters and humans come from different planets and are not the same race, humans still help them settle down and settle in Xia and Shang Continent selflessly and without asking for anything in return.

There was a honeymoon period for both parties.

However, the good times did not last long. The monster race was vicious in nature, insidious and cruel, and had no moral sense. After gaining a foothold, it became ungrateful and planned to launch a sneak attack on mankind in an attempt to destroy mankind and become the only master of this planet!

This evil act defies good human expectations.

At first, the humans who were caught off guard were attacked by the monsters, resulting in countless deaths and injuries. Rivers of blood flowed. Every prosperous and dazzling city was captured by the monsters. Pieces of civilized paradise were burned by the monsters. Countless citizens were separated from their wives and families, and were forced to Fleeing in panic deep into barrenness.

But brave humans did not give up.

When the initial unpreparedness passed, humans began to organize effective resistance, and through repeated epic victories, at the cost of the bloodshed and sacrifice of tens of millions of people, they successfully stopped the demon clan's attack.

——Although the demon race knows how to cultivate and has strong individual combat power, humans have technological civilization and know the value of unity and dedication, so they saved the last few cities in the most difficult and dangerous moments.

Since then, human beings, who have recovered from their fatigue, have vigorously developed technological weapons and studied the cultivation methods of the demon clan.

After nearly a hundred years of long struggle and unimaginable blood and tears, mankind has reversed its decline day by day and turned defeat into victory step by step.

In the later stages of the "Hundred Years' War", humans launched a full-scale counterattack against the demon clan, taking back inch by inch the land that had been invaded by the demon clan, and rebuilding cities that belonged to humans bit by bit!

In the end, human beings wrote their own heroic epic on the Xia and Shang Continent, which was enough to move the cold universe. The demon clan was driven to a relatively remote and poor place, and the fire of scientific and technological civilization once again filled the planet. !

History then entered a stage of strategic stalemate.

The above are the human history that Su An learned from textbooks.

But what Wang Zhe was sharing with him now was the ancient scenery and humanistic customs on that distant and distant mother planet.

Because the ancestors of the Xia and Shang Continent were only an exploratory fleet, and the early civilization was severely damaged by the demon clan, very few historical, cultural, and customary objects related to the home planet have been handed down.

Middle school history textbooks focus on the past struggles of mankind in the Xia and Shang Continent, and only introduce the home planet in a few chapters.

As for some of the ancient prose passages Su An recited, many of them were written down silently by the sages.

To this day, only Wang Zhe, a descendant of a family with a long history of family knowledge, has the opportunity to access more information about the home planet, and it is basically unsystematic.

For the vast majority of humans living in the Xia and Shang Continent today, whether it is the fleet or the home planet, the history that is too long and hard to find is just a little dust in the universe.

But at this moment, Su An was listening with more and more interest.

The strange names and strange deeds made his thoughts and feelings drift further and further into the galaxy.

The fragrance of tea is thick and the sandalwood is spreading. I don't know when the clear and long music sounds in my ears - someone is slowly strumming the strings of the piano, and the sound is melodious.

Immediately there was a group of ethereal dancers with fluttering colorful skirts and cloud-like ribbons in the room. Their slender fingers evoked the years, and their black hair stirred up the past.

In Wang Zhe's emotional narration, Su An seemed to see those people going through those things, and the boundaries of his life expanded to farther and higher places.

I don't know how much time passed, the dancers retreated, the music of the piano stopped, the teacups were replaced by wine glasses, the delicacies were placed on the table, and the two began to toast and drink.

"Su An, you see, the ancients had rudimentary means, no handy machines, and no idea of ​​intelligence. For now, they are constantly struggling. As descendants, we live in high-rise buildings with good guns and the power of the force. Isn't it better? Should we not be afraid of hardships and dangers, strive for progress, and inherit the glory of our ancestors?"

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Wang Zhe smelled of alcohol, but he stared at Su An with eyes like stars, and his words spoke loudly.

Su An knew that the main topic of the night was coming, and this matter should not be simple, otherwise the other party would not have been laying the groundwork for so long, and they would still emphasize "not afraid of hardships" and "the heroic spirit of their ancestors".

He smiled and got straight to the point: "What good deal do you have?"

Wang Zhe smiled slightly.

This simple action is both profound and instigating. However, it does not make people wary, but instead arouses enthusiasm.

He is like an old fox who has been practicing Buddhism for many years:

"There are many businesses in this world, and many of them can make money, but do you know what kind of business can be the most stable and long-lasting, and have a steady stream of wealth?"

Su An didn't mean to show off her cleverness. She knew that the other party wanted to ask and answer herself, so she asked: "What kind of thing?"

"Four words." Wang Zhe raised four fingers and said, "National economy and people's livelihood!"

Su An nodded slightly and waited for Wang Zhe to continue.

Wang Zhe continued: "The four words 'national economy and people's livelihood' may be a little big and a little empty, but if they are replaced by 'daily expenses' and 'daily food and clothing', it would be an appropriate description.

“No matter how profitable the arms business is, there are only so many customers after all, and if there is no war, they will be consumed slowly;

"No matter how high-tech products make a million bucks, it is impossible for a person to buy a car every day and buy a computer and a mobile phone every day. The life cycle of the company's production lines and various machinery is not short.

"But daily expenses are different. They are consumed by everyone every day. No matter you are an extraordinary person with high cultivation level or an ordinary person with no strength, you can't skip eating, right?"

After hearing this, Su An already figured out Wang Zhe's intention.

Anxia Zong's existing industries, whether bars, entertainment cities, or hotels, only have so many target customers, and Dongping District's demand is only so great. They are not things that everyone can live without.

Sue Ann really needs better ways to make money.

Su An asked: "Do you want to seize the supermarket convenience and fresh vegetable market in Dongping District?"

Wang Zhe didn't expect Su An to react so quickly. He was slightly startled, and then he exclaimed: "Smart! Su An, you really knew it right away. I knew I was right to cooperate with you!"

Su An began to think about the feasibility of this project.

The first is financial profit.

There is no doubt that businesses such as convenience stores and fresh fruits and vegetables may not look high-end at all and cannot be compared with Force weapons and mechanical armors, but their daily consumption is astronomical, and they are an absolute source of wealth. .

The second is strength.

With the strength of the Anxia Sect, it is definitely not possible to do this, but it is different when considering the entire Anxia League. After the fall of Huang Hai, more and more sects joined the Anxia Sect.

Although it cannot be compared with those powerful sects that are high in the clouds, on the "ground", the Anxia League is already an overlord that cannot be ignored in Dongping District!

When it comes to getting involved in the high-end market rich in technology, Anxia Meng has no technology and is not competitive. But when it comes to one-third of an acre of land on the streets, Anxia Meng is definitely influential.

Wang Zhe wants the convenience of supermarkets and fresh vegetable markets in Dongping District, and Anxia League cannot get around it at any cost.

If Anxia League does not cooperate, or even deliberately causes harm, which supermarket and store on the street can do business normally?

And this is the important reason why Wang Zhe asked Su An to cooperate!

If your strength is in place, you will not be afraid of not having the opportunity to make money and get rich.

Finally there is this opportunity.

Since the "daily consumption" market is highly profitable, no one will pay attention to it. In fact, the vast majority of this market is in the hands of supermarket chains.

From large shopping malls in bustling cities to convenience stores on the streets, they all have to join related chains and are backed by certain armed and powerful groups.

Again, the technological development of Xia and Shang Continent has been stagnant for hundreds of years, and all kinds of social wealth have long been divided up by forces large and small, without a single fish slipping through the net.

If ordinary people want to open a store, they must either join a chain, or they can only eat scraps.

Prior to this, most of the "daily expenses" market in Dongping District was in the hands of the Huang family, and Huang Hai, the patrol room inspector, was an important part of it.

It is the existence that controls the mountain at the grassroots level!

Because of Su An's previous fight, Huang Yuewen died and Huang Hai fell. This caused a gap in the originally unimpeded mountain of interests, which immediately attracted the covetousness of interested people.

Wang Zhe is like a shark that smells blood!

Su An thought on her knees and knew that Wang Zhe was not the only shark coming around.

But without Wang Zhe, Anxia League would have no chance to interfere with this market. If someone else took over this market, Anxia League would not be able to really destroy their business.

After all, the strength is limited, and fighting alone is no match for those big forces.

Unless the Anxia League has a big mountain behind it and can get strong support, then the Anxia League will have the qualifications to directly go down and seize the country.

The Wang Zhe in front of him is just such a mountain, or in other words, a big tree.

Huang Hai had just fallen, and Wang Zhe immediately came to Su An to cooperate. He was so quick, probably because he was worried that the Anxia League would be attracted by others and wear a pair of pants with other forces.

In that case, the "ground" advantage, or the "grassroots advantage", belongs to others.

There are "grassroots forces" and "upper-level forces." Even though Wang Zhe is the son of the chief minister, he has to shake his head in the face of such interest groups.

All in all, if major forces want to enter the supermarket fresh food market in Dongping District, they must choose a grassroots force in Dongping District similar to the Anxia League to cooperate.

Wang Zhe and Su An will both benefit from cooperation. Only by working together can things be possible.

Su An's mind raced, and after considering all aspects, the final conclusion was obvious: this business can be done!
