C156 The Old Man of the Qing Family
C156 The Old Man of the Qing Family
Shang Hai, the monk of the capital. One in the south and one in the north. One was the economic center of the entire country, while the other was the political center.
There were many deep-rooted families in the capital. Some of them were descendants of Yuanxun at the beginning of the country, while others were newly formed political families. These families formed the structure of the capital.
Whether it was the Jiang family, the Zhu family, or the Lin family, they were all the top families in the capital.
Many people would keep their mouths shut and tell a lot of stories about these three families. For example, how was that man from the Jiang family? In the past, no matter what happened to that man from the Zhu family or the man from the Lin Family, many people didn't know anything about the Qing family in the capital.
The Qing family wasn't a family that had established a country, nor was it a newly emerging wealthy family. The origin of the Qing family had always been very mysterious. It seemed like the Qing family had existed since the ancient era.
The Qing family was a very low-profile family. It was said that the reason why they kept a low profile was because of the fact that they were a low-profile family. Because there was no official in the family.
However, even the most powerful family in the capital would have enough respect for the Qing family.
No one knew what kind of a huge family the Qing family was. Only those who knew about it would know. It was easy to say that the Qing family had a significant position in the financial world.
For ordinary people, what they saw in their eyes were the wealthy people in the TV news. They were all big shots, but they would never be able to get in touch with the real big shots in this society.
The foundation of the Jiang family had already penetrated into every corner of this land. It was worthy of being called the number one family.
Of course, the Qin family in the military was a legendary existence. It was as stable as Mount Tai in the military.
As for the Zhu family and the Lin family, they belonged to the newly risen Wealthy Class. Although their status was on par with the top Wealthy Class, their foundation was slightly weaker.
There were also some big families and Wealthy Class families whose status was not inferior to these families. However, they hid themselves even more deeply. They were unwilling to, or rather, rarely, show themselves in public.
Among these big families, the Qing family was a quiet family. They were everywhere, but they did not show themselves at all.
It was controlled by the Qing family. It was just one word - money.
If one were to talk about money, there would be very few hidden families in the world that could surpass the wealth of the Qing family.
Unless it was the Jewish families behind the Federal Reserve, or the legendary Rothschild Family in Europe, or the rising Mitsubishi Conglomerate in Nihon, or the Shahrukh family at the top of India's racial system.
The Qing family's Second Master, Qing Changming, had all the advantages of being a disciple of an aristocratic family. He was respectful, polite, and well-mannered. Even if it was the so-called ancient aristocratic families in Europe that had been passed down for thousands of years, they would still nurture an heir like this.
He had a good upbringing like Qing Changming, but he didn't have the slightest bit of arrogance as a son of an aristocratic family. Such a person could only be nurtured by a real aristocratic family.
In any country, there were many aristocratic families with a long history. These aristocratic families had some ups and downs in the long river of history, but they still existed until today. This only showed how outstanding this family was.
Of course, the so-called aristocratic families' disciples were not given to them by themselves.
Second Master of Qing family was now the representative of the family, and the next heir to the family head.
In the afternoon, a black Maybach bulletproof car quietly drove along the ten miles long street. It drove along the Ancient Imperial City's root and soon arrived at a very famous street.
This street was called the Wang Mansion Street, not the Wang Mansion's Well. It was the street closest to the Ancient Imperial City. In the previous dynasty, it was the residence of an adult prince after he left the palace.
The entire street was made up of the residences of many princes.
Now, this Wangfu Street had become a cultural relic protection unit that was half open to the public. Every Saturday, it would be open to the public for a day. However, there was a fixed limit to the number of visitors.
In the most prominent area of Wang Mansion Street, there was a big house with seven doors. It was unknown how deep it was. Its predecessor was the most famous King's Mansion in the previous dynasty. This King's Mansion was completely built according to the layout of the Ancient Imperial City, and it was also known as the Small Imperial City.
Of course, compared to the famous Ancient Imperial City, the Forbidden City. . . This mansion was many times smaller.
This Imperial Palace only belonged to one family, and that was the Qing family. Even the Jiang family, Zhu family, and other powerful families in the capital were only living in an old courtyard.
In a small courtyard house behind the deep courtyard of the prince's mansion, a room was decorated in a vintage style. It was completely the style of the previous dynasty, except that it was under the middle hall next to the armchair. There was an ancient phonograph! Next to it was an incense burner! Smoke lingered in the room, and the whole room was filled with smoke. It emitted a faint but refreshing fragrance, which. . . It was the extremely expensive Ambergris!
An old man was sitting on an armchair with his eyes closed. Beside him stood a middle-aged man!
Qing Changming!
The old man's hair was all white, but there was not a single wrinkle on his face. His face was flushed red, as if he was deep in thought with his eyes closed, but also as if he was taking a nap! However, Qing Changming stood there respectfully, not daring to make a sound.
The old man did not move like a pine tree, but from top to bottom, there was a faint and dignified aura. Even if his eyes were closed, it would still cause people to feel fear in their hearts! This kind of aura could really be said to be looking down on the world!
"Have you decided?"
The old man did not open his eyes but slowly opened his mouth to speak. His voice was low, but it was deafening. Qing Changming hurriedly straightened his back, stood up, and walked to the old man's side. He picked up an antique teapot beside the incense burner, and three fair and slender fingers. He firmly grabbed the teapot and poured a cup of warm green tea for the old man. Qing Changming respectfully handed the teapot to the old man before he retreated.
The old man still did not open his eyes. Just like that, he received the teacup. After taking a light sip, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Qing Changming with relief.
"You are bold, but have you thought of the result of this matter? The foundation of Qing family that has existed for hundreds of years will be destroyed if anything goes wrong. "
There was a calm expression on Qing Changming's face after careful deliberation.
"If we don't choose now, we won't have the chance to choose anymore. Don't forget, we have been together for so many years. In order to maintain our family's independence, in order not to involve those sects. . . We have made great sacrifices and efforts, but now. . . We have to choose, instead of choosing a backer who is eyeing the family's wealth covetously. . . Why don't we find a new one that is worth investing in, what do you think? I choose the latter. "
" You need to have coal to provide timely assistance. Yang Qiu is worth investing in. But it also depends on whether he can grow or not. But since you have made your choice. . . I will not object. We are merchants. Businessmen are profit-oriented, investing is such a thing. . . We are not afraid of failure, but we are afraid of complete failure. . . You choose to invest in him. I do not object. And I don't agree with everything. You decide for yourself. "
Qing Changming said with a smile.
"Father, are you really not going to show yourself?"
The old man refused him directly.
"I have already let go of him, so I will not care anymore. Remember, we are businessmen. As long as we have money and resources, no one can touch us. Who cares if he changes the dynasty? Who cares if he changes the dynasty? Everyone will be respectful and polite to us. "
Speaking of this, the old man gently sighed and said:
"Ning Er's marriage has been decided by herself. Are you satisfied?"
"Thank you, father. "
"You don't have to thank me. This is just an investment. I have always been optimistic about you. I believe that your gaze will not disappoint the family. "
"Don't worry!"
Qing Changming said firmly.
"I will give you a satisfactory answer sheet," Qing Changming said.
The old man slowly stood up and said word by word,
"Not for me, but for this family. "
