Chapter 1127
The Grand Elder of the Elders' Council is now the Patriarch of the Tang Clan, Tang Guanwen.
Tang Guanwen was now sitting leisurely on the mahogany sofa with a relaxed look on his face.
He brewed a fragrant green tea and sipped it while he waited.
Not long after, Tang Guanwen turned to the butler next to him and asked.
"Where has Xu Xiaoyang arrived?"
"It's already at the door and will be coming in soon."
Tang Guanwen nodded his head slightly.
At the same time, the corners of his mouth brought up a cruel smile.
By inviting someone to have a cup of tea, was it really just a simple cup of tea?
Of course not!
This was a trick that Tang Guanwen had always used.
This cup of tea is specially for the dead!
At a young age, Tang Guanwen had already taken over the entire family from his own father's generation.
At that time, he was only 26 years old.
The fact that he was able to take charge of the entire family at such a young age was not to say that he had very strong abilities.
In terms of running the family, Tang Guanwen was actually mediocre.
For a long time in the past, Tang Guanwen had done very little in the way of running the family.
As a young man, he rose to the position of head of the family because he first had his own elder brother killed through dirty and nasty means.
Then he forced his own father and several of his brothers to turn against each other.
He eventually used these men to drive them out of the family one by one.
At the end of the day, Tang Guanwen made a cup of tea for his father.
Using a very strong tactic, he forced his father to finally bow his head and surrender the entire family.
The Tang family had been in the capital for hundreds of years.
In the decades that Tang Guanwen had been at the helm of the entire family, not much had changed in the family business.
And the reason why the family was able to control the entire capital area.
It was because Tang Guanwen had been using some underhanded and vicious tactics behind the scenes in these past decades, controlling one small family after another and constantly pressuring these families to work for him.
Behind the scenes, the name people call Tang Guanwen is a vampire!
A scum who kills without a second thought and only knows how to forcefully plunder the fruits of other people's labour!
Tang Guanwen took out 50,000 yuan a catty of tea leaves from the box.
He carefully placed the tea leaves one by one in the expensive blue and white porcelain tea vessel.
Then, using boiling water, he slowly brewed the tea.
Soon, the fragrance of tea wafted out in the room.
Tang Guanwen was in a wonderful mood now.
He had done this kind of thing no less than dozens and hundreds of times, and had not missed a beat.
Soon, all the assets of the Lingxiao Group would fall into his hands!
With such a huge capital chain as the Lingxiao Group, it was highly likely that their Tang Clan would use this opportunity to break the regional barriers.
By then, the entire Elders would fall into his hands!
Not long after, Black Tiger walked in with Xu Xiaoyang.
The moment Tang Guanwen saw Xu Xiaoyang, he could not help but faintly stare.
This was because on Xu Xiaoyang's face, he did not see any frustration or panic.
According to his experience, those bosses whom he had invited over for tea would all cower and panic like mice seeing a cat when they stepped into this house.
However, what he saw on Xu Xiaoyang's face was only composure.
He looked as calm as if he had returned to his own home.
Step by step, Xu Xiaoyang walked up to Tang Guanwen.
He sat straight down on the soft sofa.
Xu Xiaoyang looked at Tang Guanwen.
Tang Guanwen suddenly smiled.
He turned to Xu Xiaoyang and said, "Chairman Xu, aren't you afraid of me?"
Chapter 1128
Xu Xiaoyang smiled faintly, "You are not a jackal or a tiger, why should I be afraid of you?"
Saying that, Xu Xiaoyang actually took the initiative to pick up the tea, then opened the lid and blew gently into the tea soup before taking a small sip.
"Good tea." Xu Xiaoyang gave a compliment.
Then he drank the tea again by himself, as if he was just here as a guest.
"Pop, pop, pop!"
Tang Guanwen suddenly clapped his hands and applauded.
He looked at Xu Xiaoyang with a smile on his face, "Not bad, not bad. Sure enough, he is the chairman of the Lingxiao Group, a big shot!"
"Someone who has seen the world, just can't compare to those little minions I met before."
Xu Xiaoyang placed his teacup on the coffee table.
"I am grateful for Mr. Tang's compliments, in fact, I am just a small person."
"I wonder what Mr. Tang is calling me over today?"
Tang Guanwen smiled and said, "I want to talk to Chairman Xu about a business deal."
"Go ahead."
The smile on Tang Guanwen's face remained unchanged, but the look that came out from among his eyes was gradually sharpened.
"Chairman Xu, the Lingxiao Group is developing quite well in your hands."
"But, your Xu family is thin, so you can't do it without a backer behind you!"
"And as far as I know, your group hasn't even gone public until now."
"Your group's mode of operation, which is very rare in China."
"Economically speaking, you're wasting it."
"If it were me, with such a huge capital chain, I would definitely be the first to get the group listed."
"That way, you would be able to obtain more funds and then expand the group rapidly."
"And expand the business to foreign countries to become a large group with an international reputation!"
Tang Guanwen kept his eyes on Xu Xiaoyang.
He found that Xu Xiaoyang's expression had not changed much from the beginning to the end.
On the contrary, Xu Xiaoyang leaned his back on the sofa with a comfortable expression.
It was as if he really treated himself as a guest and just sat there with a leisurely look on his face.
Xu Xiaoyang said, "Mr. Tang, our group's operating philosophy may not be a bit different from the general public."
"The reason why the group doesn't go public is not just because we are timid."
"Rather, it is because we have a more long-term goal."
"As for expanding our business abroad as you mentioned, we're actually already doing that."
When these words came out, Tang Guanwen couldn't help but see his eyes light up.
The Lingxiao Group's business scope was relatively large, and what Tang Guanwen knew now was only the Lingxiao Group's investment projects within the capital region.
As for the investment operations in Ningzhou and the eastern region, he was not sure.
Now that Xu Xiaoyang had said so, Tang Guanwen was even more eager to get Lingxiao Group in his heart.
"Chairman Xu, let's just talk about it openly."
"Right now, your person is in my hands."
"If you want to live, you have to give up the Lingxiao Group to me."
"Otherwise, you as well as your family will not see the sun of tomorrow."
Faced with Tang Guanwen's threat, Xu Xiaoyang laughed instead.
"What are you laughing at?"
Tang Guanwen's face gradually cooled.
At this moment, he was already in an ugly state.
Xu Xiaoyang laughed and said, "Mr. Tang, you want to get our Lingxiao Group just through such a cup of tea."
"Isn't this price a bit too low?"
"Besides, you probably don't know our family too well."
"Our whole family has been subjected to many, many dangers and has experienced many, many things."
"But so far, all the people who have feuded with us, none of them have ended well oh!"
