The Su family in the northwest is located in a corner. If they want to further expand their territory, then entering the Su family's Elders' Association is a necessary move.
Because only by entering the Su Family Presbyterian Association can we rely on the Su family's background to expand. Otherwise, who would give them face from other wealthy families and collateral families? And who would take them seriously?
However, this move is not something that can be achieved easily. Although they have been operating in the northwest for hundreds of years and their energy cannot be underestimated, they are still a bit weak compared to other side forces of the Su family.
Who makes the northwest barren after all? It is not as developed as other places, and how much benefit can it get?
So the Northwest Su family wants to get out of the northwest.
They thought they would have to slowly accumulate strength, maybe ten or twenty years, maybe fifty or one hundred years, but they didn't expect that God gave them an opportunity to take a shortcut. This opportunity was to hug someone's lap. This was even possible for them.
An opportunity that no one thought of.
As a branch of the Su family, they naturally know the current situation of the Su family better than any outsider. After all, they have a lot of contacts with other branches of the Su family and have a lot of cooperation with each other.
The current patriarch Su Ruhui has only one direct grandson, which means that the only heir to the patriarch's lineage is Su Qin. Once the patriarch dies and Su Qin has another accident, then other collateral lines will have a chance. This is a well-known thing.
Secondly, if the clan leader dies, there is a high probability that the clan leader's forces will fall apart. There may not be many supporters of Su Qin as the heir, and other side clans will also take advantage of the chaos to attack him.
Su Qin, the heir, may end badly.
But knowing this, why did the Northwest Su family choose Su Qin?
Because since even they know about it, doesn’t the old fox, the clan leader, know about this situation?
Since the old patriarch knew about it, how could he not arrange a way out? Are he really waiting for the other side clans to attack Su Qin after he dies?
Furthermore, the old patriarch is still in good health and can safely let Su Qin take over. He will not hand over all his rights until Su Qin takes complete control of the situation.
Secondly, the old patriarch also controls the Su family’s most feared mausoleum guard. As long as he doesn’t die, no one will dare to act rashly?
Of course, for the Su family in the northwest, even if they support other branches to compete for the position of patriarch, no one may care about them, and they will not take that risk.
Even if you take risks, you will gain nothing.
But now that the young master is weak and weak, if they invest in the young master at this time, they are very likely to obtain large enough benefits with a small investment, such as entering the Su Elders' Association, but even if they cannot enter the Su Elders' Association, they will still be allowed to
They received unexpected gains.
This is an opportunity. If you miss it, you will never get it again.
Therefore, the Northwest Su family sent Su Qilin to come for an interview.
It’s just that there is information asymmetry between the two parties, and no one is willing to pay too much, so it is not necessarily possible to meet each other’s expectations.
Currently, Su Qilin is more anxious, so Su Qilin takes the initiative to speak.
His first question was, why choose Northwest?
Su Qin was silent for a moment before replying: "The reason for choosing the northwest is very simple. Other branches have not yet reached out to the northwest, and the power of other aristocratic families in the northwest is relatively weak."
Su Qilin's second question was more direct and the answer that the Northwest Su family cared more about. He said bluntly: "But our Northwest Su family is in the northwest. Although we don't have much business in Qinzhou, we have business interests in the other four states in the northwest.
Su Qin, do you want to annex our northwest Su family?"
Su Qin didn't expect that the Su family in the northwest still had such a taboo. Of course, it is understandable if there is such a taboo. He chuckled and said: "Uncle Lin, I don't mean this. If I really mean it, we won't be able to sit together today.
I guess Fang Jinglong has also talked to you, Uncle Qilin, so there won't be any big conflict between us."
"Su Qin, don't think I'm joking. This matter is very important to our family. We have to figure out what you want to do so that we can determine whether we can cooperate. Our biggest fear is to attract wolves into the house. You may be harmful to other bystanders.
He has some taboos, but he won’t treat us." Su Qilin stared at Su Qin and said.
Su Qin said loudly: "Uncle Qilin, you can rest assured on this. If I really want to do this, you can stand directly on the opposite side of me. When the time comes, other branches will watch me become bigger in the northwest.
?”
Su Qilin squinted his eyes and smiled: "Hahaha, we are just asking, don't think too much, being cautious is not a bad thing."
"I can understand." Su Qin chuckled.
Su Qilin drank another cup of tea and said: "I talked to Jinglong before. Jinglong has more contact with me. I also regard him as a brother. He said that you want our Northwest Su family to help and let you get it as soon as possible."
Going to the northwest?”
"That's probably what I mean. I pay more attention to the northwest. Before other branches or aristocratic families can react, taking the northwest is my best move." Su Qin said bluntly.
Su Qilin said half-jokingly: "Actually, it doesn't matter. Our northwest Su family belongs to the Su family, and you are the future patriarch of the Su family. It is right to support you."
"Uncle Qilin, this matter has nothing to do with the rest of the Su family, it's just that you chose to support me." Su Qin said with a smile.
Su Qilin said nonchalantly: "Actually, I can support you. Our Northwest Su family has been doing pretty well in the northwest for decades. We may not be able to reach out to other areas, but we still have some energy in the northwest, so you
We can support whatever we want to do, even if we have conditions."
"What are the conditions?" Su Qin said in a deep voice. Previously, Fang Jinglong was negotiating with Su Qilin, and many things were not included. Now, Su Qilin is talking to Su Qin face to face. Whether the negotiation can be successful depends on each other's sincerity.
Su Qilin stopped hiding and said with a smile: "It's very simple, as long as you promise to let the Northwest Su family return to the Presbyterian Church after inheriting the position of patriarch, the Northwest Su family will go all out to help you win the Northwest, no matter what
No matter what the price is, it’s worth it.”
Sure enough, the conditions are still the same and have not changed at all. The Su family in the northwest is really a lion.
Su Qin stared at Su Qilin for a few seconds, then laughed dumbly and said, "Uncle Qilin, are you sure this is the condition?"
"I think only with this condition can we be sufficiently attractive to the Su family in the northwest. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to persuade others to agree to support you, young master." Su Qilin said with a smile.
At this time, Su Qilin and Su Qin were already called Young Master.
Su Qin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Uncle Qilin, if this is really the condition, I don't think you are sincere, and there is no need for us to continue talking."
Su Qin's attitude was very direct, which Su Qilin expected. After all, when Fang Jinglong talked to him, he made it clear that this condition was not feasible, and Su Qilin still wanted to try.
"Su Qin, we are not asking you to confirm your agreement now, we are just saying that we will wait until you inherit the position of clan leader in the future." Su Qilin said tactfully.
Su Qin said thoughtfully: "Uncle Qilin, do you know what this means? There are only a few positions in the Su Family Elders' Association, and there have never been more positions. If the Su family in the northwest wants to come in, someone must leave. Who will
Are you willing to go out? Once I agree to you, I will offend all the members of the Presbyterian Church, so what do I want in the end? So I cannot agree to this condition."
The smile on Su Qilin's face gradually dissipated, and he said with an expression on his face: "Su Qin, does that mean we don't have to talk anymore?"
"If there are other conditions, I can continue to talk to you. If it is still the same condition, I don't think it is necessary." Su Qin's attitude remained firm.
Su Qilin didn't know how to continue chatting for a while.
The old man's attitude is also very clear, and he wants Su Qin to agree to the Northwest Su family's entry into the Presbyterian Church, but Su Qin's attitude is even more resolute, and he will not discuss it if this is the condition.
