“Do you remember, the last words my father gave?”
Although Zhou’s father died early, because Cao Sui and Zhou Yong had an extremely good personal relationship, and the two families’ own interests were bound together rather strongly. Therefore, Zhou Yong did not simply regard Cao Sui as a brother-in-law of his own.
To some extent, he also treated Cao Sui as his own brother.
The two were already relatives, and this kind of operation was the norm in a large business family.
This was because it would obviously be safer and more trustworthy.
The two men were extremely close, and naturally, in many cases, they had a deep friendship, and after drinking more wine, they could naturally say anything. From Hou Yong’s mouth, Cao Sui had actually heard a lot about what happened to Zhou’s father before he died.
The last words of Zhou’s father were obviously a secret among secrets, and the fact that Cao Sui knew about them was an indication of the relationship between them.
“You mean, the famous shop
The secret passage nearby?”
Zhou Yong nodded.
Zhou Yong’s family had done business with the Famous Gate Shop since Zhou Yong’s father’s generation. However, at that time, the Namekian Store was not firmly established, and from time to time, it was also attacked by the old demon forces.
The reason for this is simple: no major power would allow the rise of another power outside its own eyes.
So, at that time, Zhou Yong’s father faced a great risk in doing business with the Famous Gate Shop.
On a few occasions, the enemy even killed the famous shop directly.
Although they could not attack the big mountain of Mingmendian, they could use the key position of being under the mountain of Mingmen to execute a different plan.
This plan was to snipe all the merchants who worked for Mingmendian.
Without the support and trade of these merchants, the Namek shop would be in name only.
With such sniping, the original
Many of the merchants who did business with the shop died under its knife, and those who managed to survive were somewhat afraid to do business with the shop.
After all, it is true that money is important, but what is more important is one’s own life.
However, at that time, the Zhou family was at a critical stage in its rise to power, so they did not dare to give up these important deals so easily.
So, for the sake of the Zhou family’s future, Zhou’s father had no choice but to take the risk at that time.
In fact, at the beginning, everything was still very normal, and although there were some scares, the overall situation was safe. But as the number of times increased and the businessmen reduced their burn, soon, Zhou’s father became a thorn in the side of the old powers as well as a key target.
On top of this, Zhou’s father faced more and more danger.
Zhou’s father also knew very well that, as the saying goes, there is no such thing as not getting your shoes wet. Therefore, in order to have a smoother future, Zhou’s father found a group of artisans
A special road was built.
This road, almost a very secluded one, leads from outside to the famous shop.
It is essentially constructed by tunnels, but inside the tunnels there is something else.
Inside, apart from basic ventilation, there is plenty of supplies and, of course, most importantly, a defence inside.
All the walls inside are made of a special material that not only blocks all sound but also, crucially, blocks breath.
This was also specially made by Zhou’s father at a considerable cost back then.
It is no exaggeration to say that this tunnel almost cost Zhou’s father the entire savings of the first half of his life. But Zhou’s father was actually very clear that this money had to be spent.
Because he understood that if he didn’t go for this, then it would be very difficult to do business in the future.
If you want to be rich, you have to build roads first! No
There is no other choice.
It also turns out that Zhou’s father was right in thinking this way, and although he seemed to be throwing his weight around, he actually became one of the businessmen who had the most contact with the famous shop because of this secret road.
Naturally, under these circumstances, the Zhou family gradually acquired great wealth and in the process the Zhou family grew rapidly, eventually becoming one of the top major families.
Later, the famous shops grew and the Zhou family had different roots. Everyone’s circumstances with each other were completely different, and this secret path gradually sank among history.
Zhou’s father told him to Zhou Yong, actually keeping an extra eye on him.
Because this secret path, even the famous shop itself, did not know about it.
Zhou’s father’s mind was thinking that in case Mingmen Store unloads one day, his son could still have a place to escape, who would have thought that it would now be used for another purpose ……
