Chapter 298 The Secret of Tianxiang
Just when Lu Fan was about to ask again, An Lan continued:
"If you are willing, the new chamber of commerce will be controlled by us together, and we can also let Beiqian Chamber of Commerce participate, and all the profits will be divided equally."
If Lu Fan was just confused just now, then he was suspicious now.
After all, the proposal made by An Lan was really incredible.
After secretly guessing in his heart, Lu Fan didn't want to waste time, so he asked directly:
"Miss An, if you really want to cooperate, then be honest.
Why do you want to form a new chamber of commerce, why do you want to find me and Beiqian Chamber of Commerce to cooperate?
In addition, what qualifications does the newly formed chamber of commerce have to cooperate with Beiqian Chamber of Commerce?"
If it is Tianxiang and Beiqian Chamber of Commerce that cooperate, then Lu Fan will naturally not mind.
After all, Tianxiang is his target, and it is quite beneficial to let Beiqian Chamber of Commerce cooperate with it in advance, so as to prepare for its annexation in the future.
But a newly formed chamber of commerce has nothing, how can he cooperate?
Although the Beiqian Chamber of Commerce cannot be compared with Tianxiang, it is now one of the best chambers of commerce in the northern border.
An Lan wants to use an unestablished empty shell chamber of commerce to cooperate with the Beiqian Chamber of Commerce. Isn't that a free-for-all?
Of course, compared to these, he is more curious about why An Lan wants to do this.
Facing Lu Fan's unceremonious questioning, An Lan suddenly fell silent, and a look of struggle and hesitation appeared in his eyes.
And Lu Fan also clearly saw the struggle and hesitation in An Lan's eyes.
This made him more interested.
However, An Lan did not take the initiative to speak, so he did not urge him, just looking at An Lan calmly.
Because he believed that An Lan would definitely speak.
After all, it was An Lan who took the initiative to come to him, not him who found An Lan, and the initiative was in his hands.
After a long silence, An Lan took a deep breath, looked at him with a complicated expression and said:
"Lu Fan, I... I need your help."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Fan's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise, but he still did not speak, looking at An Lan and motioning him to continue.
Under his gaze, An Lan took a deep breath, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes, and then she said the reason why she did it without hesitation.
As An Lan told the cause and effect of the matter, Lu Fan's face suddenly showed an extremely strange look.
He never thought that An Lan, who seemed to be in a prosperous situation, would have such a frustrated and helpless side.
It turned out that An Lan, the only daughter and the only heir of the president of Tianxiang Club, seemed prosperous, but in fact, she was in crisis step by step.
The reason why she came to the remote and barren eastern region was completely forced, or there was no other choice, and she was deliberately exiled here.
And all of this has to start from the time when Tianxiang Club was just established.
Tianxiang Club was founded by An Lan's grandfather, who was the old president respected by everyone in Tianxiang Club.
In addition to An Lan's grandfather, the old president, there were actually two other founders.
Those two people were good brothers and good partners of An Lan's grandfather, but among the three of them, An Lan's grandfather was respected.
The creation of Tianxiang Club also had the credit of those two people.
After the establishment of Tianxiang Club, the three people continued to expand Tianxiang Club through various means.
In less than a few hundred years, Tianxianghui has become a giant in Dongsheng Shenzhou.
At this time, Anlan's grandfather and the other two founders hid behind the scenes and became the three ancestors of Tianxiang, controlling everything in Tianxianghui behind the scenes.
Tianxianghui also carried out some reforms and established a president and two vice presidents.
Anlan's father served as the president, and the sons of the other two ancestors served as the two vice presidents, and this model will be the same in the future.
If there is no accident, Tianxianghui will continue to grow and develop in this way.
But when Anlan was born, the situation changed.
Because the heirs of the other two vice presidents were sons, but Anlan was a daughter.
What's more terrible is that Anlan's father lost the ability to give birth to offspring again due to some special reasons, so only Anlan was left as the direct bloodline.
This triggered the first internal conflict of Tianxianghui.
Because many people in Tianxianghui disagreed with Anlan becoming the next president.
After all, Anlan is a woman, how could a woman be allowed to helm Tianxianghui? This is something they can't accept.
However, due to the old president, An Lan's grandfather, and the current president, An Lan's father, these dissatisfactions were forcibly suppressed.
After more than ten years of peace, another great disaster occurred.
An Lan's grandfather went astray because of his failure to break through, and finally his meridians were shattered, his soul was severely damaged, and he finally died completely.
Before his death, An Lan's grandfather also severely injured the other two ancestors.
Fortunately, the two ancestors only suffered severe injuries and saved their lives.
This incident completely detonated the internal contradictions of Tianxianghui.
Previously, due to the old president and the current president, the dissatisfaction with An Lan within Tianxianghui was forcibly suppressed.
However, after the old president passed away, this dissatisfaction broke out again, and it was even more serious than before.
In order to train An Lan, An Lan's father let An Lan enter the headquarters of Tianxianghui early to participate in various affairs management.
But as these two things happened at the same time, the two vice presidents and six of the nine elders simultaneously attacked An Lan's father and forced him to give up the position of president.
After all, someone has to take the blame for such an important thing.
Fortunately, An Lan's father still has some means, and his own strength is not weak. With the support of the other three elders, he barely kept the position of president.
Although the position of president was saved, An Lan was driven out of the core of Tianxiang Club.
Directly exiled from Tianxiang City, the old nest of Tianxiang Club, to the most remote eastern region.
Although she became the person in charge of the eastern region of Shenzhou in name, it was not the case in reality.
Because most of the Tianxiang forces distributed in the eastern region were controlled by the two vice presidents.
Only the Tianxiang in Daqian belonged to her father's forces, so she stayed in Daqian.
If it was just like this, she would not have any great resentment.
But when she went to the eastern region, the two vice presidents secretly sent strong men to kill her.
She almost died at the hands of those assassins several times, but fortunately, she had the strong guards sent by her father.
When she arrived in Daqian, nearly 70% to 80% of the guards her father sent to protect her died.
These guards had protected her since she was a child and followed her around like family members.
How could she not hate the two vice presidents after losing so many at once?
But the two vice presidents are now powerful in Tianxiang Club and hold most of the power.
Even her father couldn't protect himself, let alone her, the exiled eldest lady of Tianxiang Club.
She tried every way to seek revenge, but it was useless.
She was just an exiled and disgraced eldest lady of Tianxiang Club, and she had no power at all.
So some of the forces she contacted in Dongzhou all refused to cooperate with her, and some even wanted to take advantage of the situation.
Even the Tianxiang forces in the eastern region were sarcastic and sneered at her, the eldest lady, and didn't take her seriously at all.
Because of this, her hatred for the two vice presidents was even stronger.
Originally, she thought she had no chance of revenge.
But at this time, Lu Fan appeared. Lu Fan's methods and strength gave her hope...
