The Strongest Mad Son-in-law

The crowd's gaze all turned toward this young man.

This young man was the only son under the knees of the Mao family's second elder, named Mao Junyuan. Although he was only twenty-one years old, he always spoke insightfully.

Moreover, even when facing Mao Ping at this moment, he could still speak without the slightest panic, neither humble nor arrogant, which was truly surprising.

After all, when facing Mao Ping at this time, many people didn't dare to make a sound, let alone offer suggestions, for fear of saying something wrong and angering Mao Ping.

However, Mao Junyuan dared!

In contrast, Mao Yisheng and Mao Jinxi, as Mao Ping's sons, paled in comparison. As for Mao Kun, Mao Ping's second son studying abroad, no one even mentioned him.

Mao Ping looked at him and slowly said, "Tell me your thoughts in detail."

Receiving affirmation, Mao Junyuan took a deep breath and spoke, "The rise of Xu Hao is now unstoppable. Relying on our own abilities, we absolutely cannot obstruct him. This is an undeniable fact, and I hope the elders will acknowledge it."

Many people nodded in agreement. The fact was indeed so. They no longer dared to have any ideas of confronting Xu Hao alone, as that would be akin to hitting a stone with an egg.

At this point, like Mao Junyuan, they could only seek external assistance.

However, how exactly to seek external assistance is a topic worth delving into.

Mao Junyuan continued, "When we seek external assistance, there must be a big premise that we must occupy the dominant position. Otherwise, seeking external assistance would become inviting a wolf into our house, which gains us nothing but more losses."

Many people nodded again. It made a lot of sense.

"Therefore, we must clearly recognize that we need to find an ally who can defeat Xu Hao in certain aspects while still allowing us to maintain the dominant position. Both must be accomplished," stated Mao Junyuan confidently.

Mao Ping nodded slightly and said, "Well said, makes sense, continue."

Mao Junyuan promptly made a respectful gesture and said, "Our Mao family is a family of merchants, with a tradition of focusing on business for generations. If we were to seek an alliance with a powerful Martial Arts Family, putting aside whether we could take down Xu Hao, just their status as a Martial Arts Family would naturally position our Mao family inferior. Hence, we should look for commercially strong Noble Families."

"The idea is good, let's hear your specific plan," said Mao Ping.

"Looking throughout Tiannan Province, Miaojiang Province, and Jiangnan Province, aside from our Mao family, the only families that can be compared with us are the Zhao Family and the Su Family. Our three families can initially form an Alliance, but there are other commercially promising families.

Although their individual strength is not strong and significantly inferior to our Mao family, they are still a substantial force. I believe we can persuade those family forces to agree to join our Alliance.

After the Alliance is formed, we must use all our resources to blockade Xu Hao's Xu Liu Group's sales in Tiannan, Jiangnan, and Miaojiang provinces, while inducing Xu Hao to sign a contract with us—one that he will regret for a lifetime," Mao Junyuan laid out his entire plan.

At family council meetings, almost no one holds back but rather contributes all of their ideas.

Because anyone who can contribute to the family will receive numerous rewards, why would anyone intentionally hold back?

After Mao Junyuan finished speaking, everyone fell into meditation.

After a long while, Mao Ping said, "I find this idea very feasible. Does anyone oppose it? If those opposing do not exceed twenty percent, I will have it executed."

No one opposed.

Since the Family Head had already made a decision, and they had no better plan, they might as well agree.

Mao Ping immediately said, "Good! Then I appoint Mao Junyuan as this envoy to persuade those family members. How long do you think it will take to complete the task?"

Mao Junyuan said immediately, "If the family fully supports my actions, our strategic blockade alliance will be fully formed within a week!"

"Great! Then we await your good news!" Mao Ping said happily.

Mao Yisheng and Mao Jinxi, sitting below, exchanged a glance and saw a sense of disheartenment in each other's eyes.

From today onwards, the two of them were completely out, while Mao Junyuan was beginning to enter the public eye, becoming the new leading figure of the Mao family's new generation!

...

The matters concerning the Xu Liu Group were temporarily concluded.

Xu Hao did not heavily punish those who had aligned with Su Qingshan at the time, as they were merely ordinary employees without the responsibility and obligation to protect the company.

But, Xu Hao still chose to dismiss them.

Even though it accounted for up to seventy percent and might potentially lead to Xu Liu Group being half paralyzed for at least a week, Xu Hao did not hesitate!

As for those less than thirty percent of employees, each worked overtime desperately and earned at least twice their usual salary!
