Chapter 769: President of Nanyang Tang Clan

After a loud bang, the ground of the entire manor shook, the surrounding bluestone floor shattered into pieces, and smoke and dust rose up.

Many people who had never practiced martial arts staggered and nearly fell to the ground. The tall stacked Arhat tables not far away that had not been removed were also shaking and about to topple over.

Bai Quanyi, who was standing near the Arhat Table, immediately pounced over, and with the hidden power in his hands, he slapped the shaking Arhat Table twice, and the stacked Arhat Table finally stabilized.

When the smoke and dust cleared, everyone looked towards the center of the arena, and saw that the only person left was the disheveled Zhao Guangrong, who was standing up from the ground.

As for Lu Cheng, he had already retreated beyond the range of the smoke and dust.

Moreover, Zhao Guangrong was in a very sorry state at this moment. His originally bright and beautiful high-end custom-made dress had now turned into a tattered beggar's outfit. His muscles, which were clearly defined and comparable to marble, were now covered with bloodstains.

In contrast, Lu Cheng was still calm and composed, and his clothes were spotless, as if he had not just experienced a fierce battle, but just walked around the yard.

Looking at the ground in the manor again, wherever the two had just fought, the celadon floor had already been completely shattered, and even a palm-sized fragment had grown out.

Even the bluestone slabs more than ten steps away from the two men were shattered into pieces.

A young girl whose family runs a construction business couldn't help but whisper, "If these two go to do the demolition, they can be as good as an entire demolition team, right?"

As soon as the voice came out, the old father beside her was so scared that he quickly covered her mouth and looked at the field with some embarrassment. Seeing that Lu Cheng didn't look at this side, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't talk nonsense."

Looking at Zhao Guangrong at this moment, his aura had dissipated, and even his eyes were a little dazed. He thought that he might lose, but he didn't expect to lose so easily and so miserably.

Zhao Guangrong even felt that there was something wrong with the way people around him looked at him.

Zhao Guangrong stood up and bowed to Lu Cheng in a somewhat lost state: "I have lost, and I accept the loss wholeheartedly. From now on, I am willing to hand over the military power in my hands and withdraw from the Tang Sect!"

At this time, Lu Cheng laughed out loud: "Master Zhao, there is no need to do this. The previous bet was just a momentary anger. The Zhao family is an important pillar of the Nanyang Tang Sect. How can we withdraw easily? Besides, Zi Chen and I plan to gather military power in order to strengthen unity to deal with foreign enemies. In order to avoid being divided and defeated by our enemies.

It is not to completely take away the military power. Moreover, from now on, the soldiers of our Tang Sect will be supported by the General Association, and there is no need for the major families to pay, which can also reduce expenses for everyone. In addition, the Zhao family can also retain 300 elite soldiers as private soldiers.

In addition, the integrated troops still belong to the entire Tang Sect. If the families need military assistance, they can apply to me. As long as it is reasonable, I can mobilize troops to ensure that everyone's economic interests will not be harmed..."

As soon as the necessity came out, most of the small and medium-sized families present couldn't help but get excited. Even some of the Tang Clan elders in the Philippines began to support Lu Cheng.

The reason is very simple. Over the years, Zhao Guangrong and Lin Shifeng have basically controlled the Tang Clan mercenaries in the Philippines. Other small families have contributed money and manpower, but it is difficult for them to get any returns or benefits, and most of them are even unwilling to invest in it.

On the contrary, the Zhao family and the Lin family relied on these three thousand soldiers to do a lot of business. The family's power expanded a lot, and they even annexed some small and medium-sized families.

If all the troops belonged to the Tang Clan, those small and medium-sized families would no longer need to provide money and manpower for support. When they needed to borrow troops, they would be willing to pay a higher price. It would be better than the previous monopoly of the Zhao and Lin families.

Then, Tang Zichen also stood up and said, "Brothers and sisters, uncles and elders of the Tang Sect. When we first established the Tang Sect, we wanted to unite all the oppressed Chinese groups so that they would no longer be oppressed. But over the years, our Nanyang Tang Sect has been gradually divided into the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia.

In name, we are still a whole, but in reality, we are already torn apart. Some have even been divided and co-opted by the government. They are no longer of the same mind as us. If another ten or eight years pass, I am afraid that the entire Nanyang Tang Sect will completely fall apart. We will encounter the tragedy of ten years ago again..."

When everyone heard this, they all fell silent, knowing that what Tang Zichen said was true.

Even some of the small and medium-sized families present have begun to look for other ways out in the past two years, such as transferring assets to China or Hong Kong.

However, they have been operating in Nanyang for at least several generations, and most of their assets have become fixed assets, and they have completely taken root here.

If you migrate rashly, you will not only face heavy losses, but you may not be able to gain a foothold in the new place.

As long as there is a choice, who would be willing to leave easily?

Originally, when Zhao Guangrong said he wanted to quit the Tang Sect, you didn't really want to quit, but wanted to retreat in order to advance.

The Zhao family is the most powerful Chinese business family in the Philippines, with influence and connections spread all over the place. If they directly withdraw from the Tang Clan, or bring in a few families close to them, they can completely become independent and cause the Tang Clan in the Philippines to lose most of its strength.

However, Lu Cheng and Tang Zichen's words, combined with their fighting and defense, quickly changed the situation.

Then, Tang Zichen said, "Brother Zhao, I just wanted to set up a military management committee to manage the military power of our Nanyang Tang Sect, so that they would no longer become a one-man show. Brother Zhao and Brother Lin have both made great contributions to the establishment of our Nanyang Tang Sect. They also charged into battle and assassinated those officials who threatened us.

As for you, I have already decided to let you join this management committee. Here is a document, which is also a rough list I prepared in advance. You may as well sit down and take this opportunity to have a good discussion..."

Once the need arises, no matter how dissatisfied Zhao Guangrong is, he cannot say that he will quit the Tang Sect. Otherwise, he would be really disregarding the greater good and becoming an enemy of the entire Tang Sect.

Not only that, even Lin Shifeng didn't say anything more.

Lu Cheng glanced at Lin Shifeng and saw that this guy actually accepted all the arrangements calmly at this moment, so he ignored him for the time being.

The Tang Clan's family reunion meeting was also a great day. The main goal was the transition and handover of power.

As for eliminating the traitor, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

Moreover, although Lu Cheng knew some of Lin Shifeng's background, he still lacked concrete evidence and needed some intelligence support.

Afterwards, Tang Zichen had someone distribute the printed management committee list to everyone.

When everyone saw that Singapore's Chen Ai Yang and Bagua master Cheng Shan Ming who was far away in North America also appeared at the end of the list, they couldn't help but be surprised.

Chen Aiyang is still okay, but Cheng Shanming from Canada is not part of the Nanyang circle, but he was also added by Tang Zichen.

Some smart people couldn't help but look at Lu Cheng, guessing that this might be a capable person arranged by Tang Zichen for Lu Cheng to quickly secure the position of the president of the Nanyang Tang Clan.

Whether in terms of family strength or personal force, Cheng Shanming is a well-known celebrity in the Chinese community all over the world.

Moreover, the Cheng family started out in the eyewear industry, which is also a very profitable formal industry. They have businesses all over the world and are definitely a force that cannot be underestimated.

Some small and medium-sized families were excited when they saw Cheng Shanming's name appear on the list.

With this person joining, the strength of the entire Nanyang Tang Sect will be enhanced, which will benefit everyone.

Moreover, the Cheng family’s business does not conflict with everyone’s business, and there will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future.
