Chapter 1424

Seeing He Hongsheng's firm attitude, Su Anshun was suddenly in a panic. He did not know why this old fellow He Hongsheng had suddenly changed his mind, and he did not know how he would report back to Elder Su.

With a mournful face, he pleaded desperately: "Elder He, is it that you are still not satisfied with the money? It doesn't matter. If you are not satisfied, you can just bring it up. Our Master said that two billion is just an indicative price, but if you are not satisfied with this quote, the Master can add more. Three billion, what do you think?!"

"Three billion?!" He Yingquan, who was on the side, was almost going crazy.

He didn't have time to think about what three billion meant; he could only tell himself that by increasing the original twenty billion by half, he could buy larger mansions all over the world, luxury yachts could be half as large again, and private jets could also be half as large again!

He Yingquan stared at his father with bloodshot eyes and blurted out: "Dad! What are you still hesitating for? This is 3 billion!"

He Hongsheng shouted coldly: "Even if it were thirty billion, I would still refuse!"

Su Anshun was stunned.

He had originally thought that if He Hongsheng was still not satisfied with the three-billion quote, he would just raise it a bit more.

But now it seemed there was no need to raise it at all.

His expression gradually turned gloomy, and he nodded heavily, saying: "Fine! Fine! You people surnamed He are truly something!"

After saying that, he pointed at He Hongsheng and gritted his teeth: "Elder He, you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. I will record this debt on behalf of the Master. If you are made to pay it back with interest in the future, don't blame me for not reminding you today!"

He Hongsheng said sternly: "Record it if you want. I, He Hongsheng, have never been a person who fears trouble!"

After finishing, he slapped the table and said coldly: "Someone! See the guest out!"

"No need!" Su Anshun gritted his teeth and blurted out: "I'll go myself!"

After saying that, he glared at He Hongsheng with hatred and walked out of the dining hall without looking back.

He Yingquan stomped his feet in anxiety and blurted out: "Dad! Have you lost your mind?! We cannot afford to offend the Su family!"

He Hongsheng said coldly: "I am the head of the He family, and I will bear all the consequences."

He Yingquan knew he couldn't persuade his father, so in his anxiety, he turned around and chased after Su Anshun.

Su Anshun arrived outside the He family mansion in anger, just as the motorcade consisting of several buses and trucks drove over in a grand manner.

As soon as the bus at the front stopped, Su Anshun stepped on and said directly to the driver: "Just me, go to the airport!"

While the driver was surprised, He Yingquan ran over, held onto the bus door frame, and said to Su Anshun on the bus: "Steward Su, please calm your anger!"

"Calm my anger?" Su Anshun glared at He Yingquan: "Calm my ass! Your He family is capable now! Let's wait and see!"

He Yingquan hurriedly said: "Steward Su, listen to me. My father is an old stubborn. Give me some time, and I will persuade him properly. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!"

Su Anshun said disdainfully: "Forget it, He Yingquan. What kind of personality does your old man have? I know very well. If you could persuade him, then the head of the He family would be you, not him! He is over eighty and still unwilling to pass the position to you; it's clear he doesn't trust your ability! Since he doesn't trust you, how could he listen to your advice?"

He Yingquan was flushed with shame by Su Anshun's words.

Although Su Anshun had the intention of sowing discord, his words were not without some truth.

The reason He Hongsheng had not passed the position of family head to He Yingquan until now was indeed because he did not trust his ability enough, and even less his determination.

He Yingquan had long had complaints about this.

He knew very well that if this were ancient times, he would be the Crown Prince, but what emperor would wait until he was over eighty without abdicating?

Wasn't this clearly forcing the Crown Prince to rebel?

Therefore, hearing Su Anshun's words, a fire of anger rose in his heart.

Immediately after, he spoke with a cold face: "Steward Su, you are right. I really cannot persuade my father."

As he spoke, He Yingquan changed the subject and blurted out: "But I can persuade my own legs!"

When Su Anshun heard this, his eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "Yingquan, what exactly do you mean by that?"

He Yingquan blurted out: "It's very simple. My father is unwilling to cooperate with the Su family, but I am willing. My cultivation in the He family is second only to the Old Master, and I have two sons and a group of subordinates willing to follow me. As long as Elder Su thinks highly of us, I am willing to take people to Su Hang to report to Elder Su!"

Su Anshun was overjoyed.

He thought to himself: "That old thing surnamed He is truly too stubborn; it's impossible to persuade him to turn back. But this He Yingquan seems very sincere. If he really has a group of followers and can take them to Su Hang to serve the Master, then my mission this time won't be a complete failure."

Thinking of this, he immediately changed to a very happy attitude and said to He Yingquan with a smile: "Haha, Yingquan, come, get on and let's talk!"

As he spoke, he actually took the initiative to reach out and pull He Yingquan up.

At this time, inside the He family mansion.

He Hongsheng had already announced to the entire family that cooperation with the Su family would be terminated completely, and the He family members who were originally prepared to set off for Su Hang early in the morning did not need to bother anymore.

After announcing this news, He Hongsheng took He Yingxiu to the ancestral hall located at the He family's ancestral grave.

He wanted to tell the He family ancestors the good news of his breakthrough in four meridians in person.

However, once the news that he would not cooperate with the Su family came out, the entire He family had some who were happy and some who were sad.

In fact, no family can be of one mind.

Every small family, and even every individual, has their own set of small calculations.

The reason why there had never been any conflicts over the years was mainly because the Old Master had strong management ability and strong prestige, and no one in the entire He family dared to disobey him.

But as the saying goes, taking someone's wealth is like killing their parents.

In this world, many people value money much more than family affection.

In other words, as long as the price is right and meets their psychological expectations, the vast majority of people will betray family affection.

It's just that everyone's price deep down is different.

Some with poor economic conditions might completely fall out with their siblings and never see each other again for the sake of their parents' one or two thousand yuan monthly pension.

As for those with very good economic conditions, they look harmonious on the surface, but once the battle for huge family assets begins, everyone will use all their strength to deal with their own loved ones.

Now, He Hongsheng had rejected the Su family's cooperation offer of twenty billion, or even thirty billion, which was equivalent to directly drawing a clear line between the entire He family and this huge sum of money.

Some didn't care about this money, but some cared more about it than anything else.

And those who cared were now wishing they could drink the Old Master's blood and eat the Old Master's flesh.

However, the Old Master had the highest prestige and the highest cultivation, and no one could afford to provoke him, so they could only be angry but dare not speak.

But, under these circumstances where everyone had their own hidden agendas, He Yingquan used the fastest time to meet with several brothers and several uncles.

After his lobbying, almost half of the people were willing to go with him to Su Hang to serve the Su family.

Just as He Hongsheng was lighting three sandalwood incense sticks in front of each ancestor's spirit tablet, his youngest son, He Yingdong, ran over and reported loudly outside the door: "Dad, it's bad! Eldest brother has taken forty or fifty family members and is preparing to get on the bus with Su Anshun to Su Hang!"
