NOVEL NEXT Chapter 985: 985
"So, you're saying the Southern is more progressive, the Northern is conservative, what about Tiandu?"
Liu Zhizhong's question was asked rather properly.
Zheng Xitong smiled and said, "As for Tiandu, internally it's also divided into Conservative and Enlightened factions, both equally matched! Overall, whether it's the Nanyue Meeting or the Horse Racing Association or Tiandu, they all formed for the sake of interests in the power balance of the world."
"Without unity, it's hard to accomplish anything, that's a rule since ancient times. Here in the Southern side, we are a bit more open-minded. Some of our powerful people's children like to go abroad for further studies, and then they don't return."
"The Northern side also has many children going abroad for further studies, but most of them eventually get their degrees and come back, getting into politics or inheriting family businesses or so."
"Those who don't return are the ones with vision and a pursuit of freedom. Those who do return are aiming for a local emperor mindset, those who understand, understand."
"As for Tiandu, looking at the statistics of recent years, those who return and those who don't each occupy about half, interesting, isn't it?"
Liu Zhizhong chuckled silently, nodded, and lowered his head to drink tea. This kind of structure sounds quite interesting.
After finishing a sip of tea, he said, "So, the Nanyue Meeting, the Horse Racing Association, and Tiandu, the three of them are dividing the world?"
Zheng Xitong shook his head, "It seems like that for now, but in reality, the world is still controlled by Tiandu. Tiandu has quite significant suppression power over Nanyue and the Horse Racing. Of course, in another sense, Nanyue and the Horse Racing don't want to buy into Tiandu's schemes, they have their own ways. Like the last time, when that bastard in Tiandu aimed for Xiaoyue, haha…"
As he spoke, Zheng Xitong laughed and gave Liu Zhizhong a thumbs up, "You did well with that move! It hit Tiandu right where it hurts in terms of face, so they don't dare to excessively suppress locals."
Liu Zhizhong understood, sighing, "After all, it's a collective entrenched in Tiandu, the very center of power, they have some innate advantage over locals. Of course, wanting face and also benefits is not that easy in the world."
"Haha… right, wanting both, how is that even possible?"
Zheng Xitong brushed off some ash from his cigarette, looking quite pleased.
Liu Zhizhong continued, "Then, my main task for this trip to the Nanyue Meeting is?"
"The members of the Nanyue Meeting have always been relatively open-minded, so they always pursue younger futures for their members. Therefore, each year at the Nanyue Meeting, the majority of participants are still young and middle-aged members from various powerful families. Relatively few are older people. You, naturally, will represent the Zheng Family there, got it?"
"Oh, I understand, I understand. Thank you for your trust, godfather. What should I pay attention to?"
"Well, you'll probably go South with Qian Xuan, Xiaoyue, and the others. When the time comes, you should…"
Zheng Xitong detailed the relevant situations and requirements to Liu Zhizhong.
Liu Zhizhong took out his phone to record, saying that such an important meeting needs to record all of godfather's instructions.
Zheng Xitong was also quite pleased and satisfied with this approach.
After Zheng Xitong finished speaking, Liu Zhizhong had mostly remembered everything. With his exceptional memory and the phone recording, he had undoubtedly taken on his assignment.
Just as Liu Zhizhong was pledging to attend the meeting well, Zheng Xitong said, "Attending the Nanyue Meeting is not your most important task in the South, there is another task, make sure you complete it well!"
