The system only arrives when you're old? Then let's create a super-rich family!

Without firing a single shot, from a thousand miles away, using only money, they dismantled the power of the Shi clan, which had been entrenched in Qingshui County for a thousand years.

Qin Zihao's eyes narrowed.

He believed in his grandfather Qin Zheng's methods and confidence, but at this moment he really couldn't understand it.

According to Lu Chengan, the Shi family clan in Qingshui County had a deeply entrenched power, monopolizing all local resources, government agencies, and armed forces, making them virtually local tyrants.

No matter how much outside forces try to interfere in the planning, they will be squeezed out instantly if they even set foot in the local industry without the approval of the Shi family.

How can you possibly shake such a deeply rooted local family by just spending money and not sending people to make arrangements?

Countless thoughts flashed through Qin Zihao's mind as he quickly sorted out all possible business strategies.

Is the company monopolizing upstream supplies at high prices, completely cutting off Shijiazhuang's procurement channels?

Downstream markets are dumping products at a loss, squeezing Shijiazhuang's market share with low prices?

The idea itself is feasible, but both of them cannot bypass the actual planning, and it is impossible to "break the deadlock from a thousand miles away without losing a single soldier".

After pondering for a long time, Qin Zihao's eyes lit up as he caught a glimpse of a possibility. He looked up at Qin Zheng, whose expression was calm, and tentatively began to speak:

"Grandpa, are you planning to spend a lot of money to incite greed within the Shi family, sow discord through shared interests, and undermine their clan unity from within?"

This was the only solution he could think of that best fit the principle of "spending money without sending anyone".

Upon hearing this, Qin Zheng first nodded slightly, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes, then gently shook his head, his tone composed.

"The fact that you could think of using desire to break the deadlock shows that you have indeed made progress recently, and you understand human weaknesses and the game of interests. That's very good."

"But you're wrong. I don't need to bribe anyone from the Shi family to get them removed from the list."

After receiving a negative answer, Qin Zihao was not discouraged. Instead, he became even more curious, lowering his head to continue pondering, his brows furrowed with seriousness.

Meanwhile, Qin Jianjun, who had previously looked aggrieved, was now intently trying to figure out how Qin Zheng planned to spend the money.

Zhao Lin sat upright to one side, her brows slightly furrowed, lost in thought.

Lu Cheng'an stood with a bow, his expression solemn, his mind also pondering Qin Zheng's proposed solution to the predicament.

For a moment, the entire luxurious and tranquil presidential suite fell into complete silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone's thoughts were completely focused on the idea of ​​"annihilating the Shi family without losing a single soldier".

In the quiet living room, only the crisp clinking of Qin Zheng picking up and putting down his teacup could be heard, a few sounds, yet exceptionally clear.

Qin Zihao mentally rehearsed countless tactics: commercial encirclement, media pressure, capital blockade, and checks and balances through personal connections...

However, almost all of these methods require manpower for implementation and execution.

In the end, he could only refer to the Xie family's previous ruthless methods in suppressing the Qin family and return to his most basic conjecture.

Only by completely locking down all external resources of a county and cutting off the flow of goods, people, and economy can the powerful families that have entrenched themselves in the local area be trapped.

He looked up, and with a hint of uncertainty, asked again:

"Grandpa, are you planning to buy out all the supply channels in and out of Qingshui County at a high price, trapping the Shi family like caged birds and starving them to death?"

Qin Zheng glanced at Qin Zihao indifferently, and shook his head again, saying:

"Too slow."

"This slow, insidious siege tactic of 'boiling the frog in water' takes too long; I don't have the patience to drag it out with them."

He tapped his fingers lightly on the table and said confidently:

"At the latest, I will make the Shi family completely collapse within seven days and completely remove them from the list of Brahman families in the Dragon Kingdom."

hiss!

These words, carrying immense weight, struck everyone's hearts with devastating force.

Seven days!

Without sending a single person or setting foot in Qingshui County, they destroyed an old clan family that had been rooted for half a year and whose influence even the central government could not shake, simply by using money to create momentum.

The four people in the room all looked up at the same time, their eyes falling on Qin Zheng, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

Qin Jianjun stared wide-eyed, leaned forward, and adopted an extremely humble posture, his face full of curiosity and ingratiation.

"Dad, could you please enlighten me? If you don't send anyone over, I really can't figure out how to deal with the Shi family within seven days."

Looking at his eldest son's clumsy and simple appearance, Qin Zheng couldn't help but chuckle and flicked him lightly.

"Snapped!"

A crisp snap on the head echoed throughout the living room.

"With a brain like yours, even if you ate 100,000 tons of walnuts, you still wouldn't be able to figure out the trick to it."

The physical and mental blows instantly deflated Qin Jianjun. He shrank back, reverting to his pitiful, silent state, and sat quietly to the side, not daring to utter another word.

Seeing his son's cowardly state, Qin Zheng couldn't help but chuckle and casually offered words of comfort, which was also a way of soothing his son's frustration at losing hundreds of billions.

"But you've gotten away with this by accident, doing Chen Jun a great favor."

"The Shi family is a Brahmin family that even the central government is powerless to touch. Whoever can completely eradicate the Shi family will achieve a truly great political achievement."

"Chen Jun's opportunity arose because of you. He can rely on this outstanding achievement to rise rapidly in his career, and you, his father-in-law, will also be proud."

Qin Zheng's words were meant to comfort and reassure, but they had the opposite effect on Qin Jianjun.

His heart instantly turned dark again, and he made a deep grudge against Chen Jun once more.

You brat, you're all glamorous in public, while I'm secretly running errands for you?

Why should I?!

He gritted his teeth secretly, having already made up his mind.

Qin Jianjun suddenly made a decision: when Chen Jun came to his house again, he would have Lu Zheng, Zhou Lin, and Li Xiao all take turns to train him hard, determined to make Chen Jun suffer before he could vent his anger!

Seeing Qin Jianjun's head bowed in silence, his expression shifting, Qin Zheng raised an eyebrow slightly and casually asked.

"What's wrong? Your son-in-law has been promoted and is doing well, something that should make you proud. Why do you look so sullen?"

Qin Jianjun froze, then quickly regained his senses, raised his head, and forced a bright smile, but his tone was filled with gritted teeth.

"Dad, you're overthinking it. I'm so happy! Really!"

These words were spoken in a happy tone, but they sounded like they were gritting their teeth.

Zhao Lin, standing to the side, sighed and shook her head, her eyes filled with speechlessness.

She knew perfectly well what her man was thinking.

Her husband was good in every way, except that he loved to argue with Chen Jun.

She needs to talk to him tonight.

Seeing this, Qin Zheng realized that there seemed to be some unresolved grudges between his eldest brother and Chen Jun, the father-in-law and son-in-law. His words just now seemed to have upset his eldest brother.

How old are you? Why are you arguing with a young person?

But then, thinking back to Qin Jianjun's childish way of complaining on the phone earlier, the contrast seemed perfectly normal.

Oh well, let them be...

He couldn't be bothered with the awkward little things between the father-in-law and son-in-law.

Poor Chen Jun has no idea that Zhao Lin's well-intentioned advice tonight not only failed to resolve the conflict with his father-in-law, but will also subject him to a series of harsh tests every time he visits his father-in-law in the future.

Over here, Qin Zheng turned to look at Lu Cheng'an beside him and gave the order:

"We've booked all the trending topics for this week and are also hiring people to promote it extensively. Taking advantage of the 'Road to the East' international project, Zhenshi Group will soon conduct a comprehensive survey of Qingshui County and surrounding counties, planning to invest trillions of yuan, integrate regional resources, and directly upgrade the entire county into a brand-new prefecture-level city."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Zihao, standing to the side, looked completely confused, his brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but ask:

"Grandpa, I don't understand."

"Relying on a trending news story about an investment visit to impact the internal power of the Shi family? I don't think this method is very useful. The Shi family is not stupid. They can simply ignore it and wait for the surrounding economy to spread and reap the benefits."

Qin Zihao has been learning and growing recently, and he knows that the economy of first-tier cities can radiate to the surrounding areas.

Most importantly, how could this news possibly have wiped out the Shi family in seven days?

Lu Chengan, who was standing to the side, also agreed with Qin Zihao's opinion.

The Shi family's rule in Qingshui County is deeply entrenched, comparable to that of a local tyrant. Relying solely on a trending topic and the hype of trillions of yuan in investment has indeed yielded little effect, like scratching an itch through a boot.

The hall fell silent again, and all eyes turned to Qin Zheng once more.

Faced with the questioning looks of the crowd, Qin Zheng appeared confident, but then said in a pretentious tone:

"My dear grandson, let me keep you in suspense for now."

"After you see what Grandpa did in the first three days, you'll know how he managed to wipe the Shi family out of the country within seven days without firing a single shot."

You must learn this lesson well.
