Chapter 2024 What should he do?

Jiang Shang was completely dumbfounded.

Pointing at Lu Chengwen's back, he asked, "What is he doing?"

Jiang Yuanzheng shook his head: "They're panicking. They're obviously afraid you'll kill him and throw him in a ditch, so they're throwing money around to save themselves."

Jiang Shang angrily said, "Go and stop him! This is a Jiang family event; he mustn't cause trouble!"

"Yes."

Lu Chengwen held up his wine glass:

"About a year ago, I established the Northern Ancient Martial Arts Bank. I believe that some sects and families from the Northern Kingdom know about this and should have some cooperation with my bank."

"In less than a year, Guwu Bank has attracted more than 40 billion yuan in funds, issued more than 20 billion yuan in loans, and assisted in nearly 30 billion yuan in investments."

"The ancient martial arts community in the North has long been collectively taking calcium supplements."

"Now! I clearly feel that a profound and enormous change is taking place in the ancient martial arts world. The traditional management and income models are too simplistic, which has already made many families and sects sense a crisis. Those of you here are all remarkable family and sect leaders with foresight and strategic thinking."

"Can you continue to keep the sect running by relying on subsidies and your existing shady businesses?"

The people below remained silent, looking at each other in silence.

"Now! I've decided to open another special bank, exclusively for high-end clients! That is, all of you here, and those who are not here but are qualified. Specifically, those who, like you, are powerful, of high moral character, possess forward-looking strategic vision, are courageous enough to adapt to the times and make changes, and have privately managed funds exceeding one hundred million!"

Jiang Yuanzheng walked over, pulled Lu Chengwen aside, and whispered, "What are you doing?"

Lu Chengwen leaned close to his ear: "Scam their money."

"Oh."

Lu Chengwen continued, “In the past, everyone’s income was very limited: making money, saving money, negotiating with banks to get a good interest rate. But in my bank, you can do business and make investments.”

"Why should we entrust tens or even hundreds of billions of dollars to banks, allowing those cold-blooded, selfish, brutal, and profit-driven capitalists to make huge profits from our money, while we only receive a little bit of interest? Is that fair?"

One person blurted out, "That's unfair!"

Lu Chengwen pointed at that person with an air of dominance: "You're right! Very fucking right!"

The man nodded confidently at Lu Chengwen.

“They’ve exploited us for far too long! For far too long! I can’t stand it, I can’t stand people as noble, kind, and righteous as you being exploited, bullied, robbed, and plundered by those filthy, vulgar bastards who only have money in their eyes and no sense of justice or compassion! Haven’t you had enough?”

Lu Chengwen asked a family head, "Have you had enough?"

"I've had enough," he said, sounding aggrieved.

"Speak louder! Haven't you had enough?"

"I've had enough!" the man shouted.

"Should we change it!?"

"want!"

Lu Chengwen turned around, took two steps back, then spun around again and roared, "Tell me, do you want to change?!"

Everyone shouted excitedly in unison, "Yes!"

"OK, good! Very good!"

Lu Chengwen excitedly pointed to the sky: "Today, all the heroes of the martial arts world gather here! Lu Chengwen, with tears in his eyes, is launching a high-end, prestigious, top-tier, luxurious, chivalrous, peaceful, and friendly investment package—a financial package for ancient martial arts! Starting at one hundred million! How cheap is that! It's practically driving me to jump off a building! First come, first served, the more you buy, the more you get! Limited spots available, time waits for no one! Our motto is, let your money become my money!"

Lu Chengwen shouted, "Give me your money!"

Everyone shouted together: "Give me my money!"

"Give me your money!"

"Give me my money!"

"Let your money..."

Jiang Yuanzheng stopped Lu Chengwen, sweat beading on his forehead: "Hey, hey, hey, Father's about to explode, he's telling you to stop."

Lu Chengwen looked at him: "All the money in the martial arts world is pouring in. When the time comes, your Jiang family will be the main person in charge, and it will all pass through your hands. You... should I stop?"

Jiang Yuanzheng was stunned.

Jiang Shang breathed a sigh of relief; he had finally managed to stop it.

This bastard, doing this kind of thing on my turf, does he think we Jiang family members are idiots?

Jiang Yuanzheng reacted quickly!

Less than a second later, he raised his fist: "Here's your money!"

Everyone shouted together: "Give me my money!"

Jiang Shang gritted his teeth: "That bastard! I knew he couldn't be trusted!"

Lu Chengwen said, "The purpose of this event, Chengwen, is to benefit all the family members present! I'll name a number!"

Jiang Yuanzheng grabbed Lu Chengwen's arm: "Chengwen, you're going to lose money at this price!"

Lu Chengwen looked at Jiang Yuanzheng: "So what if we lose money?"

Then she exploded: "So what if I lose money—!?"

Lu Chengwen said, "Look at these lovely, kind, brave, and righteous heroes of the martial arts world. Shouldn't they make money? Today, I'm not doing this for myself, but for the future of the martial arts world, for the family income, martial arts inheritance, and sustainable development of every hero who protects this world!"

"I don't care if I lose some money, the important thing is to keep my money!"

Everyone shouted together: "Turn your money into cash!"

Lu Chengwen shouted, "Give me your money!"

Everyone roared, "Turn it into your money!"

Jiang Yuanshan leaned closer to Jiang Shang: "Have they... noticed that the slogan has changed? And all the money has gone to Lu Chengwen?"

Jiang Shang said with a dark face, "These idiots have actually been fooled by Lu Chengwen to the point of losing their minds."

Jiang Yuanzheng turned back, wiping away his tears: "Dad, how about learning about the Ancient Martial Arts Investment Bank?"

"piss off!"

……

Jiang Xiaohou has made his appearance.

She walked gracefully in, dressed in a formal gown and surrounded by eight beautiful maids.

The ceremony was presided over by an elder from the Xia family; the marriage witness was Mo Chen; and the matchmaker was an elder from the Bai family.

The Heavenly Martial Ancestor and the four Elders were all witnesses.

The elders of the Xia family were beaming. When the Jiang family handled matters, they would distribute many of these prestigious titles and honors to the other three families. This was a matter of courtesy and also a way to show the outside world that the four major families were mutually supportive and had a close relationship.

The elders of the Xia family were very happy; it was finally their turn to shine.

"The Jiang family has a daughter who has just come of age, noble and poised at the prime of her youth. The Lu family's Cheng Wen is a man of good character, a match made in heaven, a phoenix following a dragon."

"The Central Plains have always been a land of heroes, and the Jiang family has always produced heroes. Today, heaven and earth rejoice together; may I preside over the ceremony?"

Everyone burst into laughter and replied, "Okay!"

The elder laughed heartily: "Lu Chengwen, take a step forward."

Lu Chengwen took a step forward.

"Hmm. The dashing and charming Lu Chengwen has stepped into the Jiang family's door today. May the two of them be married one day, a harmonious union made in heaven!"

"Thank you, senior."

"Little Jiang, take a step forward."

Jiang Xiaohou took a step forward.

"A dignified and virtuous young lady from the Jiang family, a promising young member of the Lu family. When you go with Cheng Wen someday, never forget the kindness of the Jiang family in raising you."

Jiang Xiaohou bowed slightly and said, "Yes."

"Hmm." The senior officiant nodded in satisfaction: "Alright, in that case, on behalf of the Jiang and Lu families, I hereby announce..."

"slow!"

A man stood up: "They're engaged, what about Miss Yuan Shu?!"
