The Heroes of Gulong: Great Chefs from Past to Present

Chapter 545: Seeking Perfection
Guangzhou Prefecture, Wanghai Tower.

Li Chaofeng stood on the fourth floor, looking at the representatives of the aristocratic families who were leaving in groups, with a gleam in his eyes.

He looked at Long San and Sha Yingdong behind him and praised in a gentle voice.

"I was away these few days, thank you for your hard work."

When Long San heard Li Chaofeng's praise, he quickly bowed and tried to refuse.

"It is my responsibility. If the Dragon King had not been here, I would have been powerless to do it. I dare not take credit for it."

Holding two pure white metal walnuts on a plate, the wealthy Sha Yingdong did not say much in the way of courtesy, but just laughed and said.

"Yan Nantian has left Anqing?"

Hearing the name Yan Nantian.
Li Chaofeng sighed in his heart, looked at Sha Yingdong again, and shook his head slightly.

Seeing Li Chaofeng shaking his head, the walnut in Sha Yingdong's hand deformed slightly. He lowered his head to look down at the Wanghai Tower and said with a sneer on his face.

"Old things are all Pluto's fault, just like them."

"It's a good thing that everyone can just sit down and make money together, but they have to make it so complicated."

When Li Chaofeng heard this, his eyes suddenly fixed and he quickly reprimanded.

"Sha Yingdong, you talk too much."

Sha Yingdong didn't care about the coldness on Li Chaofeng's face and just grinned.

"The Dragon King is too soft-hearted, so he encountered such a situation where kind people were bullied."

Then, while rolling up the walnuts, Sha Yingdong said with a face full of resentment.

"I just don't understand why the Shenlong Gang disagrees with using the Canglong to escort them at sea and let them do business at sea."

"We have been hesitating for so many days and still have to wait for the Dragon King to give his approval before we are willing to go out to sea."

"Don't they really want to make money from the spices in the sea?"

After hearing this, Long San lowered his head, and Li Chaofeng did not explain much.

Li Chaofeng always speaks harshly, but his attitude towards doing things is always realistic.

Make more friends and fewer enemies.

Li Chaofeng never forgot this simple truth.

As a noble family that occupies half of the city, they must be Li Chaofeng's mortal enemy.

But those centuries-old families, even those whose lands are only a few hundred acres, are the targets that Li Chaofeng wants to win over.

But Li Chaofeng wanted the people to stop being slaves, but the ideal of the aristocratic families was to have everything they wanted.
Although the century-old family lacks foundation and is afraid of the power of Li Chaofeng's magic sword, they have received various educations from aristocratic families and have the concept of hierarchy in their bones.

The conflict still exists, but it has been suppressed by force.

It is almost impossible to get them to give up their ideas.

Therefore, we can only retreat and seek for it.

People should not be slaves or maids.

But the barbarians can.

The Soryu is the only steel battleship, dominating the seven seas. In recent years, it has been the uncrowned king of the ocean.

Although the world's ocean trade is not well developed, the resources of small coastal countries have been almost explored.

As long as there are people, the Shenlong Gang can occupy the surrounding small countries and carry out colonial rule.

Li Chaofeng gave this piece of fat meat to the southern families just to soften their minds.

There are no aristocratic families in the Central Plains, but there are on the sea.
Li Chaofeng couldn't see what they wanted to do, so he naturally couldn't control it.

There have been many controversies during this month. Li Chaofeng has thrown out bait, but the aristocratic families want to take it but dare not.

The core of the contradiction is just one sentence
The Shenlong Gang used force to suppress the Central Plains today, cutting off their century-old heritage.

Will the Soryu be used to suppress Nanami tomorrow, thus wasting their ten years of hard work?

Although the Central Plains is vast, there are not many noble families that can occupy half of the city.

But there are countless century-old families.

Li Chaofeng can suppress it for a while, but he cannot suppress it forever.

It is better to block than to open up.

The aristocratic concept has been passed down for thousands of years, and just a few words from Li Chaofeng are not enough to alleviate the doubts in their hearts.

Finally, Li Chaofeng made a promise that the Shenlong Gang would not get involved in the ocean.
Do not shelter overseas foreigners.

There are no slaves in the Central Plains and the Han people are not humble.

Overseas foreigners have no human rights.

This is a commitment, but also a concession.

The noble family was satisfied, at least on the surface. Sha Yingdong was dissatisfied because he had long been eyeing the fat meat on the sea.

The Salt Gang only manages salt, but salt is a strictly controlled item.

Not to mention making money, Li Chaofeng even put money into it every day just so that the people could eat cheap salt.

The Cao Gang can make money from the transportation industry, but whoever wants to earn this hard-earned money can do so.

Faced with various emerging industries, several major families of the Shenlong Gang were able to break their heads in front of Li Chaofeng.

But when it comes to the Cao Gang's business, they don't even want to get involved.

For the big families, the Cao Gang, which cannot engage in side businesses, is a pure loss-making business.

That is to say, Sha Yingdong has many brothers and they all came from the underworld and were originally independent people, so they were willing to take over.

But he also wanted to make money. The Salt Gang and the Cao Gang couldn't make any money, and Li Chaofeng was losing money. How dare Sha Yingdong dare to use dirty tricks to make money?

But the spice business is not related to people's livelihood, so Li Chaofeng does not manage it strictly.

At the same time, the spice business was very popular in the Central Plains.

He wanted to eat this big piece of fat meat, but he couldn't.

It was given to a noble family, but they looked disgusted.

If Li Chaofeng hadn't stopped them with his eyes, Sha Yingdong would have been able to make this group of people understand directly how bold those who dared to engage in private salt trade were.

Sha Yingdong's dissatisfaction was written all over his face, but Li Chaofeng knew that he was just showing off his recklessness and stupidity.

Li Chaofeng doesn't have the ability to read minds, but Sha Yingdong is not acting all the time.

Li Chaofeng, who has extraordinary five senses, has a clear understanding of the people around him.

Sha Yingdong has nothing to do with Li Chaofeng, but he controls the two core industries of salt and transportation.

As soon as these words were spoken, hundreds of thousands of Cao Gang disciples obeyed.

Sha Yingdong needs to demonstrate his loyalty.

Li Chaofeng doesn't believe in loyalty, so just show that you are obedient enough.

He chose to be Li Kui and always speak his mind directly in front of Li Chaofeng.

Without revealing the truth, Li Chaofeng simply gave the order in a cold voice.

"Okay, since most families have agreed to go out to sea, notify Tyrannosaurus Rex and prepare for escort."

Sha Yingdong nodded with a face full of resentment, and Long San also stood up and saluted, then quickly led his men away from Wanghai Tower.

Li Chaofeng stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the sea in the distance, his eyes full of loneliness.

He wanted to change the world order, but he had to succumb to reality.

No matter how great the benefits Li Chaofeng provides, in the hearts of the people, inheritance is more important than progress.

Occupy overseas lands and leave behind the family tradition.

Only with the spark will they be willing to change.

Li Chaofeng was retreating, and they were retreating too.

As a person in white clothes appeared behind him, Li Chaofeng did not turn his head, but just spoke softly.

"Did you persuade these people to go to sea?"

Bai Yujing came to Li Chaofeng with a smile on his face. Yao looked at the vast ocean in the distance and explained with a smile.

"The Azure Dragon Society has disbanded. Without the backing of their supporters, they naturally dare not touch the Dragon King's beard."

Li Chaofeng looked at Bai Yujing with some surprise, and then smiled wistfully.

The Qinglong Society has 365 branches, and on July 15th alone, they dared to deal with Baili Changqing, who was able to organize an alliance of escort agencies.

It has been passed down for hundreds of years, and its power is complex and its organization is extremely tight.

But when Gongzi Yu rose to power, the Qinglong Society had already become a legend in the martial arts world.

In just twenty years, it has become a legend.
The name representing the Qinglong Society has disappeared for a long time.

External forces cannot destroy the Qinglong Society, but there is one person who can disband the Qinglong Society with just one word.

The boss of Qinglong is Bai Yujing.

Bai Yujing didn't want to do it anymore, so the Qinglong Society was gone.

The Qinglong Society has existed in the martial arts world for hundreds of years, and with mutual support, countless century-old families have naturally been born.

Now that the Qinglong Society has been disbanded, they are also a piece of fat meat.

If they are not swallowed up by the thousand-year-old family, they will be wiped out by the Shenlong Gang.

In that case, why not join the Shenlong Gang and work for Li Chaofeng.
