<h4>Chapter 1143: Chapter 1143: Chen Feng’s Eloquence</h4>


    "Old Zhao, don’t be in such a hurry, I’m starting now!"


    Chen Feng’s lips curled slightly, and he smiled, saying:


    "First of all, I want to address the issue of your Zhao Family’s future development."


    "As we all know, the Eight Great Families in Beijing are equally prestigious, but Beijing is only so big, and resources are limited. If you eight families share them equally, your development will be severely constrained. Haven’t you noticed that your Zhao Family’s development has been increasingly slow over the years?"


    Upon hearing this, Zhao Kunpeng froze for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully, saying, "Yes, that’s true, but what’s this got to do with cooperating with your Chen Family?"


    "It has everything to do with it; my Chen Family and your Zhao Family are inpletely different situations."


    Chen Feng smiled and continued:


    "The Chen Family has now fully be the ruler of Coastal, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the entire city is under our control, with all of its resources belonging to our Chen Family."


    "Just think about how smooth our Chen Family’s future development will be. Coastal, although not as grand as Beijing, is still a major city with a rich abundance of resources that aren’t much less than Beijing’s. Our Chen Family monopolizes it, only getting stronger."


    "While your Zhao Family remains in Beijing, only to make no progress, because the resources in Beijing are being divided among the eight great families. With only one-eighth of the resources, how far can your Zhao Family go?"


    Upon hearing this, everyone in the Zhao Family furrowed their brows.


    Even Zhao Hongtao showed a hint of concern on his face.


    Because what Chen Feng said indeed urately depicted Zhao Family’s current predicament, hitting the nail on the head.


    If the Zhao Family continues to stay in Beijing, it can only stagnate.


    If the Zhao Family wants to continue developing and expanding, then it must require more and more resources.


    Included in these resources are money, the spiritual energy necessary for cultivation, as well as various herbs and elixirs required for cultivation.


    And Beijing.


    Leaving other factors aside.


    Let’s talk about the spiritual energy that’s essential for cultivation.


    As an international metropolis.


    Beijing has very few ces with rich spiritual energy, only a handful.


    After being divided among the eight great families, it naturally bes even less.


    With only this scant spiritual energy, when can Zhao Family possibly cultivate a second Heavenly Rank Expert?


    That’s quite a distant dream.


    As for other resources, the situation is naturally the same.


    These are matters that concern and worry Zhao Hongtao, the Family Head.


    And Chen Feng has really struck a chord with him this time.


    Thus, Zhao Hongtao hastily asked, "Chen Feng, you’ve said so much, so what’s the connection between this and the cooperation between Zhao Family and Chen Family?"


    "I’ve exined it this clearly, and you still don’t see it? Of course it’s connected. Now, Coastal is under the authority of Chen Family, as long as Zhao Family cooperates with Chen Family, we can share a portion of Coastal’s resources with Zhao Family, solving the problems you face, right?"


    Chen Feng’s lips curled slightly,ughing as he spoke.


    Upon hearing this, everyone in the Zhao Family nodded.


    Because what Chen Feng said indeed made sense.


    It’s not just the Zhao Family members.


    Even Wang Han, beside Chen Feng, was tempted.


    Because Wan Family, being one of the Eight Great Families, naturally faces the problem of resource scarcity.


    So Wang Han also wished Chen Feng would share some of Coastal’s resources with Wan Family.


    However, in the end, Wan Family held back.


    Because he knew this was Chen Feng deliberately stalling for time.


    If he said something now, it would seem opportunistic, and might even disrupt Chen Feng’s n.


    That would be too unfair to Chen Feng.


    So Wang Han swallowed hard, forcibly suppressing his desire.


    "So, what about the benefits I mentioned about our cooperation? Can Zhao Family ept it?"


    Chen Feng looked at Zhao Kunpeng, his lips curling slightly, and with a smile, asked.


    "Hmph, we Zhao Family ept this benefit! But, killing you and destroying Chen Family, Zhao Family can still take Coastal’s resources!"


    Zhao Kunpeng snorted coldly and said.


    "No, without me, without Chen Family, Zhao Family wouldn’t be able to get even a bit of Coastal’s resources!"


    Chen Feng’s lips curled slightly, speaking with great confidence.


    "Why? I don’t believe it!"


    Zhao Kunpeng furrowed his brows, asking.


    Chen Feng’s lips curled slightly,ughing softly as he replied:


    "The logic is simple! Now Coastal has Chen Family overseeing it, and those resources are controlled by us, easily distributable to Zhao Family."


    "But if Chen Family isn’t overseeing Coastal, those resources would be divided by other forces in Coastal."


    "Of course, if Zhao Family is determined to get it, you can move the entire family to Coastal, overseeing it. I’m convinced that Zhao Family’s influence there would face no contest. However, while you gain Coastal’s resources, what about Beijing? Can you afford to give up your businesses and resources in Beijing?"


    Upon hearing this, Zhao Kunpeng opened his mouth, ready to rebut.


    But just then, Chen Feng continued: "Don’t tell me that Zhao Family has many experts and can divide and oversee two ces."


    "Remember, no matter how many experts, Zhao Family only has you as a Heavenly Rank Expert. You can only oversee one ce, while the other will definitely be contested by other ancient martial forces. Can you alone provide support across such distances?"


    Chen Feng’s words, one after another, were entirely reasonable.


    Even Zhao Kunpeng was left with no arguments to refute.


    "So, am I not able to act against you today?"


    Zhao Kunpeng narrowed his eyes, speaking coldly.


    "That’s why I want to discuss cooperation with you; as long as we coborate, our Chen Family can assist your Zhao Family in overseeing Coastal, and the resources there will still be shared with Zhao Family. Meanwhile, you can still keep your hold on Beijing’s resources! As the saying goes, you can’t have your cake and eat it too, but with our Chen Family, you can have both. Why not?"


    Chen Feng’s lips curled slightly, smiling as he spoke.


    "Makes sense, continue!"


    Zhao Kunpeng nodded, pondering over Chen Feng’s words.


    "I’ve finished the first point about the benefits of cooperation, now let’s talk about the second point!"


    Chen Feng smiled as he spoke.


    "Quickly, go on!"


    Zhao Kunpeng nodded, showing interest.


    Beside them, Wang Han and Ye Zheng both secretly gave Chen Feng a thumbs up.


    Unexpectedly, Chen Feng has indeed used his words to stall for time.


    And those in the Zhao Family who initially wanted to kill Chen Feng.


    Now they’re listening with great interest.


    This eloquence is truly exceptional!
