Chapter 5420

"Do you still remember my father's last words?"

Although Zhou's father died early, Cao Sui and Zhou Yong had a very good personal relationship, and the interests of the two families were closely tied. Therefore, Zhou Yong not only regarded Cao Sui as his brother-in-law.

To some extent, he regarded Cao Sui as his brother.

The two of them are relatives to begin with, and the practice of getting closer and closer to each other is the norm in a big business family.

Because this is obviously safer and more trustworthy.

The two people have a very strong relationship, naturally, and their friendship is deep most of the time. After drinking more wine, they can naturally talk about anything. From Hou Yong's mouth, Cao Sui actually heard a lot about Zhou's father before his death.

The last words Zhou's father gave before his death were obviously a secret among secrets. Cao Sui could know this, and it could indeed explain the relationship between the two of them.

"You mean, the secret passage near the famous store?"

Zhou Yong nodded.

Zhou Yong's family has been doing business with famous stores since Zhou Yong's father's generation. However, at that time, the foundation of famous stores was unstable, and they were often attacked by established demon forces.

The reason is also very simple. No major force will allow other forces to rise in front of its own eyes.

Therefore, at that time, Zhou Yong's father faced great risks when doing business with famous stores.

On a few occasions, the enemy even came directly to the vicinity of the famous store.

Although they can't conquer the mountain of Mingmen, they can use their key position at the foot of Mingmen to implement different plans.

This plan is to attack all businessmen working for famous stores.

Without the support and trade of these businessmen, famous stores would exist in name only. This move can basically be said to be a drain on the bottom of the pot.

Under such a sniper attack, many businessmen who were doing business with famous stores died under his sword, and those who were lucky enough to survive were more or less afraid to do business with famous stores again.

After all, making money is indeed important, but what is more important is your own life.

However, at that time, it was a critical period for the Zhou family to gain momentum, and they did not dare to give up these important transactions so easily.

Therefore, for the future of the Zhou family, Zhou's father could only choose to take risks at that time.

In fact, at the beginning, everything was very normal. Although it was a bit scary, it was generally safe. But as the number of times increased and the businessman's enthusiasm decreased, Zhou's father soon became a thorn in the side and a key target of the established forces.

On this basis, Father Zhou is facing more and more dangers.

Father Zhou also knew very well that if you often walk by the river, your shoes will never get wet. Therefore, in order to make things smoother in the future, Father Zhou found a group of craftsmen to build a special road.

This road is almost a very hidden road leading from the outside to the famous store.

It is basically constructed of tunnels, but there is something else going on inside the tunnels.

In addition to basic ventilation, there is also a large amount of supplies inside. Of course, the most important thing is the defense inside.

All the wall materials inside are made of a special material. When people walk inside, this material will not only block all sounds, but more importantly, it can block the breath.

This was also specially made by Zhou's father who spent a lot of money back then.

It is no exaggeration to say that this tunnel cost Father Zhou almost all his savings in the first half of his life. But Father Zhou actually knew very well that this money had to be spent.

Because he understands that if he doesn't do this, it will be very difficult to do business in the future.

If you want to be rich, you must first build roads! There is no other choice.

Facts also proved that Zhou's father's idea was right. Although he seemed to be desperate, he actually became one of the businessmen who had the most contact with famous stores because of this secret passage.

Naturally, under this situation, the Zhou family gradually gained huge wealth. During this process, the Zhou family grew rapidly and eventually became one of the top families.

Later, the famous store grew, and the Zhou family also had a different foundation. Everyone's environment is completely different from each other, and this secret path is gradually lost in history.

When Zhou's father told Zhou Yong about him, he actually had an extra thought.

Because even the famous store itself doesn’t know about this secret passage.

Father Zhou's idea was that if a store were to unload its grinding mill and kill the donkey one day, his son would have a place to escape. Who would have thought that it would now be used for another purpose...
