On Cao Ze’s side, he also took off his mask and got into a Bentley that had been waiting outside.

Lao Lang was driving the car.

After getting in the car, Cao Ze picked up his phone and Keqing’s message had been sent to him.

“Master, Keqing has found some information, but the four major forces are very cautious. A lot of information does not exist on the Internet. If you want more detailed information, Keqing needs to find someone to infiltrate in reality.”

Cao Ze raised his eyebrows?

Are these four major forces so powerful? And they are so cautious that they don’t store important information online.

Cao Ze then replied to Keqing, “Okay, go ahead and check. If you need to bribe someone, feel free to use the funds.”

“Okay, master.” Keqing replied with a message.

Cao Ze opened the information sent by Keqing and took a look. The four major forces refer to the four major forces in Su Province: Lin, Xie, Fang, and Wang.

However, there is very little information about them on the Internet. The information Keqing can find is all about the information of many large companies they control, and they also have many agents attached to them. Their network of contacts is very strong.

And…

Could there be a martial artist?

Cao Ze frowned, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Lin Bingxia, Lin Youhan.

Xie Qingqing…

These three people who have been confirmed to be the heroines should be the Lin family and the Xie family from the four major families.

Are there still martial artists?

This is the first time Cao Ze has heard of this ranking. It should be something in the new plot. I wonder how effective it is in combat.

It seems that it is urgent to find out the details of the four major forces as soon as possible.

Although there will be new plot introductions after the system upgrade, knowing it earlier will allow you to make arrangements earlier and gain the upper hand.

Moreover, now that the plot has been integrated, the plot given by the system may deviate from reality.

Cao Ze needs to do his own investigation and compare it with the plot given by the system to ensure that there are no mistakes.

When I returned home in the evening, Qin Ningxin and Lin Youhan were already asleep.

Cao Ze did not disturb them and went straight back to his bedroom to rest.

Then……

Around two or three in the morning, Lin Youhan sleepwalked in again, buried her head in Cao Ze’s chest, and kept murmuring the word “Dad”.

Cao Ze didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that Lin Youhan was a little envious when she saw Qin Ningxin calling her godfather all day long.

…

Early the next morning.

There are less than four days left until the system upgrade.

Cao Ze sent the two girls to Shuiyun Clothing Company. Qin Ningxin hadn’t seen Cao Ze for a day or two and felt reluctant to leave.

But Cao Ze is also very busy today. He has to go to the short video company in the morning to see the anchor recruited by Lisa.

On the way to the short video company, Cao Ze’s phone rang and he picked up the phone.

“Lao Qian?”

Lao Qian, Qian Wenzhong, is the president of the most famous investment group in Jiangnan City. The two are old acquaintances. He called at this time, probably because he has studied his short video operating company thoroughly in the past few days.

Cao Ze answered the call: “Old Qian, long time no see.”

“Oh, Lao Cao, it’s been a long time since we last met.” Lao Qian’s smiling voice came from the other end of the phone.

“I wonder what’s the matter that Mr. Qian called me about?” Cao Ze also laughed.

“I heard that you, Lao Cao, started a short video company, so I wanted to see if I can help. I wonder when you are free, so we can meet and talk.” Lao Qian said with a smile.

“I’m on my way to the short video company now.” said Cao Ze.

“That’s perfect. I have time now too. Lao Cao, please wait for me there. I’ll be there soon.” Lao Qian said.

“Okay.” Cao Ze hung up the phone.

…

After Cao Ze arrived at the short video company, Lao Qian arrived soon after, Lisa led the two into the reception room of the short video company, made two cups of tea and placed them on the table, then bowed and walked out.

Lao Qian looks like a typical company leader, a little fat, with a beer belly, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and his hair is combed neatly with hair oil.

When Lao Qian first saw Cao Ze, he was surprised and asked, “Wow, Lao Cao, how come you look so much younger after not seeing you for a few days? What health supplements did you take?”

“Eat well and sleep well, and you will naturally become younger. By then, you, Old Qian, will be fat again.” Cao Ze glanced at Old Qian’s belly.

“Haha, I have so many social events that I lost interest while eating.” Lao Qian smiled and moved closer to Cao Ze, “Lao Cao, your short video company is just starting out, do you need any funding?”

Cao Ze picked up the teacup and took a sip. “Do you think I look like someone who is short of money?”

“Hey, you don’t lack funds, but you also need connections, right? Including your Cao Group, I recently got in touch with the Fang family in the provincial capital.” Lao Qian lowered his voice for the last sentence.

“No matter how powerful the Cao Group is, it is still lacking compared to the big forces in the provincial capital. Old Cao, don’t you want to go further?”

Hearing this, Cao Ze was stunned.

The two were just chatting casually, but they didn’t expect to hear the names of the four major forces again.

Is the plot complete now?

“Fang family? What’s their background?” Cao Ze asked pretending to be confused.

Old Qian looked around, lowered his volume and said, “The Fang family is one of the four major forces in the provincial capital. They are extremely mysterious. I also met them through a big boss. I just learned about the existence of this force. I contacted them privately once, and this time it was incredible. I found that they are really powerful. Pure businessmen like us are like ants in their eyes.”

As he spoke, Lao Qian raised his right hand, pinched his thumb and index finger together, and gestured like an ant.

“…”

The corner of Cao Ze’s mouth twitched.

Damn, you are exaggerating too much.

Lao Qian is the president of an investment group with a net worth of tens of billions and extensive network of contacts. But he was frightened like this after just having contact with the Fang family, one of the four major forces, and compared himself to an ant?

Cao Ze laughed and said, “You compare yourself to an ant, but I am not. Don’t associate everything with the word ‘we’.”

Lao Qian spread his hands helplessly and said, “Lao Cao, my previous thoughts were the same as yours. I was thinking about the four major forces. I have been developing in Jiangnan City for so long and I am considered one of the top people in Jiangnan City. I thought they just had a name, and they just had more people and wider connections, but…”

“It was only after I met them that I realized that this was not the case.”

“Lao Cao, do you know who I met?”

Old Qian paused and looked at Cao Ze with a mysterious expression,

“Can you please stop keeping us in suspense and just say what you want to say?” Cao Ze said unhappily.

Old Qian glanced at Cao Ze, seemingly looking down on his ignorance, “He is the fourth head of the Fang family. He is also a well-known figure in the capital.”

“Lao Cao, I’m not trying to scare you. We really can’t compare with others. Do you know what kind of business they are in?”

“What business?” Cao Ze asked.

“Arms business!”

Cao Ze was indeed shocked this time.

The arms business is really not something that ordinary people can get involved in. The Fang family seems to be very powerful. In comparison, businessmen like me are really not worthy of their attention.

Old Qian explained: “Of course it’s not arms in the conventional sense. I guess no one in our country can do that kind of business. He deals in stockpiled arms, commonly known as ‘graveyard weapons’, which are eliminated by our country’s upgrades or have been stored for too long and are no longer usable.”

“The fourth head of the Fang family sells these weapons through channels to some extremely backward countries. They are lucky to have weapons.”

Cao Ze suddenly realized.

The cost of dismantling weapons is too high, and it is better to sell them than to recycle them into steel.

Of course, some of the better weapons are sealed up, and someone performs regular maintenance on them, so they will definitely not break down.

However, it is not very cost-effective to maintain the ordinary weapons and bullets that have been eliminated.

But even so, the fact that the Fang family was able to obtain such obsolete weapons already shows that they are very well connected.

Cao Ze frowned and asked, “Old Qian, do you have a good relationship with the Fang family?”

“It’s not that great. I just got to know the Fang family.” Old Qian said with a wry smile.

“You know all this just after one meeting?” Cao Ze asked.

“This is what the introducer told me privately.” said Lao Qian.

“The introducer told you this? Did you meet a scammer?” Cao Ze said.

“Get lost! Do you think I’m a fool? Am I so easy to fool? Can’t I investigate it myself?” Lao Qian said with a displeased smile.

“Haha, who knows.” Cao Ze laughed and picked up the teacup and took a sip.

“Damn it! Lao Cao, I tell you this only because I treat you as my brother. Next time I have a chance, I will take you to meet the Fourth Boss. Then you will understand everything.” Lao Qian cursed.

“Okay, let’s talk about it when there’s a chance.”

Cao Ze said calmly, what fourth in command, what era is it now, still playing the Republic of China tricks, the fourth grandson is almost the same.

But now Cao Ze is basically certain that this Old Qian has been integrated into the new plot.

Perhaps the characters who survived in this plot will be integrated into the new drama.

However, the characters that have been captured by Cao Ze will not be integrated.

It is obvious that Tang Xiner has no new plot anymore and has completely become Cao Ze’s private property.

But people like Xie Qingqing and even Liu Ruoxi may enter the new plot.

Of course, these are all Cao Ze’s current speculations. After all, Liu Ruoxi has been won over by Cao Ze and can immediately become his apprentice and become Cao Ze’s private disciple.

Although the time for integration has not yet arrived, Cao Ze has already seen many clues. The whole world is undergoing some subtle changes.

Short video companies have started to operate like a dormant tiger.

These days, Cao Ze has been comparing the time difference between this world and his original world, gathering a large amount of funds and preparing for a wave of investments.

First set a small goal and become the richest man in the country!

Of course, now that the four major forces have emerged, it is estimated that the richest man is only the richest man in appearance.

Are pure businessmen all ants?

Then I would like to see for myself whether these four major forces of yours are real dragons.

Now three of the four major forces have appeared, Lin Bingxia’s Lin family, Xie Qingqing’s Xie family, and Fang Fourth’s Fang family!

Now we only need the Wang family to complete the four major families.

After Lao Qian left, Cao Ze followed Lisa and made some money in the short video company.

“Boss, these are the first batch of anchors we recruited. They are also our first batch of video creators after the short video app was launched. In the lobby on the first floor.” Lisa clapped her hands, and rows of long-legged young ladies filed out, with a variety of styles, which was dazzling.

“Good, good, good!” Cao Ze’s face turned pale as he was reflected by the white thighs in front of him. He was extremely happy, “Lisa, you did a good job.”

“Lisa is just following the boss’s instructions.” Lisa bowed modestly, then took out her tablet and said, “Boss, the short video app is now undergoing data testing in all aspects. I have to say that the top technical engineer recommended by the boss is really amazing. The short video app she made has reached perfection in terms of fluency, stability, and user convenience. Our technical team has tested it from all aspects and found no flaws.”
