Chapter 399 Vampires and Blood Hunters
Chapter 399 Vampires and Blood Hunters
Li Hua and Li Qing called soon to say that they had found a store. Zhang Xintong didn't expect the brother and sister to be so quick. She was very satisfied after seeing it. It was a bit old, but big enough. It was not a store owned by a big family, but by ordinary people. The location was not good and it was relatively old. If rented, it would cost 10 yuan a year, and if bought, it would cost 200 million yuan.
In order to avoid future troubles, Zhang Xintong bought it directly.
The store has three floors, each floor is 150 square meters, and there is also a 200 square meter warehouse in the backyard. The price is very cheap, and Zhang Xintong feels it is very suitable.
The first floor was used for the grain and oil business, the second floor was the headquarters of the Poor People's Alliance, and the third floor was the office for Zhang Xintong and her confidants. Her Poor People's Alliance was established from this small place, and she believed that it would grow bigger and bigger.
Zhang Xintong met Li Hua and Li Qing's second uncle Li Rui, who looked gentle and refined, but had a lame leg.
Zhang Xintong chatted with Li Rui and found him to be extremely knowledgeable. He was respectful but not fawning. He was poorly dressed and very thin, probably because he hadn't had enough to eat for years. Zhang Xintong was very satisfied with Li Rui and negotiated a salary with him, planning to hire him as a trial employee.
The store is not decorated. It is located in a slum area. If it were decorated too well, the poor people would probably not dare to go in, so it was just simply cleaned up.
That night, Zhang Xintong filled the warehouse with rice, flour and oil, and also filled the shelves on the first floor of the grain and oil store with rice, flour and oil.
The next day, Zhang Xintong and Li Rui counted the goods and the grain and oil store opened for business. The store hired four more young men, who were acquaintances of Li Rui, to be responsible for carrying the goods.
The rice, flour and oil in the store are one-fifth cheaper than outside, and this one-fifth can help more poor people survive.
Zhang Xintong created the rules and regulations for the Poor People's Alliance, clearly stating the responsibilities that the poor need to bear and the protection they can get when joining the Poor People's Alliance.
At the beginning, Li Hua and Li Qing's work was not smooth. These people did not believe in the existence of such an organization until Zhang Xintong rescued the daughter of a poor couple.
Their daughter was so beautiful that she was spotted by a small steward of the Duanmu family, who took her away and imprisoned her. Although he was just a small steward, with the support of the Duanmu family, they had no way to rescue their daughter.
Zhang Xintong learned the cause of the incident and created a dream for the young steward for several days, making him suffer torture and die in the dream. She also told him that if he did not release the girl he had captured, she would torture him every day. The young steward was frightened and quickly released the girl.
The Poor Alliance is too small and fragile. Zhang Xintong cannot confront these big families right away. That would be tantamount to seeking death. What she wants is to strengthen the Poor Alliance little by little. Once they are strong enough, they will not be afraid of the families including the four top wealthy families.
A few months passed in a flash, and the Poor Alliance developed rapidly. The more problems Zhang Xintong solved, the more convinced the poor people became about the Poor Alliance, and they all actively joined.
Zhang Xintong selected 40 people from the group to teach shooting and fighting skills, and these 40 people then taught the remaining poor. Furthermore, she used the profits to open various shops, selling high-quality and affordable goods, improving the lives of the poor. With more shops, there were more jobs, and the most vulnerable poor were cared for and given jobs.
The Poor People's Alliance was developing steadily, but the four major families had no time to suppress it. Firstly, they did not think highly of such a small organization as the Poor People's Alliance, and secondly, the four major families were on the verge of a fight.
The Yan family found out that what happened to Yan Mubai in his childhood was done by the Ximen and Duanmu families, and the incident with Hua Ze not long ago was also done by the two families.
The Ximen and Duanmu families turned the heirs of the Yan and Hua families into vampires, and announced it to the public at the right time, causing internal fighting between the two families. The Ximen and Duanmu families reaped the benefits and annexed the Yan and Hua families.
The Ximen family and the Duanmu family are not in such a good situation either. If they succeed, they may also want to swallow up the other family and become the only dominant family. But now that they have been discovered by the Yan family and the Hua family, the Ximen family and the Duanmu family can only work together to compete with the Yan family and the Hua family.
The four major families are all very strong, and this fight will not produce a result in a short time, which gives the Poor Alliance an opportunity to develop.
The Blood Hunting Noble School and the Blood Hunting Alliance fell apart due to the struggle between the four major families. Before the Blood Hunting Alliance disbanded, Zhang Xintong exchanged all her money for ultraviolet bullets, matching guns, and anti-Qing forces.
Since the disbanding of the Blood Hunter Alliance, vampires have become rampant. It must be said that when the Blood Hunter Alliance existed, vampires were more restrained.
Zhang Xintong established a blood hunting department in the Poor People's Alliance, which is specifically responsible for hunting down evil vampires.
The fight between the four major families lasted for several years. Yan Mubai and Zhang Xintong rarely met each other as they were both busy with their own careers.
When Zhang Xintong was 25 years old, the four major families finally decided the winner. The Yan family and the Hua family won, while the Ximen family and the Duanmu family lost and withdrew from the list of the four major families.
Although the Yan family and the Hua family won, they paid a considerable price. Although they gained more rights, it will take them several years to recover.
By the time the Yan and Hua families noticed the Poor Alliance, it had already grown into a force capable of competing with them.
Zhang Xintong had been hiding in the background before, but she stepped out into the public eye at the age of 25. When the heads of the Hua and Yan families learned that the Poor People's Alliance was led by Zhang Xintong, they were all shocked.
The head of the Hua family was naturally surprised because of Sun Ying. The daughter that his wife came with as a dowry actually became someone on equal footing with him. How could he not be surprised!
The head of the Yan family was angry because of his son Yan Mubai. Yan Mubai proposed to marry Zhang Xintong, but the head of the Yan family refused. His son had been angry with him because of this matter, and he did not give in. He did not expect that such a person would now be on equal footing with him!
The Yan family and the Hua family intended to suppress the Poor People's Alliance, but when they actually did it, they found that the Poor People's Alliance was no longer something they could control. If they really fought to the death, their two major families might also disappear.
The Poor People's Alliance can only make friends, not enemies. The lower classes have already gained autonomy, and if problems arise, the Poor People's Alliance will step in to resolve them. The Poor People's Alliance has its own laws and courts, and has built a prison, with a very comprehensive system.
In recent years, due to the rampant vampires, humans have suffered a lot. After dealing with the Ximen and Duanmu families, the Hua and Yan families want to reopen the Blood Hunter Noble School and the Blood Hunter Alliance.
The Poor People's Alliance has an outstanding status. After the heads of the Hua family and the Yan family discussed it, they invited Zhang Xintong to discuss how to deal with vampires.
The place where the three of them met was the former Blood Hunter Noble School, and Yan Mubai and Hua Ze also came with them.
In the principal's office, the head of the Hua family, the head of the Yan family, and Zhang Xintong were sitting, while Hua Ze and Yan Mubai were standing behind their father.
"Miss Zhang, vampires are rampant, and this is a common problem for all humans. The Hua and Yan families want to reopen the Blood Hunting Noble School and the Blood Hunting Alliance, and would like to invite the Poor Alliance to join. What are your opinions?"
