Matsumoto Koji's Suzuda Group decided to sign a deal with the Zhou Family and the Qiao Family. The Qiao Family and Zhou Family would build a factory on Minghe's side, while Suzuda Group would be responsible for later-stage funding and technical assembly.
As soon as this news spread, it caused a stir in Minghe. Such a major project landing in Minghe but not falling into the hands of the Su Family or the Sun Family naturally led people to think that the Su Family and Qiao Family were no match for the powerful families from Beijing.
The Qiao Family and Zhou Family even hosted a grand banquet in Minghe, inviting the most influential figures in the area to attend.
However, they deliberately did not invite the Su Family and the Sun Family, clearly signaling their poor relations with those two families, essentially forcing everyone to choose sides.
