570 landlord

In the evening, Zhu Wencong alone attended an upper-class gathering in Richmond, where the attendees were all former Southern landlords, now reduced to penniless state.

Though a camel starves, it remains bigger than a horse; despite their decline, they still had the surplus from their landlord days, enough to hold this gathering.

Besides these wealthy merchants, there were also bankers from the West, who had hurried over upon hearing that Zhu Wencong was coming to Richmond.

"Mr. Z!" Zhu Wencong's entrance attracted the attention of everyone in the room, and they all started calling out to him.

Abert Kad led Zhu Wencong into the venue, where he was now seen by everyone as the God of Wealth, relying on him to create wealth.

Zhu Wencong also knew that if he wanted to develop in the South, he could not do without the help and support of these local influentials.
