Ding Zhen, on the other hand, lacks experience and is completely incomparable to the older generation of Huizhou merchants.
Li Jin knew at that time that there would be problems after Ding Zhen took over Huizhou merchants, but he didn't expect that it would happen so quickly!
It was noon and the plane landed at Yanjing Airport.
Ding Zhen had already arrived at the airport early to wait.
After getting off the plane, the two met.
"Mr. Li, get in the car first, let's go to my house."
"Um."
Li Jin nodded slightly and followed Ding Zhen into the car.
I haven't seen him for nearly a month. Ding Zhen is still the same, but his face is a little more haggard.
"Tell me what happened."
The car started slowly and Li Jin looked at Ding Zhen.
"Hey, it's a long story."
Ding Zhen sighed and cast his gaze outside the car window.
Ding Zhen's eyes were full of melancholy and he wanted to speak, but he didn't know where to start.
At this time, a pair of broad hands fell on Ding Zhen's shoulders.
"It's okay. If you have anything to say, just say it."
"You do what grandpa told me. I have not forgotten it. If I promise to help you inherit the position of the leader of Huizhou merchants, I will definitely do it."
Li Jin patted Ding Zhen on the shoulder and said comfortingly.
"Okay, Mr. Li, I feel relieved if you say this."
Ding Zhen withdrew his gaze and thought for a while before speaking slowly.
"Mr. Li, you also know that many of our Huizhou merchants are engaged in tea and timber business."
"Those people are senior, have strong capital, and have a certain status among Huizhou merchants."
"Yesterday, those old guys came to me and told me to step down. They also said that the leaders of Huizhou merchants must take turns."
"They will come to my house this afternoon. I'm afraid I can't control myself, so I want to ask you to help."
Ding Zhen sighed from time to time, and his words were a little more anxious.
"It turns out this is what happened, just as I thought."
Li Jin also frowned.
"Mr. Li, could it be said that you already knew that this day would come?"
"Um."
Li Jin nodded.
"When your godfather Hu Taidou actually took charge of the Huizhou merchants, he used ruthless and resolute methods to suppress the entire Huizhou merchants."
"Didn't you also say that Mr. Hu is the spiritual leader of Huizhou merchants? Now that the leader is gone, Huizhou merchants will become scattered again. This is normal."
"The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. Huizhou merchants are all businessmen. What do businessmen value most?" Li Jin asked.
"It's profit."
Ding Zhen took over the conversation.
"That's right."
"Whoever can take charge of Huizhou merchants will be able to control more interests and allocate more resources."
"Although Huizhou Merchants is a non-governmental organization, in terms of size, it is definitely one of the largest groups. If anyone can have a voice within Huizhou Merchants, they can gain a lot of benefits by using some small tricks."
"So, someone must be trying to take this position away from you."
Li Jin kept analyzing, while Ding Zhen kept nodding on the side.
He understood all these principles, but he just didn't know how to deal with those old guys.
That's why Li Jin was invited here.
But who would have thought that Li Jin's next words would dispel Ding Zhen's thoughts.
"I'm here today. Actually, I'm not here to help you."
"I hope you can suppress them yourself, just like Hu Taidou did back then."
Hu Taidou's appearance flashed through Li Jin's mind again.
"But……"
Ding really has no confidence.
He didn't know how to face those old foxes from Huizhou merchants!
"But what?"
Of course Li Jin knew that Ding Zhen was under pressure, so he smiled and spoke.
"I can help you calm down, but what about the second time after I helped you the first time?"
"I also have something to do, and I will always be away from home. If those old foxes often cause trouble in the future, you can't let me handle it for you every time, right?"
"Of course, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I want to help you from another aspect..."
"Teaching a man to fish is worse than teaching him to fish." Li Jin said calmly. He didn't need to explain many words too clearly. Ding Zhen would naturally understand what he meant.
