"How do you know that I have strength? I didn't realize that I have any strength." Zhao Mingyang said with his eyes closed.
"Uncle Mingyang, you are so humble. It is very simple to prove your strength. When you can dine at the main table, you have actually proven your strength.
It took me half my life to play this Zhuo a few years ago. This main table is based on overall strength. I am still my father, who paved the way for me. But you are different. From your family background, basically
It can be concluded that you have no family background. At most, your parents are somewhat educated.
My grandfather started doing business on the border of the Golden Triangle a hundred years ago. At that time, he was in the condiment business. At that time, my grandfather was relatively powerful. According to current estimates, he could be considered to have a local net worth of over 100 million.
Later, my dad took over my grandfather's business and moved to the food business there, upgrading some industries based on the original ones. Of course, doing business there mainly depends on your methods, and people don't dare to worry about your stuff.
My father was not a good person in the past. He took more than 200 young adults from our village to do business there. We experienced a lot when we got there, but at least he established himself there, and our family has been doing business there ever since.
Food business.
Is food the most important thing for people? No matter where you are, no matter how good you are, you have to eat as a human being. But my dad knows very well that the education, medical care, and personal development environment there are not good.
So I was sent to study abroad since I was a child.
I went to elementary school and middle school in the United States, and I went to high school and university in China. At that time, catching up with China’s economic boom, my dad also came back to do business, and he always took me with him to study.
During the summer vacation, I would go to the Golden Triangle, which made me feel deeply.
My dad can be praised everywhere he goes, but in China, my dad always bends down to pour wine for others.
This is why the contrast is so big for me. I didn’t understand it before, but now I really understand it. You said that a local bully in a township has a group of horse boys under his command and has a little money. Isn’t he very powerful in the township?
But if you really feel that you are a local emperor, isn't that the end? It's not that no one can cure you, it's that the people who can cure you don't like to go there at all.
But if someone drives by, and your careless driver scratches their car, or offends them with your arrogant words, or even beats them regardless of the consequences, they will be able to uproot you and punish the Nine Tribes when they get back.
Bullies can be easily dealt with through legal punishment and maintenance of peace and stability.
The magnitude of strength is not at the same level, just like Shencheng will never regard a fourth- and fifth-tier city as a competitor.
My dad took me to study with him, which made me understand and realize the disparity in strength. I actually lived a life of fear every day in the Golden Triangle. How many people wanted to take my life and become a leader.
There is not a mature market economy there, and there are no laws and regulations. The one who is ruthless enough and has many things and money is the local emperor.
That’s why it’s chaotic over there. To be honest, too many people take dangerous risks just for three melons and two dates. I really don’t know what they think. Of course, there are some who are not stupid and just want my life.
What kind of business am I doing there? It’s a monopoly on supplies. I basically do all the basic necessities of life, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Especially on food, I basically have a monopoly. If people there want good food, they have to buy it from me. I’ve decided on the pricing.
Calculate.
I spend most of my time in China. In fact, I have been really scared in the past few years. I am afraid that I will die one day.
I was also looking for a breakthrough, but I found that I was trapped and in a dead end. I wanted to give my children a different life, but I was also afraid that one of my children would be ignorant and think that there was only one third of an acre of land.
He became the king and hegemony.
I had to find a backer and support for them and create some industry for them, so my dad brought me to Zhaocheng at that time. But, over the years, I found that among this group of people, the new grassroots ones were very important.
They are strong, but they don’t have a big picture. They are descendants of the older generation of famous families, and they all have a mysterious sense of superiority.
But their personal abilities are really average. Some of them are second-generation ancestors who really can’t do anything except eating, drinking and having fun.
Of course, there are also some very powerful queens from famous families, but these people are too deep-minded and it is difficult to chat with them about important information. Basically, we just click here and there is no need for them to get too close to me.
The world has been changing rapidly in recent years, and I know that a big change may be coming. I have a premonition and have heard some people talking about it.
My current situation is that I have money, very rich, but my money is there and cannot be moved. It is too fixed. I only earn so much every day, and I am still worried every day. The plate is too small.
I see that Uncle Mingyang, you have connections all over the world, and you are a knowledgeable person. In addition, I found out that my aunt is Wan Heng’s daughter. Uncle Mingyang, can you take me to follow you and have a sip of soup?
Don’t worry, I have money.”
When Zhao Mingyang heard this, he probably understood what this guy wanted to do. He was rich. It could be said that he had a lot of money now, but the problem was that he couldn't move his money.
The reason is very simple. He is in an area where no one cares about him. In fact, he is in an area where all three families care about him.
If it is a material monopoly business, but there is no unified currency in that area, and there are currencies in several regions, he cannot set specific prices and settlements, and can only price goods based on the currency values of various places.
Later, he asked for all transactions to be done with U.S. knives, but most people can't carry U.S. knives with them, and even if they gave him U.S. knives, most of his money would have to be spent on his senior security guard, who would give it to the next door owner.
There are some maintenance fees for the three places in Thailand, Vietnam and Laos. After all, he is the biggest source of income there, and the food is monopolized by him.
He took the remaining money to China for investment. Most people did not dare to cooperate with him, and it was useless even if he said the money was clean.
Go abroad to invest. He is afraid that he will be cheated. The money deposited in the bank will have no value. If he has an accident, his family will also have an accident, and the money will be given to others in vain.
He now wants to find someone to help him dispose of his money and get a guarantee, but the fundamental reason why he doesn't want to cooperate with those famous families in the Zhao family is that the other party has no scruples about him. He can't make the decision and has no say.
Quan, he was also afraid that the money would be wasted in the end.
Nowadays, people who are reliable don't want to cooperate with him, and people who are unreliable don't dare to cooperate with him.
What he said was right. The money made by those people in the Golden Triangle was high risk and low profit. He would not touch those people because he was not thinking about that one-third of an acre at all, so he tried his best to package himself as a relatively clean person.
background.
But the business he does there is the most profitable. People have to eat, and everyone’s mouths are monopolized by him. He sells a bottle of Coke for one dollar, so it’s only one dollar, and two dollars is two dollars.
Fine knives, cigarettes, alcoholic beverages, etc. are all priced at his own discretion.
This is why he spends half of his income to strengthen his own security, why he can say everything there, and why he is afraid, because there are many people there who want to take his place, and because he is fed up with him
of strength and monopoly.
Zhao Hongtu knows better than anyone else that now the entire Golden Triangle is working for him. The more they earn, the higher the price of ingredients will be. He doesn't do those things, but everyone has become his worker.
He actually wants to withdraw. He knows very well that it may be too dangerous for his descendants there, because he has a very clear positioning of himself, just like a township bully.
That one-third of an acre of land is okay, because not many people go there, but one thing is a bit tricky. He doesn't cause trouble, but people over there love to cause trouble. If they cause trouble, they will go directly to him, Zhao Hongtu.
It's troublesome, so this is what gives him a headache.
According to Zhao Mingyang's analysis, there is only one reason why he can sit in this position. He spent a lot of money in the early stage and divided it with the loser at the table, spending money to buy a seat.
But he knows that this is not possible. In this way, he will always have to bend down to serve tea and water to others, and his children will have to be like this, just like when his father brought him here. There is no way to change it.
"You'd better hire someone else, I don't have that ability." Zhao Mingyang said as he lay there soaking in the bath with his eyes closed to rest.
"No! Uncle Mingyang, you have that ability. If I didn't ask, I wouldn't know what your relationship is with the Xu family. Only very important people know about it. You don't use the name of the Xu family when you come here.
It's basically useless.
I can't find any other information, but I know the person who recommended you to come here to worship your ancestors. He is not an ordinary person. There are also the connections and resources you showed at the wine table. I am sure that these are all
Your own.
Especially when you call to make arrangements to help other people, and the tone you use to instruct the person on the other end of the phone to handle related matters is that of a superior or a subordinate, and the other party is obedient, then your background is definitely not what it seems.
But your own background is not from a famous family, otherwise you can't hide it, unless you are an illegitimate child who has been hidden for many years. Even if you are an illegitimate child, as long as you use the slightest connection in the family, some clues will be revealed.
The person I asked is considered a know-it-all here. He knows very little about you, so you have only one possibility. Your things are your own. You can choose to hide them. You are the player behind the scenes.
What I can understand is that the Xu family is the icing on the cake for you, even more powerful than a tiger, provided that you are very capable.
Uncle Mingyang is considered the most powerful person of his generation among the people I know. I will not ask you how you can sit at this table with your own strength. Some people are born to make up the numbers, and some are born to change the world.
The gap between people can be an unbridgeable chasm.
I know that no matter in terms of overall outlook, ability, talent, or even means, I can't compare to you. Your own efforts are already sitting there. On that table, in the past twenty years, you may be the only one who has made everything from scratch.
Sitting there.
There is no doubt about your ability.
That's why I came to you. I'm not the kind of person who doesn't understand current affairs. I also know that you must have guessed what I want to express.
Uncle Mingyang, I just want to find a reliable partner. Don’t worry, I won’t cause you any trouble. I just want to find a stable industry for my child.
To put it bluntly, I know that place very well. There are too many crazy people there, and you don’t need to use your brain to do things. My children have been living and growing up in China, and I don’t even want to take them there. I can’t guarantee that my children will not get lost in that country.
Among the rights of three-thirds of the land.
I would rather let my children know how big the world is, how many great people there are, and how little development there really is. If my children take over and feel they are the best, they will not be far away from death.
This is what I fear the most. Let me tell you the truth. After I left that place, I couldn’t do many things. Why did my dad bring me to Zhao City to join the Zhao Clan Ancestral Hall? It was because he wanted to take advantage of the people here.
Some people helped solve some problems there.
At that time, there was a lunatic there who was the kid from the previous leader. He felt that he was very awesome and lawless. As a result, a joint law enforcement team killed him directly.
The main reason why I don't want to stay there this time is that I'm afraid that my child will become like that, so I won't even let my child go there. I want to leave a family fortune for my child and completely separate myself from that place. I can live there by myself.
You can hold on for as long as you want. If you can't hold on, find a puppet and give everything to the other party, and then I will withdraw."
Zhao Mingyang took a deep breath, wiped his face with a towel, put down the towel, took a cup of tea, took a sip of tea and said: "You have been spending money and managing relationships these years. You have spent a lot of money and have good connections. In fact, you can
Just find a financial management company to help you manage your finances.
But you also want to have a family fortune. This is really difficult to do. To be honest, you are actually a thunder now. You can be settled by the major powers in the world at any time. If you don’t want this, I don’t recommend that you continue to waste your money.
.
You don’t have to look for me, it’s useless to look for me, and I can’t cooperate with you. Either you continue to give money to those people you say are useless, or you have to change the track.
If you make some money over there, it will basically be taken away by the three companies next door. If you don't take it, how can you feel at ease over there? The essence is that you make money from the people over there, and then distribute it, but the difference is that you all share the money.
points.
But after something happened, the powerful countries wanted to mobilize their troops to hold you accountable. Thailand, Vietnam and Laos would not be able to help you. They would directly sacrifice you to God. They are just a small shrimp in the eyes of the powerful countries, and you are a small shrimp in their eyes.
You have no information related to positive energy in that area, so you are a thunder and you are just a puppet.
If you want to leave, you will easily be settled by your descendants. Who knows, a certain boss of a powerful country will be offended by someone from your side, or if you want to use the Golden Triangle to highlight some of your own positive image, you will be in danger.
So I say you don’t need to think about investment and change. What you want is to change the track. My suggestion to you is to build more schools and set rules in the Golden Triangle. Children must go to school, go to school for free, and create more schools.
Some schools can send children to college for free, but there is a restriction there. Everyone who has the ability to move must go to skills training courses and set up some technical schools there.
Then build hospitals, open more free libraries, and within the scope of your ability to intimidate, do something there for outsiders to see. You are changing this area and trying to persuade people to do better. At least you can still do it in the future.
Give yourself a decent excuse.
Pay more money to the people in the three areas next door and ask them to send some people to help you look after it. You build some factories there to transform the industry, such as clothing factories. You distribute the money to everyone and let them experience it.
As long as you can make money and have enough to eat by working in a garment factory.
You can persist for ten years. Ten years later, if you are talking to me about something, maybe I can talk to you. What you want now is a look, understand? A positive and positive face, mainly for everyone to see.
Because of you, everything in the Golden Triangle has become different.
Instead of wasting money on meaningless social networking, you will never get capable people to cooperate with you here. It can be seen that you are a fool, and it will be useless no matter how you package it.
Then you might as well pack yourself up in the Golden Triangle, and let the children there learn more about our traditional virtues and profound culture, and set up a few Chinese schools, temples, Taoist temples and churches instead of you running around here and there.
Strong?
Learn to take advantage of the situation. These things are there, so what are you afraid of? In the end, when you exit, you can also have a landing point and a reason. At least you make it different from before, and you are making it look different.
It will be better because more of your children will go to school and more people will have skills. When you come back later, it has nothing to do with you what will happen there. As long as everything there is getting better while you are there."
Zhao Mingyang got up, went ashore, put on a bath towel, put on slippers and walked back to the hotel.
"Thank you Uncle Mingyang, I remember this kindness!" Zhao Hongtu shouted. Zhao Mingyang did not cooperate with him, but gave him a way to solve the problem.
