In fact, the reason why Lin Zhensong came to persuade the two of them and revealed a lot of information was not only to help the two of them, but also to keep each other warm.
Although the Lin family at this time had already made a fortune from the previous incident, which greatly increased the Lin family's financial resources, it did not greatly enhance the Lin family's strength.
After all, the money was hot and involved, and the Lin family could not bring it to light. In the same way, the Lin family had made a huge fortune after the U.S. Silver Act was passed, but it could not be made public, at least in the short term.
In this way, the money must be converted into strength over time.
During this period of time, the Lin family needed some external force to prevent the Lin family from being hit. This was one of the reasons why Lin Zhensong approached the two of them.
At the same time, the Lin family also needs to increase their funds on the surface during this period to make others mistakenly think that the Lin family has begun to recover. This is why Lin Zhensong bought silver bricks.
Originally, Lin Zhensong planned to use a rubber product factory to achieve the "illusion" of restoring the Lin family. However, after Lin Mo told Lou Shaoguang that the Lin family would need to keep a low profile in the future, Lin Zhensong changed his mind.
Lin Zhensong thought for a moment and guessed Lin Mo's worry. He was afraid that the Lin family would be too conspicuous and would arouse the greed of some people in the government, or that the Lin family would become a target of the Japanese because of Lin Mo's dealings with the Japanese.
As for the rubber product factories, they already had the potential to attack Japan, and it would not be appropriate to place them under the Lin family, so Lin Zhensong changed his plan and let the silver and garment factories take over.
Originally, before today, there were only garment factories, but today I suddenly encountered Silver Bricks, so Lin Zhensong added Silver Bricks to the mix.
However, the arrival of the silver bricks gave Lin Zhensong more means, but it also caused Lin Zhensong some worries. After all, the overseas arrangements have not been completed yet. If this matter has an effect on increasing the price of silver, then it will
That's not necessarily a good thing.
Lin Zhensong felt that it was necessary to go to Nanjing to discuss the matter with Lin Mo and ask Lin Mo clearly about his plans to avoid having to modify his plans again.
The three of them, Lin Zhensong, were chatting and drinking tea. The topic turned to Seven Star Company again, and then they heard Lu Jingde say: "Old Lin and Old Deng, I think it is necessary to recruit more people to join us.
Hug together to keep warm.
The strength behind the people of Seven Star Company is indeed too great. We alone cannot resist them. Now we still have room to make concessions, but one day we will be forced into a corner by these people. Simply giving in will not solve the problem.
question."
Hearing this, Deng Wenru nodded and said with emotion: "Yes! They are only targeting imports now, but what about import control? Their eyes will definitely be on other places, and they may try to seize ours again.
Factory.
When the factories are taken away, these greedy guys may be eyeing our property and want to resist, but we may not have the strength."
Lin Zhensong frowned after hearing this. Although Lin Zhensong knew that with the Lin family's years of accumulation, it was unlikely that he would take away the Lin family's property, Lin Zhensong didn't want to let these people take advantage of them anymore.
The Lin family gave up the import business mainly because of Lin Mo's persuasion and analysis of the future situation, otherwise the Lin family would definitely have to fight with the other party.
The Lin family does have this strength. After all, the relationship between the Lin family is complicated. In the end, although it may have to pay a high price or make certain concessions, it is impossible to give in so easily.
What Lin Zhensong is worried about now is that the other party gets it so easily and will be forced again and again in the future, which will be a troublesome thing for the Lin family.
Although at that time, the strength of the Lin family was definitely no longer the same as before, but a large part of the strength was definitely hidden, and Lin Zhensong did not want to be exposed just because of them.
What's more, in addition to the Lin family, there are other people, especially Deng Wenru and Lu Jingde, who are also important links in the Lin family's network.
And they may not be able to be saved by then. Without them, the Lin family will be almost alone in the business world. This is not what Lin Zhensong wants to see.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhensong organized his words and said: "We really can't let these people continue. It's really time to unite.
But in the import business, as I said before, we don't have any advantages. It's difficult to win against them here. Besides, we have either given up or decided to give up now, so there is no need to waste energy here anymore.
The three of us are either already engaged in industry or are starting to prepare to go into industry. I suggest we start here.
Industry is different from imports, especially when opening a factory, there are requirements for factory machinery, personnel, technicians and skills. It is not something they can just grab business if they want. We can have certain advantages in these aspects.
If they dare to rob the factory directly, it will be different in nature from robbing the import business. The latter only robs business, while the former robs property.
If they directly rob the property, the matter will be too serious. Others will no longer be as indifferent as they were when they robbed the business this time. It will be much easier to recruit other people to fight together.
The three of us have now embarked on the road of industrial factories, and in building factories, we can have a lot of cooperation with each other, and even hold shares in each other. It can be said that we are on the same page, and it will not be a problem to advance or retreat together in the future.
In the same way, we work with other factory workers in the same way, we cooperate with each other, hold shares, draw them in, and then unite to fight against outsiders."
After listening to this, Deng Wenru and Lu Jingde fell into deep thought. In fact, it was not that Deng Wenru was unwilling to put down the business at hand, but that giving up like this would make it too easy for the other party.
As for Lu Jingde, he is not only stingy, but also very cautious. In fact, he was already thinking about this matter when the Lin family gave up the import business.
After the two of them thought about it, Lu Jingde was the first to speak: "Old Lin, I think your method is very feasible. Just like me, I have a lot of contacts with people who run factories.
Either they import raw materials from them, or they import some semi-finished products, etc. The relationship is still relatively close. For this kind of thing, synchronized actions are not a big problem.
Of course, if we can hold shares with each other, the relationship will definitely go further. When the other party wants to move any factory, it will be in the interests of everyone, so it will not be a problem to advance and retreat together."
Lin Zhensong listened and said with a smile: "Lao Lu, what you said is not bad. Let's do it this way. Lao Lu, I am also open to you to invest here, but when I make decisions and spend money, you can't be stingy."
"No problem, Old Lin, I'm not stingy! I just cherish money..."
"Haha..." Upon hearing this, Lin Zhensong and Deng Wenru laughed immediately.
After laughing, Deng Wenru said: "Lao Lu, it's the same here. It's also open to you. If you want to hold shares, just say hello."
After hearing this, Lu Jingde smiled and said: "Since you have said so, I will no longer hide it. Just tell me which of my industries you want to join."
Next, the three of them started a secret conversation in the box, discussing their respective shareholding issues and how to select people to join.
The reason why the discussion was able to be clarified so quickly was mainly due to Lin Zhensong and Lu Jingde. Both of them had considered it beforehand and had a first draft in mind. Working with each other, they quickly sorted things out.

In another place in Shanghai, David's cocktail party had not yet started. During the break in preparations, David used this time to get together with several foreigners.
When David walked out, he was grinning from ear to ear. It was obvious that this conversation made David very satisfied.
Back at the reception setting, David pulled a foreigner aside and said, "Steve, please notify us immediately and ship all the remaining silver bricks we have.
Remember not to ship all of it to Shanghai, but also ship a portion to Tianjin and Guangzhou to test the waters and see how it sells there.
Also, let Thors continue to buy silver bricks. After a while, funds will be transferred to the account. You can buy as much as you can. The speed must be fast and don't let those people react."
After hearing this, Steve also had a smile on his face and asked: "Boss, have we made a lot of money this time?"
"Of course, don't ask so many questions. I won't let you lose. Go quickly!"
Steve heard this, nodded, and quietly left the reception.
…………………………
A party was also being arranged in the Hongkou District's Special High School, but the atmosphere was not the same as David's. Every participant's face was covered with a layer of gloom.
In the venue, Takeuchi couldn't sit still when he saw that Sakai hadn't shown up yet, so he got up and found Sakai's office, but unfortunately there was no one there.
In Sakai's residence, Sakai was pouring one cup after another of sake into his stomach.
At this time, Sakai had long lost his former energy. His hair was messy, his face was withered, his eyes were lifeless, and his whole person was filled with an aura of decadence.
"Huh..." The door in front of Sakai was opened. Sakai glanced at it and continued drinking.
The person coming was none other than Takeuchi. Looking at Sakai in front of him, Takeuchi was a little angry. He immediately stepped forward and snatched the wine bottle from Sakai's hand, and lectured: "Sakai-kun, please respect yourself. Everyone is still waiting to see you off."
"Huh... farewell? What's there to say goodbye to? Uh... um, farewell to me... farewell to me and never come back?"
After hearing this, Takeuchi advised: "Sakai-kun, we don't mean this. Please cheer up. I believe you can get through it.
Today there is news from Nanjing that most of the people in that group are broken. I believe that person will also choose to be broken. The matter has not reached the point of irreversibility."
Hearing this, Sakai's eyes shone with light. He grabbed Takeuchi as if grasping a life-saving straw and asked eagerly: "Takeuchi-kun, is this the news from Tamura-kun?"
Hearing this, Takeuchi shook his head and replied: "It's the news from another team of ours. There is no news from Tamura-kun yet."
Hearing this, Sakai let go of Takeuchi and sat down on the ground. After a while, he staggered up, picked up the suitcase behind him, and swayed out of the door.
"There is an old saying in China that is really good, beat the drowned dog... the drowned dog... hahahahaha... it seems that I am that dog..."
After saying that, Sakai broke away from Takeuchi who came to help him, walked out of the door quickly and walked away alone.
Takeuchi followed him out but did not chase him. He knew that Sakai needed to be alone.
Just looking at Sakai's lonely figure, Zhu felt very uncomfortable in his heart. He didn't know if one day he would be like Sakai.
