Guo Kun also nodded repeatedly and said: "That's right, the boy and Shen Tan secretly investigated that matter. But no clues were found. However, Shen Tan said that there must be an inside story about this matter. Shen Tan is an old man. If something was wrong, he would be able to smell it right away. At that time, there was news that Lin Run and Lin Song within the Lin family openly expressed doubts, but later, for some unknown reason, they stopped. The child was not interested in investigating further. "
Guo Bing nodded and said: "That's it. Everything shows that the Lin family is not the Lin family that Lin Jue said. In order not to offend us, Lin Boyong chose to expel Lin Jue. What does Lin Bonian think of Lin Jue? What repayment was made for the previous actions? I still remember clearly that he colluded with Wu Chunlai to force Lin Jue. What reason did Lin Jue have to save him? No matter from the perspective of the Lin family or Lin Jue's personal perspective, he had no reason to do so. But he did it anyway. Why? ?”
"Why?" Guo Kun also rolled his eyes and asked in confusion.
"Because his goal is to become the head of the Lin family." Guo Bing said softly.
"But... is the position of the head of the family so important? Especially in this situation. The Lin family is about to lose everything. What's the use of being the head of the family?" Guo Kun frowned.
"You still don't understand. It was under such circumstances that he had the opportunity to take advantage of the fire. As for why he became the head of the family, I don't know. Maybe he just wanted the status of the head of the family, or maybe it was for some other purpose. But there is no need to go into details. In short, in my opinion, his purpose step by step is to win people's hearts step by step and become the head of this family." Guo Bing said thoughtfully.
Guo Kun was confused, he still didn't understand.
"First of all, if it is impossible to save Lin Bonian, even if the Lin family comes to the capital, they will be unable to do anything in the end. And this may be what they want. They certainly don't want to go bankrupt to save Lin Bonian and let the family go bankrupt. The Lin family had nothing. But Lin Jue found a way to rescue people and was determined to save people. This was like holding the rest of the Lin family in the air. They had to agree to save people. In that case, who would dare to say not to save people? "Let the head of the Lin family die? No one dares to say that. So Lin Jue is actually holding a knife and forcing everyone in the Lin family to make this choice." Guo Bing stretched out a white finger and said. Then he stretched out another The second one came out.
"Secondly, Lin Jue put forward generous conditions in the negotiations with Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengshu. If Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengshu were hit in their weaknesses, they naturally had to agree. And the conditions proposed by Lin Jue were also very particular. , why not more or less than two million taels of silver? Have you ever thought about it?"
Guo Kun shook his head and said, "My child doesn't understand."
"Because two million taels is the total value of the Lin family's entire property. Lin Jue has been the chief steward of the Lin family, and he knows the Lin family's wealth. So he reported this amount because he knew that this amount could be used by the Lin family to sell iron. , and for Yan Zhengsheng and Fang Dunru, this number is also a lot of money, enough to impress them. If it is less, Yan Zhengsheng and Fang Dunru may not be willing to agree, and if it is more, it will be in vain if the Lin family cannot come up with it, so it is two The amount is one million taels." Guo Bing explained.
Guo Kun frowned and said: "I see. But... the Lin family's properties are all sold out, what good does it do to Lin Jue?"
Guo Bing smiled and said: "That's what I want to tell you next. As the saying goes, if the Lin family still has an industry and can maintain it, as long as Lin Jue's status, the chief manager is his limit. He will never Don't even think about becoming the head of the Lin family. When everyone in the Lin family realized that they had nothing, they lost all their proud capital. It can be imagined that they must be heartbroken and feel that the future will be bleak. The so-called broken, broken It is not only the wealth owned by the Lin family, but also the hearts of everyone in the Lin family. Let them understand that the Lin family is no longer the Lin family where they can just rest on their ancestral property and squander it as much as they want."
Guo Kun was stunned and speechless, and was stunned.
Guo Bing continued: "At this time, if there is one person who can bring hope to the Lin family, then this person is undoubtedly the savior of the Lin family. Lin Jue stood up at this time. Of course, we also have to do this.
Helped him. Lin Jue has actually already thought of a plan to ask me, Prince Liang’s Mansion, to come forward to buy the Lin family’s property, and he also knows that I, Prince Liang’s Mansion, will definitely help him, because with Caiwei’s help, we can’t let Caiwei
We were reduced to a state of poverty. But Lin Jue knew that if he just sold the property to us, the Lin family would have nothing. This was not a way out. So he proposed that the 550,000 taels should be redeemed in five years.
The ambitious plan of the Lin family industry. Kun'er, think about it, the Lin family is like a person on the verge of drowning. Suddenly there is a life-saving straw in front of them. How can they miss this opportunity? Lin Jue knows that they will definitely agree to this plan.
But the problem is that repaying the debt of 550,000 taels every year is an impossible task for the Lin family. At this time, whoever is the head of the family must be responsible for the final result. Therefore, I guess
At this time, I am afraid that no one else in the Lin family is willing to take this hot stone. At this time, Lin Jue, who proposed this plan, became logical. This is called accepting orders in times of danger and taking millet from the fire. Everything is to force the Lin family not to question him.
I have the qualifications to be the head of the family, and I took the initiative to give up the position of the head of the family. Do you think it is smart or not?"
Hearing this, Guo Kun suddenly realized and was filled with sadness. If his father's analysis was correct, then this brother-in-law's methods were too clever. Regardless of why the position of the head of the Lin family was so attractive to him,
Just looking at the method, this is absolutely brilliant and jaw-dropping.
"Father, why do you think Lin Jue wants to make up for the three hundred thousand taels of silver himself? Our price is only one million seven hundred thousand. There is absolutely no need for him to do this." Guo Kun asked.
"I just thought about it carefully and figured it out. The total value of the Lin family's property is between 1.8 million and 2 million taels. Lin Jue refused to tell the Lin family our true bid. In fact, it is not
It is still a psychological consideration. Just imagine, if Lin Jue tells them that we are only willing to pay 1.7 million taels of silver, the Lin family will think that Lin Jue has sold the family business cheaply, and will eventually use their private money or...
Selling the mansion to make up for it would arouse their resentment. Lin Jue's choice to make up for the three hundred thousand taels of silver by himself would exceed the value of the Lin family's property and would give everyone in the Lin family the feeling that he had gained huge benefits for the Lin family.
The illusion of benefit naturally leads to more trust in him. When you want to accomplish something and achieve a goal, there is no need to care about the price you pay. Avoid extraneous matters to the greatest extent and strive for the greatest possibility of success.
, this is the reason why Lin Jue is willing to do this. And to be honest, the money is not his, damn, this guy must have used Caiwei's dowry money. Caiwei, this girl, eh,
Is Lin Jue worth everything she has to do if she is a bad girl and her elbows are turned outward? Damn it." Guo Bing was helpless and uttered two curse words in a row.
"But... even if Lin Jue becomes the head of the family, can he lead the Lin family to earn 550,000 taels of silver a year? If not..." Guo Kun asked with a frown.
Guo Bing smacked his lips and asked, "If you can't pay the money, will you fall out with your brother-in-law?"
Guo Kun rolled his eyes and said, "For Caiwei's sake, I'm afraid I won't."
Guo Bing spread his hands and sighed: "That's not bad. If you can't do it, how can I do it? This guy just took advantage of this. If he can pay off our capital in five years, I will be satisfied."
If there are more, that would be better. Can I force my son-in-law and daughter to suffer? We are just being used by him. He can directly borrow two million taels of silver from us to solve this matter.
But he didn't do that. With just such a toss, he would be the savior of the Lin family in the future. He would have earned all the Lin family's property. How could those young masters of the Lin family still not obey and live in peace?
The boy really... really... I don’t know what to say."
Indeed, Guo Kun couldn't find any adjectives to describe his brother-in-law. Brilliantly resourceful? Scheming as the sea? Unfathomable? None of them seem to be accurate descriptions. Perhaps adding "unscrupulous" would be more appropriate.
…
In the morning, Sansi Yamen entered Sansi, and Zhang Jun, the envoy of Sansi, was sitting in his office, drinking tea and looking in a daze.
Recently, Zhang Jun has been living on tenterhooks. Except for himself, the chief official of the Sansi Yamen, and his three deputies were all detained by Yushitai in Yushitai Prison. He suddenly became a
A bare pole.
Zhang Jun did not feel lucky that he had not been approached by the Yushitai yet. He knew that the reason why he was still sitting here was because the Privy Councilor Yang Jun protected himself in front of the emperor, and the emperor did not approve.
That's why Yan Zhengsheng and Fang Dunru couldn't take him away. Otherwise, how could Fang Dunru allow him to be free. Every morning, Fang Dunru looked at him as if he was looking at a prey that was about to die.
Thinking about where to bite yourself.
Zhang Jun is still calm and composed on the surface. He still goes to court every day and comes to the public house to handle official business. He looks orderly and unhurried. It gives people the illusion that he is upright and not afraid of the shadow. But Zhang Jun understands in his heart that his own affairs
Once they are all dug out, their lives will be lost.
After serving as the Third Secretary for eleven years, Zhang Jun has thousands of properties in his hands, including three manors. There are as many as eight real estates in Hangzhou and Beijing. These real estates are already worth millions, not to mention the secret rooms at home.
There is a mountain of gold and silver stored there. Of course, most of these real estate buildings are under the name of his younger brother Zhang Yi, for safety reasons. Zhang Yi works in a local government and is not so eye-catching, but he lives in
The position of the Third Secretary is in full view of the public, so you have to be extra careful.
Originally, Zhang Jun thought that this year would go by the same as previous years, without any disturbance. Making money has become a kind of inertia, and in fact it has become a bit numb. And the idea of going further has gradually faded away, because Zhang Jun can see that,
Neither Prime Minister Lu nor Privy Yang was someone he could offend, and in order not to arouse hatred, he would never get into a heated fight with any one party. He would just keep silent and make a fortune.
