"Involved in the struggle between big shots? Have you really watched too many palace battle dramas? Do you think that long-term conflicts are directly on the table?"
Facing Lin Ying's childish advice, Gu Kun couldn't help but feel a little funny.
"I'm just saying that the 'foreign trade faction' and the 'real estate infrastructure faction' in Lanzhou will have conflicting trends in the future, but it doesn't mean that they are ready to break up now. Those big shots are very tolerant and will not offend others unless necessary."
Lin Ying was dissatisfied and used her half-hearted analysis as seen in a palace drama: "But the battle for titles has been a zero-sum game since ancient times. There is no possibility of win-win coexistence. There is only one title."
Gu Kun smiled: "Lan Fang's situation is different. It involves whether a woman can inherit the title, and it is not a traditional competition. In the final analysis, it is the growth of the little princess that ultimately affects the Grand Duke's determination. After all, this is not an ancient family world where idiots are all
Being able to be a modern and powerful monarch requires qualities.
The little princess is still too young, so within four or five years, Zhu Jingye will definitely wait and see what changes will take place to see if his distant cousin becomes a useful person. If not, his inheritance rights will be at his fingertips, so why bother to make a futile attempt to become a villain."
Lin Ying and Gu Pan both understood this explanation.
In the next few years, if Gu Kun wants to pretend to be stupid and only discuss business, not taking sides and not offending others, he can do it.
He still has enough time to slowly get up and develop himself. He does not have to be as direct as when facing the threat of Chen Mingcheng.
And to put it bluntly, when you have a wealth of 1 billion yuan and return to Lanzhou, who else can threaten you?
If you go one step further and have 1 billion US dollars, let alone threats, you can just use the Grand Duke as a puppet. After all, it is just a small country.
Lin Ying then breathed a sigh of relief: "So you think quite carefully and comprehensively. Then when you were dealing with Chen Mingcheng, why did you rush forward and be willing to be Sa Wuyang's swordsman?"
Gu Kun's expression changed: "How do you know?"
Lin Ying shrank her neck: "This is not a secret. I just mentioned it when Panpan and I were taking a bath together."
Gu Kun sighed: "How can that be the same? Why do you think Sa Wuyang gave me so many benefits today and asked me to win so many cheap judicial lots through bidding? That was to reward me for being a fool.
Just like the game between great powers, you cannot directly quarrel with each other, but need a proxy war. Neither the Dutch official nor the Brittanians can directly quarrel with each other. At this time, an ignorant young man rushed out and accidentally broke the
Balance, then the big shots can keep their faces and make peace again after the minor conflicts. If the big shots end in person, it will be a fight to the death."
Gu Kun was actually very shrewd. When he sent Chen Mingcheng away, he seemed arrogant and domineering, but in fact he knew what he was doing.
He also knew that as long as he made sure to "stop here", "the first time was because I was impulsive and ignorant, and was forced to jump over the wall by Chen Mingcheng", then Britannia and Shell Oil would not have to follow him
It’s hard to get through it for a long time.
Because in an accident, victims who think they are wise and rational will not hate a knife unless they find that it is impossible to hold the handle of the knife in their hands.
What Gu Kun has to do is to continue to act out the drama of being "young and ignorant" and "looking for an opportunity to turn back as a prodigal son".
As for the person who will definitely fight to the death with Gu Kun, there is only one person, Chen Mingcheng, who has nothing to do with Shell Oil.
But Gu Kun would definitely not let Chen Mingcheng come out of prison alive in ten years.
The three of them chatted and dinner was almost finished.
Gu Pan went to wash the dishes, while Gu Kun poured himself a glass of after-dinner wine to rinse his mouth, and walked to the balcony to watch the night view of the sea.
Lin Ying followed secretly.
Gu Kun took a sip of wine: "I will send you back tomorrow and continue to study your books. You should have seen through that my life is not as glorious as it seems.
When you are proud, you can flatten and round Chen Mingcheng, but what I do is not fundamentally different from Chen Mingcheng's, except that he is a traitor and works for foreigners, while I do not work for foreigners."
But the risk factor is about the same.
Lin Ying's eyes showed a hint of determination, and she hugged Gu Kun from behind, using Gu Kun's back to block the oncoming sea breeze:
"I understand, your unwillingness to give the title of confidante to the people around you is a kind of protection, right? But do you think I will leave after knowing so many things about you? Then who am I? I don't want a name.
I just want to follow you."
Gu Kun sighed: "You have been with me for less than a week. Why did you fall so fast? I have never seen a girl like you."
Lin Yingjiao said angrily: "I'm sorry, okay! I've known you for three or four months. It's your fault that you never see the end of the dragon. You only stay in port for one or two days every month. What can I do? I can only do it quickly.
Cut the mess."
Gu Kun drank the remaining wine in the cup: "The trouble with me is not as simple as you think - you also saw it today. I bought a coral island and will be a Lanfang cultural tourism tycoon in the future.
.When I become prosperous, the life I show to the public will definitely be one of luxury and luxury——
You know the story of the Hilton family, right? It’s that hotel tycoon family that has a man in the family who wants to be a Playboy, and if there is no man, the hotel tycoon family wants their daughter to be on the cover of Playboy.”
Lin Ying's eyes flickered for a moment, and then her expression darkened.
Her family also owns a hotel. She has a good knowledge of the industry and of course knows the deeds of the Hilton family.
In fact, Gu Kun originally wanted to directly use Paris Hilton as an example, because this girl was a well-known socialite in the high-end hotel, culture and travel industry at the beginning of the 21st century, and even Chinese people were familiar with the trend of life.
However, Paris seems to have been born in 1981, and she is only thirteen or fourteen years old now. She has not had the opportunity to be a social beauty for the family business, so Gu Kun cannot use her as an example. Fortunately, the Hilton family has been like this for generations.
Gu Kun is a rotten person, so Lin Ying can understand Gu Kun even if he doesn't mention his specific name.
In the same way, Gu Kun cannot take Wang Xcong of China Wanda Real Estate as an example. Although the personality and external image of Wang Gongzi are exactly the same as Paris, they are all designed to make the family's hotel, commercial real estate, etc. a high-class society.
Communicative exposure.
These people are very pitiful. Maybe they are not lustful or slutty in nature, but they are designed for family business.
Going further back, similar examples can even be traced back to King Hedu of Ao County. When he was young, there were so many women, and he couldn't help himself.
There is no way to separate the high-end luxury cultural tourism industry from the trendy lifestyle and persona.
They show off their wealth and lifestyle to increase communication for their business. Even if there is no divine system behind them that forces them to "get wiped out no matter how much money they make every month," they must still be affected by their own persona and publicity image.
Forced, keep building, and building with great energy.
Gu Kun is well aware of this, so when he was reading online novels in his previous life, he was also very surprised as to why there is such a thing as the Shenhao System in the world - to be forced to spend money and play with women, you still need to have a Shenhao System.
Force you?
Isn’t it true that as long as you enter the big pit of the luxury cultural tourism industry, you will naturally be on the road of no return?
Aren't you naturally better at showing off your corruption than all the wealth-showing charts on "Little Orange Book", so that you can become the number one in the industry?
In the final analysis, the cultural and tourism industry is a show-off economy. There are actually many places in the world with beautiful seawater and beautiful corals. What determines where everyone goes is ultimately the recognition and scarcity in the social show-off circle.
Show off wealth for the sake of scarcity.
The purpose of showing the corruption of the boss of the cultural and tourism consortium is for recognition - otherwise, if you are scarce, you will be scarce. People will come to your place to pretend to be cool for a week, and when they go back, they will post on Moments, and none of their friends will recognize them or have heard of them.
Isn't that money wasted in this place?
After thinking about this logic, Lin Ying was really shocked.
This is no longer a matter of status and safety. In the future, Gu Kun will still face the unavoidable temptation of playing tricks and showing off his personality.
It's not easy being in the world of martial arts.
"You are really a gentleman and magnanimous. Why are you so cruel? Tell me this now..." Lin Ying was confused and confused for a moment.
"Go to bed early. This world is not as simple as you think." Gu Kun supported the girl and sent her back to her room.
…
After a night of silence, Gu Kun sailed to send his sister and Lin Ying back to Kuching early the next morning, telling them to continue studying hard and not to think about things in society. After these two days of experience, Lin Ying felt a little better.
I have become more mature and lost some of the innocent fantasies of a girl.
Gu Kun himself planned to take some time to discuss future long-term cooperation with Sa Wuyang, and then return to China to make arrangements.
(The transitional chapter is finally over and I will start a new career soon. I hope everyone will have patience.)
