Faced with the stance of Uncle Wu's family, Lin Kun naturally had no reason to refuse. His grandfather had always emphasized to him that he did not want to see fratricide among relatives. What the older generation can leave to the younger generation is the most true, not necessarily
No matter how big the family fortune is, it is more about family ties. Looking at the whole of China, whether they are high-ranking officials or ordinary people, how many brothers ended up fighting to death because of the interests of the family...
Lin Kun's current idea is very simple, which is to bring the Zhu family's relatives together as much as possible, and problems that can be solved with gentlemanly etiquette must not escalate into bloody violence.
After leaving Zhu Kundong's home, Lin Kun walked slowly towards the small courtyard where he lived. He happened to pass by Mr. Zhu's door. In the yard, the old man was playing chess with the old housekeeper. The sky was completely dark, and a warm light was shining in the yard.
of lights.
Lin Kun pushed open the wooden door and came in. The old butler smiled and raised his head, while Mr. Zhu was still looking down in thought. The old butler smiled and said: "Master Kun, are you done?"
Old Zhu didn't even look up and said, "You've come just in time. Come and see what's next."
Lin Kun came to Mr. Zhu's side and looked at the chess pieces he was looking forward to. He was not at a point where he had no way forward or retreat. On the contrary, Lin Kun just took a quick look and saw that there were at least three ways to do it.
Way to get out.
Mr. Zhu still lowered his head and said: "If you see something, just make a move."
Lin Kun was not polite and picked up one of the chess pieces. Under the gaze of Mr. Zhu and the old housekeeper, he actually took a step back instead of advancing.
The old butler looked a little embarrassed, thinking that Lin Kun didn't know how to play chess. After careful consideration, Mr. Zhu burst out laughing, "It's good to retreat to advance, it's good chess. They say that young people are energetic and decisive in killing."
, but you really have to know how to put away this murderous intention, then you are mature and wise..."
Mr. Zhu raised his head and said with a smile: "Did you just go to your fourth uncle and fifth uncle's place?"
Lin Kun said with a smile: "The fourth uncle is not at home, only the fourth aunt and cousin Zhengzheng are here, and the fifth uncle's family are all here."
Mr. Zhu stood up. Lin Kun stepped forward to support him. Mr. Zhu waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need to support me, my body is quite agile. Your fifth uncle has no big ambitions. Since he is willing to
When you meet alone, it proves that he has regarded you as one of his own. In fact, the relationship between him and your uncles has not been very good. Your uncles and others do not look down on his weakness, and he does not look down on their intrigues."
Lin Kun said: "Grandpa, there are some things I don't know whether I should say."
Zhu Laodao: "If there is anything you can't say, just say what you want to say."
Lin Kun said: "Uncle Wu was cheated when he joined hands with others to do business outside. There is something wrong with Uncle Wu, but it also reflects a family problem."
Mr. Zhu said: "Oh?"
"The reason why Uncle Wu went into business is just to make more money. The Zhu family has a lot of money every month and a lot of dividends every year, but people are always greedy. When ability is not proportional to ambition,
Time is often the beginning of tragedy."
Lin Kun paused for a moment and continued: "I think that in the future, our Zhu family should reduce dividends and annual dividends. It is true that the growth of a family relies on direct lines, but we must also reuse those collateral lines, so that our Zhu family's stall
Only then will the spread become bigger and bigger.”
Mr. Zhu nodded and said with a smile: "It's a good idea, kid, but have you ever thought about it. If we really reuse those collaterals, what if one day they turn against us? Being a human being means again.
Even when he is generous, there will also be times when he is selfish. Grandpa has not reused his subordinates for so many years, but only lets them do some things without real power, just in case.
You are still young and it is good to have ideas, but many things are based on the experience summed up by our ancestors. You just said to reduce the dividends and year-end share. This is tantamount to taking away the jobs of your uncles and uncles. This is forcing them to
Rebellion."
Lin Kun said: "The share money and dividends can be reduced, but they are not recovered, but used for the company's investment. In the future, everyone will be allocated an industry. If they do well, they will make more money. If they do not do well, they will make more money."
Well, we can only lose money, and our Zhu family is not afraid of losing money, but after losing money, everyone needs to bear the profit and loss."
Mr. Zhu thought for a moment and said with a smile: "You want to force them to work hard, especially people like your fifth uncle, right?"
Lin Kun nodded, and Mr. Zhu smiled and said: "Son, have you ever thought about it, if your cousins or uncles have too much control over the resources in their hands, will they turn against you in the end?"
As for you, Grandpa still said that, you must be on guard against others, especially for a family as big as ours."
Lin Kun did not continue to have an in-depth chat with Mr. Zhu on this issue. After chatting some other gossip, Lin Kun left the small courtyard and went home. The old housekeeper was still sitting in front of the chessboard and studying with his head down. Mr. Zhu turned around and looked at him
, smiled and said: "What's wrong? Are you at a loss?"
The old butler raised his head and said with a wry smile: "No matter which chess piece I make, I will be slaughtered next. Master Kun's move of advancing before retreating is really clever."
Mr. Zhu smiled and said, "Then you didn't hear a bit of what we just said?"
The old housekeeper said: "I heard it."
Zhu Laodao: "Then do you think what Lin Kun said makes sense?"
The old housekeeper said: "How should I put this? The four major families in Zhongnanhai and the other three families are in a similar situation to ours. They are all wary of collateral lines and are eager to inherit the family. Except for the outstanding heirs, the other heirs are all heartless.
Ambition."
Mr. Zhu smiled and said: "Yes, that's the point. I just hope that my sons can be as worry-free as Lao Wu. The Zhu family is not afraid of raising idle people, but they are afraid of outstanding heirs fighting each other.
, this is what hurts the most vitality.”
The old housekeeper said: "But Master Kun will be the head of the family in the future. If he follows his method, wouldn't the Zhu family be in danger in the future? Should Mr. Zhu give him some advice on this matter?"
Mr. Zhu said with a smile: "I am already old and my thinking is old-fashioned. From now on, when the Zhu family is passed to him, he will have the final say. I will not interfere with anything anymore."
The old housekeeper said: "But there should be considerable resistance from Master Kunhang and the others."
Zhu Laodao: "What they hope most now is that Lin Kun disappears completely from my eyes, but they don't have the courage. I know many of my sons and grandsons, so I can take one out alone.
It’s really hard to take on such a big responsibility, but fortunately God sent Kunzi back to me.”
A night without words...
One day, it will be Mr. Zhu's birthday, and the Zhu family is busy. Zhu Kunhang finally couldn't sit still when he heard that Lin Kun met Li Yulan and Zhu Kundong alone...
