Chapter 1119 Thank you, Father-in-law
The times are progressing, and people must develop.
Interests are eternal, just like productivity. Advanced productivity will inevitably replace backward productivity, and a broader interest structure will also replace the existing interest structure.
In the past, the big families would give the small families the food they had saved from their own pockets, and the small families would have to work hard for the big families at any time, giving them women and gold.
Even so, you still have to live carefully, so that you don't get slapped into dust by the other party one day for no reason.
But now it’s different. They can bypass the big families and engage in foreign trade.
Everyone knew that foreign trade was the most profitable business right now. Since there were ready-made channels, resources, and so on, why not go for it? No matter how you looked at it, following my husband seemed to be the best choice.
"No one is perfect, and even gold is not pure. Although I, Lei Zhen, am not perfect, I can promise that the Foreign Trade Department of the Public Opinion Research Bureau will not accept a single cent from any family." Lei Zhen continued, holding the microphone, "I'm not pursuing profit. I want to see our family truly rise. We can no longer stand still. This is just a small world. We don't even understand the financial game, but the West has already begun to harvest us!"
The word "complacency" is used very well, and this is the current situation of the family.
They always think they are very awesome, and they fight among themselves, but in the end it is just a zero-sum game.
Defeat one company, plunder all its wealth, then be defeated by someone else, and all its wealth is plundered by someone else, always falling into a cycle of fighting.
"You're more concerned about profit and resources, but I'm more concerned about the vast universe and how to make the East truly the best in the world."
"Western families have long since completed their frantic accumulation of wealth through plundering. But what about us? Farming is fine, but now is the age of technology, and the future will be an era of technological explosion. Food won't be a problem anymore."
"When food is no longer a problem, it's time to enter a new era of conquest. The horn has already sounded, and it all depends on whether we are foresighted..."
These words silenced the clan leaders. It was not that they had not thought about going out, and the families in the southeast also had a tradition of going out, but they were restricted by the big families.
In this situation, the small family really has no way out and does not have the strength to go against the big family.
The big families don't care about these things. They control the economic lifeline of the regions and families under their jurisdiction. They never have to worry about insufficient resources. They only need to worry about whether they can manage the families below them well.
The butcher's knife is used when it is time to use it, and the pie is given when it is time to give it. In short, everything revolves around the word "oppression".
"Clan leader Sun, do you have any different opinions? You're looking around there, seeming very impatient." Lei Zhen stared at Sun Jingshan.
He planned to first take out a big family, kill the other party's fighting spirit, and make them understand their current situation.
There is no doubt that Sun Jingshan from the Central Family is the best. He was temporarily recruited to complete the five major families, and he is also the follower of the Jiang Family.
"Mr. Lei, I have no objection and I am not impatient," said Sun Jingshan.
"Really?" Lei Zhen stared at him.
"Really not." Sun Jingshan smiled and said, "I absolutely support your opinion."
"Then do you want to join the Trade Department?" Lei Zhen said with a smile, "No one from the five major families has expressed interest in joining yet. Why not have Patriarch Sun take the lead? This is a good thing. Gold is everywhere in the West."
"this……"
Sun Jingshan was caught and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Old Man Jiang.
"What are you looking at my father-in-law doing? He can't even make a decision on such a small matter? The Central Department also has absolute autonomy. You don't have to look at anyone's face." Lei Zhen reminded.
It won’t work if the five major families don’t express their stance. They must be asked to express their stance and join.
It may seem meaningless, but in reality it weakens the prestige of the five major families and brings them to the same level as the smaller families.
The second thing is to give them a sweet treat first. Once they become addicted, you can use various means to strangle them, and then all the families will become obedient.
"We in the central region are too conservative. Why don't we wait and see?" Sun Jingshan said with a forced smile.
"You don't support my project?" Lei Zhen's face suddenly changed. "What can I say to you? I'm doing this for the benefit of everyone, and not only are you not taking the lead, you're even waiting and seeing? Are you just trying to put me off? I've even asked you this, and you still don't understand what's going on? Damn it!"
He suddenly started cursing in public, leaving Sun Jingshan stunned.
After all, I am the patriarch of the Central Sun Family. How can you scold me in front of so many people?
Anyone would be confused because this is impossible to happen. No matter what, they have to keep the dignity of these big families.
"What the hell are you staring at? I can give you a vassal state, but I can also take it back." Lei Zhen pointed at his nose and continued to curse, "Don't play innocent in front of me, and don't look down on my father-in-law. What I say is what he says. My father-in-law has supported me from the beginning to the end!"
The first move was against Sun Jingshan, but in the end it fell on Old Man Jiang.
The words "my father-in-law has fully supported me from beginning to end" instantly created a subtle rift between them.
No matter what, they are getting married.
Who can guarantee that this isn't a trap set up by Old Man Jiang? It seems he's dealing with Lei Zhen, but is he actually using this opportunity to help his son-in-law gain control of the family?
No one can guarantee it, and no one can say for sure.
"Mr. Lei, I'm in." Sun Jingshan chose to join.
"It's too late. There are no more spots left." Lei Zhen said calmly, "Some things have to be grasped. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again."
Got fooled!
Sun Jingshan frowned and gritted his teeth in hatred.
But he had no other choice, because the old man Jiang next to him kept his eyes closed. With no one to support him, he could only suffer in silence.
"Lu Xiaoqi, Clan Leader Lu." Lei Zhen smiled at Lu Xiaoqi and said, "Are you satisfied with the absolute autonomy you've been granted this time?"
"Thank you, Mr. Lei. I am very satisfied." Lu Xiaoqi bowed and said with a smile.
"As long as Patriarch Lu is satisfied, that's all that matters. If you need anything in the future, just come to me directly. There's no need to go around looking for others because no one is as good as me, haha."
"It is enough for me to have your words, sir."
"Okay, the Northeast depends on Patriarch Lu!"
“…”
Treat Lu Xiaoqi politely and just give him a slight reminder.
As for the rebellion, it was as if nothing had happened. Before it could cause a huge wave, everything was calm.
"Father-in-law, wake up."
Lei Zhen walked down and came in front of Old Man Jiang with a smile on his face.
"oh……"
Old man Jiang opened his eyes, but seemed still asleep.
"Thank you, father-in-law. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do with this matter." Lei Zhen bowed and said, "As expected, the old ones are the wisest. Thank you for your help, father-in-law."
“…”
God knows what mood Old Man Jiang is in now. He arranged everything, but was unable to withstand the opponent's move. Now he has to accept his thanks, as if he really joined forces with the opponent to cheat the five major families.
