Mysterious treasure chest

Chapter 451

As he said that, the old man of the Jiang family changed the subject, and said directly: "I don't know why Xiao Tianqin sent you to find me, an 'old thief', for what purpose?"

Qin Lanji didn't accept the call, took out the letter written by Xiao Tianqin, and presented it to the other party with both hands: "The chairman said that after reading this letter, you will naturally understand everything."

Mr. Jiang narrowed his eyes, reached out to take the letter, opened it, his eyes lit up for a moment, then put the letter back calmly, nodded to Qin Lanji: "I have read the letter, you can now Go back and report back, just say that I have to think about it, and I will give you an answer before tomorrow."

Qin Lanji bid farewell politely, and soon disappeared from the sight of the father and son.

Only then did the old man hand over the letter in his hand to Jiang Guozheng, and sighed, "Xiao Tianqin is indeed a formidable character. He is not only ruthless to others, but even more ruthless to himself. This time, he offered us an offer that we cannot refuse. See It's time to move around when we come to Jiang's house."

Jiang Guozheng opened the letter curiously, and his eyes widened instantly. In fact, the content of the letter was very short, just a few sentences, but the bargaining chips contained in it were priceless. It's a million dollars!
"It's really ruthless. It's an understatement to cede all the interests of Tianqing Group in the East China Sea to our family. This is a big piece of fat." Jiang Guozheng said in surprise: "In addition, his daughter Xiao Yating should be allowed to share with our family. The marriage between Tianxi and Tianxi clearly shows that our family took advantage of it."

The old man nodded slowly: "That's right, although our family occupies one side of the East China Sea, we have always lacked opportunities and space to go further. Sexual political resources."

"If this marriage can really be achieved, then our family can use Xiao Tianqin's contacts and channels to manage our own political resources."

"After all, behind Xiao Tianqin are the Xiao family and Tianqing Group, and the latter is the stronghold of the young and strong faction in the capital. The future is limitless."

After the old man finished sighing, he said cautiously: "However, Xiao Tianqin seems to be vomiting blood this time for a big sale, but in fact he is not losing money."

"First of all, he ceded to our family the Tianqing Group's interests in the East China Sea. Although this part belongs to Xiao Tianqin's final decision in name, it was actually allocated by the Liu family before."

"Now that Xiao Tianqin wants to give us this piece, we have to settle the Liu family. This will inevitably give us a part of the benefits, and the Liu family will definitely not thank us. Although the Liu family is not as powerful as ours, they will definitely Keep that account on our heads."

Hearing this, Jiang Guozheng was puzzled and said, "Remember us? But Xiao Tianqin obviously brought up this matter. Even if the Liu family wants to bear grudges, they should bear grudges against Xiao Tianqin first, right?"

The old man sneered: "You, you still don't understand the human heart and human nature. You must know that in the struggle of interests, there has never been love and hate that is 'thank you'."

"Because in this kind of interest game, the motivation and source of all actions is the word 'interest', and it can only be these two words, not the irrational 'struggle of spirits'."

"So from an emotional point of view, the Liu family should really hold grudges against Xiao Tianqin, because he was the one who initiated the crime, and he was the one who caused the loss of the interests of the Liu family."

"But you have to understand that if the loss has already been caused, it becomes an established fact and will not change because of your emotions. This is called 'sunk cost' in economics, and you have to learn to ignore it."

"And the only reason that can support you to retaliate against the other party is to 'kill chickens to scare monkeys', because this can, to a certain extent, deter others who want to follow suit, which is a potential benefit."

"But obviously, with the current strength of the Liu family, they don't have the ability to retaliate against Xiao Tianqin, but they have to make a gesture of retaliation, because this is a matter of attitude, which shows that they are not easy to bully."

"In private, the Liu family will definitely reach a settlement with Xiao Tianqin, and then Xiao Tianqin will publicly state his position and make some compensation to the Liu family. This is the rule of the game in this circle."

The old man spoke dryly, and finally knocked his son on the head angrily, cursing: "You are a worthless thing, you have been studying with me for so many years, why are you still not enlightened? If you continue like this , when I die, the golden signboard of our Jiang family's "No. [-] Family in the East China Sea" will fall into your hands!"

Jiang Guozheng kept silent and didn't dare to argue a word. He basically grew up under his father's scolding. He was used to being scolded by his father these years. If his father didn't scold him but praised him, he would panic instead .

In fact, to be honest, Jiang Guozheng didn't want to take over from the old man's class in his heart, because in his opinion, the position of the head of the Jiang family seemed to be very beautiful, but in fact he was exhausted. Besides calculations every day, he was still calculating. A little bit of fun.

Jiang Guozheng himself has no interest in these intrigues. His interests are actually in science and engineering. His childhood dream was to become a scientist.

It's a pity that the old man has trained him as a future successor since he was a child. In the end, Jiang Guozheng University majored in Ma Zhe, not the material science and engineering major he missed most.

But even if Jiang Guozheng learned Ma Zhe's memorization by heart, he still couldn't play the game of power. Over the years, he couldn't even manage alone, let alone take charge of the overall situation, so the old man has always been very dissatisfied with him.

Fortunately, Jiang Guozheng gave birth to a good son. Jiang Tianxi is very keen on studying the weaknesses of human nature and political economy. He is indeed very talented in this area. Anyway, the old man has mentioned to Jiang Guozheng many times that he wants to directly train his grandson to be his successor. people.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven. Jiang Tianxi's temperament has changed drastically since he was unexpectedly subjected to the test of life and death last time. Now he has traveled all over the world. Although he had reached a compromise with his family before going abroad, he still put the old man I was so angry that I was half dead.

Seeing Jiang Guozheng's silent trash now, the old man was so angry that he hummed: "Forget it, it's useless to teach you, anyway, you can't learn it, so you should inform Tianxi immediately Let him come back sooner, we must seize this opportunity of marriage with Xiao Tianqin!"

"Well, I'm going to call Tianxi right away." Jiang Guozheng quickly responded, and then left the old man's house as if he had been pardoned.
