I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

Zhao Derong's words made Changsun Huan dispel some of his doubts. What Zhao Derong said was reasonable and he couldn't find any flaws.

Many people think that as long as you have money, you can cling to the powerful and even spend money to sit in a high position.

But it is basically impossible in this period, especially now that it is a prosperous age. According to Changsun Huan, the only merchant who was knighted after the founding of the country was the Shanxi merchant warrior Xun, who was named Duke Ying by the late emperor.

But that was when the late emperor launched an army, and the warrior Yu provided a large amount of supplies and food for the army.

It's no longer possible now. Merchants are all lowly. Even if you donate some money, it won't change anything. Unless you can donate tens of millions, maybe you can be given the title of aristocrat.

Clinging to powerful people is even more risky. Losing one's family fortune is a small matter if something goes wrong, but losing one's life is a big deal.

Even if you can climb up, these nobles will lie on your body and suck your blood like blood-sucking insects.

"Aren't you afraid that the Duke of Zhao is also concerned about your family property?" Changsun Huan looked at Zhao Derong and said.

"Hahahahaha, Mr. Changsun is really quick to talk. Mr. Zhao Guogong has a good reputation and is widely rumored to be an upright man.

He is also the prime minister of the imperial court and the cornerstone of the country. Why would he risk a little of Zhao's family property?

Although Zhao is helpless, he is not helpless. We seek wealth, and nobles seek fame.

The same should be true for Zhao Guogong.

If it spreads, Duke Zhao's reputation will be greatly damaged, and he will be ridiculed in the court in the future. "

Zhao Derong laughed and was not worried at all.

Changsun Huan didn't look very good, but he felt that what Zhao Derong said was reasonable. It didn't matter to the small businessman. If a big businessman wanted to occupy his property, he would definitely make a big fuss.

He was now thinking in his mind whether this could be a scam because his father told him when he came back.

Their family has some issues with King Ji now, and King Ji will definitely find a way to retaliate against them, even though King Ji has already reported the officials of the Changsun family in the court.

But there is no guarantee that there will be no other means.

His father told him to be careful when going out. The more advantageous he is, the less likely he is to do something, and he will be easily deceived.

"Since Captain Zhao is afraid of being spied on his family property, why doesn't he join Prince Ji's First Chamber of Commerce? The First Chamber of Commerce takes great care of its members.

Regardless of whether they are local officials or nobles, as long as they are oppressed, Prince Ji's Mansion will come forward to defend them. Isn't this great? "

Changsun Huan asked his doubts. The business environment of Datang has become better and better in recent years because King Ji's First Chamber of Commerce is protecting their members.

If these businessmen become bolder, their business will grow bigger and bigger.

“To be honest, Zhao is already a member of the Datang Chamber of Commerce, and most of our Jinhai members are members of the Datang Chamber of Commerce.

But members also have inconveniences. Changsun Langjun should know that businessmen are willing to do anything for profit.

It is better to have one more friend than one more enemy.

Moreover, Changsun Langjun seemed to have misunderstood that Zhao was not looking for a backer, but a friend.

Everyone's relationship is different, and the information they get is also different. Zhao will benefit from this, so why not do it. "

Zhao Derong said it very straightforwardly, he is not looking for you to be his backer.

Seeing Changsun Huan deep in thought, Zhao Derong shook his head.

"Mr. Zhangsun, Zhao is telling you this today because you are a sensible person. Those people outside are just seeking money.

In other words, they all follow Zhao to seek wealth, but you are different. If something happens, the eldest grandson can solve the problem. It's that simple.

I won’t hide it from you, Zhao is the fourth eldest child in the family, and the current family business was all built by Zhao himself.

The family business in the Zhao clan will be inherited by my eldest brother's eldest son. Zhao doesn't want to live in confusion and wait to die.

So Zhao followed him on the boat when he was young. Perhaps Changsun Langjun didn't know how dangerous it was on the sea.

In those years, Zhao could really be said to have been through life and death, surrounded by dangers, and that was how he got his current net worth.

People in the clan who looked down upon Zhao in the past are now full of admiration. That's because Zhao has such a big family fortune without relying on them.

Zhao has a mansion of several hundred acres in Annan, where he keeps dozens of beauties collected from his family, all of which he managed with the help of Zhao.

People live only one life and one autumn, and some people choose to do nothing, forget all living beings, achieve nothing, and finally leave this world full of bitterness.

But some people choose to make their lives magnificent and admired by others.

Over the years, Zhao has understood a truth. If you want to be valued by others, you must first think highly of yourself.

Dare to fight and do it. Opportunities will not be waiting for you there. You have to create them by yourself.

Zhao asked me to call you Brother Changsun.

There will be times when the wind blows and the waves break, and the clouds and sails are hung directly to help the sea. "

"There will be times when strong winds and waves break, and sails will sail across the sea?" Changsun Huan was shocked by Zhao Derong's impassioned words.

He repeated Zhao Derong's last words like a nightmare, especially the last sentence "Opportunities will not be waiting for you there, you have to create them yourself." It echoed in his heart.

He always believed that his talents were not appreciated, and that he was better than Changsun Chong, but he was only the second son and did not have the opportunity to show himself.

What Zhao Derong said resonated with him. He also had no right to inherit the family business. Why could Zhao Derong be able to earn a share of the family business on his own?

No matter how hard you work on your family business, it will not be yours in the future.

He himself has been working hard for Changsun Chong.

In Zhao Guogong's mansion, he had more than a dozen brothers, and he was just one of them.

Although his father recommended him to be the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple this time, his position was low and he did not have much real power.

After Zhao Derong saw Zhang Sun Huan's expression, he opened his mouth and continued:

"Okay, I have talked so much with Mr. Changsun today. I just want to make friends. As for whether Mr. Changsun joins or not, it really doesn't matter to Zhao.

Zhao is a member of the First Chamber of Commerce of the Tang Dynasty, so at least nothing will happen to him in normal transactions. "

Zhao Derong looked indifferent.

"Haha, Captain Zhao is right, everyone is looking for money, and you can't do nothing in life, you have to work hard on your own.

However, Captain Zhao said that he is a member of the First Chamber of Commerce of the Tang Dynasty and is backed by King Ji. Doesn’t Captain Zhao know that King Ji has had a dispute with my eldest son’s family recently? "

Changsun Huan chuckled.

"Celebrating a festival? What does it have to do with Zhao and me? You also said that Zhao just asked for money. Ji Wang's family has a lot of money and he didn't give Zhao a penny.

Who he has a quarrel with is King Ji's own business. When it comes to membership, 90% of the merchants in the world are members of the No. 1 Chamber of Commerce in the world.

Could it be said that he could still have a feud with Zhao Guogong?

Zhao is just a businessman, an ordinary businessman. Zhao doesn’t care about the affairs of the higher-ups and is not qualified to participate.

Businessmen pursue profit, and Zhao also pursues profit. As long as he makes money, Zhao is willing to do anything and do it with anyone. "

Zhao Derong said disdainfully, his face full of disapproval.
