(Updated a chapter before departure, in the next few days... not sure.)
After Qin Keqiang finished talking about Shiqimen's rise plan, Zhu Tong was secretly shocked.
Over the past few years, Shiqimen has quietly developed a force near Shanghai. Most of its disciples are hiding in the taxi industry in cities in the Yangtze River Delta economic circle. Its well-informed information, wide distribution, and large number of personnel are beyond the reach of any figure in the world.
Imagine.
No wonder they knew their whereabouts so accurately. It turned out that Shiqimen disciples were secretly monitoring him. Zhu Tong originally had a good impression of Qin Keqiang, but at this moment, he was a little afraid of this person.
Small liars deceive the world and care most about thoughtful people. It seems that Qin Keqiang's scheme is no simpler than Lan Zhanjiang's.
Up to now, Shiqimen has three taxi companies. More than 500 taxis are running in the most economically developed areas in China. There are more than 100 Shiqimen disciples and more than 400 young people who are undergoing tests. They are a group of
What a huge force it is?
Qin Keqiang seems very relaxed when it comes to running and managing such a large company.
The logistics industry is an industry that Shi Qimen has long been optimistic about. Qin Keqiang has been very detailed about his plans to enter this industry; he has even ambushed insiders in several competitors.
After Lan Zhanjiang asked for a few details, he nodded and said: "I am also very optimistic about this business, but you will be under great pressure in the short term. At this stage, the cost of logistics from the coast to the inland is very high, and it is impossible to make money without overloading.
How much is it? A few years ago, Wang Han, the popular fourth-level god, started to get involved in the logistics industry. By the end of last year, the start-up capital we provided had almost been squandered. Alas! Wang Han is old, and he can’t fight for prosperity.
I lost to others, but I was too thief, and even stole my own goods and resold them. In a few days, I went to see Siren, transferred the company to Shiqi's name, canceled all debts, and gave them another sum of money. Theirs
The construction of the transportation network is still possible, and those lines can make money. Donghai Investment will add a batch of good vehicles to you. When you stabilize the situation, you will acquire a logistics center near Shanghai. This will have a foundation. In the next few years
, with the development of economic activities, the scale of the logistics industry will expand rapidly, and the concentration of the industry will further increase. Doing it in Shiqimen will definitely be better than doing it in Honghuo."
"It may cost a lot of money to build a logistics center." Qin Keqiang frowned; "Brother Lan, even including Shiqimen's overseas industries, we can't afford any logistics company near Shanghai. They do
Logistics is a cover, enclosure is real.”
"It's not a secret. You can't do logistics without your own logistics center. Domestic counterparts are greedy for small profits, so Shiqimen has the opportunity. Don't be anxious and pay attention to attracting talents. Money is not an issue, it depends on him.
" Lan Zhanjiang unscrewed the cork and poured a glass for Zhu Tong; "If Master Zhu agrees, I have no objection."
"Don't talk about me, Zhu Men has no money."
Lan Zhanjiang and Qin Keqiang both smiled in response to Zhu Tong's words, which made the little liar tremble in his heart. They must know something about themselves, and what are those things?
"US dollars, Euros, RMB, what exactly is money? Zhu Tong, have you ever thought about it?"
"What is money?" Zhu Tong was pondering, and was choked by Lan Zhanjiang's sudden question; in recent years, the little liar had a stable business and made and spent money easily, but he had never thought about such a question.
"Like this yacht, money is also a commodity. In the past, money was gold and silver. If you look closely, it is the meaning given to them by humans. In a sense, money in today's society is just a concept and
A piece of paper is not as real as this yacht. For most people, money is food, a house, a car, a beautiful woman, and the qualifications for all kinds of enjoyment; for some people, money is just a symbol, the same as watches and jewelry.
The bustle of the world is all for profit; the bustle of the world is all for profit. Everyone wants to own it, because money represents rights and interests."
Lan Zhanjiang took out a piece of paper money, tore it into several pieces and threw it into the sea: "Look, it's just an ordinary piece of paper. It's useless if you tear it off; their power is given by humans, and the pieces of paper and patterns are ours."
A commitment recognized by everyone is a symbol of value recognized by mankind. A few decades ago, if you took a sum of RMB to Europe, you would starve to death because they did not recognize its value. Now everyone is optimistic about the RMB and thinks it is
It will appreciate in value, why?”
Zhu Tong didn't speak. The simple truth was unfamiliar to him.
"Does recognition mean that it is indeed valuable? Failure to recognize it means that it is worthless? Haha, this question is very interesting. Who gives who the right to recognize or not to recognize? Many people need to participate. This is also a game,
The game of money is the most advanced game of mankind. Zhu Tong, Keqiang, these problems are very troublesome; but there are more troublesome things in the world; such as silver guns, their underground banks used to launder mainland black money out of the country.
They have to take a lot of risks; because they have to accept some harsh conditions if they want to exchange this commodity for other commodities. It is different now. There is more money outside wanting to enter the mainland. The government has implemented financial controls, and large amounts
It is more difficult to convert US dollars or euros into domestic RMB, so silver guns have become the choice of many people. Some people use the channels of silver guns to secretly invest the money in the mainland stock market and real estate market.
"There is another kind, such as the cooperation between Ikeda Kazuo and Tian Xuyang; to a certain extent, they are taking a legal route. If mainland banks want to develop, raise funds, and list overseas, they must have international strategic investors to join us. We
What Wada Xuyang is fighting for is the qualification to cooperate with Huashang Bank. Silver Gun has expanded rapidly recently, and their influence seems to be everywhere. I suspect that the matter of the Bamboo Taoist Priest has some connection with Silver Gun. Under normal circumstances,
It is impossible for Master Yu Xuan to be so courageous, especially when Yilan is also present."
"Brother Lan, you mean, Bamboo Taoist Priest..." Zhu Tong knew very well about Fanjing Mountain in his heart, and knew that it was a challenge within the Taoist sect against the Bamboo Taoist Priest; listening to what Lan Zhanjiang meant, Yu Xuan was behind the scenes
, it is Yin Qiang who is supporting. Is Lan Zhanjiang very clean? The little liar pretended to be surprised; I have been in contact with Xie Jing and Zhu Tong of Yin Qiang, and I don’t feel like that kind of person.
"Zhu Tong, our people have spies in Fanjing Mountain. Although we don't know the details, the general process will not be much different. The bamboo Taoist is a blessing in disguise. Master Yu Xuan did work with the Taoist Sect Elder Huo to force the bamboo Taoist to retire.
"Qin Keqiang doesn't talk much, but he doesn't talk nonsense.
"Yu Xuan organized a grand ceremony for the Bamboo Taoist priest to ascend to immortality. It cost at least tens of millions to carry out the ceremony all the way from Fanjing Mountain to Wudang Mountain. The financial resources that the Bamboo Taoist priest left to the Taoist sect was not very small, but it was impossible to spend such a sum at once.
Use the extra cash to squander it. In this period, Master Yu Xuan and Silver Spear’s Xie Jing are very close.”
Lan Zhanjiang did not say that Xie Jing provided funds to Yu Xuan, but Zhu Tong could imagine that Master Yu Xuan was trying to do both; without the acquiescence or hint of the hermit, Master Yu Xuan did not dare to take action against the bamboo Taoist priest rashly; after all, the third-grade
Blue Stone and Rank 8 Orchid have always been strong supporters of Bamboo Taoist Priest. Without the funds provided by Silver Spear, Rank 2 Taoist Sect would not have the power to make such a big noise.
"Oh, Yu Xuan turns out to be so powerful." Zhu Tong admired sincerely.
"This is not good. You can't touch the money from the silver gun. Yu Xuan may be involved in right and wrong. It's my fault too. I didn't explain the seriousness of it to Yu Xuan clearly."
"Brother Lan, what are you going to do?" Zhu Tong understood somewhat. Lan Zhanjiang and Qin Keqiang returned to Shanghai so quickly because they wanted to deal with Silver Spear.
"This is all we can do for the time being. Let Master Yuxuan stabilize his position first before making any calculations. If we interfere now, the Taoist sect will definitely split due to internal conflicts. The bamboo Taoist priest has a calm temperament, while Master Yuxuan is enterprising and capable; perhaps
, Daozong, under the leadership of Yu Xuan, can really find a new path." Lan Zhanjiang did not answer directly, but changed the topic and reminded: "Zhu Tong, you must pay special attention to the fact that the owner of Xiaoyun Villa occupies many Taoist temples; if
If the price is right, return it to Daozong. This will be good for the relationship between your two families. You have an absolute advantage in terms of price. Yu Xuan has just taken over Daozong. What he wants is results, and he will not offend Jianghu at this time.
Congratulations to the door."
"So, we can give him a break?" Zhu Tong asked Lan Zhanjiang with a smile.
"The silver gun is rich, and Yu Xuan's bid must be higher than the golden Buddha." Lan Zhanjiang raised his glass and nodded, his face expressionless; Qin Keqiang had a smile on his face.
Zhu Yun, the owner of Xiaoyun Village, does own more than a dozen Taoist temples, but the Taoist temples are obviously not as popular as Buddhist temples; that is, several Tanah Lot Temples and Mazu Temples on the southern coast can still make some money. If the price is right, let Zhu Yun
It's not a big problem for Yun to give up these dojos.
So, the three of them drank quietly, admired the moon, and let the yacht float on the sea. Even though they didn't talk much, Zhu Tong felt a rare sense of relaxation and ease. At this moment, the world seemed far away from him. The two people on the yacht were very interested in each other.
The attitudes of Shanghai and Jianghu are infecting the little liars.
On the surface, Lan Zhanjiang feels heavy, free and easy, and very safe. There is a light and distant temperament in his behavior. In the prosperous and vain Shanghai, he is more like a bystander. Qin Keqiang is a real bystander in the world of rivers and lakes. The two of them
There is one thing in common: they are both solid and patient in doing things; this is the weakness of the little liar.
The sea fog came almost suddenly, and the stars and moon were isolated from the thick fog.
It was the first time that Zhu Tong encountered such a heavy sea fog, and he felt quite panicked.
"It doesn't matter. This yacht has an advanced radar system. No matter how thick the fog is, you won't be afraid." Qin Keqiang's voice floated out from the thick fog, and strong laser light waves flashed on both sides of the yacht.
In the middle of the night, the yacht returned to the dock. Before parting, Lan Zhanjiang warned: "Everyone is very sad about the accident of the Bamboo Taoist. Yilan is currently undergoing treatment abroad and will not come back in the short term. There will be a period of discomfort in the world, Tao Zong and the Golden Buddha."
The relationship will be repositioned. Zhumen, Meiyuan, and Lanhua should not get involved for the time being. Be careful and keep in touch."
The next morning, when Zhu Tong rushed to Suixueyuan, he was still calculating that 1%. If it was 10 billion, 1% would be 100 million!
But when he saw Ye'er painting peacefully in front of the water pavilion, Zhu Tong suddenly woke up and 1% flew out of the sky.
Lan Zhanjiang is nakedly tempting himself with money. To participate in such a big business, you need strong capital and a deep foundation. To earn such money, you are destined to offend the big shots. You must first think about whether you are qualified to enjoy it.
Qin Ke's behavior of forcing the yacht is also very strange. Is it partly for his own sake?
Third-grade blue stone, the strange god of wealth in the world; he is doing such a big financial business, but he still pays so much attention to the world. Why? Although Lan Zhanjiang is young, he looks experienced and steady. Zhu Tong can't see through him. His hands seem to be
There is always an unpredictable trump card. The deeper the contact with him, the stronger this feeling becomes; Zhu Tong does not want to be anyone's pawn.
In the following days, Zhu Tong lived a very peaceful life. The weather got warmer and spring came early in East China. On weekends, he and Ye Er often drove around Shanghai to find beautiful places to hang out. Ye Er painted while Zhu Tong sat reading a book.
Occasionally, I take out two flutes and dance them a few times, which can actually create a bit of fun.
Ye'er said: "It sounds much better. Look, Mao Tou is not scared anymore." I don't know whether it was a compliment or a sarcasm. In the past, every time the puppy Yin Yang heard the sound of Zhu Tong's flute, he would tremble with fear. Zhu Tong carefully observed
Only then did he discover that the sound of his flute could actually excite the worms in his yin and yang body.
The world is still excited about the emergence of Bamboo Taoist priests; Master Yu Xuan has made enough noise, and with the help of all-round publicity for Bamboo Taoist priests, the image of the second-grade Taoist sect has changed from the previous indifferent and calm to dazzling. Even the secular world
Information about Bamboo Taoist Priest also began to appear in the media and on the Internet. He was regarded by Taoism as the first person in Taoism for hundreds of years. Bits and pieces of his past words were compiled into a book and gradually began to be circulated among the people.
The Taoist thoughts of the Bamboo Taoist are quite in conflict with modern civilization. The clever thing about Master Yu Xuan is that he strengthened the environmental protection ideas of the Bamboo Taoist and launched a Landscape Refreshing Foundation in the name of the Bamboo Taoist to devote himself to the cause of environmental protection.
Confronting the illusion of Buddhism to save all sentient beings is the part of facing secular society.
Facing the Jianghu, Master Yu Xuan used two methods. One is to open up the Wudang Sword Altar. As long as he is a fellow martial artist, regardless of his sect, he can go to the Wudang Mountain Taoist Sword Altar to observe and communicate. Master Yu Xuan said: Today's Jianghu
We should abandon the idea of competing for strength and ruthlessness, and all martial arts should focus on cultivating the mind and body. Only in this way can we gain recognition from the world and adapt to the changes of the times.
Master Yu Xuan's second move is also aimed at the first-grade Golden Buddha. All Taoist temples belonging to the Taoist sect will uniformly enshrine the statue of Emperor Zhenwu in the hall, downplaying the many gods. The Bamboo Taoist priest is vaguely said to be the golden statue of Emperor Zhenwu.
The body also occupies a position in the side hall of the Taoist temple.
In order to promote this trick, Daozong vigorously strengthened the three gods of Zhenwu Earth: one, the water god, two the symbol of the interaction of yin and yang to evolve all things; the third is the god of command.
Needless to say about the Water God, nowadays the environment is deteriorating and many places are short of water. The characteristics of the Zhenwu Water God are aimed at believers in these places.
There is also a basis for the interaction of yin and yang to evolve all things. Yu Xuan found ancient classics to prove this point, saying: "Guan Guan Sui Dove, in the continent of the river, is a graceful lady. A gentleman likes to fight. The male never lives alone, the female never lives alone, Xuanwu
The turtle and the snake support each other in order to understand that the male and female are inseparable from each other after all.”
The God of Si Ming represents this longevity. He is restrained and positive. He does not rely on the mysterious and incomprehensible karma of Buddhism, but emphasizes self-care and a comfortable mood.
For the masses of believers, Daozong has launched a set of simple yin and yang health-preserving exercises; for believers who pay a lot of money, Daozong will open up advanced yin and yang dual cultivation exercises, as well as inner alchemy methods that compete with the secret cultivation exercises of the Golden Buddha.
As a result, the popularity of the second-level Taoist sect increased greatly, and there was an endless stream of people from all walks of life who went to Wudang Mountain to participate in the ceremony of the Bamboo Taoist Immortal Zhaijing. It was worth a visit just to observe the Wudang Sword Altar.
Fatty Han from the Liuhe Sect took four of his disciples to attend the grand gathering in Wudang Mountain. After returning, he told Zhu Tong that the second-grade Dao Sect had really opened up the sword world, and everyone could freely communicate with the Dao Sect disciples.
Jiang Xiaoyu was doing well. He took this opportunity to make friends with other people in the world, and made the treasure hunting alliance prosperous. Even Fatty Han was almost bewitched by his charm. Gradually, he became known as Young Master Jiang in the world, saying,
The one is Jiang Xiaoyu.
Fatty Han was just worried that with so many people being dragged into the water by Jiang Xiaoyu, how would the wealth in the treasure be divided?
Although Zhu Tong didn't care about this, he was quite happy as more and more rumors spread.
Whether it's the legend of the treasure, the big move of the second-level Taoist sect, or the treasure hunting alliance organized by Jiang Xiaoyu, they are all distracting everyone's attention from him. However, Zhu Tong thinks that after Master Yu Xuan completes this set, he will definitely
Come to Shanghai and devote yourself to the "great cause" of searching for treasures; the money for the silver gun will not be given in vain, and sooner or later, the money you borrowed from others will have to be repaid.
The little liar made a preliminary estimate that just the first few actions would cost the second-grade Taoist sect tens of millions; the later costs may be in the hundreds of millions. Transforming numerous Taoist temples is really a big project.
In the past years, Taoist Bamboo was a mediocre person. There seemed to be no financial experts in the Taoist sect and he did not have much savings. Taoist Bamboo did not even have a Taoist temple of his own.
But Master Yu Xuan did a good job indeed; from another channel, Zhu Tong learned about the support of the third-grade blue stone to Daozong; the first donation of 10 million yuan to the Shanshui Fresh Foundation was made by Lan Zhanjiang in public at Wudang Mountain
.Whether he meant to compete with Yin Qian or not, this generous gift from Lan Zhanjiang was an acknowledgment of Master Yu Xuan.
Then, the eight-level Jianghu also sent gifts to the Shanshui Fresh Foundation or the second-level Dao Sect; some sects that did not belong to the eight Jianghu sects were also quite generous. For example, Xie Jing gave the Silver Spear to the Shanshui Fresh Foundation.
There was also a check for 10 million; the representative of the one-armed pirate from Qianmen sent a congratulatory gift of 3 million; Eight-Rank Orchid and Six-Rank Meiyuan jointly donated five million. Zhu Tong knew that it must be Orchid and Mei Lanting who paid.
Not much money.
Master Kongmu, the great monk of the first-level Golden Buddha, arrived at the Wudang Sword Altar. Although the fifth-level Qingyang and the fourth-level Honghuo had always been alienated from the second-level Taoist sect, they also sent people to congratulate them; even Qin Keqiang also expressed his gratitude to the Bamboo Taoist Master on behalf of Shiqi Sect.
due respect.
As the head of the seventh-grade Zhu Sect, Zhu Tong could not turn a blind eye to these matters. After discussing with his second senior brother Zhu Yun and his uncle Zhu Huang, he entrusted his uncles Zhu Huang and Zhu Yun to rush to Wudang Mountain to send a gift to Master Yu Xuan.
A generous gift: Yangzhou Seven Stars Temple.
This was a decision that Zhu Tong made after careful consideration. The second-grade Taoist sect needed a monastery with a name called Shengsheng near Shanghai; the Tianxing Temple in Suzhou was small in scale and had a shallow historical foundation. Although the Seven Stars Temple in Yangzhou was dilapidated, it had a long history.
Inheritance. With a little renovation, a grand Taoist temple can be built.
Another reason is that Zhu Tong does not want the southeast center of Dao Sect to be too close to him, so Yangzhou Seven Stars Temple is the best choice.
A lively month has passed, and the Dengxian Zhai Jiao ceremony held for the Bamboo Taoist priests in Wudang Mountain has come to an end. Master Yu Xuan sent a letter to the children to express his gratitude for receiving the Yangzhou Seven Stars Temple.
In Shanghai, Zhu Tong, who stayed out of the incident, had an accident.
