I only heard old man Joe say:
"In it, there are almost all the most secret hobbies of the rich! Their preferences, their living habits, what they like to eat, what to play, what they like to do, what they hate. What are taboos... There are all of them here! It's all me It was collected over eight years!" He said slowly: "Don't underestimate this information, in a sense, I even think this information is more important than the value of this place!"
My heart started to pound wildly!
Sun Tzu's Art of War has a saying: Know yourself and know the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles!
This sentence applies to the battlefield, and of course it also applies to the mall!
Just imagine, when you are in the shopping mall, before you deal with your business opponents or business partners, of course you have to find out all the information of the other party in advance! Regardless of the size, the more detailed the appointment!
And at this time, you can have a piece of information in your hand...the information contains all your opponents and all your partners. All the information about your enemies, your friends, and the big shots you want to befriend and curry favor with!
What do they like, what do they dislike, what brand of clothes they like, what kind of food they like to eat, how mature their steak is, what kind of woman they like, long hair or short hair, hot or gentle. Or what kind of tea do they like to drink, are they cunning or treacherous, are they emphasizing friendship or being good at changing... What sad things have happened in the past, what is the most important thing in their hearts...
All of these, you are at your fingertips... You can familiarize yourself with all the human and habitual weaknesses of your opponents! You can see the opportunity to attack the opponent! And your friend, you are also familiar with all his preferences! The person you want to curry favor with, you can also do what you like... Everything about the other party is transparent to you! What would it be like then
Such a situation, in my opinion, is almost equivalent to playing a computer game, but you have a cheating device in your hand! !
The value of this information is almost inestimable!
At the moment when I lost my mind, Qiao Laohu suddenly smiled: "Chen Yang, you are finally tempted."
I took a deep breath and looked at him calmly: "Yes, I am indeed tempted! This kind of thing is almost priceless. Who wouldn't be tempted by it? This may be a unparalleled weapon that can make people roam the mall Already!"
"It is indeed a unparalleled sharp weapon." Qiaoqiao's father smiled, and then he stood up suddenly, and pushed it with a big hand!
After a few clatters, those on the table were fine, those plates were all pushed away by him and fell to the ground. Then he calmly and slowly pushed the thing in front of me.
His voice seemed to be tempting me like a devil: "As long as you agree to my conditions, as long as you nod your head, these... are all yours!"
I strongly resisted the urge to grab the thing in front of me. At this moment, I took a deep breath and repeatedly warned myself to be calm!
Be calm!
The blood in my brain slowly fell, and I suddenly smiled...
I smiled, and then moved my hand away from the table instead, and put it on my cross-legged knee. I looked at Qiao Qiao's father with a calm expression on my face: "Being tempted is tempting, but I'm afraid this condition is also the same. It’s frighteningly expensive. You might as well talk about it first to see if I can afford it. If I can’t afford it, it’s meaningless if I can’t afford it, no matter how good it is.”
Talking and laughing, I even picked up a pair of chopsticks on the table, pointed to the ceiling, and smiled more easily: "I also like the moon in the sky. It's a good thing. But I can't buy it and tie it at home as a pawn." Use fluorescent lights."
Seeing that my heart was already moving, I suddenly calmed down inexplicably, and Qiao Qiao's father's eyes flashed an imperceptible disappointment.
He stared at me silently for a while, then sat back slowly.
The two of us stared at each other... I suddenly remembered a metaphor that I didn't know that was written in that novel: it was like a leopard on land and a seal looking at each other.
a long time…
"I'm getting old." Jojo's father finally said.
I said nothing, waiting for his next words.
"I'm fifty-eight years old this year." Qiao Qiao's father pondered for a while, looking into my eyes, at this moment, his eyes were very peaceful.
"When I was young, I was too obsessed with my career and neglected my family. I didn't give birth to a daughter like Qiao Qiao until I was in my thirties." Qiao Qiao's father's face suddenly aged a little at this moment.
To be honest, he was well cared for, he didn't look like an old man in his sixties at all, but he looked like a middle-aged man.
"Although I have paid attention to my body these past few years, I know my own affairs. I understand very well that I am still old after all." Qiao Qiao's father shook his head and said slowly: "Sometimes, I can't help thinking , who will pass on such a large family fortune that I have won in the future?"
He seemed to glance at me intentionally or unintentionally, which made me a little uncomfortable.
"Qiao Qiao is my only daughter. I only became a father when I was almost thirty-six years old. It is a middle-aged child, so I attach great importance to and dote on this only daughter. It can be said that as long as I I can do it, no matter what she wants, I will try my best to satisfy her! But I also understand that Qiao Qiao has been a reckless girl since she was a child. Her temperament is not suitable for taking over my career. I have also tried to think Cultivate her. But I know that the road to shopping malls is difficult and hard. I have been intriguing all my life, and I don't want my daughter to have to work hard for the rest of my life." He shook his head vigorously, as if a little helpless, but also a little relieved: " Sometimes, I can see Qiao Qiao’s heartless life, but she is very happy. I don’t know whether to be happy for her or worry about myself.”
As Qiao Qiao's father said, he suddenly picked up a jug from the ground, which he had just swung to the ground. When he picked it up, half of the wine in it had been spilled, and the dark red wine was stained red. Jojo's father didn't care about the Persian handmade carpet on the ground. He picked it up, and instead of using a cup, he brought the pot to his mouth and took a sip.
Bright red wine juice flowed out from the corner of his mouth, staining his white shirt like fresh blood!
He drank too much, and when he put down the flagon, he was a little out of breath, and there was a morbid flush on his face, and then he smiled wryly: "Boy, do you know? Sometimes, I can't help but ask myself ... Old Qiao, old Qiao! You have worked so hard all your life to earn such a large family fortune, who will inherit this career from now on?"
I didn't speak, but he already shook his head, and said again: "Sometimes, I can't help but think, I might as well sell all these businesses, and I can get hundreds of millions of family wealth in exchange for this money, which is enough for me. Even if it is the most extravagant life, it is enough for her to live a happy life for the rest of her life."
I still don't speak.
Qiao Qiao's father suddenly leaned over, his hands resting on the table. His eyes suddenly became fierce again! It was as if at this moment, he suddenly changed from that old father to that strong man in the shopping mall!
"But, I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled!!" As if shouting, he stared at me firmly: "Chen Yang, you are also a man! Do you understand?"
Looking at the sharp eyes on the opposite side, which were full of unwilling shouts, I let out a long breath, and also met his eyes, sincerely said: "I understand you!"
I really understand!
As a man, I suddenly felt the contradiction and sorrow in Qiao Qiao's father's heart at this moment.
Indeed, as a father, he has already done much better than those other heroes! He was so pure and simple that he hoped that his daughter could live a life without any worries! I hope that my daughter can stay away from those troublesome careers of intrigue.
And in the same way, thinking that Sorin is still trying his best to pass the family business to his daughter, one can understand how precious old man Qiao is.
but! As a man, he is contradictory again! It is not reconciled!
A person like him has been in trouble for a lifetime, has made such a big career, and achieved such an achievement! As the founder of this business empire, how could he be willing to see the career he created after a lifetime of hard work disappear in the blink of an eye after a hundred years? !
Who changed it! And I can be willing that the things I have worked so hard for all my life will disappear in an instant! Even if he died, he would never see that day, but he still couldn't bear it in his heart!
"Money? I already have enough. Status? I already have it. Power, I can get a lot if I want it! I don't lack anything now. If you ask me my biggest wish... what I hope is that I can There is an heir!" He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said, "I don't want the things I have worked so hard all my life to turn into nothing! I hope that there will be someone with my blood flowing in them who will inherit my career! Don't let my life's hard work go to waste!"
I sigh.
It seems that no matter whether it is a commoner or a hero, very few people can escape this kind of knot.
Old Sorin is so smart, as Mr. Yang Er is. Now, Qiao old fox, it's the same.
I suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but said: "You...Mr. Qiao, why didn't you have another one?"
After saying this, I saw old man Qiao's face change, and I immediately realized: It's broken! How dare I ask such a question... Could it be that Old Fox Joe... Uh...
