When the seven people walked in with their own thoughts, they immediately noticed different changes in Li Zhen at close range.
Gaunt. Weakened.
It can even be said to be... weak.
"Dean Li."
"Hello, Dean Li."
"Dean Li, just come back."
“…”
Everyone greeted Li Zhen one by one, and Li Zhen just smiled and nodded in response. I don't want to say too much, my throat really hurts.
After the seven people sat down in order, Jia Liping and Ding Zhenzhen each stood behind Li Zhen.
Li Zhen closed his eyes and lay in the soft chair, breathing calmed down.
Everyone waited for Li Zhen to speak. After waiting for a long time, they found that Li Zhen was lying on a soft chair and fell asleep.
They couldn't help but look at each other.
Liu Jianye wanted to say something, but Jia Liping quickly made a gesture of silence, and everyone quickly suppressed it. Sitting quietly on their respective sofas, each pondering their own thoughts.
Ding Zhenzhen gently took a blanket and covered Li Zhen, and then stood firmly behind Li Zhen.
The Ten Thousand Years Financial Group, which can now be said to dominate the entire Kyushu, and seven hidden super bosses who respectively control the economy, are sitting silently in the room. Dare not speak, waiting for the young man to wake up. No one dared to make a noise, no one dared to urge.
No one dared to show any anxious expression.
Even if there are hundreds of millions of dollars worth of business waiting to be discussed immediately after leaving here, he does not dare to show any expression of wanting to leave.
For Li Zhen, in addition to respect from the heart. There are deeper fears.
This wait is two hours.
In the quiet office, there was only the sound of burning coal from the stove and Li Zhen's slight but steady snoring.
——
At this time, a convoy of steam cars came quickly and entered Laoshan from the road in Quancheng County.
At Dafengtai, heavy troops were deployed to investigate and personally interrogate who was coming.
"My name is Xun Shifei. Junior student has returned to Dongzhou? I want to see him."
"Xun Shifei? The former prince? Please wait here for a moment. I want to report to the Kyushu Academy of Sciences. Please make the decision."
Xun Shifei jumped out of the steam car, his face full of anxiety: "Go and report it quickly. I have something urgent to talk to my junior. You can't afford to delay something important."
The soldier suddenly lost his temper: "I can't bear it? There is nothing I can't bear. Du Taiping, the emperor of the Xinyuan Kingdom, also came just now. He has been waiting here for more than half an hour. What's so great about you?"
Xun Shifei's pupils shrank: "Du Taiping? Du Taiping has the courage to come to Laoshan?"
The soldier sneered: "Wait."
“…”
Kyushu Academy of Sciences, the corridor outside Li Zhen's office is crowded with people. Crowds of people.
Everyone lowered their voices and did not dare to make any noise.
Everyone is waiting for Li Zhen to summon. The people who come here are almost the most powerful people in the entire Kyushu.
Du Taiping sat on a chair in the corner, constantly looking at the pocket watch in his hand, sweating profusely: "How long will it take before you see me?"
Fang Hanxian said politely: "Prince Du, please wait patiently. I don't know what's going on inside now. When the people inside come out, I will report it to Master Li."
Du Taiping sighed: "The people from the consortium have been in there for several hours, and there is no news at all. Just knock on the door and go in to see if something happened?"
Fang Hanxian smiled and said: "Please wait patiently. It's not convenient for me to disturb you at this time."
At this moment, someone came over and whispered a few words in Fang Hanxian's ear. Fang Hanxian was surprised: "Xun Shifei is here too? Well... we can let him in."
When Du Taiping heard this, he narrowed his eyes and sat there silently, thinking in his mind.
He just thought it was incredible enough that he secretly came to Dongzhou to meet Li Zhen. The emperor of his own country. I didn't expect to have to queue up when I got here, which made Du Taiping feel very embarrassed.
What's even more incredible is that Xun Shifei, the man behind the Taiping Regiment, also came secretly.
It seems that it's not just me who can let go of face...
After a while, anxious Xun Shifei walked into the corridor. When Xun Shifei saw the crowd of heads in the corridor and everyone talking in lowered voices, his eyes were filled with astonishment.
The people here are either rich or noble, and they are all people who stomp their feet and shake the ground.
Feng Naien, governor of Xiangdongzhou, and Liu Zehui, two officials from Dongzhou, huddled in the corner here, not daring to speak.
Xun Shifei saw the people from the court. He didn't expect this person to be a current director who rarely appeared in public. An official position similar to that of prime minister. Jiang Xianfeng, Director Jiang.
The moment he saw Jiang Xianfeng, Xun Shifei knew that his father had also called for people to come to Dongzhou to meet Li Zhen and discuss important matters.
Xun Shifei didn't dare to go crazy anymore. In a blink of an eye, he saw Du Taiping sitting there and looking at him. The two looked at each other, and each saw embarrassment in their eyes.
hehe.
They are inseparable from each other, and no one can understand the various tastes.
The former prince and Du Taiping's apparent political rivals hid the truth from Du Taiping, and secretly founded the Taiping Regiment. Xun Shifei thought he was yin enough.
As a result, Du Taiping became more negative. On the surface, he supported the eighth prince, but secretly he formed a pirate and overturned the governor of Beizhou. The Xinyuan Kingdom was actually established.
Two people are shady to each other. As a result, the eighth prince Xun Shitian and Zhenger Bajing became the victims of "sacrifice to heaven".
Call them enemies, but in fact they just have different paths. They are pretending to be enemies on the surface and developing their own paths secretly.
If you say they are friends, they are definitely not friends.
It's a very complicated relationship, so it's awkward.
Xun Shifei walked up to Du Taiping and laughed: "Master Du, it's been a long time."
"Haha, long time no see, Prince."
The two shook hands. The expression is weird, I don’t know what to say...
The Taiping Corps is no longer a secret now.
Du Taiping of Xinyuan Kingdom also completely came to the stage from behind the scenes. There are no secrets anymore. So when everyone saw the two of them meeting, everyone who knew the cause and effect felt inexplicably want to laugh. These two drama queens!
When the two were awkward with each other, the representative of the imperial court, Director Jiang, came over.
He smiled and greeted the two of them: "Hey, General Administration Department Du."
Du Taiping shook hands with Jiang Xianfeng awkwardly.
Jiang Xianfeng looked at Xun Shifei with contempt in his eyes: "Haha, Prince."
"Uh... haha."
The three of them sat together. Even more embarrassing.
One was the former boss of the Imperial Supervisory Office, and the other was the former prince of Kyushu. And now, one has become the emperor of the New Yuan Kingdom after the Beizhou rebellion. One became the leader of the Taiping Regiment in charge of Wang Sandao's troops. Plus a prime minister who is still loyal to the court.
When everyone saw this scene, they wanted to laugh even more.
While I wanted to laugh, I also sighed secretly in my heart. The only person who can bring these three forces together and wait is Li Zhen, right
An hour later, Xun Shifei couldn't wait any longer: "Why hasn't there been any movement?"
Old God Du Taiping said calmly: "The prince is so impatient. I have been waiting for four hours. Why are you so anxious?"
Xun Shifei no longer had time to fight with them, and muttered irritably: "The navy of Yamato Kingdom has already exchanged fire with me in Huangpu County. We are in such urgent need that we don't dare to waste even a minute."
Du Taiping sighed: "Our Xinyuan Kingdom has almost been defeated by the Rakshasa Kingdom, and I haven't said anything yet."
Jiang Xianfeng lowered his head: "I, the Kyushu Imperial Court, are being attacked by the Yamato Kingdom, the Rakshasa Kingdom, and the White Robe Kingdom on one side. At the same time, we are strictly guarding against the national defense of Xizhou. Alas."
The three of them looked at each other, relatively speechless.
Another hour later, the office was silent.
The seven bosses of the consortium felt pain in their buttocks from sitting there, and everyone began to move uneasily. The elderly Liu Jianye even stood up and stretched his legs.
At this time, Li Zhen, who had his eyes closed, suddenly said: "The Ten Thousand Consortium has offered two billion Kyushu coins. The seven of you will share it equally. Do you have any objection?"
The office fell silent for a moment.
Seven people were shocked, two billion!
What a joke. The one-billion-billion-yuan loan given to Xinyuan Country has already caused a lot of bleeding. Now you have to pay two billion for no reason
Just as the seven people were about to speak, Li Zhen suddenly opened his eyes, scanned everyone's faces sharply, and said in a hoarse voice as calmly as possible:
"I have a plan to expand the Ten Thousand Years Consortium to the world. It is not limited to Kyushu. Capital should be plundered from outsiders. I think taking Kyushu as the center and grabbing the wealth of the world may be the eternal king. .Of course, this road has a long way to go.”
Li Zhen paused and said in a deep voice: "So, on this road, we will be like a herd of wild beasts, constantly leaving behind the unsociable, injured, and weak parts. Let the team always stay healthy, Strong state. Capital is cruel, but I still don’t hope that any of the people here will eventually be eliminated. Of course, I also believe that if one of them is thrown away, the other six will equally belong to him. With that huge amount of capital, the remaining six will be even stronger, and they will be happy to do so.”
“…”
As soon as these words came out, the seven people broke out in cold sweat. I became uneasy.
Are you going to shuffle the cards
After a long while, Liu Jianye said with a smile: "No objection. I give priority to Dean Li in everything."
Ma Fei also laughed: "We were gathered together by Dean Li. I don't know what others think. Anyway, I will definitely respond to Dean Li's call."
"I listen to Dean Li anyway."
"I listen to Dean Li."
"No comment."
"Two billion is a bit too little. When divided equally, it's only a few hundred million. I'm willing to pay a little more."
“…”
Maybe there was a central idea in the long paragraph Li Zhen said, and those seven people understood it - if you have any objections, leave!
What is more terrifying than capital is open robbery.
There is nothing more terrifying than capitalists who exploit capital. It is Li Zhen who exploits and squeezes capitalists.
No one dares to have an opinion. No one was dissatisfied.
No one even dared to have second thoughts.
Absolute control is actually not a right sometimes.
Absolute control is sometimes the carrot that keeps the donkey moving forward, but it can't eat it...
Well, the capitalist’s philosophy is: if you don’t make more, you lose.
