"I am in the cage, and you are outside the cage. I am happy inside the cage, but you are worried outside the cage."
Yuan Chengde in the cage pointed at He Kunzhen and said with a smile: "Tell me, which one of us is in the cage?"
Li Muye squatted next to the cage and asked, "Do you know what you are doing?"
"I'm studying and thinking about things." Yuan Chengde said: "There are too many things to think about, so I have to think slowly in the cage, otherwise I won't be able to control myself."
"Reading?" Li Muye looked at the empty cage.
"That's right." Yuan Chengde pointed to his head and said, "Many, many books, all here."
"I admire it." Li Muye asked, "Do you understand now?"
"No, I can never figure it out." Yuan Chengde said: "But it doesn't matter. If you think about death, doesn't Old Monk Chengkong want to die yourself?"
He Kunzhen said angrily: "Master was killed by you."
Yuan Chengde was unconvinced and said: "He has no demonic obstacles in his heart, so how could he be said to be dead by me? He used me to deceive the world and steal his reputation. In the end, he had no choice but to sit down and pass away to preserve the pure reputation of the Buddhist Zen Forest. He can be considered a brave man." At this point, he paused. He stopped, sighed, and said: "No matter what, he can be considered a bright and pure person. It's a pity."
He Kunzhen said: "Master took you in for a while, even if his personal ethics were damaged, he finally paid it off with his life. Can't you still forgive him?"
"I have never resented him, so how can I forgive him?" Yuan Chengde squatted in the cage and said seriously: "There is a big smelly cage outside. I use this small cage to separate myself from the outside. You Do you think this is a great idea?" He looked at Li Muye and said, "The old monk we are talking about couldn't escape from the cage outside, so he killed himself, but if he is willing to get into the cage and live like me, , do you think he will die?"
"No." Li Muye said: "But not everyone can enjoy this kind of freedom. For example, I can't do it. I guess Brother He will also be in trouble."
Yuan Chengde grinned and said, "I discovered it as soon as you came in. He Kunzhong was going to entrust me and his daughter to you, right?"
Li Muye said: "It's not that far yet, but he does have this intention."
Yuan Chengde looked at He Kunqi and said, "You seem to be unwilling to be like me."
He Kunzhen shook his head and said: "I would rather die than live like you for a day."
Yuan Chengde pointed to his head and said: "It's not empty here. The simpler the outside world, the better. It's just that it's empty here, that's why you have so much reluctance and pain."
He Kunzhen said: "It's rare for you to be sober. I want to ask you, besides being like you, is there any other way for me to survive?"
Yuan Chengde said: "Throughout the ages, the only solution is death. Once you die, a hundred people will be saved."
What kind of idea is this? If I'm willing to die, why should I ask you for help? I guess that's not what the master meant.
Li Muye thought of feigning death and said, "Brother He may not be able to bear it, and he may not be able to get through it, and the current situation has not reached that point yet."
Yuan Chengde said: "If you don't want to die or go crazy, then you can only fight like a trapped beast."
He Kunzhen said: "I'm just afraid that I won't be able to fight against them."
"Of course you can't fight." Yuan Chengde pointed at Li Muye and said, "Otherwise you wouldn't have brought him here."
There is indeed something clever about an expert.
Li Muye said: "Do you know why I came here?"
Yuan Chengde pointed at He Kunqi again and said: "He had a hard time in the cage, but he couldn't bear to fight against the trapped beast. He wanted to be like a bird and fly out of the cage, but he didn't worry about the jars and important things. My relatives, so I wanted to make some explanations before flying away."
Li Muye asked: "Do you think he has a chance to succeed?"
Yuan Chengde looked at Li Muye and said: "This is a way of passing on the money. If he succeeds, you will be unlucky. If you are willing to accept it, it means you must be a very powerful person."
Li Muye said: "I did once have a lot of wealth, but it no longer belongs to me. Strictly speaking, the resources I can directly control are very limited."
"Indirect control is sometimes more powerful and safer than direct control."
"This is the difference between you and him." Yuan Chengde pointed at He Kunqi and said: "You know what is most important, so you don't let those external things become a burden to you, and it is because he does not have the courage It’s just step by step that we have fallen to where we are today.”
He Kunzhen sighed and said, "I regret now that I didn't listen to you earlier. I should have agreed to Bai Xue's capital injection when we built the Kunzhen Building." As he spoke, he sighed deeply and said, "At that time I have just made my debut in the precious metals industry, and I am very motivated and want to show my talents. I don’t want my company to be penetrated too deeply by them and I will be confused for a while!”
Li Muye said: "It's not a pleasant feeling to leave money and power. It's hard to say that your original choice was wrong, and my current approach may not be correct."
Yuan Chengde said: "Time is also a matter of luck." He added: "People's hearts are separated from each other. Your way of playing is much more difficult than He Kunqi's. He is reluctant to give up and can't keep it from losing. You are giving up without losing. Comparatively speaking, His property is the key. People will be happy when their wealth is gone, but you are the most important, so you must be very strong."
He Kunzhen said: "Brother Li is very skilled."
Yuan Chengde said: "I think this is also the case. This Mr. Li is now in the middle of Japan, his status is as stable as Mount Tai, and his power, intelligence, and physical means are beyond your comparison. That's why you plan to pass on your burden to he."
Li Muye said: "Jinyuan Zhenghe Group has formed a complete industrial chain in the metallurgical industry and precious metal sales industry, and also has a good foundation in the commercial real estate field. For me, it is not only a burden, but also a powerful one." Help.”
Yuan Chengde said: "This is a very dangerous game, and you are too smart. I can't give you any guidance."
He Kunzhen said: "I have already made a decision on the general direction, what is missing is the details."
Yuan Chengde said: "The details are nothing more than whether people's calculations are careful or not. You couldn't calculate your opponents before, and you are unlikely to escape their grasp now, unless you have a way to make them be more lenient towards you."
He Kunzhen said: "It would be fine if I could give up my wealth, but I have worked hard for half my life and gained nothing. I only have this family property and a daughter. I just hope that I can hand over the family property to my daughter. How can I do that?" Are you willing to hand it over to them?"
Yuan Chengde said: "Are you afraid that your daughter can't afford it?"
He Kunzhen said: "Although I have a plan in mind, I still want to ask you to help me plan something. Today I specially invited Brother Li to meet with you. The three parties will meet openly and honestly with each other to discuss a plan that both of us can trust. There is a way."
Yuan Chengde turned to Li Muye and said: "Those who work hard will govern others. You and He Kunqi are different. Helping you plan things is like a counselor meeting Meng De. If you put too much effort in not talking, it will be easy to say more and make more mistakes. If I If there's anything I said wrong, just listen to it."
Li Muye now fully recognized the identity of this master and said with a smile: "You are welcome, I am all ears."
"First of all, what I want to know is what do you want?" Yuan Chengde said: "What He Kunqi wanted at first was to go ashore and clear his name, but now what he wants is to pass on the family business to his daughter. What about you? You started from scratch at your age. You have to go through more risks than him to get to where you are today. Why are you doing all this?"
"At first it was for a woman." Li Muye said frankly: "Now I can't say why. I don't want to be famous, and I don't care much about how much money I make."
"You are a person who is often emotional, but at the same time you are a contradictory body full of rationality and wisdom." Yuan Chengde said: "You have a separate standard for good and bad, right and wrong in your heart, and no one can give you guidance on this point. , I can only say that you live for your emotional ties, family, country, lover, brothers, grudges, any aspect may affect your life trajectory at any time, so I conclude that you live to follow your heart."
"Good summary!" Li Muye praised: "Just these few words for you, I didn't come here in vain today."
Brother Ono has never been considered a heroic figure with great ambitions. Once upon a time, Nana was the only goal in life. But now, Nana is no longer what she used to be, and this relationship is no longer the only reason for her struggle. What's the next step? Li Muye was actually confused. Yuan Chengde is right to say that fame and wealth can be turned into clouds with a smile, and you can come and go as you please. Is there anything more free and easy than this state
"Thank you for your recognition." Yuan Chengde said: "This compliment from you is more refreshing than hundreds of compliments from you."
This was an insinuation that He Kunzhen was a fool who was easy to fool, and there was nothing to be proud of because it was so easy to get his approval.
He Kunzhen said: "Don't harm me. It's rare for you to wake up. If there is any way to ensure that I can leave peacefully, don't hide it."
Yuan Chengde said: "You have already thought of the best way. All I can do is help you realize it. I think Mr. Li already understands what I mean. If Mr. Li comes to ask me the same question, then I will There are only four words for me: Don’t lose your tail!”
He Kunzhen looked at Li Muye and then at Yuan Chengde. The two were looking at each other and smiling. It was the sympathy of heroes who had similar views, and they obviously knew each other well. He was the only one who asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
Yuan Chengde chuckled and said: "Congratulations, you are going to be my father-in-law."
He Kunzhen suddenly realized it. He looked at Li Muye with surprise and said, "So you agree to marry Xiaoqi?"
Li Muye said: "He Xiaoqi is a good girl, young and beautiful, and she has billions of family assets as dowry. This matter is actually too high for me, a second-married man. If she doesn't have any objection, I will have no problem. .”
He Kunzhen was surprised and puzzled: "Why did you suddenly agree?"
"It's very simple. Marrying your daughter is in line with Mr. Yuan's wishes and mine. Of course, it is also in line with your father and daughter's wishes." Li Muye said, "I will repay the kindness Mr. Yuan owes you. From now on You don’t need to worry about his affairs anymore.”
Yuan Chengde said: "He Kunqi, you saved my life, and now I have helped you solve the most difficult problem in your mind. According to this calculation, we will not owe each other anything in the future, but we can't just count kindness but not loyalty. I pretend I've been acting stupid all these years, and I've seen a lot of ruthless and unjust people. You, Lao He, have ever worshiped me as a superior person. I voluntarily live in a cage, and it has nothing to do with you. Even though I've only treated a lunatic all these years, I have to live in a cage three times a day. I have never been sloppy in my service, taking care of food, warmth and diarrhea. In the past ten years, it has become more than just a matter of kindness."
He Kunzhen said: "This is also our fate. It doesn't matter whether you are crazy or not. I didn't expect you to repay anything."
Yuan Chengde said: "I know that you still have worries in your heart. The most fear is that Mr. Li will betray his trust and use your resources to abandon your daughter. To be honest, I have no confidence in this, but in front of Mr. Li Faced with this, I can assure you that if that day comes, if I don’t die, I will protect your daughter’s wealth for another ten years.” (End of Chapter)
