this man is not calm

Chapter 277 Asset Transfer

Early the next morning, Jin Shang and Jin Shi got up in a hurry without sleeping for a few hours. After making some preparations according to the plan, they went out.

These days, people obviously get up much earlier. It’s very busy outside just after dawn. There are many people in the car. If you don’t hurry up, there may be a traffic jam.

When the Jin family father and son arrived at their ancestral home, the sun had not risen for long.

The very old Huang Zhengkuo went for a walk early to breathe fresh air with the help of his servant.

After meeting and saying hello, Jin Shi went to say hello to other relatives who came one after another. Jin Shang was too lazy to chat with people he didn't know, so he stayed beside Huang Zhengkuo, chatting and having some leisure time.

"Aren't you going to meet us? We are all blood relatives. There are always benefits to building a good relationship."

"say something?"

Jin Shang also thought about what his great-grandfather said, but later gave up the idea. If you are not in the same circle, don't be too rigid. Only a few of the relatives of Lao Huang's family have matured. Those who can enjoy the shadow of their ancestors in peace and live a good life are considered good. Most of them are seeking benefits under the umbrella of the big family and ostentatiously causing trouble. Bastard, when Huang Zhengkuo kicks his legs, their good days will come to an end.

Seeing that Jin Shang didn't look down on those "filial sons and virtuous grandchildren" at all, Huang Zhengkuo didn't force him. At such an old age, I still know very well what the bastards in my family are like.

"The main thing is that I still don't have a backbone. Your grandfather died early, and there is no one in the family who can convince the public. I am old, have low energy, and can't take care of it, so I have to let it go. Gradually, people's hearts are scattered."

"The beauty of a gentleman is cut off after five lifetimes. The main reason is that everyone's blood relationship is far apart, each has its own social circle, and there is no need for each other, so it naturally fades away."

Regardless of its use value, emotional value or show-off value, the name "Jiangxia Huang" is still loud among the older generation. Young people who pursue new things, are rebellious and disobey authority, don't care about this at all.

The influence of traditional clan society is still there, but the continuous deepening of urbanization has gradually disintegrated the centripetal force of the family led by Huang Zhengkuo.

Back in the days when circle culture was most prevalent, everyone's first thought when going to the hospital to register, buy a train ticket, or register for residence or apply for documents was always to ask acquaintances if there was anyone who could help. It's not about going through the process and queuing up.

Network is ability, and getting to know noble people is much more important than improving ability and self-struggle.

The most annoying thing for contemporary urban youth is these red tapes, welcome and send-offs, wine table culture, mutual flattery and so on.

Perhaps the value of circles, connections and social interaction still exists, but it is no longer centered on blood and marriage. As the business society becomes more mature, long-term ties can only be maintained by bringing benefits to each other. The influence of traditional clans is gradually disintegrating.

In the past, small families were very vulnerable under the patriarchal ethical system. There was no protection from the clan, and if everyone did not stick together for warmth, it was easy for them to be regarded as soft persimmons and bullied. The increase in the urbanization rate will naturally reverse this situation. In the small bourgeois class where regulations are becoming more and more complete, the help provided by the so-called big families is getting smaller and smaller. Instead, heavy social pressure has brought negative effects. More and more young people who have established a foothold in the city are definitely not as close as their elders to their aunts and uncles in the countryside.

Huang Zhengkuo, who had expected this, sighed dejectedly:

"Is my persistence so worthless?"

After hesitating for a while, Jin Shang still answered calmly:

"Family and blood ties are still useful, but... they will no longer be as clear-cut as before. The aristocrats of the Sui and Tang Dynasties who can be called earth-shattering lords will no longer appear. In fact, today's efficient In modern society, a united elite is more needed to maintain status. Those tribesmen who lack ability, have no ambition, and have impure thoughts are not only not a help, but may also be a drag."

In ancient times, having land, people, food, and a large number of people meant a prosperous family business. The situation is different now. Huang Zhengkuo's indiscriminate behavior of supporting his clan members will only have the opposite effect.

For example, for Jin Shang, there are so many people in the Huang family. As ordinary laborers, their hard-working and hard-working nature is not as good as that of migrant workers from other places; measured by the standards of middle and senior managers, they are completely inadequate. If they are recruited into the company, they can only be supported by idle jobs. As for the value of their so-called connections, it is worthless in front of a large company like Jinxi Culture.

Are these people who come to "beg for alms" in the name of relatives willing to work hard from the grassroots level and work like other employees?

For close relatives who are relatively close to each other, Jin Shang is willing to give more advice. If they are distant relatives and have some ability, they can also provide opportunities. If we are not familiar with each other and are not willing to be honest, then we should go as far away as possible.

"I know, I know everything, but I can't just sit back and watch my clan members scatter in all directions."

Huang Zhengkuo is now ninety-one, or ninety-two?

In the era when he was born, the education he received was to maintain his family's reputation and bring glory to his family. He did countless things throughout his life, all with this goal in mind.

As a result, Lin Lao was told that the direction was wrong. The harder he worked, the more mistakes he made. Who could bear this?

"I think your omission is that you only control but not cure. It doesn't mean that it is impossible to maintain this big family. The dragon has its own door, and the rat has its hole. Everyone goes his own way and does not affect each other. A clan that is large but not sophisticated is indeed not very adaptable to today’s urbanized life, but that doesn’t mean it really has no place at all.”

Jin Shang feels that some of Huang Zhengkuo's methods are still very effective. For example, if the children of the clan are academically successful or win some heavyweight awards, there will be special funds to reward them.

Children who are orphans or widowed in the clan are protected, and no one is said to be unable to study because of poverty at home.

In fact, most people do not enjoy these benefits, but for a few people in need, it is like giving timely help. Jin Shang himself has spent a lot of "pocket money" in the past ten years because of his excellent academic performance.

Anyway, the conditions are there. If you don’t have the ability to get it, you can’t blame anyone.

Lao Huang had always hoped that one or two outstanding children would emerge from the tribe and could achieve success in politics, business or teaching. As a result, after waiting for half a lifetime, he still didn't see anyone who stood out. Finally, there was a Huang Xiumin who could see. His heart was as high as the sky and his life was as rich as paper. He died young many years ago.

As for the Jin family father and son, who have impressed people in the past year, Huang Zhengkuo's heart is also extremely tangled. Although he is his grandson and great-grandson, his surname is no longer Huang. Moreover, this little guy in front of him, who seems to have some ability, does not look down on those rotten fish and shrimps in the clan at all.

"I don't know how they will live if I leave."

"You are worrying too much. Humans are highly adaptable creatures. If they know that they have no support, they will naturally find other ways to survive."

"Right."

After walking for a while, Lao Huang, who was a little tired, sat in a wheelchair, with Jin Shang pushing him behind, and slowly walked back.

"Having so much property in my family is a disaster rather than a blessing. I don't know what to do. My descendants are incompetent. Leaving too much wealth to them is just pushing me into a pit of fire."

Windfalls that cannot be kept will sooner or later attract the covetousness of jackals, tigers and leopards.

"It's really hard to do, so why don't you just donate it? Leave a good reputation, and if your descendants commit crimes in the future, they can rely on this incense to save their lives." "I have thought about it, but... hundreds of years of accumulation, Even if these generations have failed and failed a lot, there is still a lot left. Most of them are fields, shops, earth mines, etc. Over the years, they have exchanged a lot of easily liquidated equity, bonds and gold, and more... It’s still difficult to deal with.”

“It’s not easy to donate.”

Hearing this, Jin Shang couldn't help but be speechless. Just leave this thing alone. After ten or twenty years, its value will naturally expand. Then you really don't know how much it is worth.

If Lao Huang is twenty years younger, no, even if he is ten years younger, there is no need to worry.

Too much money makes your hands burn, which is how Huang Zhengkuo really feels now.

There is no successor, and there is no one who can manage the huge family business.

There are so many funds established to protect the living conditions of the tribesmen. If there is no strong person to protect them, and they are eventually robbed by others, those so-called trust funds will become rootsless trees and water without sources, completely unable to stop outsiders. greedy heart.

"Old man, you don't want me to interfere, do you? This is a hot potato, and whoever takes it will be unlucky. You might as well relax and live a few more years, maybe things will turn around."

"Three years, five years, or ten years? Not enough time, it's too late!"

Huang Zhengkuo responded helplessly:

"I know that you father and son are not stupid and will not meddle in such nosy matters. I know very well that those losers are less capable and are more shameless than the others when they rob the family property."

"Tell me, roughly how many?"

Huang Zhengkuo made a gesture, and Jin Shang understood instantly.

"It's so rich that you can't beat the country. It's really too hot to handle. It's okay for you to hold on to it. Others are really just like children holding onto gold in the busy city, inviting disaster on themselves."

Over the years, Lao Huang has donated money and materials, done charity, and spent a lot of money.

However, when wealth is accumulated to a certain extent, the speed of natural expansion is astonishing. There are so many losers up and down, and even after decades of digging, the situation has not improved much.

"There is definitely no way to spend it through normal means. For dandy kids, they only have a few dollars for food, drink and fun. The real way to spend money is to start a business. You go and get a venture capital, provide initial capital, and let them go Fighting in the market. Basically, nine out of ten projects are all in vain. As long as one succeeds, it is considered a success."

Even if they are all mediocre people with poor qualifications and temperaments, by raising Gu, they can more or less cultivate one or two who can read, right?

As a result, Huang Zhengkuo had a gloomy face and shook his head.

"Almost no one is willing to start a business. Your uncles and uncles would rather stay idle in the capital than go to other places to work hard."

"Aren't you motivated?"

"Rather than bothering with that, it's better to make me happy. If you just miss a few, you will make more money than if they have a successful career."

"That's no wonder."

With such a ready-made "wealth-giving boy" at home, why do you need to work hard outside?

The current situation of Lao Huang's family reminds Jin Shang of the Jia family in "A Dream of Red Mansions". To please the ancestors is to gain great benefits. In this small circle, you can get the greatest benefits. In the treacherous world outside, dangers aside, success is , the harvest is not big.

Not everyone has Jin Shang's vision and insight and is committed to investing in the new industry of the Internet.

"So, I don't ask you to help those relatives in the future. If there are some incompetent guys who want to die, let them go. As long as most people don't encounter the disaster of overthrowing, I understand, even if there is" Even though destiny is here, I can’t save everyone.”

Huang Zhengkuo said with a ruddy face and said excitedly,

"You have to remember that magical extraordinary power is just a tool, a booster to amplify our abilities. But to the point where we are completely dependent on it, and if we lose it, we can no longer play, and we are probably not far from destruction. The ancestors have Its blessing has still not been able to reverse the decline of the general trend, which shows that we cannot rely on external things."

However, Huang Zhengkuo could no longer look back.

Try your best to live longer, delay the decline of the family, and wait for the opportunity, or the savior may appear.

"Ancestor, you should calm down. Live a few more years and it will be more useful than anything else. If you feel that having too much money is too much, there are still many places where I need to spend a lot of money. You are welcome to invest."

"Making a movie? Even if you complete your year's film list, how much money can you spend in a year?"

“The current market size is small, but that doesn’t mean there is no hope for the future.”

Online video, warehousing and logistics, online payment, takeout subsidies, movie ticket reimbursement, etc., which one in the future will not lose billions every year?

Now, first lose tens of millions to test the water, and in two years, lose hundreds of millions to test your skills. After the millennium, even if you have gold and silver, Jin Shang will still lose your bottom.

“You’re not going to wipe out all the investment that is pragmatic and unrealistic, right?”

"How could it be? I've grown up so old that I haven't learned all those fancy tricks yet. Even if you don't want to, I'm still going to find a 'taken advantage of' to take over. However, saying it's not cost-effective is only based on the efficiency of capital utilization. , the overall income is still much higher than most so-called financial management projects. You see, I have been doing e-commerce. In just a short time, my partners have made double their capital and profits."

Huang Zhengkuo waved his hand.

"I don't want to make more or less, but to preserve the family property as much as possible, so that it is not so conspicuous, and it will not make those ineffective guys really deprived of food and clothing. I will arrange the financial means on the surface, and some of them will not. Those that are easy to liquidate or hide require some special methods to be held on behalf of others. After being packaged and listed, they can be liquidated and returned to the market, so you need reliable people..."

"Because I have a 'golden broom', am I more at ease?"

"Assets, when changing from one form to another, there will be a large difference in the intermediate transaction process. These benefits belong to you. Anyway, those Internet companies of yours will eventually be listed, 'free riding' There are too many, one more and one less, so they are not conspicuous.”
