this man is not calm

Chapter 336 Bargaining
From what Old Huang said, it seems that the ancestral "gold finger" has some unknown secrets.

Next, the conversation between the two moved to a very private place, probably the "safe house" Huang Zhengkuo specially prepared for himself.

After sending all the serving servants away and turning off the lights, Huang Zhengkuo used his own "Destiny Candlestick" to light it up. The two people sitting across from each other seemed to be enveloped in a halo of dim yellow.

"It took our ancestors many years to raise the family status to the current level. It's almost over. With such fortunes, we can no longer become a powerful family like the 'Five Surnames and Seven Hopes' in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, or the 'Jiangqing Family' that dominated in the Song Dynasty. 'It's not advisable either. It's normal for things to flourish but then decline. It's enough to keep the peace of future generations, spread their branches and leaves, and wait for the arrival of the next big wave of the times. "

Over ninety years old, Huang Zhengkuo's vision is not bad, he is not particularly pedantic, and he is not bound by the outdated moral values ​​of the old era. Whether at home or abroad, he relies on the power of one or two families to survive in the turbulent future world. It is impossible to remain standing and maintain a transcendent influence.

With the development of science and technology to this point, the global division of labor at the international level has begun. It is very difficult for the aristocratic families in the old era to maintain the status of a large and comprehensive clan.

After talking a lot intermittently, Lao Huang talked about topics that no one could usually talk about before he couldn't help but sigh:
"Your grandfather... is very good. He is not overbearing, arrogant, or disrespectful as people later rumored. He is very prestigious in the family. Although he also has the shortcomings of a young man who is stubborn and lacks experience. Overall, he is considered to be of average quality. , half a century ago when talents were withering, he was a rare pillar of the clan. Because of this, the business failed three times. I was still very optimistic about him, but I didn't expect that the high expectations would become the last one under heavy pressure. Straw."

"Mainly... it's because I don't have the 'gold finger' to inherit the family inheritance, right?"

Huang Zhengkuo glanced at Jin Shang speechlessly and replied calmly:
"Going against the will, the hope of success is too small. It is really difficult to expect the children to charge into the battle when I can't do it. It was only when Xiu Min's mental state had problems that I regretted it. I thought I had 'Destiny's blessing' will definitely protect the family's longevity and even reach a higher level. However, I was wrong. I ignored the motto left by my ancestors and overestimated this mysterious power. "

It's already the 20th century, and if you still act with old concepts, there will naturally be some problems. Huang Xiumin's failure has his own problems, the regret of bad luck, and the mistakes in Lao Huang's education and family development policies.

After chatting for a long time, Jin Shang lost his composure before getting to the main topic. He couldn't help but ask, and Lao Huang still said calmly:

His words were very vague, but Huang Zhengkuo, who was not confused, still looked calm.

"Who doesn't have secrets? Aren't you also mysterious? Besides, it's very suspicious for us to talk in a ghost place like this."

Huang Zhengkuo, bathed in the light yellow candlelight, sighed deeply and said,
"Whether it's my candlestick or your golden broom ornament, it's just a carrier. The power comes from you and me, but it needs 'food' to grow. As for how to express it, it depends on your own ideas. I just want to be a guardian. It is enough for the family to be prosperous, safe and happy. How long this thing can protect me is closely related to my clan members. Similarly, the growth of your 'Golden Broom' energy is also related to the extension carrier. You... The most direct control is distribution and expression. "

"Assign I know, what does performance... mean?"

Therefore, later Huang Zhengkuo became more Buddhist. In addition to taking care of big things for future generations, he didn't care about small things at all. When the time comes, we are also waiting for the next person to come forward who can be entrusted with the funeral arrangements.

"Are you talking about this now?"

"This person is you. I'm a little disappointed, but I also feel a little lucky afterwards. The family has been floating in the sky for so many years, so it would be good to have a chance to land safely. It's a bit hopeless to hope that we can set sail again with flying colors."

"Let's talk specifically about the issue of 'Destiny'."

Unexpectedly, decades later, a descendant like Jin Shang who broke out of the family would show extraordinary talents.

"It's not as optimistic as you think! I don't know the details. It probably means that after comparing the genes of our ancestors, we found that the evolution speed of the Y chromosome is obviously faster than that of others. One species is named ' The expression of the palindrome structure's interval is slightly different. Researchers suspect that this is because the probability of our family producing talents and the probability of producing madmen has been significantly higher in the past few hundred years."

"Don't be impatient, there is still a lot of time. This is the situation at home. If you are interested, you can learn more about it. Regarding the matter of 'Destiny', our ancestors have spent hundreds of years exploring it, and they have also explored the world. Is there any other aristocratic family with similar power? In the end, nothing was found. It can be basically considered that it is exclusive to our family and can only be passed down among men. "

"Maybe! Over the past twenty or thirty years, I have also hired many professional biomedical teams for research. Unfortunately, so far, there has been almost no results."

"I'm quite old. When I was young, I would probably be a little more entangled. Now, I don't bother to ask about your secrets. Since you have reached the time to start exploring 'destiny', it is probably also the guidance of fate. ”

"Don't ask too much, I don't understand either. I won't go into the details. The conclusion is that by my generation, the family's Y chromosome has almost reached the theoretical end of evolution. I don't know if it is true. I personally tend to I believed that I even felt that the blessing of ‘destiny’ was over for me. But in the end…”

"Almost? That's just barely discovered, not bad..."

"I've been observing you for a long time, and I often think about the meaning of some of your actions. Some... are probably hints given to you by your 'golden broom', and some... I can't tell."

"So, I felt a little unprepared. Why...why did you inherit this power?"

"Is there an anomaly like me?"

"Palindromes... structures?"

"Y chromosome encryption?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Zhengkuo smiled and waved his hand. Jin Shang's eyes seemed to be hallucinating. The original candlelight spread rapidly and separated into many, like stars in the sky.

When Jin Shang was confused, he suddenly heard Huang Zhengkuo's majestic low voice.

"look carefully."

"Uh……"

Suppressing the doubts and unhappiness in his heart, Jin Shang opened his eyes wide, and saw that those were not stars, but shining and beating candles. The light was bright and dark, some seemed to be extinguished, and some were burning brightly.

"This is?"

"You were once one of your pig-brained relatives, but..."

Without waiting for Huang Zhengkuo's explanation, Jin Shang suddenly had an idea. He lowered his head and looked at himself. He saw a bright candle swaying between his chest and abdomen. Wisps of lavender smoke dispersed and converged into a thread in his body, connecting to Huang Zhengkuo's body. , and the candle burning quietly in his body, although warm, exuded an indescribable aura of twilight.

"See? Everyone will be prosperous, and everyone will suffer! Sometimes manpower is exhausted, but there is strength when there are more people. When everyone adds fuel, the flames are high. This power of our family is probably the manifestation of the super life form based on the so-called Y chromosome. A Everyone will die eventually, but the transmission of life is endless, and genes are selfish. In order to pass it on, they will try all kinds of methods..."

"Wait, this isn't right..."

After listening to Lao Huang talking a lot, Jin Shang suddenly noticed something unusual.
"The 'destiny' of you and your ancestors cannot be used by outsiders?" "Did you find out?"

Huang Zhengkuo nodded approvingly,
"It's not impossible, it's just that it can't be used directly on outsiders. As I said before, it stands to reason that this kind of power in our family has come to an end. The glory of a gentleman can be cut down in five generations. The Huang family has enjoyed it for so many generations. It's time to be content. However, your appearance seems to be similar to that of my ancestors, but the nature of your power is a little different. I didn't react at first, but later I realized that it was wrong. "Family" by blood, your "destiny" is concentrated in the "family, country and world". It is still at the level of "home", right? "

Family and relatives are not necessarily related by blood. This is for sure. Jin Shang's 'golden broom' has expanded the scope of application of the 'golden finger' power inherited from the old Huang family.

The "destiny" of Lao Huang's family is probably really exhausted, but here in Jinshang, it unexpectedly "comes into something new".

"In terms of influence and extraordinary level, there is no big breakthrough, but it is easier to use. So, I think there is something about you that is different from us old guys. Is it because you broke up your family and became independent and changed your name?"

"Knowing it from birth, awakening the wisdom of past lives, or reincarnation with great power?"

Huang Zhengkuo didn't know how to respond to Jin Shang's half-joking words, and couldn't help but curl his lips in disdain.

"Believe in science and don't mess with these feudal superstitions. Just because we don't understand the power of our family does not mean that it is some kind of fairy or monster. Not understanding it does not affect us from exploring its laws and making better use of it."

"You can continue talking and I won't interrupt you."

"As long as it does not go against the fundamentals, how this 'destiny' behaves is generally controlled by the holder. For example, I can clearly see the life status of close relatives, slightly adjust the good and bad luck, and provide them with While eliminating the evil, you can increase your strength and make yourself blessed and have a long life. Of course, there are limits to this. If you optimize within the ideal range, people have a lifespan limit, and it is extremely difficult to make up for acquired damage. Over the past two years, my health has gotten worse and I need more time to rest in order to stay healthy.”

"In other words, this power is exerted based on my knowledge?"

For example, in Jin Shang's common sense, he believes that koi are a symbol of good fortune and health, so the auspicious animal in his hometown is koi, and the number means growth; but if he subconsciously thinks that mice and cockroaches are a symbol of good luck, it cannot be said that the void will manifest. It's a sewer crawler nest.

"In other words, it...is communicating and interacting with me?"

"Yes! You can regard it as a naughty child with a fair IQ, slow reaction, lagging perception, and can't speak yet, but it is always trying to coordinate and communicate with you. How to 'raise' it to become its ideal appearance? It depends on your own choice. In addition, don’t place too high hopes on it. Even if you fully understand it, it is not omnipotent. It is better to say that there is more power.”

"Enough. The world is just a grassroots team. Most of the so-called influential people are just lucky and have little to do with personal ability. As long as the 'Golden Broom' can provide a little help, it can bring great advantages. The gap between me and most of my competitors.”

"If you think so, that's great."

A wolf can run faster than a sheep, which is the difference between life and death. An average improvement of one percentage point in the work efficiency of large enterprises determines who eats the dinner plate and who takes the knife and fork.

During the Grass Stage Team period, this feeling was not particularly obvious. Now that he has become a wealthy businessman, Jin Shang is increasingly aware that if the employees' work enthusiasm increases a little bit, even if they get off work a little half an hour later every day, the advantages will be endless. .

"The larger the scope of influence, the more obvious the performance. You probably realize it. At this point, it is almost an insurmountable bottleneck. It is natural that you want to use this power more freely. I actually don't have many good ways. I can only give you some tips based on the experiences of many seniors..."

Before he finished speaking, Huang Zhengkuo handed over a very simple pamphlet. When Jin Shang took it, he warned,

"Use it more proactively and let Destiny know what you are missing. If you don't tell it, how will it know? Although you may not get what you want, at least there is hope, right?"

Having said so much, Huang Zhengkuo's words are the most useful. If you want it to be easy to use, you need to break it in more.

As for the small tests given by Huang Zhengkuo, they are all introductions and usage experiences of ancestors from past generations. There are many types, some are strong and some are weak, but as Huang Zhengkuo said, they are slightly different from Jin Shang's 'Golden Finger'.

After more than ten minutes, Jin Shang finished reading the booklet and returned it. He felt that he had gained a lot and said:

"It's really interesting. There are battles on the battlefield, bravery and ruthlessness, teaching and educating people, having children, reading and understanding, fortune telling, and even an old fox who knows everything and plots..."

"Keep your mouth shut, he is your direct ancestor after all."

What interests Jin Shang the most is that there is an old man who stands tall in the court and assists the five monarchs. He has almost never failed in his battles. It is amazing.

"Your 'Golden Broom' doesn't seem to have a particularly large increase in self-improvement, nor is the blessing effect particularly strong. It is considered a general-purpose and very practical, but it has an overwhelming advantage in controlling the power of oneself. In ancient times, In troubled times, it is impossible to rule the world and become the master of the world. Now, it may be better to be a big entrepreneur and the boss of a big conglomerate. You have chosen the right path. "

Huang Zhengkuo said with great appreciation,

"This is why I decided to increase my investment. If one person achieves enlightenment, chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven. As long as you gain momentum, those fools will be your blood relatives after all. Others will be more or less scrupulous about it, and they may not be able to enjoy some benefits."

Lao Huang's meaning was very clear. He handed over many assets to Jin Shang to take care of and asked him to make a promise because he was optimistic about this person, not because of any business achievements.

It is natural to bind individuals rather than investment companies.

"Thanks to your kindness, I agree. However, there are so many things that I won't be able to take for a while. If you want me to buy them with personal debt and repay them in installments, it is not impossible, but the personal financial pressure in the early stage is too great. , you help me contact the bank for a loan, I don’t care how you do it, you handle the procedures, the interest rate should be low, the repayment cycle should be long, the guarantor and other things are up to you, and besides..."

At this time, it would be a waste not to make some demands. Jin Shang continued unceremoniously,
"Help me get the secondary communications operator, third-party payment operation qualification, non-bank financial license, and information network audio-visual program license..."

"that's it?"

"I can use it now, but it's hard to get started. As for the others, you won't be needed by then."

"make a deal!"

In a short period of time, all the necessary qualifications will be obtained, so as not to have to worry about it during the advancement process.

As for the future, it is estimated that there will be no need for Lao Huang. It is like deploying electric cars or something in ten years. The qualifications for this thing are not easy to obtain, but by that time, Jin Shang is estimated to be very strong. This kind of thing will not be possible. You need to use external force to go through the back door, and you can get it yourself.
