Big Ear Thief Selling Straw Sandals

Chapter 267: We split up, I want to go back to Gao Laozhuang!

After staying in a single-family villa arranged by her adoptive mother, Ma Chao played with his concubine and his two sons, while Jin Hua counted the gifts given by her elders in return.

While raising money, a red envelope caught her attention.

Open it, take out the letterhead, and start browsing.

After a while, Jin Hua suddenly stood up and let out a low exclamation, causing everyone to look back.

"What's the matter?"

Jinhua walked to her husband in a few steps and handed over the letter.

"My father and mother gave it to me. What does this... mean?"

Ma Chao immediately sat up straight and looked carefully.

There is not much content, but it mainly focuses on one thing. Liu Bei combined his holdings of Huitong Bank, Huitong Securities, SF Express, steel plants, arsenals, construction groups, southern plantations and other industries, plus a large number of mining fields and other assets. It became a super business group and called it "Hope Foundation".

The total assets of the Hope Foundation exceed 8000 billion yuan, which is as high as 8000 million taels when converted into silver, and is growing year by year.

At this point, in the Han Dynasty, apart from the royal family, the family of the richest man was undoubtedly confirmed.

According to the letter, the three brothers of the Ma family were each gifted one percent of the shares of the Hope Foundation.

At the same time, including Liu Neng, Liu Bingkun, Sun Xia, Lan Dong, Zhang Liao, Jian Yong, Gao You, Gao Jin, Liu Fu, Wang Fu, Zhao Yun, Zhang He, Pang De, Hua Tuo, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Abei, Sagawa Shinbei, Cao Wan, Gao Zheng, Gao Miaoniang, etc. each received the same one percent share.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei each obtained 15.00% of the shares.

Youyong Public School, Dahan Institute of Science and Technology and Hanmin Hospital each received [-]% of the shares to improve and optimize the corresponding low-income groups.

Finally, the remaining 15.00% of the shares are used as secret funds, not disclosed to the public, and controlled by the fund's board of directors.

Liu Bei serves as the honorary chairman of the foundation and does not participate in daily management operations.

Guan Yu serves as the chairman and Zhang Fei serves as the vice chairman.

The executive chairman is Jia Xu, the vice chairman is Guo Jia, and the remaining five directors are elected by the annual shareholders' meeting.

The above is the main content of the letter, and Ma Chao fell into deep thought.

Judging from the complete planning, this move was not a temporary move, but must have been carefully planned.

The strange thing is that his adoptive father and stepmother had not revealed it to him before, and he did not hear anyone else mention it during the dinner.

Judging from the organizational structure of the foundation, the adoptive father does have plans to leave, but why?

Ma Chao didn't believe that anyone could force his adoptive father to make such a ridiculous decision.

Okay, why are you leaving?

He was puzzled and distressed. He suddenly stood up and planned to find his adoptive father to find out.

But Jinhua held her husband back: "Husband, if I can tell you, my adoptive father will definitely say that if I don't tell you, it will be in vain to ask again. I think this may be a puzzle given to you by your adoptive father. You need to Looking for answers.”

Ma Chao was stunned. What his wife said made sense. He sat down again and asked after a long time: "Madam, what do you think about this matter?"

Jinhua smiled and said: "8000 billion! How big of a black tiger does my adoptive father have to ride to earn this amount? I am a woman, and I am from Sanhan..."

Ma Chao immediately said: "Women still hold up half the sky! What's wrong with Sanhan? Isn't it also the territory of the Han Dynasty? You are the head wife of my Ma family, and you have entered the genealogy. Who dares to look down on you? I will call him to death... "

Jinhua quickly said: "Okay, what are you talking about? I thought that my adoptive father was not only in charge of the family but also the country, and he also had to take care of you subordinates and juniors. It is not an exaggeration to say that he takes care of everything. But from the words of my husband and two uncles , and judging from rumors, the adoptive father actually prefers to be more unrestrained."

Ma Chao nodded. Indeed, the burden on his adoptive father's shoulders was too heavy!
"You mean, my adoptive father doesn't like his current life?"

Jinhua nodded, but hesitated.

Ma Chao encouraged: "You women are thoughtful, tell me, what will happen?"

"I heard that the affairs of the third master's family have hurt my adoptive father's heart. If I follow my wishes, I can abandon my errands and be out of sight and out of mind. I can take my family and find a place where no one is around and live a comfortable life. .”

Ma Chao was a little anxious. With such a big mess, if his adoptive father really waved his sleeves and walked away, the Yongzhou faction would lose its roots.

"This can't be done. There are so many of us and such a large territory. If the adoptive father is not here, who can hold on to the situation? Then the team will break up! There is going to be civil strife in Bashu, and Jiangdong is holding back evil? Besides, , the Queen Mother’s health has never recovered. If two young emperors compete for the throne, who can hold it down? No, it really can’t!"

Jinhua was helpless and said: "Husband, don't worry. It was all my concubine's speculation before, and it may not be true. It is possible that my adoptive father is retiring in another courtyard."

Speaking of this, Ma Chao suddenly recalled the advice given to him by his rebel father.

To share profits and unite friends, it seems likely that this refers to the current situation.

Forget it, let's see what the signs are when I say hello to the second elder tomorrow.

Just like Ma Chao's golden flower, many people also have trouble sleeping late at night at home.

The only person who knows how to be pretty is Guan Yu who is stationed in Yecheng.

A few days ago, he came to visit his elder brother for some reason. During the chat, the two talked about future developments and changes.

Liu Bei showed his impatience with trivial matters at that time, and even jokingly said that he wanted to open up the West in America and build a golden cross-sea bridge.

At that time, Guan Yu didn't pay much attention to it. These days, no one has time to spare to make a living. Although poetry and distant places are good, you have to have money first, right?

Now that I think about it, my eldest brother is very determined to leave.

However, when he saw the letter saying that he would be appointed as the chairman of the foundation, he felt numb.

Although he possesses superb martial arts and has over [-] elite soldiers, not to mention equipment.

Except for the Shenji Camp, it is the best and the best here. All kinds of new equipment and weapons are all taught by the Shenji Camp.

However, I was originally a fugitive who worked hard, and everything I have now is given by my elder brother.

If the eldest brother is not here, if he is really asked to shoulder this responsibility, he may not be qualified even if he grows three heads and six arms.

What's even worse is that everyone in the Yongzhou Department is hoping to push their eldest brother to the top of the Ninth Five-Year Plan.

If you do this, what will you do in the future?
After thinking about it, he wrote a reply to his elder brother and secretly asked someone to rush it eight hundred miles away to a separate courtyard in the northern suburbs of Dongdu.

When Jia Xu received the "Planning Book for the Post-Liu Bei Era" prepared by Liu Bei, he was a little confused at first. What kind of plane was the Prime Minister doing?
However, the Wushuang Poison Master was not just bragging, and he quickly figured out the situation.

Liu Bei is making cuts consciously to ensure the most reliable basic base.

Even Lu Zhi and Wang Yun's personnel were excluded, and even Lu Bu and the five major business groups were excluded.

This shows that the Hope Foundation is a purer political and business combination than other political forces.

In this group, there are strong commanders, counselors and wise men who want money, people, and territory, and they control the technological and economic lifeline of the Han Dynasty.

It can be called the giant with the most complete conditions among the various political forces in the Han Dynasty.

To put it bluntly, if the shareholders of the foundation work together, it will not be difficult to overthrow the court and change the situation, let alone self-protection.

This leads to the second level of question, what is the purpose of the foundation?
After the change of the Prime Minister's Office, Liu Bei retired and retired, whether at home or overseas, which actually did not affect his decision-making power.

Therefore, as long as Liu Bei is willing, he can come back to take charge at any time, but from the bottom of his heart, Jia Xu does not think that Liu Bei will go back on his word.

Then the second level that best meets Liu Bei's needs is stability. Whether it is individual shareholders, foundations, courts and the world, they all need long-term stability.

But once Liu Bei leaves, I don't know how many careerists and powerful men will emerge, all seeking to manipulate the imperial power and control the court.

Just like the artifact described in a certain novel, the Hope Foundation is the "magic needle" for the current political system of Han Dynasty.

It is not difficult to see from the composition of the personnel that the three generations of old, middle and young people, with complete domestic and foreign territories, can ensure that they will not waver for at least 100 years.

The most interesting thing is that among the three young disciples, Cao Wan represents Bashu, and Gao Miaoniang is said to have a romantic relationship with Cao Ang.If the guess is correct, Liu Bei may want to join forces with Cao Cao to control the Sun family in Jiangdong.

Cao Cao has always implemented the policy of comprehensive Yonghua. The concepts and organizational structures of both parties are very close, and the difficulty of integrating each other is minimal.

Think of the activity of Jiangdong's secret reconnaissance guards and the news of the large-scale expansion of Wujun Arsenal.

Jia Xu had to admit that the Jiangdong Tigers were likely to embark on the road of arms expansion, and joining forces with Cao to control Sun was indeed a masterstroke.

As for the third level, it depends on how well the first level is accomplished. Everything will go well.

If things go wrong, with the support of Cao Shu's forces, the Yongzhou system can advance, attack, retreat or defend, and at least it can ensure an invincible position.

Of course, even an unparalleled counselor like Jia Xu could not guess where Liu Bei would go.

"Let's take a look!"

Unlike Jia Xu, Guo Jia believes that Liu Bei's aura of authority is too heavy, which is actually not conducive to the development of the entire team.

Liu Bei merged finances and built a new organizational structure in order to promote the further development and growth of the Yongzhou Clan.

One person cannot conquer the world. In a team with the Foundation as the main body, no one can shake Liu Bei's position for the time being.

But this model is very fragile. Once Liu Bei makes a mistake, the entire team will fall apart.

Therefore, Liu Bei took precautions. In order to train talents, he let Guan, Zhang, Jia and Guo be the core, and the group gave full play to the enthusiasm of every shareholder.

Also, unlike others, Guo Jia believes that Liu Bei will move his family to foreign lands.

Whether it's Europe, the United States, or even the South Asian subcontinent, Liu Bei can break into a new world.

The size of the world has never been revealed before. With the current volume and speed of transportation, in another ten years, it will take less than half a year to go to the Mediterranean to drink wine.

It is difficult to accept such a long wait for all government orders and military actions.

Therefore, if supervision is relaxed, foreign countries that appear to be submissive to the Han will jump out and rebel in a minute.

Based on the intelligence sent back from the outside world, it was found that the United States, Australia, and the African continent all belonged to the semi-savage tribal period and were not suitable as bases.

Mediterranean civilization is not much different from the Han Dynasty ten years ago, and it is much easier to accept new culture.

To sum up, the area west of Parthia on the east coast of the Mediterranean is called the Central and Western Region, which is extremely important in a strategic sense.What's more, a large amount of oil resources have been discovered in the desert over there, which is Liu Bei's most important strategic material.

"So, the Lord will settle down in the Midwest?"

August sixteenth.

Early in the morning, Liu Hui received a notice from the guard that Mr. Zhang was riding alone.

"You idiot, why don't you invite the Third Master to come in?"

The three households of Liu, Guan, and Zhang are well connected, and there is no need for the female relatives to avoid it. Are you out of your mind for stopping the third master?

The guard quickly whispered in his ear, and Liu Hui's face looked very exciting.

Who said the third master is a rough man?

Isn't this just a bitter trick?
Despite the internal slander, Liu Hui still did not dare to neglect and hurried to the courtyard gate.

"Oh my, Third Master, what are you doing?"

Zhang Fei, a dark-skinned man with a dark face, bare his upper body, knelt in front of the door with a bundle of thorn sticks tied on his back, imitating the allusion of bearing thorns to plead guilty.

When Zhang Fei saw Liu Hui, he no longer spoke as loudly as before, and asked in a sincere tone: "I made a mistake, and I came here to apologize to my brother!"

Liu Hui took a step further and asked in a low voice: "Third Master, we are all one family. How will outsiders think of doing this?"

Zhang Fei said: "I tied them up after entering the guard post, no one saw them."

Liu Hui laughed angrily. Is the Third Master really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?
But as a servant, Liu Hui asked and persuaded, but Zhang Fei still insisted, so he could only respond truthfully.

"Third Master, wait a moment, I'll go in and report."

Cai Yan and Liu Bei had already gotten up. After hearing the butler's report, Cai Yan frowned slightly and then said, "After all, we are brothers, so we are the first to come."

Liu Bei smiled faintly and said, "Yide is a straightforward man. Let me go and take a look."

Cai Yan knows that the foundation's affairs will definitely become explosive news. In the recent period, it is estimated that the family will not be able to calm down.

No, go to Ajaan's family's yard to take shelter and save yourself the trouble.

Liu Bei came to the door. Before he could say anything, Zhang Fei shouted: "Brother, it's all my fault. I admit it if you need to be beaten or punished! But you must not leave!"

Liu Bei pulled off the binding rope, threw away the thorns, and asked slowly: "You didn't stay in the camp, and you came here to do this. Who taught you?"

Zhang Fei was startled and hurriedly defended: "Brother, no one taught me. I just discussed it with the people in the house and came here today to let you vent your anger."

Let this guy put on his clothes and lead him into the other courtyard and into the dining room.

"You didn't have breakfast? Let's deal with the two of them with me."

"Okay, listen to big brother."

He didn't talk about food or sleep, Liu Bei slowly ate fried egg-vegetarian steamed buns and drank millet porridge.

Zhang Fei ate the specially prepared fried ham, meat buns, fried chicken and white rice with salt and pickles, and it was like a storm.

After Zhang Fei burped, Liu Bei stood up and pulled him into the pavilion.

"Tell me, what do you think?"

Zhang Fei asked pitifully: "Brother, are you planning to leave Dongdu?"

"Well, it's true. I haven't figured out the specific location yet. What's wrong?"

Zhang Fei said carelessly: "Brother, I don't want any shares, I want to follow you and conquer the world!"

Liu Bei laughed and said: "What do you mean by conquering the world? Yide is overthinking it. I am traveling around the world, enjoying the mountains and rivers, not fighting and killing."

"Why? Why don't you become prime minister and go sightseeing?"

"Yide, tell me, who do you want to be?"

Zhang Fei asked doubtfully: "What's the point of asking? I will be my brother's younger brother for the rest of my life!"

Liu Bei shook his head and asked, "What did Yide think before he met us?"

Met before?

Zhang Fei became confused. That must have happened a long time ago, right?

I really can't remember for a while.

Liu Bei asked inspiredly: "At that time, Yide was selling meat, I was buying straw sandals, and Yunchang was working as a coolie, but you and Yunchang were still ready to take action!"

Ah, right, at that time I was selling meat in a butcher shop on West Market Street.

At that time, the sky was blue, the water was clear, and everyone was smiling.

That day, I was preparing to fight with my second brother, and my eldest brother showed up carrying high-defense straw sandals...

Ten years have passed so quickly!

By the way, I wanted to buy a yamen Dangdang, who would shout and drink all day long in a majestic manner!
