Lin Yunpu's words can be described as sincere, sincere, and heartfelt, and there is a convincing persuasiveness.

If it is an ordinary person, after seeing Lin Yunpu's performance, I am afraid that they will subconsciously believe it.

It's a pity that Zhao Junchen won't believe it at all.

Zhao Junchen is a pure politician, and politicians and "villains" are often synonymous, not only suspicious, but also never afraid to speculate on others with the greatest malice, so Zhao Junchen never believes in the "friendship" in the mouth of businessmen, whether the businessman is a Hui merchant or a Jin merchant; Of course, Zhao Junchen never believed in the "friendship" of other politicians, whether they came from a clear stream or a turbid stream.

Because, as Zhao Junchen said before, whether it is officialdom or shopping malls, interests are paramount, and the so-called "friendship" is also gathered and dispersed because of profit; In other words, the word "friendship" is just a synonym for the combination of interests of both parties, and once the interests are exhausted, then "friendship" will also be exhausted.

In Vanity Fair, pure friendship without any entanglement of interests is not nothing, but it is rare and difficult to last, and the most important thing is that those businessmen and politicians who value love over profit, although their hearts are admirable, but most of them will usher in the fate of being betrayed and eliminated because of this, and they will not end well - this world is so cruel, the so-called "good will be rewarded", in fact, is just a self-consolation.

Huizhou and Zhejiang businessmen want to "make friends" with Zhao Junchen, naturally only because of the gains and losses of interests. As for "admiration" and "admiration", they are just high-sounding reasons - in fact, what reputation does Zhao Junchen have that makes them feel admired and admired? A reputation that will make money? Or the reputation of corrupt officials? If it's the former. It's a possibility.

If one day, Zhao Junchen loses his power and can no longer bring benefits to these Huizhejiang businessmen, then Zhao Junchen can be sure that these Huizhejiang businessmen will definitely abandon themselves at the first time, and they may even fall into the ground.

The other way around, of course. If the merchants of Huizhou and Zhejiang lose their wealth and influence one day, then Zhao Junchen will never take a second look at them, so Zhao Junchen is not qualified to accuse others.

-- You can share wealth and prosperity. But they can't share weal and bene, they are both using each other and calculating each other, which is probably the "friendship" in the eyes of officials and businessmen.

*

For the above concepts, Zhao Junchen not only has a deep understanding, but also deeply agrees. I have been practicing it. So after Zhao Junchen heard Lin Yunpu's words, he just felt that Lin Yunpu's acting skills were good, but he didn't believe it at all.

In fact, Zhao Junchen did not hide his thoughts, and after hearing Lin Yunpu's statement, he just looked at Lin Yunpu with a smile and meaning, and did not say anything.

Zhao Junchen is a pure politician, and Lin Yunpu is also a pure businessman. The values of the two are very similar, in a way. It can be said that there is a heart and a point.

Therefore, after only seeing Zhao Junchen's expression, Lin Yunpu immediately understood Zhao Junchen's thoughts, and knew that his beautiful words could not fool Zhao Junchen.

In fact, if it weren't for Zhao Junchen's performance at the Returning Ceremony, Lin Yunpu would not have said such a thing.

It seems that although this Lord Zhao is a little nostalgic, it is not easy to gain his trust and friendship, and it will take a long time to pay and manage...... Now that I have only met him for the first time, I suddenly started from the point of friendship, but I thought things were too simple. ”

In the middle of dark thoughts, Lin Yunpu also quietly changed his method, began to base himself on actual interests, and said again: "Of course, if you can give us Huizhou and Zhejiang businessmen a chance, we and other Huizhou and Zhejiang businessmen will never be stingy with returns, as long as the Huizhou and Zhejiang merchants can participate in the reform of Sichuan salt, then the profits obtained by the Huizhou and Zhejiang merchants in Sichuan salt in the future will be extracted and given to adults for free!" In addition, although we and the Hui and Zhejiang Merchants Gang are powerless to influence the center of the imperial court, we still have some influence in the territory of Nanzhili, so if you want to do something in Nanzhili, we and the Hui and Zhejiang Merchants Gang will also fully support it, and will never have any reservations. ”

Hearing Lin Yunpu finally say the hole cards, a trace of surprise flashed in Zhao Junchen's eyes.

Before, Zhao Junchen had predicted that in order to participate in the rectification of Sichuan Yan, the Hui and Zhejiang Merchants Gang would inevitably spend a lot of effort to buy themselves, but he did not expect that the sincerity of the Hui and Zhejiang Merchants Gang would be much greater than he imagined.

You must know that after the Jin merchants got the permission to develop Sichuan salt, they only promised to give Zhao Junchen half of the profits-this is already a lot, after all, the Jin merchants still need to invest the profits in reproduction, and they also need a large amount of silver to buy all kinds of forces, and the profits that eventually fall into their pockets may not be too much-and the Hui and Zhejiang merchants have doubled the benefits in one go, which is naturally amazing.

In addition, the Hui and Zhejiang Merchants Gang promised to fully cooperate with Zhao Junchen's actions within the scope of Nanzhili, which means that the political position of the Hui and Zhejiang Merchants Gang has completely moved closer to Zhao Junchen, almost equivalent to taking refuge, and this determination surprised Zhao Junchen even more.

It can be said that the return given to Zhao Junchen by the Hui Zhejiang Merchant Gang has exceeded the benefits that Zhao Junchen gave them.

However, after thinking about it, Zhao Junchen also understood the wishful thinking of the Huizhejiang Merchant Gang.

After getting such great benefits and support, Zhao Junchen will inevitably be difficult to give up the Hui and Zhejiang Merchant Gang, so that Zhao Junchen will become the spokesperson of the Hui and Zhejiang Merchant Gang in the center of the imperial court, and the Hui and Zhejiang Merchant Gang will once again gain the ability to influence the decision-making of the imperial court.

"It's easy to calculate, the Huizhejiang Merchant Gang has a long-term vision than I imagined, but although the benefits they give are beyond my initial imagination, they are still a little worse than what I really want...... Moreover, I am not going to be their spokesperson in the court......"

Between thoughts, Zhao Junchen suddenly smiled, and finally stopped being silent, and slowly spoke: "Your sincerity is very strong, and I am indeed a little tempted." It's a pity that I still don't plan to involve you in the rectification of Sichuan Salt Affairs, and we don't have anything to talk about in this matter. ”

After hearing Zhao Junchen's reply, the reactions of the three big businessmen in Nanzhili in front of him were different.

Among them, Bai Mingyu raised his eyebrows, anger flashed in his eyes, while Dai Fengfu looked slightly flustered and a little overwhelmed, as for Lin Yunpu, he was much calmer, but he frowned slightly, and asked, "Oh?" My lord, why do you reject us so much? I ask myself if you have never offended an adult, but I wonder if you can explain the reason to us? ”
