"Just a few minutes ago, I received a call from Governor Edward, and he told me a very interesting thing on the phone, he said that someone had broken into his vacation home and asked him to help deal with the Addams family, and that he had united the Lowell and Lawrence families, and that the three families would sit down together in the future to discuss the problem of dealing with the Addams family, who do you say would be so bold?"

Lawrence sat in his chair, looked at Zhou Ming meaningfully and said, although Lawrence's tone was very calm, but in Zhou Ming's ears, it was tantamount to a bombshell, which made his heart ache up.

Saying that he is a bank manager and the bank that he is the son-in-law of a parliamentarian, there is a biggest loophole in this inspirational story, that is, the asymmetry of information, because the parliamentarian needs the son-in-law of a bank manager, and the bank also needs a son-in-law manager of the councilor.

Zhou Ming's mind turned rapidly, but before he could come up with a solution, Lawrence continued: "In front of Governor Edward, you said that you have united the Lowell and Lawrence families, so now you come to me, and you also want to say that you have united the Kendini and the Lowell family, and finally go to Lowell's side and say that you have united me and the Kendini family, right?"

Zhou Ming looked at Lauren and still didn't speak, and Lawrence smiled: "I can't help but say that your idea of deception is very bold, but you also think that we are a little too retarded, right? Don't you know that in the Brighton consortium, several of our families are intermarried with each other, and once there is any news, it is easy for our families to know all of them?"

"Of course I know, and that's why I do it. Zhou Ming said.

Lawrence was stunned for a moment, Zhou Ming's reaction was obviously beyond his expectations, originally he thought that after he exposed his little clever tricks, he should be very overwhelmed to deny and explain, how could he be so calm? Could it be that he really knew?

Under Lawrence's gaze, Zhou Ming was actually very nervous, his hands and feet were cold and stiff, and his heart was beating very fast, but at the same time, Zhou Ming was also very clear that in this situation, he must not show his timidity.

Facing Lawrence's stunned look, Zhou Ming knew that he had a chance to gamble, so he took a light breath and said, "I know that you don't believe it, Mr. Principal, but to be reasonable, I don't mean to believe it." ”

Lawrence sneered: "I hope you don't play these tricks in front of me anymore, because it's useless." ”

Actually, I don't think that's the point, if you keep being clever, Mr. Headmaster, you're going to have a very big deviation. Zhou Ming said.

"Really?" Lawrence said to Zhou Ming as he seemed to sit leisurely in his chair, "Please go on, I would like to hear what music you can spit out from this mouth." ”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Headmaster, but I'm not Beethoven, so I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. ”

Zhou Ming threw out such a sentence first, and then picked up his mobile phone and put it on the table: "Compared to the Lawrence family who controls Harvard University, I am not rich, but I still have a mobile phone, or even people like me have a mobile phone, then Mr. President, you will definitely have a mobile phone, through the mobile phone, what I said to Governor Edward, only need to press a few number keys, and it can be transmitted to you." ”

Lawrence shrugged: "That's true, so your bet can easily fall short." ”

"I think I need to reiterate that I'm not making any bets, I'm not going to do anything with lies, and now that I'm thinking that Governor Edward will call you, I'm sure I'm going to put my hopes in that illusory possibility. Zhou Ming said, "If you continue to dwell on this issue, Mr. Principal, it will be a huge deviation, and you will miss the point at all." ”

"What's the point?" Lawrence asked.

"On the issue of alliances and against the Addams family, of course. Zhou Ming said, "As the center of the Brighton consortium, the Addams family has controlled the consortium for more than 300 years, which is very unfair to your three families, but the Adams family is deeply rooted, and none of your three families can compete with it alone, even if Kendini becomes the president of the United States and brings the family to the top, it still can't be shaken." ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Ming paused for a moment before continuing: "The tragedy of the Kendini family shows that Adams does not allow anyone to challenge his authority, but how can development avoid the challenge? So there is the current result, the Lowell and Lawrence families can't shrink, and the Kendini family plummets, but you are also a member of the Brighton consortium, why should you be pressed under the body of the Addams family? There is no reason for this. ”

"Now that you need to challenge the Addams family, and at the same time you need to unite to fight against it, is the reason for this unity still so important?" Zhou Ming asked.

Lawrence was stunned again, he looked at Zhou Ming blankly, and his heart was set off by a storm.

Zhou Ming stretched out his hand and pointed out the window: "Over there is the Charles River, which is the mother river of this Brighton, Cambridge is in the upper reaches of the river, and Brighton is in the lower reaches of the river, why is it easier to transport things from Cambridge to Brighton?"

"Because the river flows from Cambridge to Brighton. Lawrence replied with Zhou Ming's words.

"That's it, there is an old saying in our China called pushing the boat along the water, which means pushing the boat in the direction of the current, it will be easy to push, Mr. Principal, do you understand what I mean?" Zhou Ming asked.

Regarding Zhou Ming's question, Lawrence first nodded and then immediately shook his head.

Zhou Ming smiled, and then said: "Actually, it's easy to understand, first of all, your three families need to fight against the Addams family, but for some reason, you can't unite as a result of mutual suspicion, and now that I have appeared, I and the Addams family are destined to stand on opposite sides, so I can act as this intermediary and unite you." ”

"If I were you, Mr. Headmaster, I would definitely not expose all this, but pretend that I don't know anything to promote this alliance, and finally deal with the Addams family together, because in this story I am the current, and the matter of dealing with the Addams family is a boat in itself, and you only need to push it from behind. Zhou Ming said.

"Push the boat?" Lawrence muttered the word, "but I did it when you said so, doesn't that seem too child's play?"

Zhou Ming chuckled, and then said helplessly: "I really feel puzzled, Mr. Lawrence, how did you become the president of Harvard, did you rely on the blessing of the family? Otherwise, why do I still miss the point after saying so much?"

"The point?" Lawrence looked up at Zhou Ming blankly.

"Tell me, Mr. Principal, do you hate the Addams family, do you want to overthrow him and lead your family to glory?" Zhou Ming suddenly asked.

Zhou Ming's words seemed to touch a fragile nerve in Lawrence's heart, and he immediately replied: "Of course I want to overthrow the Addams family, that damn family, always looks high-minded, you must know that the bank we control in our consortium is surnamed Brighton, not Adams, I hope Lawrence is the first!"

"Then Mr. Principal, you just have doubts about your own ability, do you think that if you agreed, you were deceived by me, and you will be at my mercy in the future, right?" Zhou Ming asked again.

"I don't think so, I admit that you have a lot of courage, but courage and ability are not necessarily related, and you don't have the ability to manipulate me!" Lawrence said confidently.

"So," Zhou Ming spread his hands, "Mr. Principal, what are you still hesitating about?"

Faced with this question, Lawrence suddenly fell silent, Zhou Ming knew that he was doing a fierce ideological struggle, so he didn't bother him at this time, just quietly waited for the result.

At this moment, Zhou Ming felt that the air in the entire office was almost stagnant, Zhou Ming also held his breath, and his heart was almost raised to his throat.

Time passed minute by minute, Zhou Ming couldn't perceive how much time had passed, and when he finally felt that he was about to forget to breathe, Lawrence on the other side finally nodded: "I think I understand, I can act as if nothing happened, as long as you can convince the people of the Lowell family that the alliance will deal with the Addams family together, it is not impossible." ”

Getting this answer, Zhou Ming's heart was full of ecstasy, and he immediately wanted to howl: Damn, this b has made me finish it perfectly, it's so witty and exciting!

Zhou Ming couldn't help but be ecstatic, because he really planned to interpret the story according to that story, but it was only later that Lin Muqing's reminder made him worried, but he was completely unprepared, until he arrived in front of Lawrence and heard that he really had a phone call with Governor Edward, so he wanted to say something in a hurry, but he didn't really want to convince him.

If Zhou Ming was in a room where no one was at the moment, he would definitely be swaying wildly, but since Lawrence was still in front of him, this B still had to be installed to the end.

So Zhou Ming said: "But there is a problem here, that is, the phone call between Mr. Chancellor and Governor Edward. ”

"You're worried that since I've spoken to Governor Edward on the phone, he won't trust our alliance, right?" Lawrence asked Zhou Ming, Zhou Ming nodded yes, Lawrence smiled, "Actually, you don't have to worry about that, because I didn't say much to Governor Edward on the phone, so your worries don't exist." ”

This answer surprised Zhou Ming, but thinking about it, even if two ordinary businessmen don't talk too much, they will always leave room for themselves, let alone these two families.

The people who can become the president of Harvard and the governor of Massachusetts can never be generals, they must have their own set of philosophies, and they will not talk nonsense like children, so even if they get something very unexpected to him, he will not directly veto, but will always habitually leave himself some room to turn around.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, they originally planned to unite with each other, and they just appeared at this time.

"In that case, I'm relieved. Zhou Ming said and stood up, "I will go to the Lowell family immediately, with Mr. Lawrence and Mr. Edward, I hope you don't mind." ”

Lawrence shook his head with a smile and said, "Since I've already decided, I definitely won't mind anything, but the Lowell family is different from me and Kendeni, you need to go to Lowell City to meet the real person in charge, and the one in MIT is just a tease." ”

"I understand Mr. Lawrence, thank you very much. ”

After thanking Lawrence, Zhou Ming left the office, and Lawrence sat in his chair and watched Zhou Ming leave, until the door was closed again, Lawrence muttered: "What he said is right, but why do I have a feeling of being deceived?"
