Revising the family motto is also a major responsibility of the successive heads of the business.

In fact, the revision of the family motto began with Shang Ying, and the family motto he received did not have everything for the needs of politics.

He broke his family and took out fifty gold, in order to realize his political ambitions, showing the mind of a politician.

In fact, the great man of chivalry is for the country and the people, and the real politician is not like this.

It's just that compared with heroes, they have an extra layer of risk.

Even their reputation will be criticized.

Because political matters will inevitably involve a struggle of interests, and those who have suffered losses basically do not need to think about forgiving their political opponents.

Therefore, even the most successful politicians will be slandered, and those historians will be brought away with a mixed reputation.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Shang Ying's final ending was divided by five horses.

It also shows how much he hurt those people.

Therefore, it is not surprising that for the descendants of merchants, on the one hand, they follow the family motto of their ancestors, and on the other hand, they learn lessons and adjust the corresponding family motto.

Especially in modern times, Shang Zizheng became the head of the family, he summed up the history of about 2,500 years of business, and added eight words to the eight-character family motto of the ancestor Shang Ying: "to support the government with business, and to balance the business and government."

In this way, the family motto of the businessman has now become a 16-character policy: to serve the government wholeheartedly, willing to be poor, to support the government with business, and to balance the business and government.

This is actually the essence of political economy that Shang Zizheng comprehended.

In short, without strong economic power, he would be politically useless, and without strong political support, the family's business would not be able to move forward.

Therefore, in practice, it is necessary to grasp both sides and stiffen both legs.

As the core figure of the family's business front, Shang Zishang is of course familiar with this improved family motto, and he agrees with it very much.

However, it is precisely because of the implementation of this family motto principle that the family's economic background has never been rich.

Because the expenditure on politics is very large, most of the time it is beyond the means, and the best time is to make ends meet.

Therefore, when he received the order from his eldest brother to buy a bid book with the upper limit of 1.5 billion US dollars, the sweat in his head flowed down with a bang.

In fact, the offer in front of him is his maximum, he is using all the working capital, and there are 900 million US dollars!

Movable property?

Not to mention the loss of temporary sale, even the time is too late!

Moreover, in this way, this investment must be another loss-making transaction!

In fact, he also knows that the consideration of this project is neither a real economic account nor a traditional political account, because it almost does not provide political achievements, and the calculation of political achievements is also the son of Baili Liangliu, and it has nothing to do with the eldest brother.

Not to mention the economic account, once this 1.5 billion is invested, it will be a meat bun to beat a dog, and it is a super stuffed meat bun, beating a group of hungry dogs, it is certain that the bun will go and there will be no return, and even the one who threw the bun will be eaten if it is not good!

And then there's the investment!

Business may be good, and there may even be other benefits, but that cycle is difficult to determine, the cost of a food building is at most three or five billion US dollars, and if you want to recover the investment of two billion US dollars, I am afraid that it will be enough to choke in a hundred years!

The greatest benefit is the hope of the secret of eternal life.

But that thing, at most, is a distant possibility, right?

With an unreliable possibility, I plunged into it with all my wealth, how do I feel that the eldest brother is much crazier than the ancestor?

The old ancestor only threw in fifty gold, which is said to be gold, and can hide it from me, the most outstanding merchant, it is just copper!

But what about you, big brother?

It's $1.5 billion!

Thinking of his hard work to make money, and even bending the law for personal gain, the merchant did not feel sadness from his heart, and tears poured down!

However, in public, he was afraid of losing face, and so many tears flowed into his stomach.

It was also the first time he knew that tears were so bitter that they were more bitter than bitter galls.

However, no matter how hard he is, there is no way to do it, the order of the head of the family cannot be disobeyed, and he must absolutely carry it out.

As for the difference between 900 million and 1.5 billion yuan of 600 million US dollars, I have to figure out how to do it.

Fortunately, he is not alone, he also has allies!

Although his so-called allies are not about friendship, but only about interests.

In business, it is normal to only care about interests, but if you close something else, it will be even more troublesome.

After receiving the order of the eldest brother, he had no choice but to find a way to solve the difficulties and implement them immediately, and these difficulties were all economic and his responsibility, and if he did not implement them, there would be no one else.

"Go, find me Gongzi Zhengyong, the sooner the better!"

Shang Zishang instructed his personal secretary.

As an important front of the business, Gongzi Mingxing of course attaches great importance to it, and deliberately sends the big future in the family who thinks it is safe and important.

But this man doesn't like to show his face, so he won't follow the merchant to appear in some public places, such as today, he is not there.

Shang Zishang felt that the matter was important, and he himself had to keep an eye on it here, so he sent someone to invite him.

In fact, Gongzi Zhengyong has been staring at the development here, and he knows that he must participate in decision-making, otherwise according to his understanding of Shangzi Shang, this businessman who is only smart and lacks big ideas is in charge of business, and he has already eaten peppercorns - hemp claws.

The secretary turned his head and was about to go out, but Gongzi Zhengyong had already come in.

This is a special reception room, after all, this food upstairs is the property of the merchant, and the biggest supervisor of the family must provide convenient conditions.

"I already know the order of the head of the family, I don't know what the second young man has planned?"

Time is pressing, and Childe is getting straight to the point.

"First, the orders of the head of the family can only be obeyed; second, I need 600 million yuan from the gap of 1.5 billion dollars! You also know our financial situation, and there are only 900 million when we are full. ”

The merchant is also concise and to the point, explaining the tasks that must be completed and laying out the problems faced.

"Not to mention 900 million! You underestimated the difficulties! Those 900 million yuan can only be used by you! As a big family, can you shut down all other normal industrial and commercial enterprises? Is it not enough in the future? This is absolutely not what the eldest prince meant! In my opinion, if you want to pay 1.5 billion, you need to raise at least 1 billion dollars. ”

Hearing this, the merchant snapped and gave himself a head, and sure enough, he was dizzy!

What he can really spend is the deposit he has in the bank center account!

Other deposit balances, even if they can be withdrawn urgently, cannot be moved!

"So, what's the solution?"

Shang Zishang asked urgently, just at this moment, his cold sweat flowed profusely, covering his entire face.

Childe Zhengyong's painful expression appeared.

He said in a deep voice: "In this way, I can only ask the representative of the Mitsubishi Foundation for help!"
