When I walked through the door, I saw two men smiling and greeting me.

The two men walked side by side, but they could still distinguish between the main and the secondary. The man in the dominant position has gray temples, a thin body, and no more than 1.6 meters on visual inspection. His face has the unique shrewdness of Lingnan people, and at the same time, the vicissitudes of time have left a deep mark on his face like a knife and an axe.

At first glance, he was no different from an ordinary little old man. The costumes are no different from ordinary people, there are no plates and rings on their hands, and they do not wear any famous watches on their wrists. It belongs to the kind that you can't see if you throw it into the pile.

The middle-aged man who was slightly behind him by half a shoulder had a cold expression, a burly figure, and an amazing aura.

These two people are the core figures of the Dongshan Society, President Chao Guozhu, and Zhu Zebiao, one of the senior founders.

"The palace bureau is coming, and it is far away." Chao Guozhu stretched out his hand with a smile, shaking hands with Gong Jiali affectionately and greeting him, while looking at Guo Xiaozhou.

Even though Chao Guozhu was mentally prepared, he still showed an amazed gaze for Guo Xiaozhou's youth.

Gong Jiali smiled, "The president of the court has every opportunity, but a few of us are a little presumptuous to disturb!" ”

Chao Guozhu had a kind smile on the corner of his mouth, "Why bother, the palace bureau is coming, and it is shining!" ”

Gong Jiali laughed, "You are all Pengzi here, and our General Bureau is not even a thatched hut." ”

The two played haha.

Chao Guozhu greeted Fan Liwei with one hand, "Fan Ju, the last time I saw you, it was half a year ago." ”

"Hello Chao Dong! Indeed, it has been a long time since I had the pleasure of seeing you. Fan Liwei bowed halfway and stretched out his hands. Although he is still a god-like existence in front of middle-level nouveau riche like Ah Jian, he has no confidence in front of a business giant like Chao Guozhu, who stomped his feet and shook Lingnan three times.

Chao Guozhu let go of his hand and looked at Guo Xiaozhou.

Gong Jiali introduced: "President Chao, this is my eldest brother, Guo Xiaozhou, executive vice mayor of Wujiang City. ”

He also introduced Guo Xiaozhou: "Brother Guo, this is the chairman of the board of directors of Fulin Group, the chairman of the Dongshan Association, and the chairman of Chao Guozhuchao. ”

Chao Guozhu smiled very politely and said: "I have heard of a great name for a long time, and we are a rising political star in our country. The official who knows the economy best. Welcome to Yangcheng. ”

Guo Xiaozhou said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The economy is a gimmick that can't stand scrutiny." Besides, no one can say in front of you that they know the most about economics. ”

Everyone laughed.

The next round is Zhu Zebiao and the three of them took turns shaking hands and greetings.

Compared with the sea without waves in the Chaoguo Pillar, Zhu Zebiao is like a clever unsheathed sword, with eyes, movements, demeanor, and tone, all with edge.

As far as this round of appearances is concerned, Guo Xiaozhou failed to see any hints of inclination in Chao Guozhu. However, he could feel Zhu Zebiao's perfunctory attitude.

This at least proves that Dongshan will not be optimistic about him. Even if Chao Guozhu agreed to meet with him, it is estimated that it is more due to Gong Jiali's face.

So what did he do to convince Chao Guozhu Zhu Zebiao?

A long time ago, Guo Xiaozhou knew that to convince the other party, there is only one way in the world, which can make anyone do anything.

Of course, you can use a revolver and point it at a person's chest, and the person will obediently give you the watch. You can use the method of intimidation to fire—before you turn around—to get someone hired to work with you. You can also use whipping or intimidation to get a child to do what you need him to do. However, these clumsy methods have extremely unfavorable reactions.

The only way to get someone to do anything is to give him what he needs and make your own business his.

So what do Dongshan Hui and Chaoguo Zhu Zebiao need? A dual resource of politics and economics? Or something else? After he or Xiong Wentao ascended to the position, even if he did not tilt, he should not be hurt and lost.

In other words, whoever can give them the most will support him.

and Chao Guozhu and Zhu Zebiao, one represents the older generation of business leaders in the association; One represents the new generation of business tycoons.

The opinions of the two of them can determine the direction of the Dongshan Society.

Just Guo Xiaozhou's observation of a few minutes. He felt that Chao Guozhu was more difficult to convince than Zhu Zebiao.

Because the environment can not only change a person's inner quality, but also determine a person's appearance and temperament, and even personality traits. Tender little wife: President, come and try it

Whether this person has gone through vicissitudes or is carefree, you can see the clues from his appearance. For example, Chao Guozhu, who was born into a fisherman's family when he was a child, lived in poverty, dropped out of primary school in the fifth grade, and began his legendary business journey. So his face is depicted with some personal unique wind and frost.

And Zhu Zebiao clearly shows that he comes from a wealthy family. It is the kind of rich and noble family who was born with a golden key. Extravagant.

Then, for two people with completely different life experiences, you can't use the same method. At the very least, the same method could not be used to convince the two.

Of course, he did some research and understanding of Chao Guozhu before he came.

This well-known business leader in China has been praised many times in various reports for his outstanding personality, unique business vision, perseverance and so on.

Only through face-to-face observation can Guo Xiaozhou draw the most authentic conclusions.

Five people entered one of the courtyards of the villa.

The courtyard is very chic, which not only has the characteristics of Suzhou garden, but covers a small area, but is good at artistic conception, and is decorated and arranged in a limited space with unique artistic techniques, changing the scenery step by step, and changing endlessly.

At the same time, it also has the characteristics of Lingnan garden garden set garden, and the corridor near the pond.

Next to the pool, there is a wooden pavilion, which is hollowed out all around, and there is a huge root carved coffee table in the pavilion, and five or six mahogany chairs are antique, blending in with the surroundings.

Sitting in it, the breeze is blowing, and the tea is fragrant.

The five of them seemed to be chatting ramblingly. No one cut to the chase.

It wasn't until Fan Liwei left on the phone that Gong Jiali talked about the fall of the former mayor of Zhen City.

The old man was like a pillar of the country, and he had no intention of answering at all, so he politely invited Guo Xiaozhou to taste his treasured tea.

For the battle for the mayor of Zhen City, Chao Guozhu was of course one of the first people to know the specific news. But at various gatherings in Lingnan or China, he always laughed it off.

It's not that he doesn't care, it's not that the mayor's position is unimportant. It's just that he is already old, seventy-one years old this year. And in this world, whether it is mediocre or talented, it is difficult to compete with the flying knives of the years.

Chao Guozhu's life has gradually come to an end, although he doesn't want to admit it, but compared with Zhu Zebiao, who is sitting next to him, the passage of time and the continuous decline of energy, no amount of wealth and power can be recovered.

He is proud to be elected president four times in a row.

The next president election is two years away.

Two years later, he was 73 years old.

Even if he was cheeky and took the initiative to campaign, his friends would not agree, and they all advised him that for the sake of his body, he should enjoy it and not work too hard.

Zhu Zebiao is 43 years old this year, which is the prime of life, and the group company under his command has made great strides in recent years. It has so many branches that it covers almost all industries.

Chao Guozhu even had no doubt that if Zhu Zebiao exposed all his invisible assets, it would be impossible for the top three in Huaxia, but it would be 100% in the top ten sequence.

The most important thing is that Zhu Zebiao, who is still fit and has black hair that makes him envious, is a popular candidate for the next president.

In fact, it's his competitors.

If he's still willing to compete. Go to work. While working hard, I also enjoy the happiness of being relied on.

It's just that Chao Guozhu is not optimistic about Zhu Zebiao. He believes that Zhu Zebiao is a successful businessman, but he has not yet reached the height of a business leader.

As a business leader, some criteria are given. Punctual and efficient, bold and strong, consistent, honest, competitive, strategist, used to take responsibility, strong pressure tolerance, excellent learning ability, excellent motivation ability, ability to maximize the use and integration of resources, etc.

And Zhu Zebiao lacks several of these characteristics.

In Chao Guozhu's heart, Zhu Zebiao still needs to experience a few more years.

For example, Zhu Zebiao faced Gong Jiali's constant temptation, and he always chose to avoid him, taking care of him left and right. This is a symbol of indecisiveness. If you refuse, be honest about your attitude. In this world, no one can forgive being deceived, but they can tolerate sincere rejection.

It can be seen that Gong Jiali's face is not very good-looking. Otherworldly Undead Legion

Chao Guozhu sighed secretly. He understood Zhu Zebiao's purpose. Zhu Zebiao didn't want to take any risks, he wanted to play his cards at the last minute. On the eve of the victory and defeat between Xiong Wentao and Guo Xiaozhou.

It's a good idea to be conservative in this way.

You can hold the idea that I will not take advantage or suffer in the end.

But from the perspective of Chao Guozhu, this is a fluke mentality. This is a sign of undecisiveness, lack of strategist vision, and dare not take responsibility.

Therefore, Chao Guozhu put down the teacup and said, "Mayor Guo, the palace bureau!" The two of them have come from thousands of miles away, I shouldn't hide it, about the officialdom, as far as the business world is concerned, our Dongshan Club is not suitable for the participation period. ”

Gong Jiali's eyes lit up slightly. He is not afraid that he will not be able to convince the other party, but he is afraid that the other party will not give you any opportunity to communicate.

Guo Xiaozhou saw Zhu Zebiao carefully, and his eyes flashed with surprise.

This small detail shows that there is no unified goal within the Dongshan Society. This is an interesting aspect that deserves to be investigated.

Gong Jiali said with a smile: "Business does not leave politics, it has been the same since ancient times. In particular, the business has achieved such a height as the chairman of the court, and Zhen City is the base camp of the Dongshan Society, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the foundation. The choice of mayor not only involves tens of millions of residents, but also has a huge impact on the business elite. ”

Zhu Zebiao seemed to want to be consistent with the Chaoguo Pillar, he rushed in front of the Chaoguo Pillar and said: "If it is a matter in the business world, we will not shirk it, but the officialdom ...... IMHO, not only the borders, but also our limited capabilities. ”

Guo Xiaozhou observed that now, he suddenly found that his previous judgment had deviated. Compared with Zhu Zebiao's prevarication and refusal, it is Chao Guozhu who has more opportunities to convince him.

Then, he has to find what Chao Guozhu thinks and wants, and then prescribe the right medicine.

What does the court want from the pillars?

In general, it is nothing more than health, wealth, power, family and affection, self-esteem, and so on.

For health, Guo Xiaozhou can't do anything; wealth, Chao Guozhu will not be able to enjoy it for ten lifetimes; power, Guo Xiaozhou has almost no place to help him at present, family and affection, and he can't participate, and he still has a sense of self-respect......

What is self-respect?

Simply put, I feel like I'm important. Deeper, it can be said to be a feeling of accepting yourself and liking yourself. It is a kind of recognition and love for yourself.

It can also be used as an insecure human instinct that wants others to recognize you.

Zhu Zebiao is still having a conversation with Gong Jiali.

"When it comes to business, people often have a different understanding of it, as if business is both a means of making profits and a strategy of conspiracy; It is as if a merchant is a special kind of human being, different from officials, scholars, farmers, etc. In fact, this is all misleading by liking detailed segmentation and using microscopic separation. Zhu Zebiao smiled and said: "No matter what, business has business; Officials have official ways. These two are the parts that really need to be subdivided. ”

Undeterred, Gong Jiali said: "But there is communication between the Tao, and since ancient times, the success of business has depended on the timely grasp of information and the redistribution of resources......

To be honest, if it was just the two of them having a separate conversation, Gong Jiali couldn't wait to directly threaten, "If you don't support Brother Guo, when Brother Guo takes the position, you will be unlucky." Want to ride the wall? Why do you think you're a senior member of the central government? Qualified to ride? ”

Guo Xiaozhou has always said very little, he listened, observed, and thought.

Chao Guozhu is almost the same as him.

Guo Xiaozhou saw a disapproving expression on Chao Guozhu's face, although it was fleeting. But it was accurately captured by Guo Xiaozhou.

Chao Guozhu's expression meant that he was not satisfied with Zhu Zebiao's speech.

The question is, is he not satisfied with the person who wishes, or the point of view?

Guo Xiaozhou suddenly remembered an article he had read three days ago in Flying Sheep City.

This financial article is a financial reporter interviewing Chao Guozhu, in which he asked a very sensitive question about the successor of the president of the Dongshan Association.

At that time, Chao Guozhu didn't seem to have anything to hide, implying that he was too old and lacked energy, and he couldn't lead Dongshan Society forward at full speed, etc.

Finally, the financial reporter asked who the most likely successor was.

Chao Guozhu said a name - Zhu Zebiao.

A thought jumped into Guo Xiaozhou's heart. He seems to have found some key to convincing the Korean pillars.
