More than 200 years ago, there were two brothers in Guangzhou. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Both of them are the most intelligent people in the history of mankind, and their wisdom is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. And the most terrifying thing is that between these two brothers, there is an extremely strong complementary surname.
Because of the influence of the missionaries in Guangzhou, the elder brother absorbed a lot of natural science ideas from the West, and was deeply fascinated by them, and he could always accurately predict the future direction of the world.
He firmly believes that the future is the world of science and technology, the world of invention and creation, and the era of sickles and hoes will eventually pass. And he was convinced that he would be able to capitalize on this trend.
The younger brother has absorbed a lot of traditional Chinese culture since he was a child, and he is not impressed with science and technology, and always believes that the future development of the world does not depend on how advanced the tools for human beings to open up the world are, but on the fullness of human hearts. However, the younger brother also has a talent that the elder brother cannot match, that is, he has an incredible talent in seeing people, dealing with people, and understanding people's psychology.
Later, because the elder brother had a good relationship with the foreigners, he often did some smuggling trade, and sold some new things that the Chinese people did not see to the bigwigs in Guangzhou, and at the same time sold domestic tea and silk to the foreigners, so as to make huge profits, and at the age of 20, he was already a well-known wealthy merchant in Guangzhou.
But the good times didn't last long, and soon after, this brother was framed and imprisoned because his business touched the interests of the Admiral. After paying a hefty fine, the elder brother was released from prison, and then left the city of Canton with his eighteen-year-old brother on a Portuguese ship.
The brothers followed the merchant ship around the world for nineteen years.
Nineteen years later, around 1866 A.D., the two brothers finally settled in England with the caravan they had already bought.
Nineteen years of experience have made the talents of the two brothers stronger.
During these nineteen years, the elder brother's foresight of future technological development became more terrifying, and he made a fortune with a large number of new things such as cotton spinning machines and trains, so much so that he bought the caravan he had fled.
And the younger brother, who did not earn a penny, filled his mind with all kinds of names and the achievements that these names would symbolize in the future.
Then came the golden decade.
The elder brother was a little overwhelmed by too many affairs, so he offered to give half of the shares to the younger brother and ask the younger brother to help him take care of his business all over the world. The younger brother agreed, and all the lists were in his head, and in nineteen years, he had met enough talents.
In the past ten years, the younger brother frantically recruited these talents who were not literary at the time to join his camp. As a result, in a short period of time, the two brothers' clique swelled to an incredible extent, whether it was the British East India Company, or the Spanish and Portuguese mining business in the Americas, or the French and Germans' resource trade in Africa, the spice and rubber business in Asia, and the oil and railroad in the United States. In the later period, my brother was even involved in a large number of arms business.
In order to avoid his Oriental identity, the Western world is disgusted. In the course of their business, the two brothers used complex methods of controlling shares, and they set up a variety of companies around the world, using a variety of agents.
Some of these companies are interconnected, a little bit of a separate company, but all of these companies, whether it's a rubber company, or a bank, or a railroad company, or a mining company, eventually they're going to come together into one company called Dahua. And the shareholders of this company are only two people, and that is the brothers.
Eventually, both the younger brother and the older brother began to wonder how much money they had.
However, it was at this time that the two brothers began to feel confused, and the differences in their surnames and values began to appear. The elder brother became obsessed with technological research, while the younger brother became obsessed with the spiritual transformation of human beings.
The elder brother believes that all the wealth should be used to vigorously develop science and technology, because as long as science and technology advance, nature can lead human beings to a happy life.
The younger brother, on the other hand, believed that all the wealth should be devoted to the vigorous development of spiritual culture. Because as long as there is a developed spiritual culture, the human heart can obtain true peace and tranquility.
The two brothers refused to give up to each other, but each had a 50 percent stake, and neither could make the final decision on what to do.
The two brothers stayed up like this until they died, and before they died, they each gave one of their rings for stamping to their most proud disciple.
Before that, the two of them jointly made a last word, when someone gets both ring stamps at the same time, then this person will officially get the inheritance rights of their two brothers.
When the two jointly made this will, at the cost of one million pounds per royal family, they secretly invited the royal families of Britain, Germany and other countries, and invited the most prominent families at that time, including the ten major families of the Rothschild family, to participate in the witness, which was handled by one of the most famous lawyer families in Britain at that time.
The place where the will was made was in a remote country estate in England, and the time when the will was made was 1859 A.D.
And now, among the invited royal families, only the British royal family is still there, and only three of the ten prominent families remain, the Rothschild family, the Junkers group, and the French Locke family. However, the family of lawyers who handled this will still exists, and it is still the most prestigious family of lawyers in the United Kingdom and even in the world. Seventy-five percent of the world's superfamily wills are handled by them.
Unconsciously, more than a hundred years have passed, and one of the stamps, for unknown reasons, fell into the hands of Ling Mengdie's master.
This man, who has long aspired to have two stamps all his life and build a group that surpasses the three major groups, has no interest in the love between men and women, and in the pleasures of life.
However, when he first saw Ling Mengdie, who was only nine years old, he realized that he had some kind of sick hobby in his heart. He fell in love with Ling Mengdie, who was only nine years old, and he took her as a disciple, and passed on to Ling Mengdie, the ability to observe people that he had never passed on to others in his life.
He gave Ling Mengdie a lot, but at the same time, he also asked for a lot.
At first, Ling Mengdie was only grateful to him, but at the age of thirteen, her opinion of her master instinctively changed. Because at that time, he raped her.
After the rape, he first cried desperately next to Ling Mengdie and repented, and then, he seduced her again, told Ling Mengdie the secret about the two stamps, and took out one of them to show her, telling her that after he died, he would pass this stamp to her.
Although she is only thirteen years old, Ling Mengdie is born with an extraordinary desire for power, she was immediately tempted, and she has been wronged by her master's side.
However, when his master began to show interest in Ling Xueshu and Long Guohai again, she categorically blocked his master's thoughts.
Not long after, Ling Mengdie accidentally learned that Master had a list of one hundred and thirty-six people.
At this time, Ling Mengdie began to feel that there was no need to put up with this hateful old guy anymore, and she pretended to unintentionally reveal the matter of the stamp and list to Senior Brother Fang Lingzhu.
Then, everything was as she expected.
Two thousand years later, when Fang Lingzhu accompanied her master to Nanyang, she finally attacked him and forced him to hand over the stamps and lists.
Prior to this, Fang Lingzhu had made full preparations, and he had prepared all kinds of torture in advance on a plantation in Nanyang. Although this person with this seal had an extremely intelligent mind and an extremely strong will, he never imagined that the eldest disciple, who had always been cowardly, would suddenly become so cruel.
After holding on to the day, he finally couldn't stand the torture anymore, and finally confided in the place where the list and stamps were stored.
After that, Fang Lingzhu killed him, however, he didn't get the list and stamp. Because when he went to get the list and stamp, all he saw was Ling Mengdie smiling, and a guard with loaded guns behind him.
Fang Lingzhu immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, but Ling Mengdie let him go, but sent someone to monitor his movements for twenty hours.
There were only two reasons why Ling Mengdie let go, first, she was not yet twenty years old at the time, her heart was not hard enough, even for the master who had brought her shadows, she couldn't bear to attack directly, and wanted to fake Fang Ling Zhu. Therefore, she can't kill the senior brother who has always been good to her. Second, that list was a super password, she couldn't unlock it, she wanted Fang Lingzhu to help her unlock it.
As a result, Fang Lingzhu returned to Shanghai and began to make a shrunken turtle. His performance of shrinking the turtle was so successful that Ling Mengdie believed that he no longer posed any threat, so she gradually gave up the idea of killing him.
Of course, the reason why Ling Mengdie has not killed Fang Lingzhu for six years has a lot to do with the second reason just mentioned, that is, I hope that one day when it really can't work, I can ask Fang Lingzhu to help unlock the password list.
And in the past six years, Fang Lingzhu has also been very smart to cooperate with Ling Mengdie in all aspects, but he did not help her solve the list. Because he knew that once he knew the contents of the list, even if Ling Mengdie didn't want to kill him, he had to kill him.
But just now, in the sound of Ling Mengdie's gunshots, everything was over.
As Ling Mengdie said, Long Tianxiang's death buried the last bit of pity and compassion in her heart.
