Chapter Twenty-Eight: Opportunity and Crisis Coexist
This confrontation with the Morgan family may be a protracted war, or it may be an unhonorable compromise, in short, no matter how this matter ends, it cannot be resolved in a hurry.
So after a moment of worry, Duanmuci regained his composure, gently blew away the tea leaves floating on the water, and Duanmuci took a sip of tea. As the taste of timeless fragrance rose on the tip of his tongue, Duanmuci's mood also returned to calm.
"This matter is very tricky, but it may not be unsolvable, not to mention that the Morgan family does not necessarily have to be wiped out, in my opinion, there should be a turning point in this matter, maybe it is still a chance, and it depends on how we grasp it."
"Opportunity?" Aslan didn't know why.
"Of course." Duanmu Ci adjusted his sitting position, "If you want to become a hero, the fastest and most effective way is to defeat another hero!" If the Duke of Wellington had not defeated Napoleon at Waterloo, then he would have been remembered by the world and future generations as a nobleman who liked to hold balls in his castle? ”
"In the same way, if we can successfully deal with the threat of the Morgan family this time, then in the eyes of outsiders, we will be labeled as 'this is the family that Morgan can't help but do.'" And this is undoubtedly the best time for us to increase our prestige! ”
Aslan nodded thoughtfully, "According to you Chinese, this is 'seeking wealth in danger'?" ”
"That's right! Do you know Li Zicheng? ”
"Yes." Aslan, who has a deep study of Chinese culture, said, "Li Zicheng was the leader of the peasant rebellion in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, and he destroyed the Zhu royal family. ”
Duanmu Ci nodded and continued, "Li Zicheng was the most powerful violent man in the world at that time, he almost ended the rule of the Han people, under his attack, the declining Ming Empire was defeated one after another, if there was any imperial general who could be defeated even with dignity under his attack, who would be reused by the emperor!" ”
"In other words, if we can have a good showdown with the Morgan family, instead of a one-touch collapse, then we can also gain the respect we can have, and we can also be seen as a 'family that can stand up to Morgan' in everyone's eyes, which may also be a blessing and a curse."
Duanmuci means that the Morgan family, as the pinnacle of the world's business pyramid, will be looked up to any family that can have an effective duel with Morgan. Just like in the era of Napoleon's sweep across Europe, if there was a noble lord who could keep his territory under Napoleon's attack, then he would definitely be given more territory by the king!
Because that was the one who could confront Napoleon, and this principle is the same today. Now the Morgan family and the Duanmu family are about to compete in an unequal posture, and at the same time, the two families will be at the same level at a certain time, which is very beneficial to the Duanmu family.
To use an inaccurate analogy, this is like a third-tier female star who has an affair with a certain super king, so this scandal may be a sad thing for the king, but it is a great joy for this third-tier female star! Because it will double her worth!
Of course, all this must be based on the Duanmu family's ability to confront the Morgan family, otherwise everything is empty talk.
Aslan frowned, "You mean, we want to take advantage of this opportunity to fight Morgan to improve our value and status." ”
"Of course." Duanmu Ci said, "Just as you president of the United States will not fight with beggars, the person who can fight against the president must at least be the secretary of state." ”
Aslan's eyes were closed, and they suddenly opened, "I understand, you're going to 'bundle sales'!" ”
Bundling means putting two or more brands together for a certain period of time, and if the identities of the two do not match, then this bundling will benefit the lower status to enhance the brand image.
There is no doubt that the Morgan family is the superior and the rest of the families are the lowest, and the duel between the two will be in favor of the lower to some extent, provided that they are qualified to take the call, of course.
Duanmu Ci showed a teachable expression, "That's right, that's it, although it's a bit disqualified, but it's also no way, when you go back, think about whether you have any chips in your hands that you can use, and if you can have more, it's a little more." ”
Then he turned his head and said to Bu Tongxun, "You will go and call the old butler in Chicago later, and say that things have changed, and Themagnificentmile will press not to sell it first, and see how the Morgan family reacts." ”
Themagnificentmile is one of Chicago's busiest shopping streets, and the City of Chicago has been trying to make a bid to buy it, and the Duanmu family is ready to accept their offer. This matter has always been managed by the old housekeeper, but recently Duanmu Ci got the news that there is another buyer who wants to buy this street, that is, the Morgan family, and it is no wonder that there were rumors that "this street is the property of the Morgan family".
This is also a bargaining chip, to see if you can get yourself a more advantageous position.
Then Duanmu Ci invited Aslan to dinner, and then resolutely refused Aslan's request to stay overnight - it's just a woman to stay overnight, what are men doing here? What's more, this man also has a super five-star hotel where he can go and stay casually! Do I need to take it myself?
After Aslan left, Duanmuci sat on the sofa and said thoughtfully, "I always feel like I've forgotten something......
Bu Tongxun took a glass of red wine and put it on the coffee table in front of Duanmu Ci, and frowned when he heard it, "Yes, I also feel as if I forgot something, it's so strange......"
Duanmu Ci thought for a while, and then waved his hand indifferently, "Anyway, there are no major events in the near future, maybe I just forgot about some small things, so I don't need to care too much." ”
Bu Tongxun nodded in agreement.
In fact, for Duanmu Ci and Bu Tongxun, the sense of existence of Aslan is really not high, and it is understandable that he forgot to send his international friend Aslan back to the hotel for a while......
At the same time......
On the cold Jingyuan Street, on the bank of the Huangpu River with the sound of the whistle, a lonely figure wandered lonely, as if thinking about something. I saw him trembling and putting his hands in his trouser pockets, touching the colorful bills, and couldn't help but look up at the sky speechlessly.
"What kind of sin have I created!"
……
……
PS: Duanmuci: Why didn't you come back to me?
Aslan: Because I don't have a face.
Duanmuci: Then how did you get back to the hotel?
Aslan roared indignantly, "I asked the hotel manager to help me pad!" Pads! ”
