Listening to the double questioning of the Sea Emperor and Hu Yuanzhi, Duan Long was a little stunned for a while. The plan he has in hand was carefully prepared by Ye Ji, and he has studied it carefully, it stands to reason that except for some details of the problem, the big framework should be deployed very well, why does Hu Yuanzhi now say that he is missing something really important, and even that is the key to an alliance?

However, the Sea Emperor and Hu Yuanzhi will definitely not be playing tricks on him, so I'm afraid what they said is really good, and there is really one most important thing missing in this planning book that Duan Long organized. And at this moment, after he pondered for a while, he secretly thought in his heart: Even if I have a mistake, it stands to reason that Mr. Ye should not have it, he is clever and well-arranged, and there has never been any problems, how can there be a most critical question that has not been written? What's going on?

Seeing Duan Long's silent appearance, the Sea Emperor and Hu Yuanzhi glanced at each other, and then the former chuckled and said, "It seems that the child has not understood some things." Okay, Duan Long, I'll ask you, what should the alliance look like in your eyes? Or what do you think the so-called alliance should be used for? ”

Hearing the Sea Emperor's question, Duan Long did not rush to answer, but began to think about this matter in his mind. Originally, he had an answer in his heart, but when he was asked by these two people, he suddenly felt that his answer would be wrong. Looking at his appearance, Hu Yuanzhi chuckled lightly and said: "Say whatever you want, say what you think, and we can only discuss it when you say it." ”

Hearing Hu Yuanzhi say this, Duan Long glanced at the Sea Emperor, and saw that the latter also nodded at him to indicate that Hu Yuanzhi was right, Duan Long pondered for a while, then took a deep breath, and then said: "The alliance in my heart may be a little superficial, to put it bluntly, in my opinion, the meaning of the alliance is that several friends join hands and then develop together." ”

Listening to Duan Long's words, the Sea Emperor and Hu Yuanzhi glanced at each other, and then the former chuckled and asked, "That's right, why hesitate?" Actually, that's what the alliance is all about. However, there are many ways to understand what you are talking about, so I hope you can go into more detail about how you can work together to develop together. ”

Listening to the Sea Emperor's words, Duan Long pondered for a moment before he spoke: "I think that the main significance of the alliance is still in development, economic development, power development, business development, and so on. That is to say, after the alliance, each has to come up with a part of the benefits to exchange with each other, give me some of your business, and give you some of the business that I think is suitable for you, and then you feel that there are plans and benefits that are suitable for my development, just help me fight for it, in the same way, I will also help you, and then jointly improve each other's strength, well, that's it to put it simply. ”

Listening to Duan Long's words, the Sea Emperor and Hu Yuanzhi were silent for a moment, and then they both smiled helplessly. And Hu Yuanzhi smiled and smiled, and said: "I said boy, when you were in the sword camp, I knew that you and Yang Zhao were in charge of discussing business, so you were not responsible for how to operate this aspect, right?" You don't know what an alliance is at all, your theory will not let anyone improve their strength, it will only make the members of the major alliances drag each other down, and in the end, they will collapse without others attacking. ”

"What?"

Listening to Hu Yuanzhi's words, Duan Long was a little dumbfounded for a while. Could it be that the alliance theory that I have always thought was right is really such a child's play? And looking at him dumbfounded, after the Sea Emperor chuckled, he said: "Let me explain it to you, Duan Long, it seems that you are indeed more suitable to be a reckless person, haha, just kidding." ”

Saying this, the Sea Emperor brought over a few cups filled with water, then placed them on the table, and then said: "The so-called alliance has such a core principle that has remained unchanged for thousands of years, that is, there must be no loss, that is, you can't let the water in your cup be less. ”

"What? Absolutely no losses? How can there be such a principle if you don't give where you get in return? Could it be that all those who engage in alliances come here like this? ”

Listening to Duan Long's words, the Sea Emperor chuckled, then took out a glass of water and pushed it in front of Duan Long, and then continued: "A glass of water is full, you are in order to have another glass of water after the alliance, right?" But after you found out that you not only didn't have much of the alliance, but you also had less water of your own, then I ask you, what is the point of your alliance? To put it bluntly, isn't the alliance just to increase interests, so once there is a loss of interests, it means that this alliance is meaningless at all. I have a glass of water on my own, and the alliance with you has become half a glass of water, what am I trying to do? ”

Hearing the Sea Emperor say this, Duan Long pondered for a moment before frowning and said, "But a strong enemy is coming, if we don't form an alliance, this half glass of water will be gone, so do we also have to maintain this principle?" ”

"Yes, this principle must not be broken", listening to Duan Long's words, the Sea Emperor was unmoved, and continued: "You may think that a strong enemy is coming, and our alliance is for self-preservation, so there will definitely be losses. Well, let me ask you, if the so-called strong enemy invites your alliance to join, and tells them that there is no loss after the alliance with them, and it can go from a glass of water to two glasses, how do you think your alliance will choose? Is it necessary for them to lose their own interests in order to protect themselves? ”

Hearing the Sea Emperor say this, Duan Long was speechless for a while. Yes, it's right to think about it this way, the alliance is to become stronger, and if the interests are lost, why bother? And looking at Duan Long's appearance, the Sea Emperor sucked hard, and the cups in front of Duan Long returned to the pile of cups, and then he picked up a few cups and poured some water on each other, during which many of them spilled on the table. And Duan Long was very puzzled by his behavior.

"According to what you just said, the alliance is that you give me a little water, I give you a little water, and then you see someone else with water, so you leave me a little bit, and in the end, you have the opportunity to find that your interests are still less. Because in the process of pouring water on each other, there will be a part of the loss. That's why your theory, we say that it is simply dragging down the major alliances. If you can't figure this out, then Duan Long, no matter how strong your ally is, is still useless. Because you still don't realize that most critical place. ”

Hearing the Sea Emperor say this, Duan Long raised his eyebrows, and after a moment of silence, he stared at those water cups for a while, and then said: "The most critical point is how to make these water cups not have to pour water into each other to lose benefits, but also get new water together, right?" ”

"Very good, that's the key", said this, the Sea Emperor gave a thumbs up, and then said: "The son can be taught, and you understand quickly." That's right, Duan Long, this is the most important issue you ignore, and it is also the most critical place of an alliance. No alliance is created, it must be to study how to make everyone's interests develop together, rather than thinking about the loss of interests from the beginning, you know this, well, let me ask you again, the core key of an alliance, how to solve it? ”

Hearing the Sea Emperor ask like this, Duan Long was a little dumbfounded for a while. Not only do not lose interests, but also get greater benefits together, how can there be such a good thing in the world? But according to the Sea Emperor's meaning, he felt that the key to an alliance was here, so Duan Long was a little incomprehensible for a while, what would this key be?

"Bang!"

Seeing that Duan Long still didn't understand, the Sea Emperor chuckled, and then took a fruit bowl with fruits from behind him, and at the same time, it was also filled with water. And after he slammed it on the table, he said to Duan Long, "This is the way to solve this key problem. ”

"Huh?"

Listening to the Sea Emperor's words, Duan Long suddenly flashed a hint of epiphany in his mind, and then he took a closer look at the fruit bowl, and after pondering for a while, he raised his eyebrows, as if he had an understanding, and said, "I understand, it's a new goal?" And it's a big goal, no member of the alliance can complete the new business by themselves, so the alliance will be formed, and then everyone will share this new benefit together under the condition of ensuring that their business is not lost, right? Ah, yes, that's what an alliance should be. ”

Hearing Duan Long say this, the Sea Emperor pondered for a moment and then chuckled and nodded, and then said, "You finally understand, it's not bad." You're right Duan Long, looking at the current major alliances, to put it bluntly, the purpose of their real alliance is not because there is a big threat, mainly because one of his members, or the leader, has discovered a new business, and it is still a big business, but he can't do it himself, so he found a few companies to do it together, and then everyone will share this new benefit together. Therefore, the most critical part of the formation of an alliance is this new big business. If you can find a business like this, and it's very tempting, you also have a written plan, and a distribution plan, trust me Duan Long, you don't even need to think about your alliance members, you just need to put out the news, and naturally someone will take the initiative to find you. ”

Hearing what the Sea Emperor said, Hu Yuanzhi also nodded, and then said: "That's right, that's why we said that your previous idea was just a reckless concept of the rivers and lakes. And in fact, everyone knows how to do big business together, how can you not know it? So, you're actually thinking about the wrong question from the beginning. I agreed to give you a chance because I admired the idea that you wanted to start an alliance, but I thought you had a good business, but I didn't expect you to put your mind on finding the members of the alliance. Although it can't be said that what you did was useless, and even if you won over Huangfu Xiao, it is a good thing, but if you don't think about the most critical thing, then your alliance still can't be formed. So Duan Long, there are actually a lot of questions you need to consider. ”

That's right, the alliance that is as strong as Blood Rain and the Unai Sect is also to open up the international market more probably, and then jointly fight against the British Cooperative Society, while small alliances such as Tianshoutang and Heiyu at that time are also to destroy Longmen and then share the power of Longmen and Jiuding, so the Sea Emperor brothers are right, the most critical point of this alliance is that there is either a public enemy, or, it can only find a greater benefit, and then it needs multi-party cooperation to share it together.

"Yes, Mr. Ye didn't write this into the planning book because I didn't mention to him that I had any good business, so he naturally didn't know. Now the allies know, but what can this business of making a lot of money together? ”
