"Brother Ling, is there a convenient place to talk here?" James whispered in Ling Tingzhen's ear.

"Of course, but what does Brother Zhan want?" Ling Tingzhen was very satisfied with James's anxious appearance now, but he still had to take his "square steps" and play his "Tai Chi".

James scolded "damn it." in his heart, but his mouth still matched Ling Tingzhen's rhythm, and said, "If you discuss, Brother Ling will take care of it." ”

Seeing that James even used "take care of a lot" because he was in a hurry, Ling Tingzhen felt that the time had come, so he stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture, letting James into the innermost screen of the box. It was originally a row of wine racks, rising to the ceiling. I saw Ling Tingzhen press a few times on the wine shelf, and a secret door appeared. I'm afraid this is a secret that only the Ling family's own family will know.

As soon as the secret door opened, James followed Ling Tingzhen into it with understanding, and then the secret door closed, and the secret door isolated the sound outside, and once again reverted to a red wine rack, as if nothing had happened just now. The originally dim lights were all lit up the moment the door closed, James carefully observed this room, and at this moment the decoration inside was more like a study, making James guess whether this was a place where the head of the Ling family had a secret meeting with others.

"This was the place where my grandfather and the master brewer discussed the secret recipe of winemaking, and it was not intentionally made into a secret room." Looking at James's expression, Ling Tingzhen hurriedly explained.

"It's okay, it's okay, but it's a good place to talk." James didn't want to know anything about the Ling family, he just wanted to achieve the purpose of this trip as soon as possible.

"Brother Zhan urgently needs a place to talk, isn't this trip not just for charity?" Ling Tingzhen asked.

James said in his heart that you are not talking nonsense, but he still said to Ling Tingzhen elegantly, "There is no one who really knows me than Brother Ling." "Don't look at James's language with its own accent, but all kinds of idioms and slang from country C can be said to come out of your mouth." I'm going to get straight to the point, and I'm having a headache about investing in your country right now.

"Let me guess what gives you a headache." Ling Tingzhen rubbed his hands, pretended to think for a while, and then said, "Is it to increase investment or withdraw, right?" ”

James nodded again and again, and praised, "It's really worthy of Brother Ling, and you can guess it." ”

"Don't worry, I guessed that Brother Zhan wants to increase investment, but he is worried about risks, right?" Ling Tingzhen continued, seeing James's round eyes, he showed a satisfied smile.

"How did you ......" James simply suspected that Ling Tingzhen was a roundworm in his stomach, and the discussion in the family about the market in the Ling family's home country only started this month, and only some people in the clan knew, how could Ling Tingzhen be unpredictable.

Ling Tingzhen didn't want James to have too much conjecture, so he quickly said, "Hasn't Brother Zhan often chatted with me online about some domestic customs recently?" But I have been talking about the market environment since I turned around, so I have some speculation. ”

James listened to this answer and nodded, he had indeed asked Ling Tingzhen some questions about his country's customs and market environment before. Being able to infer so much from these understated questions of his own, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Ling Tingzhen was worthy of being the youngest heir of the Ling family, and this sensitivity and reasoning ability were beyond the reach of ordinary people.

In fact, Ling Tingzhen did much more than James thought, as early as he had insight into James's kindness to country C, he began to plan how to use his important position in the Roald family to seek more help for the development of country C. So from that moment on, Ling Tingzhen used the "Sky Watching" system to monitor the internal movements of the Roald family, and it can be said that he can learn about the latest movements in the family almost at the same time as James. In Ling Tingzhen's whole plan, it is hoped that James can firmly stand on the side of the investment faction through good persuasion, which will not only be beneficial to Ling's development in China, but also provide assistance for the overall technological upgrading of country C. As for Ling Tingzhen's innumerable things in order to achieve the purpose of being good and seductive, moisturizing things silently, there are countless things: arranging a special mentor for James in the Cultural Academy, and passing on to him the far-sighted policies and colorful customs of country C; Arrange some staff around James and let him speak to James at the right time without a trace. Ling Tingzhen believes that if you want James to be unswerving, you have to let the people around him unswervingly support investment, so everyone around James has accepted the "teaching" arranged by Ling Tingzhen without exception. In short, all the purpose is to strengthen James's faith. In the end, it was Ling Tingzhen's own personal arrival, because he knew that James would find him at a critical moment to discuss this matter openly and honestly. After all, when it comes to understanding Country C and the Roald family, no one can compare to the Ling family and Ling Tingzhen. Ling Tingzhen believes that after these arrangements and his final boost, it is enough to make the hesitant James firm belief to increase his investment in country C. In particular, the investment in the patented technology mastered by the Roald family is what country C is looking forward to the most.

"Actually, compared to these, I especially want to know why the Ling clan has developed very well in the area of country A and country B, why has it gradually moved back to country C since your grandfather's generation?" James really threw the question positively.

"Brother Zhan is well versed in my country's culture, I don't know if you have ever heard an idiom called 'leaves fall back to the roots'?" Ling Tingzhen said.

"I know this, that is, the leaves grow from the roots of the tree, and after falling, they will eventually return to the roots. Figuratively, things always have a certain destination. It mostly refers to the fact that the person who is a guest in a foreign country will eventually return to his hometown. However, as the Ling family, which owns many industries and is rich enough to rival the country, it should no longer be subject to the concept of the state, but should more realistically weigh the risk of transferring industries, right? Although James was familiar with the culture of Country C, he failed to appreciate the meaning behind it.

Ling Tingzhen could only smile and said, "Brother Zhan is right, this is indeed the case, so the Ling family wants to return to his motherland." ”

Looking at James's increasingly puzzled face, Ling Tingzhen continued, "Perhaps in Brother Zhan's mind, the politics, economy, system, and culture of country C are different from Brother Zhan's motherland, country A, and even many countries in the world, so I feel that it is risky. However, in my opinion, no matter how different country C's politics, economy, system, and culture are from other countries, as long as she wants to concentrate on economic development, she is bound to do her best to maintain a stable development environment, which is incomparable with other countries at present. Although Brother Zhan's motherland now ranks first in the world in terms of economy, it has shown signs of development, and its long-term bullying policy in the world has aroused dissatisfaction in many countries, and even often backlashed. I don't know if Brother Zhan has paid attention to the recent news, he has been boycotted in country Y, and even the weak country W is no longer controlled. In this way, country A will not only not be able to make money, but will 'lose its wife and soldiers' if it is not careful. Looking at the domestic political situation in country A, various political parties often fight there, and the policies are not conducive to the development of people's livelihood in China. If these factors are taken together and compared, country A cannot be regarded as a long-term stable environment. Don't the members of the Roald family see this as a risk? ”

James was dumbfounded by this speech, and what Ling Tingzhen said was the truth, but it was not complete. It is true that there are many problems in country A, but because of the global distribution of the Roald family business, the impact of these problems is still minimal. But the Roald family can also clearly feel that if country A still implements those bullying policies against the world, not only will it not reap the benefits, but it will also make more countries turn to support the policies of country C. Moreover, in recent years, as country A has begun to experience a decline in development, its policies to support the Roald family's businesses have also decreased. And thinking about it according to Ling Tingzhen's statement, then his worries about country C are completely superfluous, on the contrary, if the Roald family can invest in country C, it will be welcomed and supported. This is a rare opportunity, how can he, the Roald family, let it go easily.

Thinking about this, the questions in James's heart were basically answered, but for Ling Tingzhen's series of attacks just now, he still retorted a little unwillingly, "But do you really think that Country C's current strategy for the development of the world economy is correct?" Won't the bamboo basket be empty in the end? After all, it's such a long-term plan, and it doesn't feel like there's going to be a big profit in the short term. ”

"Brother Zhan, the Roald family is just conservative, but not short-sighted. According to the current situation of global integration, how long does Brother Zhan think that the global market can be dominated by the Roald family's business and country A? When purchasing power is insufficient, shouldn't we find ways to increase the purchasing power of these countries that can serve as markets, so as to replenish our own income? Confucius said that it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with all, and this is the truth. Moreover, there has been a long-standing debate about the correct strategy of country A or country C, so we can put this question aside and try it this way. ”

However, once the Rhord family makes additional investment, it is necessary for the Roald family to come to country C with some advanced technology that is very taboo in country A. To do so would be tantamount to 'treason'. James said with a frown.

Ling Tingzhen knew that he had finally come to the most difficult question, so he calmed down and began to answer, "For example, semiconductor chip technology? I admit that this is one of the technologies that country C urgently needs, but will having technology do any harm to the world other than breaking certain monopolies? National security or something is just a fig leaf for the selfishness of those politicians. Even if country C does not have this technology now, it does not mean that it will not have it in the future, but it is just a few years later, right? And the Roald family came with good intentions, and all their actions were in accordance with the laws of the international and two countries, so how can they talk about 'treason'? ”

"But, if you're strong, don't you really threaten the others?" James asked.
