Chapter 22: Ancestor
Moreover, the gap between the common and the rich is not just a bunch of numbers on bank accounts.
In addition to the various assets on the surface, it also includes the invisible assets such as the human, material and social relations that can be mobilized behind it.
To use the simplest analogy,
Can a demolition nouveau riche with a net worth of hundreds of millions and an entrepreneur with the same net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars mobilize the same resources and social relations?
The former is just a family that relied on the national policy and the foundation left by the ancestors.
Even if you suddenly become rich, you can't jump from social class to high society all at once.
On the contrary, it is easy to lose oneself and lose one's self-motivation because of the sudden rich.
Or indulge in personal enjoyment and profligate consumption, or be deceived by relatives, friends or others, and scatter all your wealth in confusion.
Even if they are self-aware and have not been carried away by sudden wealth, most of them lack business experience and ability, and they can only make a living by saving money and buying houses and shops.
Although he can ensure his wealth and comfort, his contribution to society is almost zero.
The latter is different.
can accumulate a net worth of hundreds of millions through industry, and there are hundreds of workers under his hands who want him to work and eat.
If you count the upstream raw material or accessories suppliers of the enterprise, the downstream processors, channels, merchants and a series of stakeholders, the number of people directly or indirectly affected by him in the entire industrial chain will increase several times or even more than ten times............
In addition, banks need deposits and loans from enterprises to stabilize or increase performance.
The state needs enterprises to ensure employment, the government needs enterprises to pay taxes as fiscal revenue, and officials need enterprises to create GDP to brush up their political achievements............
Extending from the numerous chains of interests are numerous communities of interest, numerous natural allies and potential supporters.
If it is managed properly, the energy that can burst out is enough to easily crush most of the ordinary people and even some so-called local tyrants.
Therefore, after the investigation, Bai Liming did not care about it.
I thought he was a powerful person, and he dared to argue with him, but it turned out to be nothing more than that.
There are countless ways to play each other to death as long as he wants.
At this moment, a burst of music suddenly sounded, and it was his mobile phone that rang.
Seeing the name displayed on the mobile phone screen, Bai Liming's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly connected the phone.
"Bai San, how are things going?"
As soon as the phone rang, a gloomy and hoarse voice came from inside.
"Ancestor!"
Bai Liming's eyes flashed with fear, and he subconsciously bowed his head: "The disciple is doing it." ”
"What do you mean it's ongoing?"
The voice on the phone obviously brought out a trace of anger: "It's just for you to arrest someone, it hasn't been done for so long, you can't do this little thing, what's the use of asking you?"
"Ancestor, Ancestor, listen to my explanation............"
Bai Liming's cold sweat came down directly: "It's not that the disciple is not unwilling, it's that the other party's vigilance is too strong, and the disciple suspects that she probably already knows something."
Not only has he been hiding at home, but he doesn't even want to see his disciple's face, and he can't cast spells to guide him, unless he forcibly robs someone, the disciple can't find a chance to ............ at all."
"It's all excuses,"
The voice on the phone interrupted unceremoniously.
"I don't care what method you use, I will only give you another five days, if you can't bring the girl surnamed Zhao to me within five days, then it won't be me, but the python god will talk to you, and you know what the consequences are. ”
After saying that, he hung up the phone directly with a "click".
Bai Liming put down his mobile phone in a distraction, raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with palpitations.
The face is hard to see the extreme.
You must know that since the transformation of his body, he has not sweated for a long time, not to mention that the cold and heat are not invasive.
It's purely scared out.
As he said on the phone, he knew too well what would be the result of what was waiting for him once the man on the phone really wanted to release the python god to find him!
It would be a horror he didn't want to try!
But how easy is it to get the job done?
In the case that the other party has obviously been vigilant and hides at home all day,
Unless it was a burglary and a forced abduction, he really couldn't think of any better way.
But now is not the ancient times of administrative inefficiency,
Nor is it a troubled time when human life is like a mustard,
In today's era of peace and security, peace and prosperity, but there is still a little more noise, it may attract the attention of the police.
And as a big boss who has been in business for many years and is worth hundreds of millions,
Once the attention and vigilance of the state apparatus are aroused, he knows all too well what kind of pressure he will face.
Although he has also woven and operated a very large network of relationships compared to ordinary people over the years, it is also used for what to do.
In the first few years, even the richest man committed a crime, and he said that he would send it in.
With his little energy, if he is really targeted by the state apparatus, then what is better?
At that time, even if you can get out with years of preparation and your own means beyond ordinary people,
The foundation that has been worked hard for many years has to be lost.
Without these, even if you can escape with one life, what can you do?
He hadn't forgotten why he was taken by the guy on the phone in the first place.
If it weren't for the need to borrow his deep financial resources and social connections, how could the other party accept him as a disciple and grant him otherworldly powers?
And once he loses these, he will lose his greatest use value in the eyes of that ancestor.
When the time comes, his position in the door will plummet,
Can he still have a good life?
This is also the reason why he never resorted to violent means after chasing Yanshan, but kept trying to deceive Zhao Yueying by relatively peaceful means.
Others can ignore his life or death, but he himself can't.
"Damn old ghost, you know how to urge and urge, and you have the ability to do it yourself. I hide in the deep mountains and old forests and don't dare to show my head, I am only responsible for opening my mouth for everything, and I am here for those who work and take risks, something!"
It's just that no matter how he curses, Bai Liming understands in his heart that he has no other choice at all.
Since the old ghost gave him an ultimatum, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of him, he can only go up hard.
If he dares to disobey the order, even if he flees to the ends of the earth, he will not escape death!
Adventures can be unlucky,
If you don't take risks, you will die.
How did he choose?
Speaking of which, I blame Zhao Yueying for that little slut, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't be as embarrassed as I am now.
recalled that he had traveled thousands of miles all the way from Yandu to here, and he had been deflated many times,
Bai Liming couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly.
"Think you'll be fine if you don't come out by hiding at home, look at how I forced you to come out!"
