Chapter 460 People's Hearts Backward (Part 2)
Building a large port requires technicians, stones, and manpower, and the way to solve these troubles is money. You may not be good at fighting and managing local work, but when it comes to making money, you claim to be second in the Cons system, and no one dares to claim first.
Seeing An Zaikang's expression, Aoji frowned.
This An Zai Kang probably gave blood transfusions to Cons. With this An Zai Kang, Cons' dependence on him will definitely be reduced by several levels. However, when he thought that he was afraid that a small business group would cause trouble to him, he seemed too careful, and couldn't help but smile: "Mr. An Zai Kang, don't you know you have an affiliated business group?"
An Zaikang's heart suddenly jumped, but his face looked puzzled: "Affiliated business group? Is it a business group that exists with the business group of our headquarters?"
Aoji explained: "No, no, the business group that exists with the business group in our department is just an affiliated business group. It is just a small business group that obeys orders for small matters and decides on the big matters by themselves. The affiliated business group I mentioned is actually a branch of its own. There are generally two types of business groups. One is that everyone has your name written on it, but the leader of the business group is someone else, and the other is that a business group formed entirely by another person, but a document of property rights is signed privately. On the surface, this business group has nothing to do with you."
"Oh, what's the use of such a business group?" An Zaikang asked with a very curious expression: "Why should we build such a business group? Wouldn't it be better to concentrate all the funds to develop your own direct business group?"
"Haha, generally, merchant groups concentrate their funds in their business groups, but those who have ambitions to call the wind and rain in Wilt must have affiliated merchant groups, especially those who own the merchant group, which is not you, but the entire merchant group completely obeys the orders." Aoji looked at An Zaikang with a smile.
An Zaikang raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Is it for the port control?"
Aoji nodded with a smile: "That's right, in order to avoid the situation where one party dominates and all others become affiliated, Wilter has formulated rules that only the registered merchant group of the port has the right to vote for the port. Moreover, in order to avoid a merchant group registering in all ports, a rule that a merchant group can only register one port."
"These two rules limit that even if a business group is strong, it can only control one port. Because of this, those affiliated business groups that are concealed will naturally appear suddenly."
"Ah, so, aren't Wilter's ports controlled by the big merchant group?" An Zaikang said in a shocked expression.
"How can this happen?" Aoji smiled and shook his head: "First of all, the first type of merchant group selling dog meat with sheep's head, once it enters other ports to register, the merchant group at the port will definitely unite to suppress it, so that you can't do business at all, and if you don't have money to make money, you will have no voting rights. Think about it, can you still want to gain control of the port?"
"Isn't there another kind of affiliated business group? This kind of business group should be able to achieve its goal, right?" An Zaikang's business group used this method. In fact, no problems have been found so far, so I really want to hear how the big shot Aoji commented.
Aoji nodded and said, "This kind of business group is indeed possible to achieve its goal, because it is very hidden. Except for the parties involved, outsiders do not know who these business groups will have to do with, so they can't even hit the target."
"Oh, then not many large merchant groups choose this method? Lord Aoji, you must have such a merchant group, right?" An Zai said with a smile. He would not think that a large merchant group like Aoji does not have such affiliated merchant groups.
"No, what I have is a business group that clearly defines everyone." Speaking of this, Aoji didn't know what he thought of, and his whole body suddenly became bitter.
"Ah? Why? Such a business group will be besieged!" An Zaikang became curious. He really didn't expect that a big business group like Aoji would choose such an affiliated business group. Wouldn't he be afraid of being suppressed and beaten?
Aoji said helplessly: "Oh, it's not that I don't want to choose that kind of affiliated business group, but in terms of legality, this business group has nothing to do with the business group in the headquarters. Moreover, because of the avoidance of exposure, the source of funds and personnel recruitment are carried out independently by the owner of the business group. Only in this way can the business group not be investigated and dealt with. However, in this way, the business group will completely belong to the owner of the business group."
"It's okay for a while. He needs your support to gain a foothold. Therefore, during this development period, the owner of the business group will follow the orders of the business group. But when his wings are hard, he will naturally pursue his own interests. If your order is in line with his interests, he will listen. If it doesn't meet, he will immediately pretend that he doesn't hear it, or even turn the raid."
"In other words, if you contribute money and effort, you will create an enemy for yourself! So fewer and fewer people will use such behaviors that are not worth the effort."
An Zaikang was stunned. He was unwilling to have such an affiliated business group for this reason. He said hesitantly: "Why does it sound like such a business group will rebel if they want to? Can't we use checks and balances? Such means of sending people to monitor, seizing his family, and placing people with a handshake can be implemented!"
Aoji explained: "Haha, these methods can certainly be used, but first of all, the daily right of the business group is in the hands of the owner of the business group. If you have a little brainwalk, just use the surveillance personnel he suspected and those who do not obey him and want to undermine his subordinates and send them to places where thieves are rampant. If you don't come twice at a time, it will easily and legally and reasonably eliminate hidden dangers. As long as the owner of the business group has a strange intention, the business group in the department will really send as many as you die, and there will be no return."
"As long as the other party is more cruel, it will be no threat at all, and it will cause disaster to your family."
After hearing this, An Zaikang was even more confused: "Can't you directly control the owner of the business group? He is cruel and ruthless and asks his family to live or die, then he has to take care of his own life and death?"
Aoji glanced at An Zaikang with a strange look. He looked very smart, why do you feel a little stupid now?
Although he thought so, he still said frankly: "You also know that once our Wilter Merchant Group registers, we can immediately have a minimum quota of 100 guards. Although these guards can install people, the method of sending people to die can make the strange guys replace the loyalty of him soon. In this way, how can we control the other party!"
An Zaikang looked full of teaching, but his heart was filled with joy.
Do you really think I am an idiot? Wouldn't I know that establishing an uncontrollable affiliated business group is equivalent to giving money to others?
Humph, if you can't do it, it doesn't mean that I can't do it. With the surveillance of the secret guards, which of the guys below dares to have a strange intention? If something goes wrong, not only can he kill his life immediately, but he can also kidnap his whole family and his young family without knowing it!
In this way, as long as the number of secret guards can be maintained, no matter how many business groups are, it will be established. If this continues, sooner or later, the entire Wilt will be controlled by his own business group. How great it would be if he could see this scene!
The two chatted for a few more times, and after the huge stairs pushed over, they stopped talking and got off the boat.
Under the escort of secret guards, An Zaikang stood on the land of the Snow Country.
An Zaikang stomped the land with force and said to the secret guard happily: "Haha, I don't know what's going on. I don't feel like a stranger when I stepped on this land."
The Miwei also smiled and said, "Sir, this is the territory of the Lord. How could he feel like a stranger?"
"Haha, that's right, this is my elder brother's territory and ours."
After An Zaikang finished saying this, his mentality immediately changed. When he watched the surrounding situation, his brainpower was conceiving how to build and add facilities.
Although An Zai Kang looked around, most of his attention was still focused on Aoji. Aoji laughed and talked a few words with a middle-aged man dressed in a dock management official with a smile on his face, and then pointed at him. An Zai Kang even saw the complex expressions of doubt, suspicion, surprise and other complex emotions that the official showed when he saw him.
Aoji led the official to introduce him to An Zaikang, who knew that the other party was an official in charge of dock management.
The official said hesitantly: "My lord, your identity can only be confirmed by Your Highness, so please forgive me for being rude."
An Zai Kang said anxiously: "It's not a problem. By the way, where is my elder brother, your Lord Cons? I hope to meet him as soon as possible."
Before the dock officials could reply, Aoji said first: "I know where Lord Cons is. I happen to go to see Lord Cons. Why not be with us?"
As he said that, Aoji waved his hand and a large, thick and a little luxurious carriage drove over.
An Zai Kang is not polite, nor is he afraid of anything. He is guarding more than a dozen secret guards around him, and there is nothing to be afraid of anywhere.
Following the Harbor Avenue, the carriage galloped rapidly towards Qingxiang Town. An Zaikang already knew that his elder brother had just repelled three territories and invaded at the same time. He was celebrating the victory at the Earl Bick Castle, so he had no interest in staying in Qingxiang Town, the elder brother in the first territories of the Snow Country.
As more and more towns passed by carriages, An Jae-kang became more and more curious. After passing through a town again, An Jae-kang couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Aoji, I wonder if you know why the people along the way are so happy? Look at their expressions, it should not be just because Brother Cons won the victory."
Aoji raised his eyebrows and said, "Awesome, ordinary people can't tell me."
An Zaikang smiled: "In fact, generally speaking, no matter how much victory or honor the leader above wins, the people below will just join in the fun and will not really cheer for the victory and glory above, even if they win the hearts of the people. Although Brother Cons has reached a level that is not very consistent with the rules, I think it will never be able to win the hearts of the people in less than a year, so I guess there are other reasons that will make the people so happy."
Aoji looked at An Zaikang thoughtfully and said, "You are a person with a delicate mind. Don't blame me for being a quiet person. You are indeed not suitable to be the head of an organization, but it is very suitable to be the butler of this organization. People, the most important thing is to recognize the position you should be, otherwise it will be a disaster if you force it!"
An Zai Kang was stunned for a moment. Aoji seemed to take him seriously, otherwise he would not have said this to someone who had not been together for a day. He looked down on him so much at Aoji. An Zai Kang nodded with a smile and thanked him.
Aoji smiled and said, "Haha, I suddenly sighed and realized that I am getting older now. Well, why do you ask the people why they like Ruokuang so much? It's very simple. Your elder brother, Lord Cons, has divided all the dividends of this war, not only to the nobles and the army, but also to the lower-class people in the entire Earl's rank. Therefore, these people who have benefited are so happy. Seeing this, do you think that the people's hearts are actually very easy to control?"
"There are bonuses for the entire Earl's leader. Did Brother Cons get a lot of benefits for this victory?" An Zai Kang said, looking at the singing and dancing outside.
I have seen tens of thousands of people along the way, and at least hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Earl Corps. It can make so many people laugh, and this bonus should be huge and scary.
"It's very simple. The food and population of the three earls who were hostile to your elder brother were moved by your elder brother. Not only that, the three earl treasurys who invaded the invading army were emptied without knowing it, and I don't know how your elder brother did it. I heard that the guards guarding the treasury were destroyed because of this, and all the earls who were so angry that they were about to burst blood vessels were sent to the prison. If your elder brother hadn't used these earl's collections to reward people, I'm afraid no one would know that this was done by your elder brother. I really don't understand why your elder brother wanted to explode his details?" Aoji was a little confused.
An Zai Kang thought of the special secret guards who were taken away by the tornado with his elder brother. It was probably because the secret guards did this. As for why they did this? It was very simple and just a shock.
The meaning of shock is to see if I can move your warehouse without realizing it, and of course I can move the heads of your whole family without realizing it!
I guess someone with a little brain can understand this. Aoji actually asked such an idiotic question. Do he want to test himself or confuse himself when doing things like this?
Alas, it's so tiring to deal with these smart ghosts, and every sentence has a different meaning.
An Zaikang did not answer Augie's question, but pointed to a castle towering in the distance and asked, "Is there Earl Bick Castle?"
"Yes, that's it there."
When Aoji said this, he noticed that An Zaikang and his secret guards were all excited, and he couldn't help but sigh. Cons was indeed lucky. Not only did he come to meet with his sworn brothers from all over the place, but his subordinates could always maintain their loyalty. This is really enviable.
However, Aoji quickly calmed down his jealous attitude. He knew very well that people were incomparable to people, and maintaining a normal mind was the most important thing.
