Chapter 50, Gossip

Many times this is the case. A very big thing is decided by a few words from the key people. Just like Masayoshi Son and Jack Ma only took a few minutes to determine the future business negotiations worth hundreds of billions of dollars. The key people reached a consensus with each other, and the rest was much simpler. However, if the key people did not reach a consensus, no matter how hard the people below were, they would be a mess. The 2015 China-Thailand High-speed Railway Project is a typical example. The senior Thai leaders were hesitant and wanted to get as much benefits as possible while not paying the corresponding things. Naturally, it would be difficult to succeed smoothly.

After the negotiation, Liu Qingquan and Qian Duoduo chatted with each other, and as they were chatting, they started chatting, from all over the world, from national political affairs to small news and interesting things. Qian Duoduo is a very talkative person with a wide range of knowledge and knows many things that are difficult for ordinary people to know.

For example, there are big families in China, branches of domestic family forces, and many other secrets that Liu Qingquan had no idea before. Qianduoduo's Qian family is one of the top families. The family has a large population and a huge power. There are also several families similar to the Qian family. This is at the top of the food chain in China. Next are dozens of families with slightly weaker power. These families are also important components of the top leaders. Most national leaders come from these dozens of families, or are direct members of the family, or married son-in-law, etc.

In short, without the support of these top dozens of families, no one can hold the top position. They are the real controllers of the country and the hidden king behind the scenes. The ordinary people cannot see any reports about their family. In addition to these dozens of big families with forces spread across the country, there are also hundreds of families of all sizes all over the country. Although these families have little influence in the country, they have local powers like local emperors, controlling important politics, economy, etc. in their respective places.

Just like a pyramid, the top level are several top families such as the Qian family, followed by dozens of top families, and then hundreds of local families of all sizes. They formed a complete national control system, controlling the top political levels of the entire country, most of the middle-level levels, and most of the economy.

All of this has been gradually formed in the past 20 years, and it is also the beginning and formation of class solidification. Before this, people from ordinary people can reach a high position. After that, there should be no more. Everything has been settled and all interests have been divided. In the future, the dragon will give birth to dragons, the phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the son of a mouse will still be a mouse. It will be extremely difficult for ordinary people to succeed, and they will have to put in more effort and sweat, but they will often not develop after the top.

This is the foregone conclusion of one dynasty after another. When changing dynasties, it is the opportunity for grassroots origin. Follow the right people, stand in the right team, and then live well so that your descendants can enjoy your beauty. Then the dynasty is stable, consolidated, and class solidified. At this time, everything has nothing to do with grassroots. Even if there are counterattacks from some grassroots, it is very rare, very rare. Then as various resources become increasingly concentrated, the gap between the rich and the poor is too large, and social turmoil, the dynasty changes begin again, and it has been repeated. The history of thousands of China is actually very simple, and the cycle of control and chaos seems to never break out of this vicious circle.

In addition to talking about various things in China, Qian Duoduo will also talk about famous families in the world. Liu Qingquan heard a lot of things that he had never heard of before. If these families in China rarely have a long history, then there are many very famous families abroad. These families have a long history and a profound heritage. Until now, they still have a huge influence on their respective countries and fields.

Like the oldest family, the Japanese Royal Family, this is a family with a very long history. The history that can be accurately found is more than 1,000 years. The emperor is not only the monarch of Japan, but also the spiritual symbol of Japanese Shintoism. The supreme leader. The Japanese royal family is the oldest royal family in the world. Even in the most powerful shogunate era, it can be passed down intact. It has continued to this day and has a great influence on the entire country of Japan. It is called the "Eternal Series".

Of course, there is a family in China that is longer than the Japanese imperial family, that is, Confucius' Confucius family, which has been passed down for thousands of years. In ancient dynasties, the people of the Confucius family were highly valued and treated well by the ruling class, which can be regarded as a kindness to Confucianism, telling scholars all over the world to treat scholars well and stabilize their ruling status. However, the Confucius family and Confucianism have gradually withdrawn from the stage of history, but the Chinese people are still deeply imprinted with Confucian culture.

Of course, there are some very rich families in the world, such as the Rothschild family, a European Jewish family, which was slightly untied because of a book called "The Financial Ruler". This family controlled most of Europe's financial business in the first half of the 20th century. The influence of family wealth was that all European royal families at that time had to bow their heads down. Until now, no one knows how rich their family is. Some people estimate that they have at least $50 trillion in wealth. Compared with this family, the Saudi royal family is just a clown holding a push of US dollar bills.

....

Liu Qingquan and Qian Duoduo were devoted to chatting, and time was unknowingly coming to the evening. Liu Qingquan was about to say goodbye and go back, but Qian Duoduo enthusiastically grabbed him. When he arrived at his own territory, he should have to entertain himself no matter what. How could he drink tea and send Liu Qingquan away? If this continues, he will not be able to stay outside.

Liu Qingquan had no choice but to follow Qian Duoduo and obey his arrangements. If the authentic Beijingers want to entertain guests grandly, there will be many rules. Old Beijingers are very particular. Simple drinking and tea include traditional rules such as "toasting people with wine, giving people with tea", "the spout of tea can't be facing people", "seven, eight, ten, etc.," and so on.

Of course, many rules have gradually changed or disappeared until now. However, as a child of a family with a long history, Qian Duoduo is very familiar with various rules for entertaining guests. Many times, Liu Qingquan, who knows nothing, is very surprised. Fortunately, Liu Qingquan is thick-skinned and not ashamed to ask questions. He has gradually learned a lot of things. In the future, more and more people will come into contact with. Liu Qingquan feels that he should learn the culture and inheritance of it.

Qian Duoduo also fully played his role as a good teacher and friend. He started to tell Liu Qingquan some of the rules and meanings from every little thing around him. Many times he could also quote classics and tell Liu Qingquan the allusions and interesting stories. Various rules of all sizes are enough to write dozens of books.

"I said Qian Duoduo. Do you have to abide by so many rules anytime and anywhere? Are you tired?" Liu Qingquan was in a mess because Qian Duoduo talked about too many rules and was too complicated, but the relationship between the two has obviously improved a lot.

"It's good to get used to it. In fact, the big families did not pay much attention to these things before. But later, after we had more contact with big families in the world, we gradually realized that we were completely a rustic man. We didn't understand any rules, and we didn't have the aura of cultural precipitation. We were always looked down upon. Gradually, we all began to pick up the things of our ancestors to study. In addition, we learned from foreign families, so the rules naturally increased." Qian Duoduo said with a smile.

"Well, in terms of culture or the power of our ancestors, we have indeed lost too many precious things. We should learn from our ancestors. The families abroad have only a few hundred years of history. We have thousands of history, and we will not be worse than them." Liu Qingquan said a little dissatisfied that his country has thousands of history.

"Liu Qingquan, you can see clearly. Many people don't understand. They feel that they are inferior to others after going abroad. They become inferior and admire foreign countries. The idea of ​​admiring foreign countries is very popular in China. In the past, some people argued whether it is the full moon abroad or the full moon in China. It is so absurd! The wisdom of our ancestors has been completely forgotten. If we don't learn about the cultural history for thousands of years, we have to learn about their hundreds of years of history for a long time. Let the cart be put before the horse!" Qian Duoduo said emotionally after hearing this.

"Haha, that's all I said. How can I understand these? I just feel that the culture that has been passed down for thousands of years in my country must have its own truth. There must be very profound knowledge that is worth studying and learning from our younger generations. Of course, the Western world can rule the entire planet in just a few hundred years. Not to mention anything else, just this attitude towards science and respect for knowledge is very worthy of our learning," Liu Qingquan shook his head and said.

Qian Duoduo gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Liu Qingquan, you are still very thorough in your understanding of the problem. No wonder you are today."

"Don't bring me a high hat. I'll drink this tea and eat it. Can I leave?" Liu Qingquan smiled and wanted to say goodbye and go home.

"What are you going? It's only the time. The day in the imperial capital has just begun?" Qian Duoduo quickly grabbed Liu Qingquan and said.

Liu Qingquan shook his head and said, "You are talking about nightlife, I'm not interested in those."

"Don't worry, my Qian family will definitely not go to get into those miscellaneous things. There will be a high-end cocktail party later, and many famous business people from China attended. The host of the cocktail party heard that I was with you and told me to take you there, that is, to sit there and chat about something, Qian Duoduo pulled Liu Qingquan and said without letting go.

Liu Qingquan shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, don't hold me like this, I can run away, but I will tell you first, I just stayed there for a few minutes and left. I have never attended such a cocktail party. Then I will be embarrassed and ugly."

Qian Duoduo smiled and pulled Liu Qingquan while walking, saying, "Okay, okay, if you don't feel interested, you can leave immediately. I will never force you to keep you. Now I can be considered a mess with people."

"Why do I feel like I'm on a pirate ship!"
