Chapter Seventy-two: Interests Bound Together

  Wang Rungang finished asking, and Guo Zhi also hastily asked: "Is that right, Feng Shao? You won't be letting us do this because there's some risk involved, while you watch from the side?"

  Obviously, Guo Zhi was still asking Feng Siche, but it was clear that everyone felt his tone and attitude were much better than before.

  "Haha." First, a smile, then Feng Sizhe looked at the people present one by one. He knew they would ask this question because they couldn't understand why everyone wasn't very familiar with each other, yet in front of huge benefits, Feng Sizhe was willing to give them a share. This kind of thing seemed like it shouldn't happen, which is why they had all sorts of doubts in their minds.

  If it were Feng Si Zhe who suddenly had such a big pie placed here, he would also have doubts, this is human nature, he cannot get everyone's final recognition without explaining the reason, so for this question, he not only needs to have an explanation but also a convincing one.

  Feng Si Zhe looked around at everyone, his face changing from excitement to a smile. "I knew you would ask this question, if I were in your place, I would also ask, it's nothing." He first looked at Wang Run and Guo Zhi, saying this was equivalent to helping them, letting them not feel embarrassed for asking the question, and also showing that he knew they weren't doubting him, it was a very normal question.

  As expected, when Feng Si Zhe said this, Wang Run and Guo Zhi's faces first froze, then a wave of gratitude surged out in their expressions, but this kind of gratitude was something that could only be expressed in words, not conveyed through intention.

  With a nod to the two, indicating that he accepted their kind intentions, Feng Si Zhe's tone suddenly became low and solemn. "To be honest, seeing such a good opportunity, I'm not unwilling to take it. Who wouldn't be tempted by the prospect of making a lot of money, especially when it's legitimate and reasonable, and doesn't go against one's conscience? Heh heh, think about it, if the Soviet Union really collapses, those things that we consider precious will eventually be divided up by others. Wouldn't it be better for us to take them ourselves rather than letting others do so?"

  "Haha." Everyone laughed, knowing that Feng Si Zhe was telling them not to have any soft thoughts when dealing with the Soviet Union. In fact, there was no need for Feng Si Zhe to say this, as these people would not have had such thoughts anyway. At some point in the past, this person who was called "Old Big Brother" by everyone suddenly withdrew all support for the construction of the Republic, leaving them struggling to understand how difficult things were for their country. If it weren't for the efforts of that generation, many miracles would not have been achieved, and the newly established Republic would have faced enormous difficulties. Is there any need to talk about friendship or kinship with people like this, who can turn against you at any time?

  "Well, now I'll tell you why I'm sharing this rare business opportunity with you instead of others. There are three reasons: Firstly, the benefits are too great, even if I wanted to swallow it all by myself, I couldn't. Moreover, I want to say that not only can I not do it alone, but even if we join forces together, we still can't fully exploit this huge market - the Soviet Union is just too big, with too many good things, and our time is limited, so we can't possibly move everything. Since I alone can't eat it all up, why not call others to come and share in the feast?"

  "Haha, this is the second reason. I'm going to find someone anyway, so I might as well find some reliable people. Everyone knows that Duanshao and I are good friends, and you guys are also good friends with him, which means his friends are my friends too. That's why I decided to cooperate with you, because I trust Duanshao's judgment. If he can acknowledge you, it proves that you have something special and are worthy of friendship."

  As soon as Feng Siche finished speaking, the blue veins on Duan Yunpeng's face twitched obviously, this is not anger, but excitement. Feng Siche's words can be said to have saved his face, and just because of this, Duan Yunpeng has determined that Feng Siche is a reliable friend.

  Looking at Duan Yunpeng's expression, Feng Siche knew that their relationship and emotions had taken a step closer. Indeed, interests are the best bridge to make two strangers become good friends. Because Feng Siche is a reborn person, he has a unique perspective that others cannot possess, so he can see business opportunities earlier than ordinary people, and represent more benefits for those he acknowledges, thus his friends around him will naturally increase.

  Taking a deep breath, Feng Sizi spoke out the third reason which was also the last one. "Thirdly, you are all not ordinary people, but rather scions of prominent families with various backgrounds, and this is your advantage. If it were an ordinary person, they might be able to go to the Soviet Union and buy many good things at a low price, but how to transport them back would indeed be a problem. As the saying goes, only money earned in hand is real money; otherwise, no matter how good something is, it's just paper, and an empty check is not even worth a sheet of toilet paper. It's precisely because you have this advantage that I've found you all to share this great opportunity with everyone. This concludes my three reasons for finding you."

  After saying that, Feng Sizi picked up the teacup and continued drinking tea. He had said what he needed to say, and now it was up to them to understand on their own. If they still had different ideas, then there was nothing more Feng Sizi could do about it. At most, he would just have to find someone else to cooperate with. In this world, you can't find a three-legged frog, but two-legged people are everywhere.

  Three points to note, the expressions on everyone's faces are different, but they all understand one fact: what is in front of them is a big cake, so big that it can't be eaten by one person. Also, because it involves the interests of the big brother, and has nothing to do with the country, this kind of thing is eat as much as you want, think about eating as much as you want, and won't receive moral condemnation. The most important point is that even if the country clearly knows about it, they can't do anything about it, and have to consider a political factor. But they are different, they can completely take out money and entrust others to represent them to do it, so that the investigation can't reach their heads, but the money ultimately ends up in their pockets. This kind of thing is truly a win-win situation.

  Personally, I made a lot of money from it. In terms of morality, it repaid the grudge of being kicked when we were down in those years. From a public perspective, many things obtained from there can promote the development of national military industry and heavy industry in various aspects. Even if the old men knew about it, they would probably smile and nod in approval, although they wouldn't say anything commendatory on the surface. It's undeniable that deep down, they must have some admiration for this move.

  Reasons are not clear if not explained. Once Feng Si Zhe had clearly explained the causes and consequences of things, the gaze of the crowd towards him was completely different.

  Everyone's attention is focused on Duan Yunpeng, who knows that when it's time to repay Feng Sicheng, the other person's words are so beautiful, they're just giving themselves face by giving these people a chance. If he doesn't show his attitude at all, then it's really not worth saying anything. "Alright, I've done it, Young Master Feng, thank you for this opportunity, I won't say any more unnecessary words, in the future if there's anything that needs my help, Duan someone, you just speak up."

  "Yes, I'm Guo Zhi too. Although my skills are not great, generally small problems can't stump me. In the future, if Feng Shao has anything, just give orders and that's it." Guo Zhi also jumped out under Duan Yunpeng's lead, people with his straightforward temperament actually have no grudges, as long as you truly win him over, it's a lifelong thing.
