"The Ye family took Nan Botu to the Luo family, and Nan Bohong also showed up... Is it really okay if we just leave them alone?"
Nan Bozhan sat at his desk, frowning, and looking at the woman on the sofa from time to time.
In contrast, the woman wearing a professional skirt looks relaxed and comfortable:
"Why are you so anxious? Nan Bohong can only serve as a backdrop for such an occasion. As for Nan Botu, we already knew that this was not his intention."
Who else could this be if she wasn't Nan Youyue?
But Nan Expo was not infected by Nan Youyue's relaxation:
"But the Ye family and the Luo family may not think so. Just because Nan Botuzhi is not here, everything he does will be blamed on Nan Bohong. These emerging families...Nan Bohong did make a good move. , even if I want to reach out to this cake now, I’m afraid it’s too late.”
"Good chess? That's it. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that while Nan Bohong is using the Ye family, the Ye family also wants to use Nan Bohong to use the Nan family. That is to say, Nan Bohong will find it a good deal to deal with this kind of family Cooperation, in the eyes of the old man, is not worth getting married to the descendants of the Nan family."
Nan Youyue sneered,
"To put it bluntly, if the old man asked them to cooperate, how dare they make other demands? Even if there is no money to be made, they will not refuse."
"...That's the same truth."
Nan Expo was speechless for a while, pinched his temples,
“But I always feel like I’m not at peace if I don’t do anything.”
Just as he was talking, the phone next to Nan Bozhan's hand rang. And when he answered the phone, his expression became unpredictable.
Nan Youyue raised her eyebrows, changed her sitting position, and asked:
"what happened?"
South China Expo does not shy away from this:
"The third son of the Luo family... invited the alchemist this time."
"That Lin Tianyu? Wow. That's going to be lively."
Nan Youyue showed an expression of watching a good show,
"Look, isn't this the chance for you to do something?"
South China Expo is obviously also thinking about this issue:
"Nan Botu and Lin Tianyu have a grudge for a long time, and this time they are in a competitive relationship. With Lin Tianyu's character, he will cause trouble even if nothing happens. And no matter how powerful Nan Botu is, I'm afraid he can't compare to the 'Alchemist' 'The wonderful rejuvenation.
"Maybe I should bribe the other doctors present and let them lead the conversation to Dalui. Once Lin Tianyu has exposed Nan Botu's face, he will naturally lose the trust of the Luo family and the Ye family. In the future, he will rely on his It will be difficult to impress other families with his medical skills. Nan Bohong's impression in the minds of the Luo family and Ye family will be greatly reduced, and it will be difficult to use Nan Botu's medical skills to please anyone."
However, after hearing Nan You’s thoughts on the exhibition, Nan You smiled:
"The first half of the analysis is pretty good, but the second part...? Is that really what you think? No wonder you have been fighting with Nanbo Hong all these years."
Being questioned and ridiculed like this, Nan Expo was inevitably a little annoyed, but he was not controlled by this emotion. This is not only because Nan Youyue is his elder, but more importantly, this is the right-hand man and reliable ally he invited.
Although Nan Guozhong has never considered passing on the position of head of the family to Nan Youyue, and does not treat Nan Youyue's children any better than "his own family", he has never treated Nan Youyue badly in terms of shares just because she is a daughter. The old man himself controls 40% of the Nan family's largest business, and the other three children each hold 12%. He and Nan Expo, the two biggest candidates, each hold 5%, and other sporadic small shareholders hold 9% in total.
The remaining 5% was originally left by the old man to Nanbotu as compensation.
In other words, Nan Guozhong actually holds 45%, while the two brothers actually hold 17% each. They have been wooing other shareholders over the years, and the 9% is basically split half way. Therefore, the main intention of both of them before was to do something that could directly win the old man's favor, and everything would naturally be a certainty.
But since Nambotu was recovered, things have become complicated. Although the boy later refused this "compensation", in just a year or two, he actually gained some favor from the old man, and even developed a relationship with people from Qi Lian Tang. All signs indicate that the old man does not intend to hand over the 5% to others, but intends to wait until Nambotu is willing to accept it.
What makes Nam Expo feel uneasy is the 5% that originally belonged to Nam Expo. It is not enough to prove that Nanbotu intends to compete, but others have no intention to compete, which means that the 5% will actually fall into the hands of Nanbohong.
Although 5% is not enough to widen the gap, it will shake the minds of many people, and these people naturally include those small shareholders who are just like grass on the wall. The Li family suffered an inexplicable disaster a few days ago, and as the son-in-law, he had to help out a little, which took a lot of his attention away, and his control over many small shareholders was not as good as before.
About 14% + 17%. Although it still does not exceed the old man’s shareholding, the old man himself will obviously not express his preference directly, but will let them compete and choose the best. A margin of about 14% had already marked his defeat.
Because of this, he chose to win over Nan Youyue, the "major shareholder". Although Nan Youyue rarely directly intervenes in the affairs of the Nan family, this does not mean that she intends to completely stand by and watch the dispute over the head of the family. This is a shrewd and ambitious woman. Her previous immobility was just waiting for opportunities to move, observing and looking for partners with the best chance of success and the best benefits from them.
Fortunately, she did not refuse the South China Expo, which offered many favorable conditions.
Therefore, he will never conflict with Nan Youyue over some trivial matters, at least not until he has firmly established himself as the head of the family before he can break up with her.
Speaking quickly will not bring any benefits, it will only leave you with trouble or future troubles. He had already fully experienced this with Namboto.
What's more, Nan Youyue is indeed better than him in some aspects. He listens more and reads more, and learns a lot. That's enough to keep him humble.
"It's because Bo Zhan thinks too little. Please give me more advice."
Nan Expo's good attitude obviously pleased Nan Youyue, and her tone obviously changed for the better:
"Although the relationship between you and Nan Botu is definitely no better than that of their brothers, you don't have to overestimate them. Those 5% may not fall into the hands of Nan Bohong in the end. In other words, you two are eyeing each other as a thorn in the side. , will give rise to the illusion that Nan Bo Tu needs to choose one of you."
Nan Youyue said with a somewhat mocking smile:
"Have you never thought that people may not want the 5% in the end? If you can refuse it once, you can refuse it the second time.
"Even if he wants it, will he really stand on Nan Bohong's side? He can also remain neutral. Let me ask you, if he remains neutral and you win in the end, you may 'kill all' Nan Bohong, But what will you do to him?"
"...As long as he is still not interested in the Nan family business, I certainly won't do anything to him. I will even give him some benefits. While using Nan Bohong's fate to shock others, I will also show my generosity and kindness. kindness."
Nan Youyue nodded, then shrugged and sighed:
"Unfortunately, based on my current observation, Nan Bohong does not take his biological brother very seriously because of his blood relationship. If he takes the position, Nan Botu will receive no better treatment than you. What can be given to him is better. In other words, in fact, there is no big difference in the outcome who he supports.
"The only problem is that his identity is really not suitable for you to be on your side.
"And if he remains neutral, Nan Bohong can't do anything to him. He can't push his biological brother to your enemy, right?"
Nan Expo felt that what Nan Youyue said was ridiculous, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't think of anything to refute.
Because from what he saw, Nan Bohong's care for Nan Botu was indeed superficial, such as picking up and dropping off people, going to the hospital to help support, and accompanying others to do daily chores... There were even some things that Nan Botu could ask for. When he comes here, he will not refuse because he finds it troublesome. Instead, he will think that this is a good opportunity to make the other party owe a favor.
It can be seen that the relationship between these two brothers is indeed very ordinary.
But as Nan Youyue said, no matter how normal the relationship between the two brothers is, as long as they don't turn against each other, Nan Boutu will never come to his side. This is not only a matter of taking sides, but also a reason for people to question their character and morality: If you don't even support your own brother, but instead support an "outsider", are you a mercenary person? Or is he a person who is willing to pay every penny he spends and retaliate for his grudges?
Nambutu just doesn't care about fighting for family property, not that he doesn't care about his reputation being ruined.
But for him, Nambotu's neutrality is not a form of support?
"Split them into two individuals and think about what happened this time. Do you have any new ideas?"
"It is necessary to deploy people to disrupt the situation, and it is feasible to make Nan Bohong lose face. However, there is no need to deliberately suppress Nan Botu, and you should even help Nan Bohong when he leaves in anger.
"It is necessary to make Nan Bohong feel that his younger brother is not worthy enough and has insufficient use value, so he abandons this chess piece; at the same time, it can also make Nan Botu further disappointed in Nan Bohong and realize that the other party is only using him. mentality. Their brothers closing the wall is equivalent to my advantage."
Nan Youyue snapped her fingers:
"This is the right idea. Now that you are sure to deploy people, you should do something more meaningful. But... there is one thing you may be wrong about."
"What?"
Nan Expo is a little curious.
"It's not that Nan Botu didn't realize that Nan Bohong was using him. I told you not to pay too much attention to him. I didn't mean for you to underestimate him."
Nan Youyue smiled helplessly,
"When he refused the old man's share compensation, everyone laughed at him behind his back. They thought he was just a young boy who had just entered the society and did not understand the hardships of life. They also thought that his integrity and character, which did not seek wealth and refused to bow his head, could be used as a job. Eat. Including me, that’s what I thought at the time.”
"……So?"
In fact, Nan Expo still thinks so. 5% of the shares of the Nan family's largest company is money that many people can't earn even if they spend their entire lives without eating or drinking. It is a benefit that many people want to get by exhausting all their mechanisms and dehumanizing themselves. Because only those who have truly stepped into society know how hard money is, and why a little story about not giving up for five buckets of rice has been passed down for thousands of years.
He didn't believe that Nambotu would really be a great sage who could only be seen in a thousand years. Nan Botu's recent frequent attendance at the Nan family's banquets further confirmed his thoughts.
"If he had this 5% in his hand, would you let him go? You wouldn't. Although he wouldn't commit murder or arson, he would definitely pester him and force him to spit it out, right? Of course, Nan Bohong also He will be more attentive to win over him, protect him, and tie him to his own boat. This is relative. But the result is the same. He will be completely involved in the Nan family's property struggle, and will no longer have the mind to do anything else. .”
"Something else? Does he want to be a real scientist? Or a doctor and expert who will go down in history? What's the difference between this and guessing that he insists on not giving up for five buckets of rice?"
Nan Expo's eyes widened, his face full of confusion and disbelief.
"People who want to become ordinary scientists or doctors don't think about cross-dressing and sneaking into the black market, nor do they want to make friends with people from Qi Lian Tang."
Nan Youyue glanced at him sideways,
"Not to mention that you won't go around asking for information related to the Secret Service. Your information network is really bad. No wonder you were controlled by Nan Bohong in everything before."
Nan Expo was silent for a moment and then asked:
"What does he want to do with the Secret Service? Want to join them? The Secret Service's treatment will not be better than that of the Nan family, and the Secret Service will never accept a child of a family like him."
"You have to ask me, to be honest, I can't tell you why. The intelligence related to the Secret Service has been covered up by them, and what I can detect is very limited. But to a certain extent, In fact, it’s easy to understand: Nan Botuzhi is not in the Nan family. Doesn’t it mean that his ambition is in another place, which is similar to or even higher than the Nan family?
"You also said that from the perspective of wealth, the Nan family can only give him much more than the Secret Service; but what about other aspects? Status? Rare resources? Even, power?"
Nan Youyue's words made Nan Bozhan feel frightened every time. His reason told him that it was impossible for a person like Namboto, who had no foundation and no special talents, to reach this point. Even if he couldn't find these things, it was impossible for Nan Guozhong not to find them, and it was impossible to let such a talent go.
But his intuition told him that all this was entirely possible - maybe Nanbotu had been hiding his clumsiness from the beginning, and in a place they didn't know, he had shown a talent that was powerful enough for the Secret Service to break the threshold regulations. Huge talent.
But this... completely subverted his understanding of Nanbotu.
Not only because of the opponent's possible strength, but also because of the opponent's decisiveness: Even if Nan Botu was really powerful, how could he choose the Special Intelligence Bureau in the first place instead of directly choosing the Nan family? ?
Before returning to Nan's house, Nanbotu obviously didn't know much about the Secret Service. Under such circumstances, when normal people face the Nan family's equally attractive and certain-to-success option, even if the benefits offered by the Secret Service are greater, they will choose the opportunity that is close at hand rather than an illusory one. , a close to impossible opportunity.
Or be smarter and seize the Nan family's opportunity first, and then seek benefits from the Secret Service.
And Nanbotu’s choice...
"Let me tell you something you don't want to hear. If Namboto joins the fight for the head of the family, even if I stand neutral, I will definitely not choose you."
Nan Youyue chuckled softly,
"I don't know how many times the old man asked him if he really wasn't interested in the Nan family's property at all, and if he wanted to get some property with him. You guessed it was because he was eager to compensate Nan Botu in full. Or do you have any other plans?"
Nan Expo's expression was a bit ugly, it was obviously the first time he heard about this matter. But he soon recovered.
Nan Guozhong was able to mention Hui Hui, which means that he was also rejected Hui Hui. Nambutu's unmoved attitude was a good thing.
"Then I...shouldn't I make things too obvious about the Luo family? If he finds out...if he is really so smart, he will definitely find out."
Nan Bozhan frowned.
"Of course. But what if he finds out? As long as Nan Bohong doesn't find out, it's enough."
Nan Youyue didn't take it seriously.
"As long as Nan Bohong's actions are within our plan, regardless of whether we are involved in the design of peripheral events, his choice will eventually leave a knot in Nan Botu's heart. That is enough. As for you, you take action against them It's a matter of course, so why hide it from him?
"What's more, you will 'compensate' him and even go further to help him. You will hint to him that you only want to target Nam Bo Hong and not Nam Bo Tu, and he will receive this meaning. He will not dig out his heart to you , but at least you can avoid interfering with each other, right?
"No matter what his goal is, as long as it's not the Nan family, then as long as he goes further and goes more smoothly, wouldn't it be more beneficial to you? I believe you can understand this."
Nan Expo did not comment on Nan Youyue's statement, nodded silently, and then shook his head:
"I still can't understand...and I can't believe that Namboto would be such a person. Of course, I will arrange this matter. I have already contacted two of the experts."
"Maybe the results this time will give you an answer."
Nan Youyue didn't expect her eldest nephew to change her mind all of a sudden. After all, she often fell into such doubts when she discovered the anomalies in Nan Botu little by little. However, as more and more signs appeared, Only when it is confirmed repeatedly can we have to believe it. She shrugged, turned the pen in her hand, and said with a smile:
"I won't say anything more. Since you have arranged the affairs of the Luo family, I will go and add fuel to the fire to Nan Bohong himself. It just so happens that he has a moderate cooperation with my pharmaceutical factory. You can’t just let him get it easily, right? It’s next Tuesday, right? Humph.”
Nan Expo nodded, but a trace of cold sweat broke out on his back. Fortunately, he did not go against Nan Youyue, and even more fortunately, Nan Youyue was his "ally". He had a hunch that Nan Bohong would definitely not be able to escape this round.
I just don’t know what choice Nambotu will make.
…
As Ye Jue said, the old man of the Luo family was cruel this time and used the family property as a bargaining chip just to cure his wife's illness. Therefore, the Luo family was very lively that day. Whether directly or indirectly, the whole room was filled up. The doctors they invited lined up in a long line in front of the lobby and were examined by the housekeeper one by one. Only by identity can one be allowed to pass.
Ling Yao took advantage of Nan Bohong and the Ye family and did not join in the excitement of the long queue. But this actually shows in disguise that he is not a serious doctor at all. In short, the group quickly visited Mr. Luo under the guidance, and also met the children of the Luo family who had the most say in the main hall.
The famous medical experts invited by these people were naturally no longer in the long queue outside, and looking at the Luo family's attitude towards them, it was obvious that they were not just doing it for the sake of the Luo family.
When Mr. Ye and Ye Jue came in, their status was different from the others. Even Mr. Luo himself had to come to greet his old friend in person, not to mention there were two Nan family members here. The two parties exchanged cordial greetings and introduced their people to each other. The scene was quite enjoyable. But Ling Yao has noticed that many people are looking at him and Nan Bohong.
In fact, it's not like the old man has never thought about missing this "peak period", lest the Luo family think that he wants to get involved in other people's family affairs, which will cause unpleasant troubles then. But when Mr. Luo heard the news, he insisted on coming on the day of his family gathering - Ling Yao thought about it, maybe Mr. Luo was a little confused about his decision this time, and wanted to find an old friend to help him check out the details, which would be considered a pity. Town place.
Ling Yao just wants to comment on this: the old man is purely looking for his own fault.
Isn’t it natural for you, sons and daughters, to help your mother find a doctor? If you don't look for it, let them go? Do you have to put all your property on the line to make a bet, bring all your family conflicts to the surface, and let everyone fight with each other?
This method is quite popular, and many expert doctors can hear the news. But those who are a little bit sensible, who want face, safety, and stability, will not want to get involved in your housework - after all, doctors will never give patients a guarantee that your disease is 100% correct in my case. Can be cured. Not to mention geriatric diseases. If this is cured, he will become famous, but if he is not cured, his reputation will be ruined in this life.
That is to say, there is a strange Lin Tianyu in Fengcheng, who can even run over to rescue you. If there were no such "exceptional" people, none of the doctors called today would be able to withstand the problem.
"Now that the time has come, let's get started."
Luo Jianbin sat majestically, clapped his hands to those present and said.
All whispers fell silent.
The "protagonist" has not yet appeared, but the curtain has slowly opened.
