Chapter 438 Fishing in troubled waters!

The reason why Xin Zhen was willing to take the risk was that Longhushan's Twenty-Four Governance System was not a subsidiary system, but a franchise system.

Although each franchise company is required to promote its corporate culture and pay franchise fees on a regular basis, the rest is up to each franchise company to operate independently. The head office, Longhushan, grants a trademark but does not directly participate in management.

They have no right to send personnel to franchised companies. At most they could send a store supervisor, the so-called Du Gong. But Xin Zhen was sent here with the title of Du Gong. He was a store supervisor and worked together with the store general manager.

Xin Zhen was in the early stages of starting a business, and at this time, a top Fortune 500 company endorsed him, which made it easier for him to recruit talent and attract students from prestigious universities.

Not only that, as long as Xin Zhen is willing to spend a lot of money, he can also hire some management from large companies, such as the current Fan Jijiu.

Fan Jie followed Xin Zhen not only because Xin Zhen was willing to give his child the surname Fan, but also because Xin Zhen wanted to be the leader of an area, and this area was the fertile Jiangnan East Road.

Although Fan Jie himself is very capable, it is obvious that he cannot inherit the Fan family's foundation, and he does not have much room to display his abilities. But if he comes to Xin Zhen, with the status of a father-in-law, he can firmly occupy a high position. His daughter is Xin Zhen's principal wife, and his grandson can inherit Xin Zhen's family business in the future.

If Xin Zhen could really take all of the East Road of Jiangnan into his possession, even if the empire was stabilized in the future, the imperial court would have to confer the title of a king or a marquis on him as a tribute. Wouldn't that be much better than having the Fan family?

Xin Zhen lived through several generations and became emperor twice. Although he himself did not become emperor once, his descendants became emperors and were later recognized as great-grandfather. How could such a person die simply because Zhang Gongyu appreciated him and regarded him as a confidant? His life was not that worthless, and his character was not that worthless either.

Therefore, although Zhang Gongyu intended to use him in this matter, Xin Zhen was not angry because, on the one hand, he also needed such cooperation, and on the other hand, he did not have the idea of ​​"a scholar will die for his friend", so naturally he would not have any extra emotions.

You use me and I use you, we are just the same.

In fact, the situation between him and Fan Jie was roughly similar. They both said nice things to each other, but it was just a transaction.

Fan Jie values ​​Xin Zhen's talent, but his daughter's reputation is ruined at the moment, and Xin Zhen is just a scapegoat.

Xin Zhen gladly accepted the offer simply because Fan Jie provided him with an opportunity to practice Taoism, and Fan Shiyi Niang had a good personality and was good-looking, making her a suitable wife, so there was nothing wrong with accepting the offer.

Xin Zhen used his son's surname, Fan, to attract Fan Jie, in fact, he also valued Fan Jie's vision.

Xin Zhen's vision is naturally good, after all, he has been in a high position for several lifetimes, but Fan Jie should have talent in this area, perhaps even some supernatural powers. This kind of professional is urgently needed by Xin Zhen.

Now that his startup company is just about to take off, a top HR will continue to generate revenue for the company, constantly introduce outstanding talents, and make the company full of vitality.

As for giving the son the surname Fan, that is just a small matter. It's nothing more than working harder in bed and having more children. It's just a small matter.

This is the reason why those who accomplish great things do not stick to any particulars.

On the second day, Fan Jie told Xin Zhen that he had already made arrangements with Fan Qi and could leave for Wujiang at any time. Xin Zhen was overjoyed.

Although I was not able to borrow any Jindan monks on this trip, I was able to get a top HR. Will I still be worried about not having Jindan monks in the future?
Xin Zhen was very happy and asked Xin Qi, Ren Yingying and others to prepare to leave. Fan Jie also began to prepare for the ceremony. The next day, they quietly left Fan's house.

Xin Zhen was very happy, but Fan Jie and his wife looked a little gloomy, especially Mrs. Fan, who kept looking at Xin Zhen, fearing that he was unhappy. But when she saw that Xin Zhen was not unhappy, she was relieved.

Fan Jie privately told Xin Zhen: "The Fan family has seized a lot of territory recently. Several counties around Luyang have fallen into the hands of the Fan family, but the Fan family will not go far."

Xin Zhen was surprised and asked, "Why do you say that? I think Fan's private army is very well-trained, with many experts, and its strength in Anhui is second to none. Why does my father-in-law say that it is not long-term?"

Fan Jie sneered and said, "Although I am not talented, I have earned the reputation of being a peerless talent scout, but the Fan family only treats me as a loser in the officialdom.

Although Hua Dynasty no longer exists, you are the top scholar through hard work, so they don't take you seriously.

You've been here for a few days, but no one from the tribe came. When we wanted to leave, they just pretended not to know.

If he is so cruel to his own clan members, how could he be any better towards his generals and their followers?

A force that does not value talent, no matter how powerful it may seem now, will eventually decline. You must remember this, Weizhi, talent is the most important thing. "

Xin Zhen couldn't help but feel happy that he was able to recruit Fan Jie. Everyone knows that talents are rare, but how many people can truly value talents?

Later countries have specifically emphasized that the 21st century is the century of talents, but how many countries and organizations can truly implement it and take it seriously?
Knowing is easy, but doing is difficult.

Xin Zhen nodded sincerely and said, "I will remember this. From now on, no matter whether I am on the rise or in dire straits, I will always respect professionalism and value talent!"

Fan Jie nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's right. Remember your current attitude and practice it throughout your life. Even if you can't occupy all the Jiangnan East Road in the future, your achievements will not be low."

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Father-in-law, I don't even have a single useful person at my disposal right now. What can you teach me?" Fan Jie scratched his head when he heard this and said, "Everything is difficult at the beginning. Although you can now recruit people under the name of Longhu Mountain, to be honest, it is just a name.

As an old master in the martial arts world, everyone knows the grudge between Longhu Mountain and the Dragon Clan, but not many are willing to wade into this muddy water.

If you ask young people, their cultivation level won't be high enough, and they won't be able to help you much, so this won't be easy."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Father-in-law, you must have a way, right?"

Fan Jie smiled and said, "You boy..."

Fan Jie paused and said, "...Of course there is a way, otherwise why would I follow you?"

His expression gradually became gloomy, and he said, "I came to Jiangnan East Road with you, firstly for Eleventh Lady, and secondly..." His eyes gradually became sharp.

“…Some grudges can never be forgotten no matter how long it has been.

You must also know that my sister, Eleventh Lady's aunt Fan Sanniang, was the one who caused the fall of Chuzhou City because of the evil deeds done by the Purple-Eyed Dragon King.

And how could the Purple-Eyed Dragon King accomplish such a great feat without the secret support of the Dragon Clan? I absolutely do not believe it.

I have been serving as a priest in Xuzhou these years to investigate the truth of the past. I have found some clues. The Dragon Clan is definitely involved!"

Xin Zhen frowned when he heard this. Since he arrived in the capital, he has heard about the Chuzhou case thirty years ago over and over again. It seems that all the major forces are related to the Chuzhou case.

The Dao Lu Si lost a group of elites because of the siege of Chuzhou, and the major inheritances lost an entire generation.

The Fan family lost Fan Sanniang, and Fan Jie, a prominent figure at the time, was forced to serve as a state chief priest for more than twenty years.

The talented person of Mount Laoshan therefore slayed demons and monsters for more than twenty years and became Yaoguang Zhenren.

Gongyang Fu lived in seclusion for thirty years and never made an official appearance again.

The biggest impact was that the Hua Dynasty exposed its weakness because of the siege of Chuzhou, and then thirty years later the capital was captured by a tide of beasts, the royal family was wiped out, and heroes all over the world competed for supremacy.

So, what exactly happened back then?
Fan Jie said: "These are all old stories, let's not talk about them for now. Weizhi, after returning to Wujiang, how do you plan to open up the situation?"

If anyone else had asked, Xin Zhen could have just answered the question casually, but Fan Jie was his most important partner now, so he naturally couldn't fool him like that.

"Take advantage of the situation."

Xin Zhen said: "...There are too many forces eyeing the fat piece of meat in Jiangnan East Road. The Dragon Clan is the most powerful among them, but the Dragon Clan did not go ashore and did not actually occupy it.

The Dao Lu Si is the second largest force among them, but the Dao Lu Si was not involved in actual management before. It was mainly responsible for suppressing aliens and people, and did not have actual possession.

Moreover, a major event occurred in the capital, Gongyang Fu recalled most of the elites, and the Daoluo Division was already in a state of contraction.

Now, the ones who actually occupy the eastern part of Jiangnan are the powerful families of Jiangnan. The children of the powerful families of Jiangnan occupy a large number of official positions. As the imperial court declined, they took the opportunity to occupy various departments.

Of course, they did not form a unified force, and the power of various families in the government offices of various states was intertwined.

Together they divided up the taxes, talents, and various resources of Jiangnan East Road.

People from various major inheritances have probably already entered Jiangnan East Road and started to grab territory under various names.

At this time, the eastern route of Jiangnan, like the entire world, was already a situation of scramble for supremacy among many heroes, and the situation was extremely complicated.

But this is also one of the reasons why I am willing to agree to it. If the world is peaceful, I will definitely not take over. But now it is different. It is easier to fish in muddy waters where good and bad people mix together.

My identity has many borrowed aspects. I am still a member of the Daoluo Division and can have a say with them.

I am a native of Jiangnan East Road. Although the Xin family is not a noble family, it is still a big family. I have had some communication and exchanges with those noble families, so I can always have a say.
As for the government, my status as the top scholar is somewhat useful. Although the Hua Dynasty is gone, the Shilin is still there. In addition, I, the son-in-law of the Fan family, should also be of some use, right?"

Fan Jie laughed when he heard this.
