860: Chapter 50 The Wind Rises at Nanhua 3 (Sister Zhao Returns) 860: Chapter 50 The Wind Rises at Nanhua 3 (Sister Zhao Returns) Marriage alliances among mega-families are quite common, with traditions in history and needs in reality.

From zaibatsu alliances in the Japan-Korea region to marriage alliances between powerful families in the South Asian major country, to the aristocratic and wealthy merchant marriages in Europe and America, the practice of marital alliances is actually even more common than most people think.

Even in Hua Country, marriage alliances for economic interests are not unusual, and even more so….

However, Wolf’s status is indeed special, and Cheng Daqi deeply feels that this airplane ride isn’t one that can be freeloading off of.

“Do you still not have children until now?”

Wolf shook his head.

The streets of Shanghai were as bustling as ever, but this expression on the face of the super-rich at this moment had a touch of melancholy.

Whether it was real or fake, Cheng Daqi didn’t care.

“No, I didn’t expect it to be so sudden.”

How could it not be sudden?

President Cheng and Temir were operating wildly like they unleashed fury, forcefully pulling Wolf, who was already in the car, onto the fast track of life.

One second he was playing the obedient son in the family’s power struggles, the very next moment he was personally arranging for his old man to kick the bucket—the pace was just too fast.

“Wolf, I understand your thoughts, and I’m willing to help you, but as a friend, I want to remind you—to consider carefully with regards to marriage, that’s right, I’m not saying my advice is necessarily correct, just that I hope you’ll consider it carefully.”

“Haha, Cheng, you are always so cautious, but such comments actually underestimate me.”

Wolf had plenty of grievances added by President Cheng, and if Cheng Daqi was just the kind of fool who liked to openly vent, he would have actually felt quite relieved.

Is President Cheng troubled by the shrewdness of these opponents?

Wolf is likewise.

“The form of marriage may have been eliminated by history.

In the past, when productivity was undeveloped, the union of men and women could support each other and move forward.

The foundation of this union was the need for reproduction, the need for survival.

In ancient times and even in modern times, marriage alliances between mega-families could take better care of each other’s interests, hence the prevalence of such alliances.

But in my view, even if you were to enter into marriage with a daughter from any mega-family, it would be difficult to achieve the expected alliance for interests.

The interests of capital and personal interests have a bidirectional relationship.

You are no longer a completely natural person now.”

Thinking more profoundly, Wolf, with your current status, if one day you face a situation so dire that you need your wife’s family to help you, then at that time, does it still matter whether they help or not?”

This is Cheng Daqi’s own view on marriage.

The core of it is….

“The bidirectional relationship, I’m not a natural person, Cheng, your perspective is quite bold.”

Wolf fell into deep thought.

“Your interests and the interests of the capital you rely on do not necessarily align, Wolf.

Just the internal pressures alone are enough for you, why would you want to find someone to add complexity to the situation you face?

Moreover, those well-known new rich don’t care much whether their wives’ families are prominent.

All these things, in this era where capital is close to out of control, are trivial matters.

You are strong enough, even if you marry a man, you are still Wolf Dracula; your child can completely be borne by a surrogate, and it won’t impact the inheritance rights in the future—the worst case, just like Antony cultivating Achilles, you can slowly nurture him.”

Thinking of this, Cheng Daqi sighed somewhat helplessly.

“Of course, of course, Wolf, if you plan to live your life with every move calculated, then indeed your marriage can become a valuable card.”

Cheng Daqi is actually quite troubled by this issue.

Extremely troubled, that kind.

Calculating everything clearly, viewing marriage as fuel to burn for some kind of self-actualization goal, such behavior fits right in with the Climber’s original intention, but it’s just too outrageous.

After traveling such a long journey, defeating so many formidable enemies, making so many compromises, and in the end even sacrificing marriage….

When the warrior beheads the Evil Dragon in its castle, is what he achieves still called success?

“Are you giving a self-introduction?” Wolf said in jest.

Can’t blame him for saying so; in the eyes of Wolf, Niusen, these people, Cheng Daqi always takes step by step, almost treating everyone like a Shabi, tricking and calculating them.

The only two people who have ever outwitted Cheng Daqi are Wolf and Achilles.

The former is too important, the latter too heavy, and in the end, they break through with sheer force.

“Haha, at least I’ve never considered marriage alliances, which has nothing to do with whether you advised me initially or not.

By the way, do you know the consul at the Shanghai Consulate?”

Seeing Wolf didn’t want to go into detail, Cheng Daqi switched the topic as well.

“Not familiar, what about it?”

Cheng Daqi nodded slightly and sighed.

“The reason I invited you here to survey the Yangtze River Delta in Hua Country, apart from my hosting it, is that the consul from the America Shanghai Consulate will also accompany us.

The schedule is tight, starting tomorrow, so be mentally prepared.”

Wolf was stunned for a moment, then thoughtfully said.

“So, when Mike Pompeo called me, was it because you had already contacted him?”

Without saying, he would have thought it was due to his own status and charm….

The American consul at the Shanghai Consulate is a subordinate of the Secretary of State.

President Cheng explained his arrangements simply, and everything clicked for Wolf.

“No, it’s us, after all, he is also a person from California, Wolf.

We need to find the right person in DC who can represent us at some times.

He is just a proper target, nothing more.”

The Dracula Family Head was considering a different issue.
