Chapter Eighty-Seven: Changes in the Shen Family

Today, the villa hall is very lively, when it is resting, Lin Wen father and son, Wang Kunzhi and his wife, Kong Qi, Zhao Jun, Shen Shiyi, Wang Xiaofei brothers and sisters, so many people get together, hard work Sister Dong, busy and busy, fortunately, several women also helped.

The lunch was very rich, with Shen Shiyi as a guest, plus Zhao Jun can be regarded as half a guest, but this Zhao Jun doesn't look like a guest, she treats this place as her own home, there is no sense of seeing anything extraordinary, and what is more troublesome is that her eyes are always sweeping between Lin Wen and Kong Qi, as if she wants to find some flaws, or just stare at Shen Shiyi and Lin Wen's actions. A woman's intuition has a natural perception, subtle and unreasonable, but often accurate.

After the meal, Xiao Lin Feng was taken by Kong Qi to study, and Lin Wen, Shen Shiyi, and Zhao Jun went to the study on the second floor to drink tea.

"Shiyi, is something happening?" Lin Wen didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly, from Shen Shiyi's demeanor and demeanor, he had already judged that something must have happened.

Shen Shiyi was playing with the teacup in her hand, and after listening to Lin Wen's question, her expression was a little complicated, and she finally said it:

The Shen family was originally not a big company in Nangang, after most of her grandfather's struggle, the company has grown by leaps and bounds, and the scale has expanded a lot, which is considered to have a place in Nangang, and later with the efforts of her father and two uncles, the company has developed rapidly, but once the company enters the fast track development mode, it will inevitably lead to a weak foundation, and the competition with peers is becoming increasingly fierce, and various drawbacks and contradictions are soon revealed, which is the drawbacks brought about by rapid development. Especially the problem of capital, if you want the company to expand rapidly or enhance the company's status, you must have sufficient funds as a guarantee, once the capital chain has problems or breaks, it will inevitably lead to insufficient supply and damage to the company. In the previous stage, because the impact of several of the company's jewelry stores was too fierce, although the expansion was rapid, the supply of medium and high-end jadeite was unsustainable, and it could not supplement the sales volume. This is also caused by the over-optimism and misjudgment of decision-makers. There is not such a large supply guarantee, and several other companies take advantage of the situation to occupy the market and squeeze the Shen family market together, and the Shen family is seriously damaged.

Since Shen Shiyi's grandfather semi-retired, the company handed over to Shen Shiyi's father Shen Botao to preside over the company's affairs, the last time in Pingzhou gambling stone lost a lot of money, or Lin Wen for him to solve some high-end jadeite, but it can only be maintained for a period of time, the inventory of mid-range jadeite has been consumed, and now the company is facing an unsustainable situation, if there is no jadeite raw material supplement, can only close the jewelry store one after another.

The reason for this situation also has an impact on the decisions made by the Burmese authorities. In order to increase the tax on jadeite, the government strictly controls the export of rough stones, which not only leads to a sharp rise in the price of rough stones, but also the price of jadeite has risen sharply, many jewelers have suffered from it, and many small and medium-sized jewelry stores have not much inventory, and now it is not only a problem of price, but also facing the difficult dilemma of purchasing jadeite raw materials.

Shen Shiyi's two uncles even took advantage of this opportunity to unite to attack Shen Botao, and kept suppressing Shen Shiyi, intending to seize the dominant power of the company. Shen Shiyi has contributed a lot to the company over the years, and now the company is in trouble, not only can the two uncles not be in the same boat, but they take advantage of this trouble, which makes her also disheartened, so she simply came to say goodbye and ran away from home.

"Shiyi, hasn't your company been running very well, how did it become like this all of a sudden?" Lin Wen asked.

Shen Shiyi said: "Some time ago, the momentum of development was very good, and we also took the opportunity to open two more stores, but I didn't expect that Pingzhou Gongpan basically did not receive much jadeite, and the supply of jadeite has not been supplied, and now it is a high price to buy jadeite everywhere to support the company's operation, the company has fallen into a state of loss, plus the siege of several companies, so it has led to the current situation." ”

Lin Wen drank the tea slowly, was silent for a while, and asked, "Does your father still want to continue to be in charge of the company?"

"My father put a lot of effort into the company, and of course he still wants to keep the company running and not let it fall. But grandpa's current opinion is also a little shaken, and with the third uncle on the side, grandpa gradually began to support the second uncle, and his father is also very distressed. ”

This is really not easy to do, I originally planned to help them, there are a lot of high-end jadeite in the basement, even a large company does not necessarily have its own savings. But there is a power struggle within the Shen family, this is their housework, what can they do after they help? Sooner or later, her two wolf-ambitious uncles will have to jump out, and if they can help for a while, they can't solve the root cause. Forget it, it's better not to meddle in other people's affairs, so as not to get into trouble.

"Shiyi, have you ever thought of doing it yourself?" Lin Wen wanted to explore Shen Shiyi's thoughts.

Shen Shiyi didn't expect Lin Wen to ask this. In fact, I also thought about running a company alone, but it requires a lot of upfront investment, although I am very glorious in the company, but it is the family's money, only three percent of the shares belong to me, and I can only pay dividends every year, if I want to transfer, it can only be transferred within the family, and my father only accounts for ten percent. It is good to be able to share two million a year in the company, plus the salary in the company, at most more than three million a year, or how to look at Lin Wen after selling hundreds of millions of jadeite to the Shen family, he is envious! The rest of the jewelry industry is good to say, the key is the problem of jadeite raw materials, which requires a lot of funds to ensure the inventory of different grades of jadeite, and is unwilling to open a small store, so it has been in contradiction and entanglement.

"Opening a jewelry store in Nangang also has a lot of investment, and I don't have the strength to do it myself. Shen Shiyi said very frankly.

"What if it's in Jincheng?" Lin Wen asked.

Shen Shiyi looked at Lin Wen and said: "I am actually very optimistic about the development potential of Jincheng, the inland has developed very fast in recent years, Jincheng is a big city after all, and it is a coastal city, and the tourism industry is also developing very well, I think it is a good choice to open a jewelry store here." Some time ago, I also investigated, and I had the intention to invest in the company, but ......"

"Okay, don't be sad, the company's affairs will always be solved, it's a big deal to close a few stores and reduce the scale of operation, the Shen family has been in business for so many years, the foundation is still there, and the loss is not big, the Shen family can still survive. Lin Wen comforted her.

Seeing that Shen Shiyi was silent, Lin Wen said: "Shiyi, come out and do it yourself, your uncle can take the opportunity to make trouble this time, and there will definitely be a next time." Let me tell you, I have some jadeite in my hand, but I can help you this time, what about next time? I also have the idea of opening a jewelry store, if you are willing to come out to do it, why don't you come and help me, I can guarantee the funds and raw materials, you think about it!"

Lin Wen looked at Zhao Jun: "Girl, you call Kong Qi, take Miss Shen to the hot springs, relax, and let Sister-in-law Zhou accompany you, you three beautiful women are like flowers, there is no trouble wherever you go, and I can rest assured that Sister-in-law Zhou will accompany you." By the way, bring Xiaofeng with you and let the children go to play too, go ahead. ”

Zhao Jun stretched out his hand, huh? What does this mean? Zhao Jun saw Lin Wen's puzzled face, and said: "Money, if you don't take the money, do you still let me pay for the salary?"

Lin Wen smiled bitterly, and Shen Shiyi couldn't help but purse her lips and snicker.

Lin Wen opened the drawer, took out a wad of money, and put it in Zhao Jun's hand, Zhao Jun took the money, raised his hand, and pulled up Shen Shiyi: "Let's go, let's play!"
