Chapter 778: The Rich Second Generation Who Doesn't Want to Take Over
"I see. ”
Feng Xiaochen breathed a sigh of relief. At first, he thought that Quanfu Company had encountered some operational difficulties, or that it had been blackmailed, so that Ruan Phuc Gen said that the company was going to close. Now that I heard it, I realized that there was no problem with the company's operation, but something happened to the heir.
For Nguyen Phuc Gen, his full hope is that his son will inherit his company, and the situation of the heir is far more anxious than the company's business difficulties. Feng Xiaochen, as an outsider, doesn't have such a heavy mind, in his opinion, Ruan Shouchao's reluctance to take over is not a big deal, it's a big deal to find a professional manager to take charge of the company, why do you have to succeed your father?
Nguyen Phuc Gen made a fortune, but he has to admit that he is still a farmer in his bones, and his own business must be managed by his son, which is a deep-rooted concept in his heart. In fact, he has two daughters, both of whom are married, and their sons-in-law are also quite capable young people, but Ruan Phuc Gen will never hand over the business to his daughter and son-in-law.
Perhaps because he couldn't convince his son, Ruan Fugen traveled all the way to the capital to ask Feng Xiaochen for help, and in Ruan Fugen's mind, there was no difficulty that Feng Xiaochen couldn't solve. He forgot an ancient adage, it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs, Feng Xiaochen is the general manager of an equipment company, how can he do this kind of thing of the aunt of the neighborhood committee?
Feng Xiaochen understood Ruan Fugen's thoughts, and it was inconvenient to refuse his request, so he began to ask: "Why is your son not interested in chemical equipment? He is not interested in this, so what is he interested in?"
Ruan Phuc Gen shook his head and said, "He won't say it, and I won't understand him when he says it." In short, he just didn't want to do chemical equipment, so he asked me to hand over the company to someone else to operate, and he didn't want a penny and went out to start his own business. ”
"Isn't that quite ambitious?" Feng Xiaochen commented with a smile.
"Shouchao has always been very ambitious. Ruan Fugen heard Feng Xiaochen praise his son, and couldn't help but add proudly. However, after saying that, the expression on his face returned to depression, and he said: "How can he let me hand over the company to someone else to run? I make so much money, isn't it all for him? I have suffered all my life, how can I let him start a business from scratch again?"
"It's not necessary to start from scratch, if he says what industry he wants to do, isn't it a good thing for you to use Quanfu's assets to support him to do it?" Feng Xiaochen said.
Ruan Fugen shook his head: "He won't say what he wants to do." He is as young as a group of people as old as him, and he drives a sports car to play around every day, spending all day drinking, I guess he said that he wants to create a business is also a liar, how can he have a little entrepreneurial look. ”
"Why didn't I see it? Feng Xiaochen said in surprise. He has met Ruan Shouchao several times, and his impression of this young man is still good, and he always feels that there is a gap with the expression of Huatian and wine.
Ruan Fugen hurriedly changed his words and said, "It can't be regarded as a day of drinking." After all, the family has a little money, eating better, dressing better, and driving a better car is nothing. Now there are more rich people in Hoi An, and our generation is not particularly particular about consumption, that is, to drive a good car and make some pomp and circumstance for outsiders to see. But their younger generation is different, the trend of eating and dressing is still quite prosperous, Shouchao wants to make friends with others, and it is not okay if he doesn't follow along. ”
Feng Xiaochen knew the situation in Haidong Province, and he didn't dwell too much on this issue, but just asked, "So, Lao Ruan, what do you want me to do?"
Ruan Phuc Gen said: "I want to ask you to help me persuade my son, so that he should not be too ambitious, but stay in the company to take over my shift." I will be 60 years old next year, and I want to enjoy a few years of happiness, as long as he can take over, I will completely hand over the company to him. Although my company is not big, it also has more than a billion assets, isn't it enough for him?"
"Children may have their own ideas, but we as parents can't force them, right?" Feng Xiaochen said.
"I know that, too. Nguyen Phuc Gen sighed, "I talked to him, but he didn't listen to anything and wouldn't tell me about his plans. I think Mr. Feng, you have the best way, can you help me talk to him, it is best to persuade him to change his mind. In fact, the management of the company is now very standardized, Liang Chen and several of them are old people who have followed me for more than 20 years, and their loyalty to the company is not said. If Shouchao takes over, he doesn't need to do anything daily, he wants to do something he likes, and he won't delay. ”
"Where is Shouchao now, did he come to the capital with you?" Feng Xiaochen asked.
Nguyen Phuc Gen said: "He's in Hoi An. I came to the capital to look for you this time, and I didn't tell him in advance, I was afraid that he would resist. If you agree to talk to him, I will ask him to come to the capital and find a time that is convenient for you to talk to you. I believe that you, Mr. Feng, will definitely be able to convince him. ”
Feng Xiaochen thought for a while and said, "There is no need for him to come to the capital, I originally planned to go to Haidong recently, and I happened to go to Hoi An and Shouchao to meet on the way." This doesn't seem too deliberate, and when you talk to him, he will feel less resistance. ”
"That's so, that's great!" Ruan Fugen was overjoyed, he also knew that it was a little inappropriate to call his son to the capital to talk to Feng Xiaochen, his son was resistant to this matter, and let him come over to listen to Feng Xiaochen's persuasion, I was afraid that it would make him even more disgusted. If Feng Xiaochen goes to Quanfu Company in the name of visiting by the way, and arranges another opportunity for his son to be alone with Feng Xiaochen, the communication between the two will be smoother.
Ruan Shouchao's succession is not so urgent. Nguyen Phuc Gen is not yet 60 years old and is not yet ready to retire. According to his original plan, let his son intern in the workshop for a period of time, and then slowly promote him, participate in sales, management and other work, and finally become the general manager, while Ruan Phuc Gen himself became the chairman, and then helped his son take the helm for a few years, and finally completely handed over the shift. The reason why Ruan Fugen is in a hurry now is because his son threatened not to take over, and he was worried that his son would do what he said, so he hurriedly ran to the capital to find Feng Xiaochen for help.
Ruan Phuc Gen stayed in the capital for two days, during which he came to the equipment company again, talked with Leng Feiyun and others about undertaking the development of equipment projects, and then returned to Hoi An.
Feng Xiaochen originally had arrangements to go to Haidong to inspect the work, but with Ruan Fugen's case, he asked Meng Yang to advance the time to Haidong. A few days later, he appeared in front of the luxurious office building of Quanfu Machinery Company in Hoi An.
"Mr. Feng, welcome!"
Ruan Fugen took a cadre of the company's executives downstairs to greet Feng Xiaochen. Because it was a private visit, Feng Xiaochen didn't even bring his secretary Meng Yang, and came to Quanfu Company by himself. Over the years, Quanfu Company has undertaken many projects of the equipment industry company, and is an important partner of the equipment company.
Those who came out to greet Feng Xiaochen with Ruan Fugen included his wife Wang Meijuan, his son Ruan Shouchao, and some senior executives and important middle-level cadres of the company. More than half of these executives and middle-level executives have some relationship with Nguyen Phuc Gen, but the relationship is not as close as that of Wang Ruidong in the past. Among the executives who are not related, the highest position is Deputy General Manager Liang Chen, and Feng Xiaochen is also familiar with him. There is another thing that Feng Xiaochen doesn't know, that is, Liang Chen knew Du Xiaodi before he met Feng Xiaochen, and even had some thoughts about Du Xiaodi.
Liang Chen was Ruan Phucken's little follower as early as the early 80s, and he has done a lot of things for Quanfu Company over the years, coupled with his loyalty to the company, so he was promoted by Ruan Phuc Gen all the way, and is now the nominal second-in-command of Quanfu Company. I say "nominally" because Ruan Fugen's wife Wang Meijuan is in charge of administrative logistics in the company, and his son Ruan Shouchao is in charge of production in the workshop, and their positions are lower than Liang Chen's, but who dares to say that Liang Chen's power is greater than theirs?
The employees in the family business are all discerning and know who is the boss and who is just a professional manager, and when there is a conflict of views between Ruan Shouchao and Liang Chen, the employees below will definitely not follow Liang Chen's instructions, but will secretly go to Ruan Fugen for instructions, and let Ruan Fugen determine who to listen to. Liang Chen is not dissatisfied with this situation, as an employee with a foreign surname, he is already very satisfied to be able to reach today's position. Ruan Fugen has told him more than once that after he retires, he hopes that Liang Chen can become Ruan Shouchao's right-hand man, which is equivalent to the kind of old minister in costume dramas.
Liang Chen's situation is different from that of Wang Ruidong. Wang Ruidong is Ruan Fugen's brother-in-law and Ruan Shouchao's maternal uncle. If Wang Ruidong stays in the company and holds authority, Ruan Shouchao is completely likely to be overridden by him. Even if Wang Ruidong does not have such an idea, it is inevitable that others will think like this and make some articles from it. Liang Chen is not a relative of the Ruan family, and in a private enterprise that is completely connected by kinship, he naturally has blood flaws, so no matter how high his position is, he will not threaten Ruan Shouchao's status. Ruan Shouchao wanted to return to the company to take over, Wang Ruidong had to go away, but Liang Chen could stay in a high position, and the disadvantage in blood was actually an advantage.
"Sister-in-law, hello! Compared with the last time I came, sister-in-law, you seem to be a few years younger, standing with Xiaodi, people can't tell who is the sister and who is the sister. When Feng Xiaochen shook hands with Wang Meijuan, he complimented her with a smile, which made Wang Meijuan laugh, and the wrinkles on her face stretched out one by one, and she really looked like she was less than 60 years old. Well, in fact, she is just over 50 years old.
