Chapter 33: Secret Conversation in the Tea Room

In the winter of the capital, everything is bleak.

The most enchanting thing is the clear blue sky and the warm, golden-like sunshine.

Dongsi North Street, Collaboration Hutong, Ginkgo Mansion Club.

This very intimate courtyard house is a high-end private clubhouse that has been renovated into a courtyard house, so named because there is a ginkgo tree with a history of more than 300 years in the courtyard.

The clubhouse was once the residence of the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, with two entrances before and after, covering an area of 2,000 square meters, with a simple and elegant architectural style and a noble atmosphere. The pavilions and pavilions in the courtyard are connected, the covered bridge is surrounded by flowing water, and the fish fly to the shallow bottom, which is refreshing and pleasant.

Ye Shikun leaned on the sofa, his eyes slightly closed, as if admiring the sound of the beautiful pianist in cheongsam playing the guzheng on the side of the room.

He seemed to be listening carefully and thinking about the words of the guys next to him.

In this antique private room, there is a set of tea on the coffee table in the middle, and the tea is boiling.

Next to it are a humidor and a purple sand ashtray.

On the sofa around, in addition to Ye Shikun, there were four other people sitting.

They are his three cousins: Ye Shiduo, deputy director of the project development department of Yuanfeng Group (son of the second uncle), Ye Shiting, deputy director of the economic and trade cooperation department of Yuanfeng Group, and Ye Shixuan, deputy director of the asset management department of Yuanfeng Group (both of whom are the sons of the third uncle).

Another man in his early 30s, dressed in formal clothes and with a calm demeanor, is Dr. Sun Wei, deputy general manager of Yuanfeng Group, director of corn research and development, director of the biotechnology committee, and also graduated from Cornell University's College of Agriculture.

At this moment, Sun Wei is doing it himself, making tea for everyone.

These four people can be said to be Ye Shikun's main team in Yuanfeng Group......

No way, his time as general manager at that time was too short, in addition to the three cousins who had been looking forward to him, he only had time to poach Dewey, who was originally a research and development scientist at DuPont Pioneer, from the United States with a high salary.

Before he had time to make a big move, Ye Shikun was "kicked out" of the board of directors......

But fortunately, Ye Shiduo and the three of them won't talk about it, they have a deep background, and Dewey's own qualifications in the industry are enough, even if Ye Shikun leaves, Dewey still sits firmly in the position of vice president, and is not left behind.

Ye Lanting also gave enough respect to high-end talents like Dewey.

"Brother Kun, now it is all over the company, saying that you will be back soon and re-serve as president, everyone is very excited......"

"Brother Kun, I heard my dad say that my uncle told him that he regretted letting you go at that time......"

"Brother Kun, come back quickly, you don't know, after you left, Liu Jianjun, Han Zhao and their old guys made the company miserable, and they knew the qualifications of the old man all day long, didn't they just play the role of Bi Gong in front of the uncle, no one knew about them! My father and second uncle are good-tempered, and they are too lazy to fight with them for ......."

Several cousins were talking babblingly, their faces were excited.

These guys are all fart worms who grew up behind Ye Shikun's buttocks, Ye Lanting's three brothers have a good relationship, when they were busy starting a business, Ye Shikun took a few little guys to play, so now, everyone has grown up and still has great respect for Ye Shikun.

However, these boys have limited ability, and the family puts them in the position of deputy director of the group headquarters and various departments, just to let them have something to do, don't spend a day like a gentleman, spending all day drinking and fooling around.

Counting on them to inquire about the news, their channels are very wide, but the real big things can not be counted on them.

After the company developed to a certain scale, especially after listing, the second and third uncles only retained the company's shares and basically withdrew from the actual management of the company.

In the board of directors, the previous generation of the Ye family, in addition to Ye Lanting, only the eldest aunt Ye Lanjun remained.

Ye Shikun listened for a while, waved his hand, interrupted their words, and looked at Dewey.

"Lao Du, how is the company's situation now?"

Only then did Dewey speak: "Kun Shao, the situation is not very good. ”

"Affected by the international financial crisis, international food prices have fallen sharply since they rose to the peak of this cycle in June last year, and in October they fell by an average of 47% compared with June," he reported in detail. In the domestic market, in addition to the stable operation of wheat and rice prices under the support of national policies, the prices of corn, soybeans, pork and other products have declined to varying degrees. Maize prices fell by 9.4 percent and soybean prices by 31.5 percent in November...... Although the production of the company's various products increased last year, the actual profit is declining. ”

"In addition to the company's core planting industry, the profits of aquaculture, agricultural product processing, and fertilizer companies have all declined, and the situation is different......"

"Moreover, every time it comes to the grain harvest season, the company's capital chain is very tight, and it borrows a large number of bridge loans from major banks, which is very risky!"

He looked at Ye Shikun and said seriously: "Kun Shao, I always think that the plan you made for the transformation of the group at the beginning is very correct! It is urgent to take the road of high-tech agriculture, engage in large-scale, data-based and intelligent mechanized planting, improve the scientific and technological content and productivity of products, and enhance the competitiveness of products...... Moreover, the combination of financial capital and agricultural capital is also imperative...... If you do come back, I will do my best!"

Although he is full of talent, after Ye Shikun left, many of the rationalization suggestions he put forward were not supported by the board of directors, or even if they were approved, they could not mobilize the group's resources to promote, and many things were powerless, so he looked forward to Ye Shikun's return in a mood that was not much worse than Ye Shiduo and others.

Ye Shikun nodded, and his eyes turned to Ye Shiduo and Ye Shiting again.

"Shiduo, the project development department is responsible for participating in the company's new project planning, market positioning and putting forward specific opinions, this is very important, the group will transform in the future, the new project will be the highlight, I put you in the project development department, but not for you to play, many people in your department are the elites I dug out of future strategic considerations, you have to maintain the personnel in the department, you know?"

Ye Shiduo nodded honestly: "I know, Brother Kun." ”

"Shiting, the Ministry of Economic and Trade Cooperation is responsible for the planning and negotiation of cooperation with other enterprises of the group company, and all the important partners of the company are in your department. ”

Ye Shiting smiled: "Don't worry, Brother Kun, I have a good relationship with these companies, just eat, drink and sing together if you have nothing to do!"

This kid is also very handsome, and he is the second biggest playboy in the Ye family besides Ye Shikun.

Ye Shikun's face was flat: "What is the relationship between eating, singing, and drinking! I will give you a task, within a month, to make a detailed report on the situation of all key partners of the group, including their current main person in charge, preferences, personality and ability, etc., the business development of each company, financial data, etc., as well as the increase and decrease in the scale of cooperation with Yuanfeng in the past two years, all of which are sorted out for me. I'll be useful then!"

This kid has the ability, but he is always a little out of tune.

Ye Shiting honestly grimaced and replied.

Ye Shikun looked at Ye Shixuan again.

"Shixuan, the asset management department is responsible for researching market policies and information, planning and standardizing marketing operations, responsible for brand planning and management, and responsible for organizing, coordinating and managing the planning, establishment and operation of the logistics industry in the reclamation area, which is very important. I know you're working hard, but after all, you're still young, I won't put too much pressure on you in this area, you can select a few trustworthy and capable people from the department in a few days, and then report to me in detail about the situation in the department. ”

In the company, in addition to the strategic development and financial investment department under his own name, the core departments are in addition to the financial asset management department, and the departments where Ye Shiduo and the three are all key departments, although they are only deputy directors, but with the identity of the Ye family, they are actually enough to exert influence.

Ye Shixuan nodded: "Brother Kun, I know!"

Ye Shikun said to Dewey: "Lao Du, I will send you an email after I go back, which contains the information of some high-tech agricultural companies that I have invested in, you can study which ones are valuable to the group now, and which ones are promising, and we will meet again when the time comes." ”

Dewey smiled and nodded, looking excited.

Ye Shikun raised the teacup with a smile: "Then I will replace the wine with tea, and I will toast everyone!"

The four of them raised their teacups one after another, looked at each other with a smile, and lowered their heads to drink tea.

Although Ye Shikun did not directly answer their words.

But after his arrangement, everyone knows one thing very clearly: Kun Shao is really ready to return!
