Chapter 7 Father and Son Talk
Xiao Bai hasn't been home for a while, he is very busy working in the law firm, in order to go to work nearby, he bought a house in the community next to the office last year, and usually lives there. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info He has never been interested in his father's career, and his father is also very approving of his career as a lawyer. It's just that he and his father are busy with their own work, and they don't often meet in the same city.
At dinner, he felt his father's somewhat unnatural reaction to his sister's seeing Yang Yifan. Just now, he signaled himself to wait for him in the study, and after more contact with the case, Xiao Bai felt that his nerves were a little nervous, and he intuitively felt that his father was going to talk to him about something special.
The furniture in the study is all mahogany, which my father loved, a row of bookcases, a desk, and a boss's chair. My father loved to read, and the bookcase was neatly arranged with all kinds of books. In the most conspicuous position, there is a group photo of their family of four. When his mother died, Xiao Bai was only 12 years old, and the sudden loss of his mother caught him off guard, but fortunately, his father allowed him and his sister to grow up healthily.
Maybe it's really when you lose something that you realize how much you care about it. One day a few years after his mother's death, he inadvertently saw his father put away his mother's photo and took it out, and finally put it away.
This group photo in the bookcase is the only one in the family with a picture of his mother, and my father keeps this group photo in his study, also because this is my father's private place, and he and his sister usually do not come. Thinking of this, Xiao Bai's reverence for his father deepened......
The sound of his father's powerful footsteps brought back his thoughts.
"Xiao Bai. The father pushed open the half-hidden door and whispered his son's name.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Xiao Bai took the red wine and red wine glass from his father's hand, "Didn't you drink it just now, what's wrong?"
Xiao Jianfeng opened the door smoothly, "Dad has something I want to talk to you about." ”
There was only one chair in the study, and the father and son had to lean on the edge of the bed and drink a glass of wine each. The bright lights of the night make the city even more vibrant. And they have their own thoughts, and they seem a little lonely in this lively city.
"Xiao Bai", Xiao Jianfeng took a sip of wine, finally spoke, and paused, "Son." Dad had a problem. ”
Father's words were extremely difficult, and Xiao Bai couldn't help frowning, "What's wrong?"
"Our farm was unilaterally cancelled by Lihua Group. Xiao Jianfeng took a sip of wine, and the "hotel cooperation project in Singapore" was another painful pause, "and it was also terminated......"
"Dad, what's going on? Hasn't our cooperation with Lihua always been very stable? I haven't heard you mention much about the Singapore project, but you have never done anything unprepared?"
Unexpectedly, after being fully prepared, he was sent off by the referee when he was about to kick the goal!
Xiao Jianfeng told his son how he went to Singapore with confidence, how he was going to show his strength at the exhibition, and how he was directly canceled from the competition by Yang Yifan's boy, "So, I heard that the recent stock crash is also true?"
"Yes, when the disaster comes, they are flying separately, no wonder no one! I haven't found out which link is wrong with the supply of the farm, and the project in Singapore is imminent, so I have to concentrate, but I didn't expect the project to be yellow, and the impact of the farm is getting heavier and heavier. ”
Xiao Bai looked at his father affectionately, his father, who was over half a hundred years old, his temples were already a little gray, he wanted to think of a clever plan to help his father tide over the difficulties, but he had never been in contact with the family business, and he didn't know where to start for a while......
Xiao Jianfeng lowered his head and thought about it, and then continued, "Actually, I have a little suspicion that Lihua Group is making trouble, our plan was originally more recognized by the Singapore government, but in the end it was ......."
"Dad, you and Uncle Lihua have been friends for so many years, maybe there is a misunderstanding in the middle, have you asked him?"
"Don't you know, now Lao Yang doesn't care about substantive affairs, and Yang Yifan is responsible for the affairs of Lihua Group. ”
"Yifan is still inexperienced, so Uncle Yang is so relieved to hand over the company to him?"
"Perhaps it is precisely because of his lack of experience and eagerness to make meritorious contributions that it is difficult to guarantee that he will not use some extraordinary means......
"Dad, I've known Yifan for so many years, I know him as a person, he is not the kind of person who will use cunning means to obtain benefits. Besides, he ......"
Xiao Bai glanced at his father, forget it, don't mention Xiao Xiao and Yifan at this time......
"Hmph, it's better not him!"
The father and son of the Xiao family leaned against the window and had a long talk, and the father and son of the Yang family were also locked in the study, chatting about the topics between their men.
There are too many things in the company, and Yifan didn't go home for dinner. The hotel project in Singapore has just established a partnership, and the hotel's catering supply has just changed partners, and there are many details that he needs to decide on personally. After sending Xiao Xiao home, he immediately returned to the company. This office on the top floor of the commercial building of Lihua Group is a large office with a view overlooking the center of Yangcheng City. The independent pattern can well avoid interference from the outside world. Yifan worked until seven o'clock, ate some dinner prepared by the assistant, and then drove home.
His mother was watching the news in the living room, motioning for his father to wait for him in the study, and she didn't seem to be in a good mood and didn't ask why. When the son returned, he told him to go up and talk to his father.
The father and son sat facing each other, and Yang Lihua fiddled with his tea set, ready to make a good pot of tea for his son to dispel his tiredness. Yifan likes to drink his father's tea, although he often drinks it, he can't always brew this taste of his father.
"Dad knows, you've grown up. Have your own ideas for doing things. But you have only been in the company for a few years, and sometimes, you still have to pay attention to the ways and means. Yang Lihua said slowly.
Yifan knew what his father meant, and took a sip of tea, "I know, but reform, there will always be people who have to make sacrifices, which is inevitable." “
Yang Lihua knew his son's position and didn't say much. In fact, before, he also considered that he wanted to change some fresh blood for Lihua, but after so many years of quiet operation, he was afraid that the result of the risk was not what he wanted. After all, no son is so brave, he did what he wanted to do but failed to do, what reason is there to stop it?
Yang Lihua thought for a while and changed the topic, "Xiao Xiao, what's going on?"
Yifan glanced at his father and smiled slightly, "You listened to my mother, right?"
Yang Lihua also smiled at his son, "Who else besides her, came back this morning and said that you and Xiao Xiao were in love." ”
After a while, both father and son lowered their heads again, as if they had their own thoughts.
"Dad doesn't object to you and Xiao Xiao, you grew up together, and your mother likes Xiao Xiao very much. It's just that during this time, we ...... with the Xiao family."
"Dad, I'm measured. Yifan interrupted his father's words, "It's my mother who misunderstood, Xiao Xiao stayed with me last night, but it wasn't what my mother thought." ”
"Oh, then I'm relieved. I think Lao Xiao will also have some concerns, after all, the Xiao family's overseas business was intercepted by our Lihua......"
The hotel cooperation project in Singapore is the first step for Lihua to open up overseas markets. This cooperation project is the introduction of Chinese hotels by the Singapore government, and among hundreds of top Chinese companies, the ten most qualified companies have been selected, including Lihua Group and Shaw Group. The two have their own advantages, one focusing on business hotels and the other on resorts, and in the previous rounds of competition, in fact, Shaw Group has the advantage. However, the day before the final round of hotel planning and display, it was revealed that the group's farms were operating dishonestly and providing inferior products to partner hotels, and the employees of the resort division had deducted wages and benefits, and collective strikes and other management scandals. For a while, public opinion was in an uproar, which led to a sharp drop in the image and was directly disqualified from the final competition. In the end, Lihua won the hotel cooperation project with a weak advantage.
"Dad, in fact, I am also responsible for this matter, after all, we first suspended the cooperation with Shaw Farm, causing other hotels to follow suit. But how did the media know about it, and expose it so quickly......"
"You have time to look it up, I'm afraid it's not that simple. What do you think, as soon as this matter comes out, on the surface, it is our Lihua who can benefit from it, and Lao Xiao thinks the same way. ”
"yes, I see. ”
"I was going to contact you Uncle Xiao when I saw the news, but that old guy was probably angry and hung up my phone. I estimate that this incident has had a great impact on the Xiao family, and their stock price has plummeted recently, and I'm a little worried......" Yang Lihua couldn't help but shake his head when he thought of his old friend's situation......
Yang Lihua added some tea to his son, "I don't want to take care of the company's affairs." As soon as people rest, they don't have the same hard work as before. However, if you think you're in trouble, just tell your dad that I can help you while I can. ”
"Well, Dad, there's one more thing I'd like to ask for your opinion on. ”
"Huh, what's the matter?"
"I don't plan to involve Lao Pan in this Singapore project. Yifan said categorically.
Pan Lianfu, who used to be a contractor and a literate contractor, met Yang Lihua when Lihua was just established, so he became prosperous. At present, he is responsible for Lihua's civil engineering projects, and after seeing the civil engineering projects that Pan Lianfu has been responsible for in the past two years, he can no longer turn a blind eye to the oil he has rubbed.
"Dad doesn't object, but I want to remind you that Lao Pan has done civil construction for Lihua for so many years, and he is responsible for the construction of all Lihua's projects, including the current Lihua Group Building. Don't look at him without any culture, but the government relations he involves are deeper than your father......" Yang Lihua was still a little worried when he heard that his son was going to move Pan Lianfu.
"Well, I know all of that, so I'm still thinking about it. Yifan rubbed his temples, he was indeed a little tired during this time.
Yang Lihua was also a little tired, and after chatting with his son so much, he didn't give him substantial help. Since he was a child, he has been free-range for this son, and now look at the young man in front of him, he has indeed grown up!
Walking out of the study, the father and son looked at each other and smiled, and each went back to the room to rest.
"Old man, what are you talking about with your son? talk for so long......" Ye Lan couldn't hold back the curiosity in her heart, and finally waited for her husband to return to the room, and immediately wanted to inquire.
"Okay, okay, you're always so curious. It's not early, go to bed. Tell you ...... later."
