Chapter 123 A Lesson in Life
Finally walked to the door with the metal sign with the words "General Manager's Office", Ning Yu let out a long sigh of relief.
All the way, I avoided the face to face with my colleagues, avoided the discussions that might be aroused, and avoided the possibility of becoming the focus.
His special position in Lingyun Company brought him not pride, but an involuntary decadence.
No matter how good you are, the aura of a future heir on your head will make people interpret that you are being taken care of. This is the reason why Ning Yu is becoming more and more disgusted here.
The first time he came to the general manager's office, Ning Yu didn't have the slightest urge to visit.
Ning Feiyang sat on the coffee table and didn't get up, he sighed at the Go on the coffee table with interest.
"Don't stand there stupidly, come and sit down, and help me understand this endgame by the way." Ning Feiyang didn't look up, there was love in his voice.
"Mr. Ning. Is there anything you can't go home and say? You know I'm reluctant to come to this office. Ning Yu didn't sit down as ordered, he stood in front of the coffee table.
"What? Coming here and worrying about what people are saying about you? Silly boy, it's been almost a year since he entered society, and he is still innocent. The first thing you should learn in Lingyun is to overcome your simplicity and nothing else. Sit down. Let's have a good chat. We're not talking about fathers and sons, we're talking about the future of the company. Come, make your own tea. Ning Feiyang's raised eyes were filled with approval and relief.
Ning Yu sat down, he picked up the tea set and made a cup indiscriminately, tilted his head and poured it into his throat.
Looking at his son's obvious demonstrative, Ning Feiyang smiled and shook his head.
"Do you see the crux of this endgame?" Ning Feiyang pointed to the chessboard in front of him.
"Is this what you do? Do I have to answer? Ning Yu looked at the chessboard, his mouth unconsciously resisting.
"Hehe, I don't have to answer, but your answer will be beneficial for the rest of our conversation." Ning Feiyang was not angry, his tone was still full of approval.
"The situation between the two sides in this endgame looks evenly matched, and the key lies in the robbery of the two sides at the last moment." Ning Yu gave his own opinion after reading it carefully.
"Yes, it depends on who can see accurately at the last moment and act decisively. I came to you to talk to you about the company's equity after listing. Before we do that, we have to talk about two people and two things. Ning Feiyang finally got to the point.
Ning Yu gradually became focused, and his father's focused tone made him have to cooperate.
"That's good, now we're talking about business, but don't take it too seriously, after all, no matter how business, we are still father and son. The first person to talk to is Su Qing. She happened to go to the accounting firm to contact the listing audit matter, you can just talk about your opinion of her and your affairs. The corners of Ning Feiyang's mouth were always smiling.
"Mr. Ning, is it okay if I don't talk about Su Qing? It seems that the boss should not interfere in the private affairs of employees. Ning Yu's resistance rose again.
"Hehe, you can't avoid it this time, because it's related to the company equity thing that we're going to talk about next. Dad is not a hypocritical person, Dad can distinguish between public and private. Trust Dad, Dad is not trying to interfere with you. It's just that your relationship has to do with my next decision. Ning Feiyang didn't have any change in mood.
Ning Yu glanced deeply at his father, who had encouragement in his eyes.
"I admire Su Qing, she is a girl worth pursuing, but she is not suitable for me, she is like a witch, always changing, always close but keeping a distance. I was relaxed and even warm with her, but it wasn't a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship, and I couldn't see her dating. I sometimes prefer to play my computer games CrossFire and Warcraft rather than go to her. That's how I see her. Ning Yu's reluctant tone was undisguised.
Ning Feiyang looked deeply at the depressed son in front of him for a while.
"Kids. Maybe you really can't. Su Qing is an ambitious girl, of course, her ambition is not disgusting, on the contrary, she is admired. But this ambition and pursuit is difficult to control. Since you chose to give up, Dad was relieved. About Su Qing, let's talk about this, is it still possible for you to just let it be, maybe it is best for you and her now. Let's talk about Kevin Lu, what is your impression of him? Whatever you want, Daddy needs your real thoughts. Ning Feiyang quickly changed the topic after a faint disappointment.
"Brother Kevin? He's very good. All our colleagues appreciate the vice president of this company. Especially those female colleagues, that can be said to be obsessed. Hehe, Kevin is full of flowers everywhere he goes. Enviable guy. Ning Yu's smile bloomed for the first time since he stepped here.
"Looks like I didn't make it clear. Tell me, what is the relationship between Kevin and Dad? Ning Feiyang shook his head, this action was both like an answer to his son and a decision to himself.
"What kind of relationship can it be? Partnerships. Is there something else? Ning Yu became more and more incomprehensible about his father's tone and movements.
"Alas. Child. That's what you're going to learn when you go out into society. Dad hesitated for a long time, and he didn't know if he wanted to have a conversation like today, but in the end I convinced myself. Because of your innocence, Dad had to use his own example to teach you a lesson. It may take you a long time to comprehend and become your own experience, but as long as what Dad said today can take root in your heart, Dad is a successful father. Ning Feiyang's tone became slower and slower, but more and more firm.
Ning Yu sat up straight unconsciously, and he didn't open his mouth to disturb his father's solemnity.
"Kid, Kevin Lu is an excellent young man. But being excellent is by no means the reason why my father chose him. Dad chose to work with him because of his financial strength. It's not a collaboration, it's just a pure exploit. Ning Feiyang almost closed his eyes, and a trace of pain crept up the corners of his pursed mouth.
Ning Yu felt a chill at his father's words.
"Maybe you're a little resistant to Dad being so straightforward, but that's the way it is. Lingyun Company is too weak and lacks the strength and heritage to change? Only by using the strength of others. Everyone close to Dad admonished Dad to be careful of Kevin Lu. Hehe, Dad knows better than anyone else. They thought I was hot-headed, impulsive, only I knew that it wasn't impulsive and reckless, it was risk-taking. There is no way to change this, because Dad has a flaw that cannot be overcome, and that is ambition. Dad now has a bunch of titles, successful businessman, industrialist, entrepreneur. But Dad still has a pursuit, that is, Dad wants to be a capitalist. People often talk about capitalists as if entrepreneurs are capitalists, but that's wrong. A capitalist must have the qualifications to be able to move in the capital market to be a capitalist. Lingyun needs capital, Lingyun needs change, and I can only use others. In the end, I chose Kevin Lu. It's a gamble. Ning Feiyang began to have emotional ups and downs as he narrated.
Ning Yu just listened quietly, this was the first time he had heard his father talk about his career in such a voice, and he was a little fascinated.
"Kevin Lu is excellent, he takes care of his father's status and power everywhere. He poured a lot of effort into the company. All this is obvious to all the company's colleagues. However, as a corporate corporation, I must always be on guard. Why? The reason is simple. A person with a weak power harnesses a powerful person, and this is walking a tightrope. Xiaoyu, you tell Dad, is it important that the company's listing brings Dad a huge wealth that has swelled rapidly, or is it important that Dad can definitely control the company? Ning Feiyang suddenly interrupted his elaboration with a question.
Ning Yu shuddered, he was awakened by his father's sudden question.
"It depends on whether the benefits of going public are greater than the benefits of controlling the company." Ning Yu quickly gave his own answer.
A sneer flashed at the corner of Ning Feiyang's mouth.
"Young people are naïve. Remember Dad's words. Only the interests that are controlled at hand are the real interests. Don't understand, right? Okay, Daddy will tell you about it. Lingyun Company is controlled by Dad, who is an entrepreneur, who has wealth and social status, and the respect of employees. It can be said that with Lingyun Company, Ning Feiyang will have a future, but if there is no Lingyun Company, Ning Feiyang is just a rich man. No matter how much money you have, you are at best a rich man with shares. Ning Feiyang's disdain became more and more obvious.
"Not really, if you have money, you can rebuild your business." Ning Yu retorted in an almost muttered tone.
"Hehe, that's easier said than done. Lingyun Company is the crystallization of the hard work of my father and many people. Rebuilding a Lingyun company is not just something that money can solve. Starting a business is not something that happens overnight, it requires not only hard work, but also luck, current situation, and so on. Entrepreneurship is hard, and it takes wisdom and hard work to maintain and develop. Do you understand? Ning Feiyang's eyes were full of true feelings.
Ning Yu chewed on his father's cruel words, and he fell into deep thought.
"Far from it. Back to the point. Dad can't guarantee to control Kevin Lu, what should I do? Dad took Taoguang to raise the obscurity. Dad didn't interfere with and change Kevin Lu's decision, just in exchange for Kevin Lu not defending his father. It is to make Lu Kaiwen think that his father absolutely trusts him. But that's not enough, we have to get ahead of him. It is necessary to strike first. Ning Feiyang's teeth gritted.
A chill slowly rose from Ning Yu's back, and he really didn't want to listen to it.
"That's why Daddy came to you and told you these things that made you know Daddy's true businessmanship. Don't blame Dad for telling you about the cruelty of the mall, learning these just increases your ability to protect yourself. Whether you accept it or not, this is a lesson you must experience in life. Tell Dad, can you take it? Ning Feiyang focused his eyes on his son with full expectation.
Ning Yu groaned, he was pondering every word repeatedly.
The office fell silent, except for the growing atmosphere and the sound of heavy breathing.
Ning Feiyang picked up the cigarette and lit it, he just took a puff and stopped to look at the smoke rising up.
"Dad, I accept. Tell me what I should do? Ning Yu finally spoke.
There was no expression of pain and hesitation, only a piece of indifference.
"Very well, there is no need to be hypocritical at this time, this is just a self-preservation situation that we should face. I'm ready to increase my capital. According to the re-evaluation of our assets by Su Qinghe and CPA, our net worth is close to 140 million. I'll add another 10 million. In this way, I will not let Kevin Lu's capital injection have an advantage for me. The overall quota of the original shares should also be controlled, and it should not exceed 300 million. In this way, although no more benefits can be obtained from the issuance, the benefits are manageable. All you have to do is pledge your family's real estate and securities to raise funds, and then buy the original shares issued by the company in your name. I want you as another insurance. This is not only a precaution against Kevin Lu, but also against other people with ulterior motives. Not only you, but also the company's management, I have to make sure that I have the shares in my own hands. I want to make sure I have an advantage over Kevin Lu. Ning Feiyang waved his hand.
Ning Yu didn't speak, he knew that his father was playing, and he couldn't evaluate whether such a game was correct or not.
But what I can evaluate is one thing: shopping malls are like battlefields is not a slogan, it is a motto.
One more thing you can be sure of for yourself.
I was touched by my father. It's a kind of love.
Self-defilement is based on love, a great love, a pure love.
Watching his son's back disappear, Ning Feiyang suddenly relaxed.
Tiredness strikes instantly, accompanied by a faint self-blame.
A young man's youth and innocence may have come to an end in a hurry from today.
This father is the one who ends the beautiful dreams of young people.
