Chapter 180: Tang Yikun's Troubles I
When the top management of East Lake was tormented by the increasingly severe business situation and internal strife, Tang Yikun was of course also tormented by endless troubles. The biggest problem is not the increasingly difficult business situation, but the internal contradictions that have manifested themselves.
On the surface, the contradiction was caused by Dai Tianxiang's mother and son.
Since that thunderstorm night collapsed because Wei Fengru followed Dai Tianxiang, Tang Yikun has never returned to the increasingly cold home in Jinxiuyuan, or lived in the Yuehe community, where security measures have been maximized, or lived in the East Lake headquarters.
In Tang Yikun's view, the war was provoked by Wei Fengru. That time it was not bad, Tang Yikun remembered that the topic started from East Lake Machinery, and Wei Fengru was qualified to talk to him about the company's top-level design. But the topic changed from East Lake Machinery to East Lake equity, and from shares to Dai Tianxiang, the topic changed.
Tang Yikun, who was furious, ignored the persuasion of his son Tang Tian, pushed away the dishes and ran to the Yuehe community. Now that she knows everything, he has no scruples.
Of course, he has to take into account the lives of Dai Tianxiang's mother and son, especially after Dai Tianxiang took Bao'er back to his hometown, which can be regarded as "consolidating" their disgraceful de facto marriage relationship from another aspect.
Dai Tianxiang told him in detail about his return to Hangzhou, including his parents' attitudes. That acquiescence to the theoretical parents-in-law increased Tang Yikun's guilt, which was something that had never happened before. In the course of Tang Yikun's life of more than 40 years, especially in the more than ten years when he was "successful", Tang Yikun rarely felt guilty about anyone, and he basically had no sense of pity for those private business owners who were crushed by him by various means, including those who could not be put on the table, his subordinates who were abandoned or even fired by him, and even the Pingquan City officials who were ousted by him. Readers have long known that Tang Yikun likes to read animal stories on the East African savannah, and has learned many truths from them. There is no fundamental difference between the human world and the animal world, to put it bluntly, there are four words: the law of the jungle. Failure means death. Who will have mercy on the loser? If the East Lake Empire collapses, Tang Yikun will also become the winner's meal and the joke after the meal.
But after Dai Tianxiang "truthfully" reported to him his parents' attitude towards their de facto marriage, Tang Yikun actually felt guilty. He examined himself and found that guilt was real. That's right, Dai Tianxiang is a beauty, with a very high appearance, not only beautiful, but also very good cultural literacy and personality, which is rare. With her conditions, there can be quite a good choice. That's probably where the guilt comes from. Because Dai Tianxiang can only hide in the shadow he deliberately created now, it took great courage to even report to his parents. He then discovered that there were two more important reasons for him to feel guilty about Dai Tianxiang, the first was that she had given birth to an extremely lovely son for herself, and the second was the unexpectedly tolerant attitude of Dai's parents. Originally, he was ready to deal with the anger of the Dai family's parents, but there was no one in Dai Tianxiang's narrative at all. Not only no, but not even a trace of conditions. As a result, his heart was like a stone, and he felt guilty. Thereupon. He must consider giving Dai Tianxiang's mother and son adequate compensation. The attitude of the Dai family (mainly Dai Tianxiang) reminded him of a point of view of Li Er, the husband is the only one who cannot fight, so the world cannot fight with it.
Before Dai Tianxiang, Tang Yikun had many mistresses. I can't even remember the numbers, except for the singer who is getting more and more popular, the facial features of the women he took to bed by various means are blurred, and he and they have ended their relationship. He gave money or property, got their beauty and gentleness, they got wealth. Lost chastity and dignity, that's all. In Tang Yikun's view, this process is exchange. He has always positioned himself as a businessman, and exchange is his profession, so Tang Yikun feels very fair. Once he accompanied Dai Tianxiang to Carrefour next to the Yuehe community, and met a former mistress, the petite and delicate woman holding a handsome and tall young man who was shopping for coffee, and didn't notice him at all. Tang Yikun forgot the woman's occupation, but remembered her name and unique style. That scene stimulated Tang Yikun, who knew that there was an embarrassing story behind a pair of young people who were extremely compatible in the eyes of others? Tang Yikun didn't think about his role in it, but he strengthened the worldview he had formed.
Nothing is not exchangeable! Whether it is a politician in the spotlight or a farmer with his back to the loess, there is no essential difference in what everyone does, they all exchange their excess things for what they lack. Farmers give food or vegetables in exchange for sweat, and politicians give power and even conscience. It's not different in essence. If you think about it by extension, joy does not last long, desire does not last long, and life is actually extremely short. At the East Lake Reading Club presided over by Qi Zhen, there are always people who tell history, and a few hours can narrate decades or even hundreds of years, which is enough to prove the shortness of life. Therefore, in life, it is the right thing to have fun in time. The most important thing in living in the world is to hold on tightly to what you have already arrived.
Cai Yuanhao of Jiaping Company was too hypocritical in Tang Yikun's opinion, and that person always cared about an ethereal reputation. What do you want fame? Why spend a lot of effort in exchange for a false name after being buried in the earth? Therefore, he was not enthusiastic about the establishment of Pingquan's first entrepreneur charity proposed by Mr. Cai. "Always respected and missed" sounds wonderful, but it doesn't make sense.
Before Tang Yikun could figure out how to compensate Dai Tianxiang's mother and son, Wei Fengru launched it first. She actually hired someone to keep an eye on Dai Tianxiang, like a spy. Not to mention, this move hit his soft underbelly, and he was a little scared. If Dai Tianxiang's mother and son inexplicably encountered a life-threatening accident, he couldn't bear it. So he made great efforts to strengthen the security of Dai Tianxiang's mother and son, which objectively caused the mother and son to become more and more like prisoners. This made him extremely humiliated and angry.
In the struggle with Wei Fengru, he discovered his weakness, that is, Dai Tianxiang's mother and son, which made him feel scared. He read a lot of martial arts novels as a pastime when he was tossing in southern Guangdong, but it can't be said that there is no benefit, and the heroes always try to find the opponent's cover door and try their best to hide their cover door. A hero without a cover door is invincible, but now he has a cover door.
It's not that he didn't want to break up with Wei Fengru. But this thought was extinguished in a flash, and it was simply impossible. It's not that he still has an inseparable husband and wife relationship in his heart, but the current situation of East Lake does not allow it. If he breaks up with Wei Fengru, it will inevitably lead to the split of East Lake, which is exactly what he absolutely cannot bear. On the other hand, the Wei brothers and sisters may be looking forward to taking that road, he believes that Wei Fengru is now fighting with him in the ring, and there must be someone behind him, that person, eighty percent is Wei Shegang.
Wei Fengru has now put forward a request to recount the shares. She believes that when she founded Donghu Industrial, the shares in the Wei family's name were too small and seriously unreasonable. Seventy percent of the source of funds at the beginning of East Lake came from the contribution of the Wei family, but it is not unreasonable to occupy such a small stake now? Check the source of East Lake's original registered capital, which is a documented fact.
If you talk about the source of registered capital alone, Wei Fengru is not messing around. The Wei family did make a lot of money at that time, but the registered capital was not all the original capital of the company, not to mention the innumerable intangible assets (Tang Yikun believes that is the key driving force for the rise of East Lake), just talking about the capital, there was a lot of registered capital reflected in the company's business license at that time, and those money were all the capital accumulated by Tang Yikun for several years of hard work. If we only talk about the funds invested in the establishment of East Lake, the Tang and Wei sides should be 6:4, and if other factors are added, this ratio should be revised to 7:3 or 8:2. The internal equity ratio now recorded in the names of Wei Fengru and Wei Shegang actually reflects the situation at that time basically fairly. If you insist on saying that it is unreasonable, at most another 10% will be enough for the Wei brothers and sisters. It is by no means what Wei Fengru said, and the Wei family should account for at least seventy percent. Otherwise, why didn't the Wei brothers and sisters mention the issue of shares for so many years? And for a while, Wei Fengru still hated Wei Shegang's equity reconsideration plan very much? Of course, at that time, Wei Fengru and he were a complete united front, husband and wife were one, and it was not Tang Yikun that Wei Fengru wanted to guard against, but his younger brother. Now it's the other way around.
Tang Yikun admitted that if it were not for Dai Tianxiang's mother and son, Wei Fengru would not have made such a decision. But this trick is difficult to dissolve, and it is not something that can be solved by ignoring it. Now not only Wei Shegang and Tang Yiwei have joined Wei Fengru's chorus, but even Qi Zhen, Xu Chengyan and others are also ready to move. Qi Zhen, whom he had relied on for many years, tactfully resolved the contradiction between him and Wei Fengru, and he admitted that Qi Zhen had this qualification. Among the members of the top leadership of East Lake, Qi Zhen is the first person in terms of position and merit, Qi Zhen believes that equity recalculation is not impossible, and from the current situation and long-term development of East Lake, we should really take care of this mess. East Lake Real Estate has been listed, and East Lake Mining should also be listed from the perspective of obtaining resources.
Tang Yikun knew very well that the patriarch with a foreign surname represented by Qi Zhen finally seized this golden opportunity and publicly asked for equity.
Tang Yikun did not say anything at the time. He also ignored Wei Fengru's request to recalculate equity through Cai Yuanhao. Immediately, Wei Shegang had an official showdown, and his skillful brother-in-law did not mention the issue of equity, but spoke out on the basis of the business difficulties of Donghu Mining, asking the headquarters to stop investing in Donghu real estate, concentrate funds on Donghu Mining, and use the coal crisis that has been manifested to complete the restructuring of the mining company. Wei Shegang believes that the East Lake Mining has encountered difficulties, those who are not as risk-resistant as the East Lake Mining peers, including state-owned coal mines, have encountered difficulties, this is the opportunity, we can complete the long-awaited structural adjustment of the mining company through acquisition, transfer and other means, retain and acquire high-quality coal mines and related supporting enterprises, close or sell those small mines that have no development prospects, and complete the restructuring of the mining company. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the province's vice governor in charge of industry has made it clear that he supports the restructuring of East Lake Mining, and there is no reason to miss this opportunity. Wei Shegang made it clear that the crisis in the real estate market is no less than that of the mining industry, and the group can no longer put Baodu on real estate as it did in the past.
Wei Shegang's opinion was put forward at the board meeting and was endorsed by several people. Tang Yikun knew the evil intentions behind Wei Shegang's plan, and he did not agree with Wei Shegang's judgment that the real estate market would encounter a cold snap, and he must use a new big investment plan to get rid of the business crisis of the East Lake Industrial Group, so as to repel the challenge of the Wei brothers and sisters. This plan is the construction of Pingquan New Town. (To be continued.) )
