The next morning, Shi Lei just woke up and went downstairs when he saw Shi Xitong walking around in the living room. What's going on, what's going on?

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Shi Lei asked with concern.

"It's okay, you get up, go have breakfast, your aunt will keep it for you." Seeing Shi Lei, Shi Xitong immediately changed to a smiling face, not wanting to let the troubles affect Shi Lei.

When Shi Lei was eating, he saw Shi Xitong talking on the phone, and after a while, Kang Jianhui also came. So early, why did he come over, what happened to the company, right?

Kang Jianhui and Shi Xi entered the study together, and only came out half an hour later, both of them with sad faces.

"Dad, Brother Kang, what's wrong, tell me about it. Authorities fandom, maybe I can have some ideas to help you? Shi Lei pulled Shi Xitong to sit on the sofa, it was useless to walk around like this.

Kang Jianhui glanced at Shi Xitong, saw that he had no objection, and explained: "Taishi International Asia-Pacific North Branch and Asia-Pacific South Branch are going to merge and merge into Taishi International Asia-Pacific Branch, which will be the largest branch of Taishi International, whether it is market size or assets, it is the first, and its status in the company will be very high." The boss is now the CEO of the Northern Branch, and this time the competition for the CEO of the Asia-Pacific Branch had a great chance of winning. But suddenly in advance, the boss still has a few investments this year, and he has not seen the benefits, which is a stain on the boss. ”

"Brother Kang, you mean, the other contenders in this position are already ahead, and we may be going to lose?"

Kang Jianhui shook his head: "You still don't understand." If it is just a simple upward competition failure, it will not be so passive. The problem is that once the competition fails for this position, the northern branch is gone, and the boss can only be a vice president. This one is a pair. It has a very big influence on the boss in the future. When the two branches merge, many positions will overlap, and some people will have to be laid off, especially the management position. The boss has become the vice president, and the people to be laid off must be the boss's team, and the boss will never be able to get up in the future! ”

Is it so strict? Once you lose this time. It seems to be a complete defeat, and there is no chance to turn over. But isn't the chairman of Taishi International a grandfather, and this son will still lose when he competes for the boss of the branch?

"Does the old man care about this?" Shi Lei didn't understand.

Shi Xitong sighed: "Alas, there are some things that should be told to you. What kind of person is the old man, you don't know yet, right? This Taishi International, it is okay to say that it is our family industry, because in addition to the 53% shares of the old man's subsidiary, your second grandfather's company controls 21% of the shares. Your aunt's company has 15 percent of the shares, and there are some shares that are in the hands of some other companies, and there are no natural person shareholders. The CEOs of this Taishi International Branch are all nominated and recommended by shareholders, and then selected for admission. In the past, there were many positions, and I could occupy one, and no one said anything. Now that there are fewer places, they will definitely have to compete. The boss of the Southern Branch, you still want to call your cousin, it's my aunt's cousin, you said he wants to fight with me, can your grandfather be embarrassed to refuse? There are also CEOs of other branches who are also interested in this position. There are also people from the head office, who are qualified to compete, there are only eight in total, and five of them are related to us. ”

Shi Lei also has a sad face now, they are all relatives. What a competition. The old man can't be directly assigned, he can only be admitted on the basis of merit, but this is related to his father's future, and he can't help but be anxious.

Taking a step back, Shi Xitong became the CEO of the Asia-Pacific branch, which also has immeasurable benefits for Shi Lei's future career. He doesn't care about Shi Xitong's money, but he is very envious of Shi Xitong's connections. Connections are sometimes more important than money, and Shi Xitong's location can determine the breadth of his connections. The company's CEO and the company's vice president are not a little bit worse in power.

"Dad, the merger of the company was ahead of schedule, why didn't you receive any news about this before?" Shi Lei felt a little incredible, even if it was in advance, the old man always had to sue his son, was it really so fair and selfless?

"It's ahead of schedule, but not now, but at the end of this month, and it hasn't been announced yet, and I've already gotten the news in advance. However, I have invested in several long-term projects this year, and I will not be able to see the benefits until the New Year, which is absolutely no problem if I put it in the past, but the southern branch has invested in several short-term projects this year, and this year's profit is more than ours. There are also the CEOs of the European branch and the CEO of the African branch, and they all have to compete for this position. And their company's three quarterly reports are better than ours, which doesn't give me any preparation at all. Shi Xitong grabbed his hair with his hands, and Shi Lei saw a lot of white hair roots through his fingers.

"Dad, how much profit do you need from your investment this year to ensure that you sit in the position of the CEO of this Asia-Pacific branch?" Shi Lei asked tentatively.

"At least 200 million dollars in profits, if it's the New Year, I promise to be able to reach it, and now it seems that it's too late." Shi Xitong felt very depressed, it was supposed to be a merger of the company after the New Year, and the projects he did were not all long-term, but he didn't expect it to be so short.

"Dad, can we borrow this money first? For example, I will give you the shares of Changsheng Real Estate, and then find someone else to borrow some. ”

Shi Xitong shook his head: "What is your little money, what is enough, even if you give it all to me for nothing, it is not enough, and besides, will others not know?" This means of cheating, useless. Two hundred million dollars, earned in a month, how is it possible. The company does not have so much liquidity that can be used to invest, and it is not impossible to multiply the money several times a month. ”

Shi Lei is now the same as Shi Xi and them, with a sad face. Yes, there is a difference of 200 million US dollars, and this performance is completely uncompetitive, how can you compete with others?

Shi Lei gritted his teeth: "Dad, there is another way, if you catch the handle of other competitors, can you let them quit?" ”

"Grab their handles? That's easier said than done. As an investment company, who has not had a time when an investment failed and lost some? As long as he earns it for a year, it is enough. With this, you can't attack them at all. Shi Xitong shook his head, he hadn't thought about this method. He has not failed in investing this year, even as small as tens of millions of investments, all of them have been earned, but unfortunately he has earned too little, far less than others, which makes him too courageous, which will make him lose points on the board of directors.

"What about other tricks or something? For example, if they make false accounts, steal the company's money, or they give ~ bribes ~ or something, can these make them automatically quit? ”

"The evidence? Don't say that there may not be, even if there is, do you think that the accounts made by such a large company have not been found out by the head office, and we may find out? Let's just say that in the North Asia Pacific Branch, the financial personnel, except for the two head offices sent down to supervise, the rest are personally recruited by me, and I know the roots, and others want to check my accounts, but they can't do it at all. ”

Shi Xitong sighed, Shi Lei thought about things too simply, if anyone can check your company's accounts, it means that you, the boss, are very failures. Which company CEO doesn't change finance for his henchmen?

"Dad, you let me try, trust me, take me to meet them. I can really find some special ways to find some conditions that are good for us, you trust me. Shi Lei persuaded hard, he understands this kind of thing, he won't say anything to anyone, others may not believe it or second, if he really believes it, what if others treat him as a monster? It's his forever secret!

Shi Xitong looked at Shi Lei puzzled, what can you do? What he hopes now is that if this position is occupied, he hopes that it will not be the CEO of the Southern Branch, but the CEO of other branches, and he can go to other branches, be a CEO, and pull out some of his own team. If he really becomes a deputy position, or returns to the head office and becomes a fictitious position, he has no hope for himself, not to mention, it is a pity that there are so many old subordinates who have been with him for many years.

Shi Lei continued to persuade, but unfortunately Shi Xitong kept shaking his head: "Leizi, okay, I know you want to help, but you really can't help with this matter." Forget it, maybe it's providential. Jianhui, don't worry, even if I am a deputy, it is no problem for you to ask for a position as a department manager, after following me for so many years, it is time to go out and explore by yourself. ”

Shi Xitong's will was very depressed, and he was already thinking about how to arrange these subordinates after failure. Protect them as much as possible, not to let them be laid off, and not to let them be marginalized.

"Boss, I'm not going, I'm still following you. For so many years, I have been following you, where you go, where I go, even if it is a false position, it doesn't matter. Kang Jianhui hurried to show his loyalty at this time.

Shi Lei glanced at Kang Jianhui, Kang Jianhui thought in his heart: I didn't expect to be so unlucky, I followed the boss for so long, I thought I had the opportunity to follow the boss step by step, but I lost to time. But at this time, what the boss needs most is the people around him, and if I leave, what will he do.

Kang Jianhui was so loyal to Shi Xitong, which made Shi Lei a little surprised. It seems that it has been a long time, it is different. In this matter, Shi Lei can only fight by himself, and tomorrow he will find a way to get close to the boss of the southern branch, who can help, Kang Jianhui will definitely not be able to, by the way, Shi Guangfeng is on vacation, he should have time, and he can also take himself to meet the boss, right?

"Dad, then you guys are busy, I've been taking Guangfeng out for the past two days, and the two of us should be more familiar with each other."

Shi Xitong rarely smiled: "Yes, you brothers, go out and have fun." It's okay, even if we fail, our family will not be down, and I still have connections to continue to help you. (To be continued......)
