Chapter 412: The Old Man (Asking for Tickets)
A business car stopped in front of Shi Lei, and the driver handed the phone to Shi Lei.
"Leizi, your own people, get in the car."
For the sake of insurance, Shi Lei still looked at the driver once with his heart, and made sure that he was really a person sent by his father, so he got into the car. In case something happens to his father, he has to find a way.
There was nothing to say all the way, and when the car door opened again, it was in a villa area in the middle of the mountain. Shi Lei didn't know exactly where it was, he had never been to Xiangjiang.
A person who looked like a housekeeper walked out, glanced at Shi Lei, waved his hand, and asked the driver to leave.
"Lei Shao, please come with me."
Shi Lei followed the housekeeper into the house and saw two people sitting on the sofa in the living room.
"Leizi, here, come here." Shi Xitong saw Shi Lei enter the house and beckoned to Shi Lei.
Shi Lei finally breathed a sigh of relief, and now he can be sure that his father was not kidnapped. Is this his father who brought him to the house, and he wants to recognize the door? Didn't you say to wait a little longer, and wait for my father to sit firmly in the position of the CEO of the Asia-Pacific branch before thinking about this matter, why did it suddenly change?
Shi Lei didn't know if he should call his father or Mr. Shi at this time?
"Leizi, this is your grandfather, Shi Chuxiong, the chairman of Taishi International, calling someone." Shi Xitong patted Shi Lei on the back.
"Grandpa......"
"Wait!" Shi Chuxiong stretched out his hand to interrupt Shi Lei's words, "You are Shi Lei?" The second child and Ye Siyu's cub? β
Shi Chuxiong's Hong Kong-style Mandarin made Shi Lei very uncomfortable to listen to. Is this the old man, the real helmsman of Taishi International?
Shi Lei looked Shi Chuxiong up and down carefully, sixty or seventy years old, with short hair, Tang costumes, and a kind of momentum that was not angry and arrogant. is staring at Shi Lei.
"I am." Shi Lei bowed his head slightly and agreed.
"What do you think of Taishi International?" The old man suddenly asked.
Shi Lei frowned and looked at his father. Shi Xitong gave him an encouraging look and told him to speak boldly.
"I don't think Taishi International is good!" Shi Lei's words were astonishing, and Shi Xitong and the old man cast questioning glances at him at the same time.
"How is Taishi International? It's the first time I've heard someone say that. Taishi International has been established for decades, from a small company with a few people to a large investment company spanning six continents. The assets are in good condition, and the compound return on investment is more than 10% every year, such a company is not evaluated well in your mouth? Tell me, what's good? Shi Chuxiong pulled his face and asked.
Shi Lei ignored Shi Xitong's eyes and continued: "I myself am not good at investment, and I have never managed such a large multinational company. Taishi International tries to keep a low profile though. But over the years, it has gradually entered the attention of many investors. In other words, many people pay attention to every move of Taishi International. The larger the company, the more attention should be paid to dealing with the government ~ government. For example, Li Chaoren, without the support of the government ~ government, can he enter the domestic market? β
Hearing Shi Lei's words, Shi Chuxiong's brows stretched slightly. What this kid means. Taishi International is not close enough to the government ~ government, is it? Of course, he also noticed this, the second child has been in the capital all these years. Why is he so relaxed about his investment performance, it is not that he can make a group of friends, and if something happens in the future, someone can pull them.
Shi Lei saw that none of them objected, and continued: "The second point is that Taishi International is too scattered, and each branch is fighting its own battle. There are few alliances, and a lot of good opportunities are wasted. If they can join forces, some investments that don't seem to be profitable will become profitable. Now, of course, the Asia-Pacific North and South branches are merged. I should be able to see this, I'm worried about it. β
"Third, Taishi International is a family-owned industry, and the managers are mostly related to you, which is very unfavorable to the development of the company. And those executives can use the company's news channels to invest in themselves and make money. Even if the investment in the company fails, the impact is not great, and he never even investigates the reasons for his investment failure, and does not think that they will covet the company's property? Or do you think you don't care about what they take? β
"Fourth ......"
"Enough!" Shi Chuxiong shouted. I wanted to inspect this eldest grandson, but I didn't expect him to be finished. This, two, three, four, one by one, does Taishi International have so many problems!
Since the old man didn't let him say it, Shi Lei stopped talking. Shi Xitong glanced at Shi Lei, what's wrong with this kid today, he doesn't understand human feelings at all, don't you know how to say a few good words to the old man? Taishi International is a country that the old man has worked hard for, let you say so many problems, what will the old man think?
"Old Bean, don't be angry. Leizi is young and looks at things too one-sided......"
"Okay, I don't blame him, I know these questions. But how to solve it is your brother's business, and I will not do everything well. The old man interrupted Shi Xitong's words and said lightly.
Hearing the old man say this, Shi Xitong was overjoyed. What does the old man mean, can he still compete for the position of chairman? He didn't get angry because of Shi Lei's matter, don't blame him for having an illegitimate child and embarrassing the family?
Shi Lei was standing next to him, and the old man glanced at him: "What you just said, you came up with it yourself?" β
"Well, it's just a little bit of a personal opinion." Shi Lei replied respectfully.
"It's not bad, young people are willing to use their brains and have ideas, and they will definitely not suffer too much. The Asia-Pacific branch also has a headquarters, you can choose one. The old man nodded, picked up the teacup on the coffee table, and took a sip of tea. His first impression of Shi Lei was not bad, and he planned to continue his investigation.
If Shi Lei chooses the Asia-Pacific branch, it is that he wants to live under the wing of Shi Xitong, he is too conservative and timid. People who are too timid will not be able to make investments and make a lot of money. If Shi Lei chooses Taishi International Headquarters, he will take Shi Lei to the most difficult department to inspect this kid's character, don't think that if you are close to him, it must be a good thing!
"I'm sorry, I didn't plan to work at Taishi International!" Shi Lei is colorful.
The old man looked up at Shi Lei suddenly: "You don't want to work at Taishi International?" I tell you, if you don't work at Taishi International, this company will have nothing to do with you in the future! β
Shi Lei smiled: "I have my own ideals and my own career. I will work hard for my ideals and career, and I am confident that I can make a difference. I understand your kindness, I am really not interested in Taishi International. β
Shi Xitong also said beside him: "Yes, old bean." Leizi likes brokerage agencies, and the business of his fiancΓ©e's family is also the top agency in China......"
"Fart! My Shi Chuxiong's grandson, going to be someone else's son-in-law? Let me ask you again, do you want to work at Taishi International? "Shi Chuxiong was furious, can't the family provide you with a chance, do you have to go to your father-in-law's house to work? What is the future of being an agent, doing investment business is the most profitable business, let others make money for us!
"Don't come! I am not a son-in-law, I have acquired a little bit of Wufang Group shares, and I am a shareholder. And in the future, I will acquire more shares and become a major shareholder! Shi Lei said with a stiff neck.
"Okay, that's what you said. Don't think about giving you a little help at home in the future, something that doesn't work! β
Shi Lei is also angry, why is there no interest in being an agent? Wal-Mart Group, eBuy or something, is it still a retailer, isn't it the world's top? Besides, CAA company can make no less money every year than Taishi International, and it may even be more!
If Shi Chuxiong was not Shi Lei's grandfather, Shi Lei might have walked away. As if someone would come to you, your villa, that's it. Xiangjiang is just a small place!
"Lao Dou, everyone has their own ambitions, and I don't think there's anything wrong with Leizi's ambitions. Whichever line of work is top-notch, you can get ahead. Shi Xitong persuaded him.
"Be at the top? Is he planning to overtake CAA? Or more than Huayi Brothers? Wufang Group, I have also heard that it is one of the fastest emerging agency companies in China in recent years. Do you want to buy someone else's shares, and someone else can sell them? Have one's head in the clouds! In this era, it is always the big fish that eat the small fish, the small fish eat the shrimp, and the shrimp can only eat the mud! At the beginning, you may think that it is easy to start a company, but if you want to become bigger, you will be subject to all kinds of obstacles, can you afford these? How many connections do you have that are willing to lend a helping hand when you are in trouble? I'm afraid it's all some wine and meat friends! Once you're down, if they don't step on it, it's good! The old man said disdainfully.
This Shi Lei, at a young age, is so ambitious, he has not been trained by a large company, so he wants to be the top? It's pretty much the same dreaming! Those big companies, which ones don't have a deep chain of interests, can they let you touch lightly? It seems that he still hasn't hit a wall, and when he really breaks his head, he knows how important it is to have a backer!
"Dad, I'll go back if there's nothing to do, there are still some things in the company that I need to deal with." Shi Lei said hello to Shi Xitong, and turned around as if walking out of the villa.
"Stop! I'm your grandfather, don't you know how to say hello to me when you leave? Not educated at all! The old man scolded.
Shi Lei endured his anger, turned around again, and said word by word: "Grandpa, I'm leaving!" β
The old man didn't say a word, squinting and leaning on the sofa. Shi Lei strode out, and Shi Xitong also chased out: "Leizi, don't take what happened just now, your grandfather has a strong personality and can't tolerate the slightest disobedience from others." I'll ask the driver to take you to the hotel, you stay for one night, and I'll take you around Xiangjiang tomorrow. β
"Dad, I'm fine, if you're busy, I'll do it myself." Shi Lei felt a lot more comfortable when he heard his father's comfort.
"It's okay, I'm not busy, I just have something to tell you, we'll talk about it tomorrow." Shi Xitong patted Shi Lei on the shoulder, watched Shi Lei get into the car, and watched him leave. (To be continued......)
