0842 The Zhai family with internal and external troubles
There is no need to list the staggered chips at the banquet, and when the birthday was coming to an end, Shen Yun found Song Chen, who was accompanying Song Hua to toast from table to table: "Father-in-law, Xiaochen, your father and I are going back first!"
"So early?" Song Hua's amount of wine is unfathomable, and after two bottles of red wine, there is still no blush or drunkenness on his face like a normal person, only the strong smell of wine on his body can't be dissolved.
Shen Yun smiled and said, "Lao Zhai is not feeling well, and it is already very reluctant to be able to sit there!"
Song Hua was slightly stunned, and then said apologetically: "Look at me, I forgot that Lao Zhai's physical condition is not good now!"
Song Chen also drank a lot of wine, but his consciousness was still very clear. In fact, his status is transcendent, there are more than a thousand people in the auditorium, and no one dares to urge him to drink, and even the people of the Song family have to look at his face carefully.
Song Chen took out the phone and said, "I'll let my bodyguard drive you back!"
"If it's convenient, can you send it to us? We have something to talk to you about!" Shen Yun hesitated, after all, Song Chen was the protagonist of today's birthday.
Song Chen had long been bored with today's wine game, and had been thinking of a way to leave, and when he received the request of his mother-in-law, he said happily: "It's okay, I'm almost drunk today, I'll send you away!"
Although the request of Zhai Kuo and his wife made Song Hua feel very uncomfortable, Song Hua still said with a spring breeze on his face: "That's fine, but Xiaochen, you are gone, Ruoxi and the others still want to stay to entertain the relatives of the Song family, what do you think?"
"So be it!" Song Chen did not hesitate to "betray" his fiancée and mistress.
……
Zhai Kuo moved one step at a time, in fact, he could still walk, but it was very inconvenient, and if he usually needed it, he would sit in a wheelchair and let his wife or son push him away.
Originally, Zhai Kuo planned to bring Zhai Zheng over, but considering his son's unlikable personality, as well as his own hostility and bad feelings towards Song Chen, he finally gave up this plan.
Song Chen personally pushed Zhai Kuo's wheelchair out of the hotel, and then helped him into his car in front of several reporters who did not give up any news material.
Song Chen's car has been replaced by a Lincoln sedan, a symbol of status and status, and the shape of the car is very slow, only thirty or forty yards. The driver Zhuang Murong drove very steadily, and the comfort of the Lincoln sedan was nothing to say, and Song Chen sat in the passenger seat as if walking on the ground, almost not feeling the bumps on the road.
After the car drove for a few minutes, Zhai Kuo and his wife didn't speak, if it weren't for the next sudden request, he would almost think that Zhai Kuo saw his impatience and deliberately relieved him!
"Xiaochen, how about letting Ah Yue come back to manage Zhai Kuo Electric?"
"Huh?" Song Chen was stunned, he looked back at the quasi-father-in-law with a solemn expression, and asked, "Dad, why did you suddenly have this idea?" Despite the accident, the development momentum of Zhai Kuo Electric in the past two years has been very good, and it has recovered the vitality loss of the previous few years because of that incident!"
Accidentally, it was Zhai Kuo's "dead heart" last year, and he recalled the misbehaving Zhai Zheng from Beiping to continue to serve in the company, which led to the separation of ownership and management rights promoted by Zhai Yue, the former chairman of Zhai Kuo Electric Appliances, and it also directly led to the twists and turns of the Zhai family's infighting, which was originally quelled by Zhai Kuo and Zhai Yue.
In addition to the major shareholder Zhai Zheng, the members of the Zhai family, the shareholders of Zhai Kuo Electric and all the management without exception do not welcome Zhai Kuo, they know that Zhai Zheng's talent is sparse, that is, a rich second generation who is useless and likes to cause trouble everywhere, plus Zhai Zheng almost destroyed Zhai Kuo Electric two years ago, so that Zhai Kuo Electric, whose career is on the rise, has to stop in place to lick his wounds and restore his vitality.
Helpless, even if Zhai Kuo retired early due to illness, he is also a well-deserved major shareholder of Zhai Kuo Electric, even if all shareholders are united, no one can resist his will, so after his son was "exiled" for a year or two, Zhai Zheng once again appeared in the gate of Zhai Kuo Electric and served as a powerful purchasing manager.
Of course, this was hated by the upper and lower shareholders and the management, so Zhai Zheng was almost hollowed out, no one listened to him, Zhai Kuo Electric's fierce infighting kicked off, the same, Zhai Kuo as the founder and major shareholder, almost from the family, capital, the company's management comprehensive opposition, the only remaining prestige has been left.
If he continues to push Zhai Zheng to take charge of Zhai Kuo Electric, it will be tantamount to pushing his life's work to the brink of falling apart! In this context, Zhai Kuo had to consider a relatively soft way to achieve his goal: to push Zhai Yue back to the forefront.
But there is a very key question in this: Zhai Yue, who has single-handedly built Ctrip Travel Network and is accustomed to playing tricks on the big stage, is still interested in the relatively small Zhai Kuo Electric Appliances, let alone being his brother's big housekeeper!
But I have to say that this is a very perfect decision, of course the shareholders of Zhai Kuo Electric will welcome Zhai Yue to continue to serve as the speaker of the Zhai family, and the professional managers who were originally elected by Zhai Yue will at least not oppose this appointment - they are also willing to use Zhai Yue's background to seek more benefits for the company and themselves!
"Ah Yue's brother is confused, cruel and reckless, I know! However, I only have one son! All my decisions that are not recognized by people are based on this belief and the consequences are fully considered! As for whether it will be understood, I don't care so much about me, the person who stepped into the coffin with half a foot!"
"Now Ah Zheng is alone in the company, my cronies are no longer listening to me, and my younger brothers and sisters resent my decision...... Except for my wife, I, Zhai Kuo, are almost betrayed and divorced now!"
Zhai Kuo's voice was faint, his tone was firm and mixed with bitterness and helplessness, and Song Chen immediately thought of a word: heroic twilight.
"Things have not yet reached the point where they cannot turn around, as long as you are willing to make concessions, the future of Zhai Kuo Electric will be bright!" Song Chen said with relief.
It is difficult for him to understand why Zhai Kuo must insist on letting his son take charge of the company, in exchange for himself, if Song Can is as hasty as Zhai Zheng in the future, Song Chen feels that he can't let such a waste ruin his hard work - if he really can't help it, it is not impossible to learn from the rich Americans and donate his assets to a charitable fund.
Perhaps it is Chinese tradition that makes it completely impossible for Zhai Kuo to be sincerely helped by outsiders to take care of the company, holding the old-fashioned thinking that he would rather let his son lose than let power be ceded to non-blood relatives.
This is similar to Cixi's tradition of "preferring to give outsiders to domestic slaves".
Zhai Kuo looked directly at Song Chen's son-in-law, and asked with a faint expression, "What kind of concessions do you think I need to make to satisfy them?"
Song Chen shook his head and asked rhetorically, "On the contrary, I want to ask you, what kind of hope do you still have for Ah Zheng?" Is Panzi Jackie Chan able to personally build Zhai Kuo Electric into a large enterprise in China and even internationally? Or will you inherit your mantle and keep this family business?"
Shen Yun said astringently: "We don't expect Ah Zheng to carry forward the family business, at least he can keep his father's hard work!" But with his character, we don't dare to have any illusions! For the sake of this son, we are also heartbroken, we can't control him anymore, but Ah Zheng has been afraid of his sister since he was a child, I think maybe Ah Yue will come back and the situation will improve!"
"Ah Yue is now fully committed to Chenxing Technology, and she is the mother of a pair of twins, so she has no time and energy to distract and discipline others, even if that person is her younger brother! How could an adult who didn't even listen to his parents listen to his sister, who was only one year older than him? Just because Ah Zheng was afraid of his sister when he was a child! Times have changed!"
Song Chen spoke in a very unceremonious tone: "Dad, Mom! Don't blame me for being direct, a lot of things are actually clear now! If you insist on letting Ah Zheng work in Zhai Kuo Electric, or even support him to the key position of chairman and general manager, then you will see in your lifetime that the company you personally created starts from endless internal friction, breaks up, collapses, and ends until it dies or is acquired!"
This is an obvious truth, but despite this, Zhai Zheng's face gradually turned gray: "How can I not understand this imminent reality?" However, if I entrust my equity and assets to a trust company in the way of Ah Yue and receive the income every month, I am also not at ease! Xiaochen, you understand that Chinese trusts are very different from American trusts! Although the rigid payment of China Trust is reassuring, it is not an act under the market, but an administrative order! If there is any economic crisis, or if there is a mistake in decision-making, the loss of assets, Ah Zheng will only be subject to the trust company in the future!"
I have to say that Zhai Zheng's worries are also justified! Song Chen bought so many trusts for his children, and he also knew that not all trust projects could make money, and of course there were a lot of losses! For example, the Chinese government is worried that trust companies will not be trusted by customers, and the rigid payment of mandatory repayment of principal and interest will definitely not be able to withstand the counterattack from the market in the future!
Shen Yun also said on the side: "What's more, we must also find something for him to do, lest he get mixed with some indiscriminate people!"
Song Chen smiled bitterly: "Pity the hearts of parents all over the world!" I'm afraid that my brother-in-law won't be able to understand your hard work! In this way, I will not give you an answer to this matter on behalf of Ah Yue, at least I have to respect her wishes!"
At this time, the car had stopped in front of the Zhai family's single-family villa, and Shen Yun sighed: "The reason why we asked you to discuss instead of calling Ah Yue directly is that we hope you will persuade Ah Yue!" With what I know about her, I'm afraid she won't want to! The sulfuric acid five years ago was not only chilling for Ah Yan, but also those of us who were women, so why don't we empathize!"
Song Chen was silent. (To be continued......)
