Chapter 18 Chairman of Yuanhua Group
Wu Wenguang, as the founder of Yuanhua Group, is inevitably discussed within the company, although Lin Yu has not been in Yuanhua for a long time, but he has also heard a lot of things about him, many of which are absurd and incredible.
Some people from Wu Wenguang's fellow villagers said that Wu Wenguang was born in 1960 in rural Shanxi, and that he had three brothers and sisters, but all of them died young. He also said that the day he was born on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month was the "Halloween" when the gates of hell were wide open, and he was destined to be a great and accomplished figure in both black and white in the future.
Wu Wenguang was born and extraordinary, and no one can say anything, but there are different opinions on how he created the "Empire State Building" of the Yuanhua Group.
Lin Yu couldn't be sure which one was true, but there was a saying that went like this:
The reporter interviewed Wu Wenguang and said: Mr. Wu, where did you get your huge wealth?
Wu Wenguang said: I bought an apple for one dollar, washed it and bought it for two yuan, then used these two dollars to buy two apples, washed it and sold it for four yuan, and then ......
The reporter interrupted Wu Wenguang and said: Mr. Wu, I seem to know what you are going to say.
Wu Wenguang said: You know your sister, later a relative of mine died, and he had no closer people, and I inherited a huge inheritance from him.
Of course, Lin Yu believes that this is a joke that people ridicule Wu Wenguang after dinner, but what kind of magic power Wu Wenguang has and what kind of person he is, Lin Yu has no way of knowing.
As for why Wu Wenguang sent so many houses and cars to Han Jing, Han Jing said that Wu Wenguang and her father are friends, not a simple political and business relationship, decades ago, she was not born yet, her father is still a small clerk, Wu Wenguang has not yet founded Yuanhua, they are already very good friends, and later Han Jing was born, Wu Wenguang became Han Jing's godfather again, her godfather doted on her and responded to her requests, Lin Yu was able to enter Yuanhua smoothly because of her relationship with Wu Wenguang.
The relationship between the two families made Lin Yu a little suspicious that Wu Wenguang and Shen Ronghua were colluding with politics and business, maybe Han Jing expected Lin Yu to think so, she said that her father was not an official in charge of the economy, and the power in his hands did not play a role in Wu Wenguang, and Wu Wenguang also had a good relationship with the top leaders of the city, and her father was only one of several deputy mayors, presumably Wu Wenguang had nothing to rely on him.
Lin Yu's original cognition was: no businessman, no traitor, no official and no greed, once they become friends, then there must be collusion between officials and businessmen, fraud for profit, and corruption and perversion of the law. Since he met Han Jing and gained insight, he gradually realized that he had a small peasant mentality, which made him look at things too one-sidedly, too small and small-eyed, and he began to reflect on whether he was too cynical and generalized in the past.
Now listening to Han Jing talk about the relationship between her father and Wu Wenguang, Lin Yuti recognized one thing he had been pondering for a long time, that is, no matter what society, what country, what system, it is a small number of elites who stand at the top of the food chain to control many ordinary people, the so-called democracy is that the elites are vying for power and profit above, and ordinary people are waving their flags and shouting below, but in any case, ordinary people are still ordinary people.
Elites, all of them are talents, knowledgeable, outstanding, interesting and insightful when they say what they say, naturally appreciate each other, like each other, help each other, for ordinary people can do not discriminate even if they have cultivation, Lin Yu used to think that this is a great rebellion, it is the injustice of the world, but now he feels that maybe this is a more ancient and immutable social law, but also the sorrow of mankind, maybe only the realization of communism can get rid of such sorrow, but that is only a very distant hope.
In Lin Yu's eyes, Wu Wenguang and Shen Ronghua are such elites, they are out of the bottom society, they don't know the sufferings of the world, and they only know how to stand high in the clouds and talk about hundreds of millions of projects.
But when Lin Yu really saw Wu Wenguang, he found that Wu Wenguang was a little different from what he imagined, he was not the kind of pot-bellied and oily face, nor was he the kind of heroic and capable appearance.
Lin Yu remembered that it was a later morning, when he arrived at the company at ten o'clock, and as soon as he arrived at the company, Wang Qi told him that Wu Wenguang was looking for him.
When Lin Yu heard this, he was surprised, frightened, and extremely shocked, he really didn't expect that the chairman of the group would ask to see him by name, you must know that he had just entered the group, and he was still in the training period, and he didn't have any specific work, so he couldn't talk about any merits, and his first thought was: he wouldn't let the chairman know about the things he went to work to fish.
"When did the chairman say he wanted to see me?" Lin Yu asked Wang Qi.
"It's about seven o'clock in the morning." Wang Qi replied.
As soon as Lin Yu heard it, something was wrong, it was past ten o'clock now, and he didn't know how to explain to the chairman that he had come to see him for so long. Yuanhua's managers are all free to commute, and Lin Yu's arrival at the company is not the latest, but he didn't expect the chairman to arrive at the company at seven o'clock, isn't he free to commute?
Lin Yu saw Wu Wenguang with apprehension, if it weren't for the chairman's office, Lin Yu couldn't believe that this person in front of him would be the head of this business empire with a market value of nearly 100 billion.
Wu Wenguang is medium-sized, thin, wearing a gray Chinese-style cardigan, and a pair of black mille-feuille shoes, the cardigan seems to have faded slightly due to repeated washing, and the shoes are very new, as if they have just been bought.
"Chairman, are you looking for me?" Lin Yu said the first thing when he saw Wu Wenguang.
"You...... You are......? Wu Wenguang was a little puzzled by this young man who had recklessly barged in.
"I'm the deputy project manager when I first came to the company." Lin Yu said.
"Assistant Project Manager?" Wu Wenguang seemed to have forgotten about looking for Lin Yu in the morning.
"Chairman, my name is Lin Yu."
"Lin Yu! Are you Lin Yu? ”
"Yes, chairman, I am Lin Yu."
Wu Wenguang changed from doubts to smiles, warmly invited Lin Yu to sit down, and personally poured him a glass of water, Lin Yu was flattered, trembling and trembling as he held the water handed over by Wu Wenguang with both hands.
"Drink water and don't be nervous." Wu Wenguang said kindly.
"Thank you, Chairman." Lin Yu took a shallow sip of the water in his hand.
When drinking water, Lin Yu saw Wu Wenguang through the glass, his face was dark, there were many wrinkles on his forehead at the corners of his eyes, and his hair was gray and sparse, like many uncles and uncles in Lin Yu's rural hometown, which also made his originally nervous mood relax a lot.
"Do you know what I'm looking for you?" Wu Wenguang paced to the front of the work, sat down and said.
"Chairman, what do you want me to do?" Lin Yu put the water in his hand on the coffee table next to him and asked.
Wu Wenguang took out a piece of paper from the drawer of his desk, picked up a pen and wrote and drew on it for a while, as if he hadn't heard Lin Yu's words.
"How are you and Jingjing?" Wu Wenguang suddenly stopped writing and looked up at Lin Yu and asked.
"Jingjing? You're talking about Han Jing, we're pretty good. Lin Yu said.
"Pretty good? Well, that's good. Wu Wenguang lowered his head and continued to write his things.
Then there was silence, Lin Yu didn't know what to do, Wu Wenguang didn't speak, he didn't dare to take the initiative to speak, he sat upright like a primary school student, time passed minute by minute, he could clearly hear the beating sound of his heart, and he could also feel the rhythm of hitting his chest.
Lin Yu saw a cursive calligraphy painting hanging on the wall behind Wu Wenguang, with dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, iron painting silver hooks, which was difficult to identify for a while.
Lin Yu looked at it for a long time and recognized that the few big characters on it were "Don't forget the original intention", and the small characters behind seemed to be calligraphy from another realm, which was difficult for Lin Yu to recognize.
"How long have you been together?" Wu Wenguang suddenly asked again.
"For how long? It's been more than three months. Lin Yu almost didn't react to what Wu Wenguang's words meant.
"That's not a long time." Wu Wenguang said.
"It's not short." Lin Yu said.
"Your young people's concept of time is really different from that of our generation."
Lin Yu didn't know what Wu Wenguang meant, should three months be considered a short time? How long can it be said that it is not short?
"When I was a child, I was harvesting wheat in the countryside, and it took more than a month to be busy, and now it is all harvesters, and it will be done in a few days." Wu Wenguang and Lin Yu said something inconsequential.
"The times have progressed, and everything is faster." Lin Yu said casually.
"The first time I took the train from my hometown in Shanxi to the city, the old train, oops, bang, dangdang, bang, drink If it weren't for the fact that someone divided a few dry buns, I wouldn't have been able to get to the station by train. ”
Regarding the hard years of the older generation, Lin Yu heard a lot from the elders when he was a child, although he often felt that it was an unimaginable era, but he would not feel incredible.
"Trains were slow back then." Lin Yu echoed again.
"Yes, at that time, the carriages and horses were very slow, there was no mobile phone, everything was very slow, and it made people feel that life was also slow, so slow that there was only enough to love one person in a lifetime, you should treat Jingjing well." Wu Wenguang said.
"But her dad doesn't seem to like me very much." Lin Yu said
"Hahaha, no dad would like his daughter's boyfriend." Wu Wenguang said with a smile.
"But her father is the deputy mayor."
"What's wrong with the deputy mayor, the deputy mayor doesn't eat and sleep? The daughter of the deputy mayor will not marry? ”
"But I think the difference in status between us is too big, I ......"
"I told you that we are a socialist country, and everyone is equal, and besides, Shen Ronghua is a party member, and if he dislikes your class, he will violate his beliefs. I also know that my goddaughter will not listen to her father. ”
Lin Yu felt that what Wu Wenguang said was the truth, but now that it is a money society, the truth is not so important.
"I can understand your worries, fortunately, you are still young, you have no status but have potential, you are a deputy project manager in Yuanhua, and your position is indeed a little lower, I think I should mention it to you."
"Mention" Lin Yu didn't dare to believe what Wu Wenguang meant, until Wu Wenguang handed the finished paper in his hand to Lin Yu, and Lin Yu found out that it was a "personnel appointment".
"I decided to promote you from the current deputy project manager to the deputy department manager, originally I was going to let you be the manager, but considering that the department is cumbersome and it takes time to get started, first become an assistant manager to familiarize yourself with the business, and then let you be the department manager after half a year."
Lin Yu didn't expect that he would be promoted to deputy department manager before the training of his deputy project manager was completed, he didn't do anything, but his position was promoted by a big level, how to describe that feeling? Anyway, it's the feeling of joy falling from the sky.
