21. Short President
Longcheng Financial Street, Mingyuan Group Headquarters, 58th Floor Conference Room.
The meeting of Mingyuan Group headquarters is being held, in the huge conference room, a huge oval long table, the seat in the middle is empty, and more than a dozen heads of various business departments of the group with solemn expressions are chatting quietly, waiting for the arrival of Xia Lang.
As the heir of Mingyuan Group, Xia Lang has been acting as the CEO during his father's illness.
At half past nine, as a thin and neat figure pushed the door in, followed by a beautiful woman whom everyone had never met.
The man was Xia Lang, the CEO of Mingyuan Group, but the woman seemed strange.
Xia Lang sat down next to the empty chair, then motioned for Xia Qing to sit aside, and then announced the meeting.
This is just a regular meeting of the headquarters of Mingyuan Group, Xia Lang has been accompanying his father to participate in it month by month since returning from a study tour two years ago, and he is no stranger to the whole process of the meeting.
The heads of the group's various business divisions reported the progress of the business one by one, and Xia Lang took notes from time to time and was silent.
Real Estate Division, Tourism Division, Agriculture Division, Overseas Investment Division......
As the business line of Mingyuan Group is getting longer and longer, the work briefing time that needs to be listened to in the past two years has gradually lengthened, and the meeting has been held for a whole morning.
After two years of experience, Xia Lang has gradually understood the company's business line, and has become more and more skilled and experienced in handling things.
If he said that two years ago, he was forced to the position of CEO by his father Xia Mingyuan, after two years of tempering, he felt that he could sit firmly in this position.
In the past two years, as the future heir of Mingyuan Group, Xia Lang's progress is also obvious, he has changed from a second-in-command who only knows how to spend money and wine to a second-in-command of the group who controls hundreds of billions of assets. He felt that this position had always been his own, and he would definitely do better than his father.
Until one day two years ago, his mother spoke to him and completely changed his original thinking.
His mother told him that in fact, he Xia Lang was not Xia Mingyuan's biological son at all, and his father was someone else.
His mother didn't tell him who his real father was, but these words completely changed the second lord who only knew how to spend his days drinking and being carefree.
In the past, he felt that no matter how he played, the entire Mingyuan Group must be his own. And since his mother told him the truth, he went from anger at the beginning, to loss in the middle, to hard work in the end.
Xia Lang's endowment is very good, although he has never been involved in the family's business, but he is no stranger to the operation of business.
Especially in the past two years, Xia Mingyuan has almost single-handedly taught his son more than 20 years of experience and lessons.
Xia Mingyuan didn't know the secret that the mother said, and Xia Lang's mother and son agreed that this secret was only known to the two of them.
The meeting continued, and Xia Lang casually listened to the reports of the CEOs sitting below, while looking at the beautiful sister sitting beside him from time to time.
He didn't expect that his sister would get the news and come back early; What he didn't expect was that his father had somehow escaped.
Xia Mingyuan, who has not fully recovered, gave the first instruction: let Xia Qing participate in the daily management of the company. It's just that my father didn't say anything specific to let Xia Qing care.
It will take some time for his father to fully recover, and what he needs to do is: follow his father's arrangement, but not give his sister any real power.
He knew that his sister was not an ordinary eldest lady, she went abroad to study at the age of sixteen, got a degree from the world's No. 1 business school at the age of 22, and entered a world-renowned investment bank after graduation......
With this brilliant resume, Xia Qing, who is a year older than him, is enough to kill himself, a so-called turtle who is not even fluent in English.
The long meeting finally came to an end, and at the end of the meeting, Xia Lang announced a personnel appointment: Xia Qing, the daughter of the president, and his sister was the president of the group's investment division.
The company seems to be calm, but in fact, there is an undercurrent, and the executives have already learned the news of Xia Mingyuan's daughter's return from different channels in recent days, but they didn't expect the appointment to come so quickly.
Everyone applauded and congratulated, and after the meeting, several persons in charge related to the investment department stepped forward to congratulate Xia Qing.
But anyone with a discerning eye knows that Xia Qing's appointment does not have much practical significance. Everyone knows that the main business of Mingyuan Group, which Xia Mingyuan personally built for 20 years, has been real estate, and it has only begun to get involved in tourism real estate in recent years.
Mingyuan Group, which has an annual output value of hundreds of billions of yuan, has projects in operation and maintenance in China, Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States, but it has been very conservative in terms of investment.
On the one hand, this is because the group's main business is real estate, and on the other hand, it is also related to the style of the company's founder, Xia Mingyuan.
Xia Mingyuan, who was born in the military, likes to do things in a real way, and makes money by doing things, and he has always stayed away from finance, investment and other games.
It's not that you can't, it's that you don't.
"Sister, how is my arrangement?" After the meeting ended, Xia Lang accompanied his sister, who had not met for several years, and chatted while walking.
"It's good, I didn't expect to see him for a few years, Xiao Lang has made such a big progress, and the president is full of style!" Xia Qing smiled, and didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong with Xia Lang's arrangement.
"Then I'm going to get busy, and you can find me if you have anything."
Xia Lang finished speaking and left.
Xia Qingmu saw the back of her familiar and unfamiliar brother far away, looked at the empty office, and couldn't help but understand her brother's intentions.
The so-called investment department is just a fictitious position arranged by Xia Lang for his sister.
Mingyuan Group has never had a so-called investment division before, and the mergers and acquisitions and investment in real estate are mainly responsible for several bigwigs who have followed Xia Mingyuan for decades.
In recent years, the company's rapidly rising investment in tourism real estate is responsible for the tourism division and the hotel division, which are basically the descendants of Xia Lang's single-handedly cultivated in the past two years.
Whether it is real estate or tourism, several bosses report to the president or the executive president, and their positions are parallel to Xia Qing, and there is no such thing as reporting.
Looking at the new signboard of the "Investment Division" that had just been replaced on the door number, Xia Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly, entered the door, sat down, made a cup of coffee by herself, turned on the computer, but her mind was empty.
……
Xia Qing had a whole morning meeting, and I sat in the Starba coffee downstairs of Mingyuan Group for a whole half day, looking at a few books I carried with me when I was bored.
As Xia Qing's "employee", I am more like her driver. My job is: pick her up from work on time every day, from the company to home, and occasionally to the Xia family's villa.
Xia Qing would visit her father every other day and chat with him, and since they met that day, Xia Mingyuan's health has been getting better day by day.
When I am bored of reading, I poke the bracelet casually, check the character value on the bracelet every day, and it has become my habit to draw a lottery every day.
For a few days, the bracelet wheel did not bring any gains, and I was a little worried about whether my good character was ruined by the two-color ball.
However, today's big carousel is not a consolation "Thank you for participating, welcome to come back next time!" Nourishing, but a line of English characters.
It's just that unlike the previous draws, this time I drew a yellow piece of paper with English characters.
There are a few words on this piece of paper: MOTI NASDAQ.
MOTI? Isn't this a fiction site? When I'm bored, I often read novels on it.
NASDAQ? Isn't that the abbreviation for the stock exchange market in the United States?
Is this asking me to buy stocks? Could it be that the MOTI stock is going to rise?
However, I have never operated stocks when I am so big, let alone US stocks!
Thinking about it this way, it was boring anyway, so I searched the Internet for relevant information about MOTI.
It turns out that MOTI is not just a fiction website, it started as a book publishing and copyright agency. In recent years, because he began to get involved in the online literature market, he quickly signed many big-name authors, and the mobile Internet boom and the rise of IP operation in the past two years, so the development has been very rapid in the past two years.
No, last year, MOTI was officially listed on the NASDAQ for financing.
However, a search of the news found that the company's listing on the NASDAQ coincided with the world's worst financial crisis in a decade.
The world's economy is in a downturn, and it has become difficult for listed companies to raise funds, and its CEO originally expected that MOTI could raise more than 1 billion US dollars in this listing, but it turned out to be less than 30%. In the words of the professional media, this MOTI can be described as a bloody listing.
Although it was listed, the company's share price performance was not ideal, and it has been lower than the issue price for half a year, which made shareholders very disappointed, and many netizens said that they were cheated by MOTI.
Although the company announced several good news in the annual report, and also revealed that the company will make big moves in IP operation and maintenance, the evaluation of netizens is: the thunder is loud, and the rain is small.
As a result, MOTI's share price has been on a downward trend since its listing, and recently due to the continued global economic downturn, MOTI's stock price has fallen to its lowest point ever.
Staring at the news retrieved on the Internet, I thought to myself, is this a hint from the bracelet to myself, to invest in this company?
But one of them doesn't understand U.S. stocks, and even if he checks these news, he still has no clue. Second, the 3.9 million in his account is not more than 600,000 if converted into American knives.
If you don't know the situation and throw yourself in, in case you lose money, it won't be worth the loss.
Although I don't speculate in stocks, most of the people around me who speculate in stocks lose money and make money, but I don't really think much.
If this is the case for ChinaAMC A-shares, will rice stocks be different?
I wrote down this message, thinking that after Xia Qing got off work, I could ask her for advice.
After all, Xia Qing has been in the United States for so long and has done investment banking business, so she knows more about this.
