When a person reaches a certain high position, they no longer think about how much money they earn and how much they spend, they pay more attention to their contribution to society. Because it is closely related to one's own ability, it is also the most perfect embodiment of one's own value.

Take Hong Xing as an example, if he hadn't chosen to follow Li Mai at that time, maybe he would still be the owner of a small machinery processing factory, selling millions of goods to domestic and foreign manufacturing enterprises every year, and earning 1.8 million yuan is enough to buy a tattered BMW 7 Series and can only be a three-point zero displacement medium car.

Compared to others, life should also be quite comfortable. But one day he will not be satisfied with the status quo and want to seek greater development. The reason is obvious, after a long time, rich people will not feel rich.

Whether you have money or not, it's not about going home for the New Year, but relatively.

Now he is the same.

He made the right bet and followed Li Mai, who gave him a reward that he could not imagine. Aside from the 0.5% equity of the group in his hand, the annual salary of tens of millions of dollars per year alone topped all his income during the years he was a small business owner.

At first, of course, I was satisfied, and I couldn't be more satisfied, what a tattered BMW 7 series, even if it is a tall top luxury national car like Hongqi L5, you can also sit in two or three of them, if you can buy it.

Over time, the mindset begins to change. The annual salary plus dividends suddenly made him feel that the money seemed to be impossible to spend in a few lifetimes, so, what are the pursuits of being a man in the following days?

It's not money or power.

To a certain extent, power is social status, and social status is closely related to professional status, and it can even be said that it is determined by professional status.

In the board of directors of the Gun Regiment Construction Group, Hong Xing will be close to the end, if not the last. He wants to have a greater opportunity and platform to positive his own value, otherwise he would not have carved a way out of the gun regiment construction group to go it alone.

Hong Xing's idea is not very complicated, no matter how bad it is, it is not difficult for him to separate from the group with the precision machinery manufacturing factory and completely become his own enterprise.

Among the many assets of the group, only the precision machinery manufacturing plant under his hand is isolated, and it is almost not related to other enterprises, and it cannot form any complementary situation. He has been doing machinery manufacturing for half his life, and he is familiar with it, if it is separated into his own enterprise, he is also confident that the precision machinery manufacturing factory will develop into a precision machinery manufacturing group company.

Of course, what he wanted was to exchange 0.5 percent of the equity in his hands for the entire equity of the precision machinery manufacturing plant. In terms of asset value, the price is still at a relatively large premium, he thought, even if it is a kind of reward for Li Mai.

Therefore, when Tian Jun finally told him that he would not participate in his plan, he decided to talk to Li Mai about buying the precision machinery factory.

This should be regarded as the first so-called "independence" incident encountered by Li Mai since the establishment of the Gun Regiment Construction Group.

Therefore, on the seventh day after Li Mai returned to the chairman's office on the top floor of the Gun Regiment Construction Group, Hong Xing came to see him and expressed this meaning tactfully, Li Mai would be a little unable to react for a while.

"Lao Hong, I don't understand it very well. Li Mai shook his head, pulled all his attention away from the complicated text, looked at Hong Xing sitting at the desk, and asked, "You mean, you want to exchange the group shares in your hand for a precision machinery manufacturing factory?"

Facing Li Mai, Hong Xing still has some pressure, after all, Li Mai has been in a high position for so long, and the momentum of the superior on his body is very strong.

"Yes. Hong Xing thought for a moment and said, "Brother Mai, I know that it is not appropriate to make such a request to you at this time, but I have my own ideas. I want to work hard again and have some energy now. ”

Li Mai completely turned his mind to this matter, thought about it a little, and looked at Hong Xing's somewhat unfamiliar expression, he slowly thought of something.

picked up the cigarette and lit it and took two puffs, Li Mai handed the cigarette to Hong Xing, Hong Xing took it with both hands, took out one, lit it and smoked.

At this time, Li Maicai smiled and said, "Lao Hong, it's because of the merger of Nankai Company into the group." More than 100 billion assets came in, diluting the equity of all the directors on the board except me. You should have some money in your hands, so why don't you increase your holdings?"

Hong Xing smiled slightly bitterly and said, "Brother Mai, my little money doesn't play a role at all...... Actually, the most important reason is not here. More money and less money, Brother Mai, you know who my Lao Hong is, I don't value these very much. I'm forty-two years old this year, and I'm full of calculations, and I still have some energy to do business, so I'll be in the past seven or eight years. I want to fight again and see how far I can go. ”

"The value of life. Li Mai nodded, "I understand." ”

After a pause, he said, "Lao Hong, when we were in the partnership, I said that I would not stop anyone who wanted to leave at any time. This phrase has always been valid. ”

"Thank you, Brother Mai, in my heart, I am indeed ashamed of you. Hong Xing bowed his head and said.

Li Mai smiled and waved his hand and said, "There is nothing to be ashamed of in business." If you want to leave the Gun Regiment Construction Group and make a career on your own, I should support you. Yes, everyone has a different life and different ideas. You should be respected and understood for making such a choice. If I were you, I would like to be understood. ”

"Brother Mai, thank you. Hong Xing was very moved in his heart, and even regretted making this decision.

Li Mai changed his words, "But, Lao Hong, I can't sell you the precision machinery factory." ”

Suddenly, Hong Xing raised his head and looked at Li Mai, stunned, and said, "Brother Mai, the 0.5% of the shares in my hand are estimated to be thirty or four hundred million according to the lowest level. I have also found a third-party organization to evaluate the precision machinery manufacturing factory, and the asset value does not exceed one billion. The premium is still very strong. ”

Shaking his head with a smile, Li Mai said, "It's not about money. In fact, you also know that although the group has launched two super projects, the funds have always been very abundant. Moreover, this time the Nankai Company came in, and there are more than 70 billion assets in the real bank vault. All in all, the group has so much money that it hurts my brain. ”

"Lao Hong, let's talk about business now. Let's put it this way, if it was a month ago, I wouldn't have thought that I would definitely give you the precision manufacturing factory, not a billion yuan, I will give you one hundred million, after all, you and I have been fighting together for so long. "But not now." ”

Hong Xing's heart was half cold, "Why?"
