Chapter 1020 Title
Qin Wenhui's home is not far from the Song family. Since Song Yuanchao bought this house a few years ago, Qin Zhengguo and Zhang Jianguo became jealous and bought one each near the Song family.
The house where Zhang Jianguo and his family lived was on the east side, and the house that Qin Zhengguo had bought was on the west side . When they walked back from the bar, they first passed by where Qin Wenhui lived and sent her back. After watching Qin Wenhui enter the gate, Song Yangming left.
It was almost twelve o'clock when he got home. Although it was a little later than the usual time, Song Yangming did not feel sleepy because he had drunk a little wine and everyone was happy that Qin Wenhui came back today and talked about a lot of past events.
But even so, Song Yangming has to wash up and rest when he gets home. He is now the vice president of Si Te Shanghai Company. Although he is the prince of Shenghua, Song Yangming is definitely not a worker who works for three days and rests for two days. He has to rush to the company to punch in before nine o'clock every day. When the work is busy, ordinary employees will get off work at 5:30, but he is still busy. It is common for him to work overtime until six or seven o'clock.
My younger sister Song Zijun is studying in the United States. My mother Lin Yan went to Yanjing with my second aunt Luo Lin these days. My grandfather’s health is not very good. He was hospitalized for a period of time due to heart problems some time ago. He just returned home to recuperate these days. Lin Yan is worried about his health and stays in Yanjing to accompany the old man for a while.
My two uncles, my eldest uncle Lin Jianhang and my aunt went to the west a few years ago because of work transfer, but my cousin stayed in Yanjing and now lives with my grandparents. My second uncle Lin Yuhang also had a job transfer a few years ago and is now the top leader of a prefecture-level city in Jiangsu Province. Since he was transferred to work in other cities, it is not as convenient for him to return to Shanghai as before when he was in Chaoxian.
His mother and sister were not at home, so only Song Yuanchao, Song Yangming and his son lived in the huge house, along with a few servants.
Compared with Song Yangming, Song Yuanchao doesn't spend much time at home. He often travels around the world and can stay in Shanghai for less than half of every month.
Song Yuanchao was at home these days. When Song Yangming got home, he saw a faint light coming from the study. He walked towards the study, raised his hand and knocked gently on the door. Soon, he heard his father Song Yuanchao's response from inside.
"Dad, are you still awake?" Pushing the door open, I saw Song Yuanchao sitting at his desk looking at documents. The ashtray beside him was full of cigarette butts, and he had a burning cigarette in his hand.
"Oh, you're back?" Song Chaoyuan looked up when he heard the voice, put down the information in his hand and asked with a smile: "Did you see your sister Wenhui? How is she? Is she okay?"
"Yes, she is nice. She is coming back to open a branch in China. By the way, she asked me to tell you that she will come to see you in a few days." Song Yangming replied and told his father about today's gathering in general.
"This girl is so polite. When she was little, she came whenever she wanted. You can tell her to come anytime. This is her home." Song Yuanchao said with a laugh, and then continued, "She wants to open a branch in China, right? How about this, after work tomorrow, go upstairs and tell Secretary Liu that I told him to contact Wen Hui and see if there is anything she can help with."
"Okay, Dad." Song Yangming nodded, and was about to leave when Song Yuanchao stopped him.
"Please sit down." Song Yuanchao pointed at the chair in front of him and said to Song Yangming.
Song Yangming didn't understand what Song Yuanchao wanted to say to him, but he sat down anyway.
“How do you feel about being in the branch these days?”
"good……"
Song Yuanchao frowned slightly: "Is it okay?"
Knowing his father's temper, Song Yangming quickly changed his words and said, "I have gradually taken over the administrative work. Starting next month, I will be responsible for this, including the coordination of various departments. I think I will have no problem doing this..."
After listening to Song Yangming's answer, Song Chaoyuan's expression eased a lot. He had high hopes for his son.
In fact, with Song Yuanchao's current wealth and the trust fund he had set up for his family a long time ago, even if his children do not achieve anything in their lives, they will still have no worries about food and clothing.
But it is the wish of every parent to see their children become successful, and Song Chaoyuan is no exception. Although he had already paved a way out for his children, he still hoped that Song Yangming would be able to surpass him and take over his career in the future.
Especially in the past two years, as he grows older, Song Yuanchao, who is nearly fifty years old, feels that his energy is not as good as before.
First, his eyes started to become presbyopic. He didn't know when it started, but he felt that things he saw were a little blurry. At first he thought it was because he didn't sleep well, but he soon realized it and went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor told him that he was already showing signs of presbyopia and prescribed some eye drops for him. At the same time, he told him to use his eyes as little as possible.
Compared to his previous life, presbyopia came earlier in this life, which Song Yuanchao had not expected. In addition, his energy was not as good as before, and he often felt tired and had difficulty concentrating.
Although Song Chaoyuan exercises regularly and maintains a good figure, after middle age, no matter how much he exercises, his metabolism is much worse than before. If he is not careful, his weight will go up and his belly will become more protruding.
As he was about to turn fifty, Song Yuanchao was also lamenting how ruthless the passing of time was. In addition, after working hard in the business world for most of his life, Song Yuanchao, who had achieved success, also had the idea of taking a step back. However, his successor was far from being able to take over smoothly, and the current scale of Shenghua Group was extremely large. Even if it was not a company directly under Shenghua, even if it was a company related to Shenghua, it was unimaginable for ordinary people.
If it was just one person, Song Chaoyuan would let go, but the problem is that the burden on his shoulders is not only for himself, but also for the entire Shenghua system and countless families. How can Song Chaoyuan let go in this situation? Once Shenghua undergoes a major change, the consequences will be very serious. Moreover, Song Chaoyuan also hopes that Shenghua will be able to transition smoothly in the future and let Song Yangming take over his position.
What makes Song Chaoyuan happy is that his son Song Yangming is not the kind of second-generation prodigal son who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. In this regard, Song Chaoyuan and most of his brothers and friends have done a good job. The children in the family have been well educated since childhood, and apart from their personal talents and abilities, everything else is satisfactory.
Listening to Song Yangming's explanation, Song Chaoyuan nodded slightly in his heart. This was similar to what he knew, but he still hoped that his son would tell him directly, and then judge from it what Song Yangming thought of him.
It is important for a person to know himself and to have a clear mind. It is okay if you are not very capable, but it is a problem if you think you are capable and act arrogantly and arrogantly.
In his previous life, Song Yuanchao worked in a state-owned enterprise for his entire life, working his way up from the grassroots level to the middle level of the group. He came into contact with countless people and saw countless things. Combined with his entrepreneurship and experience in this life, he sees some things much more clearly than ordinary people.
For an enterprise, or a company, if the boss is incompetent, it will not actually have much impact on the enterprise. As long as the general direction of the enterprise's development remains unchanged, and the boss can employ and manage good people and put the right people in the right positions, that is enough.
Even if the company lacks the ability, it can still move forward steadily with the help of excellent professional managers. However, if the boss is obviously incompetent but is arrogant and conceited, it will cause big trouble. In other words, it is like an amateur directing the experts and making random decisions based on his own ideas. In this case, even the best company cannot withstand such a mess. If it is repeated several times, the company will not only fail to operate normally, but also lead to a large loss of excellent talents, resulting in serious consequences.
This kind of situation can be said to be everywhere. If you don't do it, you will die. Many once glorious companies collapsed in this way. If Song Yangming had enough ability, Song Chaoyuan would be happy, but if he didn't have enough ability, as long as he had a clear mind and could put himself in the right position , it would be enough for Song Chaoyuan.
"I want to ask you something." Song Yuanchao suddenly said to his son.
"Dad, you say."
"There are two different opinions within Shenghua regarding the real estate industry. One is optimistic about the future development of real estate and suggests taking advantage of the current recovery of the real estate industry to increase investment in this area and gain more ."
"As for the second, the conservative view is that the current real estate boom is a bit too much. It is feasible to invest moderately, but they are worried that there will be problems if they put most of their energy into this industry. So they suggest to proceed steadily, expand while observing the situation, and stop immediately if the overall situation changes, so as to reduce unnecessary losses."
"What do you think about these two points? I would like to hear your opinion."
After Song Yuanchao finished speaking, he looked at Song Yangming. Song Yangming did not expect that Song Chaoyuan would suddenly give him such a big question, and he fell silent for a while.
Seeing that Song Yangming did not answer immediately, Song Chaoyuan did not urge him. He put out the almost burned-out cigarette in the ashtray beside him, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, quietly waiting for Song Yangming's answer.
After a long time, Song Yangming finally spoke.
"Dad, the question you gave me is really too big. To be honest, I can't answer you now."
"reason?"
"The reason is simple. First, I don't know much about the current real estate industry. I only know a rough outline. To understand the overall situation, I don't have enough information. I must first collect some data, including overall data on the current domestic real estate industry, such as the future economic trends in China, the scale structure of existing real estate developers, policy changes, banking and finance, consumer groups, development costs and other aspects."
"Secondly, I have never been involved in this industry before. Even if I have data and information, it is just superficial. Even if I make an analysis, it is just a reference. In addition, many things in business are uncertain, especially projects like this cannot be decided by these, so I can't answer."
Song Chaoyuan was not angry at Song Yangming's words, on the contrary, Song Chaoyuan was very pleased. He had never expected Song Yangming to answer this question from the beginning, because there was no standard answer to this question. Whether it was the radicals or the conservatives, they had their own reasons. Moreover, under the current situation of the real estate industry recovery, no matter which side's view was adopted to make a decision, it would not be bad for Shenghua.
