Chapter 42 Four Camps
After Lin Yushu cleaned up, he went directly to the company. He concealed his exhaustion well. Except for the dark circles under his eyes, no one could find evidence that he was repeatedly "ravaged".
But if you observe carefully, you will find that Mr. Lin, who is usually vigorous and resolute, walks very slowly today, as if driving at 0.5 times the speed, and even the overall atmosphere of the home office seems to have entered a slow pace.
As for the culprit of all this, he didn't come to work until close to noon. Perhaps this could not dispel Shao Guangjie's doubts, but at least it would not arouse the suspicion of other colleagues.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Yushu came to the small conference room on time to attend the "important meeting" that Shao Guangjie called.
The topic of the meeting had been sent to Shao Hedong's mailbox by his secretary, saying that it was to discuss the future development of the company. It was not until Lin Yushu sat down at the conference table that he realized that the atmosphere of today's meeting was quite delicate.
"First of all," Shao Hedong, as the chairman of the group, spoke first after all the executives arrived, "Let's first congratulate the vice chairman for getting back the 'lost ground'."
Shao Hedong was the only one who dared to mention the word "deputy" in front of Shao Hexu.
But this didn't affect Shao Hedong's applause in unison, which made Shao Hexu's face even uglier.
"Then about these few lands," Shao Hedong paused, and continued, "I think it's a waste to put them there for mortgage financing. I don't know what you think of the vice chairman?"
"Waves are not wasted, and you can't just rely on 'thinking'." Shao Hexu also spoke with sarcasm, insinuating that Shao Hedong just opened his mouth.
He was clearly prepared and asked the secretary to distribute a stack of materials to everyone present, saying: "This is the revenue generated by Eternal Star Entertainment for the group in the past two years, which shows that it is a very correct decision to invest this money in the entertainment industry.”
Lin Yushu had long been familiar with the data in the materials, but he suddenly realized that today's meeting seemed unusual, and the two big bosses were planning to confront each other head-on.
"I don't deny that you do make money by making movies." Shao Hedong glanced at the information in his hand and took it lightly, "But what I want to say is that the funds you invest in the entertainment industry must be spent on those few pieces of land.Mortgage financing? With so many stocks in your hands, you can also pledge them.”
Stock pledge is a very common financing method, but most of them are shareholders of companies with poor management.Shao Hexu has so many assets in his hands, no matter what, he can't touch his stocks.
And Shao Hedong must also know this, but he insisted on saying this, clearly insulting Shao Hexu's IQ.
Lin Yushu couldn't help being a little surprised. If you want to talk about the two brothers, they did have constant friction after the old man's illness, but they seldom confronted each other like today.
After thinking about it, he could only think of one possibility—something recently caused the conflict between the two of them.
"Those pieces of land are the assets of Eternal Star Real Estate, and how I want to manage it is my business." Shao Hexu did not back down, "If I remember correctly, I am in charge of the real estate affairs. Did you extend your hand?Too long?"
"Then I have to remind you, if it wasn't for Manager Lin—" Having said this, Shao Hedong seemed to remember Lin Yushu's promotion, and changed his words, "Mr."
Lin Yushu didn't make a sound, and looked at the information with lowered eyes. After all, in this kind of situation, it's better to minimize his presence.
However, judging from Shao Hedong's words, he obviously didn't know about Song Qiming's existence in the whole matter.
"The land has already been taken back, when do you want to talk about it?" Shao Hexu patted the table unbearably, "You just say it clearly, are you going to grab my land?"
"What's your land?" Shao Hedong suddenly raised his voice, "It's obviously the company's land!"
These two also saw that everyone present was insiders, so they quarreled with each other one by one.
In fact, strictly speaking, those lands are indeed owned by the company Eternal Star Real Estate, but Shao Hexu is the major shareholder of Eternal Star Real Estate, so he naturally has the right to dispose of these lands.
However, Fang Lan originally wanted to take these lands and reorganize the company, but also promised other small and medium shareholders to participate in the normal shares, so he did not encounter opposition from other shareholders.
Therefore, it is true that the ownership of those lands belongs to the company, and the companies of the Shao family have a layer-by-layer structure. The Eternal Star real estate is above the Eternal Star listed company, and behind the listed company is the Eternal Star Holdings.The group, so Shao Hedong, as the chairman, would not have no position at all if he insisted on meddling with these lands.
"The current policy is changing every day. Do you know that it is safest to keep the land in your own hands?" Shao Hexu said, "I don't think it will be able to pay back the cost of the resort proposed by the Southern Border Group in three to five years!"
"That is a project supported by the government, and a scenic spot will be planned in the future, so why can't it pay back?" Shao Hedong asked furiously.
"It's meaningless for us to argue about whether we can get back the money or not." Shao Hexu seemed determined not to give in, "Let me tell you from another angle, when the scenic spot is planned, the value of that piece of land will at least double., Why do we have to discuss cooperation with the Southern Border Group now? Besides, the land is in our hands, and when it really develops there, we still have many choices, why build a resort?"
"Your vision is only so short-sighted." Shao Hedong looked like he wanted to curse, "The Southern Border Group has businesses all over the world. If you get on their ship, there will be many opportunities in the future, so you have to be careful.Considering your one-acre three-point land, consider the overall situation?"
"Do you know how expensive this boat ticket is? I'm just considering the overall situation!"
"I think you just don't want to get back the money you invested in the entertainment industry. Did you promise a few female stars to make movies for them?"
"Shao Hedong, it's meaningless for you to say these things."
After hearing the two quarrel for a long time, Lin Yushu probably sorted out the ins and outs.
It turned out that the "cooperation" that Du Yufei had mentioned to him was to use the land of Eternal Star real estate to build a resort.
Shao Hexu obviously didn't want to cooperate, so Du Yufei probably went to find Shao Hedong again, which caused the conflict between the two brothers.
After quickly going through the information of each piece of land in his mind, Lin Yushu suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
He turned his head slightly, and asked Shao Guangjie who was beside him in a low voice, "Where does the Southern Border Group want to build a resort?"
"As far as the economic development zone is concerned, we still have to go outside." Shao Guangjie also said in a low voice, "That wretched place is full of depressions."
... It's the land that Song Qiming has set his sights on.
The participants in today's meeting are all senior executives of Eternal Star Group, and Song Qiming is only the general manager of a subsidiary of Eternal Star Automobile, so he is naturally not qualified to participate.
"Since you don't like oil and salt, don't blame me for not being sympathetic." Shao Hedong finally didn't want to continue the quarrel, and calmed down, "I will hold a temporary board of directors after a while, and let the directors collectively decide whether we want toCooperate with the Southern Boundary Group."
"You!" Shao Hexu was furious immediately. As the saying goes, the first rank of officials crushes people to death. Sometimes it is really difficult for him to resist Shao Hedong's decision.
"By the way, Mr. Xiao Lin." Shao Hedong looked at Lin Yushu suddenly, and said, "I heard that you and Du Yufei Du of the Southern Boundary Group are always alumni. You can talk to him more when you have time, and see how we can promote cooperation."
... This is the default that the board of directors will pass his decision.
Lin Yushu pursed his lips and said, "Okay, Director Shao."
Shao Hexu slammed the door and left, and the others also went back to work one after another.Shao Guangjie suddenly called Lin Yushu who was about to leave: "President Xiao Lin."
Different from Shao Hedong's formality, his tone was a bit frivolous, as if calling this title a nickname.
"Come to my office," he said, "I have something for you."
Lin Yushu thought that Shao Guangjie had something to ask him to do, but he didn't expect that when he came to the office, Shao Guangjie took out a watch box from the drawer, handed it to him and said, "Here, a promotion gift."
Hearing these four words, Lin Yushu suddenly thought of what happened last night. After all, Song Qiming hadn't even given him a promotion gift yet.
——It doesn’t count if he posted it himself.
"This," he looked at the Rolex logo and didn't answer it in embarrassment, "it's too precious, Mr. Shao."
But in fact, compared with Song Qiming's watch, this Rolex is only about 200,000 yuan, which is not particularly expensive.
"Take it, you deserve it." Shao Guangjie raised Lin Yushu's wrist involuntarily and helped him put the watch on, "Do you like it?"
... no.
"I can't take it." Lin Yushu wanted to take off the watch, but Shao Guangjie held down his wrist.
"Don't refuse my kindness." Shao Guangjie walked straight back to the desk, not giving Lin Yushu a chance to refuse, "I made a reservation for a restaurant tonight, and the family manager celebrated it for you yesterday, and it's my turn today."
Lin Yushu's reaction had never been so fast. He immediately said, "I just invited Mr. Du from the Southern Boundary Group to have dinner."
In fact, there is no appointment yet, but this reason is seamless, after all, it is something Shao Hedong explained.
Shao Guangjie couldn't say anything, so he could only raise his eyebrows and said, "Are you so popular? You can't even make an appointment for a meal."
"Mr. Shao, I appreciate your kindness." Lin Yushu still took off the watch and put it back on Shao Guangjie's desk.
In the bathroom last time, in order to take care of Shao Guangjie's face, he held back his anger, and now he doesn't want to do this again.
"I'll work hard even after being promoted," he continued, "You don't need to reward me, my work attitude won't change in any way."
The focus is on the last few words, Shao Guangjie's expression changed subtly, obviously he understood Lin Yushu's subtext.
"Then I'll go back to work." After Lin Yushu said this, he left Shao Guangjie's office.
On the way back to his office, Lin Yushu first made an appointment for dinner with Du Yufei, and then sent a message to tell Song Qiming about it.
"Lin Yushu: Building a track is out of the question"
"Lin Yushu: Shao Hedong is going to use it to build a resort"
Song Qiming didn't reply for a long time, Lin Yushu thought he was busy.
However, as soon as Lin Yushu entered the office, Song Qiming appeared at the door of his office.
"Boss Lin." Song Qiming knocked on the office door symbolically, "Do you have time? I want to talk to you about something."
Several colleagues from the home office looked over, and Lin Yushu said "Please come in" with his usual expression. After Song Qiming closed the office door and closed the blinds, he immediately changed into an inquiring tone and asked, "What are you doing?"What are you doing? Are you afraid that others will not know about our relationship?"
Song Qiming had a serious expression just now, and suddenly laughed: "What's the relationship between us? Huh?"
"Cough." Lin Yushu cleared his throat unnaturally, did not answer Song Qiming's question, and continued to ask, "What are you doing here suddenly?"
Song Qiming walked around behind the desk, leaned against the edge of the desk, and asked Lin Yushu, "Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"
Lin Yushu felt strange: "Is this really a lie?"
"It's because I'm too lazy to send messages." Song Qiming reached out to lift Lin Yushu's chin, and gently brushed his lips with his thumb. "The truth is, I miss you."
Lin Yushu's face flushed red.
Why is this German guy so annoying?
He retracted his chin, frowned and said, "Don't say nonsense in the place where I work."
Song Qiming smiled and said, "Alright then, let's talk about work."
Lin Yushu shared the information obtained at the meeting with Song Qiming, and also helped him analyze the situation by the way: "There are 11 directors on the board of directors, and people from Shao Hedong occupy 4 seats. Shao Hexu and Fangtian Real Estate originally occupied 3 seats.Seats, but now Fang Tian’s people don’t know if they will help him. There are still 4 external directors left, all of whom are neutral. Recently, Shao Hexu made such a mess, and most of these directors will support Shao Hedong.”
"So," Song Qiming rubbed his chin thoughtfully, "it can be understood that the board of directors is divided into four camps: Shao Hedong, Shao Hexu, Fangtian Real Estate, and outside directors."
"Yes, it's a dead end anyway." Lin Yushu couldn't help but sighed, "Without Shao Hedong's involvement, there might be some hope for this matter. But now that the chairman has spoken, it's impossible for you to take that piece from himland."
Song Qiming was silent and did not speak.
Lin Yushu said again: "It's easier to ask your grandfather directly than to get the land from Shao Hedong."
——But according to Shao Zhenbang's personality that values family harmony, it is impossible for him to do such a partial thing.
"What about the Southern Boundary Group?" Song Qiming asked, "Is it possible to start with them?"
"Are you telling them to give up the cooperation?" Lin Yushu immediately understood what Song Qiming meant, "I asked Du Yufei to have dinner, and I can find out what he has to say later."
"Du Yufei." Song Qiming repeated the name, his eyes gradually turned cold, "Can I understand that it's your crush who is grabbing land from me?"
"..." Lin Yushu was left speechless by Song Qiming's brain circuit, "I haven't had a crush on him for a long time, okay?"
"I see." Song Qiming didn't seem to be listening at all, and said to himself, "I'll figure out a way."
