The first person a man worships is usually his father.
And when he grew up, the first opponent he wanted to surpass was his father.
After graduating from university, Peter Ho was ambitious to return to Hong Kong Island and build something big.
At first, he didn't want to work and help in his father's company.
Because he felt that in such a situation, even if he achieved results, no one would think that it was his own ability.
but……
Unable to overcome his father's authority, he lost his autonomy and could only stay under his father's supervision every day.
Almost all of his business activities were completed under the instructions of his father, and he had no autonomy at all.
What’s the difference between a day like this and a puppet?
Every time, when Ho Ying-tsun finally came up with a good business plan, he would discuss it with his father with great ambition, hoping to get his support.
But the result he got was to criticize him for being too ambitious, not down-to-earth, and always thinking of achieving success overnight.
Huo Zhenting was particularly unconvinced because he was Huo Yingdong's eldest son!
Of course, you have to find some big projects that can make a big splash. Those business plans that small street vendors can think of and do, and then you do it yourself, even if you succeed, it’s not a big deal.
How much profit and benefits can be gained?
so……
Peter Ho felt that his father must have been deliberately suppressing him. He was like the king of a lion group, suppressing every adult male lion that might threaten his position as king.
Especially this time, when he was denied by his father again, all the resentment that Huo Zhenting had suppressed in his heart for a long time came out at once.
"Dad! After I graduated from the University of Southern California in 1968, I originally wanted to stay in the United States and start a business on Wall Street.
But you asked me to return to Hong Kong Island to develop, and I listened.
You asked me to be a director of Huo Xingyetang Real Estate Company, and I did it.
I am like your puppet. If you tell me to go east, I go east. If you tell me to go west, I go west.
I take every word you say as my guiding principle.
I thought that if I behaved well and worked hard, I would definitely get your approval.
But I think I was wrong. Even though I had made sufficient plans and proposals, you still rejected them all when they were presented to you. "
Huo Zhenting became more and more excited as he spoke, with saliva flying everywhere. All the words that he had kept in his heart and dared not say to his father suddenly poured out.
"You're just afraid that I'll surpass you, right? I learned advanced business management experience abroad.
What's the point of me learning all this if you don't let me actually take charge?
You always tell me to learn more from the directors in the company.
What can I learn from them? They haven't even been to college. Should I learn how to drink, eat and socialize? Or should I learn how to be a secretary in the office?"
"Daddy! Daddy! You are old now. Your generation has taken advantage of the times.
They simply took the lead and expanded their business when Hong Kong Island had not yet been fully developed.
However, now that the company has grown larger, it must be governed by scientific enterprise management methods.
We must select talented and capable people for positions, rather than appointing people based on personal connections.
Haha! Besides, is there anyone in the company who is closer to you than me? You don't need me either?
Daddy! Please let me go, okay? I can do it, I'm grown up! Your Zhen Ting is already over 30 years old, he is no longer a child! "
…
Just like this, Huo Zhenting poured out his grievances fiercely, but Huo Yingdong's face was as calm as water, and he listened to him quietly.
Then, she took a sip of tea, stared at him with a sharp gaze, sighed and said:
"Zhen Ting! Daddy really didn't know that you actually thought like this in your heart.
You've been suppressing it for so long, why can't you just tell me directly? "
"How dare I! Daddy, you don't know how scary you are when you get angry.
In fact, it's not just me. My brothers and sisters also don't dare to tell you the truth. They usually want to stay away from you!
Anyway, they feel that with me at the forefront, you won't ask them to have much ability or achievement in business, and they can just enjoy their life with peace of mind.
But I want to take over your job! If you don't even give me a chance to actually operate it, how can I prove my ability?
If this continues, I, the prince of the Huo Group, will have no prestige in the group. How can I convince others in the future?"
Heartbroken, Huo Zhenting finally let go today and poured out everything he had never dared to say before.
"Well! What you said does make sense.
Zhen Ting, it's not that I don't want to let you take action, nor am I seeking power.
But the plans and programs you mentioned are full of loopholes and problems, and are simply not feasible.
It's like when a baby is learning to walk, and if he takes one step forward, it's clearly a deep ditch, but I don't stop him, and I just watch him fall into it, right?"
After Huo Yingdong made a simple defense, he also reflected, "But in the final analysis, it's still my problem.
I am so afraid that you will be devastated after suffering a setback.
Such examples have occurred among many wealthy families in Hong Kong Island.
As a result, your sharpness has been worn away in the past few years.
It makes sense, without the experience of falling, how can we learn to walk and run better? "
