Chapter 91 Cui Jiachang's Decision
It is rumored that the eldest son of the Qiao family and the second daughter of the Cui family are in a relationship.
This news was unexpected, but also expected. Almost all members of Hong Kong's upper class are relatives. Qiao Qiming and Xiang Lide are old friends. How much credit does Mrs. Qiao have for Cui Huiyi's success? Who doesn't know that the Qiao family likes Cui Huiyi?
It is estimated that Qiao Junxian has settled down, and as the family successor, Qiao Junshen feels pressured. Normally, his family can tolerate him playing with celebrities.
If he really wanted to marry, he would marry a girl of equal wealth. Therefore, it was only natural for Qiao Junshen to break up with Zhou Mingling and choose Cui Huiyi.
In this way, in the fight between father and daughter, Cui Jiachang has no chance of winning at all.
Cui Jiachang sat in his office, looking at the terrible sales data. Yesterday he attended an engagement party, and originally had some extravagant hope that his old friends could help him.
Are they human? They all flatter the powerful and bully the weak. They don't even bother to give Cui Jiachang a proper once-in-a-while. They all flatter the little girl.
What's more, on that occasion, my daughter and Qiao Junshen were a couple.
Cui Jiachang pinched his brows, and still remembered that when the two children were young, they liked to play together. Ye Yingyi even said to Caiying, why not become in-laws in the future?
Caiying also likes Qiao Junshen, and she also hopes that her youngest daughter can marry into the Qiao family. The Qiao family has a good family tradition, and no one from top to bottom dislikes Huiyi's noisy personality. Besides, Ye Yingyi is also the general manager of Gangcheng Hong'an Department Store. If his daughter marries into the Qiao family, it will be of great benefit to him and Cui Ji.
Later, Caiying passed away and the children grew up. Qiao Junshen didn't have many people around him, but he never lacked girlfriends, and no one mentioned this matter anymore.
Who would have thought that at this critical moment, they would actually be together. Is there any hope for him to survive?
"Mr. Cui, Boss Chen is here." the secretary reminded him.
Boss Chen has been cooperating with him for many years. These days, there are too many suppliers who come to ask for payment. He would refuse as much as he can, but Boss Chen is the only one he is reluctant to refuse because of their long-term friendship.
Cui Jiachang stood up, walked outside and brought Boss Chen in.
The two sat down, and Boss Chen looked at his old friend's gray hair. He supplied goods to Cui Ji and Li De, and he could see the grudge between the father and daughter clearly.
He also felt that Cui Huiyi was too indifferent to the relationship between father and daughter. However, given the current situation, it was meaningless to talk about feelings. The only thing to be rational about was to put the conditions on the table and discuss.
Cui Jiachang went over and sat down on the sofa, and his secretary poured tea for the guest.
Cui Jiachang said, "Brother! We have known each other for more than ten years. I know you are in trouble, but I have no choice. Can you give me some more time?"
"It's no problem for me to wait for a day or two, but the situation is like this. Can you really keep dragging it out?" Boss Chen said straight to the point. After all, he still had so much money left to pay for the goods.
Cui Jiachang was silent. Boss Chen said, "Today's gossip is overwhelming. In the past, the Qiao family helped Ling Qianjin because of you, Old Taishan. Now they are helping their future daughter-in-law. She is so powerful now, and she has such a strong backing behind her. You can't beat her at all."
"I want it too!" Cui Jiachang sighed heavily. He felt wronged. He just wanted to keep some shares in his hands. In addition to his two daughters, he also has a son and a daughter, and Zhong Yueshan is pregnant with another one. If he gave all to his daughters, what would happen to the others?
As he talked about his troubles, his old friend took a puff of cigarette and also spoke up for Cui Jiachang. He could only analyze the situation for Cui Jiachang: "You can't bear to leave it, you want to leave it to the others. Then let me ask you, can you keep it? You want to keep some money in your hands, so why not just sell all the shares of Cui Ji and Li De?"
"How is that possible? I founded Cui Ji. How can I sell it at such a low price now?"
"If you don't sell it now, it will probably change hands in the future, right? I'm afraid that by then, others will have bought up all the shares in the market and force you to exchange them for Li De." Boss Chen reminded him, "Think about it yourself. Cui Ji is in Huiyi's hands, and the name Cui Ji is still retained. Talk to her. I personally think that you should give up Li De and give most of Cui Ji's shares to the two sisters. You can think about keeping a few shares in your hands. With Huiyi's ability, your small share is enough to provide the three children with food and clothing."
Boss Chen also knew that he was overstepping his authority, but this was the only way for suppliers like him to get paid.
Boss Chen is gone.
Cui Jiachang smoked one cigarette after another, picked up the phone and called Lide, but his daughter's secretary said she was still in a meeting.
Cui Jiachang hung up the phone and decided to go to Lide in person.
Cui Kee is in the New Territories and Li De is in Hong Kong Island. The journey takes some time. As the car passes through the tunnel, old memories come to mind.
Caiying smiled as she watched him come back from the building. His dignified father-in-law gave him advice on business, and Huiwen pounced on him like a little bird. Except for not having a son, those were his happiest days.
After his father-in-law passed away, he had Yu Wanmei, who gave birth to a son. He discussed with Caiying whether they could bring Huishu back and raise him as her son. He gave Yu Wanmei some money and broke off his relationship with her.
Caiying was making a scene with him hysterically, and he felt at that time that the young lady from a wealthy family was just like that, and was actually acting like a shrew.
Looking at Caiying who had lost her mind, he put Lide on the table and asked Caiying if she had the ability to run Lide? A spoiled young lady, even if such a huge family business was handed over to her, would she dare to take it? Caiying stopped talking.
Of course, he also took a step back and never mentioned bringing Huishu back again, so it was impossible for him to cut off contact with Yu Wanmei.
Caiying was not blessed and had a terminal illness. What she was most worried about in her dying moments were her two daughters. She used all their years of love as husband and wife to ask him to continue to run Lide well. She did not ask for anything else but to wait until her two daughters graduated from college and then hand Lide over to them.
After all, they were a young couple, so he was heartbroken and promised to run Li De well. When the two daughters grew up and had responsibilities, he would divide Li De between them. He even cried and said, "Without dad and you, Cui Ji would not be what it is today. Cui Ji would also have Huiwen and Huiyi."
He didn't take Lide seriously at the time. After all, his father-in-law had passed away for so long, and he didn't pay attention to Lide's business. Lide was no longer the same Lide. Caiying wanted to give Lide to her daughters, but the question was, do the two daughters have the ability to do so? Then she could sell Lide and use it as a dowry for her daughters!
What he didn't expect was that when he was living a life of debauchery, Caiying forced her two daughters to study and learn business. She herself had no business skills, but she raised her two daughters. In the end, it ended up like this.
When the car arrived at the entrance of Lide, the guard saw his car and took out the visitor registration form.
Do you think he is an outsider? Cui Jiachang was angry: "Don't you know who I am?"
"You and your car are not registered, so you are not allowed to enter." The guard was also tough and repeatedly emphasized that people from Cui Ji should be especially careful.
Being treated like a thief by the security guard, Cui Jiachang angrily filled out the visitor registration form. The security guard let him in, but followed him and asked the driver to park the car in the designated location.
Cui Jiachang got out of the car and walked into the office building. Before he even stepped onto the stairs, the receptionist said, "Mr. Cui, please wait at the reception desk. I'll call and report first."
"I want to register, I want to report? Do you know that I am the largest shareholder of Lide?" Cui Jiachang roared, scaring the receptionist so much that she took a step back.
"It was my request. I don't want to be drugged with borax again." Cui Huiyi appeared at the stairs with her client.
Cui Jiachang looked at his daughter with a sullen face. Cui Huiyi sent the client out and turned back to see her biological father.
"Haven't you gotten enough of losing your temper at Cui Ji these past few days? Why do you want to come to Li De to vent it?"
Cui Huiyi winked at the receptionist and she returned to her seat.
"Let's go! To my office."
Cui Huiyi walked upstairs, Cui Jiachang followed behind her daughter, and the father and daughter walked into the office.
The office has a reception area with a sofa. Cui Huiyi sat directly in the office chair, and Cui Jiachang could only sit opposite her like her subordinate, and the father and daughter looked at each other.
The secretary brought tea to Cui Jiachang.
Cui Huiyi leaned back in her office chair and said, "You'd better come up with some feasible solutions. Talking about those irrelevant things is just a waste of our time."
"Is that how you talk to your dad?"
Cui Huiyi picked up the coffee cup and smiled, "Do you want to recall the tone you used to talk to your mother?"
Cui Jiachang drooped his lips. Cui Huiyi took a sip of coffee. "I remember you said something very clearly: 'People who don't have any cards in their hands, what can they use to negotiate terms?' The day you left, mom hated her for being a girl and for not being able to conceive and giving birth to us sisters. Mom said that girls are born without cards, but I didn't believe it. Now the cards are in my hands. You can use that tone to talk to your wife who helped you start your business. Why can't I use the same tone to talk to you?"
Cui Jiachang stared at her, and Cui Huiyi smiled and looked at him. She said, "Go ahead!"
Cui Jiachang finally lost heart. "I will transfer all of Lide to you two sisters. You own 70% and Huiwen owns 30%. I will keep 10% of Cuiji. You own 30% and Huiwen owns 70%. I cannot divide the shares equally between the two companies. Even if we are sisters, one of us must have the absolute say when it comes to interests. Huiwen has brilliant business experience, financial support, and your support. I believe she can build Cuiji up."
Cui Huiyi didn't expect him to give up so completely, and she understood his distribution. When the elder sister was young, her parents were still very loving, and her feelings for him were deeper. If Cui Ji fell into her hands, she would probably sell it out, but in her sister's hands, she was willing to run it well.
Cui Huiyi said: "I have to discuss it with my sister. I don't know if she is willing to take over Cui Ji."
"Talk it over carefully, and tell me when you're done."
Cui Huiyi sighed, "There is one more thing. If you don't want Cui Huishu to be implicated by that woman, it's best to arrange for them to leave Hong Kong. Otherwise, your second wife will create an unmanageable situation for you at any time."
Cui Jiachang stood up and turned around, his feet feeling a little light-headed. After all, he had given up his life's work.
He walked out step by step. His daughter sent a client away but not him. He was the only one with no cards at the table. What could he do?
Just like when Caiying was dying, she didn't believe that he would manage Lide well and take good care of his two daughters, so she could only entrust Lide and her daughters to him.
Cui Jiachang went downstairs, got in the car, and said to the driver, "Go to Yu Wanmei's place."
Since the last time he made a big noise, the master had not been to the second wife's place. Why did he go to the second wife's place after coming to Lide? The driver was puzzled, but as a driver, the best habit is not to know anything, just to send the master there.
