The classmate blinked her starry eyes and looked at Liusha who was approaching them with a crazy look on her face.
When the quicksand stopped in front of the two of them, the classmate was so shy that he almost fainted.
"Master, the car is a little far from the school gate. I'll take you there."
Liusha didn't even look at his deskmate, and just led the way after he finished speaking.
Deskmate: “…”
"No, Xiao Qingran. Do you know him? Why does he call you master? What is your relationship?"
Facing the three consecutive questions from his deskmate, Xiao Qingran said with a smile: "He is my bodyguard, assistant and driver."
Seeing her deskmate's mouth open in disbelief, Xiao Qingran waved at her: "See you next time."
Even after they had walked a long way, Xiao Qingran could still see the figure of his deskmate stopping through the rearview mirror.
Xiao Qingran couldn't help but look at Liusha.
This guy is obviously a quiet person, and he hardly speaks except for a few words in front of her. How come he is so popular with girls?
Feeling Xiao Qingran's strange gaze, Liusha immediately stiffened his body and dared not move.
Xiao Qingran suddenly chuckled and praised: "Liusha, you are so handsome!"
quicksand:"……"
He didn't want this kind of praise at all.
What’s the use of being handsome?
When they arrived at the manor, as soon as Xiao Qingran got out of the car, the ten elders surrounded her.
"The boss is here!"
"The young boss we've been waiting for is finally here."
"Quicksand is still the same as before, handsome."
quicksand:"……"
This is the word he least wants to hear right now.
Is it ever going to end?
Xiao Qingran remained calm in the face of everyone's enthusiasm.
Arriving at the temporary meeting room, Xiao Qingran took out ten teleportation talismans.
"One for each of you."
The ten people stared at Xiao Qingran's hand with shining eyes. If it weren't for Xiao Qingran, they would not have been able to remain reserved. They almost started to grab it.
Especially the old cow, he wanted to rush up and snatch them all away.
"Wait a minute, those who have paid can take it first, those who haven't paid can take it after they pay."
Gu Gan first took a talisman from Xiao Qingran's hand and carefully placed it, as if it were a treasure, into a red sandalwood box he had brought with him. He closed it and locked it with a combination lock. He glanced at the others with a triumphant look.
"I was the first to pay, so I should get it first. You guys can take your time to line up and get your share!"
Upon hearing this, everyone rushed to take out their mobile phones to transfer money to Xiao Qingran.
So Xiao Qingran's mobile phone text message alert sound kept ringing.
The elder who had transferred the money immediately followed Gu Gan's example and took the initiative to receive one from Xiao Qingran.
After everyone had received the talismans, they were all extremely excited.
Xiao Qingran was speechless for a while. But this was not the most important thing. The main thing was that they were the ones who spent the money and she was the one who received it, but she was not that happy.
"Boss, you keep saying you have something important to tell us. What is it?"
Chen Yi had a feeling that Xiao Qingran wouldn't summon them for no reason. He'd even told them in advance that he had something to announce. These past few days, he'd been wondering if Xiao Qingran was planning something big.
Talking about business, everyone put away their expressions and looked at Xiao Qingran.
Xiao Qingran didn't waste time talking to them and directly told them the decision he had made a long time ago.
"I plan to integrate all the publicly listed companies into a group and then take it public."
"this……"
The ten elders obviously didn't expect that Xiao Qingran was going to announce such a thing.
Everyone was totally pessimistic.
"Boss, you have to think carefully. It's much easier for us to do things in secret. Once we move out in the open, all kinds of trouble will come knocking on our door."
"Yes, boss. This is not something you can do just by talking about it. Don't forget that our underground casinos and nightclubs are the most profitable industries. Once we set up a formal group company and get involved in these industries, there will be no peace."
"Young Boss, you'd better think twice before you act. Boss Chu has considered switching to the open market a few years ago. But the consequences of a failed career change are not something we can afford."
"Boss, no..."
“…”
Xiao Qingran waited until everyone had expressed their opinions before saying with a smile, "I've already considered the issues you're worried about."
Xiao Qingran glanced at the quicksand.
Liusha immediately distributed a dozen copies of information to each person.
While they were looking at the information, Xiao Qingran expressed his thoughts: "Most of the companies I integrated are losing money. It's not that the companies are poorly managed, but that you haven't put your heart and soul into them. There are only three companies that are profitable: Zhengxin Entertainment, Yinye Cinema, and AC Car Dealership. The industries involved in the losing companies include jewelry, clothing, real estate, and agriculture. These industries are very popular nowadays. With just a little operation, they will definitely be no worse than Zhengxin and Yinye. Of course, if these industries want to succeed, they still need to rely on the artists signed by Zhengxin to promote them. Isn't there a saying that goes, "Fat water should be kept in the fields of outsiders?" As long as they are properly operated, the industries on the surface will definitely not be much worse than casinos and nightclubs.
You know, you can't put all your eggs in one basket. Even though Boss Chu has been running those underground operations for decades, they've been running smoothly and haven't been swept away by the anti-gangster campaign, which is lucky. I can't say I'll shut down your casinos and nightclubs just to get out in the open. Even if we don't do it, others will. Regardless, you've painstakingly managed these underground businesses for decades, and no one would be willing to give them up suddenly. I'm not going to be so naive as to completely disregard your feelings."
Having said that, Xiao Qingran saw that everyone was nodding, and it was obvious that they agreed with her analysis.
"So, don't worry about all industries being brought out in the open. Companies that have to spend money every year to plug holes and don't have any potential should be eliminated right away. Another important point is that we need to separate the open and the hidden. There are ten of you now. Gu Lao and Chen Lao are old, and they've both reached retirement age. So, now, the eight of you will discuss among yourselves who will be in the open and who will be in the dark. From now on, even in meetings, you won't be together. Of course, in private, you can do whatever you want, but don't let anyone catch you."
"Boss, do we have to separate?"
The brothers have been together for so many years, and even if we can meet privately in the future, I still feel uncomfortable.
"I'm not making this decision for you. I'm making it for your descendants. So discuss it carefully. Don't regret it after you make it."
Xiao Qingran made this decision after much investigation and consideration.
If their descendants go to school and other children ask them, "What is your family's origin?"
what for.
Xiao Qingran felt that this was the most hurtful thing.
She thought Gu Le must have experienced this kind of social beating when he was a child.
After observing Gu Le for a period of time, she plans to hand over Zhengxin Entertainment and Yinye Cinema to Gu Le.
Let him come out in the open.
