"Thanks to you, he has fully recovered. After the New Year, I will ask you to teach him." Chen Huaixiu replied with a smile.
"What a coincidence! Yufeng Primary School starts recruiting students at the beginning of the year. My two apprentices have already signed up for school. Why don't we let Xiao Teng go to school as well so they can keep each other company?"
"That's great. Xiao Teng is a bit of a loner and has no playmates on the island. It would be great for him to study with your students." Chen Huaixiu was very happy to hear this and went into the room chatting and laughing with Zhao Hao.
Yu Shensi followed behind with grievance, his sensitive and delicate little heart suffered 10,000 points of critical hit.
The two elders Niu and Ma looked at each other and thought, could it be that Young Master Zhao was going to take Young Master Teng as a hostage?
I hope not.
Because even if it was, they couldn't do anything about it. Jiangnan Group and the Sand Ship Gang were already deeply bound together and blended into one.
In fact, there is only Chongming Shipping Company now, but no Sand Ship Gang.
When Master Teng grows up, it is still unclear whether he will be the leader of the gang...
The two could not tell whether these changes were good or bad. Since they had chosen this path, they had no choice but to go all the way.
On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the weather is sunny and
At the entrance of the Jiangnan Guest House, flags fluttered and a red carpet was laid out. On both sides of the red carpet, colorful flowers were placed, competing for splendor in this cold winter.
The first group meeting of Jiangnan Group was held here.
The 46 group executives who attended the meeting, as well as Zhao Shouye and Wu Chengen who were present as observers, all dressed up and rushed to the meeting from various parts of the Guest House on time.
Only Xu Wei was still unkempt and slovenly. But Zhao Hao just liked him, so he could only forgive him for his uninhibited and free-spirited life...
When entering the door, each person received a white magnolia and an exquisite wooden box.
Xu Wei also received a copy and opened it on the spot. Inside the wooden box was a pure gold conference commemorative medal and a gold-embossed conference manual.
"I just love these fancy things." Xu Wenchang pinned the white jade flower to his temples, tucked the wooden box under his armpit, and played with the beautifully shaped commemorative medal.
"If you don't want it, give it to me." Wu Chengen sneered. He knew his wife liked it. According to the young master's style of speaking, it can be called a "medal addiction".
"What's mine is yours." Xu Wei hid it in his arms, saying something disrespectful but acting justly.
When you enter the auditorium, you will see an oval mahogany conference table in the spacious and bright hall, and three rows of long conference tables around it.
On the north wall of the hall, there was a row of vertical plaques covered with red silk. In the hollow of the circular conference table, there were clusters of flowers, and on the table were nameplates carved from sandalwood, each with a name outlined in gold pen.
There is no need for everyone to push and shove, just take a seat according to your name.
In the corner of the hall stood a table clock that was more than a meter tall. The meeting started at nine o'clock, and at eight-fifty, everyone had arrived. Only the board members had not yet appeared.
Among the senior executives of the group present, there were many big men like Xu Bangrui, Lu Kuang, and Gu Dashou, who could shake the Jiangnan area with just a stomp of their feet. However, everyone was infected by the atmosphere of the meeting. They sat upright and waited quietly for the arrival of the board members. No one whispered to each other.
At 8:58, Zhao Hao and Hua Bozhen supported Chairman Hua and walked out from behind the screen. Jiang Xueying followed behind Zhao Hao, Wang Mengxiang and Wang Shimao were slightly behind President Jiang by half a body length, and Secretary Yu Ben was the last.
Everyone stood up at the same time and welcomed the board members with warm applause.
Hua Cha, looking old and frail, bowed to everyone. When he sat down, he glanced at the table, reached out his hand, picked up the nameplate with his name in the middle, and exchanged it with Zhao Hao's nameplate on his left.
Zhao Hao declined, but Grand Tutor Hua waved his hand and said with a smile, "We are all family here. If I continue to sit in the main seat, won't those people below laugh at me for being old and confused?"
Lu Kuang, Gu Dashou and others laughed in response, and Zhao Hao stopped refusing and sat down in the middle seat, with Hua Cha and Jiang Xueying sitting on the left and right. Next came the two kings, and finally Hua Bozhen and Yu Ben also sat down, and the rest of them sat down again.
Ding, ding... At the sound of the hour, Hua Bozhen, who was hosting the meeting, loudly announced that the first group meeting of Jiangnan Group had officially begun!
Everyone responded with warm applause again, drowning out the clear sound of the bell.
After the applause, Hua Bozhen announced the first item of the meeting: Jiangnan Company was officially renamed Jiangnan Investment Group! Chairman Hua and Mr. Zhao were invited to unveil the group.
Zhao Hao and Hua Cha took down the red silk covering the highest plaque leaning against the north wall. On a brass nameplate measuring eight feet eight inches long and one foot eight inches wide, the six powerful and vigorous characters "Jiangnan Investment Group" written by Wang Shizhen, the leader of the literary world, came into view, and naturally there was another round of warm applause.
The second item of the meeting was the awarding of plaques to the companies under the group. The heads of all the companies came forward one by one and together with Master Zhao unveiled twelve brass plaques of six feet six in length and one foot two in width for their own companies. After they were unveiled one by one, the whole hall was glittering with golden splendor.

After the chairmen of the fifteen subsidiaries were seated, the meeting proceeded to the third item, where Jiang Xueying, president of Jiangnan Investment, gave the group's annual summary report.
The entire group had already witnessed how powerful this little girl was, and they were even more afraid of her than Young Master Zhao.
After all, Zhao Hao is a man who only cares about the big things and ignores the small things, or is careless and doesn't ask about the details. But this CEO Jiang is different. She has a keen eye for everything. When it comes to the ins and outs of business, no one here can match her.
However, the group had just been in operation for half a year, and Jiang Xueying spoke concisely and to the point. In less than half an hour, she gave the participants a summary of the group's development over the past six months.
Although President Jiang's summary was short, it was still shocking. Who could have imagined that this company, which was only established in early June this year, would grow into such a giant in just half a year?
Although most of the companies have only built their skeletons at present, everyone firmly believes that as long as they have the wise leadership of Mr. Zhao, these companies will soon grow and become stronger!
Being in such a group and holding an important position, it is hard not to have a sense of being in history and creating history.
In the Ming Dynasty, a society that was already on the verge of solidification, the emergence of such a vibrant new life, and the fact that they were participating in it, how could people not be excited?
Xu Wei and Wu Cheng'en, who were sitting in the corner, looked at each other and were both shocked.
This kid is too much of a troublemaker, isn't he? If he keeps tinkering around for a few more years, what kind of terrifying monster will Jiangnan Company become? Is it a blessing or a curse for Ming Dynasty?
Wu Cheng'en was somewhat worried, but Xu Wei's face, which had always been uninterested, now showed an excited expression.
This was the kind of palpitations he had never experienced even when he was the chief military advisor in Hu Ruzhen's court... Unfortunately, he was too pretentious, and Zhao Hao refused to work in the Jiangnan Company several times when he was invited to do so.
With such a great career, I am just a spectator?
The lonely painter finally realized what it meant to pretend to be Boyi too much and get struck by lightning.
Amidst the warm applause of the participants, Hua Bozhen announced that the fourth item of the meeting would be to invite Mr. Zhao to deliver an important speech.
Then the applause became even louder and lasted longer.
Zhao Hao stood up and raised his hands several times to suppress the applause from the crowd.
He looked around the hall, seeing the faces that were either familiar or ones he had only seen a few times, and his heart was also filled with emotion.
Although he had successfully founded a large company in Beijing, the last time was full of opportunism and was too dependent on resources... Just like the coal bosses four hundred years later who are worth billions or hundreds of billions, there is still not much to praise, nor can they create much wealth for society, let alone change the world.
But this time it was different. Jiangnan Group was a completely different company from the beginning. It might not make as much money as Xishan Company, but it was a company that could change the world!
Thinking of this, Zhao Hao let out a long sigh and calmed his pounding heart.
The meeting place fell silent at this time, and everyone looked at their young guide with admiration.
ps. There is one more...
