Chapter 233: Leave an Impression
Mr. Rong was very envious. Young people as outstanding as Xu Lingjun were rare in their family circles. He didn't expect Xu Jingyou to be so lucky to pick one up for nothing.
"Then should Lingjun be transferred to the capital?" He felt a little unconvinced in his heart, but he didn't dare to show any sign on his face.
"No need. I can tell from what I've heard just now that Lingjun is very satisfied with his current job. This ranch is indeed suitable for him to develop his talents. There is no need for us to go against his ideas. We just need to provide him with some help, such as giving him more autonomy." Mr. Rong said.
This was only the superficial reason. He did not tell them his deeper thoughts, because even if he told them, they might not understand. The current policy is indeed open, and he has gained the trust of the higher-ups. He has started to contact overseas relations to do some things, but who knows if this situation can be maintained? So it may not be a bad thing to let Xu Lingjun try a brand new path according to his ideas.
Through this meeting tonight, Xu Lingjun left a deep impression on Mr. Rong. Through Mr. Rong, his affairs can be made known to higher-ups, and his position in the ranch will be more secure.
The next day, Xu Jingyou took Xu Lingjun's family to the hotel and asked Song Jiaoying to accompany Li Xiuzhi and the two children to play around. He and Xu Lingjun stayed alone in the room, reviewing their meeting last night.
Mr. Rong's evaluation of Xu Jingyou is very correct. Even though he is so old, he has not made much progress. However, this is said in comparison with Mr. Rong. After all, he has been in the business world for so many years and still has basic vision and judgment.
Xu Jingyou came back last night and lay in bed, recalling this meeting. He clearly felt that Mr. Rong was more interested in Xu Lingjun than himself. This was actually normal. His millions of dollars in assets might seem amazing to others, but in the eyes of Mr. Rong, it was just that.
Mr. Rong was a well-known industrial tycoon in Shanghai back then. After liberation, many of his relatives went abroad. Many of them were doing better than him, and much better. Their assets were much greater than Xu Jingyou's.
They are where they are today thanks to the wealth they brought back from the mainland. With these start-up funds, plus personal abilities and some luck, they were able to build their careers.
Xu Lingjun is quite different. His current achievements are entirely the result of his own efforts from scratch. In just a few years, he was able to control a large ranch with thousands of people from scratch, and also created many promising industries. Such young people are indeed rare among the next generation of their family.
It is only right that Mr. Rong values him. After realizing this, Xu Jingyou has higher and higher expectations for Xu Lingjun, and is more determined to let Xu Lingjun inherit the family business.
"Mr. Rong welcomed me back to invest yesterday. After thinking about it carefully, I was indeed tempted." Xu Jingyou said. He looked down on Mr. Rong's academic qualifications, but he could not deny his ability. Back then in Shanghai, he was the leader of his generation, and now he has gone a step further and can influence the country's major policies.
Mr. Rong has already invited him, so Xu Jingyou must seriously consider it. At the same time, he also thinks this is a good opportunity to persuade Xu Lingjun, "It's just that I don't know much about the situation in China, so Lingjun, you should come and help me!"
"If you don't want to go to the United States, you can stay in the mainland and be responsible for our Xu family's investment in China. We will do whichever projects have good prospects. And you don't have to be tied down. I can let you be fully responsible for these projects."
Xu Lingjun shook his head again. "If you come back to invest now, you will be welcomed everywhere. You also have a relationship with Mr. Rong. Even if you have to spend a fortune to buy horse bones, Mr. Rong will not let you lose money! So these things are easy. I don't need to do anything."
"And I don't want to waste my energy on those bullshit!" Xu Lingjun simply said, "You also said that you have several children in the United States. I believe you know better than me how fierce the competition for family property is among the wealthy families. If I take over the domestic projects, these troubles will come to me. When I think about fighting with these people, I find it boring."
"With this time and energy, I might as well make the ranch better! Now that the ranch has Mr. Rong's approval, it will be much easier to do anything in the future. In just a few years, the ranch's output value will exceed your chemical plant, so why should I waste my time going to your place?"
Xu Jingyou felt a huge sense of frustration. The assets he was so proud of were completely ignored by Xu Lingjun. But the more Xu Lingjun thought so, the more he wanted to hand over his property to Xu Lingjun.
Xu Lingjun's ability has been proven. He is much better than his children in the United States. If the family property is handed over to Xu Lingjun, he will definitely be better than his teacher. But if it is given to other children, the family property may be squandered before he even closes his eyes.
Xu Jingyou was silent for a moment, and finally made up his mind, "When I return to the United States this time, I will have my lawyer redraft a document. From now on, they can only receive a small amount of dividends from the family fund every year, and have no right to interfere in the operation of the company, nor do they have shares. I will hand over the entire company to you, and I guarantee that they will not influence your decision-making; if anyone is not satisfied, I will publish an announcement in the newspaper to sever the father-son relationship and deprive them of their right to dividends. You should be able to agree to this, right?"
Xu Lingjun still shook his head. "What you said is not something that can be done overnight. They will make trouble with you and hire lawyers to sue you. If you want to deal with it properly, it will probably take several years."
"Besides, you are in good health and not too old. It would be better if you are responsible for the investment matters in China. I can help and provide some suggestions." At the end, Xu Lingjun let out a little clue.
Xu Jingyou was born in 2015. He married Shen Shuzhen right after graduation and had Xu Lingjun. He is only in his sixties now, and can still be the helmsman of the family business for a few years.
After a few years, when his energy declines and the domestic investment should bear fruit, he won't have to work too hard at that time. He just needs to grasp the general direction, maintain relationships with those above him, and let the people below take care of the specific matters.
"Oh? If I can handle these things, will you be willing to take over my property?" Xu Jingyou asked hurriedly.
"I plan to settle down on the ranch for the rest of my life! When Qingqing grows up, if he is interested, I will not stop him. Believe in your body, you will definitely be able to wait for that day." Xu Lingjun expressed his thoughts and praised Xu Jingyou by the way.
