Chapter 629: Mrs. Jiang’s Value
On Monday, when summer was approaching, Feng Group made internal adjustments and Cai Ming officially became the custodian of Hurricane Investments.
The two people were relatively harmonious when handing over their work, but from Cai Ming's perspective, he felt that there was a layer of dark cloud over Feng Shirong.
"Mr. Cai, Hurricane Capital will be handed over to you from now on."
"Mr. Feng, you can't say that. I'm just a temporary replacement. To put it bluntly, I'm a housekeeper temporarily arranged by the shareholders. I don't seek credit, but I just hope to avoid mistakes."
When Feng Shirong heard the last eight words, he sighed: "The matter of Takeaway Superman was indeed a mistake in my decision-making."
Cai Ming shook his head: "It's because group buying is too powerful. Alibaba and Tencent can't do anything about it. You don't need to blame yourself too much."
"I never make excuses for my failures. That's the behavior of a weak person."
"yes……"
Cai Ming nodded and thought that he had failed three times since he came back, two investment failures and one wrong decision. It seemed that excuses were not enough.
At this time, Feng Shirong was sitting in the boss chair, looking out the window with a calm gaze, feeling like a hero who was frustrated.
The city before him seemed familiar yet strange to him.
He grew up in this city, so it's familiar.
But later, for overseas investment, he stayed abroad for many years, and those years were the years with the fastest economic development in China, so he felt a sense of unfamiliarity.
The delivery man is an outsider who cannot chant the scriptures, and he feels the same way.
At this moment, the door was pushed open, Duan Ying walked in and put a thermos bucket on the table.
"Honey, I made you some soup."
"Well, let's put it aside for now."
Duan Ying nodded, stepped aside, and looked out the window with Feng Shirong.
Her expression was calm, without too many waves, but in fact she was extremely lost inside.
The company she had high hopes for, Hungry, was defeated by the group buying in a blink of an eye, and it didn't even have the strength to fight back. The shares she and Duan Wenzhao had shrunk drastically, and they got nothing, and even lost their own private money.
But what she could not accept was that Hurricane Investments was no longer managed by her husband.
Think about it, at the beginning of the year, she made a strong comeback, moved into Sheshan Manor, announced Feng Shirong's return, and forced Qin Jingqiu to cut off her own arm to make Qin's real estate independent. How glorious it was.
But in less than half a year, a series of investment failures caused Feng Shirong to lose control of Hurricane Capital, which was equivalent to losing half of the Feng Group.
Then why did she organize a party for the wives and win over those people? She wanted to get involved in Feng's business, and even thought that she would not be worse than Qin Jingqiu, but she did not expect things to develop to this point.
At this time, Cai Ming stood up from his seat and walked to leave: "Mr. Feng, Mrs. Feng is here, so I will leave first."
"Wait a moment."
"What's the matter, Mr. Feng? Is there anything else?"
Feng Shirong pointed to a construction site not far away and asked, "What construction project is that place?"
Cai Ming walked to the French window and took a look: "It's the Pintuan Industrial Park."
“…”
Feng Shirong looked out from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the headquarters building and saw a construction site in the distance. The main building and the park had already been built. The scale looked very large, and he couldn't help but feel curious.
However, the answer given by Cai Ming made him stunned for a moment.
Duan Ying also came over and looked at the construction site, she couldn't help but clench her hands.
Cai Ming pointed and said, "That building in the middle is the headquarters building of Pintuan. It will be completed by the end of the year."
“So large?”
"Pintuan currently has more than 50,000 employees. The news business group, social business group, group buying business group, food delivery business group, supply management department, investment management department, and big data research and development department are all large departments that require a lot of office space. It's not surprising that they are larger in scale."
Hearing Cai Ming's words, Feng Shirong did not react much, but Duan Ying opened his mouth and took a step back involuntarily.
The assets of Internet companies are different from real estate. Sometimes they are invisible to the naked eye, but once they are read out, their hugeness can be seen.
Duan Ying had never been involved in business, and had always felt that running a website and running real estate were not on the same level. But it was not until he saw the scale of the construction site across the street that he realized how wrong he was.
But Feng Shirong's focus is not here.
“Why is the contractor the Wanzhong Group?”
He pointed and saw the six words "Constructed by Wanzhong Group" on top of the completed main building, which were extremely eye-catching.
Cai Ming glanced at him and said, "Don't you know? Mr. Jiang from the group buying group is the second largest shareholder of Wanzhong Group."
"?"
Feng Shirong was stunned for a moment: "No, I have read the information before. Thirty percent of the shares of Wanzhong Group are controlled by a foundation called Jinsinan."
Cai Ming smiled slightly: "That's just a superficial trick. In fact, the Jinsinan Foundation is also owned by Mr. Jiang. He just controls it in this way. He has invested in some well-known brands such as Helilao, Burger King, Green Pepper Grilled Fish, etc. in this way."
"Golden Nan..."
"You guessed correctly. The character 'Nan' should be Miss Feng's name. The largest financial institution under President Jiang's control is named after her."
Cai Ming looked at the building and said, "During the previous group-buying war, many people thought that small-scale buyers did not have the funds to participate in group buying. Later, when the golden nanmu was exposed, it really shocked everyone."
Cai Ming used to be Qin Jingqiu's right-hand man, and he learned this information from Qin Jingqiu.
However, the impact of this news on Feng Shirong was so severe that it took him a long time to process it.
Duan Ying heard the conversation between the two people and looked a little puzzled: "Boss Cai, which Wanzhong Group is it?"
"Qin's Real Estate's project partner, the Wanzhong Mall that you and my wife have been visiting is theirs. The CEO of their group is surnamed He and is from Linchuan."
"Jiang Qin is also in the real estate business?!"
Cai Ming shook his head when he heard this: "Boss Qin said before that Boss Jiang only holds shares and decides on the development direction, and does not participate in daily management."
Feng Shirong turned to look at him: "Is the idea of integrated commercial real estate his?"
"Yes, all the current Wanzhong shopping malls are based on the direction decided by President Jiang, and the planning, layout and investment promotion are also done according to his shopping mall manual."
"Group buying, could it be that Qin's Real Estate is supporting this?"
"I don't know the specific details, but it shouldn't be. When President Qin contacted President Jiang, group buying had already taken shape. When President Qin contacted President Jiang, he probably thought that this comprehensive commercial real estate project was good, so he cooperated with Wanzhong Group."
Duan Ying stood in front of the French window for a long time, and felt something coming towards her face.
Real estate, Internet business, capital institutions, and the construction site in front of him, all of them belonged to Jiang Qin.
And the stepdaughter who had been oppressed by him for so many years is now Mrs. Jiang, whom he repeatedly mentioned in the news.
What about me? I am Mrs. Feng...
But what panicked her was that the value of herself, Mrs. Feng, and Feng Nanshu's Mrs. Jiang seemed to be on completely different levels.
Especially after the Feng family's power was divided, Feng Shirong's power was cut in half, and the value of her as Mrs. Feng became even lower.
This was not her imagination. It was that during the period of playing mahjong, the wives of senior executives and shareholders had obviously shown less respect for her.
She had worked hard for many years to get to her current position, and she simply could not accept this outcome.
"Mr. Feng, please drink your soup. After all, it is a kind gift from Mrs. Feng. I won't bother you anymore."
"Thank you Mr. Cai for answering my questions."
"You're welcome."
Cai Ming smiled, said goodbye, stood up and left the president's office.
Before leaving, he couldn't help but look back at Feng Shirong and let out a sigh in his heart.
The Feng Group was built up by Mr. Feng himself.
At that time, the country’s spring breeze had just blown, and all kinds of businesses flourished but were not at all sluggish, making it easier to do business than it is now.
Old Madam Feng had some official background in the past, and the Feng family had some savings, so it was not surprising that they were able to build up their business.
Because in that era, anyone with a little initial capital could become a millionaire by investing in any industry, otherwise why would there be such a craze for starting a business? Therefore, the Feng Group grew step by step, and it involved more and more industries.
At that time, the Feng Group was completely controlled by old man Feng, and its development was steady. Unfortunately, his two sons did not seem to have business talent.
Feng Shihua was more fascinated by art and had no interest in business, but fortunately his wife was the great Ms. Qin, so when Old Master Feng took Feng Shirong to invest overseas, the Feng Group remained strong.
Feng Shirong is very keen on business and his style is very radical, but although he has the will, he is... somewhat powerless.
Therefore, it is not without reason that the Feng family is in such a mess now.
Cai Ming felt that Feng Shirong still did not understand, or did not comprehend, the domestic development situation.
In the past, when information was not well developed, you could just fence off a piece of land and build a pig farm. When you made money, you would build another pig farm, and wealth would naturally accumulate.
But now that information is well developed, a lot of industry news is open and transparent, business is no longer divided by region, and the trend of nationalization is becoming more and more serious.
Rich businessmen and elites from all over the country have joined the competition. Once a trend emerges, there will be thousands of competitors. In this situation, how can you do business without the strength to fight hard?
In other words, times have changed and the competitive relationship has also changed.
Starting a business is difficult, and maintaining a business is even more difficult.
This is no longer a world where growth will continue as a matter of course as long as you are big.
Cai Ming gently closed the door and planned to go to Shanti Villa to meet Feng Shihua and ask what Hurricane Investment should do.
At this time, Feng Shirong opened the thermos and began to drink the soup silently, while slowly digesting the news in his heart.
"No wonder Joy City has such a hard time attracting investors, no wonder Meals were singled out, no wonder Takeaway Superman went bankrupt and closed down. What he meant by supporting Nan Shu is just a nice statement, but I think he was supporting Qin Jingqiu."
Duan Ying pursed her lips: "My poor daughter, maybe she is just a tool for marriage."
Her hands were clenched tightly as she spoke.
There was no other way, she could only say this, could only say this...
The group buying was too big, so big that it was like a thunderclap exploding in her ears after she heard it just now. So she couldn't let Feng Nanshu become Mrs. Jiang, otherwise she didn't know what would become of her.
Jiang Qin was too cruel. Just look at how he attacked her during dinner. She couldn't take any chances.
Feng Shirong looked at her without saying anything, then lowered his head and drank the soup slowly.
Duan Ying turned her head to look at the huge construction site outside the window, and could still feel a sense of oppression that made it difficult for her to calm down.
