Chapter 8 Ambition
The smoke fluttered in the living room. Looking at his calm and composed son, Chen Zhengguo was surprised and couldn't help but feel deeply troubled by Chen Hongtao's willful behavior.
Chen Hongtao has been famous for his idea since childhood. Once he has determined something, he can't even pull it back. Chen Zhengguo has a very good understanding of his son's bold personality.
However, Chen Zhengguo was angry, as a father, he was still thinking about his son's statement.
Although Chen Hongtao did not talk about it and put forward any major reasons, what he said was the truth, which could make Chen Zhengguo accept it.
Just half a year ago when Chen Hongtao got married, Chen Zhengguo, who became his father-in-law, was so happy that he couldn't stop talking about it, but he didn't expect that he hadn't been happy for so long that the kid had put on himself "eye discards" so quickly.
Because of Chen Hongtao's early marriage, Chen Zhengguo has been teased by his friends many times in the past six months.
The national legal marriage age requires a man to be twenty-two years old and a woman to be twenty years old. Chen Hongtao and Wang Jinlan are both twenty years old at this time. Strictly speaking, registration is not allowed. However, with the efforts of the two old men of Chen and Wang family, the two held a wedding and obtained a marriage certificate.
Speaking of which, this is not a big deal. At this time, there are many people who get married early and get married on the 18th or 19th, especially in rural areas.
The management in this regard is not very strict. The Chen family, which has the tradition of early marriage and early childbirth, just say hello casually, but there is no big banquet, and it is just a low-key banquet for relatives to have a meal.
However, at this time, Chen Zhengguo realized that letting his son get married too early may not be a good thing.
The son is already married, and he has a wife and daughter-in-law. Chen Zhengguo naturally needs to pay attention. If it were normal, even if Chen Zhengguo's temper did not adopt force education to Chen Hongtao, he would have slapped the table long ago.
After not speaking for a long time, Chen Zhengguo and Guan Jingxiang and his wife thought about their son's statement seriously.
As the saying goes, a forced melon is not sweet. With Chen Hongtao's bold and arbitrary personality, if he is forced to push him into the officialdom, it may not be worry-free!
However, at this critical moment, the couple had to consider the family's view on this matter, especially when their son still had to take over Mingzhu Group.
The Mingzhu Group was changed to be under the name of his brother-in-law He Liangbo, which was basically decided by the couple, but it has not been formally handed over yet.
I believe that at this time it was not only Chen Hongtao's sister-in-law's family, but also the entire Chen family, who were looking forward to this matter.
Unlike Chen Zhengguo's simple idea, Guan Jingxiang has considered it more. It is very important that the real ownership cannot be changed when handing over Mingzhu Group. The old man has made a promise in this regard. Guan Jingxiang still trusts the old man.
Knowing that the ownership of Mingzhu Group would be lost, Guan Jingxiang still agreed with this. There are many factors in it. The Mingzhu Group was able to develop to this point, which is inseparable from the support of the Chen family. Even the couple can develop smoothly in the military and political aspects. They rely on the political resources of the Chen family to help the family at this time, which can be regarded as repaying the kindness of the Chen family.
What's more, Chen Hongtao is also facing graduation assignments, and the family of three cannot do without the political support of the old Chen family. At this time, it is best to sacrifice some interests and be happy.
Even Guan Jingxiang thought of Hualan Trading, the in-laws, and even if Mingzhu Group is really gone, the economic foundation of Hualan Trading can rely on, and it will not have a devastating impact on its own economic foundation.
Unfortunately, Guan Jingxiang thought of the first day of the year, but she did not expect that at this time, after Chen Hongtao and Wang Jinlan had maintained a marriage relationship for ten years in the last life, Chen Hongtao would file for divorce and did not ask for a penny.
Although the Chinese people had realized the importance of money at this time, few people could predict the ever-changing changes of the country over the past 20 years. Even if there were, they were all kinds of fantasies now.
If Guan Jingxiang could see the future wave of rapid development of commercial capital and the era of luxury, she would probably not agree even if she forced her to hand over Mingzhu Group.
"Mom, Mingzhu Group is very important! It is the foundation of our family. Without it, our family will lose all its support. The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. Although people can come together because of blood, like-mindedness, friendship, and love, they have to admit that having common interests can make each other more harmonious. If you want to do something, you must control important chips in your hands. Without Mingzhu Group, who will remember our family? I am not against helping the entire family financially, but if you ask for it, how can you compare with others?" After speaking, Chen Hongtao's eyes calmly looked at his parents, who looked surprised in the living room, and his wife looked at him with a faint smile on his face.
Chen Zhengguo and Guan Jingxiang looked at each other, and both of them could sense each other's moods.
However, among the three, the one who was most surprised was Wang Jinlan. Although the matter of the Chen family was not convenient for her to interrupt, Wang Jinlan, who had been paying much attention to Chen Hongtao after he woke up from the accident, found that her nominal husband was really different from the past.
"Mom, you want to hand over the ownership of Mingzhu Group because the operating conditions of the entire group are not optimistic, right?" Chen Hongtao was very confident and directly hit the most fundamental problem of Mingzhu Group.
"Mom has not been concerned about Mingzhu Group's affairs in recent years, especially when your aunt Qin left the company, which has even worsened the difficulty of operating the entire group. The current situation of the group company is far less than what the outside world imagines." Guan Jingxiang sighed, looking a little embarrassed.
After all, there is nothing to be proud of when I reveal my shortcomings in front of my son and daughter-in-law.
Feeling Wang Jinlan's secretly cast eyes, Chen Hongtao pondered slightly: "It's not just Mingzhu Group, but even Hualan's trading situation is probably the same. In May, the country introduced a policy, which just gave Chen and Wang the excuse to stop supporting the two group companies. After all, no one will spend a lot of effort to support other people's children! If our family continues to control Mingzhu Group, I believe that the entire group will be difficult to get the support of the family in the future. Even if you are father and mother, you can have some relationships. The foundation of such a large group is there, how can you afford to support one or two pieces of "quota and approval"! Only by handing over the entire group can everyone be happy. If you keep it, you will probably be ruined in the end. Not only your father, you think so, but everyone else thinks so, right?"
Hearing his son's words, Chen Zhengguo's eyes showed a strange look, but he did not make a sound.
Although it would be a bit unpleasant to force the palace, the huge Mingzhu Group wanted to survive. Even Guan Jingxiang, who was not good at operating, felt the pressure from the Chen family to stop supporting Mingzhu Group.
"Son, do you have any ideas to solve the current situation of the group?" Guan Jingxiang did not reveal her expectations, but asked her son calmly, which was more like a test for Chen Hongtao.
Although he spoiled his son, Guan Jingxiang, a department-level leading cadre, is an extraordinary woman, and she will not be completely impressed by her son's words.
"Eight words: increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and innovate business. The planned economy will sooner or later be abandoned. Working hard to operate and innovate, and actively participating in market competition is the foundation for the company to become bigger and stronger. At present, the domestic economy and business foundation are still very weak, which is far from the economically developed Western countries in Europe and the United States. At least in my opinion, there are still many things to learn from in the economy of Western countries that can be so strong. Whether it is politics or business, don't worry about the gains and losses of a city and a pool. If you should give up what you should give up, you should look farther away." If Chen Hongtao spoke to his parents and his wife, there was a trace of vicissitudes in his eyes that were not consistent with his age.
Although Chen Hongtao said it well, he has great ambitions for politics and business in his bones, but he has already set his sights abroad. It has to be said that the current domestic policies and environment have many limitations for business development, and it is still very difficult to show off his strengths in China.
Although he does not work in politics, he can rely on his strong economic influence to influence the changes in the international political landscape. This is what Chen Hongtao pursues in his heart.
The huge red empire close to China has gradually shown its end of its twilight journey. Although it is still a while before the "disintegration", in Chen Hongtao's eyes, the sunset of the red empire is not limited to giving parents the opportunity to gain political capital in the country. The substantial political and economic benefits will gradually appear in the next two or three years.
Maybe no one would believe it at this time, but when the Red Empire collapses and is separated, as long as the layout and management is done properly, it is not impossible to control the authority of the Kremlin, the Ministry of Defense, the Far East Military Region, and the National Security Council.
Compared with such huge political investment opportunities, Chen Zhengguo, who is currently in China and is only a military chief at the level of the division, seems a little lacking in view.
