In such a big family, if you can get the appreciation of the old man, the benefits will be so great that outsiders can't imagine it.
Even though the old man is 95 years old, he still controls the behemoth Longtian Supermarket Group.
Even if it is Long Aotian, the eldest son who has taken over the chairmanship of Longtian Supermarket Group, all he needs to do is say a word and Long Aotian will obediently hand over the chairmanship!
No way, the top and bottom management of this group were all promoted by the old man. As for the other directors on the board of directors, they all followed the old man's lead.
In this case, it is reasonable for the old man to be so arrogant.
It can be said that if any of these children and grandchildren find a birthday gift that makes the old man happy, then in the family business, even if they get ahead, their positions will be promoted, and their share dividends will all increase!
But whether in society or in a family, most of the time they follow one rule: the strong will always be strong, and the weak will always be weak!
This kind of thing is not surprising. Children and grandchildren who are more favored in the family will naturally be more likely to obtain higher-level positions in the family business.
The emperor loves his eldest son, and the people love their youngest son.
In the Long family, Mr. Long's favorites are naturally his eldest son Long Aotian and his eldest grandson Long Wei.
However, such a huge family business cannot be completely occupied by the eldest son and grandson. There are still many high-level positions waiting for the descendants to fight for.
But here comes the problem. In this birthday banquet, it will naturally be easier for descendants with money and status to find a birthday gift that satisfies Mr. Long!
As for third-generation people like Long Yunze, they have some money, but it is just more than ordinary people. For a deputy in a supermarket, no one even looks at him when he walks outside.
How can you find a birthday gift that satisfies your heart and soul?
As for his father Long Aurui, the birthday gifts he found were not very good, let alone helping his sons and daughters find them.
Besides, even if you find a good birthday gift, it is only the luck of the eldest son and has little to do with the other siblings.
No way, there are only so many resources, and it’s impossible to get even rain and dew.
Long Yunze saw a flower-and-bird painting by the famous painter Zhao Xunqi at an auction.
You must know that Mr. Long loves three things most in his life.
Tea, painting, chess.
Therefore, children and grandchildren look for birthday gifts based on these three things.
Needless to say about tea, the eldest son and grandson order top-quality snow tea from the most famous Black Rock Mountain in China every year.
This top-quality snowflake tea is the most high-end tea in China.
In the entire Longtian Group, there are only three people who have the qualifications and status to order top-quality snow tea.
Mr. Long, the eldest son and grandson.
Of course, Mr. Long himself would not order top-quality snow tea. He would just give this opportunity to honor himself to his eldest son and grandson.
Therefore, other descendants can only start from two aspects: painting and chess.
Naturally, a third generation like Long Yunze cannot be compared with the second generation of his uncles. He can only be compared with the other three generations.
But the problem is that many of the three generations are focusing on chess equipment this year, such as gold-inlaid jade chess pieces, chessboards, white marble chessboards formed with natural lines, etc. The value of these things is so high that he can't help but be speechless.
With his financial resources, he could only compete for paintings at ordinary auctions.
But last time, the flower and bird paintings by the well-known painter Zhao Xunqi were sold at an unexpectedly high price at the auction.
No way, he was not the only one staring at this painting, there were also his third and fourth cousins and several cousins.
These cousins were much better off than him, so in terms of financial resources, he couldn't compare with them at all.
The painting failed to be auctioned, and it takes time to find other birthday gifts again. Grandpa’s birthday is tomorrow!
This gave Long Yunze a headache.
When he got home and picked up the express delivery, he sat on the sofa and watched the variety show on TV, with a sad face and no joy at all.
If grandpa's birthday this time is not appreciated by the old man, when the old man passes away, the best outcome for him will probably be to be kicked out of the family business, and then he will survive on the little money distributed by the family fund every year.
Oh, what should I do?
When Long Yunze had a headache, his son Long Xiaoming, who was in junior high school, came back with a schoolbag on his back: "Dad, what kind of express delivery is this? Is it an umbrella?"
Long Xiaoming's interruption caused Long Yunze to divert his attention: "It seems to be a painting?"
At this time, Long Yunze didn't think the paintings sent by Fang Xiaoyue's live broadcast room were very valuable, but it was still someone's sincerity, so he opened the express delivery.
But after taking it apart, he felt something was not right.
After all, he is a descendant of the Long family. Although he is doing poorly now, he has been influenced by his grandfather since he was a child, and he still has a little eye for painting.
When I watched paintings in the live broadcast room before, because Fang Xiaoyue’s camera had poor pixels, it looked just average.
But now that I have received the actual object and opened it, the painting feels different when I see it with my own eyes.
Of course, Long Yunze's vision was just like that. He only felt that the painting looked good, but he couldn't understand what was so good about it.
When he thought that tomorrow was his grandfather's 95th birthday and he couldn't find a suitable birthday gift, his mind became excited.
I can’t find a good birthday gift anyway, so how about using this painting as a birthday gift?
Even if I don't get the old man's appreciation, I won't lose much. Anyway, I didn't spend any money to get this thing.
Thinking of this, Long Yunze immediately sent his son to eat, while he carefully rewrapped the painting and took it out.
His wife called several times and asked him why he didn't eat, but he didn't hear her.
It would definitely not work if the painting was sent directly as a birthday gift.
Rich families are very particular about painting.
At least the painting must be framed before it can be used.
Otherwise, it will be like this unframed painting, and when it comes to the birthday banquet, it will be difficult to show it to other brothers and sisters to laugh to death.
Long Yunze has a good friend who specializes in calligraphy, painting, paper and ink business. For example, if you want to frame paintings or something, he is the right person to turn to.
When he arrived at the antique street, Long Yunze went to Gufeng Wenmoxuan.
Gufeng Wenmoxuan was opened by his friend.
After receiving his call, his friend who had been waiting at Gufeng Wenmoxuan welcomed him in with a big smile.
After all, friends like this who are not based on interests do not value his status.
"Yunze, take out the painting you got. I'll take care of the eyes first."
My friend had helped Long Yunze look for paintings before, and he also knew that Long Yunze's eyesight was average. There had been cases of buying fake paintings through eye-catching before.
And he also knew that Long Yunze's grandfather would celebrate his 95th birthday tomorrow, and he didn't believe that Long Yunze could find a good painting.
