"After the incident involving Zhuoxiu Group's own murder, Li Zhuoxiu reconciled with senior executive Zhang Zhiyao. It is reported that Zhang Zhiyao has quietly resigned and is currently working at the state-owned enterprise Yuecheng Tiantie Group Co., Ltd. as director of the strategic planning department."
"Yuecheng Skytrain is a large state-owned enterprise wholly owned by the Yuecheng government. It is responsible for the engineering construction, operation management and ancillary resource development and management of the Yuecheng rail transit system."
"Does the departure of the top secretariat mean that Li Zhuoxiu has lost power? When the old state-owned Tiantie Group adds new positions, what kind of overall industrial situation do you hope to create?"
"The four veterans of Zhuoxiu Group apologized to all directors for the decline in performance and publicly announced salary reductions. Among them, Shi Yuan, in addition to salary reductions, voluntarily offered to give up last year's year-end bonus, and his income dropped by as much as 96%. In the cold wave, the four kings I remain loyal to Li Zhuoxiu."
"According to incomplete statistics from Yuecheng Finance and Real Estate Sector, a total of 554 real estate executives had their positions changed throughout last year. In the first and second quarters, there were 179 and 170 people respectively, and in the third and fourth quarters, there were 101 and 104 people respectively. "
"Due to age, physical reasons, or due to company business adjustments, the top leaders in the real estate industry ushered in a wave of retirements throughout last year. The CEOs of six real estate groups were relieved of their duties. What is more noteworthy is that Li Zhuoxiu is very likely to retire due to physical reasons. Give up actual control of Zhuoxiu Group this year. Who will be the successor? We will wait and see."
Under Yuecheng Finance, here are the comments from industry insiders:
"Absurd. I really don't know why house prices have increased in recent years... No one has done research and development. The building design and garden design of new projects now are not even as good as ten years ago."
"I used to think, 'When a whale falls, everything comes to life.' If people don't buy houses, they will have money for other consumption. But now, when a whale falls, nothing comes to life, consumption has completely degraded, and everyone has no money in their pockets. Money. What? Where did the money go?"
"Only when the real whale has fallen can all things survive. This shows that the real whale has not yet fallen."
"Whether the whale falls or not, nothing survives. A huge amount of wealth has been cashed out, leaving only the shell of the whale. Everything was doomed when the boom started in 2015."
"A market that could have been running smoothly has become overdrafted. There is no way."
"Is this the underground? Maybe there's a basement."
…
Shen Zhiyan finally made an appointment with Jun Ziyi, and the two chose a place close to her home to have dinner.
"You know, I still have to go home to take care of Shuping." Jun Ziyi said apologetically.
Shen Zhiyan endured it again and again, so he didn't ridicule Jun Ziyi, a top-notch love braintalk.
In his opinion, it was unbelievable that a smart woman like Jun Ziyi could be tied up by such a marriage and such a scumbag.
Especially, Jun Ziyi doesn’t want Lin Shuping’s company!
So Shen Zhiyan mentally labeled Jun Ziyi: the top love brain.
Jun Ziyi ordered the food and passed the menu to Shen Zhiyan. Shen Zhiyan noticed that the dishes she ordered were all his favorites, and he suddenly felt relieved again. He raised his eyes and met Jun Ziyi's gaze.
Jun Ziyi smiled at him.
While eating, Jun Ziyi asked Shen Zhiyan about the group's trends and future plans.
Shen Zhiyan casually mentioned: "Li Zhuoxiu recently arranged for his eldest daughter Li Yuan to go on a business trip to Xiushui City to inspect a piece of land there. The land is in the hands of Xiushui Steel Group in Xiushui City, and the asking price is not high. Li Zhuoxiu contacted the party personally."
Jun Ziyi was startled: "House prices in Xiushui City have soared so high. Are there still low-priced places?"
Shen Zhiyan lowered his voice: "The land used for heavy industry is polluted. I heard it is a poisonous land."
Jun Ziyi frowned: "Using poisonous land to build housing? Does the old president lack the money?"
Shen Zhiyan saw clearly: "Without a new big revenue project, how can the old president promote the middle management? If the middle management cannot be promoted, how can the senior management be replaced?"
Jun Ziyi said: "The old president paved the way for three children."
Shen Zhiyan paused and said harshly: "To be honest, this kind of second generation is not very ruthless, they are just young. After Li Zhuoxiu dies, Shi Yuan will not be able to deceive them all?"
Jun Ziyi pondered for a moment, then said after careful consideration: "The old president is dead and Zhuoxiu Group falls into Shi Yuan's hands. This is actually the best outcome."
Shen Zhiyan said: "How to say it."
Jun Ziyi said: "In the 1990s, Zhuoxiu Group's transformation was hasty, and Li Zhuoxiu's personal holdings were extremely low. Now, although Li Zhuoxiu has absolute say, from a capital perspective, her equity is not strong."
Shen Zhiyan said: "Why has Li Zhuoxiu not reformed after so many years?"
Jun Ziyi said: "Because Li Zhuoxiu is unwilling to trust senior executives, he is also constrained by senior executives."
Shen Zhiyan said: "I understand. After Li Zhuoxiu dies, once the equity is split among the three children, external capital will inevitably invade, and Zhuoxiu Group will eventually fall by the wayside. From an employee's point of view, it would be better for Zhuoxiu Group to be left to others. In Shi Yuan’s hands, at least he is one of our own.”
Jun Ziyi paused and said calmly: "It's not necessarily Shi Yuan."
Shen Zhiyan ignored her words: "Time is a river, no matter how strong a person is, he will die. When a whale falls, all things will live. When Li Zhuoxiu dies, who does the Zhuoxiu Group belong to?"
…
Li Zhuoxiu threw the papers and notebooks on the table at Shi Yuan: "Even if I die, Zhuoxiu Group will still be called Zhuoxiu!"
Shi Yuan did not resist or retreat. He was still sitting steadily opposite Li Zhuoxiu and patiently persuaded: "Old president, as long as you are willing to accept the reform of the ownership structure and divide the shares and rights, Zhuoxiu Group will always be called Zhuoxiu in the future."
Li Zhuoxiu sneered: "In the future? After what? After I die?"
Next to Shi Yuan, there were three other regional presidents sitting.
These four people are the veterans who followed Li Zhuoxiu to build the Zhuoxiu Group in the early years.
The four of them said nothing.
Li Zhuoxiu stared at Shi Yuan, his chest rising and falling like a bellows. She turned pale, and after being silent for a while, she smiled.
"I raised you wolf cubs with my own hands." She said slowly, "Okay, okay. I raised you and you have full wings, and now you want to betray me and get involved in my Zhuoxiu Group——"
Shi Yuan interrupted Li Zhuoxiu.
"It's not about raising." His voice was still calm and restrained, and his narrow eyes looked at Li Zhuoxiu sternly, "It's about cooperation. We are your subordinates, not your slaves. In a business society, loyalty is also business. We ask ourselves to be loyal to you. So I hope you can give us corresponding rewards.”
Another regional president said calmly: "Old president, all we want is guarantee. With guarantee, we will win-win with Zhuoxiu Group from now on."
Another regional president also said: "The four of us voluntarily cut our salaries! Isn't this sincerity enough? We are willing to advance and retreat together with the group! But we also hope that the group can give us this opportunity!" He pressed his heart hard, "Old man President, I have been following you since I was discharged from the army! In the 1990s, I served you when dealing with tough people who didn’t want to be laid off, and later when dealing with hard-core households! It’s been so many years! If you don’t trust others, don’t you trust me? "
Li Zhuoxiu turned his attention to the woman among the four: "Zhao Mei, tell me, how do I treat you? Are you going to betray me?"
Zhao Mei said gently: "Old President, I am thinking about Zhuoxiu's future. Resetting the shareholding structure is the only way for the company to formalize. President Li Yuan, President Hongzhou, and President Li Sheng are all Good kids, but at their age, they do not have enough ability to deal with the intrigues in the shopping mall. Moreover, the equity structure of Zhuoxiu Group is inherently unreasonable and there is a risk of splitting. We are a win-win situation when we implement equity reform. We are like yours As children, you can trust our loyalty and it’s better for everyone.”
Li Zhuoxiu smiled brightly: "I haven't died yet, and you are already thinking about dismantling my company? I tell you clearly, it is impossible. Without me, Li Zhuoxiu, Zhuoxiu Group cannot be built! Do you think those old thieves in the business district Whose face is the seller? It’s me! Who negotiated the project? It’s me! Who has the authority in the hearts of home buyers? It’s me! Not you!”
Shi Yuan said calmly: "Old CEO, you still have veto power over us. The reform of the shareholding structure will not affect your authority, let alone the positions of your three children on the board of directors. You leave no room for anything, and Why bother?"
Li Zhuoxiu chuckled twice: "You think you can control me? I tell you, don't even think about it. The four of you can become regional presidents because of the dividends of the times, the favorable policies, and following me as your boss. It’s not your fault!”
Shi Yuan said calmly: "You didn't defeat the Zhuoxiu Group with your bare hands."
Li Zhuoxiu stared at him.
Shi Yuan's voice remained steady: "If it hadn't been for the restructuring of state-owned enterprises in the 1980s and 1990s, you wouldn't have been able to turn state-owned assets into private entities. You relied on your good father, imperfect laws, and the foundation of state-owned assets."
In 1984, the Company Law had not yet been promulgated. When Li Zhuoxiu runs a company, it must be under the name of a state-owned enterprise. Taking advantage of the restructuring of state-owned enterprises, she turned state-owned assets into private entities through a series of operations. But this operation was shady. Li Zhuoxiu only took 4% of the shares and pretended that the company was still a state-owned enterprise.
Decades have passed, and the family history of Li Zhuoxiu has long been concealed in the inspirational story of starting from scratch. However, due to some combination of circumstances, the equity has never been reformed.
Of course, the real experience of making a fortune will not appear in Li Zhuoxiu's story. She will only promote her hard work.
Li Zhuoxiu was furious.
She pointed at the door coldly and said, "Get out."
Shi Yuan smiled slightly and stood up: "Think about it again."
Li Zhuoxiu said angrily: "If you say anything more, I will sign a dismissal order and show you how many middle-level managers are waiting to take your position. Even if it is a dog, if I take it as a regional president, it can still do it. It can be done just as well!”
The four people have been insulted by Li Zhuoxiu for many years and have become accustomed to it. Now they are compared to dogs, and there is no trouble on their faces.
The four people exited one after another, and Li Zhuoxiu roared: "I won't die so easily!"
The door closed softly.
Li Zhuoxiu stroked his chest and his face quickly returned to calm, showing no sign of anger at all.
She stared at the door, thought for a long time, and let out a slow breath.
"How can I make you believe that I'm being manipulated if I don't pretend to be angry?" She sneered and said to herself.
"Zhang Zhiyao." She shouted and ordered, "Now, immediately, prepare my plane to fly to Xiushui City."
As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that Zhang Zhiyao had already changed jobs.
Li Zhuoxiu sneered: "One or two of them will betray me." She gritted her teeth, stood up, walked into the CEO suite, lay down on the bed exhausted, and fell asleep in a moment.
