The old man has been abroad these years, and almost every year the elders' meeting is represented by someone else. Before Su Qin came back, if there was a matter about the tomb keeper, then Representative Han would attend, and if it was a group matter, then Representative Huang Wenzhu would attend. .
Now that Su Qin is back, he has been replaced by Su Qin's plenipotentiary representative. They also understand that the old man means to let Su Qin get in touch with family affairs in advance, paving the way for Su Qin to successfully take over the position of patriarch in the future.
Although Mr. Han and Mr. Huang Wenzhu were present in the past, the old man suddenly showed up several times and participated in the final decision via remote video. Of course, many times he only showed up when things were in a stalemate. Most things were not resolved. It was the old man who arranged it.
I remember that the last time the old man suddenly appeared was three years ago, so everyone was a little confused when the TV was suddenly turned on, but when they saw the old man appearing inside, they understood what was going on. It is estimated that what happened today , the old man all gathered around to witness it.
Others didn't care. Only Su Jinke, who danced the most happily at the beginning, suddenly panicked after seeing the old man. If the final personnel changes were to be handled according to this rating list, then Su Jinke wouldn't care even if he saw the old man.
But now this rating result is just a pure rating result, not the final list of personnel changes. So Su Jinke felt that being so violent just now would only make the old man disgusted with him even more, so he felt panicked.
In order to make up for his mistake, Su Jinke stood up first and shouted respectfully: "Clan leader."
After everyone else came to their senses, they all stood up and faced the TV and shouted, "Chief."
Su Qin just sat on the TV and enjoyed the joy of being the patriarch.
Su Qin wisely stood up and moved his chair away from the main seat, moving to the side so that everyone could communicate directly with Grandpa.
The old man on TV was serious and had a very strong aura. He waved his hand and said, "Everyone, sit down."
Everyone knows the old man's skills, otherwise how could he have come to power back then? The turmoil that time was the biggest turmoil in the Su family in the past two hundred years. The power of the previous patriarch was purged, and the entire Presbyterian Church underwent a major blood change. Many branches disappeared from the scene, and how many Relevant forces were implicated and eventually collapsed.
Of course, these side clans here are the main force, but if the old man does not have support from other aspects, how can he be the opponent of the previous clan leader?
Therefore, no matter how dissatisfied with the old man, no one dares to lift the table easily. Unless the old man dies, this is an option. Otherwise, they all have to behave like grandsons. You can accept what the old man rewards you. Stay here, you have to endure whatever the old man won’t give you.
The old man was the only one on the TV screen. Lan Hai had wisely avoided the direction of the video. The old man looked at everyone and said, "Just now, Su Qin has said what needs to be said on my behalf. The current situation is changing rapidly. The domestic and foreign economies are The general environment is in a downward trend, and the Su family must prepare for a rainy day. I have not paid much attention to domestic affairs for so many years. Now I am ready to reorganize the domestic development strategy. I know what these executives have done. What does it have to do with you? I am also aware of the exchange of interests. As long as it can bring continuous and stable income to the Su family, I will say nothing. But if you fish in troubled waters and make a meal with corpses, then don't blame me for taking it."
Su Qin said it very politely, but the old man said it very directly, just saying that they have some collusion with you. Don't think that I don't know. Of course, you know it better than anyone else, so don't lie here.
It's just that some people have outstanding abilities and won't make things look too ugly, but some people are incompetent and still look ugly, and that's the only consequence.
Everyone's expressions changed slightly, and only the old man dared to point his nose at them and scold them.
After the old man finished speaking, he was silent for a moment, gauging everyone's reactions, and then continued: "It won't be like before anymore. From now on, I will be involved in domestic affairs. I will do a comprehensive review every three years, and all those who fail will be downgraded. Whoever recommends you will be jointly and severally liable. If you continue to recommend this kind of wine bag and rice bag, then you will no longer need to recommend it in the future, and of course your dividends will remain unchanged."
This time the old man is more straightforward
I accepted it and made it clear that this is not the first time that the three-year performance review and evaluation will be done in the future. It will become a routine matter every three years. The most important thing is that whoever recommended the job will be jointly and severally responsible. Then It means that this position is likely to be lost.
Of course, what the old man means is very obvious, that is, this position is not fixed. No one can only increase without decreasing, and no one can only decrease without increasing. Of course, as long as you all serve the Su family wholeheartedly, these positions may not change.
On the surface, this move is to revitalize the current stagnant situation of the Su family. In fact, it allows the Su family group to centralize power and take back the rights in the hands of the collateral branches. In the future, no one can rely on the Su family group to secretly help their own family. The benefits have been conveyed, and even if you dare to continue doing it, you won't look bad, otherwise it's no wonder that you don't even have a position.
The old man continued: "Of course, this is not just for you, but also for me. We can supervise each other so that the Su family can flourish."
The old man naturally dared to say this, and he didn't need to transfer benefits. These people were working for the Su family. As long as the Su family made more money, he would share more, and there was no need to transfer benefits at all.
Others also understand this truth, so it doesn't make any sense whether the old man says it or not, it just seems fair and just.
Everyone just listened to the old man's words, and no one said anything. The old man asked calmly: "Do you have any opinions on my proposal? If you have any opinions, you can raise them now. If you have a big opinion, show your hands and vote." If you don’t have any objections, let’s just do it.”
Su Beiming was the first to express his position: "I support the patriarch's proposal and I have no objections."
Su Yuanhang followed closely and said, "I have no objection either."
After Su Beiming and Su Yuanhang expressed their stance on behalf of the Qilu Su family and Jiangnan Su family, other people's opinions were meaningless, because even the vote was more than half.
The Su family is different from the Li family. The Li family needs brothers to work together to suppress the side clans. If the brothers are at odds, the current situation between Li Zhenzu and Li Zhentang will happen. There are people on both sides to support, and Li Zhentang has become the deputy patriarch.
The Su family has a centralized system of patriarchal power. Everything is based on the patriarch's wishes. As long as one sideline supports the patriarch, other people's opinions are meaningless.
Of course, the consequence of this is that either the Su family develops very well, or the Su family develops very badly. For example, how many years did the matter of the former patriarch delay the entire Su family?
Because of this, he finally became angry and resentful. Everyone opposed him and collectively united to remove him. However, he resisted forcefully and finally made the matter unable to end.
After Su Yuanhang finished speaking, Su Jinke couldn't wait to say: "Patriarch, I have no objection. I think the patriarch is right. The patriarch understands the righteousness, and the Su family will definitely develop better and better."
Su Jinke is really not very capable, but his ability to flatter is quite good.
Su Yongjun and Su Yuquan both sneered at Su Jinke. At this time, Su Tiancheng also said, "I have no objection."
Now only Su Yongjun and Su Yuquan were left. After Su Yongjun and Su Yuquan looked at each other, they said in unison: "We have no objection either."
At this point, the matter has been decided. The old man was not surprised. He waited until everyone had expressed their opinions before continuing: "You can take this list and discuss it. If you have any comments, you can contact me directly. If you don't have any comments, , those with a C-level rating will all be downgraded. You should prepare the list of corresponding substitutes within a month. I will discuss and decide who can fill the place after reading the list. The final result will be waited for the next Elders' Meeting. Announcement. Now if there is nothing else, this is the end of today’s Presbyterian meeting.”
This is the old man's strategy. Dig the pit for you first. If you don't jump, I'll hang you in the air first, and then use a knife to slowly cut your rope. It's still unknown who will fall into the pit in the end. How many people are unknown.
The old man's strategy was directly disrupted, and the overall arrangements of the Lingnan Su family and the Southwest Su family were arranged. They originally thought that today's Presbyterian Church would be very lively, but in the end they made a big fuss and spread everything.
But the old man just gave a score and asked you to prepare a substitute list. It's not appropriate for you to make trouble. This made him
They have a headache and don't know what to do.
Su Yuanhang and Su Tiancheng, a vested interest group headed by Su Beiming, said it was okay. Su Jinke did not dare to cause trouble at this time. In the end, only Su Yongjun and Su Yuquan were left. They are now very embarrassed and some don't know what to do. manage.
None of the three things we discussed last night have been brought up yet, so should we bring them up now or not?
Su Yongjun felt that he had to go back and discuss it with his father and the others. He finally gritted his teeth and said with disgust as if he had eaten a fly: "I have no objection."
Seeing that Su Yongjun had expressed his stance, Su Yuquan could only sigh and said, "I have no objection either."
Things that could have been settled today, the old man pushed back the incident for another month, which once again aroused everyone's attention. Who let the old man say who can fill the final position? It is he who has the final say.
Everyone had nothing else to do, so the old man said: "That's the end of the Presbyterian Council. If you still want to chat, then continue chatting. I'm going to rest first."
After saying that, the old man directly hung up the video, and the family meeting room fell into silence. Everyone looked at each other and didn't know what to say.
Su Qin chuckled and stood up and said: "Dear uncles and uncles, today's Presbyterian meeting has ended. It is already past twelve o'clock. I think everyone is a little hungry. I asked the old man to prepare lunch, so that everyone can have a good time to talk about old times. , you can take a short rest and then move to the restaurant."
It's just that no one has the intention to eat now, and they are all thinking about what the final result will be. Who will lose their corresponding position?
Su Beiming's judgment is that the patriarch's side, the Qilu Su family, the Jiangnan Su family, and Su Tiancheng's side will not lose, and their positions will be increased accordingly. Those who lose their positions should be the Su family, southwest of the Lingnan Su family, and Zhongyuan. Su family.
The Lingnan Su family is definitely the biggest loser. It is very likely that they will lose two places directly. The Southwest Su family and the Central Plains Su family should only lose one place. This means that four places are vacant, so the four of them will have exactly one place each. .
Except for the Lingnan Su family, this result cannot be accepted. Even the Southwest Su family and the Central Plains Su family can accept it. As for everyone else, everyone is happy.
Don't look at the loss of only one or two places. Don't forget that the next step will be the rating of second-level executives and third-level executives. This means that according to this ratio, a lot of benefits will be lost, and those who get a quota will also gain Huge benefits, this is very scary.
It depends on how the Lingnan Su family makes trouble. This time they really suppressed the Lingnan Su family.
Some of the judgments of other parties are similar to those of Su Bei Meditation, while others judge that the Su family in Lingnan, the southwest of the Su family, and the Yuan Su family in the Su family have each lost one place. There should be no changes on the clan leader's side. The Qilu Su family, the Jiangnan Su family, and Su Tiancheng Each side gets one quota, which is a more reasonable result.
The old man in Subei Meditation may be more ruthless, because the Lingnan Su family is too strong now, and he must suppress the momentum of the Lingnan Su family this time.
Others may think that the old man is just beating the Lingnan Su family, so that the Lingnan Su family may behave themselves in the future. Otherwise, if he is too harsh to the Lingnan Su family, they will inevitably resist too much.
Little did he know that the old man was not that simple this time. What he wanted to do was to be the most ruthless. He wished that someone would resist at this time. If anyone dared to resist, he would continue to cut off their interests. As long as the vast majority of those with vested interests were stabilized, that would be enough. , he doesn’t care about other people at all.
When everyone came to their senses, Su Yongjun stood up and said, "I won't have lunch. I have to leave beforehand. If the clan leader has other matters, we will contact you later."
Su Yuquan also stood up and echoed: "I also have something to do. I will accompany Brother Jun to meet a friend."
After saying this, the two people stood up and left the family meeting room without saying hello to everyone. Everyone knew that they were angry and couldn't help but look at each other.
Su Qin did not send these two people off, but just looked at the others and asked, "Is everyone okay?"
No one said anything, and Su Qin smiled and said: "Then let's move to the restaurant. I thought we would continue the meeting in the afternoon, but now there is nothing else to do in the afternoon. I can just drink with my uncles today. Thank you for your hard work." "
Su Jinke loved to drink. When he heard that there was wine, he immediately shouted happily: "Oh, eldest nephew, could you have told me earlier that there was wine? I am almost starving."
Su Yuanhang drinks the most. If there is a meeting in the afternoon, he will definitely not drink. Now that he is fine, he can drink some. He smiled and said: "Then let's go."
Everyone thought that there would be a full-day meeting today, and it would definitely cause a fuss. Who knew that the final result would be like this. Everything was done in two hours, and now there is nothing to do in the afternoon.
Of course, this family elders' meeting is just the beginning. The real bayonet will be seen in the family elders' meeting a month later. The detailed list will come out by then. It will be known who loses the quota and who gets the quota.
In the living room of the outer house, the juniors of the Su family did not know that the family elders' meeting had ended. Everyone was chatting happily. They had not seen each other for a long time. Some of them were in contact with each other, and some of them had not seen each other since the last time they met. It was several years ago.
The affairs of the elders are the affairs of the elders, and it is their relationship. Besides, they cannot get involved in the affairs of the elders.
Su Siying chatted happily with Sister Ruoruo, and Su Zhi here also joined in the conversation between their women. They were both the eldest daughter of the Su family, so there was no barrier between them when they chatted.
Ruoruo is the most beautiful among them, and both Su Siying and Su Zhi are a little envious. Su Zhi is the most capable among them. Su Zhi is now responsible for specific business in the Su family in Lingnan. Su Siying is relatively simple. .
Su Dingbo here was chatting about Su family affairs with Su De from the Su family in Lingnan and Su Kai and Sumao from the Su family in the southwest. However, Su Dingbo kept a distance from them and was not that familiar with them. Who let Lingnan The Su family and the Southwest Su family have less contact with their Jiangnan Su family.
Just when they were chatting happily, Su Yongjun and Su Yuquan walked in and shouted displeasedly: "Su De, Su Zhi, Su Kai, Su Mao, let's go."
Anyone could tell that Su Yongjun and Su Yuquan's expressions were not good, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Su Zhi quickly greeted Su Siying and Ruoruo, and quickly walked to Su Yongjun's side.
Su De, Su Kai and Su Mao, who were chatting with Su Dingbo, quickly got up and walked over. Su Yongjun and Su Yuquan left without saying anything.
Everyone clearly understood that the Presbyterian Church must have collapsed.
After everyone from the Lingnan Su family and the Southwest Su family had left, Su Dingbo took the lead and said: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, it seems that the Lingnan Su family and the Southwest Su family have been targeted this time. The result is probably not optimistic, otherwise it would be so unhappy. And dispersed."
Su Siying and Ruoruo are not interested in the affairs of the Su family at all. Those are the affairs of the elders, or men, and they, women, just enjoy life.
As soon as Su Dingbo finished speaking, Concubine Pei walked into the lounge and said, "Young masters and ladies, the elders' meeting is over. Everyone has moved to the restaurant. I will take you there."
Obviously, no one else left, only the Lingnan Su family and the Southwest Su family left. Su Dingbo's guess was not wrong. Moreover, he and his father had talked about this Presbyterian meeting on the way here, and they were both disappointed with the outcome. There is judgment, so Su Dingbo knows something. ..
After they entered the restaurant, several elders had already sat down. Su Qin, as the eldest son of the Su family, the owner of the Su family's old house, naturally sat at the head seat.
Su Beiming and Su Yuanhang sat on the left and right sides of Su Qin, followed by Su Jinke and Su Tiancheng.
Now that these juniors are here, they naturally sit at the bottom.
After greeting the elders, several juniors found their seats and sat down. The elders were still chatting and laughing happily, as if nothing happened. This was a world away from the reactions of the Lingnan Su family and the Southwest Su family. However, several juniors couldn't help but feel a little confused.
In the old house of the Su family, the vested interests were celebrating, except for the idiot Su Jinke. Of course, Su Jinke felt that he had also made a profit.
Over there, the Lingnan Su family and the Southwest Su family, who had returned to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, were furious. Everything that happened today was completely different from what they expected. They were pushed by the old man's Tai Chi move.
The beating was a bit confusing, and neither of them could make up their minds about what to do next, so they could only report to Su Minghe first.
"The last chapter of this year, I wish everyone a happy new year, peace and joy in the new year, and may all your wishes come true..."
