Lin Yue pinched Chen Dong's cheek: "He's getting fatter and fatter. Come on, this is a meeting gift for you."
The little guy is 12 years old this year, and his height is close to 1.7 meters. He looks very strong, and I think he lives a good life on weekdays.
This is not the first time they have met. Every time they meet, Lin Yue always gives money, ranging from as much as one thousand yuan to each person, which is doubled during the New Year, and as little as three to five hundred yuan. For children from ordinary families, the money is quite a lot, but compared to him Her net worth is nothing at all, so even if people in Chenjiacun see it, they won’t think much about it. After all, Qiaogu often runs to Chen Yulian. Ever since Chen Daguang went to attend the wedding of Lin Yue and Chen Tingting, and said that he would not mention the past. Now, they have buried the hatchet and turned their hostility into friendship. Qiao Gu goes to Chen Yulian's house more often and often takes her two children there for dinner.
This is normal. She used to help Chen Yulian in her store, and everyone in the village knew that they had a good relationship.
"Thank you Uncle Lin."
Chen Dong and Chen Qian took the pocket money and said thank you politely.
As children, they spend a lot of time with their mother. Qiao Gu has told them about the goodness of Chen Yulian and Lin Yue since they were young. Even if Chen Daguang and Chen Jintu hate Lin Yue, what will change? Moreover, they gave pocket money every time they met, and the amount was quite large, so of course they felt that Uncle Lin was treating them well.
Lin Yue straightened up, looked at the embarrassed Qiaogu and said, "Last time I went home, my mother said that she liked Chen Dong and Chen Qian very much. She said that they were as well-behaved and sensible as you. She wanted to recognize them as my grandson and granddaughter. What do you think? Is this good?"
"this……"
No wonder I had a very bad premonition just now. Every time the two of them met Lin Yue and wanted to play new tricks, they would be as nervous as now. It has almost become a conditioned reflex now.
"Why are you still hesitating? That's a good thing." Chen Daguang made the decision from the side and agreed.
What did he think? Now the Ruan Group is going to enter the Chinese market and has also roped in Wang Xu. Although he doesn't think he will lose to that little kid, the financial resources of the Ruan Group are definitely not comparable to that of the Daguang Group. If Chen Dong and Chen Qian recognize Chen Yulian As a grandma, he can get the support of the Shuangwu Group, and with the cooperation of the Yang Group, Ruan Wenxiong wants to get a piece of the pie from him? That is impossible.
"The relationship between Aunt Yulian and Dad...isn't good, people in the village will gossip."
Qiao Gu had two concerns. First, she knew this was Lin Yue's prank. Every once in a while, this guy would do something that would make her heart beat and find it exciting. Looking through history, he would turn out to be a cuckold like Chen Daguang. Not to mention that it is unprecedented, it is definitely unprecedented. Second, Chen Dong and Chen Qian recognized Chen Yulian as their godmother, so wouldn’t she be Chen Yulian’s goddaughter? Their relationship would be messed up.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Chen Daguang took over: "The old Chen family has been in the fifth server in our generation. After the fifth server, we are no longer relatives. When it comes to Chen Dong and Chen Qian's generation, it is even further. Who would choose this kind of reasoning?”
When Qiaogu heard what he said, she was glared at by Lin Yue, and her position suddenly changed.
"Oh well."
Chen Daguang said with a smile: "A close relationship plus a close relationship, does this count as a close relationship plus a close relationship?"
Lin Yue looked at Chen Qian and Chen Dong and said, "Of course, we are close relatives."
"In this case, it's better to choose a different day than to hit the sun. I'll treat them to the Yiwu Hotel tonight and take them to worship grandma."
"Hey, how could you invite me? It's against the rules. I'll just make the arrangements."
"Then we won't be polite."
"What does one family say to two families?"
Chen Daguang was very happy, super happy, because his plan to paralyze his opponent worked.
Just imagine if Lin Yue still regarded him as an enemy, how could he let Chen Yulian accept Chen Dong and Chen Qian as his grandsons and granddaughters? Now that the Shuangwu Group is powerful and the Ruan Group is coming menacingly, his best choice is to hold Lin tightly. Let the enterprise have no worries first, and then seek revenge.
It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge after ten years!
Of course Qiaogu knew what Chen Daguang was planning, what could she say? I can only mourn for Chen Daguang in my heart.
…
Eleven years later.
2018.
This year, Lin Yue and Chen Tingting’s child Lin Fei entered the third grade of elementary school.
This year, Qiu Yan's condition was stable. She, Lin Yue and Chen Tingting lived together for twelve years, but they never had children. This was the doctor's advice and Lin Yue's insistence.
This year, Chen Jinshui's wife died of illness, and Qiaogu moved back to the old house to serve her father.
This year, Chen Dong and Chen Qian graduated from college, one entered the Daguang Group as an intern, and the other entered the Juilliard School of Music to continue their studies.
This year, Shuangwu Group, as an unlisted company, has a market value of over 300 billion.
This year, Yang Group completed its strategic transformation and expanded from its previous hardware and jewelry processing to a comprehensive enterprise integrating mining, smelting, forging, and production of hardware products.
This year, Daguang Group added real estate development business to its original business and became the top three real estate developers in Jinhua City.
This year, the overseas warehouses in Europe did not bring economic benefits to the Ruan family. Instead, they became a drag and continued to bleed the Ruan Group. However, on the other hand, due to the further reduction in shipping costs and the increase in domestic labor costs However, hardware products produced in Southeast Asia have become the darling of the international market because of their low cost. They are basically on par with the Yang Group and beat the Daguang Group. This surprised the onlookers who were paying attention to the grievances between Chen Jianghe, Chen Daguang, Lin Yue, Yang Xue, and Wang Xu. These companies were obviously peers, but they all survived the long-term competition and developed their own development.
This year is also the year when Luo Yuzhu is about to be released from prison. What's surprising is that she didn't get a reduced sentence in there. She doesn't know whether it was because she didn't perform well enough or there were unknown reasons. In short, she stayed in there for eleven years.
This year, the most important thing for Lin Yue is the trade war. Yiwu's factories, large and small, have been greatly affected, and the order volume has dropped significantly compared with previous years. Although Shuangwu Group has various There are many ways to avoid the losses caused by the tariff stick, but other companies are not so lucky.
"Lin Yue, we can't go on like this. If we continue like this, Shuangwu Group will be brought down." Xiao Hang said with a hint of pleading.
Xiao Dongfeng is older than Chen Jinzhu. He resigned as a director of the board of directors five years ago and handed it over to his eldest son Xiao Hang.
"Yes, cousin, I don't have much funds left. If this continues, it will last for another two months at most." Chen Ping stretched out two fingers to emphasize the seriousness of the problem.
"Brother Yue, everyone below is complaining and waiting for you to speak. We are a company, not a philanthropist. We really can't continue." Li Ming, assistant to the general manager and secretary of the board of directors, also advised him to stop. hand.
One is called by name, one is called cousin, and the other is called Brother Yue.
And here is the board of directors.
It's not that the three of them don't understand the rules, it's because they call them Mr. Lin, Director Lin... It's a waste of time. It's better to call them like this and play the emotional card.
Chang Xiyun saw that Lin Yue was motionless and didn't speak. He looked at the folders on the table without sadness or joy, feeling somewhat anxious.
"Lin Yue, you must tell everyone what you are thinking. If this continues, if the capital chain is broken, the group will collapse."
He Zizi and Li Jinze also looked at him eagerly.
From the early 1980s to 2018, more than thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye. In the eyes of the two of them, Lin Yue was the reincarnation of Zhang Liang and the rebirth of Kong Ming, turning what was once a small workshop into a company with a valuation of more than 300 billion. In a large group, he can do everything with perfect plan, but now, he has done something...how should I put it, it is not something that a businessman should do.
He often said that entrepreneurs should shoulder social responsibilities, but social responsibilities should not involve burning oneself to illuminate others, but should be done in a certain way.
"Okay, I understand what you all mean, but we still have to stick to the resolution we made a year ago. We can't give in at this time." Lin Yue raised his head, looked at everyone and said something.
Chang Xiyun sighed heavily: "You...why are you so stubborn!"
He didn't understand. Lin Yue was not old enough to commit a crime, so why did he get into trouble on this matter? No matter how powerful you are, can you challenge the President of the United States? Can you challenge the tariff stick?
What's more, this has nothing to do with Shuangwu Group in the first place, so why do we have to wade into this muddy water?
When the others heard this, they sighed, were dumbfounded, and were unhappy. In short, they all disapproved of his actions.
"Over the years... He Laizi, you had no income and relied on support from your parents and relatives. What now? You have had three wives. As you get older, your wives are getting younger and younger. The eldest daughter is thirteen. , I heard that this little wife is pregnant again, what does this mean, the food is good, the life is good, and the body is good, right?"
"Brother Xiao Hang, when Uncle Xiao applied to join Shuangwu Group, you were opposed to it. In the end, it was me who made the final decision. Over the years, has Dongfeng Home Furnishing become the first-class furniture company in the country? It has achieved the ultimate in sinking the market, first and second tier IKEA is the largest in the city, and Dongfeng is the king among third-, fourth- and fifth-tier brands. If you think about it, if I hadn’t carried a Simmons to Uncle Xiao back then, today’s Dongfeng Home would probably still be a small workshop at the head of Chenjiacun.”
"Cousin, you and I won't talk about it anymore. Just compare it with Chen Hong, and you should understand what it means to be better than above, less than below, and more than below."
"Uncle Chang, back then I asked you to change your career to printing and dyeing, and you accepted my advice. This led to the acquisition of a carpet factory that was on the verge of bankruptcy to export shoes and hats. This was considered as helping you to get out of being squeezed out of the carpet factory. I have been grudged against the deputy factory director for ten whole years."
"Li Jinze, do people who used to call you Pig Killer still dare to call you that now?"
"..."
Everyone was speechless, and all their emotions were choked back by his questions.
"Don't say anything? Then I'll continue." Lin Yue said: "The words above are not pleasant. I know that because I said it, you just keep it in your heart. If it had been anyone else, you would have turned the table over, right? After all, if you put them in their respective stalls, your subordinates and those who make money from you will be respectful and serve you with good wine, cigarettes and good food. I have said so much today, and I just want to express one idea. Where are the people? , you must learn to be content and never forget your roots. After following me for so many years, each of you has made a lot of money, but if you have to regard the sentence "No one will have trouble with money" as a golden rule and a creed in life, then it will really work. We are slaves to money. Now orders from overseas have dropped significantly, and we are still unaffected. But what about those small businesses with single products, fragile capital chains, and poor risk resistance? Natural selection means survival of the fittest. It’s light, but after these eight words, how many people are unemployed? How many families are in trouble? How did Yiwu grow into a global small commodity distribution center? Isn’t it just relying on high-quality and low-priced small commodities? And where did these small commodities come from? ? It is the accumulation of small businesses that cannot withstand too big a storm. Once they are finished, Yiwu's status as a global small commodity distribution center will be in jeopardy. At this important moment, Shuangwu Group will not stand up and shoulder it with them. Who else will accompany them through this cold and long winter?"
The words are long, but the content is very clear, that is, he saved these small businesses that encountered difficulties.
"But……"
Li Ming still felt that this was a bit too extreme.
It's okay to use Shuangwu Group's money to subsidize those small businesses, but it's really unwise to do it in this way regardless of the cost.
Originally, there were tax rebates for products exported abroad. Coupled with the subsidies from Shuangwu Group, a group of small businesses have been able to survive for about half a year. But God knows how long the trade conflict will last. No matter how rich Shuangwu Group is, it cannot withstand this kind of situation. Such a huge amount of blood loss. If we save them and Shuangwu Group collapses, wouldn't that be a huge loss to the market? What's more, those small businesses failed to survive and Shuangwu Group was dragged down. Wouldn't that be even more tragic?
Li Jinze shook his head and stopped Li Ming from continuing.
Because he understands Lin Yue's meaning better than his cousin, that is, everyone has made a lot of money in these years, and it is time to stop. Lin Yue must save those small businesses, even if they take advantage of Shuangwu Group No matter what.
From establishing an integrity fund in the past to granting interest-free loans to shops that were on the verge of bankruptcy due to the proliferation of counterfeit goods, to using the group's money to subsidize export companies in Yiwu, to be fair, it has been relatively subsidizing college students, building Hope Primary Schools, and donating to disaster-stricken areas. Such charities have gained a good reputation. Basically nothing, because ordinary people have no sympathy for those small merchants and small business owners, and may even be criticized, saying that Boss Lin just wants to be in the limelight and regards himself as the savior.
This guy loves to do thankless things!
Lin Yue said: "Since everyone has no objections, just do as I say. Remember, you must keep an eye on the implementation of the agreement. Who dares to hide the truth and engage in third-party resale tricks? You know what to do. "
He pushed his chair back, stood up and walked outside.
After everyone waited for him to leave, they talked for a few more words and could only accept this reality.
Li Jinze, He Zizi, Xiao Hang, and Chang Xiyun all held more than half of their shares for Lin Yue. Even if they did not consider their previous friendship, if he insisted on doing this, they would not be able to change the overall situation.
The consensus among the last few people is that even Li Ming, the youngest member of the board of directors, has already achieved financial freedom after so many years of work. Everyone has also given advice, and the rest...just leave it to fate.
…
Two months later.
As winter approaches, the confrontation over tariffs continues.
First, it was reported on the Internet that Shuangwu Group's capital chain was tight, and some unimportant positions began to be laid off. Then, the collectors who went to cooperative companies tried every means to ask for payment. Yiwu people, especially those doing business, felt a wave of The smell of impending mountain rain.
Yes, Shuangwu Group has a big problem. To put it bluntly, Lin Yue single-handedly transferred all the risks that trade confrontation brought to Yiwu’s small and medium-sized enterprises to his own company. To put it more bluntly, in the field of small commodities, he was at odds with the US imperialism’s tariff stick. .
Some people think he is manly enough.
There are some who think that he is using his arms as a chariot.
I think this is a good show, full of interesting things to watch.
Of course, there are also those who gloat over misfortune. After all, Shuangwu Group has been standing in southern Zhejiang for 30 years, and I am tired of hearing its name. There is a saying that when a whale falls, everything will be born. If it falls, others will have a chance.
The most representative person who holds this idea is Chen Daguang.
"Qiaogu, look, come and take a look."
Chen Daguang excitedly waved his Apple Acquisition, restructuring...all the way until Lin Yue went against all objections and frantically provided subsidies to small businesses that had suffered from increased tariffs and sharp reductions in orders.
"Lin Yue is going to be finished, haha, Shuangwu Group is going to be finished, I finally waited for this day."
Qiaogu walked over, took the phone and looked at it for a few times. Although she had heard about the rumors in the society, she was still very angry when she saw what some people who were gloating about their misfortune said.
"Do you know what Chen Dong calls these people? Keyboard warriors. A few years ago, everyone would calmly discuss issues online. Some people today are so incompetent."
】
Chen Daguang looked embarrassed when he said this, because he just had no quality.
