Taking Root
What Meant by Maximizing Benefits
For example, Qin Sheng did this time. The shares of the two companies in two cities were indeed tempting, but it was the same no matter who he sold them to. If he sold them to an ordinary investment institution, he would only earn money. If he sold them to a top investment institution, he might get a chance to continue cooperating with them. However, if he sold them to the Fang Family, he might get help from the Fang Family in Shenzhen.
He Yong had been a tyrant in Shenzhen and had pocketed a lot of the Qin Family's assets over the years. Especially after Qin Changan's accident, He Yong had transferred a lot of the Qin Family's assets under the instigation of his scoundrels and the secret support of his Sixth Uncle. The Qin Family had no time to deal with the ambitious ingrates like He Yong and Song Shixin before. Now that the Qin Family had sold the Chang 'an branch, which was too big to be sold, they no longer had to focus on the Chang' an branch. They could finally deal with He Yong and Song Shixin. Therefore, Qin Sheng had to make a plan and complete this task at the lowest cost.
Now the Qin Family was selling the high-quality assets that they had acquired. After sorting out these assets, it was time to integrate the original assets of the Qin Family. Before the New Year, the Qin Family had decided to check the accounts of the last five years. The reason why they chose the last five years was that the Chang 'an branch had developed rapidly in the last five years, and so had the Qin Family. At that time, He Yong and Song Shixin had also become governors.
However, it would be very difficult to check the accounts of the last five years. At that time, they might have to confront them directly. Dalian belonged to the sphere of influence in the northeast. Zhuang Zhou had a lot of connections there, and there were other hidden resources of the Qin Family that could be used. Gongsun had been planning with Zhuang Zhou, but they had no clue about the Shenzhen branch. Therefore, Qin Sheng came up with this idea.
He could use the shares of the two companies in two cities to pry open the Fang Family, the Lingnan God. The Fang Family was not a big family in Guangdong, but it was powerful, far beyond He Yong. Otherwise, Fang Lu would have dared to go against Yao Yao directly. Because of this, Qin Sheng came up with this idea after the Fang Family took the initiative to contact him.
Otherwise, why would he agree to have dinner with Fang Lu and bring Song Ruyu along?
However, whether it would work or not, Qin Sheng was just trying. Therefore, the shares of the two cities' businesses were just the beginning. If the Fang Family had this intention, then the other assets of the Qin Family could also be transferred to the Fang Family in the future. The Fang Family would get the benefits that they deserved. The Qin Family would not only get rid of He Yong, but also sell these assets at the same time. It could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
Qin Sheng knew that Fang Lu did not have such a great ability to settle this matter. His meeting with Fang Lu tonight was just to throw a brick to attract jade. After Fang Lu went back and discussed it with the elders in her family, he would know the result.
After dinner, Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu left first. Of course, Fang Lu paid the bill. After Qin Sheng left, Fang Lu thought carefully about what Qin Sheng had said. She had never heard of He Yong, nor did she know what Qin Sheng's ultimate purpose was. She could only go back and discuss it with the elders in her family.
On the way home with Song Ruyu, Qin Sheng said with some embarrassment, "It's a bit hard for you to act with me today."
While Qin Sheng and Fang Lu were talking, Song Ruyu didn't interrupt them. She just listened to their conversation. If it weren't for Qin Sheng, Song Ruyu wouldn't have agreed to have dinner with Fang Lu. Although they had met a few times, their relationship was not that close. Moreover, Song Ruyu was very picky when it came to making friends.
Song Ruyu said half-jokingly, "It's nothing. I even freeloaded a western meal with you."
Qin Sheng laughed and said, "You still lack food? I guess many people in Sijiu City want to treat you to a meal. But you really need to eat more recently. I see that you have lost a lot of weight. Others get fat during the Spring Festival, but you do the opposite."
"How am I thin?" Song Ruyu lived a regular life and was also very self-disciplined in other aspects. She would never allow herself to gain weight. Fortunately, she was the kind of person who would not gain weight no matter how much she ate.
At this time, Qin Sheng deliberately looked at a certain part of Song Ruyu's body. He did not say anything, but the smile on his face had already betrayed him. Song Ruyu instantly blushed and said coquettishly, "Rogue."
Instead of feeling ashamed, Qin Sheng laughed out loud. It seemed that he had been unscrupulously flirting with Song Ruyu recently. Anyway, Song Ruyu would not do anything except blush and say coquettishly. After a while, Qin Sheng slowly put his arm around Song Ruyu's shoulder. Song Ruyu was also contented and leaned her head on Qin Sheng's chest. Qin Sheng thought that if life could be a multiple-choice question, then he would not know what Song Ruyu was thinking.
In the evening, Fang Lu returned home in Beijing and called her grandfather. It was better to discuss this matter directly with her grandfather. Even if she called her father and uncle, they would eventually have to report it to her grandfather, because they could not make a decision.
Although Fang Lu lived alone in Beijing, the mansion she lived in was not small. It was a small, luxurious house with an area of more than 200 square meters, but it only had a master bedroom, a secondary bedroom, and a study room. This house was bought by her cousin's family when he was studying in Beijing a few years ago. Later, her cousin returned to Guangzhou to develop his career, and the house was left empty until she came to Beijing this time.
After Fang Lu repeated everything, she said, "Grandfather, this is all the things I talked about with Qin Sheng today. What do you think?"
In the old house of the Fang family in Guangzhou, Old Master Fang sat on the balcony and was lost in thought. The Old Master's hair was yellow and white, but he looked very energetic. He did not look like an old man in his 70s at all. With an old pipe in his mouth, he looked very dignified. This kind of temperament was definitely cultivated by several generations.
The Old Master asked thoughtfully, "Does Qin Sheng's words carry any weight in the Qin family?"
Fang Lu answered honestly, "As far as I know, since Qin Sheng's father had an accident, Qin Sheng, his aunt, and sister have been in charge of everything in the Qin family. Qin Sheng is the only male in the Qin family, so his words should carry a lot of weight. Although his aunt is an elder in the Qin family, Qin Sheng still has the Zhu family behind him."
Old Master Fang took a drag of the cigarette and directly exhaled all the smoke as he said, "I didn't expect that the shares of the two commercial companies in the two cities could lead to these things. I think I know what Qin Sheng wants to do, and what the Qin family wants to do."
Fang Lu frowned and said, "Grandfather, what does he want to do? What does He Yong do?"
"He Yong is a little famous in Shenzhen, but he is just a dog of the Qin family. It is precisely because he is a dog of the Qin family that he can get to where he is now. It seems that this dog is not obedient. Now the Qin family wants to deal with this dog. However, after Qin Changan's accident, the Qin family does not have enough resources in all aspects, or maybe they don't want to use some resources. Otherwise, how could the Qin family not try to deal with He Yong, a small dog? If Qin Changan was here, it would only take a few phone calls. Of course, if Qin Changan was not in trouble, He Yong would not dare to do anything. "Old Master Fang had a lot of power in Guangdong, because the Fang family was born in the richest Chaoshan area in Guangdong.
Of the big families in Chaoshan, many branches of the family were doing business in Hong Kong, Macao, and Southeast Asia. Among them, some were even influential local bigwigs. Similarly, many people in the Fang family entered politics with the support of this huge family. With such connections both at home and abroad, their careers would naturally be very successful.
In the Lingnan area, the relationship between the family and the family was very important. In addition to the relationship between teachers and students from the same hometown and overseas, there were indeed many big families in the Lingnan area, and the Fang family was one of them.
Fang Lu was smart. How could she not understand Grandfather's words? She said subconsciously, "Grandfather, Qin Sheng wants us to help them get rid of He Yong, this dog, on vacation."
"Well, I don't know who came up with this idea. If it is Qin Sheng, your classmate is really not simple. With his father's power, he even dares to talk to us about such a business. But it is only the shares of the two cities' business, not enough." Old Master Fang chuckled, because Fang Lu did not finish her words.
At this time, Fang Lu immediately said, "Grandfather, Qin Sheng also said that the shares of the two cities' business is only the beginning. The Qin family will sell other assets later. If we are interested, we can choose first."
"Oh." Hearing this, Old Master Fang narrowed his eyes. He thought of what the Qin family wanted to do, and then thought of the Qin family selling the shares of the Chang 'an Group. He seemed to understand what the Qin family wanted to do.
At this time, Old Master Fang's eyes lit up. "Lulu, I understand. It turns out that the Qin family thinks in this way. It seems that if we help the Qin family get rid of He Yong, this dog, we can get a lot of benefits from the Qin family's assets in Guangdong and other assets."
Fang Lu frowned and asked, "Grandfather, how should I reply? Do we agree or not?"
"Why not? You call tomorrow and ask when we can talk about the shares of the two cities' business. I will ask your Youngest Uncle to go to Beijing now. It would be better if your Youngest Uncle can meet Qin Sheng and the elders of the Qin family. In this way, the two families can be considered to have a formal relationship, and there will be other cooperation in the future," Old Master Fang said bluntly.
Fang Lu was surprised and said, "Grandfather, you agree?"
"Lulu, do you know why I agree?" Old Master Fang asked calmly.
Fang Lu was a little confused. She replied, "I knew. But now that you mentioned it, I don't know."
Hearing his granddaughter's words, Old Master Fang could not help but laugh. This silly girl was too smart. He did not keep her in suspense and answered honestly, "It's okay if we don't want the shares of the two cities' business. We may not be able to take the Qin family's assets. However, we must rely on the Qin family. Many families in Chaoshan want to enter their circle, but what happened in the end? Without a root in Beijing, our roots in Chaoshan will not be able to withstand the destruction of the wind. Our Fang family's foundation in Beijing is still very weak. I am paving the way for you."
Fang Lu understood immediately. She first said, "Grandfather, I know you are doing this for my own good. I will definitely not let you down."
After saying this, Fang Lu quickly said, "I will bring you a grandson-in-law from Beijing tomorrow. If there is no leader in the family, I don't think it is right to bring him back to our family."
"Uh …" Old Master Fang was a little confused by Fang Lu's sudden change of direction. He did not come to himself for a while. When he came to himself, Fang Lu had already hung up.
At this time, Old Master Fang began to wonder if it was a wrong decision to let his granddaughter go to Beijing to develop her career.
