As soon as he asked the question, Cheng Yu felt that he shouldn't ask. The reason was very simple. With Cheng Guangnian's character, he could let his subordinates handle such matters that were mixed with business and family matters, but he would never let them handle it after he had completely done it.
Know his plans before making a decision.
Xu Dong's answer did not surprise Cheng Yu.
He said: "I don't know what Director Cheng is thinking. As you know, Mr. Cheng, Director Cheng will not let us know his attitude before making any decision."
Cheng Yu nodded and asked, "How is my dad's temper today?"
"I didn't see Director Cheng getting angry. He seemed very calm as before. He just asked me to find the eldest young master. After finding him, he asked Mr. Guang Le to enter his office with the eldest young master. It's been more than two hours and he still hasn't come out.
.In the meantime, I was asked to go in and get the company’s information. I saw Mr. Guangle and the young master standing in the corner of the room with their heads lowered. "
"Okay, I understand. Please help me ask when my dad will come back. Just tell him that I have something to do in the evening and ask him to go home as soon as possible."
Xu Dong agreed and Cheng Yu hung up the phone.
After going to Cheng Qingsong's place, Cheng Yu picked up the old man and ordered the family's chef to prepare dinner.
About forty minutes later, Cheng Guangnian came back. Cheng Yu was a little surprised when he saw him. He originally thought that Ning Kezhu would come back with him.
"Is there any entertainment tonight?" Cheng Guangnian asked while taking off his coat.
Cheng Yu nodded and said, "Well, I made an appointment with the person in charge of a research institute and wanted to acquire one of their technologies."
"You are an investment company, why are you acquiring technology?"
"It's about an investment plan. This is my job, so don't ask. Where is my mother? Isn't she with you?"
"Your mother went shopping with Xiaoyu's mother for dinner today. I didn't tell her what happened at your second uncle's house, so don't talk about it later."
Cheng Yu nodded and accepted a large pile of documents handed over by Cheng Guangnian.
"There are forty-seven documents in total, please sign them all."
Cheng Yu sat down on the sofa, lowered his head to sign the contracts, and asked, "How do you plan to handle this matter?"
Cheng Guangnian looked at Cheng Qingsong sitting beside him and said, "Let's talk about this after dinner."
Cheng Yu didn't ask any more questions, and just continued to sign the contracts, which were basically all kinds of transfer and acquisition agreements. Some already had the signature of the other party, and some were still blank.
After all, he was his biological father. Although Cheng Yu didn't have a good relationship with him, he didn't think that Cheng Guangnian would cheat him, so he signed his name one by one without looking at the contents of the contract.
After Cheng Guangnian checked it over and confirmed that there were no missing signatures, he packed up the documents.
The three of them had dinner together, maintaining the usual silence during the dinner.
After eating, Cheng Qingsong's nursing staff took him for a walk in the backyard. Only then did Cheng Guangnian say to Cheng Yu: "How do you want me to deal with your second uncle's affairs?"
Cheng Yu smiled and said: "They are not targeting me, so I don't have any objections. It is already very disappointing for a family to do this. I don't want to get involved in all this anymore. Even the newly established
In this company, if it weren't for the purpose of avoiding a conflict between you and Uncle Du, I wouldn't have any interest in these shares. I will keep these shares for my mother, and I will return them to her when necessary."
Cheng Guangnian was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Cheng Yu with some confusion, and said: "I am a person with a net worth of more than 100 billion. The reason why Cheng Yi is so obsessed is precisely because of this. He is not qualified to inherit.
People are working tirelessly on this, but you really don’t care at all?”
"You also said that this is your net worth. From a legal point of view, I am the heir. But you are now strong and a will can change my qualifications as an heir at any time.
Is it useful for me to think about this?
And based on what I have learned and learned, I can still live a good life.
Lao Cheng, to be honest, money has been just a numbers game since I had the concept. My company is in good shape now. If nothing else, I won’t be worth billions when I reach your age.
few.
Do you really think there is a difference between billions and hundreds of billions?
Sometimes I can't understand you. I'm not a person who likes to look at problems from a macro perspective. I prefer a micro perspective. I always feel that it's enough for me to take care of my life."
Cheng Guangnian was silent for a moment again after hearing this, and Cheng Yu continued: "But I do have a question."
Looking at his son, Cheng Guangnian said: "What's the question?"
"It's unfair and wrong to say that you are actually indifferent to me. Sometimes I can actually feel that you care about me. According to this idea, your assets have been spent in ten lifetimes, but you still
He refuses to stop, and he doesn’t seem to want to help me build an empire and make my starting point higher. Don’t you deny this?”
Cheng Guangnian said: "Is this a complaint?"
Cheng Yu waved his hand and said: "I'm just out of curiosity, not complaining? My starting point is already very high, and the money I make from selling cars is already more than most people on this earth can make in their lifetime. And I am now famous.
The assets should have exceeded 100 million. Of course, there is an element of opportunism in this.
But as my company’s investment projects in the past six months have gradually seen results, most of them have gradually increased valuations, and there is even a project with a leaping valuation increase. In the next one to two years, I will
It is time to gradually sell off the shares obtained from these investments for cash out and the next round of new investments.
By then I estimate that my assets will exceed 300 million.
So, I have nothing to complain about? I don’t think I can spend more than 300 million in my life. I’m just surprised that you seem to be very different from other fathers.”
"What is your curiosity about?"
Cheng Yu thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I'm not targeting anything, I just feel that you seem to value external things too much, which prevents us from communicating like an ordinary father and son. It's like your assets seem to be yours."
Even my mother can't say anything, but you don't seem to have the right to make the decision. You have no right to hand over these assets to me."
Cheng Guangnian had a rare expression, and his eyebrows twitched slightly on his face.
He thought to himself, son, you are really my good son. You have actually seen the facts that no one could have imagined.
Fortunately, you have never been able to know the whole story, and I will never let you know the whole story.
"If you were more obedient, we wouldn't be unable to communicate."
Cheng Yu smiled, a little sadly.
"Be obedient? You mean to let me continue to stay in the United States alone, and only see you and my mother for less than a month every year? Even time doesn't exist, and we still communicate with each other. Forget it, I
If we give up, let’s maintain the somewhat estranged father-son relationship we have now, at least this way we won’t quarrel.”
Cheng Guangnian's face became a little ugly. He sighed and said, "Cheng Yu, I am doing this for the good of our family."
Cheng Yu shook his head slowly, with a smile of disapproval on his face.
"We have different values. We think the best way for this family is different. But to be honest, your behavior in the past two days makes me unable to understand. You obviously care about your assets, so why would you let my mother take them away?"
Are the shares in my hand transferred to me? Is it purely for the Du Group? It doesn’t really seem like it. I have been worried for the past two days whether my decision has successfully curbed your ambitions or added fuel to the flames."
After Cheng Guangnian heard this, he sighed again in his heart.
Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu, how do you know that those assets are precisely because they are in your mother's name, and they are share quotas set as early as the early days of my business, so I can let her transfer them to you.
On a legal level, these properties are shared between me and your mother, and your mother also owns half of my assets. However, from the perspective of that existential thinking, what is mine is only mine, or in other words, its.
What's your mother's is only your mother's. Otherwise, why do you think your mother's company is only worth three billion after so many years? Why did I never ask her to merge the company into our Cheng Group? That's all
This is the foreshadowing I left for you.
Fortunately, that existence agreed with my approach, and the transfer of your mother's property to you did not make it feel that I had violated the rules it had established.
Du Shi, it’s not what I want, that is the biggest guarantee I leave you.
Maybe one day I can leave the Cheng family to you, but I'm not sure.
Or in other words, if one day you can follow my plan and take over everything from the Du family, then it won't matter if the Cheng family disappears from this world. I fully enjoy what the Cheng family's business empire has brought to me.
All glory, but at the same time, I am also being tortured by Cheng all the time.
I'm not even sure now whether my original decision was right or wrong.
But these are not important anymore. What is important is whether you can obey my arrangements outside of its rules.
…
Cheng Yu would not know these inner monologues, even if he used mind-reading skills.
Seeing that his father was silent for a long time, Cheng Yu looked at the time and stood up: "I have an appointment tonight, so I won't talk to you anymore."
Cheng Guangnian looked at Cheng Yu, nodded, and said: "Your second uncle and Cheng Yi will resign from all positions in the Cheng Group. In a few days, after they have settled their affairs, they will move here.
Living in the same house as your grandfather. I hope this matter will be stopped here, and you'd better not mention it again in the future."
Cheng Yu was a little surprised by the result of this treatment, which meant that Cheng Guangle and Cheng Yi completely lost all opportunities.
"Can they agree?"
"They can't help it. But I will make some compensation to them. Master Cheng will end his studies early, return to China and join the Cheng family, take over Xu Dong's position, and work with me."
Cheng Yu nodded, understanding that this was indeed a great compensation.
As for Cheng Guangle's family, this is considered the best result. After all, it saves their family's last glimmer of hope.
Otherwise, even if they decide to leave the Cheng family, Cheng Guangnian's methods will make them lose everything within a year.
"You just decide. I'm leaving."
Cheng Guangnian waved his hand and said, "Go and do your business."
Cheng Yu went out, got in his car, and went straight to the Taohuayuan Club.
I sent a WeChat message to Xue Changyun on the way, and Xue Changyun said that they were also on their way to Peach Blossom Spring.
