"Hong Zhan has a soft temper and is indeed a bit indecisive."
Mr. Hong nodded in approval and asked with a smile: "I wonder if Mr. Ye has any good suggestions?"
Ye Fan looked at Hong Xianxian with a smile.
Hong Xianxian was startled. She never expected that the other party would actually look at her at this time! What did this mean that he wanted to propose to her?
Although Hong Xianxian also thinks that her father cannot be reused, no matter what, his father is also a top student and his elder.
I am still young and cannot possibly outdo my father.
According to grandpa's idea, he planned to let himself practice for a few years.
My father is not enough to go in, but more than enough to defend. When the situation stabilizes, he will be able to take over the baton, and then he will be more comfortable.
Hong Xianxian had no objection to her grandfather's arrangement, but she was still a little unconvinced.
At this time, Ye Fan turned his gaze to himself, and Hong Xianxian suddenly felt itchy.
A feeling of "confidant" surged through the whole body. I was so looking forward to it! Just when Hong Xianxian was full of longing, Ye Fan slowly spit out two words.
"Hongase!"
"I, I'm not qualified enough..." Hong Xianxian blurted out, but suddenly came back to reality the next second: "You... you proposed to my cousin?"
"yes."
Ye Fan smiled calmly and said: "Ms. Hong, what did you say? What about insufficient qualifications?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Hong Xianxian. It was obvious that they had heard what Hong Xianxian said just now, but they just didn't hear it clearly.
"No, no."
Hong Xianxian's face was as red as blood, and she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
"Mr. Ye, do you propose that I serve as the chairman of the joint venture company?"
Hong Lai reacted and his face flushed with excitement.
"Yes, you heard it right."
Ye Fan laughed and looked at Mr. Hong meaningfully: "Old man, what do you think?"
"Hong Lai is indeed a capable person."
Mr. Hong and Ye Fan looked at each other, their eyelids drooped slightly, and after a while, they suddenly spoke.
"Okay, let Hong Lai temporarily serve as the chairman of the joint venture company! Hong Zhan will continue to succeed me and temporarily serve as the acting chairman of Huabang Cuisine.
Please take care of the next work, I'm a little tired.
Xianxian, help me go back to rest."
"Yes, Grandpa."
Hong Xianxian gritted her teeth and stared at Ye Fan, wishing that fire would burst out of her eyes.
It's a pity that grandpa accepted Ye Fan's proposal, leaving her unable to vent her feelings.
Hong Zhan had a strange expression and didn't understand why Ye Fan said such words.
However, he breathed a little sigh of relief.
He has lived for most of his life and knows very well how much weight he has.
In terms of ability, he is not bad, not mediocre.
Just letting him take charge of such a large company really made him feel tired and tired.
In addition, his own physical condition was not good. During the time when his father was ill, his physical strength was greatly exhausted.
If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive my father, and maybe the white-haired man will give away the black-haired man.
Hong Zhan didn't think wrongly. He didn't know why, but he believed in Ye Fan from the bottom of his heart and felt that it was impossible for him to harm himself.
Everyone present was basically confused, except Hong Lai who had a clear mind.
After Mr. Hong left, he rushed to Ye Fan, held his hand and said gratefully: "Mr. Ye, thank you very much!"
"Where, where."
Ye Fan chuckled and lowered his voice: "Since I agreed to form an alliance with Mr. Hong, I will spare no effort to support you.
The next step depends on Mr. Hong. If Mr. Hong makes it difficult for me, there is nothing I can do.
After all, the old man is still here, so I can’t interfere too much in your Huabang Cuisine’s internal affairs. It all depends on Mr. Hong’s own performance!”
"This is natural. I will definitely live up to Mr. Ye's expectations!"
Hong Lai was ecstatic and felt energetic all over his body.
Ye Fan is right, as long as the old man is around, the future of Huabang Cuisine is unknown.
Only by performing well and doing things beautifully can he gain greater power for himself.
However, Hong Lai never expected that Ye Fan had other thoughts in his mind.
Everyone sat down again and formally signed the joint venture contract.
This time, Huabang Cuisine has Hong Lai inside and Ye Fan outside. The two of them work together to extend the original contract.
A group of shareholders have no opinion and cannot express their opinions.
Since then, "Huafan International Fashion Catering Joint Venture Co., Ltd." has opened a new chapter.
Within the company, Huabangcai holds 51% of the shares, and Hong Lai serves as the first chairman.
Novin Fashion Catering holds 49% of the shares, and the general manager position is held by Ye Fan.
Later, the candidates for deputy general manager and major senior executives were finalized one by one, with Lei Jun, Yuan Yin, and Wu Xue taking up important positions respectively.
Hong Tu saw that the cooperation was going smoothly, and he was so confused that he couldn't help it.
He couldn't understand why Ye Fan wanted to support his family, especially his son Hong Lai, who seemed to be closer than himself.
In fact, in Hong Tu's heart, Hong Lai has always been an idle rich second generation.
Although some temper has been established over the years, with a hammer on the left and a hammer on the right, things have been done here and there that are somewhat ineffective.
Hong Tu believes that Hong Lai is not doing his job properly.
Among those messy industries, where does Huabang Cuisine have a bright future?
He said it several times, but Hongse didn't listen at all.
As everyone knows, Hong Lai used the name of the Hong family to own three real estate companies, five small loan companies, more than a dozen nightclubs and dozens of restaurants in Chinatown.
He also owns some small stocks in Huabang Cuisine, and together, his assets have already exceeded those of his father.
It's ridiculous that Hong Tu thought that his son was messing around and bringing shame to him.
The cooperation meeting lasted all morning. At noon, everyone had dinner at a Chinese restaurant, and Ye Fan left immediately.
Wu Xue and the other three followed Hong Lai to inspect the store he selected.
At present, Hong Lai has rented 50 stores, all of which are located in the center of major blocks in Chinatown. They have strategic locations and dense crowds.
Not only that, he has also identified hundreds of stores in various major neighborhoods in New City. As long as these fifty stores show improvement, he will immediately continue to invest in the market.
Moreover, this is only the first step in the development plan of Hong Lai, and Chinatowns in other cities will follow.
Once New City's performance improves, he will fully enter the Xiaobai country market! Ye Fan separated from Wu Xue and the others, but did not return to the hotel immediately, but contacted Hong Zhan.
He came to the villa where Mr. Hong lived openly and without any hesitation.
Ye Fan knew that someone was following behind him.
Although he didn't know if it was someone sent by Hong Lai, Ye Fan was sure that it was definitely related to him.
It is very possible that his father Hong Tu sent him to keep an eye on him.
Rather than being sneaky, it's better to be honest.
Ye Fan parked the car at the door of the villa in a swagger. Hong Zhan and Hong Xianxian were already waiting at the door.
"Brother Hong, has the old man rested?"
Ye Fan got out of the car, smiled and shook hands with Hong Zhan.
"The old man has already fallen asleep. It will probably take a while before he wakes up."
Hong Zhan returns.
"That's it, then I'll just wait."
Ye Fan smiled.
"good."
Hong Zhan made a gesture of invitation, "Brother Ye, follow me to the study first. Let's drink tea and wait."
"Dad, why are you being so polite to him?"
Hong Xianxian gave Ye Fan a cold face, "If you ask me, he is not even qualified to enter!"
"Xianxian, don't be rude!"
Hong Zhan shouted low and scolded: "Brother Ye is not the kind of person you think!"
"Haha, thank you, Brother Hong, for understanding."
Ye Fan smiled.
Hong Xianxian's face became even more ugly. If she hadn't been worried about her father's face, she would have called someone to blast Ye Fan away.
In the distance, several people took in Hong Xianxian's expression.
They could not follow Ye Fan and the others into the villa, so they could only report back what they saw.
Ye Fan was walking in the garden of the villa, looking sideways at the corner of the alley across the street, with a sneer on his lips.
However, it was said that Hong Zhan received the message at Huabang Cuisine headquarters and immediately called his son.
"Dad, I'm busy right now, what do you want?"
Hong Lai was still patrolling the streets with Wu Xue and the others. When he saw it was a call from his father, he quickly found a secluded place to answer it.
Hong Zhan got straight to the point and said in a deep voice: "Xiaoze, as soon as Mark finished the meeting, he went to see your uncle. Do you think he had any conspiracy?"
Hong Lai was speechless and rolled his eyes: "Dad, don't worry so much! It's reasonable for Mr. Ye to visit his uncle. It would be weird if he didn't!"
"But why did he go after the meeting?
He must be plotting something with his eldest brother!"
Hong Zhan remained unyielding.
Hong Lai gritted his teeth secretly and said impatiently: "Dad... I really admire you! Mr. Ye said two days ago that he was going to visit his uncle, but the uncle is still in the hospital, which is not convenient! Today, the uncle is discharged from the hospital. It would be difficult to do anything else.
Everyone should go and see it! After I finish the things at hand, I am going to visit my uncle.
Dad, I advise you to go and have a look, now that your uncle is still the leader of Huabang Cuisine, you'd better not show too much!"
What Hong Lai actually means is that if you want to do it, do it and don't drag me into the water.
Mr. Ye has finally pushed me to this position. If I am removed because of the conflict between you and my uncle, that would be a lie! Despite Hong Lai’s words of trust and gratitude in his heart, in fact, he should be careful.
Be prepared.
He knows that there is no such thing as a free lunch.
The reason why Ye Fan supports him is because his eldest brother cannot help him.
He has an agenda, so why aren't he using him?
Novum cooperates with Huabang Cuisine, and they are in alliance, so they can do anything in the world.
This is a recognized fact and there is nothing to deny.
If Ye Fan has no desires or desires, then Hong Lai will be like Hong Zhan, thinking everything is a conspiracy.
Hong Lai believes that the opportunity is in his own hands.
Now Ye Fan has secured an opportunity for him. Even if Ye Fan is taking advantage of him, he must seize it.
Otherwise, if we continue to do the same thing as before, using the Huabang cuisine brand to get a little bit from the east and a little bit from the west, when will it start?
When Hong Zhan listened to his son's lecture, his face turned extremely ugly, and his voice became colder and colder: "You brat, are you trying to teach me a lesson?"
"Dad, I'm not lecturing you, I'm just stating the facts!"
Hong Lai was also angry: "No matter what, the old man hasn't left yet, so you'd better not ruin my good deeds! You should consider it clearly. Now that we are cooperating, I will benefit the most! If you go against Mr. Ye, you will
