"Weilan, we have no objection to you wanting to transfer the shares to Ye Tian, but now the company is facing a critical moment of life and death. Isn't it inappropriate for you to do this?"
After Song Weilan introduced Ye Tianhou, the venue was silent for a while, and then a voice rang out.
Although he spoke fluent English, the speaker was an old Chinese man, probably in his fifties, with a Chinese-character face, giving off an air of calm but intimidation.
"Brother Hua, I didn't say I wanted to transfer the shares to Ye Tiantian!"
Song Weilan sighed. This man's name is Zhao Hua. He is one of the old men who followed her to conquer the world. He is also a shareholder of the company. Even he has this idea. I am afraid that people in the company are already panicking.
"My son is very good. He is much better than me. These assets may not be taken seriously by him."
Song Weilan's eyes swept across the faces of several Song disciples, and then said: "I called everyone to a meeting today to announce something."
After hearing Song Weilan's words, Zhao Hua stood up and said apologetically to Song Weilan: "Chairman, I'm sorry, I thought too much."
"Brother Hua, please sit down."
Song Weilan waved her hand and said: "Everyone has been working hard during this period, and the company has also made great progress. Now we just have to wait for the return of the funds, and the difficulties faced by the company will no longer exist."
"Chairman, we know this, but the funds are under the supervision of the US government and we won't be able to get them back for a while. And the investment in China and Africa cannot be interrupted. We are still facing a funding gap."
The people in the conference room were all Song Weilan's trusted old subordinates, and they were all well aware of the difficulties the company had encountered. The fund trusteeship some time ago had an almost fatal blow to the company.
Song Weilan nodded and said: "I will figure out a solution to the funding problem. Everyone is very tired during this period. I decided to organize all the employees of the group headquarters to go to Brazil for vacation in a week!"
"Vacation?"
"What kind of vacation are you taking now?"
After hearing Song Weilan's words, everyone in the conference room had a look of astonishment on their faces. None of them expected that this was what the chairman was going to announce.
As a multinational group, the benefits are of course very good. In the past, the company would often organize trips, but at this juncture, no one is really in the mood to go out for fun.
"Actually, I also have selfish motives..."
Hearing everyone's objections, Song Weilan glanced at Ye Tian and said, "As you all know, Ye Tian has not been with me since he was a child. I owe him a lot, so I also want to take this opportunity to spend time with my son.
"
"Women are born to act!"
Ye Tian, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he heard his mother's words. Just half an hour ago, his mother asked him to play by himself, so as not to delay her work!
"Chairman, you can go and accompany Mr. Ye, we don't need to rest!"
"Yes, Chairman, just take some rest and we can work as usual!"
Song Weilan's reason made it difficult for those present to say anything. After all, it is only natural that a mother should accompany her son, and in the minds of many Americans, family is often more important than career.
"Thank you for your understanding, but everyone has been under a lot of pressure recently. I think... everyone should relax, otherwise I will rest by myself and feel very guilty..."
Song Weilan laughed and said: "That's it. The cost of this trip will be borne by me personally. In addition, as long as employees who have worked in the company for more than three months will get the opportunity to travel!"
As the chairman of the company, Song Weilan cannot make an immediate decision on relocating the headquarters, but she can still make the decision when it comes to proposing company benefits, not to mention that she has to pay for it herself.
"This... well, this period of time is indeed too stressful!"
After hearing Song Weilan's words, the company's decision-makers all nodded in agreement.
After all, this is a benefit for the entire group headquarters. If they insist on objecting, the lower-level employees will definitely complain if they find out about it. It is better to go out and relax.
The group has now been on the right track. A ten-day vacation will not cause any real losses, not to mention that they can still work normally during the vacation.
"Okay, Alice will send the notice later, a week later..."
Song Weilan looked at Ye Tian, paused and then said: "In one week, all branches will operate normally, and the headquarters will have a ten-day break. Everyone must handle all the work at hand during this week!"
"Yes, Chairman!"
Song Weilan's prestige was reflected at this moment. After everyone agreed, the meeting was considered over. The heads of various departments left one after another and returned to their departments to announce the vacation notice.
"Weilan, I thought it was a rumor some time ago, but I didn't expect it to be true. Your son is already this old?"
The old man named Zhao Hua did not leave, but walked to Song Weilan, stretched out his hand to Ye Tian, and said: "Young man, your mother has been hiding this from us for more than twenty years!"
"Brother Hua, why are you talking to a child like this?"
Song Weilan laughed when she heard this, pulled her son over and said, "Ye Tian, this is your Uncle Zhao, the financial person in charge of the entire group. When my mother founded this company, Uncle Zhao was here!"
"Hello, Uncle Zhao!" Ye Tian said hello politely, but he was guessing in his heart that this Uncle Zhao was also one of my mother's suitors back then, right?
"Okay, the young man is very energetic, better than that boy Song Xiaolong..."
Zhao Hua smiled and nodded, turned to Song Weilan and said, "Weilan, I wasn't targeting Ye Tian just about the shares. Now the company can no longer withstand the shock!"
No matter what company he is in, finance is always the top priority. Zhao Hua is also Song Weilan's absolute direct descendant. He has always disliked Song Xiaolong in the past, but due to the relationship between Song Weilan and Song Xiaolong's aunt and nephew, he has never been able to say it out.
.
"Brother Hua, I know."
Song Weilan sighed and said: "This kid really doesn't want those shares, otherwise I wouldn't have put the company under trusteeship, let alone these things."
"Mom, this is none of my business. Don't try to get involved with me." Ye Tian rolled his eyes when he heard this. How come he was rambling here and there when it was his responsibility?
Zhao Hua looked at Ye Tian with some surprise. He originally thought that Song Weilan was just talking for a moment, but he didn't expect that the young man in front of him was really unwilling to inherit that huge wealth.
"Okay, Brother Hua, let's not talk about this anymore."
Song Weilan waved her hand and said: "Brother Hua, I would like to know how much shortfall there is in the investment in Central Africa, and when will the funds under supervision be recovered?"
In fact, the problem of Song Weilan Company is not that big. Some time ago, Song Xiaolong and others took advantage of the loopholes in fund custody to invest more than 10 billion US dollars into a fictitious project.
Although Song Weilan used some means to freeze the more than 10 billion U.S. dollars, she also cannot use the money now.
As a result, the company had a big problem with its capital turnover, and several projects it was investing in were unable to operate due to lack of funds.
"Chairman, a total of six projects in Central Africa, Arabia and Russia have been stopped..."
When it came to business, Zhao Hua's title also changed. He calculated in his mind and said with a wry smile: "If we want to start work, I'm afraid it will cost at least about six billion U.S. dollars, and the frozen money will probably be at least
It will take a year to get it back!”
"Six billion? Do you need that much?"
Although Song Weilan was mentally prepared, she was still shocked by this figure. She was able to raise more than one billion from domestic sources, but the gap was still huge.
"At least six billion."
Zhao Hua took a breath and said: "The Russian side has given an ultimatum. If the oil pipeline paving work is not carried out, they will take back the project and hand it over to the Japanese. Then our initial investment of more than 3 billion US dollars will be lost.
It’s gone!”
"Brother Hua, I won't hide it from you. I still have a way to spend more than one billion US dollars. Six billion US dollars, I really can't raise that much money!"
Song Weilan's eyebrows were tightly knitted, and an unhealthy blush flashed across her face. During this period, she was also overworked and mentally exhausted.
"Mom, is the problem serious?" Ye Tian, who had been silent all this time, hated seeing his relatives suffer the most. He had originally made up his mind to ignore it, so he could only speak out.
"Well, the losses will be huge, and the company will probably decline." Song Weilan nodded sadly. This was her hard work for more than 20 years.
"Okay, I have more than five billion here, you can take it first and use it!"
Seeing his mother's sad look, Ye Tian took his hand out of his pocket and said with a look of reluctance: "Mom, let's agree first that when you have money, you have to pay it back to me immediately.
...I paid for this money with my life!"
Looking at the bank card in Ye Tian's hand, Song Weilan's eyes widened and she said, "More than five billion? Ye Tian, I'm talking about U.S. dollars, you... don't joke with mom!"
"How can I have the time to joke with you? It's just US dollars. Do you want it or not? I'll take it back!" Ye Tian muttered angrily: "They say windfalls don't come with a pinch of salt. I haven't spent any of this money, so I'll give it away."
Got it!"
There was an unwritten rule in the Qimen in the past, that is, money gained from scavenging or gambling must be spent quickly, otherwise it will bring disaster to oneself.
Like some people from strange families before the liberation, they went out to eat, drink and gamble when they got money. Although they were living their lives with their heads in their hands and taking it one day at a time, there was also this factor in it.
