As a man, you must learn to accept defeat in tactics.
This is real life wisdom.
Seeing Jiang Fan arrive, Jian Zhongwen took the lead in getting up from the dining table where he had just sat, and with a smile, he welcomed Jiang Fan to his side and sat down next to him.
In addition to Jian Zhongwen, there were more than a dozen people sitting on the long table, all of whom seemed to be important figures in the Jian family.
Mr. Jian was not among them. Jian Zhongwen saw Jiang Fan's doubts. After asking Jiang Fan to sit down, he explained with a smile: "Although my father's body and bones are getting better and better, according to the health doctor's advice, whether it is eating habits or work and rest,
Time must be kept at a standard that is very different from ours. Therefore, my father usually eats alone, and he should be listening to music in the study now."
"That's it, that's good. At such an old age, you should live a life of your own."
Jiang Fan smiled and answered.
Jian Jiayi had already sent the tiger bones to Mr. Jian's study. When she came back, she sat on the other side of Jiang Fan and gave Jiang Fan a fierce look.
This glare made Jiang Fan feel even more guilty. He quickly changed the topic again and began to introduce himself to other members of the Jian family at the table.
Jian Zhongwen was a little surprised by Jian Jiayi's attitude towards Jiang Fan.
But seeing that Jiang Fan himself didn't seem to mind, he just regarded it as a little fun among young people, ignored it, and introduced the others to Jiang Fan with a smile.
Through Jian Zhongwen's introduction and Jian Jiayi's occasional reminders and explanations beside him, Jiang Fan quickly figured out the identities of these dozen people.
I have to say that even though the Jian family is quite large, there are a dozen or so people in the family, all of them are important people in the family, but in fact, there are only a few of them who can have a good reputation outside...
Jian Zhongwen is already the person with the highest position in the system in this large family. In addition, among these dozen people, there is also a main hall of Qingshui Yamen and two officials of a certain ministry in the capital.
The rest of the people are basically doing business.
Only one person serves as a middle-level leader in a large central enterprise, and the other person controls most of the Jian family's family assets and controls three listed companies with good profits, including an energy company with a monopoly.
.
All the money Jian Jiayi paid to buy ginseng from Jiang Fan came from these family assets.
The rest can only be regarded as a small business, and eventually there will be a tens of millions of transactions.
Although strictly speaking, the main hall, at this level, is not too small in terms of place.
The main hall is already the chief official of a city, and the main office is the head of a county. In ancient times, it was also the level of Bailihou.
But if you throw it into the capital city, it's obviously not enough.
Even Jian Zhongwen, a leader of one department and a truly powerful person, has too many people in the capital that he needs to worry about.
Well, the main hall of Qingshui Yamen and the main offices of ministries and commissions. In a place like the capital, it is not too much to say that they are grassroots officials.
After gaining a detailed understanding of these characters of the Jian family, Jiang Fan truly understood why the life and death of Mr. Jian was so important to the Jian family.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Jian family has simply begun to decline.
If Mr. Jian really dies and loses the jade pillar, the Jian family will no longer have any core competitiveness.
It is conceivable that in the next few years, as Jian Zhongwen gradually ages, what consequences await the Jian family if they are unable to go further.
Many times, fate is so helpless, there is no way to retreat!
The atmosphere of the meal was quite good. More than a dozen people exchanged glasses with each other. When the wine was full, one person suddenly said to Jiang Fan: "Xiao Fan, since you are not considered an outsider, then Uncle Six will not hide it."
Come on, there is something that Uncle Six needs to talk to you about."
Jiang Fan had just drank half a glass of wine. He was stunned when he heard this. He put down his glass and listened attentively: "Uncle Six, please speak."
"It's not a big deal. Did you fire an employee named Wang Wenlong a few days ago? Xiaofan, to tell you the truth, Wang Wenlong is my brother-in-law. The reason why I threw him into the extraordinary drink was because I wanted to give him
Find something serious to do."
"I understand this kid. Although he is usually unreliable and carefree, he doesn't have any bad intentions. I originally hoped to find a place for him in Extraordinary Drinks and just raise him. But I didn't expect that not long after I started working.
Well, you were fired directly by Xiaofan. Xiaofan... we are all part of the family, so we won’t be short of food for him, right?"
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and said.
Jiang Fan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Uncle Sixth, does he know why I fired Wang Wenlong?"
"I know, he told me. But if I want to see it... it's not a big deal. After all, he has good intentions. Since the goods you provide can no longer meet production, then look for more suppliers. This is the purchasing department.
After all, what is your responsibility? Isn’t it to make Extraordinary Drinks make more money?”
The middle-aged man continued in a rather casual tone: "And Chaofan Drinks is your company. Although our Jian family took all the initial investment, after all, you occupy the majority of the shares. Make money for Chaofan Drinks.
Isn’t it just to make money for you? In order to let you make more money, he was fired by you. There is no such reason in the world. "
Jian Jiayi couldn't stand listening anymore. Just as she was about to speak, she was stopped by Jiang Fan who was standing beside her.
Shaking his head at Jian Jiayi, Jiang Fan looked at the middle-aged man with a smile and said: "Uncle Six, what your brother-in-law is going to do will destroy the foundation of Extraordinary Drinks. In your opinion, this is not a big deal? I
I originally thought that what your brother-in-law did was just because of his own stupidity, but now it seems that it is entirely because you have not figured out what is really important about extraordinary drinks!"
"If this is the case, then I will 100% support and approve of the dismissal of all Jian family related personnel from their positions in the company! Kill these dangers in advance before trouble occurs, so as to prevent the extraordinary drink from being corroded from the inside. This
It’s a very wise decision.”
These words were very rude.
The middle-aged man's face looked quite ugly when he heard this. He gritted his teeth and said, "Xiaofan, what you said is wrong! Adding more suppliers will at most make the effect of those medicinal materials less effective, but it is not completely ineffective.
It can’t have any adverse consequences on the buyer’s body, and it has nothing to do with destroying the foundation of the company!”
"Don't you just want to dominate the supply channel so that you can truly control the entire company? Who doesn't understand this, so why bother looking for these unreasonable reasons? Let me tell you, the initial investment in Extraordinary Drinks was all funded by our Jian family!
No matter what method you want to use to squeeze out our Jian family's shares in it, it is impossible!"
"Bang!"
Jian Zhongwen slammed the table hard, looked at the middle-aged man with a gloomy face, and said angrily: "Old Liu! What nonsense are you talking about here!"
