In the car going back, neither Li Jianhui nor Chen Yulian looked very good.
For Zhou Pengfei, Li Jianhui definitely had the kindness to meet him. Because of the platform provided by Li Jianhui, Zhou Pengfei was able to come to England to show off his talents, and he was later awarded a knighthood.
And in order to show that he valued him, he also deliberately let his eldest son have a baby marriage with Zhou Pengfei's daughter, and even gave Lanfeng 5% of the shares in Lanfeng Holdings while Zhou Pengfei stayed in Xinjian for life.
Despite the continuous dilution of Blue Maple Holdings' industrial shares, Blue Maple Holdings' total assets still exceed 200 billion Hong Kong dollars, because this 5% share allows Zhou Pengfei's assets to be comparable to those of Hong Kong's first-class families.
But even with such generous treatment, he still couldn't retain Zhou Pengfei, which was really difficult for Li Jianhui to understand.
He also didn't know what price the Grosvenor family and even the Rose Consortium had given to make Zhou Pengfei give up his tens of billions and choose to leave the Xinjian Group.
Chen Yulian was in an equally bad mood. Everything had been decided. In the future, her eldest son Li Zhipeng would marry Zhou Pengfei's daughter and take over the Blue Feng Holdings Group. With the support of her father-in-law Zhou Pengfei and mother-in-law Grosvenor family, it would undoubtedly be much smoother, and
Subsequent development will also have fewer obstacles.
But now that Zhou Pengfei has chosen to leave the Xin Jian Department, this will cause great uncertainty to the marriage of the two little guys, and it is hard to say whether there is still a need for marriage.
When Li Jianhui and Li Jianhui returned to the Xinhui Hotel suite from the manor, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and it was already past six o'clock in the morning in Xiangjiang at this time.
After washing up, Li Jianhui did not take a rest. Instead, he called Wu Jiankun, Liu Xiaoyan, Shi Shaoming, Chen Huiya, and their families one by one.
Now that Zhou Pengfei is leaving, Li Jianhui naturally needs some preparations and adjustments. The information of the Political and Economic Research Office will definitely no longer be available for Zhou Pengfei to review. At the same time, Zhou Pengfei will be relieved of his position as executive deputy director of the Political and Economic Research Office.
Also removed was his position as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Yuntao Holdings Group and President of the Group. Su Jiangting was temporarily in charge of this group, assisted by Liu Xiaoyan, and arrangements would be made after he returned to Xiangjiang.
After these arrangements were made, Li Jianhui called Zhou Pengfei.
…
In Villa No. 36 of Jinghua Village, Zhou Pengfei didn't rest all night. After making that decision, his heart never calmed down.
As the veteran of the Xinjian Department, he is very aware of the strength of the Xinjian Department, and Li Jianhui is not a kind person, otherwise the Xinjian Department would not be able to develop to its current scale.
Moreover, he has never forgotten that Li Jianhui is inextricably linked to 14K. Although he himself has not joined 14K, his status in 14K is no lower than that of various commentators.
Although 14K has changed careers over the years, there is still no shortage of desperadoes, and these people are very willing to work hard for Li Jianhui.
And this is not what worries Zhou Pengfei the most. The real deterrent of the Xin Jian Department is the special operations team. Although the main task is to protect the safety of the Li family and the senior officials of the Xin Jian Department working in special areas, as long as Li Jianhui gives an order,
Able to perform other tasks.
Zhou Pengfei, who had been anxious since yesterday afternoon, finally received some news this morning that gave him some peace of mind.
The Duke of Grosvenor informed on the phone that he had reached an agreement with Li Jianhui and that Li Jianhui would not stop him from leaving Xinjian.
Zhou Lisa, who was accompanying him at the side, said after he hung up the phone: "I have always told you not to worry. With my cousin coming forward, this matter will definitely be solved easily.
And you shouldn't feel sorry for the shares. Although they are nominally given to you, in fact they are just borrowed from you and eventually given to their grandsons.
Although his grandson will also be our grandson, he still belongs to the Li family and has nothing to do with us.
Moreover, you are required to work for them for the rest of your life. Our family can only be a vassal of the Li family. No matter how much assets we have, our status will not improve.
You should have had a deep understanding during your return to Xiangjiang. Our combined assets far exceed those of the first-class wealthy families in Xiangjiang, and are not even lower than those of some top wealthy families. However, our family's status is not even as good as that of some second-rate wealthy families.
By choosing to leave Xinjian, although we may seem to have lost a lot of assets, our family will be able to achieve better development, our children will not need to be inferior to others in the future, and our daughter will be able to make her own decisions about her marriage."
"You know I don't care about the shares. I once said that I felt uneasy about taking the shares.
After all, the development of Lanfeng Holdings was mainly due to Li Sheng's command from behind. I was just following orders. It was also because there were few people under the Xinjian Department that I had such an opportunity.
Therefore, I said at that time that the shares would be inherited by my daughter and the child born to Li Zhipeng.
The reason I chose to leave this time was because I was really embarrassed within the Xinjian Department. Since the relationship between the Donghua Society and the Rose Consortium began to become competitive or even hostile, it was destined that I would no longer be able to stay in some important holding companies.
.
With my current place of origin and title, it is impossible for me to be in charge of affairs in the Greater China region.
As a result, my position has never been easy to arrange. It can be said that it was a helpless move for Li Sheng to ask me to take over the Political and Economic Research Office.
It’s just that I’m not too keen on the work of the Political and Economic Research Office, and I don’t want you, your children, and your parents to be harmed because of this work.
After all, many things done by the Political and Economic Research Office are not only shady, but also offend many forces, including not only business opponents, but also the national government.
Of course, the most important thing is that I respect your intention. Since giving up your career cannot bring about the satisfaction of my work, then I will give up this job and our family will return to London together.
At that time, you will still be the president of your Grosvenor Group, and I will start my own business and save a fortune for my children."
Zhou Lisa was very moved when she heard this. In fact, she had always known that Zhou Pengfei was not an ambitious person. If it were not for herself, I believe Zhou Pengfei would never choose to leave the Xinjian Department.
But as a direct member of the Grosvenor family, and now as a hereditary Viscount in England, she has her own pride in her heart. She will never allow her family to become a vassal of other families, and her daughter's future marriage should not be a victim.
Moreover, she never believed that the development of Blue Maple Holdings Group to its current scale was only due to Li Jianhui. The direction of development may need to be recognized, but without Zhou Pengfei's overall development, how could Blue Maple Holdings be where it is today.
Although Zhou Pengfei will have to start from scratch when he returns to London, with the full support of the Grosvenor family and even the Rose Consortium, I believe that within a few years, the Zhou family's own industrial group will be established.
When the time comes for the Zhou family to return to Xiangjiang and use it as a bridgehead to enter the mainland market, their position will no longer be as embarrassing as it is now.
I don’t know how long the couple had been chatting, but the phone suddenly rang, bringing their chat to an abrupt end.
