this man is not calm

Chapter 123
When mentioning his two daughters, the middle-aged man with a majestic expression all the year round also showed a hint of helplessness.

If you teach your son a lesson, you can still show the prestige of a "strict father" and serve him with sticks; it is difficult for your daughter, let me leave it alone, I am a little worried, let me take care of it, and I don't know where to start.

"Money, money, money, you know money. You treat them as wage earners working for you. If they give you a few carrots, they will work overtime and do things for you. Do everything you want?"

"What can I do? I don't have time to take care of it on weekdays, so I made you worry about it, but it turned out like this! If I get older, I don't know if I still have this home in my eyes..."

"Blame me! Mei Yingnian, you are not guilty of your heart, without me busying myself in running this house for you, what would you be today?"

"Okay, okay, just talk when you talk, you always talk about this!"

"Don't you think I'm annoying? You can bear it now, you don't need me anymore, right?"

"It doesn't mean that, don't think about it!"

The eldest son Mei Wenhui, who devoted himself to driving, couldn't help but sighed slightly, and persuaded in a low voice:
"It's hard to go home, take a rest, and don't quarrel."

Mei Wenhui has long been used to this occasional bickering scene. Regardless of the public occasions, the two often show the image of a loving couple, working hand in hand in the business world, and gaining wealth together, and they will also have conflicts behind their backs.

Fortunately, they are always bickering over some trivial matters, and there are very few times when they really turn their faces.

Mei Yingnian has long been used to his wife's petty temper, so she didn't make any more excuses, but changed the subject and said:

"The weather is hot, rest for a few days, and then find a cool place to escape the heat."

I didn't take much rest in the first half of the year. I was really tired after being busy for so long.

Coming back this time, vacation is one aspect, and I also have the idea of ​​checking out the deals at Meiying Studio.

The younger sister, who had had a problem with her second brother since she was a child, rarely came to ask for something. Mei Yingnian was also very surprised, and asked someone to inquire carefully about the cause and effect.

The little sister's little thought is not a big deal, it's only 20 million, not [-] billion, and it's affordable.

No matter how you look at it, you will not lose money, that is, the efficiency of capital utilization, and the problem of earning more and earning less, there is no major obstacle.

During the investigation, Mei Yingnian also discovered something very interesting.

"Wen Hui, let's go to discuss the preliminary transaction!"

"Me? Isn't it a bit too early! A deal of [-] million is not small..."

"In fact, there is not much room for bargaining on the details. Meiying Studio's offer is very honest. If you continue to make decisions, you are bullying people. Over there... you are not a small businessman who has no footsteps, and you have to be sympathetic when doing things. Offended It's not good for us to seize the commercial real estate market in Beijing."

Since the boss graduated, Mei Yingnian had put a lot of thought into cultivating a capable assistant and successor.

After working in several departments and branches at the grassroots level, he struggled for nearly a year in the position of a small leader before he was promoted to a middle-level cadre with some real power.

For an ordinary employee who has no footsteps, this promotion speed is simply amazing, but for the boss's son, it can only be said to be mediocre.

In the past two years, Mei Yingnian was still very satisfied with his eldest son's performance.

Although there are few amazing performances, his calm and capable style makes his colleagues who work with him unable to find any major faults.

Whether it will have the ability to develop in the future is not clear for the time being, but it seems that if it is properly cultivated, it can still be achieved.

For a "second-generation enterprise", this is very difficult.

Keeping the lower limit can at least ensure that the second son of the Mei family has worked hard for half his life, and will not be defeated by his own descendants.

If you want to go to the next level, you need not only ability, but also the support of noble people, the favor of fortune, and the assistance of strong generals, etc., to make things happen.

"The transaction of commercial properties and office buildings is just asking for directions. The operating conditions of the Meiying Studio are very bad, and there is no hope of improvement in the next few years. The theater was dumped to the Nan brothers, and the books and audio-visual production were sacrificed to Ah Shang. Accepted. Nearly [-] million funds have been withdrawn over there, and it’s hard to say how long it will last.”

The debt is too high.

A large part of the wages and debts are settled, and the rest is to supplement cash flow, maintain a minimum operation, and linger on.

Spend a little here, use a little there, the main business has not improved, and sooner or later there will be another crisis.

"Father means..."

"The land in the staff dormitory area, factories, studios, etc. is very valuable! It is really not easy to get a piece of land in the capital. It is also possible to go to the far city and the suburbs, but the 'snowball' rolls too slowly. If you hold the land development right in the core area, there is room for operation.”

"I understand!"

"These are not things you should worry about for the time being. You should familiarize yourself with the operating rules of the company first. It is too heavy a burden for you to pick up. However, you can experience its weight in advance. In the future, when you actually operate, you can do it well." I know it in my heart."

"Ok!"

Mei Wenhui also understands that he still has a lot of shortcomings, not to mention mastering a huge foundation, he is not even able to become a father's right-hand man.

When the knowledge in books is applied in practice, there will always be various problems. There is still a lot to learn for the "big gray" of the Mei family.

"Ah Shang's little cousin, it's really amazing. You've been doing business for tens of millions without making a sound."

"What I appreciate more is that he was able to resist the temptation and rejected the deal offered by Meiying Studio. This restraint is the biggest reliance to avoid stepping on the pit in the future."

When investigating the situation of Meiying Studio, Mei Yingnian also inquired about Jinxi Culture's asset allocation, main business status, operating liabilities, cash flow, and boss Jin Shang's ability to "change money".

After a special evaluation, Mei Yingnian was surprised to find that her nephew could not spend [-] million yuan, so she gritted her teeth and tightened her belt, and after two years of hard life, she would be able to recover.

After the Meiying Studio provided a low-interest loan for the agency, there were actually no substantial obstacles to the transaction.

Doesn't Kim Sang himself know?

I don't understand this, and I can't support a startup company with a valuation of hundreds of millions.

Even so, he declined.

After ruling out all the impossibilities, Mei Yingnian came up with a reason that was somewhat unacceptable, but very likely to be the truth.

"That little cousin of yours thinks that this business that is sure to make money without losing money is not worth it!"

"Is this... possible? The conclusion of the strategic investment consultant is that with an investment of 120 million yuan, the value of assets in five years will inflate by 140% to [-]%!"

"Yes! Ah Shang's actuarial ability may not be so accurate, but it can be seen that he can make a lot of money. Here, there is also a problem of capital utilization efficiency. Buying real estate, taking a free ride with the times, and spending time It’s good to earn dividends. However, if you use it for investment or increase your main business, you can earn more, so you don’t have to spend your precious early funds in real estate.”

"That is to say, Ah Shang feels that with his own ability, he can make more money by rationally allocating assets than spending [-] million yuan to buy shops and real estate?"

"Ok!"

"That's really..."

Mei Wenhui smiled slightly, half envious, half jealous and said,

"Uncle always brags that his son is a genius. I think he is really a monster. Although there are not many children who can take exams, there are not many. A talented man who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and poetry is not One or two. However, it’s the first time I’ve seen someone like him, who matured so precociously and has such a clear understanding of business operations, social reality, and the pros and cons of human nature.”

"The family has a long history! Although the old Huang's family is not as good as before, it is still one of the few big men in the country!"

Apart from this reason, Mei Yingnian couldn't find an acceptable excuse.

It is true that rich families are prone to produce dudes, but the proportion of talented people is not low.

The so-called good wishes of noble sons from poor families and golden phoenixes flying out of chicken coops are just wishful thinking of the general public.

The real situation is that the scholarly family who really cultivated and studied the heirlooms paid far more attention to the education of their own children, especially the direct heirs, than ordinary people imagined.

The so-called "farming" means mastering the fields, and "reading" means mastering knowledge and interpretation power.

If the family is big and the business is big, and the person at the helm is not smart enough or capable enough, that is the way to die.

It is easy to conquer the country, but it is difficult to defend the country. Who is this saying for?
The poor and humble family with a few acres of Susukida and a few thatched huts does not need any "dragon-slaying skills" to start a business, and it is enough to master a skill for making a living.

"Your uncle was also a smart person before, but he was dragged down by family affairs. I met him a few times, but I think he is really a talented person. He has been abandoned for more than ten years, and now he is starting to cheer up. In time."

"The clothing industry? It's not easy to fight in the Red Sea!"

Mei Wenhui understood something, and asked involuntarily,

"Father also thinks that such a traditional industry has a future?"

"There is no unprofitable industry in the world, only unprofitable businessmen. Is there any high-tech in our shipping and real estate businesses? Isn't it relying on scale advantages to lower costs and piling up capital to artificially set thresholds? Brother-in-law and his The vision is still very good. After the establishment of the World Trade Organization, there are opportunities for internationalization. With the great development of the country and the better life of the people, there will naturally be more demands. Eat delicious food, live A big house, living in the city, wearing fancy clothes, driving a luxury car..."

The Mei family's second son's business, after weighing its own advantages, aimed at the capital-intensive real estate industry, and prepared to do a big job.

Brother-in-law Jin Shi's capital is not that strong, and he doesn't have any high-tech, so he can only develop in the clothing industry with a little foundation. In fact, it is the most correct choice.

"Then... what is the direction of A Shang's company? I looked at it, and the business scope is in a mess, and I can't see any clue at all."

Facing her son's question, Mei Yingnian smiled reservedly.

"You're still young, you're tired of work every day, you don't have time to think, and you don't have time to go to the grassroots to see the real life of the citizens. It's normal that you don't understand..."

Looking at the somewhat familiar scenery outside, but feeling that the scenery has changed a bit, Mei Yingnian explained after a pause:

"What I just said, basic necessities of life, food, housing, transportation, eating, drinking, and entertainment, are still at the material level, but there are still great opportunities at the spiritual level. The warehouse knows the etiquette, and the food and clothing knows the honor and disgrace. A Shang's idea is probably to give consideration to books. , audio-visual products, clothing, and cultural products, which are low-cost and high-profit businesses, open up a breakthrough, and then consider the improvement of the Internet industry chain.”

In the beginning, Mei Yingnian only thought of her little nephew whom she hadn't seen for many years, because she was young and impulsive, and wanted to play some high-tech, spend money on Internet and other trendy things.

It's just like forming a band in college and enjoying the scenery in front of others, it's just a momentary enthusiasm.

It wasn't until someone wanted to buy the company that he thought was a joke for hundreds of millions in cash that he changed his mind.

This time, I took the opportunity to investigate carefully, and after careful consideration, I found out that the seemingly messy business line of Jin Shang's company is really not random.

For example, this time, after rejecting a big business with a profit of hundreds of millions, he truly felt that his little nephew's heart was really a little big.

A business worth nine figures, even a successful businessman like himself, has to be handled with caution. It is really impressive that Jin Shang can abandon it as soon as he says it.

"It's just that Ashan's business still lacks an important link..."

"What is missing?"

"Core competitiveness! I told you several times. When I was young, when I first went to sea, no one took me seriously. I did the hardest work and took the least money. Until one time..."

At this time, the wife next to me interrupted impatiently:

"How many times have I said it! Didn't you just encounter a storm, tie a rope, jump into the sea, and rescue the captain's nephew?"

"Don't interrupt, let me finish!"

Mei Yingnian argued embarrassingly,
"In the early years, going to sea was actually a very dangerous thing. If you want to be accepted, you have to have the qualifications to stand on the small team. Since then, the appreciation of the captain is one aspect. He is loyal and courageous. Dare to fight and fight is the image I set up. After I have my own boat, this personality is still in effect, coupled with the fairness of dealing with things and the style of clear rewards and punishments, I have gradually gained word of mouth, and the business is getting better and better. big."

In that era of vicissitudes and recklessness, personal charm is the foundation of Mei Yingnian's foothold. Now, with the capital of many years of hard work, she is ready to "dock". Some things have changed, and Mei Yingnian is also gradually Adapt to the new environment.

The maritime business has not given up yet, and the foundation on the shore has just begun to "build a nest". There are still many things to do in the future and a long way to go.

"Ah Shang's company hardly has any 'moat' now. Apart from his own talent, there are few bright spots. It's like someone who spent hundreds of millions to buy it a while ago. Although he can't sell it, will others just let it go?"

"Hurt someone with your own?"

Mei Wenhui immediately understood what his father meant.

If you can't buy the best one for [-] million, you can buy something similar, and then spend money to follow. Vicious competition will become a pure money-burning competition.
