1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 588 Do You Hate Me?

Although the structure and process rules of Dezhou Urban Property Fund Company determine that it is impossible for General Manager Yang Mo to have the final say like he did in Dahua Company, in fact, there is no difference in the actual implementation process.

Yang Mo knows how to use his power to pressure others, and he also knows how to make the general manager's temporary decision-making power a daily routine through constant troubles.

With such a huge and sensitive super project as an excuse to help the disaster-stricken areas in East China, Zhao Yongde, the only one who could check Yang Mo in terms of power, has basically given up the idea of ​​restraining this guy after more than half a year of partnership... Even if he hadn't, facing such a multi-billion-dollar project that had staked his entire fortune on it, he wouldn't dare to restrain Yang Mo at this moment.

Therefore, under Yang Mo's extremely strong attitude and Zhao Yongde's usual appeasement, the resolution on expanding the new department at the Strategic Decision-making Committee and the Party Group Meeting was quickly passed, and the social recruitment plan to be in charge of Zhuo Mali was also finalized on the spot.

Fortunately, although this expansion plan has basically blocked the channels for horizontal transfers, only the most ordinary employees are recruited from the society. The appointment of all middle and senior management cadres of the six newly expanded special departments will be studied separately, and Yang Mo also promised that these newly added management positions will not all be transferred from Dahua Company, which can be regarded as leaving some hope for others. Otherwise, even with Zhao Yongde's cooperation, these resolutions would not be voted on and passed so smoothly.

Although Yang Mo guessed that the reason why those people in the Strategic Decision-making Committee did not jump as much as before was probably because they felt that the fact that the management positions of the expanded department were not fully controlled by Dahua Company clearly highlighted Yang Mo's talent dilemma, and their opportunity to increase their voice in the company would soon come.

But this is not important.

The important thing is...

………………

"Old Song, do you hate me?"

Scalding the bowl, rolling the cup, adding tea, pouring water, waking up the tea, and washing the tea. With the smooth and flowing technique, Yang Mo, who looked a little lazy, actually had a bit of the elegance of a free and easy crane.

However, this leisurely and carefree look, coupled with such a sudden remark, sounded like a thunderclap to Song Wenxuan's ears.

"Boss, where did you get this from?"

Song Wenxuan looked confused and stunned, even wondering if his boss was possessed by Huang Daxian: "Why should I hate you, boss?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something, and his face immediately became tense: "Boss, is it...did people outside say anything gossipy about me in Yokohama during the past six months?"

The words "Yokohama" and "outsider" are emphasized very subtly.

Although Song Wenxuan didn't know why Yang Mo suddenly asked such a heart-piercing question, the first thing he had to do was to eliminate the two suspicions that he needed to avoid the most.

The first is the suspicion about Miss Mu.

You have to know that the Mu and Song families are not only staunch allies, they almost became in-laws, and it is no secret that Song Wenxuan liked Miss Mu before.

Although Miss Mu has already married Yang Mo, given the Mu family's upbringing and Miss Mu's personality, it is impossible for her to do anything inappropriate, but snatching a woman from the boss of the family is a taboo after all.

So what he meant just now was very clear. Although he also stayed in the island country for half a year because of the China-Japan Economic Promotion Council, his office was in Chinatown in Yokohama, while the office of Dahua Company where Miss Mu worked was in Tokyo. The two places were tens of thousands of miles apart, and their work coordination was mostly based on telephone communication. Those unfounded gossips were absolutely untrustworthy.

Secondly, it is about one’s own position.

Even though the bubble burst, the island country is still the world's second largest economy and a huge piece of fat. If you do something there, you can make much more money than in China. Therefore, in the past six months, Miss Mu has indeed developed a market with a scale of tens of billions of yen; but Song Wenxuan, who leads a large number of elites in foreign exchange and futures trading, as well as capital operation and asset transfer in the China-Japan Economic Promotion Council, has also made extremely impressive results and accumulated considerable capital.

Yang Mo is his boss, and he is also the boss of others. As they are all bosses, they naturally know that the boss hates it most when the subordinates become too independent and disobey him, or even take a group of younger brothers to fly alone;
Objectively speaking, if we ignore the layers of complicated cause and effect, in terms of strength and resources alone, Song Wenxuan does have the initial qualifications to go solo... At the very least, in the field of finance and futures, his achievements are still impressive, and the Dongying Command has corresponding business units.

Of course, all his achievements and resources were obtained based on the platform of China-Japan Economic Promotion Association, and the island country enterprises of China-Japan Economic Promotion Association actually recognized Yang Mo rather than him, Song Wenxuan. This situation has become more obvious since the meeting between Yang Mo and Hashimoto Shu unexpectedly achieved positive results. Just considering this level of cause and effect, it is absolutely stupid for Song Wenxuan to want to set up his own business.

Therefore, the three words "outsiders" that Song Wenxuan emphasized just now clearly stated his position... We are one people, you are my boss, and I have no intention of flying solo.

………………

Yang Mo looked at Song Wenxuan's natural expression with a playful look on his face: "Old Song, the relationship between the Lin and Song families has always been very good. You are almost at the stage of getting married now. Just when your hotel project is expanding rapidly, I transferred Lin Luosu to Mexico to develop the market... Don't you hate me?"

Here Yang Mo used "it’s almost time to get married" instead of "it’s almost time to get married at age". There is a huge difference between the two.

Although the androgynous eggplant girl is actually a pretty girl with regular features upon closer inspection, a woman with Song Wenxuan's background and looks would definitely not lack for a one-night stand; therefore, for him, marriage is only a developmental need, not a physical or psychological need.

Hearing this, Song Wenxuan smiled bitterly, "Boss, please stop joking with me. You know that although my dad and Uncle Lin both want me to be with Luoluo, I have always treated this tomboy Luoluo as a good brother and sister. We have been friends for more than ten years, how can I change that all of a sudden?"

"To be honest, I don't know what you think, Boss, but as far as I'm concerned, it's actually a good thing that you can transfer Luo Luo to Mexico... For a family like ours, marriage is a big deal. At least I need some time to adjust my attitude towards her."

As he spoke, Song Wenxuan took out a cigarette from the Wrigley brand he brought back from the island country from his pocket and gave it to the man: "As for my hotel chain project..."

"Boss, you know what? After going through this half year, I finally understand why you looked down on us in such a disdainful manner."

Sighing softly, Song Wenxuan took out a lighter and lit Yang Mo's cigarette: "This world is so wonderful, this era is so magnificent. Although we were born in China, a country that is not rich at the moment, we have a platform that most people dream of... On such a convenient platform, we, who come from the oil system, spend all day thinking about those little things. No wonder you looked down on us before."

Song Wenxuan exhaled a puff of green smoke, his expression was a little subtle: "The world is big, and life can be wonderful. Perhaps for me half a year ago, that hotel chain project was a rare and outstanding project. But after witnessing the rise and fall of buildings in the island country every day, I realized that with the business philosophy, personnel training level, and management style of the people below, those hotel chains are nothing more than a pile of heavy assets tied with gunpowder barrels that may become a financial black hole at any time... After all, my current work focus is on the China-Japan Economic Promotion Association. Even if I am transferred back to China now, I can't spare much energy to rectify it."

At this point, Song Wenxuan looked at Yang Mo very sincerely: "So, if Uncle Shen will not give me much support for the hotel chain project because of Luo Luo, this may not be a bad thing in my opinion... If the sunk cost of this project is too high, then I won't have the courage to cut the Gordian knot at that time."

Looking at Song Wenxuan's sincere expression, Yang Mo sighed in his heart. As expected, he is the focus of the Song family's training. His growth rate is... too fast.

He didn't believe that Song Wenxuan couldn't see that he transferred Lin Luosu to Mexico because he didn't want to see the rapidly expanding Song family now completely tied to the Lin family;
But Song Wenxuan never mentioned a word from beginning to end, and even flattered himself sincerely from his perspective.

These second-generation people with profound family backgrounds know very well how to flatter others.

Thinking of this, Yang Mo raised his lips in a strange arc: "So, even if you did an excellent job this year, your name is still not on the recommended list this time... You don't hate me, right?"

Recommended list?

Song Wenxuan thought of the recent rumor that was almost confirmed, and his eyelids could not help but twitch twice: "Boss, to be honest, if I say that I have no thoughts about being promoted to deputy director, I must be lying... After all, you know the situation of my family. As the only son in the family, I am more eager to make progress than anyone else."

Song Wenxuan sighed again, and the expression on his face quickly turned serious: "But I believe that compared to the superficial level of the title, some practical things are more important!"

"So, the reason why the boss didn't report my name together with Sister Zhuo's..."

“Either, my current ability is not enough to be placed on a higher platform and I need to further improve myself;”

"Or the boss has other plans for me. And although this plan is very important, it needs to be kept secret, so it is not convenient for the person in charge to be too high-ranking!"

After confidently stating his guess, Song Wenxuan looked at Yang Mo eagerly: "Boss, am I right?"

Looking at the expectation in Song Wenxuan's eyes that was hard to tell whether it was real or fake, Yang Mo smiled.

Then he nodded slowly: "Old Song, if nothing unexpected happens with Xiaoya, tomorrow we will be able to officially sign a three-year agricultural and sideline products forward contract with the Nanase Chamber of Commerce with a total value of 50 billion. As a member of the negotiation team, you are aware of this situation, right?"

Song Wenxuan nodded: "That's indeed the case. In fact, the contract could have been officially signed yesterday, but considering the need to cooperate with Mr. Kaibu's schedule in China and the topics of the accompanying negotiation delegation to expand the influence within the island country, both parties tacitly suppressed it. But if nothing unexpected happens, tomorrow, or at the latest the day after tomorrow, the time will be ripe."

Yang Mo hummed softly: "This cooperation is very important, even more important than many people think... This super-large forward contract not only brings a large amount of funds to our Dezhou area, but also enables the East China Aid Project to proceed smoothly;"

"More importantly, we can use this massive package of forward contracts to rapidly accelerate industrial upgrading in Texas!"

He turned his head and glanced at Song Wenxuan. "Old Song, industrial upgrading does not only include upgrading of the manufacturing industry, but also includes upgrading of the agricultural industry... And you have been to an island country and have seen the island country's refined agriculture. You should know that agriculture, which is considered to be a low-end industry in the eyes of outsiders, is actually a high-tech industry. Once the agricultural industry can be rapidly upgraded, it can in turn greatly stimulate the upgrading of the manufacturing industry and scientific research fields through demand... The first, second and third industries are interdependent, and there is absolutely no reason to separate them."

Song Wenxuan nodded sincerely.

What Yang Mo said became very easy to understand after being confirmed by examples from the island country. Even a junior high school student in later generations could explain it in an orderly manner. However, in today's country, there are not many people who can truly understand the dialectical relationship and concrete connection here.

Seeing him nod, Yang Mo's tone became heavier: "But we all know that simply upgrading agriculture is difficult, and simply upgrading manufacturing is also difficult. It is even more difficult to link agriculture and manufacturing to promote each other's spiral upgrade!"

“During the specific implementation process, it is not only difficult to find the common endogenous interest driving points between the two industries, but also extremely difficult to balance;”

"More importantly, even if a common interest driving point is found, there will still be a lag in transmission; if either party does not receive the positive feedback it deserves within a limited time, it will greatly dampen its own enthusiasm, and then respond negatively, which will quickly turn into a driving obstacle for a specific sub-project between the two industries, and then hinder the belated cooperation of the other industry, and so on and so forth."

"Old Song, did you ever buy those balancing balls that you put on the table when you were a kid?"

"Once the string of stainless steel beads starts to move, it will take at least half an hour to return to static balance... This is the difficulty we are about to face!"

Shaking off the cigarette ash, Yang Mo looked at Song Wenxuan seriously: "However, there is a way to avoid this kind of lagging negative conduction that keeps going back and forth... It's very simple. Don't let the string of beads swing freely endlessly. When you find that the beads are moving, just reach out and restore them to balance!"

"Although in this process, the hand that extends out will objectively lose energy, which is the so-called thankless work, but you also have to consider whose hand this is, whether the beads belong to the owner of that hand... Again, don't look at any issue in isolation, but look at it as a whole."

After a pause, Yang Mo's eyes became extremely oppressive, and his tone was full of strength that could not be refused. "And the reason why I crossed your name off the list is that I hope you can be the hand that reaches out to stabilize the bead... This kind of thing is a bit sensitive at the moment, and the rank of the person in charge should not be too high, otherwise it will be inconvenient to cover it up in the name of the experiment!"

hiss~!

Song Wenxuan couldn't help but gasp.

Outsiders might not understand what Yang Mo is saying, nor what those beads and hands are metaphorically referring to, but Song Wenxuan, who has spent more than half a year in the island country and even had several business exchanges with the island country’s agricultural cooperatives, how could he not know what he is trying to do?
Song Wenxuan swallowed hard and said with a wry smile, "Boss, you think too highly of me. How can I take on this important task? Even if I am willing to take the risk, the funding pools of Dahua Company and Urban Property Fund Company are basically dry, and even the city's budget is tight. Where can I find a sucker who is willing to lose money and gain publicity? And it would be better if it is official or semi-official funding. Otherwise, when the time comes, it will be like shit!"

Hearing this, Yang Mo smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. Just because the company and the city have no money doesn't mean there is really no official funding in Texas... We have already found a sucker for you, and don't worry, he is absolutely willing to do it."

Have you found it?
Song Wenxuan was really shocked this time: "Who is it?"

Yang Mo looked at him with a smile, and uttered three words softly: "President Liu!"
