Chapter 507 Tycoon Group
Christmas of 1988 was approaching, but Chen Runji and Li Hairen felt conflicted for the first time. They really couldn't decide whether to stay in Seoul to accompany their youngest son Chen Daojun, or fly to Hong Kong to accompany their eldest son.

In fact, Chen Daojun also wanted to go to Hong Kong, not because of his deep feelings for that silly foodie brother, but because his mother in his previous life was in Hong Kong now, and he also wanted to see how his mother was doing. However, when he thought about his enemy who had not been found yet, he could only force himself to stay in Seoul. Only in this way could he deepen his relationship with Chen Yangzhe as much as possible.

"Hai Ren! I have never had such a headache in my life. Can't our two sons spend a good New Year together?" Chen Runji had a terrible headache.

"Runji, why don't we separate?" Looking at Chen Runji who was in agony due to the entanglement, Li Hairen suggested with a wry smile, "You go to Hong Kong to accompany Hengjun, and I will stay in Seoul to accompany Daojun."

"What? You might as well just kill me." Chen Runji refused without thinking.

"Runji, what do you think we should do?"

"How about we go to Hong Kong and see if we can bring Hyungjun back to Seoul."

"Alas! This is the only way now."

Chen Runji and Li Hairen flew to Hong Kong the next day. Seeing their eldest son becoming more and more mature, they couldn't help but feel ashamed and realized that they had stayed in Seoul for too long this time.

"Hyunjun! Christmas is almost here, come back to Seoul with us?" Li Hairen looked at his son with doting eyes.

"Mom, I'll stay in Hong Kong for Christmas. You can go back to Seoul to be with your brother Daojun. I'll rush back to Seoul to reunite with you during the Lunar New Year."

"What? Hyungjun, don't you always love Christmas the most?" Li Hairen couldn't accept this result.

"Mom, I suddenly feel that it's best for us to celebrate our own festival."

"You little rascal, you came to Hong Kong to study, but your head is full of Chinese ideas." Chen Runji looked at his eldest son with a smile and scolded him. In fact, he was also relieved in his heart. After all, he and his wife didn't have to worry about it.

"Haha, Chinese civilization is profound and extensive. It really cannot be compared with the America that has existed for more than 200 years." Suning said very proudly.

"Hyungjun! Some time ago, your grandfather handed over all of Shunyang's assets in Hong Kong to Dad. I want you to choose a company to manage and then stop touching the stock market here."

"Oh? Would Grandpa be so generous?"

"Silly boy, how could you make up stories about your grandfather like that? That's so rude." Li Hairen immediately nervously pulled his son's ear. After all, they had to respect their elders on the surface.

"Hiss, Mom, I know I was wrong." Su Ning pretended to cry out in pain, which made Li Hairen release his hand distressedly. Then he changed the subject and looked at Chen Runji, "Dad, what industries do you have?"

"Hey! Take a look for yourself!" Chen Runji looked at his son with amusement, then took out three documents: "Real estate, a trading company, and a 500,000-ton shipping company."

"Oh? Dad, can I only pick one?"

"Huh?" Chen Runji and Li Hairen exchanged surprised glances. They hadn't expected their eldest son to have such a big appetite. They suspected the stock market had changed their son's thinking. "You little brat, are you still planning on taking over everything?"

"No! I want a trading company and a shipping company."

"This..." Chen Runji looked at Li Hairen in surprise. Seeing Li Hairen nodded in agreement, he pretended to agree reluctantly, "Okay! Both companies will be handed over to you, but your uncle Gaoqiao must be directly responsible for their management."

"Dad, only Uncle Takahashi can help me now. I will definitely let him take charge."

"Well, that's good." After hearing their son's explanation, Chen Runji and Li Hairen finally felt relieved. "Hyungjun! We also heard about the stock market crash a while ago. The fault is not yours at all. You must not let your imagination run wild!"

"Ah? No! I won't let my imagination run wild." Suning blinked in confusion, then responded with a smile. He really didn't know why they said that.

"Well, the stock market is too risky, so you should not get involved in it again in the future." Chen Runji finally warned his son again.

"Huh? I understand. Can I change the names of these two companies?" Not understanding what Chen Runji and the others meant, Suning asked another question.

"What? What name do you want to change to?"

"Tycoon Trading and Tycoon Shipping."

"Haha, Tycoon?" Chen Runji and Li Hairen couldn't help laughing when they heard the name Suning proposed. "Hyungjun! You are so narcissistic."

In the end, Chen Runji and Li Hairen left Hong Kong happily, and couldn't help laughing at the name their eldest son came up with. However, before leaving, they transferred the shares of the two companies to Suning, but Li Hairen would hold them temporarily on their behalf. In any case, the daily work would be managed by Takahashi Iwaichi.

As soon as Suning took over the two companies, it carried out a major reshuffle of the companies, directly sending a large number of employees from Korn Ferry International to take over important departments and positions in the two companies.

Because Suning and Takahashi Iwaichi's actions were so big, these dismissed old employees ran to Sunyang's headquarters in Seoul to complain, which alarmed Director Li and Chen Yangzhe. The Chen family members who got the news moved their stools and sat in rows, waiting to see the joke of Chen Runji's family.

"Director Li, what did you just say?" Chen Yangzhe angrily threw away the brush in his hand, staring at Director Li Hengcai with wide eyes and a ferocious look.

"President, as soon as Shunyang's three companies in Hong Kong were taken over by the Third Young Master, he handed over the trading company and shipping company to Young Master Hengjun, and the shares were held by Ms. Hairen. Gaoqiao Yanyi was in charge of direct management and immediately changed the name to Tycoon."

"Takahashi Iwaichi? Tycoon?" Chen Yangzhe repeated with gritted teeth.

"Yes! It's the agent of Ms. Hairen back then."

"Why is this damn Japanese guy still haunting us? Is he an immortal cockroach?" Chen Yangzhe cursed angrily.

"President, according to Park Dong-seong's report, this Gao Qiao Yanyi is very good at pleasing Young Master Hengjun. In addition, the Third Young Master and Ms. Hae-in are often in Seoul, so Young Master Hengjun likes Gao Qiao Yanyi very much."

"That's right, it must be this Gaoqiao Yanyi who bewitched Hengjun. Otherwise, how could a kid like Hengjun know how to fire so many employees?"

"President, what should we do next?"

"Hmph! Have the security chase these idiots away. Since we've decided to hand these companies over to Chen Runji and his men, let them handle it on their own."

"Yes! President, there are some very important old employees. Should we continue to employ them?" Director Li Hengcai thought of several important employees and suggested again.

"No! This is actually a good idea. It will also help Shunyang's 200,000 employees wake up and figure out who their masters are."

"Yes! President."

After Director Li Hengcai left the study, Chen Yangzhe, who had been furious just now, suddenly smiled and muttered to himself, "Tycoon? What a narcissistic name! Then let your grandfather see what kind of tycoon you are!"

Shunyang Group's assets in Hong Kong were modest, and they weren't particularly significant in the eyes of the Chen family's children. However, even if they weren't, they were still a considerable fortune, so they felt a bit reluctant to see Chen Yangzhe hand them over to Chen Runji. Hearing the explosive news from Hong Kong and the daily traffic of branch veterans at Zhengxinzhai, they were all overjoyed, waiting to see the jokes of Chen Runji and Chen Hengjun, father and son.

It was not until a large number of security guards came out of Zhengxinzhai and drove away all the so-called veterans of the Hong Kong branch that the children of the Chen family learned of Chen Yangzhe's attitude. They were immediately shocked and for the first time they became worried about the "foodie" in Hong Kong.

At Shunyang Department Store, Chen Huarong looked at her "Military Advisor" Cui Changji in confusion. "What? What does father mean by this?"

"Oh! No one in this world can understand my father-in-law's mind."

"That shouldn't be the case! Chen Runji and Hengjun did something so outrageous, shouldn't father reprimand them?"

"Huarong! Let's stop trying to guess what my father-in-law is thinking. It's bound to be in vain."

"No! There is another person who should know what is going on." Chen Huarong did not give up according to her husband's advice. Instead, she raised the corner of her mouth and revealed a smug smile.

"What? Who is it?" Cui Changyu looked at his wife Chen Huarong in confusion.

"Alright! Call Director Li Hengcai right away. I want to treat him to dinner tonight."

Director Li Hengcai is really busy today, because it is not only Chen Huarong who asked him out for dinner, but also Chen Dongji, the second son of the Chen family of Shunyang Chemical. It seems that they all want to find out something.

The clever Li Hengcai, Director of the Li Department, of course, would not act on his own. As expected, he immediately ran to Chen Yangzhe again and said, "President, Representatives Chen Huarong and Chen Dongji have both invited me to dinner. How should I respond to them?"

"Idiots! Instead of focusing on running the company, they spend all their time trying to figure out what an old man like me is thinking. They're truly unfit for the job."

"President, why don't I just decline it."

"Go! My children are all well-off, and you can eat as much as you want."

"Yes! President, I know what to do."

Among all the children of the Chen family, only Chen Yongji is the calmest. At this stage, he is still the vice president who has made no mistakes. He doesn't care about the two brothers Chen Daojun and Su Ning at all.

"Vice President, I heard that the president treats Chen Hengjun very well." Minister Jin reported the situation to Chen Yongji, but saw that Chen Yongji had an indifferent expression.

"Humph! This just shows that our old man is getting old and has spoiled his grandchildren a bit."

"."

"Minister Jin, the eldest son inheritance system is the tradition of Shunyang Group and will not be changed." Looking at his confidant Minister Jin who looked confused, Chen Yongji said confidently, "Because only in this way can Shunyang Group not be split. And only I, Chen Yongji, can lead Shunyang Group to overcome difficulties and achieve rapid development and growth."

"Yes! Vice President." Minister Jin looked at the man in front of him with admiration, and then asked the question in his heart, "But, should we still contact Park Dongcheng in Hong Kong? He should be able to provide us with more information about Chen Hengjun and his son."

"Hmph! Do we need to pay attention to a lowly cook?" Chen Yongji looked at Minister Jin with disdain.

"Yes! Vice President, I know what to do."

Chen Yongji's biggest trump card is the eldest son inheritance system. He also knows clearly how stubborn Chen Yangzhe is. He has the impression that no one can change his mind. Therefore, Chen Yongji does not care about the ups and downs of his brothers and sisters. He just needs to sit back and watch the show.

Because he had the trump card of Korn Ferry, under the direct instructions of Suning, Takahashi Iwao quickly integrated the two companies. Although the scale of these two companies was small, they were the most suitable for Suning to control.

"Uncle Takahashi, next the trading company will try to contact the Soviet Union and tell them we are very interested in their aircraft."

"Soviet Russia? Planes?"

"Yes! When we first start to make contact, we should take the initiative to give up some of our interests. I am very optimistic about the long-term trade with them."

"Hengjun! There is no market for Soviet aircraft?" Takahashi Iwaichi thought that Suning did not understand the market, and explained with a wry smile.

"Uncle Takahashi, who told you there's no market?"

"Uh? Is there a market?"

"China! Southeast Asia! The Middle East! How much can we not sell?"

"Ah? Hengjun! Is it necessary to make such a big deal?" After understanding Suning's true intention, Takahashi Iwao couldn't help but be shocked.

"Uncle Takahashi, you don't understand at all. The bigger the better."

"Yes, I understand."

"Uncle Gaoqiao, I know this is a bit difficult for you. You should transfer a trade talent from Korn Ferry International to take over the trading company."

"Okay! I'll arrange it right away. Korn Ferry is full of talented people."

"Well, this is also the reason why I chose a headhunting company in the first place." Suning showed a proud expression.

"Hyungjun! I'll have Korn Ferry send someone as soon as possible."

"Well, as for Tycoon Shipping, since we already have a solid order book, for now we're mainly investing in increasing shipping capacity. My ideal goal is to reach around six million tons within three years."

"Great! There are more suitable shipping talents in Hong Kong, so it will be easy to find a suitable person in charge."

"Well, I still value trade with the Soviet Union. I don't plan to make a profit in the first year. My main goal is to make friends with the Soviet upper echelons to build a foundation of trust for future cooperation." Looking at Takahashi Iwaichi in front of him, worried that he might not take it seriously, Su Ning couldn't help but say a few more words. "Also, have Korn Ferry International set up a branch in Moscow, specifically responsible for counting and contacting technical experts and professors in the Soviet military industry. Create detailed files for them so that they can enrich our talent pool."

"Talent pool?"

"Yes! What I meant is that we signed a letter of intent with these experts, which means that if they want to change jobs, they can only contact them through Korn Ferry."

"Oh my God! You are going to control all the talents in the Soviet Union!" Takahashi Iwao was shocked and terrified.

"Uncle Takahashi, isn't this what our headhunting company does?" Seeing Takahashi Iwaichi trembling with shock, Su Ning said disapprovingly, "Of course, we don't need to make big moves at the beginning. Once we have a foundation of trust in Soviet Russia and the support of the upper echelons, we will increase our efforts in this area."
