A century-old wealthy family that rose from Shanghai

Chapter 271 The Firstborn Son

Saturday, October 2.

Everything is appropriate.

In the new building of Renji Hospital, Chen Guangliang was waiting anxiously outside a delivery room. Today was the day his child was born.

In fact, as a modern man, I attach great importance to "my wife's childbirth safety", so I have already inquired in Shanghai - which hospital has the best obstetrics department, which doctor has the most sophisticated skills, and which nurse has the most skilled level.

After making inquiries, he made appointments with the doctor, the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the VIP delivery room, the VIP ward, etc. Everything was prepared properly, and he did all these things personally.

After an unknown amount of time, the door of the delivery room was finally opened, and Chen Guangliang was immediately shocked.

American doctor Edward came out with a smile on his face.

Chen Guangliang immediately asked, "How is my wife?"

This move undoubtedly surprised Edward, who had been practicing medicine in Shanghai for more than 20 years. He had received so many Chinese families, but very few people asked about the wife first. They always asked about the boy or girl and whether the child was healthy.

Sure enough, young Chinese people have become more and more progressive!
"Your wife is doing well, having a normal birth. Your son is also very healthy. To use the words of you Chinese, he's a fat boy."

After Edward finished speaking, Yang Hui, Yang Qingshan, Chen Guangcong and others behind Chen Guangliang were overjoyed, as the Chen family had an heir.

Chen Guangliang randomly took out a 'red envelope', handed it to Edward, and said: "A little thought, good luck and good fortune."

Edward readily accepted the red envelope and said casually: "You are such a good husband who loves his wife."

After a while, Yan Renmei and her son were pushed out of the delivery room and into the VIP ward.

"Brother Liang, why are you all wearing masks?" Yan Renmei said weakly.

"I asked them to wear it to prevent germs from outside from being brought in," Chen Guangliang said confidently.

Yan Renmei smiled.

Afterwards, Chen Guangliang stayed with Yan Renmei and did not linger on his eldest son.

Yan Renmei's hand was held by Chen Guangliang. Although she was tired at this time, she still felt very happy.

"Brother Liang, have you thought of a name?"

Chen Guangliang smiled and said, "Of course I've thought of it. I originally wanted a name for the boy and a name for the girl. The boy will be called Chen Wenjie and the girl will be called Chen Meiyun. From now on, the boys will all have the character 'Wen' in their generation, and the girls will all have the character 'Yun' in their generation."

A girl's generation name is placed at the end, while a boy's generation name is placed in the middle.

Yan Renmei said softly, "Chen Wenjie, Wenjie, it's a nice name."

Chen Guangliang smiled and said, "As long as it sounds nice, we shouldn't think too much about the meaning. The healthy growth of the child is the most important thing."

"Um"

Afterwards, relatives and friends from both sides came to visit. Naturally, Chen Guangliang's eldest son, Chen Wenjie, attracted much attention. It can be said that he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

And it is of great significance. Chen Guangliang himself is the "founder of a wealthy family", and Yan Renmei is also the legitimate daughter of a famous family (her grandfather is the only legitimate son, and her father is the eldest legitimate son).

Therefore, the birth of Chen Wenjie also symbolizes that the marriage between the Chen and Yan families is becoming more stable.

At the door of the ward, Chen Guangliang and Yan Zhiduo stood together and talked.

Yan Zhiduo said worriedly, "What about the China Merchants Group?"

As a son-in-law, he already had a reputation for attracting attention, and now he had to take over the mess that was the China Merchants Group. If he did well, there would be no benefit; if he did poorly, it would be a real problem.

Chen Guangliang said seriously: "Don't worry, father-in-law, there is no problem with China Merchants Group, and it will be greatly improved next year."

Yan Zhiduo nodded and said, "I'm not worried about your ability, but I'm worried that you're not smooth enough in handling affairs in the officialdom and are deeply involved in it."

His grandfather and his father were both officials and businessmen, and he had heard about those risky things since he was a child.

Chen Guangliang replied: "I will resign once China Merchants Group is back on track. After all, I was forced to take on this position."

Yan Zhiduo was completely relieved and said, "It's good that you know what's going on."

Although this son-in-law is very capable, he does not have much experience in officialdom after all. He gave this reminder in the hope that he would live a good life.

Faced with the renewed challenges from Jardine Matheson and Swire, Chen Guangliang immediately asked China Merchants Group and China Shipping to respond.

China Merchants Group immediately followed suit by lowering prices on the first and second routes, and its prices were slightly lower than those of Jardine Matheson and Swire; Global Shipping lowered its prices to the same level as Jardine Matheson and Swire because it had already accumulated some old customers.

This time, Chen Guangliang also understood that Jardine Matheson and Swire would never "surrender" easily, and he would have to prepare for a "protracted war".

However, the cooperation between China Merchants Group and China Merchants Shipping is now showing that their strength in these two routes is no less than that of Jardine Matheson and Swire. In fact, since both companies have Chen Guangliang as their general manager, they can coordinate and coordinate at a unified level, which is something that Jardine Matheson and Swire cannot do.

Chen Guangliang evenly distributed the two companies' "four flights" over a month and let the business personnel of the two companies cooperate; this way, employers will have a better experience.

This day.

Chen Guangliang personally held a training meeting for the business department of China Merchants Group.

The Business Department of China Merchants Group was a "powerful department" created by Chen Guangliang with all his efforts, because the original comprador system was abolished and all business was handled by the Business Department.

The business personnel who came to the meeting today were from all branches, docks and warehouses of China Merchants Group.

"First, I want to announce something: China Merchants' business department will be the first to implement a 'last-in-last' system and an 'incentive system.' The so-called last-in-last system means that those sales personnel who perform poorly and rank at the bottom of the branch office or terminal will face dismissal. Of course, a two-year probationary period could be considered. If they rank last this year, they have a chance to recover next year. However, if they rank last for two consecutive years, it means they are not qualified for the job. As for the incentive system, it's also very simple. In addition to your salary, you will also receive a bonus. The bonus is linked to your business volume. The specific details will be announced by headquarters."

Seventy or eighty sales representatives, managers and elites from across the country all had serious expressions on their faces. They knew that Chen Guangliang was a "radical reformer."

In the more than four months since he took office, he has dealt with various people.

Afterwards, Chen Guangliang gave everyone a speech on various methods and techniques of "business promotion", which made everyone feel like they had opened up a new world.

"A good salesperson is just as important to a company as a senior executive. If you have a strong client network, even I, the general manager, will treat you with respect. Whether it's your position in the company or the compensation and benefits you deserve, I'll definitely satisfy you."

"As the ancients said, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. This saying is also very applicable to the business world. If you don't want to be a top salesperson, you are not a good salesperson."

“Business doesn’t come to you, we should take the initiative.”

"Become a gold medal salesperson and bring a better life to your family"

The audience was thrilled, and they all took notes, ready to adopt them as their life's creed. Chen Guangliang also had the idea of ​​​​increasing everyone's sense of identity with China Merchants Group by rotating business personnel from each branch and terminal to the Shanghai Stock Exchange for training.

So in addition to training, these people will also visit the China Merchants Group headquarters building and have dinner together.

Weihai Road, Chen’s Villa.

Yan Renmei and her son Chen Wenjie stayed in Renji Hospital for three days before being taken home by Chen Guangliang, who also hired two experienced nurses to take care of them.

Chen Guangliang is willing to spend this kind of money.

"Chen Wenjie Wenjie"

In the villa, Chen Guangliang held his eldest son in his arms, his face showing a gentle fatherly love.

Unconsciously, he had been in this world for almost six years, and now he had finally gained his own bloodline inheritance. The feeling Chen Wenjie gave him was different from that of Yan Renmei, Yang Hui, Chen Guangcong and others. It was a true bloodline connection.

In the past, Chen Guangliang would have thought - it's a chaotic world anyway, live one day at a time, don't worry too much; but now, Chen Guangliang hopes for a better future, and will not truly breathe a sigh of relief until his children grow up.

Yan Renmei sat on the sofa in the living room on the first floor and said with a satisfied smile: "Wenjie is just like you!"

Chen Guangliang immediately said, "That's a compliment. In my opinion, Wenjie looks more like his mother. It's a good thing for a boy to look like his mother!"

At this time, Yang Hui came over, took a look at her eldest grandson, and said, "His eyes are like dad's, and his nose and mouth are like mom's, everything like him!"

Seeing this, Chen Guangliang handed Chen Wenjie to his grandmother. Yang Hui also held him in her arms lovingly, as if the birth of this child had made everyone feel relieved.

It is true that when most people achieve success, they already have many children and even grandchildren.

In contrast, when Chen Guangliang achieved success and fame, he was not even married yet, so he can be said to have become famous at a young age.

How could such a huge fortune not have an heir?

"Is there anything you want to eat or drink?" Chen Guangliang hugged Yan Renmei and leaned on the sofa.

When Yan Renmei heard this, she immediately leaned over to Chen Guangliang's ear and whispered, "Can you please not drink so much chicken soup every day?"

Chen Guangliang smiled and said, "Of course, if you don't want to drink, just eat whatever you want. Mood is the most important thing during breastfeeding. Just try a little of everything, but don't eat too much."

"Um"

With Chen Guangliang's words, Yan Renmei was like receiving an imperial edict, and those so-called traditions were not so important.

Of course, she herself knew that she needed enough nutrition to feed her son.

Yang Hui also took the opportunity to say, "Guangliang learned this from his father. He knows how to love his wife."

Give yourself a step down.

Yan Renmei immediately agreed with her mother-in-law and asked, "Did father-in-law love her too?"

Yang Hui could only rack her brains to recall the past, and then said: "We were poor at that time, but when I gave birth to Guangliang and Guangcong, he always gave me the last good ones to eat."

Chen Guangliang and Yan Renmei immediately understood that the 'good days' would probably only last for a short time. After all, in an era of material scarcity, men were the backbone of the family and had the priority to enjoy any delicious food.

The family was having a great time together, and today Chen Guangliang took a rare day off from work to spend time with his family.

end of the month.

Standard gold trading market.

Hu Jinshun and Wu Xinhe settled the gold futures on behalf of Changjiang Money House, resulting in a small loss for Changjiang Money House.

Someone jokingly said, "Hu Yizhi, I heard you lost money on this transaction. That's quite unusual! If your boss, Mr. Chen, knew about this, he wouldn't fire you, would he?"

'Hu Yizhi' is Hu Jinsu's nickname, because he always likes to extend a finger to send out trading signals, and he was a 'big shot' in the gold market in the past few years.

Someone else joined in: "This time, the Changjiang Bank's short selling is not the right time. Although the fluctuation of the benchmark price is normal, you are only short selling and not buying. It is obviously a wrong calculation. If you ask me, you should just let Mr. Chen participate in person. That's the only way to make money!"

Hu Jinshun wanted to laugh in his heart. These people were all here to get information. They just wanted to know what their boss was thinking and whether there was any new market situation.

After all, his boss is the real king in the gold market and is known as the 'Gold King'.

"Everyone, we're just playing around. Winning and losing is normal. If I lose a little, it just means my year-end bonus is a little less. Please don't make fun of me."

Hu Jinshun knows very well that he should hide his shortcomings!
The boss's intention is to "short sell", and he just needs to speculate on gold in this general direction. Occasionally, he will do a reverse speculation just to confuse people.

Today's gold futures settlement has become a delivery every two months. If you want to speculate, you really have to consider "hedging operations."

Afterwards, Hu Jinshun and Wu Xinhe left. They suffered a small loss of 5 yuan this month because the bid price increased a little.

When Chen Guangliang learned that he had lost 5 yuan in speculation, he didn't think much of it.

He only had a rough idea of ​​the current market trend, and knew it wasn't as volatile as the gold market of previous years. His desire to short gold was simply a gamble: the silver price would rise faster than the gold price.

"Continue short selling at the beginning of next month. Don't close other positions. Once the chips are fully traded, we'll call it a day. As for whether or not to hedge, that's up to you, but the limit and the overall downward trend cannot change."

For example, after they sell 500 million, they cannot continue to sell, otherwise they should increase the margin.

However, they can still buy as long as the price is lower than the selling price, which does not require increasing margin, because this is called 'closing a position'.

Hu Jinshun nodded and said, "Okay. But boss, would you like to watch it yourself this time?"

Since deciding to get involved in the gold-standard market again, the boss seemed to have only asked about it twice and didn't care too much.

Chen Guangliang waved his hand and said, "No need, just follow what I say, it won't be a big problem."

He didn't completely trust Hu Jinshun, so he assigned the financial accounting department, led by Wu Xinhe, to oversee and audit the company. Hu Jinshun could only operate but couldn't get paid.

Of course, they have all followed him for many years, so there is a certain degree of trust in them.

"Ok"

After paying a million yuan in margin, even if I lose money, it won't be a serious loss. Even if I make a profit, it will only be a few hundred thousand yuan, which won't make me rich.
