Happy Shennong

Chapter 288

The fact that Kong Yunzhou is Su Bowen's father-in-law is purely coincidental.Although it sounds bizarre, it is not unacceptable.The fact that Kong Yunzhou was willing to hand over Qingyun Company to Lin Lei was really puzzling.

Qingyun Company is the economic lifeline of Kong Yunzhou and Su Bowen. To put it bluntly, they all depend on the company for their livelihood.Even if Kong Yunzhou wanted to repay Linley, he didn't have to hand over his job, right?Could it be that from now on, both of their families are counting on their laurels to live on their laurels?
Linley was full of doubts, and met his benefactor Kong Yunzhou in the private room of an elegantly decorated home cooking restaurant in the city.The relationship between the two of them is somewhat complicated, and they regard each other as benefactors.

He noticed that this restaurant is also the property of the catering department of Bandung Group, and all the new vegetables he grows are used.The decoration is also very stylish, and it looks like a high-end place.This has also led to the fact that the prices of home-cooked restaurants that sound like they should be very affordable are actually not cheap.

When looking through the menu, he found that the prices of the dishes in this restaurant were similar to those of the Blue Sky Vegetarian Restaurant that Zhong Ling managed before, and the regulations on private rooms were almost the same.If the consumption exceeds [-] yuan, the private room is free.If it is less than [-] yuan, a private room usage fee of [-] yuan will be charged.

As far as the regulations on private rooms are concerned, most low-end consumers are kept out of the gate.

Linley is considered a rich man now, and the banquet guests are not outsiders, so naturally he doesn't care about such a small amount of money.After consulting the opinions of Mr. Kong and the others, and considering the recommendations of the waiters, he ordered a table with the highest standard of five-person meal.I also ordered two bottles of 30-year-old wine and a can of freshly squeezed juice.

He estimated that the total price was about 4000 yuan, and the per capita consumption reached [-] yuan, which was only a lot more than a five-star hotel.He calculated this, not calculating how much he spent, but measuring the approximate profit margin of the catering industry...

While waiting for the food, Linley chatted with Kong Yunzhou and Su Bowen and his daughter.Naturally, they talked about his acquisition of shares in Qingyun Company.

Kong Yunzhou maintained a faint smile, and said to him: "Lin Lei, if you guessed correctly, you have already been eyeing Qingyun Company, and from the very beginning, you have been rushing to take over the company, right?"

"Well... I really can't hide anything from Mr. Kong." Linley knew that Kong Yunzhou was a discerning person, so he didn't play sloppy and admitted it directly.

"Good boy, have courage! A small company with only ten acres of land wants to eat up a large company with an area of ​​thousands of acres. I'm afraid that such a thing would not even be considered by ordinary people? But you, not only did you think about it, you really You did that. The most important thing is that you succeeded! Although it has become a fact, I guess not many people believe it when it spreads, even I find it incredible! Of course, people who really know you will also know , you do have this strength. Not only the strength to win Qingyun Company, but also the strength to help the company come back to life, and even create another glories!"

"Congratulations to Mr. Kong. My original intention to join Qingyun Company was really simple. I just wanted to find a wider planting area. It's just that the development got a little out of control, and I couldn't control it, so it developed into what it is now. Mr. Kong, Mr. Su, I want to apologize to you. In order to satisfy my wish, I made a decision that made you unhappy..."

"Linley, you are worrying too much. I used to be a businessman. As for Bowen, I am still a businessman in the prime of life. Since we have chosen to go into business, we have the awareness to bear the ups and downs. Moreover, handing Qingyun Company over to You are not a bad thing..."

Finally getting to the point, Linley couldn't help asking: "Mr. Kong, you really don't blame me? Although you didn't take care of it yourself, Qingyun Company is still your property after all, so you just let it go?"

"You want to know why I handed over the company to you?"

"Yes."

Kong Yunzhou smiled, stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, then said slowly: "It's a long story..."

"I would like to hear the details! I also really want to know how Qingyun Company came about and what its development process is like. The more I know, the more beneficial it will be for my future work."

"Since you want to know, let me tell you something. Back then, when I was a teenager, I came to work in the city from the countryside. But I have no skills and no education. How can I find a good job? For many years, I couldn’t find a stable place to stay. Later, under the recommendation of a fellow villager, I entered a vegetable shop to do odd jobs. I still clearly remember that the name of the shop is Qingyun Vegetable Shop.”

Linley's eyes lit up: "Is this how the Qingyun trademark came about?"

"Listen to me in detail..." Kong Yunzhou probably hasn't told anyone about his youth for a long time, and once he opened up the chatterbox, the more he talked, the more energetic he became.

It turned out that his life was also quite inspirational.In order to make a living when he was young, he also worked very hard.

When he first entered the vegetable shop, he was not even qualified to sell vegetables, so he could only work as a coolie and do farm work in the fields.Although his thin body could not do farm work, he gritted his teeth and persevered.The pain and bitterness in it, only he himself knows.

After he developed a strong body through doing farm work, he was "promoted" by his boss to become a porter.At that time, a car was a luxury, and it was inconvenient to come and go in the fields, so most of the physical work could only be done by manpower.

He continued to grit his teeth and persevere, and endured with difficulty. After nearly three years, he got an opportunity to go from behind the scenes to the front of the stage and started selling vegetables.Later, he stayed in almost every position in the vegetable farm for a period of time, and he did a good job in every job, which was very popular with the boss.

Moreover, he is not just working to earn wages like ordinary workers.In his spare time, he is still summing up experience and analyzing the market.

Later, the boss felt tired and didn't want to work anymore, and didn't want his son to suffer the hardships he had suffered, so he took out his savings to open a restaurant for his son.As a result, the vegetable market was idle and no one took care of it. At that time, many people were vying to take down the vegetable market.

Feeling that he has accumulated enough experience, he also joined the battle.

In the end, the boss chose him as his successor, who had no financial strength.He also reached a cooperation with the boss's son, and before he became the boss, he won a long-term business.

In this way, relying on his years of accumulated experience and his hard work that is not afraid of hardships or tiredness, he continued Qingyun Company, and also made the company grow a lot, turning the vegetable farm into a company.

With the development of the times, trademarks and brand awareness began to sprout.He rushed to register the trademark "Qingyun" immediately.At that time, he was just curious and wanted to try something new.Get a trademark, I feel face.Unexpectedly, as time went on, more and more people coveted the trademark "Qingyun", and those who wanted to buy it paid higher and higher prices.The highest price offered by one person can be compared with the market value of his entire company.

Because Qingyun is the name of this city, and it has a beautiful meaning of "Qingyun straight up".The people who lead to trademark competition are not all locals, it can be said that they can be found all over the country.

But he has never agreed, and has stuck to the trademark until now.Even when the company was in trouble, it never occurred to him to sell the trademark.The only problem is that he was distracted from the management of the company because of other things later, and he didn't keep up with the trend.

It can be said that because of his momentary negligence, the company missed a great opportunity.Later, he also wanted to quit, so he handed over the company to his son-in-law Su Bowen to take care of it.Su Bowen is very capable, but unfortunately when he took over the company, the situation was not good, and it took many years for the company to recover.

It wasn't until a few years ago that Su Bowen had the energy to renovate the company's greenhouse.It had developed quite well, but last year it was restrained by Linley's Pagoda Company, and the business went from bad to worse. This is how Linley took over Qingyun Company.

After hearing this, Linley had a certain understanding of Qingyun Company and Kong Yunzhou's past.However, Kong Yunzhou did not say why he was willing to let the company go.

Kong Yunzhou took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and then got to the point.

It turned out that he realized that the company was far behind similar companies, and neither he nor Su Bowen could turn the company around.Especially for the problems encountered this year, they can't think of a solution at all.If it continues to deteriorate, the company is likely to die.

He didn't want his life's painstaking efforts to just dissipate in the world.Instead of dissipating, it is better to hand over the company to capable people and let the company continue to survive.And Linley is the best candidate!After learning of Linley's brilliant deeds, he even wanted to take the initiative to ask Linley to take over the company.

It didn't take long for him to understand that Linley had become interested in Qingyun Company, which was exactly what he wanted.

During the phone call in the morning, Linley just made a joke and asked him to help take down Qingyun Company.But he took it seriously, and immediately called Su Bowen...

After telling the story, Kong Yunzhou finally concluded: "I am a little disappointed to let the company go out. To be honest, I am a little bit disappointed. But I feel more relieved. Because I know that only by handing over the company to you can the company survive this crisis." Jie. Only you can bring the company back to its glory!"

"Huh... Mr. Kong, don't worry, I will definitely do my best to carry forward the industry that has condensed your life's hard work!"

Originally, Linley took Qingyun Company just to meet his own development needs, but now, he has added another source of motivation.Although Kong Yunzhou's words put him under a certain amount of pressure, he has full confidence that he can turn the pressure into motivation through hard work!

Kong Yunzhou nodded in satisfaction, and suddenly looked at Linley mysteriously: "By the way, Linley, do you know the name of the restaurant that the vegetable farm owner I just mentioned opened for his son?"

"I don't know, please tell Kong Lao clearly." Linley was a little dazed, Kong Yunzhou suddenly mentioned this, what was his intention?

Kong Yunzhou smiled and said, "The boss named it Shunchang Restaurant after his two sons."

"What?" Linley's eyes widened instantly, "Shun... Shunchang?"
