Chapter 1 There's Still Ten Days Until Spring Festival

There were still ten days until Spring Festival, and the people of Hong Kong City also attached great importance to this holiday.

Some shops had already hung new lanterns and pasted couplets and *fu* characters (fortune), and major restaurants had begun taking reservations for New Year's Eve dinners.

Nong Qingying's parents had specially sent some dried fish maw to Su Yehao. This stuff was expensive and never failed as a gift, including even a large yellow croaker's fish maw.

After Su Yehao thanked them, he turned around and gave it to his maternal grandpa. The old man needed to nourish his body, while he himself...could just soak some wolfberries and eat some lamb kidneys.

Due to the three-day Spring Festival holiday, the employees were also looking forward to the festival.

The company drafted a bonus plan, as well as a job-level promotion system chart. Su Yehao read it and felt that there were no problems. While feeling the pain of losing nearly two million Hong Kong dollars, he signed the documents and handed them over to the finance and human resources management departments respectively.

Taking advantage of the fact that Su Yehao's mother was staying in Hong Kong City, after Su's father went to Fo Chuan to sign a contract with the Meidi Group, he made another detour to Hong Kong City.

Under the guise of inviting his son to dinner, he asked Su Yehao to ask Mother Tang out.

It was another "family reunion dinner." Every time, Su's father sought abuse, and every time they bickered during the meal, yet he was happy to do so. Over time, Su Yehao had become accustomed to it.

The dinner was set at the Tai Ping Koon Restaurant.

The restaurant was famous, and the taste of the dishes was quite good. The chefs' cooking skills were top-notch, but the name of this restaurant always made Su Yehao feel strange.

Burying his head in his food, pretending to be a son, Mother Tang was sarcastically taunting him,

"Last time I was playing mahjong with my friends, I heard that you were kicked away by that blonde little fox outside? At your age, you still can't settle down. You don't feel ashamed yourself, but I feel embarrassed for you. Besides, if the blame doesn't fall on my head, it will inevitably affect Xiao Hao's reputation. You really know how to be a father."

Back then.

The second concubine and the third concubine, Mother Tang had tolerated them all, until a fourth concubine popped up, and then they officially separated.

Although they weren't divorced, it was almost the same as being divorced.

So many years had passed, and Mother Tang still harbored resentment in her heart, and her schadenfreude was evident in her words at this moment.

Having long known that this hurdle was inevitable, Su's father was depressed and sighed deeply: "I was young back then, and my heart was blinded by greed. Now I know I was wrong, but it seems a little late."

He adopted a very low posture.

Su Yehao ate his melon in silence, always feeling that his old man was playing the game of trying to catch someone by letting them go.

As long as the matter between his parents didn't involve business, he was too lazy to interfere.

He was like this when he was living under someone else's roof, and now that he, as a son, had slowly grown up, he was even less willing to meddle.

To put it bluntly, this was a contradiction between the husband and wife themselves. Whether they reunited or not, it had little to do with Su Yehao. Continuing to live together was fine, and living separately had no impact either.

Mother Tang was intelligent and chuckled, not giving her "ex-husband" a chance to take advantage of the situation.

Hoping that the two of them would be patient and have a good conversation was probably impossible. Su Yehao ate half full, looked up and asked: "Dad, did you sign a contract with that company that manufactures home appliances when you went to Fo Chuan this time?"

"It should be soon. There's a lot of mess that needs to be sorted out one by one. I'm afraid it will have to wait until after the New Year to finally sign."

Last time he went to the Sihai International headquarters, Su Yehao had asked for the information and looked at it briefly.

It was an old state-owned enterprise, so it was normal to have a lot of trouble.

He said to his father, "The big problems must be taken seriously, and the small problems should be put aside for now. Look at the entire transaction from a different perspective. If the company doesn't have any problems and the operating conditions are normal, how could you have the opportunity to finance it? They would have kept it as a quality asset."

Su's father nodded and said:

"That's right. The key now is who will manage it in the future, how to dispose of the financing funds, debts, and employee resettlement, etc. About 1.3 billion will be taken away all at once. There won't be enough money left to do anything."

"Lowering the debt ratio also has benefits. There's no need to continue paying interest. It's easier to move forward, and you can also introduce low-interest loans from outside. With Meidi's reputation and foundation, there will be opportunities to become the number one home appliance manufacturing company in the country."

After all, it was a big business involving two billion, and the future profits involved made Su Yehao feel frightened.

Therefore, after saying this, Su Yehao told him again: "If you trust me, I can help you manage it for a while and strive to settle the mess as soon as possible and sort out a reliable strategic plan."

"..."

His father hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, explaining: "The situation is a bit complicated, and you don't have experience in this area. For example, some people in the company now want to use the remaining several hundred million to acquire a home appliance manufacturing company in Baodao that is in debt crisis. If it were you, what would you do?"

After thinking, Su Yehao only said:

"It's too vague. The specific situation should be treated specifically. If it helps the company's development, it's not entirely impossible. But in my opinion, the top priority is to focus on the research and development sector. Even if half of the profits are used for research and development, I would be willing to spend the money. When the quality is comparable to imported home appliances, and it's also cost-effective, it will be difficult for the business to be bad."

This answer surprised Su's father.

Don't look at the fact that Su Yehao has made a lot of money in the past six months. In his parents' eyes, it was just because his luck was too good, and he happened to have his eye on a hot stock - Yahoo.

So far, more than 90% of the revenue has been contributed by Yahoo.

The real estate investment didn't make money, and Su Yehao's own venture capital company and Internet company also seemed to be small-scale affairs.

As for Yinhai in the mainland...

His parents couldn't even figure out what it did. Its presence was too low.

Su's father was skeptical of his son's abilities.

Su Yehao was also worried that his father would not adapt to the situation and would ruin the good Meidi Group.

In this situation, Mother Tang suddenly interjected, saying: "Since Xiao Hao is willing to try, why not let him try first? Anyway, it's still in the negotiation stage. If he accidentally beats the master to death, it will be good for our family."

"Wife is right! In the blink of an eye, Xiao Hao is so old. It's my fault that I didn't pay attention. If there's an opportunity, he should be given a chance to practice."

As soon as Su's father finished speaking.

The mother and son glared at him together.

Unconsciously, the topic shifted to the issue of letting Sihai International go public on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

In fact, in Su Yehao's view, there was no difference whether the company went public or not, but Mother Tang flatly refused, only saying that she would talk to the old man.

Thinking of Father Tang, Su's father instantly lost his temper.

If he could have persuaded Su Yehao's maternal grandfather, Sihai International would have gone public five years ago, so why wait until today.

It seemed to be just a family dinner, but in fact, it was also a time for the major and second shareholders of Sihai International to exchange views over dinner.

Mother Tang clearly had the upper hand, and Su Yehao was mainly responsible for filling in the gaps.

The meal lasted for more than two hours, and the final topics were all about Su Yehao.

For example, how was he getting along with Nangong Tian, whether he wanted to marry the Zhao family, and that having so much debt would be dangerous if Yahoo had problems.

Parents like to worry about things.

When they were about to leave after paying the bill, Mother Tang suddenly mentioned that she was preparing a family charitable trust fund, and that 20% of the shares of the Boyar Healthcare Group and 20% of the shares of Sihai International would be transferred into it, and the beneficiary would only be Su Yehao.

This made him full of energy and excited on the spot...
