"Since I returned to Shaw group, I found that many things were different from what I thought. I had never felt that making money was so hard before. Maybe it was because I had lived in a big family since childhood, so I had no concept of money.
After I worked, I found that I had to bear a lot of hard work. I had to do a lot of things I didn't want to do. I couldn't say it even if I didn't like it. On the surface, I had to pretend to be indifferent.
There are so many necessities and helplessness in life that I even want to escape and don't want to face it at all. How I miss that when I was 18, I didn't have to think about anything every day. Except going to school, I just wanted to play and make trouble. At that time, I never thought about how good youth was. Now I can't go back to that time. "
Xiao Yicheng just wanted to find an excuse to explain to housekeeper Wang why he was in such a mood today, but the more he said, the more he felt sour in his heart.
Eighteen... What were you doing when you were eighteen? On campus, Lu Xiaoan, who followed his ass every day and peeped at his basketball, was playing cat and mouse. At that time, Xiao an was green and simple. He obviously liked himself, but he didn't dare to show it. She only dared to sit in the last row and watch herself play basketball. When her eyes were right, she ran away again.
Xiao Yicheng didn't see xiao'an, but he didn't want to embarrass her because he knew her pride. But she didn't want to admit it, so she acted with her and pretended not to know. In fact, I'm just afraid. In case xiao'an becomes angry, he will run away from him all at once. At that time, young men and girls were not used to showing their love too clearly. It was the kind of green and astringent that made people feel more unforgettable. They were often infatuated with the original feeling.
After he went abroad, Xiao Yicheng regretted countless times. If he had taken the initiative, if he had expressed his thoughts with xiao'an earlier, if they had been together first. The eldest brother and his mother would not have such an absurd marriage, and there would not be a generation gap between them, and even later they would be crowned with the hat of incest.
Xiao Yicheng knows how big the gap between himself and Gu Yizhen is just because he worked a few years earlier than himself. Even the industries between the Gu family and the Xiao family have a very different gap. So now I have to make a lot of efforts to get xiao'an back from him.
And just with the strength of the current Xiaojia group, no matter how hard you try, you can't do much. The only way to compete with the ancient family is to strive to make the Xiao family's industry bigger, so that they can have a bigger platform to play.
It is said that Gu Yizhen once again signed a contract with Xiaojia group for Xiao Yanting. If the contract is valid for a long time, he may really consider making some articles on cooperation with him. In the future, it is not impossible to turn his ancient family's industry into Xiao's. Before everything has become a foregone conclusion, who can laugh until the end.
Housekeeper Wang kept looking at the young master in front of him, his face was gloomy and uncertain, and there were many things in his eyes that he didn't understand. I don't know why. It seems that the young master is really different from before. It's not just the change of character, but also his sometimes behavior. Is it because the young master has grown up and he hasn't adapted to his change?
"Young master? Young master? What are you thinking?"
Xiao Yicheng heard housekeeper Wang call himself back again. He didn't say anything, but bowed his head and drank another mouthful of wine. Housekeeper Wang was relieved to see that his look finally returned to normal.
"Young master, what you said is actually normal. People have to go through too many things in their life. Lao Wang said something you might not like to listen to. At most, you have just started your life. Unlike me, who has stepped into the coffin, I have seen all kinds of ups and downs in my life.
When I was young, I just came to the Xiao family. At that time, I was not a housekeeper, but a chore at home. Later, I was promoted to be a housekeeper because the old man promoted me. At that time, the Xiao family was still at its peak, which can be said to be in its heyday.
I went out with the old man and all the people who met him were respectful. No matter what kind of cat or dog they were, they wanted to come and hold their thighs. They just hoped that the old man would be happy and share some of their oil and water. At that time, the old man was in high spirits. With his unique vision and vigorous wrist, the Xiao family once became the largest family in city A.
At that time, Koo's was just a small company and could not get on the table at all. But later, the old man's health was broken, so he assigned the family business to the people in the family to operate together. But you know, even if they are all Xiao family, they also have good and bad. If they have a little talent in doing business, they can make a little improvement in their business , but those who don't know how to operate at all are assigned to the family industry, and finally they all lose.
Those who have a little business sense, even if the business is OK, but the industry in their hands is limited, and they can't turn out any bigger waves. Shaw, who everyone wanted to curry favor with before, began to decline slowly at that time.
When the old man just retired, those who saw the old man still treated him as before. But when Shaw slowly declined, I went out with the old man again. The faces of those people were different from before. Those who used to be like mosquitoes seeing blood later saw that the old man simply didn't say hello. Those who still want to curry favor with the old man are nothing more than some small bosses. They may think that the skinny camel is bigger than the horse. They also want to get some oil and water from the old man.
However, what I admire most is the old man's mentality. No matter whether he was in high spirits at the beginning or the family gradually declined later, the old man has never had an emotional collapse or abnormal behavior. No matter what position he is in, he can put his mind right, and even persuade the people in his family not to be unbalanced.
I still remember that the old man once said to the young master that it is extremely cold at the top of the mountain. There will always be only a few people on the top of the mountain, but a person can't stand on the top of the mountain forever, otherwise he will be frozen to death. The old man said that everyone will have brilliant times, but when you face thousands of glory, you should also be prepared to go downhill, because after the highest point, you must go downhill.
The old man can survive anything like that. Does the young master still think his troubles are very difficult? "
Housekeeper Wang mentioned those days when he was with master Xiao, and his tone was filled with emotion. When Shaw began to decline, even he could feel that some things were changing. Not to mention the old man, even if he went out, the changes in the attitude of those people made him feel a little unbalanced for a while.
But now, after half a lifetime of strong winds and waves, I really find that my mentality is different from that before. Perhaps this is because life experience is increasing, so people's mentality is also changing, and the perspective of looking at things is different.
Xiao Yicheng knew that when housekeeper Wang said this to himself, he didn't know what it was like in his heart. According to housekeeper Wang, during the period when the Xiao family had a good time, they should still be very young, so they didn't have much impression. But it was not my father's poor health at the beginning, nor could there be industrial decentralization. In the end, it turned into such a half dead look.
Xiao Yicheng was thinking, since his father could manage the enterprise so well in the past, could he? If we can find a way to concentrate all the industries from the hands of family people and re integrate them again, maybe there is a way to revitalize Shaw. Although Shaw is now in decline, a bad word is that he has been in a state of survival.
But Shaw has been a family for a hundred years. It must have its own foundation, so it can still survive in such an environment. As long as there is a good leader again, we can do the family industry again.
After returning, I have been a small manager in the group. Although the position is not high, I am also at the grass-roots level, so I am very familiar with the basic business of the group. Shaw has always been in such a state of no plague and no fire. It is also because the industry is too scattered and the funds are not enough when they want to bid for large projects. Even if you have the ability to get large projects, you have to face the lack of resources and the inability to complete orders.
However, because I am at the grass-roots level, I may have more personal experience in some businesses than the leaders above. Shaw is not a big problem, and on the contrary. It has its own unique management experience, and as an enterprise expanding from a processing factory, it is also very excellent in terms of product production ability.
Take the contract signed with Gu Shi as an example. A big reason why Xiao Shi took Gu Shi's order is that Xiao Shi itself has such strength. One of the most important requirements in the contract signed with gooseberry is to ensure that the quality of goods provided by Shaw can be comparable to the best quality of goods circulating in the market.
In other words, although Gu Shi has given favorable conditions, his requirements are also very high, and his requirements for quality are particularly harsh. But it was under such regulations that Shaw was able to complete the task well. The biggest problem was that he was afraid of insufficient resources, so he took out nearly half of the group's resources for this batch of orders.
Xiao Yicheng has long wanted to discuss this matter with his father. Except for the group headquarters, all other industries are scattered in the hands of others of the Xiao family. Therefore, there is no good way to communicate all aspects of resources, nor can it be fully integrated and optimized. Once you want to bid for a big project, you are timid because of your lack of confidence.
Now Xiao is like a plate of loose sand. One person needs to be able to concentrate all industries together, which is also the only way to make Xiao's comeback.
