Chapter 46: Cunning and Subtle
On the lawn, the old man was stunned for a while.

When the old man came to his senses, he raised his cane and hit He Yuzhu hard:
"You stinky boy, if you really want my money, just divorce the girl from the Lou family and then come back and marry my granddaughter."

"Old man, it was just a joke. Why are you so easily amused?"

He Yuzhu laughed and put on a smiling face, but did not dodge the beating of the cane.

He was afraid that when he dodged, the old man would chase him and beat him, and he might sprain his waist.

"You little bastard," the old man cursed and laughed.

He Yuzhu waited for the old man to calm down before he said seriously, "Grandpa, you want me to help you run your business. What kind of rules do you want to prepare?"

There are professional managers in this world. In many foreign countries, chaebol groups will slowly select a team of professional managers to help manage the business, either because their own family members are unwilling to manage or because these children are not good at management.

Could it be that this old man considers himself a professional manager?

He Yuzhu was somewhat surprised, yet also felt inexplicably irritated.

Want to be a professional manager?

Isn't this just treating yourself as a tool?

Although he opened a financial securities company, he had no plans to engage in any financial entrusted business.

The old man didn't know that He Yuzhu's mood was changing, but when he saw the changes in He Yuzhu's expression, he guessed some clues.

This is why people become more cunning and ghosts become more spiritual.

"Don't worry, your work will not be in vain. The fee is double the market price, and I will give you a 20% bonus every year."

He Yuzhu quickly put on a smile when he heard this, but his face was still full of pain, and he said with embarrassment: "Old man, you said this as if I were a greedy person. This is not about money."

According to current financial custody services, a 10% profit fee is already considered very high.

This old man is willing to give out 20%, which shows his sincerity.

However, He Yuzhu thought about the chaos in Hong Kong in the next few years and felt that if he accepted the other party's commission, he would suffer more.

"Ah, I know I'm putting you in a difficult position, but please have some pity on me as an old man without a successor." The old man was silent for a moment, then held up three fingers: "30%, as long as you agree, we can sign the contract."

"You are so generous, old man," He Yuzhu's eyes lit up after hearing this, but he was shocked and said helplessly: "This is really not a matter of money. My own company keeps me busy every day, and I really don't have the energy to work for others."

"Don't be too greedy, little guy," the old man's expression was gloomy at this time, and the two of them were no longer as friendly as before.

If an ordinary person could get a 30% bonus as custody fee, he would have been very happy and would have stopped there while he was ahead.

However, He Yuzhu's face remained calm. He spread his hands, shrugged, and said helplessly, "Old man, you can't blame me. You are forcing me to do something."

"For the last time, 40%. This is my bottom line. If you still don't agree," the old man was so angry that he was about to roar, "I will go to your father-in-law's house and ask him to take care of me in my old age."

"Then my father-in-law will certainly be happy to have the opportunity to honor you."

He Yuzhu looked at the old man who was furious, and quickly laughed and agreed.

Being able to ask for a 40% dividend should be about the limit.

Knowing that this old man brought up his father-in-law, he had himself taken advantage of.

He Yuzhu was not prepared to fight to the end, after all, every coin has two sides.

From my own long-term perspective, Dingcheng's decision to hire a time traveler like me for its entrustment would definitely be an advantage for the other party.

But from the other party's perspective, handing over the family fortune that they have worked hard to accumulate for decades to a "young man" with whom they have little contact must require a lot of considerations and struggles.

The issue of trust involved was enough to move He Yuzhu.

Being valued and trusted by a business tycoon who is over 80 years old will be of great help to his reputation once the news spreads.

After preparing himself mentally, He Yuzhu quickly walked over to the old man and began to persuade him:
"Grandpa, where are you going to retire? Please tell me. I will leave your company to you and I promise to manage it in an orderly manner and make it flourish."

"Humph, you are such a cunning little rascal. You are taking money from an old man like me, and you don't feel guilty about it."

He Dingcheng had no choice but to find someone else to take care of his property.

He has been searching for many years to find the right person.

When He Yuzhu first came to Hong Kong, He Dingcheng did not take him seriously.

Later, what He Yuzhu did for the country spread among the wealthy circle.

Only then did He Dingcheng begin to look at him differently and investigate his background.

It's a coincidence.

He Dingcheng's grandfather came from the He family in Sijiucheng, and He Yuzhu also came from Sijiucheng.

As relatives of the same clan, they are naturally trusting of each other through blood.

After nearly a year of investigation, Ho Ding-cheng finally decided to choose Ho Yu-chu as the person to take care of his descendants after his death.

Now that He Yuzhu has agreed to help him manage his property, He Dingcheng can be considered relieved.

He Yuzhu began to ask about the old man's specific situation.

After all, it looks like this old man won't live for many more years.

After he dies, to whom will the proceeds of this property be passed?
The old man then told He Yuzhu about his family situation in detail.

He Dingcheng married four wives, but had only two sons and one daughter.

During the Anti-Japanese War, the two sons went to the mainland. Now we don’t know whether they are alive or dead, and they have no offspring.

When my daughter was young, she was seriously injured due to some things and also suffered from serious mental illness. Now she can only be treated in Qingshan Sanatorium.

His daughter only left him a little granddaughter.

After He Dingcheng's death, all his property will be left to this granddaughter.

He Dingcheng's granddaughter is called Huo Min.

Speaking of granddaughters, we must also mention Ho Ting-shing’s son-in-law, Ho Huan.

Huo Huan is the grandson of Huo Laosi, a martial arts master in the late Qing Dynasty. He opened a Jingwu school in Hong Kong.

Although Huo Huan married He Dingcheng's daughter, the two had conflicts before the marriage, and they rarely interacted except on holidays.

If that were all, He Dingcheng wouldn't have to worry so much.

The main thing is that Huo Huan not only doesn't plan to inherit the He family's business, but he even doesn't allow his daughter to inherit the He family's business.

He Dingcheng has only one granddaughter, Huo Min. Seeing that he does not have much time left and his daughter is lying in a nursing home, his granddaughter can only visit him a few times a year.

There is no one to take over the He family business, and He Dingcheng is anxious every day.

It is true that every family has its own problems.

He Yuzhu agreed to the old man's request, and the specific details of the cooperation would require the handover of the two companies. He Yuzhu himself did not manage the company very well.

At around nine o'clock, Zhao Qiannan drove to pick up He Yuzhu for work.

When He Yuzhu left the He family villa, the old man suddenly spoke up and warned: "My granddaughter is still young. If you can't marry her, you must not harm her."

"Old man, look at what you said, am I that kind of person?"

He Yuzhu raised the corner of his mouth and turned to get into his Bentley.

This old man is really interesting. He specifically said this. Could it be that he really wants to make me his grandson-in-law?

But he doesn’t know, he’s almost forty?
He Yuzhu was a little confused.

When I returned to the company, I saw my personal secretary waiting for me for a long time.

"Boss, your tea is ready."

Although Shao Anna's abilities are average, she works very efficiently and has a keen eye.

As soon as He Yuzhu sat down in the boss's chair, she came over to give him a shoulder massage, tap his legs and sing.

When someone knocked on the door, Shao Anna turned out to be a well-behaved and lovely female secretary.

Because of the cooperation with Dingcheng Industrial, Tianzhu Industrial, which had just stabilized its organizational structure, had to undergo a new round of expansion and reorganization.

Several senior executives came over for the meeting.

Shao Anna stood aside and didn't understand a thing, but she knew one thing: her boss, with Tianzhu Industrial worth tens of millions, contracted Dingcheng Industrial worth tens of billions.

Yes, according to He Yuzhu, it is the word "contracting".

"My clan grandfather is too confident in me. I don't have confidence in myself, so I don't know where he gets the confidence from."

He Yuzhu was somewhat complacent, with an expression that even seemed to ask for a beating, without considering that the others had already blushed.

"Boss, Dingcheng is quite large. It will be difficult for us to take over Dingcheng."

As the chief steward of Tianzhu Industrial, Qiu Ziheng was under tremendous pressure. When he first came to Tianzhu, it was just a shell company with a registered capital of one million US dollars.

Now, just over a year has passed, and Qiu Ziheng's salary has increased twice, and his monthly salary is almost 50,000.

The growth rate of Tianzhu Industrial is even more astonishing, and it is about to swallow up Dingcheng Industrial, which has a market value of tens of billions.

He was afraid that his greed would lead him to choke to death.

"Don't worry, just let Lao Fang keep an eye on it. By the way," He Yuzhu's expression suddenly became serious, "Once Dingcheng releases the inside information about their cooperation with us, the stock market will definitely change. I'm going to collect Dingcheng's shares in the stock market. We must be careful about this matter and don't let it slip."

"clear."

When everyone heard this, they immediately responded in unison.

It’s just cutting leeks.

Which company doesn’t reap the profits once every one or two years?

According to the current popular stock value of Dingcheng in the market, several senior executives who are familiar with the stock market did some calculations in their minds.

This time, Tianzhu Industrial, as the banker, can make at least 20 million yuan in profit by cutting leeks.

Sure enough, those who trade stocks or those who manipulate the market make money.

He Yuzhu knew that these things were done by professionals, so he did not give blind orders. He asked Shao Anna to call Fang Jinxin and inform him to come to the company.

Shao Anna hurried to make a phone call.

After making the call, Shao Anna quietly touched up her makeup.

In the past, I always thought of He Yuzhu as a local boss from the mainland. Although he was rich and generous with his money, Shao Anna just wanted to use this place as a stepping stone.

After all, Shao Anna would never think that a local boss worth tens of millions could completely own her just by relying on her beauty.

The situation is different now. He Yuzhu's net worth has skyrocketed a hundredfold.

This is no longer a local boss from the mainland, but a new tycoon who is about to enter the upper class of Hong Kong society.

Shao Anna believes that if she works hard, maybe she can make the leap from a carp to a dragon and turn herself into a phoenix.

Ugh, I am a phoenix.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Shao Anna adjusted her dress again, making sure everything was fine before going back into the office.

After a while, several senior executives left.

He Yuzhu didn't have time to listen to Shao Anna singing. He made several phone calls in a row, all to people close to him.

This time, Mr. He Dingcheng asked me to manage the company. Although the news has not spread, some people must have noticed it a long time ago.

He who calculates more will win, and he who calculates less will not win.

The business world is like a battlefield. Although He Yuzhu thinks he has no business acumen, he is unwilling to let himself go. When encountering problems, he just lets them go.

Some things require some effort, but of course you still have to make some effort.

When Fang Jinxin arrived at the company, He Yuzhu had not finished his call.

Qiu Ziheng stood aside and briefly explained the situation to Fang Jinxin.

Fang Jinxin was extremely delighted when he heard this. The alliance between Tianzhu Industry and Dingcheng would mean that Tianzhu Industry could transform from a carp into a dragon.

"We still need to look at this matter rationally."

After He Yuzhu finished the call, he saw that both of them were full of joy, so he poured a bucket of cold water on them.

"Even without Dingcheng, it wouldn't take long for Tianzhu to grow to a multi-billion scale. Now that we are cooperating with Dingcheng, we have many more restrictions."

Fang Jinxin was more rational than Qiu Ziheng and also thought of the crux of the matter: "Our company has been forced to grow too fast. The foundation is unstable and there will be many problems in the future. This is a win-win situation. The boss is right. We really shouldn't be so happy."

Okay, you are all right, I am the only one who is stupid.

Seeing that He Yuzhu and Fang Jinxin had begun to reflect on the negative impact of this cooperation, Qiu Ziheng thought about himself and felt that he seemed to be getting a little too proud of himself.

Alas, I was destined to be a housekeeper. I am not as smart as my boss or Fang Jinxin.

Qiu Ziheng was hit hard, but fortunately he had prepared himself mentally and joined the two in discussing the issues that needed to be prevented after the two companies merged.

When it was noon, the three of them did not go out to eat, but asked Shao Anna to order takeout.

This discussion took more than six hours, and by the time the basic plan was finalized, it was just time to get off work.

He Yuzhu wants to go home, Fang Jinxin wants to go home, and Qiu Ziheng also wants to go home.

All three are family-oriented men.
