I was forced to start the second round because I was raised in poverty

Chapter 429 Planning
"Brother Tianyan, the doctor just said that, and you've started smoking again."

"Stop smoking!"

Long Ruoli offered a token attempt to dissuade him.

Su Tianyan waved his hand: "It's okay, I'll just smoke one, and then I won't smoke anymore."

As for the state of his illness, Su Tianyan actually thought it was a good thing.

At least, he no longer needs to be afraid of being exposed in front of Su Cheng.

Long had already seen what he looked like before, and he didn't want Su Cheng to see it too.

That's good.

Even if she had a seizure in front of him, Su Cheng wouldn't notice anything unusual.

Therefore, Su Tianyan did not feel too anxious at this moment; on the contrary, she felt a little joy in her heart.

"Mr. Su, these are recent video and audio recordings. Would you like to take a look?"

Su Tianyan selectively read some of it.

He remembered most of it, but he had some doubts about his memory.

So only a portion was scanned.

"Where is that brat? Where is he now? Has he already gone back to Shanghai?"

"Yes, Mr. Su, the young master has already returned with Xiao Ye."

"Um……"

Some time ago, Su Tianyan asked Long to find out from that brat whether he wanted to return to the group.

The brat didn't give a definite answer at the time, saying he needed to think about it, but according to their expert analysis, there was still a tendency towards it.

I sent Su Cheng out to train a while ago, and the kid really made some money.

He estimated that Su Cheng must have made over 100 million yuan just from buying and selling that financial license recently.

Including the consumer finance products launched in the short term, we may be able to achieve several small goals.

Although Su Cheng later sold off all the outstanding loans in order to make a withdrawal, the profit was still considerable.

After I returned home from the long holiday, I immediately bought him a car.

Although it's not the Mercedes GLS, the Tiguan L is fine too.

It's much better than an old man's car; it's a car he can drive and show off.

This car is the most suitable at this price point; the brat and Xiao Ye have put a lot of thought into it.

He can't accept anything too expensive.

Su Cheng and Xiao Ye also knew that he couldn't accept it.

If it's too cheap, it seems like they don't value it.

pretty good.

only……

The brat only said he made money, but didn't specify how much.

You could just tell him directly that he made hundreds of millions.

Why can't we just say it and make him happy?

If he knew about this, even in his chaotic state, wouldn't he have avoided being humiliated by the Tian family?

"President Su, your thinking is not quite right."

"what happened?"

“If the young master tells you, you will definitely tell the Tian family.”

"correct."

Bai Zihua gently reminded him, "Then this is a big problem. The Tian family will rely on you and the young master from now on. If they ask you for money, will you lend it or not?"

"If I lend it, I can't get it back; if I don't lend it, it will hurt our relationship."

"You should understand such a simple principle, shouldn't you?"

"That seems to be true, but at least I didn't have to suffer any humiliation back then."

Su Tianyan admitted that going to the Tian family to show off was an extremely wrong decision.

However, this incident is very much in line with the persona he presents to Su Cheng.

If Su Tianyan were sober, he definitely wouldn't go.

Even if it's just to create a persona, he wouldn't go.

That's just making yourself uncomfortable.

The Tian family couldn't possibly be truly happy for him.

The person who would truly be happy for Tian passed away twenty years ago.

If it weren't for his special educational purpose for the brat, he wouldn't bother with the current Tian family.

Forget it.

It doesn't matter.

Su Tianyan will not dwell on the Tian family's affairs.

What bothered him was why Su Cheng didn't just tell him that he had earned a few small fortunes.

He would definitely be genuinely happy for Su Cheng.

Then he would put on a nonchalant air and tell Su Cheng not to be arrogant, to be down-to-earth, and not to get carried away. As Su Cheng's father, he could openly offer some advice on Su Cheng's path forward.

"Mr. Su, if it were you, would you tell your family about making so much money?"

Su Tianyan thought about it seriously.

He can.

But he didn't tell him immediately; he needed to create a buffer and build up the groundwork step by step.

When the Emperor Group was just starting out, Su Tianyan didn't tell anyone.

It was about six months or a year later that Su Tianyan revealed some money-making information to Tian Xiangwei.

However, Su Tianyan didn't reveal a single word to the Tian family or his close friends.

He originally intended for the Tian family to know, but after Tian Xiangwei passed away, he stopped blocking the news.

Therefore, to this day, the Tian family is still unaware of the power and influence of the Emperor Group.

"So, I think the young master might also be creating and laying the groundwork for a buffer period."

"The reason why the young master is not telling you now is because he is afraid that knowing this news will disrupt your normal life, and it can avoid a lot of trouble."

"Young Master wants to focus all his energy on his career."

Bai Zihua brought up a series of events, including borrowing money when he was sick, visiting the family, buying a house, and helping the Tian family.

The evidence and logical chain are very strong.

If Su Tianyan is told, many people will come to him to borrow money, and then continue to borrow money from Su Cheng.

And the Tian family.

After several encounters, Su Cheng must already know what kind of people the Tian family are, and she won't be biased by her mother's family.

Especially after Xue Yan's attempt to stay in Jingzhou, Su Cheng must already know their true nature.

"So it's normal that I didn't tell you."

"But not telling you now doesn't mean the young master won't tell you later."

"This is absolutely wonderful news for you and your family!"

"Young Master would certainly like to see you happy."

Su Tianyan nodded.

Bai Zihua is right.

He agreed with this reasoned and well-founded argument.

The only thing Su Tianyan regretted about this long holiday was that after they returned from the Tian family, they vented their emotions on Su Cheng in front of Ye Li.

This is not right.

"Hey, do you think Xiao Ye will think I'm a grumpy, low-class father-in-law?"

“I was driving so fast on the road, that was incredibly reckless, and then I yelled at the brat.”

Bai Zihua: ???

Old Su's concerns are valid, but his reasons for worrying are wrong.

Doesn't venting emotions lead to the transmission of negative emotions and cause harm to Xiaocheng's physical and mental health?
Why are you worried... that Ye Li will think he's a short-tempered and reckless father-in-law?
These two are fundamentally different.

The former was purely for Su Cheng's sake.

The latter was for the sake of Mr. Su's own face and image.

Bai Zihua remained silent.

But Long Ruoli kept trying to smooth things over for President Su.

"How could that be, Brother Tianyan?"

"Anyone who posts a scene like that would have negative emotions!"

"That's more like it!"

"If you didn't have any emotions or temper, Xiao Ye would think you were a slow-witted blockhead, hahaha~"

"Moreover."

"Didn't you explain to Xiaoye that those words weren't directed at her?"

Su Tianyan initially felt something was amiss.

After hearing what Long Ruoli said, he didn't feel so guilty anymore.

anyway.

Su Tianyan felt that Su Cheng's business activities some time ago could be categorized as speculation.

He was lucky, and his speculations were successful, so he made money.

But making money doesn't necessarily mean it's a good business. Speculation is normal in the early stages of entrepreneurship; it's the only way to accumulate initial capital.

One experience with this thing is enough; you don't need to do it too many times.

Since the Emperor Group cannot go bankrupt, Su Cheng does not need to build an empire from scratch.

He hopes that Su Cheng will focus all her energy on the group's internal affairs from now on.

Even if we don't ask him to expand his business empire further, as long as we can ensure that the assets of the Emperor Group don't shrink, we can achieve slow and steady growth.

Su Tianyan thought this requirement was not high; compared to the business tycoon he had previously desired, the standard had been lowered considerably.

no way.

Time is running out.

Su Tianyan was forced to accelerate this process.

What they need to do now is to get Su Cheng back on track.

"Here's what we'll do: offer him a higher annual salary and a higher position, and let him come back to work for the group."

"You and Zihua can discuss the specifics of how to say it and how to do it."

"Okay, Brother Tianyan, I'll ask Xiaocheng when we get back."

"Xiao Cheng shouldn't refuse. Didn't our expert analyze it last time? There's a high probability she'll agree."

at the same time.

Long Ruoli also offered another suggestion.

She believes Ye Li should also be brought back to the group.

"Brother Tianyan, our group also has a retail business. I think we can hand it over to Xiaoye to take charge of and let her carry out reforms. What do you think?"

She has already thought about it.

After returning home, Su Tianyan will definitely think about repaying Ye Li.

How could he, as the father-in-law, not express his gratitude?
Since we're already offering it, why don't she suggest we offer it?

They can at least collect some money.

Second.

If we can bring Ye Li back to the group, we can better restrict and strike against her.

and so.

She not only agreed to let Su Cheng return to the group, but Ye Li also had to return to the group.

And these two people have to be separated; they can't be together.

In this way, we can weaken Su Cheng's power and also use some means to reduce Ye Li's importance in Su Tianyan's heart.

She can strike them one by one more time.

"Hmm? I was just thinking about that!"

"It's too hard for a young girl to start her own business."

"I think so too. Let her return to the group and work with the backing of the Emperor Group."

Su Tianyan's only concern was the compatibility of their abilities.

"How could they not be a good match? Our Xiao Ye is so outstanding, I think she can definitely do a good job, no problem!"

"Okay, then there's no problem."

Su Tianyan really likes Ye Li.

Let her give it a try.

It's okay if you don't do well; just consider it practice.

Su Tianyan immediately set a standard for Ye Li.

A good job will be rewarded handsomely.

If you don't do well, you won't be punished; you'll be rewarded instead.

After all, carrying out reforms on the front lines is very hard work, with a huge workload, and requires a lot of sacrifice.

The criteria for a son to take over the family business should not be based on his daughter-in-law.

That would create chaos.

However, Su Tianyan also has certain requirements for his daughter-in-law.

Ye Li can not only be a good wife, but also has the ability to be Su Cheng's deputy.

Putting aside everything else, it should at least be at the K1 or K2 level.

It's good to get some experience within the company.

"Will she agree?"

"Brother Tianyan, leave this to me. Xiaoye will definitely agree."

"Row."

Bai Zihua didn't say anything, and Su Tianyan didn't ask for Bai's opinion either, so he and Long Ruoli made the decision.

Even if Bai makes a suggestion, he will agree with it.

It's a good thing that Ye Li can control a portion of the group's power.

We're currently in the retail department store business, but we'll gradually adjust our strategy in the future.

The premise is that Long Ruoli doesn't cause trouble.

"Where's that brat? Where do you plan to send him? Any ideas?"

Long Ruoli had already thought about this matter.

"Brother Tianyan, I think it would be better to send Xiaocheng to France to gain some experience overseas. He can't stay in the comfort zone of China forever."

Bai Zihua: ???

What comfort zone?

Where is the comfort?
Bai Zihua firmly opposed sending people overseas.

What's so special about France?

葡萄酒？
Luxury goods?
Beef or dairy products?

Let Su Cheng handle international trade in the food industry?

This is merely a peripheral business of the group, with no power or influence whatsoever.

The Geely Group does have other businesses in France.

Dihao Chemical, Dihao Pharmaceutical, Dihao Energy, and Dihao Aerospace are all doing quite well there.

But without exception.

All of these require Su Cheng to master cutting-edge technologies in the relevant fields.

It's not suitable for Su Cheng to go at all.

Even if they went, they wouldn't be able to achieve anything worthwhile to prove themselves.

Needless to say, energy.

The group is working on civilian nuclear energy there, which has higher requirements than other fields.

Firstly, there will be no breakthroughs in technology and R&D.

We can't expect Xiao Cheng to go there and come up with something like controlled nuclear fusion, can we?

The same applies to business; those things are basically transparent in the market.

If we're going to send Xiaocheng overseas, it would be better to send her to England than France.

England is the world's largest exporter of financial services, controls about 45% of global foreign exchange transactions, and is the nerve center of the global financial system.

This stuff is the backbone of England's economy, contributing over 80% of GDP.

The Dihao Group has a large-scale financial business there, including multiple sub-sectors such as banking, insurance, and asset management.

Moreover, Bai Zihua also played the family card.

"President Su, if we send the young master abroad, then you will have very, very few opportunities to meet him."

"If you miss the young master, you might not be able to see him. Your persona isn't strong enough to justify going abroad."

Su Tianyan seriously considered their proposal.

indeed.

The group's business in France is not suitable for the brat; it's mostly high-tech and peripheral businesses.

He will definitely get Su Cheng into the group's core business.

What Bai Zihua just said was quite good.

Sending the brat to the UK to hone his skills in the financial industry seems like a good decision.

As for whether or not they meet... Su Tianyan didn't really care.

It's okay if we don't see each other.

He can just keep an eye on his son from behind.

If you really want to, just make a video call.

However, it usually doesn't happen.

Su Tianyan wanted his son to spend his final days with him.

But the education plan does not allow it.

Therefore, he had no choice but to let go of this family bond.

He should just keep his efforts to himself.

Su Tianyan sighed for himself, realizing he had made another sacrifice.

It's nothing.

He has always been a sacrifice in Su Cheng's education plan.

As long as Su Cheng understands his good intentions later, that's fine.
