Chapter 40 Liu Family
In Linhai City, at the gate of Jianxin Electronics Company.
Liu Jianhua, who is in his 50s, was dressed in formal attire and stood at the door with his tall and strong son Liu Neng, waiting for the arrival of the vice president of Deli Electric Headquarters.
Puzzles flashed in Liu Jianhua's eyes from time to time. This capable Vice President Ye was of extraordinary status. As the vice president of a listed company in the electrical industry ranked top three in the country, it was difficult for ordinary people to meet him on a daily basis.
What puzzled him was that there was no business dealings between Deli Electric and his own Jianxin Electronics, not to mention that even if there were business dealings, there would be no need for him, a high-ranking vice president, to come in person.
"Dad, how long are we going to wait? I'll go in and sit for a while."
Liu Neng, the youngest son beside him, spoke impatiently as he walked into the company lobby.
"Get back here and stand here honestly!"
Liu Neng didn't dare to refute after hearing this. He withdrew his steps in disappointment, but his face showed that he was obviously unhappy.
"I'm warning you. The person who will be here soon is of extraordinary status. Put away your second-generation rich look. Your brother won't be as impatient as you."
Liu Jianhua glared at his son, who was a head taller than him, and saw impatience on his face. He opened his mouth but didn't say anything more.
Soon, two luxury cars drove into the company's gate one after another, and Liu Jianhua hurriedly walked forward before the cars stopped.
He opened the back door with a slightly unfamiliar movement, looked at the person sitting inside, Ye Hongzhi, and said quickly: "Welcome, Mr. Ye, to my humble home. This small place of mine is really honored."
It's not that he was pretending to be so attentive. The real reason is that the market value of Deli Electric's entire company is as high as hundreds of billions, which is completely incomparable to Jianxin Electronics.
Ye Hongzhi was not as difficult to get along with as he had imagined. Instead, he got out of the car in a very friendly manner and shook hands with him.
"Mr. Liu, you are too polite. I am here because I need your help with a personal matter. I apologize for the inconvenience. Who is this?"
His eyes swept over the tall boy standing nearby with a sullen look on his face. His face was obviously very similar to Liu Jun's younger brother in the information, so he smiled and asked.
"Oh, this is my son. Liu Neng, why don't you come over and call for help? This is your Uncle Ye."
Liu Jianhua followed his gaze. Although Ye Hongzhi was old, he was still very smart because he had been immersed in the business world for many years. Hearing Ye Hongzhi repeatedly emphasize that he was here for a private matter, he immediately asked Liu Neng to call someone to show his closeness and try to get closer to the two sides.
Although Liu Neng didn't like this kind of social interaction, he didn't dare to disobey his father at this time, so he could only step forward and said with a little reluctance in his tone: "Hello Uncle Ye, my name is Liu Neng."
"Good boy, it's true that a good father will have a good son."
"Haha, this kid doesn't deserve your praise. Come on, Mr. Ye, this way please."
As he spoke, Liu Jianhua led him into the company.
Everyone came into the reception room, and after a round of polite exchanges, Ye Hongzhi stated his purpose.
"Brother Liu, I'll be honest with you. The reason I asked you to come this time is because of Mr. Liu Jun from your family."
Hearing this, Liu Jianhua showed a trace of fear on his face. He subconsciously thought that his son had been hanging around outside for too long and had somehow offended this big Buddha in front of him.
He immediately said, "Boss Ye, Liu Jun has never held any position in Jianxin. You don't have to praise him like this. That brat is a wild kid who lost his mother when he was young. I have neglected to discipline him over the years. If I have offended you in any way, I apologize to you here. I am really sorry."
Ye Hongzhi did not dare to be arrogant, and quickly stopped Liu Jianhua from speaking and said, "Don't dare to say anything nonsense. It's also my fault that I didn't explain it to you in advance. If you ask me, your son is really amazing."
As he spoke, he inadvertently glanced at Liu Neng, who was already daydreaming, and shook his head secretly.
"Looking at the situation, you probably don't know. That's right. Xinghai, where Mr. Liu works, does not have any business to cooperate with Jianxin."
These words made Liu Jianhua, who was originally shocked, confused.
Ye Hongzhi did not keep anyone in suspense and directly told everyone what Liu Jun was doing now, and gave a brief introduction to Xinghai Technology, a company that was established less than a year ago.
After saying this, Ye Hongzhi's forehead was slightly sweaty. It had been many years since he had spoken to someone in this tone for such a long time. Although pretending was really tiring, he had no choice. This was the only way he could think of.
After hearing his words, the expression on Liu Jianhua's old face changed several times.
No matter how rich his imagination was, he could never have imagined that his eldest son, whom he thought was impulsive, would now be the vice president of Xinghai Technology.
Together with the founder of the other company, the two of them worked step by step and developed a company with a registered capital of only 50,000 yuan into a rule maker in the battery industry in just half a year.
Even now, the vice president of Deli Electric, which was once ranked among the top three in the industry, doesn't even have the opportunity to visit.
His gaze turned to his youngest son Liu Neng, who was standing in a daze, and his mind began to become confused.
"Brother Liu? Are you still listening?"
Noticing that Liu Jianhua's eyes beside him suddenly began to become empty, Ye Hongzhi hurriedly called out softly.
Liu Jianhua came back to his senses, and the turbidity in his eyes instantly dissipated. Then he tapped his forehead and said, "Hey, look at me, it's easy to be absent-minded when you get older. Mr. Ye, please continue."
Ye Hongzhi nodded, then sighed, "Isn't it that Ma Gaosheng, the general manager of our company's Linhai branch, has offended Xinghai? Now Deli has arrested Ma Gaosheng through the legal department. I came to Linhai just for this matter. I'll be frank here. If it's convenient, please give me some face and help me arrange a meeting with General Manager Liu."
After a pause, he seemed to be a little embarrassed to speak: "Brother, I really have no other choice. Maybe it's because Mr. Ye and Mr. Liu are still young. Young people are more energetic. I understand. But it's hard for me. I can't even get a chance to meet you. Isn't this why I come to you, my brother?"
So that's how it is. After understanding the whole story, Liu Jianhua didn't know what to say for a moment.
He couldn't help but rub his temples with a tired look.
Seeing this, Ye Hongzhi quickly said, "Don't worry, brother. I just want to meet with Mr. Liu and apologize to Mr. Liu and Mr. Ye in person for the mistake Ma Gaosheng made. After the matter is done, there will be a generous reward."
He didn't care to be frank, and his face actually turned slightly red when he said this bluntly.
One misstep can lead to eternal regret.
When Liu Jianhua, who was sitting opposite him, heard the last eight words, his eyes flashed with a gleam, and then he said with great embarrassment: "Mr. Ye, you don't have to do this. It's really not that I'm trying to shirk my responsibility, but it's really hard to say. Liu Jun ran away from home because of me. How can I have the face to contact him again now?"
Ye Hongzhi cursed inwardly, but his face showed no sign of anger. He quickly said, "I won't let you be the middleman for nothing. How about the building of our Linhai branch? If this is done, I will give the building to your company as a gift."
Liu Jianhua's eyes were filled with disbelief. After hearing this, he began to wonder if he had asked for too much.
That is a high-end office building with more than 20 floors, located not far from the science and technology park, and the land price alone is nearly 100 million yuan.
But Ye Hongzhi didn't care. If he couldn't take over Xinghai, Deli's market share in the battery field would be completely eaten up by major companies including Xinghai.
He couldn't afford this loss, after all, Ma Gaosheng was his man.
It's just a commercial office building, which can be used as collateral to pay off the loss to Jianxin Electronics.
As the vice president of the headquarters and a major shareholder, he has this right.
"Dad, why are you still hesitating? You can just use the excuse of my marriage to call my eldest brother over. I don't believe he won't come back."
Liu Jianhua looked at his younger son who had come back to his senses, with a helpless look on his face, and he stopped worrying about it.
Now it seems that his choice was wrong.
With Liu Neng's level of understanding, he has no idea whether he can keep the family business in the future.
He turned to Ye Hongzhi and said, "Since Mr. Ye has said so much, I will give it a try."
