Chapter 277: After seeing so much, maybe your heart has become hardened!
Suvarnabhumi International Airport!
As one of Bangkok's largest airports, it is known for its modern facilities and extensive international flight network.
Originally, Su Chen planned to just find a random flight to fly back to China, but Ye Feng refused to do so and insisted on arranging for Ye Group's private jet to take him back, which he could not refuse.
He said, "The private jet is just sitting there anyway. If you refuse, it means you don't consider him a brother!"
Now that these words have been spoken, what else can Su Chen do but nod in agreement.
In the VIP lounge of the business jet terminal, Su Chen and others were sitting leisurely on the sofa area chatting, waiting for notification from the airport.
It was Su Chen's bad luck. He had planned to fly back to China early in the morning, but happened to encounter heavy fog.
When I asked the airport staff, I was told that the standards for take-off would not be met until around noon.
Everyone could only stay in the VIP room and chat to kill time.
"I plan to stay here for a few more days and talk to the leaders of those families to see if it's possible to take them all down."
Ye Feng shook off the cigarette ash on his hand, and then continued: "If it really doesn't work, I will cooperate with those small and medium-sized families through the Zheng family. No matter what, it's a piece of meat, and it's easy to report back when I go back!"
Big families also have their own difficulties, especially for the heirs of big families like Ye Feng. As long as he does not become the ruler of the family, he will have a hard life.
Of course, he can also give up or start his own business, and appear in various bars and parties every day driving various luxury cars. As long as he does not want to become the person in charge of the Ye Group, it can be said that Ye Feng lives more freely than anyone else.
Unfortunately, sometimes, some decisions are not up to us to make, but Ye Feng also has his own ambitions and wants to carve out a world of his own.
"Take your time. Some things cannot be rushed. After all, the families in Southeast Asia have been cultivating for decades or even hundreds of years. If you rush in, it will only make them worry."
"You have to eat one mouthful at a time. If you eat too fast, you will choke to death."
Su Chen knew that Ye Feng was a little too excited now, and wanted to strike while the iron was hot and get something done as soon as possible. However, if things were so easy to handle, there wouldn't be so many families in Southeast Asia. They would have been swallowed up by those big international conglomerates long ago.
Ye Feng nodded silently after hearing that. Although he also wanted to talk to a few more families, those big families had their own concerns, so he could only focus on those small and medium-sized families for the time being.
It was soon eleven o'clock, and the airport staff trotted into the VIP lounge to tell Su Chen that they could board the plane. The fog at the airport had now dissipated.
"Then I will go back to my country first, and see you in Inner Mongolia then!" Su Chen stood up and patted Ye Feng's arm and said, then thought for a while and called Adam who came to see him off.
"Adam, you also know him, the person in charge of IPS Southeast Asia. If you need anything, you can call him. After all, they are more convenient in these countries than us!"
Although Su Chen's words were not very clear, Ye Feng understood the meaning as soon as he heard them. It was nothing more than that if he encountered something that he could not handle, he should call Adam for help.
"Okay~ I won't say thank you or anything like that, we're all brothers!" Ye Feng smiled, stretched out his right hand, and gently hit Su Chen's chest.
At the same time, he also signaled Su Chen to hurry up and board the plane. After all, the airport routes are very tight, and it is impossible to stop other flights just to wait for you.
Su Chen did not say any words of greeting. After all, they would meet again in a few days. He took Chen Fei and the five-member group and, under the guidance of the airport staff, got on the airport shuttle bus and headed towards the apron for the private jet.
After arriving at the tarmac, Su Chen discovered that the Ye Group's private jet was not simple. It was a private jet converted from a Boeing 787 large passenger aircraft. Not only was the interior space large, it was also quite luxurious, and many places were made of pure gold.
Su Chen even saw a lot of porcelain used as decorative ornaments. Even though Su Chen knew nothing about it, he knew that these things were real.
After all, if something can be placed on the Ye Group’s private jet, it can’t be considered a real thing.
"Tsk tsk tsk~ It's really luxurious!" Su Chen sighed softly.
Among them are fine porcelains such as blue and white porcelain and pastel porcelain.
When Su Chen landed at Pudong Airport, it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon. As soon as he got off the plane, he saw Pei Rang standing on the road next to the apron.
"You've been here for a long time, right?" Su Chen asked with a smile.
"No~ I just got here about ten minutes ago. It was very fast to come here from the company headquarters, only about thirty kilometers away. The whole route was elevated, and it only took me half an hour to get there!" Pei Rang explained hurriedly.
After saying that, he immediately called Su Chen and others to get in the car, "Boss, get in the car first. This Pudong Airport is close to the sea, and the wind is quite cold."
Su Chen nodded and got into Pei Rang's Maybach. What surprised him was that the driver was not Xue Yi, whom Su Chen knew, but a middle-aged man.
Su Chen had seen this man before. When he went to Suzhou, it was this man who sent him and Jiang Hui back. His name seemed to be... Lao Liu!
It seemed that he was a private driver arranged for Pei Rang by the company's car team. After chatting with him for a while, he seemed to be a very honest person.
"Mr. Su!" Old Liu greeted Su Chen with a smile when he saw him.
Su Chen smiled faintly and nodded in response.
There were two cars arranged for the airport pick-up this time, one was the Maybach that Su Chen was sitting in, and the other was a business car. After Chen Fei and others loaded the luggage into the car, they slowly drove away from the airport.
Along the way, Su Chen leaned back in his seat with his eyes closed, his hands clasped across his chest, as if he was resting.
When they were halfway through the journey, Su Chen suddenly asked, "How is the group progressing now?"
Hearing Su Chen's question, Pei Rang, who was originally resting with his eyes closed, was startled and woke up instantly. He quickly took over the conversation and responded: "The group has completed the reorganization, and the subsidiaries of the company are now on the right track!"
"In addition." Pei Rang was about to talk about the technical matters, but when he remembered that it was Lao Liu who was driving, he changed the subject and said, "In addition, there is something else I need to ask the boss for your opinion."
Hearing this, Su Chen's eyes, which were originally closed, immediately opened. He looked at Pei Rang beside him with a puzzled expression, but did not say anything. He just signaled him to continue with his eyes.
"It's also a matter for the headquarters. In addition to the seven buildings, the Innovation Park also has one square kilometer of open space. I'm thinking about using it to build a commercial complex. The houses can be used as rewards for outstanding employees of the group."
"The shopping mall below can be used as a consumption place for internal employees. Of course, it can also be used for the entire Zhangjiang Science Park. There are some high-tech companies here, and the demand is still very large."
After listening to Pei Rang's story, Su Chen looked at Pei Rang in surprise. He never thought that Pei Rang would come up with such a plan. Isn't this just stealing the jobs of Zhangjiang Science and Technology City?
However, this plan is indeed very good. With the completion of the group headquarters, the company's headcount is also expanding rapidly. Adding the number of people in other branches in Shanghai, there are at least one or two thousand people.
At that time, whether it is eating or consumption, it will be a big problem. Instead of this, it is better to do it in one step and build a commercial complex to meet internal needs.
In addition to various delicacies, some entertainment facilities can also be built, such as badminton courts, tennis courts, etc. By the way, a large karting track can also be built.
With food and entertainment, leisure is of course not to be left out. There are various beauty salons and massage rooms, and the main purpose is to serve the group's employees.
Our own business is not just about making money. Not only are the prices cheap and affordable, but it can also help improve employee cohesion. Why not do it?
"I agree with your plan. Is the current funding of the group sufficient to build the commercial complex you planned?"
Pei Rang was so excited when he heard Su Chen agreed to his plan, and he quickly responded: "Yes! The group currently has nearly 3 billion in liquid funds. I plan to use 1 billion to build this project."
"I guarantee that it will not affect the normal operation of the company!" Su Chen frowned slightly when he heard this, not for anything else, but for the working capital in the company's account. The 3 billion yuan in working capital can be said to be one of the best in the country.
The reason why he frowned was that he was wondering why Pei Rang left so much liquid funds, and whether he intercepted funds from other subsidiaries just to build the commercial complex.
Su Chen did not want to see the rapid development of other subsidiaries being delayed due to the construction of a commercial complex.
Pei Rang also saw Su Chen's frown. At first he thought it was about the 1 billion he had taken out to build a commercial complex, but he quickly realized that it should be the working capital in the company's accounts.
He quickly explained, "Boss, the reason why we keep so much liquid funds in the company's accounts is to prevent any unexpected events. If any of the subsidiaries encounters any problems, the funds can be transferred quickly."
"I promise that I have not withheld any development funds from any of the company's subsidiaries!"
Su Chen nodded slightly when he heard this. He also knew that Pei Rang didn't have the courage to do such a thing. However, it would be a pity to keep such a large amount of money in the account as emergency funds.
After thinking for a moment, Su Chen responded, "There is no need to keep so much money in the company's account. Leave 500 million and invest all the rest except the budget for building the commercial complex."
"As for whether you invest in the stock market or acquire a company, I don't care, but you can't just leave the money there. If there is too much money in the account, it will inevitably give rise to some dirty thoughts!"
"Of course, I'm not talking about you. You, Pei, give me 100% trust."
"No matter how careful you are, you can never guard against a thief in your own home. There are always some people who like to take risks. You should pay attention to this aspect!" Su Chen looked at Pei Rang meaningfully.
The company is big and there are all kinds of people. As long as it is within the company's regulations, making some money is not a big deal. But if you violate the regulations, then I'm sorry.
"Is this the boss calling me?" Pei Rang shuddered and felt cold sweat running down his entire back.
He thought that there was a worm in the back of the group and the boss knew about it. For a moment, Pei Rang felt a little dazed.
"Pa~" Su Chen's slap landed lightly on Pei Rang's shoulder, and Pei Rang, who was daydreaming, immediately came back to his senses.
"Boss, is there some kind of corrupt official in the company? No matter who it is, we will punish them severely!"
Hearing this, Su Chen didn't react for a moment, but when he thought about what he had just said and Pei Rang's expression change, he realized that Pei Rang had misunderstood.
"You think too much. I'm just reminding you. The company is taking bigger and bigger steps now, so you need to be more aware of this, so that when something like this happens, it will be too late to make up for it."
Hearing this, Pei Rang breathed a sigh of relief, glad that there was no problem with the group, but his expression turned serious the next second.
"Boss, don't worry. The group's audit department has been established. We guarantee that there won't be any instigators!"
There is no wall that is completely airtight, so it is naturally impossible to guarantee that everyone is not corrupt or accepting bribes.
However, Pei Rang's attitude still made Su Chen very satisfied.
Soon Maybach stopped downstairs of the group headquarters. After taking a look, it walked inside under the leadership of Pei Rang.
"Hello, Mr. Pei~"
"Hello, Mr. Pei!"
As soon as he entered the building, he heard the endless greetings from the employees, and Pei Rang nodded politely in response.
It was not until they entered the exclusive elevator that Pei Rang smiled and said to Su Chen: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, boss!"
"Don't be embarrassed or not. I see that those employees respect you very much. This shows that you are trustworthy in their hearts. You..." Su Chen looked at Pei Rang seriously and said, "Well done!"
"Thank you for the compliment, boss!" Pei Rang's eyes almost narrowed with laughter. For Pei Rang, it was a great honor to be recognized by Su Chen.
If Su Chen had not trusted him and handed Yunmengze to him, Pei Rang might still be working as a product manager on Wall Street, struggling for hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.
Where is the current CEO of Yunmengze Group - Pei Rang!
The elevator goes directly to the thirteenth floor where the senior executives' offices are located. There are only three offices on the entire thirteenth floor. In addition to Pei Rang's, the remaining two are Zong Xinyao's and Li Li's.
However, Li Li is currently with the Russians, in charge of mine-related matters, and does not know anything about the group headquarters.
As for Zong Xinyao, Su Chen ran into her as soon as he got out of the elevator. She was wearing a professional OL outfit and was talking about something with her secretary. When she saw Su Chen appear, she hurried forward to say hello.
"Boss, you're finally here. I have something to report to you!" As he said that, he took a document from the secretary's hand and pretended to report his work to Su Chen.
This swift and resolute manner really made Su Chen dumbfounded, and he said unhappily: "Can you wait for me to go to the office and sit down, have a cup of tea, and then report on the work."
As soon as these words were spoken, the secretary following behind Zong Xinyao couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Zong Xinyao turned around and glared at the secretary, which scared the secretary to death.
Seeing this, Pei Rang on the side hurriedly greeted, "Boss, please come this way, my office is here!" After that, he took the initiative to lead Su Chen towards his office.
After Zong Xinyao gave her secretary some instructions, she hurriedly followed.
After a burst of tea fragrance, everyone held a cup in their hands and tasted it carefully. Su Chen then looked at Zong Xinyao and asked, "Tell me, what do you want to report?"
Zong Xinyao immediately put down the teacup in her hand and handed the document to Su Chen with both hands, saying, "Boss, this is the canteen you asked us to open before, but it's not a three-yuan canteen, but a one-yuan canteen."
"We have opened nearly 100 restaurants across the country, and the initial results are quite good. I have also made another plan to improve the school diet in mountainous areas. I hope you can take a look at it, boss."
"Hmm?" After Su Chen took a quick look at the cafeteria's data, he shifted his attention to the diet plan that Zong Xinyao mentioned.
The only purpose is to let the children in the mountainous areas eat better.
When Su Chen saw some photos interspersed in the plan and the children studying, his heart suddenly tightened.
There was just a small washbasin, which was only about one-third full. There were more than twenty students queuing up to eat, and the food in it was a hodgepodge of cabbage, radish, potatoes and the like.
Not to mention the meat, there wasn't even a drop of oil or water to be seen.
Soon Su Chen finished reading Zong Xinyao's so-called plan to improve the diet in mountainous areas. It was not a plan at all, but just a presentation chart that clearly showed the difficulties faced by children in mountainous areas in studying.
"I agree with this plan. In the future, the focus will be on children in mountainous areas. You can decide how to implement it specifically. If you need anything, just contact Pei Rang for coordination!" Su Chen closed the document in his hand and said seriously.
"Boss, you are such a good person!" Zong Xinyao spoke without restraint when she heard that, and gave Su Chen a good guy card in front of everyone.
Su Chen's eyes moved slightly when he heard this, and he said with some melancholy: "I am not a good person at all, I just haven't seen too much suffering in the world!"
"Maybe I'll get hardened by the time I see more of them!"
There are so many sufferings in this world, how can we possibly help them?
Su Chen was only trying to lend a helping hand within the scope of his ability, but for more, they still had to rely on themselves!
