Chapter 1201 Someone Has a Trick up His Sleeve
Bai Qian finally accepted Yang Dongxu's proposal because she found that if she continued to manage Baijia, she would very likely manage herself to become an enemy, even if everything was for the good of Baijia.
However, Bai Qian did not follow Yang Dongxu's suggestion that he would make up for the previous expenses by making the cosmetics industry independent, and then leave everything to the Bai family.
Instead, he had an in-depth talk with his father and brother Baian, and talked about the future of the cosmetics industry in a simple and in-depth way, as well as his many feasible plans.
Then prepare to let Baian take over the industry and start from the bottom, slowly becoming a manager. But in the end, although his father Bai Qiansong felt that what his daughter said made sense, Bai An was not interested in it at all.
Although he did not refute what his sister Bai Qian said, he even felt that Bai Qian's words made sense. But he didn't want to continue living in the shadow of his sister, so he insisted on getting some real estate.
The only thing that makes Bai Qian happy is that Baian allows her to continue working in the cosmetics industry, so the money does not need to be paid back to Baijia. Think of it as Bai Qian's reward for working for Baijia for so many years.
But in the end, Bai Qian still opened her mouth to Yang Dongxu and counted all the previous expenses in the cosmetics industry as progress and deposited them into her bank account. And gave the money to his father Bai Qiansong.
In fact, now is the best time to separate and draw clear lines, because after several years of rectification, Baijia's industry has been very concentrated and divided into two parts, one is the cable factory. One is the cash that Baiqian exchanged for mobile shares after pushing it down.
Bai Qiansong and his son Baian had a clear understanding of this fact, and neither of them thought of selling the last bit of Mobile shares as a family heirloom.
So the only part of the handover was the sale of China Mobile's shares and the cash in Baiqian's hands. Baijia's other properties were all trivial matters, and neither Bai Qiansong nor Baian actually cared about them.
Therefore, as long as the money invested in the cosmetics industry is spent, the separation will basically be completed. On the surface, the family is still one family, but in fact, Bai Qiansong and Baian are in charge of Baijia's property.
"Why do you feel uncomfortable?" In a high-end health club, Bai Feng took his son from the nanny's hands and kissed him hard on the face after finishing his maintenance.
Compared to the strong woman who is more resolute and more capable than her husband in public, Bai Feng is now like a naughty mother. Childishly, she nibbled on her son's little face, and when the other person waved her little hands and pushed her away, she nibbled on the other cheek, making her son dislike her as a mother.
"I just don't know why it turned out like this." Bai Qian washed off the skin care products on her face and teased the little guy enviously. The two iron ladies, who were very famous in the entire Beijing circle, now seemed like two ordinary women doing housework.
"To put it bluntly, everything is driven by interests. To put it more clearly, everyone feels that their talents are not appreciated. They think that if they have our money and the resources we have, they will definitely do better than us two women.
There is a saying that Yang Dongxu is right about. If you procrastinate any longer, you will eventually turn against your father and brother. The biggest problem here is that you are a woman. Although you will not get married, you will have children of your own.
Even if you don't have children of your own, your brother will get married and have children of his own, and you will always be an outsider. Even if your daughter is not married. "Bai Feng spoke very directly.
"I just want to..." Bai Qian opened her mouth, and finally could only sigh.
In fact, she understood everything. The biggest reason was that he was a daughter. Even though she did better than most men, she was the most suitable leader of Baijia.
But whether it is his father Bai Qiansong or his younger brother Baian. None of them have the courage to admit their shortcomings, admit that their daughter is good enough, and that they are indeed not as good as her daughter. Such contradictions exist naturally and cannot be reconciled.
"Okay, don't have any knots. Now that you have made the distinction, you will feel lighter. Since they think they are the most suitable successor to the Bai Family, then let the Bai Family do what they want. You can let go and do your own thing. matter.
In the future, if they fail, you can just support them, but even relatives should be careful in the future, and don't do the same thing as now. Sometimes relatives hurt people, which is more heartbreaking than those of outsiders. "
"Do you really want to invest in the film and television industry?" Bai Qian couldn't help but asked curiously.
"There's nothing we can do about it. The telecommunications company is developing so well now. I don't have the ability of a man like you to do whatever you want in the company, but I'm becoming more and more constrained.
The Wei family is a big family, so if they don't want to be in financial trouble, they can only find other ways to make money. The real estate market is too muddy. The Wei family already has a stake in Telecom and can no longer get in.
The technology industry is a good project, but there is too much initial start-up capital. If you want to go, you can only try it in the film and television industry. In fact, it is just a common sense, it is good to make money. It doesn’t matter if you don’t make money, except this time I also tried several other investments. "Bai Feng said helplessly.
Bai Qian nodded in understanding.
The better the development of a state-owned enterprise, the less likely it is that it will be unable to become a one-spoken enterprise. After all, this involves the country's foundation. Therefore, the higher the senior management of many state-owned enterprises, the less room they have to move freely, because stability of such enterprises is better than anything else. She, who was once the boss of China Mobile, understands the rules here very well.
This is actually one of the reasons why she retired after she succeeded. With the Wei family behind her, Bai Feng couldn't let go and act freely. Instead, she had to be careful everywhere. If she stayed in that position without anyone behind her, it would be unpredictable.
"I heard that the cosmetics industry is good. Can I get involved?" Looking at Bai Xi, Bai Feng said half-jokingly while holding her son.
"Now the whole company is nominally mine, but it's actually Dong Xu's. You know him, he likes to eat alone the most, and he probably won't agree.
But if you really don't have any good investment projects, you can try investing in agricultural products." Bai Xi said.
There was no detour in her words. After all, they were all smart people, so there was no need to hide.
"Agricultural products?" Bai Feng frowned.
"Edible oil, rice, flour, or organic agricultural products are all fine. When I was screening investment projects before, I did some research in this area.
Dong Xu also analyzed it for me before. In fact, these can all be invested. It's just that compared with the cosmetics industry, these projects have a relatively large initial basic investment, and they also invest a lot of human resources, so I finally chose the more troublesome cosmetics industry."
"Show me the information you investigated before." Bai Feng seemed very interested in these.
The Wei family is not afraid of large investments, nor of large connections, and these can become the threshold for people to enter this industry.
As a strong woman, although she heard that investing in agriculture was a little different, she would not look down on this industry like other investors who were not good at it.
Clothing, food, housing, and transportation are closely related to people's lives. No matter which one is done well, you can make a lot of money. It's just that because the basic investment is too much and the profit margin is not very high, you can only take the way of small profits and quick turnover to accumulate a lot.
Many people feel that such an industry is a bit unpresentable, and it is not as profitable as finance and mining. Therefore, many investors who want to show their ambitions want to make money and save face at the same time, so they don't choose such an industry.
But others feel that this industry is too slow to make money, but it is exactly what Bai Feng needs. The Wei family needs money and reputation, so investing in such a livelihood industry is a benefit to the Wei family as long as it makes money, no matter how slow it is, it is a benefit, not a trouble, no matter how much it is.
"I'll ask my assistant to sort out the documents and send them to you later. If you really want to do this, you can look abroad. Domestically, there is actually a fixed amount of agricultural products each year, so there is more room for operation in imports, and the government not only supports this, but also provides subsidies." Bai Xi had a deep understanding of the agricultural products industry before, so she knew more.
"I'll ask Wei Fei when I get home tonight if he has any friends in the Ministry of Agriculture, and ask him to find out the policies." Bai Feng nodded thoughtfully.
Then she changed the subject and teased Bai Feng: "I heard that your man brought back another concubine?"
Betsy was stunned for a moment, then realized who Bai Feng was talking about: "She is the little princess of the Spencer family, and she doesn't like Yang Dongxu, a peasant."
"If he were a peasant, we would all be beggars. But you have to be careful, your man is too good, and that woman dared to help him with a letter that would be disapproving."
"I know a little about Dai'er's affairs, and Dongxu has already paid the favor. Now the two of us can only be regarded as collaborators."
"Like a collaborator like Li Fuzhen?" Bai Feng looked at Betsy with a smile.
Betsy couldn't help but frown and look at Bai Feng, with a little doubt on her face: "Why are you suddenly interested in this matter, or did you hear something?"
"Some people are eyeing the money in the hands of this little princess, and even many people feel that they can get both money and beauty. What's more important is that she is a top family in the UK. Marrying her is not only face-saving, but also a step into the top upper class of the UK." Bai Feng showed a mocking look at the corner of his mouth.
"The opposite sex is open, right?" Betsy looked a little stunned.
Those who can pursue Dai'er, some clichés say that they are well-matched. There are indeed several families in China, but the rising stars of such families basically go on a career path, and it is impossible to marry a foreign wife like Dai'er if you go on a career path.
What's more, the Spencer family behind Dai'er is also a political family. In this regard, the people of these big families are more traditional than the grassroots people.
But after a moment of hesitation, Betsy thought of something and said with some surprise: "Those wealthy merchants?"
