Chapter 504 Reassurance

Takahashi Iwao didn't expect that Suning would value talents so much, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that it was indeed the case. All walks of life are successful because of people, but at the same time, many large companies fail because of people. The talent issue is indeed the most important and often the most easily overlooked thing.

"Hyungjun, I'll keep an eye out for recruiting."

"Uncle Gaoqiao, how can we do it on our own?" Su Ning was suddenly amused by Gaoqiao Yan's idea, and then explained his point of view with a smile, "Even if you and I were exhausted, we could not find a few real talents. Finding talents still requires formal training and vision. It is a profound knowledge and profession."

"Huh? Hyungjun, what do you mean?"

"Uncle, choose a headhunting company with good qualifications, acquire it directly, and run it well. Just keep an eye on talents from all walks of life and create files for them. When you need them, you can find them directly."

"Headhunting company?"

"Yes! We should take a long-term view." Suning leaned back in his chair comfortably. He felt himself only when he communicated with Takahashi Iwa.

"Hengjun, I didn't expect you to be so ambitious." Takahashi Iwao couldn't help but be shocked.

"Uncle Gaoqiao, what do you think of my grandfather Chen Yangzhe?"

"Your grandfather?" Takahashi Yanyi looked at Suning in surprise, then carefully recalled the information he knew. "Your grandfather started from scratch, struggled all the way to maintain Shunyang, and then grew it into the Korean corporate giant it is today. He is indeed very capable."

"Yes! He is very capable, but his vision is too narrow."

"Ah? What?" Takahashi Iwao widened his eyes. He didn't expect his grandson to evaluate his grandfather like this.

"Uncle Gaoqiao, a massive aircraft carrier requires the concerted efforts of thousands of people. But my grandfather only cares about the Chen family's garlic. Shunyang Group's strength is doomed to fail."

"Huh?" Takahashi Iwa was stunned when he heard Suning's words.

"If I were your grandfather, I wouldn't hand Shunyang over to any relative. I would hand him over to the most suitable person, so that I don't have to worry about the future."

"Hengjun, you think too simply. Those who have the inheritance rights will not be willing to accept it." Takahashi Iwaichi shook his head with a wry smile.

"Those with ability will be given important positions, and those without ability will be supported with shares. It's useless even if they are unwilling." Suning really disdains those uncles.

"Hey! You young people are really open-minded." Takahashi Iwaichi also looked at Su Ning with admiration. This kind of hiring standard is not something that ordinary people can accept. "Hyungjun, I know what you mean. I will pay more attention to the headhunting company."

"Well, uncle, I'm at ease with you doing things."

"Hengjun, I heard that your grandfather just bought a semiconductor company not long ago. Should we also enter the semiconductor field?"

"Well, semiconductors are indeed important, but now is not the right time." Suning agreed with Takahashi Iwaichi's vision. "At the very least, we should wait until the dust settles on the Japan-US semiconductor dispute, and then we can absorb nutrients from one of the corpses."

"Uh? Hyungjun, who do you think will win, Japan or the United States?"

"Haha, have you ever seen a son beat his father?" Su Ning said disdainfully. Then, he suddenly remembered Takahashi Iwaichi's identity and immediately apologized awkwardly, "Uncle Takahashi, I'm sorry! I forgot you're Japanese too."

"It's okay! You are right. Japan has no chance of winning in this Japan-US conflict." Takahashi Iwaichi said with a wry smile.

"Yes! In fact, we can now consider contacting and researching the Japanese semiconductor industry. Once Japan is completely defeated, we can take direct action."

"Hengjun, since Japanese semiconductors are going to fail, if we take over, won't we still be unable to develop? Will American semiconductor companies regard us as Japanese semiconductor companies?" Takahashi Iwaichi looked at Suning worriedly.

"Uncle Takahashi, I have also thought about the problem you are considering, so I plan to acquire Japan's semiconductor industry and then bring it all to China, a sovereign country. Only in this way will there be a glimmer of hope." Suning explained to Takahashi Iwaichi confidently.

"Ah? Hengjun, no wonder you were the first to invest in a headhunting company. It turns out your talent layout covers the whole world."

"Uncle Takahashi, how about it? Do you want to play a game with your nephew?"

"Okay! I must get involved in such an exciting thing." Takahashi Iwaichi was also excited by Suning.

That night, Suning said that Gao Qiaoyan would stay at Chen's house for dinner, and asked Shen's mother to make two servings of kimchi soup, and let Gao Qiaoyan taste Shen's mother's cooking skills.

Shen's mother looked at the dishes carefully prepared by the Chen family's female workers and suddenly felt a little ashamed of herself. Noticing Shen's mother's admiring look, Lin's mother smiled and explained in Korean, "Aunt Shen, Master Hengjun usually doesn't eat Korean food. Maybe he thinks our food is not authentic."

"Ah? You can speak Korean?" Shen's mother looked at Lin's mother in surprise.

"Yes! We joined the Chen family because I could speak Korean."

"Ah? You are Korean too?" Shen's mother couldn't help but feel surprised, as if she had met an old friend in a foreign land.

"No! I'm Chinese Korean."

After the servants brought the food, Suning and Takahashi Iwaichi started eating. Takahashi Iwaichi first tasted the kimchi soup and found that it was no different from the kimchi soup he drank, and then he understood everything.

"Mm, this kimchi soup is really good."

"Haha, Aunt Shen was hired by me with a high salary." Su Ning knew that it was impossible to hide it from the smart Takahashi Iwaichi.

"Mother Lin, I invited Aunt Shen here specially. I hope you all can get along well."

"Yes! Master."

"Well, if Aunt Shen doesn't understand the situation in Hong Kong in the future, please help her, Aunt Lin."

"Yes! Master! I understand."

"Ah."

Soon, when the servants had all gone, only Suning and Takahashi Iwao were left at the table. Takahashi Iwao was eating while looking at Suning curiously, "Hyungjun, what do you think of the Japanese?"

"As for me! I treat everyone equally. In the future, whether it's the semiconductor industry or other real industries, they will actually need talents from all over the world."

"Well, I didn't expect you to be so open-minded." Takahashi Iwa looked at Suning with joy.

"Uncle Takahashi, according to my plan, the foundation of my future career will be placed in China, so as a Korean, I will not discriminate against Japanese or Americans." Suning certainly knew what Takahashi Iwaichi meant, and deliberately gave him a reassurance.

However, his current identity also allows Takahashi Iwaichi to let down his guard. After all, as a Korean, his future career focus will be in China. This fully demonstrates Suning's overall view and vision.

After a busy and anxious day, Shen's mother suddenly felt like she had stepped into heaven. This was a life she had never enjoyed before and one she had never dared to imagine.

Shen's mother's joy was beyond words, and she especially needed to share it with her family. Then she remembered that she had promised her family to call to report her safety. Turning around, she saw the bedside telephone. Without thinking much, Shen's mother called her home in Seoul in surprise.

After Shen's mother shared the surprise with her family, she finally relaxed. Suddenly, she felt tired and sleepy. The next day, Su Ning returned to school and resumed her normal life. Takahashi Iwaichi also had his own job, researching talent and high-quality headhunting firms in Hong Kong.

"Chen Hengjun, you finally came back. I thought you would stay in Korea forever." Jin Minzhu looked at Su Ning in surprise.

"Minzhu, I just went back to Seoul to do some things."

"Chen Hengjun, I heard from my dad that you want to introduce someone to work in our store?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"Chen Hengjun, actually you asked the wrong person for help. You should call me for help." Jin Minzhu looked at Su Ning proudly.

"Oh? But your father has already agreed!" Su Ning looked at the little girl in front of him with amusement.

"Humph! My dad doesn't keep his word. I have to give my approval on this matter."

"Well, then tell me your conditions!"

"There's a new KFC opening next to our place in St. Paul. Why don't you treat me to a meal at KFC?"

"Okay! I'll treat you after school today."

After school, Suning took Jin Minzhu to the KFC next to the school. Only when Jin Minzhu was satisfied did he send this little hot pepper away.

When Su Ning returned home, he saw Director Li appear at home, and couldn't help but asked in surprise, "Director Li, why are you in Hong Kong?"

"Master Hengjun, this is Japanese chef Park Dongcheng. He is the chef sent by the president to cook for you." Director Li pointed to a man next to him and introduced him.

"Ah? Sent by grandpa?" Su Ning widened his eyes in shock.

"Yes! The president knows that you love food, so he specially arranged for Master Park to come."

"Director Li, please say thank you to my grandfather and me." Suning really didn't know what to say at this moment. He felt that his reputation as a "foodie" was confirmed.

"Okay! I'll definitely bring it."

Because Director Li was flying back to Seoul the next day, he stayed at Chen's house that night. When Aunt Shen brought the kimchi soup, Su Ning noticed that Director Li showed an interested expression. It seemed that he was also very curious about Aunt Shen's cooking skills.

But when Director Li couldn't wait to take a bite, he showed a confused expression and looked up at Su Ning, just in time to meet Su Ning's meaningful smile. Suddenly, he had other guesses in his mind.

"Aunt Shen, Aunt Lin, both of you please go down!"

"Yes!"

After the servants had left, Su Ning looked at Director Li with a smile, "Director Li, after I came to China, I heard a very interesting story. Would you like to listen to it?"

"Ah? Okay!" Director Li showed a surprised expression, not realizing that all the rhythm was controlled by Suning.

"It is said that during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Yongzheng was still in the midst of a fierce battle for the throne. Kangxi suddenly felt dissatisfied with his sons. To build momentum for himself, Yongzheng searched all over the world for famous liquors when his fourth son was born. Then a winery in Guangzhou brewed a world-class liquor called "Unparalleled in the World."

"When Emperor Yongzheng learned about this famous wine, he immediately decided to use it as tribute wine, specifically for the fourth son's centenary banquet.

It's just that there's a problem with the production process of this wine. The flavor of the wine can only last for one night before it evaporates completely, and it tastes like nothing at all.

The Guangzhou winery had no choice but to nervously present the "Unparalleled Under Heaven" wine. However, after Yongzheng tasted it, he immediately praised the wine as truly unparalleled under heaven, and then ordered the wine to be stored. As a result, with Yongzheng's subsequent ascension to the throne, this "Unparalleled Under Heaven" wine became famous.

But no one has ever tasted this wine, which is why it has always been the best wine in the world."

"Ah? There is such an exciting story?" At this time, Director Li had already understood everything. He looked at the young man in front of him in surprise, and suddenly realized that Su Ning and Chen Daojun were both very extraordinary.

"Yes! Everyone has their own goals. Whether or not they deserve the title is actually not that important."

"Master Hengjun, I'm grateful for your advice."

"Director Li, you've been with my grandfather for many years, right?"

"Yes! It's been almost twenty years, and I've watched Shunyang grow stronger step by step."

"No wonder! No wonder Director Li loves Shunyang so much, maybe even more than my uncle and the others."

"Haha, Master Hengjun is serious. Although I have some passion, I can't compare with the vice president and the others."

After a meaningful dinner, Director Li actually asked to see Su Ning's study with his own eyes. Su Ning knew that this must be a task assigned by Chen Yangzhe. He really couldn't understand what the old man was going to do.

There was nothing important in Suning's study. The only important thing was some stock market information, so he took Director Li directly to the study.

Director Li looked around the layout of the place and suddenly found something very interesting. He found that the calligraphy practiced by Su Ning was very powerful, which was very different from the "Survivor" painting in Chen Yangzhe's office. He knew at a glance that Su Ning was deliberately hiding his shortcomings.

"Master Hengjun, why is there so much stock market information here?" Director Li showed a surprised expression.

"My dad has recently become obsessed with the stock market. He read all of this and he also uses this study room on a regular basis." Suning gave a prepared explanation.

"Oh? So that's how it is!"

Director Li came to the desk and picked up the calligraphy written by Su Ning. When he saw the content on it, Director Li showed a surprised expression.

"A new emperor appoints new ministers; the present dynasty does not recognize the people of the previous dynasty." When Su Ning saw the calligraphy that Director Li was holding, he suddenly felt that it was too much of a coincidence. "Director Li, isn't my calligraphy pretty good?"

"Ah? Yes! It's really well written." Director Li's expression was obviously a little unnatural.

"Director Li, I heard you have a son who is currently attending college?"

"Yes! There is no future for a history major at Seoul National University." Director Li said very modestly.

"Director Li, you are too modest. Everyone knows that the best university in South Korea is Seoul National University. Your son's future is absolutely bright."

"Haha, thank you, Master Hengjun, for your kind words." Director Li said with a smile, feeling moved.

When Suning was watching "The Youngest Son of a Chaebol Family", the person he admired the most was Director Li. He felt that he was really steady and capable. Thinking about how after Chen Yongji succeeded to the throne, his confidant became Minister Jin, he realized that Director Li's ending was not good, so Suning had the idea of establishing a good relationship with Director Li because he was really a talent.
