Training the Heavens

Chapter 233 Leave an impression
Mr. Rong was very envious. Young people as outstanding as Xu Lingjun were rare in their family circle. He didn't expect that Xu Jingyou was so lucky to pick one up for free.

"Should we transfer Lingjun to the capital?" He felt somewhat dissatisfied, but he did not dare to show any sign on his face.

"No need. I can tell from what I've heard just now that Lingjun is very satisfied with his current job. This ranch is indeed suitable for him to develop his talents. We don't need to go against his ideas. We just need to provide him with some help, such as giving him greater autonomy." Mr. Rong said.

This was only the surface reason. He didn't share his deeper thoughts, because even if he did, they wouldn't necessarily understand. The current policy was indeed open, and he had gained the trust of his superiors, and he had begun to connect with overseas connections and do some things, but who knew if this situation could be maintained indefinitely? Therefore, letting Xu Lingjun try a new path according to his ideas might not be a bad thing.

Through this meeting tonight, Xu Lingjun left a deep impression on Mr. Rong. Through Mr. Rong, his affairs can be made known to higher-ups, and his position in the ranch will be more stable.

The next day, Xu Jingyou took Xu Lingjun and his family to the hotel and asked Song Jiaoying to accompany Li Xiuzhi and the two children to play around. He and Xu Lingjun stayed alone in the room, reviewing their meeting last night.

Mr. Rong's evaluation of Xu Jingyou is very correct. Even though he is so old, he has not made much progress. However, this is said in comparison with Mr. Rong. After all, he has been in the business world for so many years and still has basic vision and judgment.

Xu Jingyou came back last night and lay in bed, recalling this meeting. He clearly felt that Mr. Rong was more interested in Xu Lingjun than himself. This was actually normal. His millions of dollars worth might seem amazing to others, but in the eyes of Mr. Rong, it was nothing special.

Mr. Rong was a well-known industrial tycoon in Shanghai back then. After liberation, many of his relatives went abroad. Many of them were doing better than him, and much better. Their assets were much more than Xu Jingyou's.

They are where they are today thanks to the wealth they brought back from the mainland. With this start-up capital, personal ability and some luck, they were able to build their careers.

Xu Lingjun is quite different. His current achievements are all the result of his own efforts from scratch. In just a few years, he was able to control a large ranch with thousands of people from scratch, and also created many promising industries. Such young people are indeed rare among the next generation of their family.

It is only right that Mr. Rong values ​​him. After realizing this, Xu Jingyou has higher and higher expectations for Xu Lingjun, and is more determined to let Xu Lingjun inherit the family business.

"Mr. Rong welcomed me back to invest yesterday. After thinking about it carefully, I was indeed tempted." Xu Jingyou said. He looked down on Mr. Rong's academic qualifications, but he could not deny his ability. Back then in Shanghai, he was the leader of his generation, and now he has gone a step further and can influence the country's major policies.

Mr. Rong had already invited him, so Xu Jingyou had to seriously consider it. He also felt that this was a good opportunity to persuade Xu Lingjun. "It's just that I don't know much about the situation in China, so Lingjun, you should come and help me!"

"If you don't want to go to the US, you can stay in mainland China and be in charge of our Xu family's investments there. We'll pursue promising projects, and you won't have to be tied down. I can give you full responsibility for these projects." Xu Lingjun shook his head again. "Come back and invest now, and you'll be very welcome everywhere. And you have a relationship with Mr. Rong. Even if it's a huge sum of money, Mr. Rong won't let you lose money! So these things are easy, and I don't need to do anything."

"Besides, I don't want to waste my energy on those bullshit!" Xu Lingjun bluntly said, "You also said that you have several children in the United States. I believe you know better than me how fierce the competition for family property is among wealthy families. If I take over the domestic project, these troubles will come knocking on my door. The thought of fighting with these people is boring."

"With this time and energy, I might as well make the ranch better! Now that the ranch has Mr. Rong's approval, it will be much easier to do whatever I want in the future. In just a few years, the ranch's output value will exceed that of your chemical plant, so why should I waste my time going to your place?"

Xu Jingyou felt extremely frustrated. The assets he was proud of were completely ignored by Xu Lingjun. But the more Xu Lingjun was like this, the more he wanted to hand over his property to Xu Lingjun.

Xu Lingjun's ability has been proven. He is much better than his children in the United States. If the family property is handed over to Xu Lingjun, he will definitely be better than him. But if it is handed over to other children, the family property may be squandered before he even closes his eyes.

Xu Jingyou was silent for a moment, then finally made up his mind. "When I return to the United States this time, I'll have my lawyer redraft a document. From now on, they can only receive a small dividend from the family fund every year. They have no right to interfere with the company's operations, and they won't have any shares. I'll hand the entire company over to you, and I guarantee they won't influence your decisions. If anyone is dissatisfied, I'll publish an advertisement in the newspaper to sever our father-son relationship and deprive them of their dividend rights. I think you'll agree to this, right?"

Xu Lingjun still shook his head. "What you're talking about isn't something that can be resolved overnight. They'll make trouble with you and hire lawyers to sue you. If you want to handle it properly, it'll probably take several years."

"Besides, you are in good health and not too old. It is better for you to be responsible for the investment matters when returning to China. I can help and provide some suggestions." At the end, Xu Lingjun let out a little hint.

Xu Jingyou was born in 15. He married Shen Shuzhen right after graduation and had Xu Lingjun. He is only in his sixties and not yet seventy years old. He can still be the helmsman of the family business for a few years.

After a few years, when his energy declines and domestic investments should bear fruit, he won't have to work too hard. He just needs to grasp the general direction, maintain relationships with the upper echelons, and let the people below take care of the specific matters.

"Oh? If I can handle these things, will you be willing to take over my property?" Xu Jingyou asked hurriedly.

"I plan to settle down on the ranch for the rest of my life! When Qingqing grows up, if he is interested, I won't stop him. Believe in your body, you will definitely be able to wait for that day." Xu Lingjun expressed his thoughts and praised Xu Jingyou by the way.
