Chapter 665: Mother Zhou Had Something to Ask For
âThen⊠it doesnât matter. As long as you donât make me repay the bank loanâŠâ Yang Dashan was helpless. He had lost all his family property, and he still owed a bank loan. Now, as long as the bank didnât ask him for money, he would feel grateful. How could he still care about other things?
âUncle, actually⊠how do I phrase it?â Yang Ming hesitated and said, âYou really are not suitable for running a business!â
âAh?â Yang Dashan was astounded, but there was nothing he could say. After all, he really lost all his money.
âUncle, you were able to make money through sand mining in the beginning. It was entirely because of the situation at the time. Most of the people who went overseas to do business in the 1990s were earning. As long as they had the effort, they could make money!â Yang Ming said, âBut now the situation is different. Earning money depends on a flexible approach and mind, especially businesses like Entertainment City. Having a good social relations.h.i.+p doesnât mean that you can operate the business well. You must also have reasonable management skills!â
âYang Ming, when you said this to me, I didnât believe it⊠but now, I have to admit that uncle was really hot-headed!â Yang Dashan said with a little embarra.s.sment, âYou really said it right. Since sand mining was doing well, why did I step into this unfamiliar industry? The money at home was enough, why was I so greedy?â
âUncle, since you can now understand this reason, it isnât too late.â Yang Ming waved his hand and said, âJust think of it as paying for a lesson! Donât worry about this matter. These two days, I will look for people to take over the Entertainment City. As for your sand mining, I will find some ways for you. I will try to set it up again for you. You can run it safely in the future!â
âAh? Really?â Yang Dashan was so amazed that he smiled happily, âThatâs good! Yang Ming, you wonât lie to your uncle, right?â
âI wonât lie to you, but I can only say that I will try to mediate for you!â Yang Ming smiled and said, âI canât guarantee that I will succeed!â
âOkay, okay, then I will wait for the good news!â Yang Dashan felt that his nephew, Yang Ming, was more reliable than his younger brother, Yang Dahai. He was feeling happy in his heart. I think I didnât come for nothing this time!
Since the necessary words were spoken, Yang Dashan wouldnât stay for a long time. He refused to stay for dinner and left Yang Mingâs house.
âBig Ming, are you going to help your uncle?â Yang Dahai quickly asked after Yang Dashan left.
âWhat would happen if I didnât help? We canât just look at him being in a difficult situation, right?â Yang Ming was also somewhat helpless. He spread up his hands and said, âThis is the hardest thing to say to relatives!â
âAi!â Yang Dahai also sighed, âIf the money is yours, I donât have a say. I would just promise your uncle that you would help him!â
âHehe, Dad, you have matured a lot during this time!â Yang Ming laughed after hearing it, then said, âIf it was in the past, you may have agreed already. You wouldnât have considered it this much!â
âYou little b.a.s.t.a.r.d! What do you mean?â Yang Dahai glared. âWhat did you mean by I have matured a lot? Iâm already your Dad. Isnât that mature enough already?â
âI mean in the aspect of business and dealing with interpersonal relations.h.i.+ps.â Yang Ming also knew that his words were somewhat vague and quickly explained.
âYou kid! What are you talking about?â Yang Dahai gave Yang Ming a slap on his head. Then he put away the joking tone and said to Yang Ming, âThe group company will be listed in these few days. We are the overall acquisition. So the site is still in the old place, but the personnel and organization have changed.â
âEn, you just have to discuss with Hou Zhenhan and Uncle Feng for this matter. You donât have to ask me for instructions.â Yang Ming nodded and said.
âWho is asking you for instructions? What are you saying?â Yang Dahai rolled his eyes and said, âDad is discussing with you!â
âAlright⊠discuss, then you talkâŠâ Yang Ming didnât expect his father would bother about this, so he had to say so.
âThere is also an important matter. This is the case.â Yang Dahai said slowly, âThere is a famous celebrity called Shu Ya, who wants to hold a concert in Song Jiang. Ming Yang Entertainment Group is the best in our cityâs entertainment industry. The cityâs Cultural Bureau means to ask if Ming Yang Entertainment has the idea of hosting the concert. After all, in Song Jiang, there arenât many industries with such capability. Only Ming Yang can host the stageâŠâ
âHah, Dad, you even know what hosting is?â Yang Ming couldnât help but smile.
âAm I not still learning from Old Feng?â Yang Dahai smiled and shook his head. âI have been running around with Old Feng lately. I even met people with different kinds of occupations. I get familiar with the things in society even if I donât want to! The position of chairman is really a position to train someone!â
âIn short, as long as you are happy.â Yang Ming was pleased with his fatherâs pa.s.sionate expression. âYes, this should be Big Houâs responsibility. What does it have to do with you?â
âThis is indeed President Houâs responsibility, but he said that we, Song Jiang Ming Yang Heavy Industry Group, just listed. Our name isnât even famous yet. It is better to use this concert to build up our name, so he recommended that the concert be held by our Heavy Industry Group.â Yang Dahai explained.
âOh? Itâs like this!â Yang Ming thought for a moment and said, âThis is a good thing. Big Hou is right. Shu Ya is one of the best among the famous celebrities in China. A concert in Song Jiang will definitely be broadcast by many TV stations. As long as the groupâs advertis.e.m.e.nts are inserted in between the show, then the reputation of our group is also considered to be improved.â
âThatâs great! Since you think so, then I will discuss it with Old Feng!â said Yang Dahai.
âRight, how about w.a.n.g Jinde?â Yang Ming suddenly remembered w.a.n.g Jinde. Yang Ming previously told w.a.n.g Jinde to come to the temple fair to pick him up. As a result of Chen Mengyanâs sudden incident, Yang Ming left the temple fair before he met w.a.n.g Jinde. He had never seen this kid. Yang Ming didnât know how he was doing recently.
âHe is good. He is talented in personnel.â Yang Dahai said with appreciation, âWhen the group was reorganized, he suggested many of the personnel departmentâs changes. He is not only streamlining the original personnel organization but also setting up many useful new departments.â
âIt seems that this kid is okay!â Yang Ming was relieved.
âRight, that foreigner⊠who is Mr. Old Buffon, who helped us, has been looking for you several times. I told him that you went overseas. He asked me to tell you that he looked for you when you came back.â Yang Dahai suddenly remembered something.
âOh, I got it. I will contact him.â Yang Ming naturally knew why old Buffon was looking for him.
After simply having lunch at home, Yang Ming went out again. During the Chinese New Year, Yang Ming was busy. Just as Yang Ming was free, Yang Ming decided to go to the hospital to visit Zhou Jiajia.
Just now he called Hou Zhenhan and asked about Zhou Jiajiaâs condition. The answer was still not very optimistic. Zhou Jiajia didnât show any sign of waking up. In the hospital, several attending doctors had been in contact with Hou Zhenhan, so every move of Zhou Jiajia was under Yang Mingâs control.
Although these days, Yang Ming didnât visit her personally, he called to inquire about Zhou Jiajiaâs injury frequently.
Hou Zhenhanâs BMW X5 was now Yang Mingâs car; Hou Zhenhan bought an Audi A8 as a business car for himself. Then he provided a Rolls Royce and a stretch Hummer for Tavern Heaven on Earth and the Nightless Club as VIP cars.
Pus.h.i.+ng the door of the ward, Yang Ming saw Zhou Jiajiaâs mother sitting on Zhou Jiajiaâs bed. She was holding Zhou Jiajiaâs hand while saying something. The originally cheerful and elegant woman became thin and pale. Yang Ming was feeling sorry in his heart.
âAunty Hua.â Yang Ming whispered softly.
Mother Zhou looked up and looked at Yang Ming, and then she nodded faintly. Her eyes showed a glimpse of bitterness. âYou came?â
âEn, Aunty Hua, is Jiajia getting better?â Although he had been paying attention to Zhou Jiajiaâs situation, he had to ask out of politeness.
âShe is out of danger now. As for when can she wake up, it is still uncertain yetâŠâ Mother Zhou sighed and said to Yang Ming, âYang Ming, can aunty ask for something from you?â
âAh? Whatâs the matter?â Yang Ming was stunned. Previously when he saw Mother Zhou, wasnât she looking down on him and criticizing him? But this time, she didnât have the att.i.tude like before; her tone became very sincere. This time, Yang Ming was overwhelmed instead.
âAunty wanted to ask you. When you have time, can you often come to accompany Jiajia for a while?â Mother Zhou looked at Yang Ming sincerely. âJust speak to her!â
The reason Mother Zhou being so polite to Yang Ming was that she understood the matters of her daughter during this period. Mother Zhou couldnât believe that her daughter was such an infatuated girl! However, all of this was related personally by her daughterâs good friend, w.a.n.g Xue, so she had to believe it!
