Rekindle 2003

Chapter 902 Brother-in-law, isn’t this a matter of course?

'Do you want to go back to Huaxi Houpu or continue to stay with me?'
Qin Xiangyu was stunned when he heard this, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

Qing Yun spread his hands and said in a relaxed tone, "Brother-in-law, actually, your father and I agreed that your coming here will take three months, and it's almost time."

Qin Xiangyu scratched his hair and asked embarrassedly, "If I don't want to leave, will you chase me away?"

There was a hint of anticipation and uncertainty in his voice.

Qing Yun looked at him with a hint of smile in his eyes: "Of course not. But I think that you have been trained enough in your position in the General Affairs Department."

This cheap brother-in-law successfully completed the coordination work of the island evacuation, and his performance was also remarkable.

He felt that it would be a waste of time for Qin Xiangyu to stay in the General Affairs Department of Yanhuang Group any longer, and it would be better for him to return to West China Magnolia.

After all, the two companies have different structural systems. As the only heir to West China Hillhouse and even Hillhouse Holdings, Qin Xiangyu must adapt to his own system.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, be more confident."

Qin Xiangyu stood in the spacious and bright office. The sunlight shone through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows onto the exquisite carpet, forming spots of light.

He withdrew his gaze from the scenery outside the window and refocused on Qing Yun, as if waiting for an answer.

Qing Yun looked at Qin Xiangyu's tangled appearance and couldn't help but chuckle. He stood up, walked to the window, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and said in a relaxed tone: "Brother-in-law, you really don't have to be so tangled. Everyone can see your performance."

Qin Xiangyu sighed and spread his hands helplessly: "I know, but..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Qing Yun.

"But what?" Qing Yun turned around, his eyes sharp, "Are you worried that you are not good enough? Or are you worried about what others think?"

Qin Xiangyu was silent, and he was indeed struggling. He knew his own abilities, but he also knew that he was still some distance away from his parents' expectations.

Seeing that he remained silent, Qing Yun continued, “Brother-in-law, you have to understand that everyone’s path is different.

You don’t need to be the second Qin Tianming, you just need to be the first Qin Xiangyu.”

Qin Xiangyu raised his head, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, "I understand, but... I'm afraid I can't do it well."

Qing Yun walked up to him, patted his shoulder, and said encouragingly, "No one can do it perfectly at the beginning, except me."

Qin Xiangyu gave him a resentful look.

Well, this guy does have the ability to fart.

Don't be angry, don't be angry. The gap between people is bigger than that between people and dogs.

What's more, the person in front of him is not a human being, but a monster!
Qing Yun smiled and continued, "Your father and uncles started from scratch and built their careers step by step.

But you are standing directly on the shoulders of giants, you don’t have that experience.”

Qin Xiangyu sighed, with a hint of envy in his eyes, "Yes, sometimes I really envy them for being able to build all this from nothing."

Qing Yun patted his shoulder gently and said, "Brother-in-law, you don't need to envy anyone. You have your advantages. You are young and energetic, and you have the opportunity to learn different management concepts."

Qin Xiangyu was silent, he knew Qingyun was telling the truth.

But he still felt a little uneasy, "But I'm afraid I can't do it like them."

Qingyun shook her head and said patiently: "You don't need to be them, you just need to be yourself.

Managing a business is not just a technical issue, it is more about understanding and using people.

You have proven yourself in the Yanhuang Group.

I can tell you clearly that your father is very satisfied! I can tell you quietly that when Third Uncle called me, he was so excited that he choked up. "

Qin Xiangyu was stunned.

his dad?

Choking?

Qin Xiangyu stood there in a daze, his mind full of the figure called 'father'.

How could his father, who was always serious, unsmiling and even prone to scolding him, be so excited that he choked up because of his own achievements?

In his memory, his father always held him to strict standards and rarely expressed his affirmation and affection for him directly.

At this moment, knowing that his father recognized him, Qin Xiangyu felt an unprecedented surge of confidence and strength in his heart.

Qingyun patted his shoulder again.

“Next, what you need to do is to prove that you can do well in Huaxi Houpu.

Of course, you can also go a few years later, it doesn’t matter.

But the point is, Xiangyu, believe in yourself."

Qin Xiangyu took a deep breath, he knew Qingyun was right.

What he needs is not only the affirmation of others, but also his own recognition.

"Okay, I'll think about it seriously." Qin Xiangyu finally made up his mind, "If I decide to stay, will you support me?"

Qing Yun nodded and said without hesitation: "Of course. You are my brother-in-law. If I don't support you, who should I support?!"

His eyes were quietly examining Qin Xiangyu.

He knew that his brother-in-law was not a natural leader, nor was he cut out to be a powerful ruler.

In Qing Yun's opinion, the four Qin brothers had too high expectations of Qin Xiangyu. They tried to make him quickly capable of taking over the family business. They were too ambitious in their training of him and lacked a comprehensive understanding of the situation at the grassroots level.

This kind of understanding cannot be developed by training at the grassroots level for a year or two under an assumed name.

Because Qin Xiangyu is the future helmsman of Hillhouse Holdings, what he has to do is to give orders, manage direction, coordinate, arbitrate, and so on.

He doesn't need to be a business expert, that's a job for a working man.

Therefore, the direction taken by the four brothers of the Qin family was wrong from the beginning.

Qin Xiangyu is completely different from them.

It can be said that the four brothers of the Qin family understand technology, marketing, sales, etc. better than a considerable number of people in the company.

Because this is something they once did with their own hands.

However, in the process of the company growing from nothing to something, and then to big and strong, the four brothers exercised their abilities in line with the scale of the company and formed their own management philosophy.

The two complement each other. If they lack management capabilities, the company will not be able to grow so big.

This is a route of fighting monsters and upgrading, and they are also growing the company through continuous trial and error.

But the rich second generation like Qin Xiangyu is completely different. As soon as he gets started, he finds it difficult to manage a world-class group company.

This is also a problem faced by all rich second-generations, but Qin Xiangyu's is particularly prominent.

Because Hillhouse Holdings is too big.

It was difficult for the four gifted brothers who formed the Houpu Holdings through division of labor and cooperation to hand it over to Qin Xiangyu, who was less qualified than them.

In this situation, to be honest, unless one is extremely talented, it is difficult to be on par with one's parents.

Then, the parents felt that this unlucky child was inferior to themselves in every way and was just like a pig.

From infinite expectations to infinite depreciation.

The old ministers who had accompanied their fathers in starting the business naturally disliked the young master in various ways, thinking that there were problems with the young master in every way, and then offered all kinds of unpleasant advice.

Maybe it's well-intentioned, but it's definitely a bad thing.

After all, most people have no political wisdom. The "all for your own good" in their minds is actually a blow to the young master's self-confidence again and again.

Many second-generation rich people are beaten so hard that they lose all self-confidence and are ruined.

Management mechanisms are not one-size-fits-all.

The mechanism established by the founder is tailor-made for him.

During decades of operation, everything about every link in this mechanism is in his mind, and he doesn't even need to think about each process.

Because this is his system.

In this system, the second generation will never be able to win, because they don't understand the operating logic of this system at all.

In Qingyun's opinion, when Qin Xiangyu goes to the grassroots level, what he needs to understand is the operating logic, interest demands, and the collaboration mechanisms and conflicts between departments.

It’s not about understanding the craft, nor about becoming a technical expert.

The powerful General Department of Yanhuang Group is suitable for Qingyun because the head of this department is his woman.

He uses one department as a starting point to connect all departments.

Qin Xiangyu stayed here for three months and witnessed the rapid growth of Yanhuang Group.

This is completely different from being in a very mature company.

In mature companies, all processes are solidified after years of trial and error to eliminate incorrect options.

For companies in their growth stage, new problems emerge every day.

It’s hard to say whether it’s good or not, but the development of personal abilities is definitely far beyond that of mature companies.

This has basically made up for Qin Xiangyu's conceptual shortcomings in company operations.

Just having the concept is enough.

After all, Yanhuang Group and West China Hillhouse and even Hillhouse Holdings are on two completely different tracks. If Qin Xiangyu continues to stay in the General Affairs Department, he will not gain any higher benefits except that he will become more tactful and proficient in handling things.

In a sense, Qing Yun felt that it was time for this cheap brother-in-law to leave the Novice Village.

However, how to continue training is something that Qin Xiangyu's father Qin Tianming should consider, so he will not interfere.

Qin Xiangyu also understood this truth and said, "Since you won't drive me away, I choose to stay."

Emperor Yun looked at his brother-in-law opposite him with a constipated look on his face, who was showing a lazy smile, and rolled his eyes helplessly.

Qin Xiangyu laughed and said, "To be honest, brother-in-law, I can stay in Yanhuang Group for another three to five years.

In Huaxi Houpu… Although that is my responsibility, but here…”

He shrugged his shoulders and smiled bitterly, "Brother-in-law, with my father's health, it won't be a problem for him to work for another ten years."

He spread his hands and said quietly, "He is only 53 years old."

Qing Yun could only smile bitterly upon hearing this.

After a while, Qin Xiangyu shook his head and said, "I just understand now. Even if my father is 63 years old, he will still be able to help me get on the horse and send me off.

I don't want to kill those uncles who followed him to conquer the world...

Well, I admit that I can’t get rid of them, and I can’t subdue them. I might as well wait until they are old. Anyway, I am still young…”

At this point, Qin Xiangyu sighed, “It also has to be young.”

Qing Yun helplessly threw a cigarette over and said, "I'm glad you understand."

Qin Xiangyu lit a cigarette and rolled his eyes at him, "So you still want to persuade me to go back?"

Emperor Yun looked at him with amusement and said, "If you go back, it's not like you have only one option left: to become the general manager of the group company again.

I want to discuss with your father and let you be solely responsible for a new section."

Qin Xiangyu was stunned for a moment, then sat up straight, "Speak carefully!"

Qing Yun thought for a moment, and then said, "You will understand when I finish. If you continue to stay in Yanhuang Group, I will change your position.

You need a platform that allows you to play to your strengths.”

"What position?"

"Deputy Factory Director." Qing Yun pointed to the folder next to Qin Xiangyu, "I'm going to find a master for you."

"Who?"

"Zhang Rujing."

Qin Xiangyu looked at his brother-in-law in front of him with confused eyes, "You want me to work in semiconductors?"

Qin Xiangyu felt as if a flock of crows were flying over his head, making a cawing sound. He smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Brother-in-law, please forgive me. Semiconductors? I can't make that stuff.

Physics and chemistry were my worst subjects when I was a student, and even if I am more sensible now, I still can’t learn them.”

Qing Yun shook his head and explained seriously, "Brother-in-law, you misunderstood.

I am not asking you to learn semiconductor R&D, but to learn how to build a semiconductor electronics factory from President Zhang."

Qin Xiangyu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and was a little confused, "What's the point of learning this?

Our main strength at Huaxi Houpu is in civil and agricultural buildings.

The old man wants to go into industrial construction, but in this area we cannot compete with state-owned construction companies such as Huatie and Huajian.

The state will not allow private capital like us to enter many large-scale projects.”

Qing Yun smiled and patiently explained, "An electronics factory, especially a high-end semiconductor electronics factory, is a technical job and a systematic project.

Civil engineering is only a small part, and it is not the same as installing equipment after the factory building is completed. Instead, the layout of the factory building is adjusted according to the equipment. Civil engineering plays a subordinate role in the factory construction process.

Because, for electronic factory buildings, there are various high standards and high requirements. I can’t explain them to you in detail now. You can understand that civil engineering is just a miscellaneous job in semiconductor factory construction.

So, if you master this factory building skill, Huaxi Houpu will reach a new level.”

Qin Xiangyu was a little confused, frowned and asked: "What steps? Isn't what we can do civil engineering?"

Qing Yun shook his head and explained in detail, "Listen to me, your industry was originally called civil engineering, and later it was called civil engineering.

This is not just a matter of setting up university majors, but a difference in content.

In terms of professional settings, civil engineering is usually a junior college major, which belongs to secondary vocational education. It is mainly aimed at construction companies to train capable "construction workers".

Civil engineering is an undergraduate major, part of higher education, and trains future architects, engineers, project managers, etc., who are responsible for planning, designing, and managing large-scale construction projects.”

Qing Yun paused and continued, "In other words, civil engineering is construction, and civil engineering involves planning, design, and management.

In the earliest days, there were no construction companies, just construction teams, so they were called civil engineering.

Later, as the scale expanded, the construction team became bigger and stronger, and after it had its own design and management, it became a construction company, and then civil engineering came into being.

The next level you can take to is… a total solutions provider.”
