Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled-Chapter 938 - 699: The Succession Issue of the Second Generation

When reaching middle age, people either indulge themselves or strictly discipline themselves.

Aside from that, it seems there’s not much else in terms of interest or hobbies.

Chang Fu undoubtedly embarked on the former extreme.

However, unlike Gao Hu, Chang Fu has become a capitalist tycoon, financially free and managing the group with no need to overly restrain his desires.

Thus, there are no risks involved.

The only concern is his wife, Yang Qian, who also does her own thing; they don’t divorce, primarily because it’s difficult to split assets with their son, Chang Dalin.

Otherwise, they each go their separate ways.

Don’t be fooled by Chang Fu’s current immensity, middle-aged and weighing 200 pounds, yet with money, he remains infinitely charming.

Goddesses that young people can’t pursue are merely women forcing a smile on him.

When he’s happy, he buys them cars and houses.

When he’s unhappy, he gives them to others and finds another.

This might be the perk of financial freedom; of course, there are also women who won’t bend for money.

There’s just very few, and Chang Fu won’t waste time on such women.

Chen Pingsheng didn’t bother with him, because their circle was full of such individuals.

Compared to beauties, power is more tempting to men.

Beauty resources, especially top-tier ones, can also be a stepping stone to financial peak.

As Chen Pingsheng knew.

There was a corporation that dedicated two floors to scouting top-tier women nationwide.

These women not only had to be beautiful, but also possess high EQ and talents.

Having just looks won’t cut it in their circle.

Most importantly, they need to win favor from the elite.

Chen Pingsheng himself wasn’t fond of these, but he encountered them often, growing accustomed to it.

After An’an reminded him again, she probably realized her issues.

University for her offered very limited learning opportunities.

Far less than the training at her own group, where the Anle Group not only held investment funds but also charitable ones.

And the Tengchao Commercial Management valued at over a hundred billion.

After Snacks Dash was moved under her name, Song Jun, An’an began studying the traditional enterprises her father initially founded.

She found something quite peculiar.

Those early-developed traditional enterprises, in the past three years, hadn’t even seen her parents’ faces.

Even though these enterprises maintained the series of benefits and policies laid down by her father.

It’s quite evident that the group’s status wasn’t as good as before.

Many senior executives were somewhat disappointed, with some even harboring a little despair.

In the past, following the big boss, they were full of spirit. freewёbnoνel.com

Not only did they open retail stores across the country, but also invested billions in snack factories.

Aiming to carve out a substantial market share in the industry.

Later, as the big boss shifted focus to tech and AI industries,

the status of these early-developed traditional industries became quite awkward.

Not only Snacks Dash faced this.

Even the once-dominant Tengying Entertainment in the showbiz was the same.

Even Bai Xin couldn’t always see her father, clearly, his attention was fully on the tech sector.

In response to these declining traditional enterprises, the big boss adopted the most direct solution: resource integration.

Industry mergers.

For instance, selling Tengying Entertainment’s controlling shares to Tengyou Media, and selling Bobo Milk Tea to Antler Coffee.

Fei Yangyang Catering was also sold to Tengyou Media.

The elders who co-founded the company with the big boss in the early days, have been entirely treated as stepchildren.

Practically abandoned, with no regard from either the father or mother.

These are companies valued at hundreds of billions traded on the market.

Some elders, brave enough to speak the truth, directly stated that the primary reason for the traditional sector’s overall decline or even lag isn’t anything else.

The main issue is the big boss’s shifted focus.

Market factors are secondary.

Even the big boss doesn’t care about these traditional enterprises anymore, thus the group veterans who have achieved financial freedom no longer strive like before.

Without the fighting spirit, the enterprise becomes like an old man, not only is there a lack of action, but a series of corporate ailments arise.

For example, collective problems aren’t problems.

Individual issues become major problems.

This atmosphere prevails throughout the enterprise; to avoid taking responsibility, any department will pass on major issues between each other.

Even dragging a bunch of people to share the responsibility.

What started as a minor issue, after layers of buck-passing and shared responsibility,

remains unsolved a month later.

The group’s severe lack of action is best reflected in two franchisee complaint incidents.

It was initially a minor issue, three Snacks Dash outlets opening within a 500-meter range.

Causing no one to make a profit.

This was clearly the group’s responsibility, had it been when the big boss was around,

the complaint would be directly resolved the same day with compensation.

Now, however, each department reports, then studies and discusses.

After analysis and summary from each department,

people were already irate enough to expose it online, even drawing numerous media reporters for coverage.
