Lan Tiancheng stared at Zhou Nan and Lan Ruo quietly, his eyes slightly complicated.
No matter from any aspect, Lan Ruo is the best candidate to inherit Lan's enterprise. She is not only the direct granddaughter of the Lan family, but also a genius in business operations. Lan Tiancheng can definitely rest assured that Lan's enterprise is in Lan Ruo's hands.
But Lan Ruo is, after all, his granddaughter who is about to get married, and Lan Tiancheng is really worried. Driven by Zhou Nan, a genius business genius, whether the Lan enterprise controlled by Lan Ruo will be completely absorbed by Feiteng, leaving him
Decades of hard work were in vain.
Although Lan Tiancheng initially agreed to let Lan's Enterprise and Feiteng Group integrate their assets, and Lan Ruolai would control the unification, this integration was not a true annexation. In his heart, he still expected Lan's Enterprise to be able to serve as
An independent capital continues to operate.
In other words, Lan Tiancheng can trust his granddaughter, but he can't trust Zhou Nan.
Zhou Nan is really an amazing person in the business field. If he is given the opportunity and time, Lan Tiancheng believes that even if he obstructs and resists in every possible way, he will not be able to stop Zhou Nan from "digesting" the entire Lan Enterprise.
And once he dies on a crane, Lan Jingzhong and Lan Xingyue, two brothers and sisters, will not be Zhou Nan's opponents if they are tied together.
"But the Lan family is always the Lan family, and the Zhou family is always the Zhou family..." Lan Tiancheng sighed softly, "I hope you two can understand what I mean, and respect the wishes of an old man like me... Give Lan
Leave a way home!"
Lan Ruo understood what her grandfather meant, and she had mixed feelings in her heart. She didn't know what it was like, and she was speechless for a moment.
Zhou Nan fell silent. He understood in his heart that although he really had no intention of annexing Lan's enterprise and continued to prove his innocence, it was obvious that this did not completely dispel some suspicions among the Lan family.
In fact, it is no wonder that the Lan family is suspicious. If it were anyone else, if Zhou Nan was not a time traveler who truly sees through the world and fame and wealth, he might be tempted by Lan Jianuo's huge family fortune. At the very least, when he has the opportunity to take possession of it,
He would not refuse this huge portion of wealth. But the current situation is that as long as he lets nature take its course, Lan's Enterprise will be able to get it at his fingertips.
In fact, even if Zhou Nan has no involvement in Lan's Enterprise, it does not mean that he and Lan Ruo's descendants are not interested in Lan's Enterprise. It can be said that as long as Lan Ruo truly controls the management of Lan's Enterprise, Lan's Enterprise will "change its name"
” and “change of dynasty” is an inevitable result, it’s just a matter of time.
Zhou Nan sighed secretly in his heart and said softly, "Grandpa, verbal promises may not have much binding force. But even so, I still want to say a few words in front of Lan Ruo and you."
"From the beginning, to now, and even in the future, I will not covet the Lan family's industry. Lan's Enterprise will always be Lan's Enterprise... But from the bottom of my heart, I really hope that Lan's Enterprise can cooperate with Feiteng Group
The powerful alliance, under the unified management of Xiao Ruo, complements each other's advantages and creates a super economical aircraft carrier that is rare in the past and present!"
"What is the pure Chinese-speaking market? We should base ourselves on the mainland and Hong Kong markets, radiate to Southeast Asia and the entire Asia, gradually go global, and develop the two companies into a multinational consortium that is second to none in the world!"
"This is my expectation, or an ideal... As for money, it's just a number to me. One million or one hundred million doesn't make much difference to me." Zhou Nan's voice was a little detached.
With emotion, whether Lan Tiancheng believes it or not, these are his words of conscience.
A strange light flashed in Lan Tiancheng's eyes. Zhou Nan's ambition, or ambition, surprised him.
"Grandpa, in fact, whether Lan's Enterprise or Feiteng Group has developed to this stage, it is no longer simply a private property belonging to any one person, but an industry belonging to the entire society. The operation of the enterprise is related to the economy of a party.
Every investment by an enterprise can create jobs, promote economic development, pay a large amount of taxes, and solve the problem of food and survival for many people."
Zhou Nan smiled slightly, turned around and glanced at Lan Ruo. Seeing Lan Ruo's complicated expression, he quietly squeezed her smooth little hand.
"Grandpa, no matter how much wealth we have, it is a golden mountain, but it is not more important to me than Xiao Ruo... In this life, marrying Xiao Ruo is my biggest wish. As long as Xiao Ruo is happy, she can do whatever she likes.
, I will not interfere with her decision." Zhou Nan tightened Lan Ruo's little hand again, and a strange tenderness appeared on his face.
Lan Ruo felt the unparalleled love in Zhou Nan's heart, and was very happy and moved. In this world, perhaps she is the only one who can truly understand what kind of a true man Zhou Nan is, who values friendship over interests, and who is upright and upright.
The blush rolled on Lan Ruo's beautiful face. Her eyes were as clear and gentle as water. She turned to stare at her man. The two of them held hands tightly and looked at each other lovingly. They completely forgot that there was a Lan family in front of them.
The head of the family, Lan Tiancheng.
To be honest, although he didn't fully believe Zhou Nan's words, Lan Tiancheng could feel that Zhou Nan's true love for Lan Ruo was as deep as the sea... Anyway, Lan Tiancheng was very pleased.
But just like this, Lan Tiancheng feels uneasy. Based on the relationship between Lan Ruo and Zhou Nan, Lan Ruo will probably listen to whatever Zhou Nan says now, and there is no "resistance". With Zhou Nan's methods and skills,
, it becomes easier to "eat" Lan's Enterprise.
Perhaps inadvertently, Zhou Nan had completed the annexation of Lan's enterprise.
Ahem!
In the midst of the tenderness between the two, they suddenly heard Lan Tiancheng cough twice. Lan Ruo blushed and quickly let go of Zhou Nan's hand. She turned around and glanced at her grandfather with a blushing face before lowering her head.
Lan Tiancheng hesitated for a while, but decided to take the initiative to put forward his own conditions. Lan's enterprise can be controlled by Lan Ruo, but he has conditions.
This was also expected by Zhou Nan. How could it be possible for Lan Tiancheng to hand over Lan's enterprise so easily to Lan Ruo, who was already the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family?
"Zhou Nan, I basically agree to let Xiao Ruolai manage Lanshi Enterprise and Feiteng Group, but I have two conditions. If you can agree to these two conditions, I can give you a share of the equity I hold.
To Xiao Ruo, support Xiao Ruo in becoming the chairman of Lan's Enterprise. Moreover, I will leave a will that after a hundred years, all the remaining equity in my name will be transferred to Xiao Ruo."
Lan Tiancheng's eyes were stern and his voice was calm.
Lan Ruoliu raised her eyebrows, while Zhou Nan smiled and waited for Lan Tiancheng's next words.
"First, although Xiaoruo manages the two companies uniformly, Lan's Enterprise is Lan's Enterprise and Feiteng Group is Feiteng Group. The two companies can advance and retreat together on many projects, adopt common strategic development, and even realize certain industries.
Resource replacement and integration, but overall, I don’t want Lan’s Enterprise to annex Feiteng Group, or Feiteng Group to eat Lan’s Enterprise.”
"A strong alliance does not necessarily mean that we will become one pot of rice. Can you agree to my request?"
After Lan Tiancheng finished speaking, he turned to look at Zhou Nan with bright eyes.
Lan Ruo remained silent. She knew in her heart that her grandfather was asking Zhou Nan. In fact, he was asking Zhou Nan to make a firm promise, and maybe even form a legally binding written text.
Lan Ruo knew her grandfather too well. He was bold, careful, and shrewd throughout his life, and he had never made a loss-making business. Otherwise, Lan Ruo's business would not be as prosperous as it is today.
Zhou Nan smiled bitterly in his heart and thought, haven't you already said this before? Why are you repeating it again? It seems that you want me to give something in writing...
Although he knew that he did not have the full trust of the other party, Zhou Nan was not unhappy. After all, anyone would be very cautious when dealing with such a matter. After all, it involves the inheritance of Lan's enterprise and the future of the Lan's family.
"Grandpa, I completely agree with your opinion. In fact, I have discussed it with Xiaoruo before. In order to ensure the independence of the two companies while being coordinated, the next step is to jointly fund and establish a joint venture between the two companies.
With the new investment company, all external investments of the two companies from now on will be completed by this company."
After Zhou Nan finished speaking, he glanced at Lan Ruo.
Lan Ruo quickly took over the conversation and smiled, "Grandpa, yes, this is exactly what we discussed. This can be reflected in writing in the articles of association of the new company."
Lan Tian took a sigh of relief and nodded. He had also considered this. Since his granddaughter and grandson-in-law also agreed, he was not going to delay any more and directly stated his second condition.
However, as soon as his condition came out, not only Zhou Nan did not expect it, but Lan Ruo was also shocked.
"My second condition is actually not complicated. What I mean is that among the children you two will have in the future, let a boy be adopted to the Lan family, and give him the surname Lan, so that he can inherit the Lan family enterprise... Of course,
This is just my personal idea and I haven’t discussed it with Mr. and Mrs. Jingzhong, what do you think?”
Zhou Nan was startled, and Lan Ruo was also taken aback. Looking at Lan Tiancheng's slightly red face, he couldn't say a word.
It is definitely not easy for the Zhou family to accept the adoption of one's own flesh and blood. Although the name is just a symbol, even if Lan Ruo and Zhou Nan's children change their surname to Lan, they are still their children, but...
What if the two of them only gave birth to a boy, and the Lan family asked for this boy, how could Zhou Nan feel embarrassed? Zhou Nan's parents would definitely not agree...
Lan Ruo slowly turned her head and glanced at Zhou Nan, carefully observing the changes in Zhou Nan's expression. She was afraid that her grandfather's almost harsh conditions would arouse Zhou Nan's strong resentment.
Zhou Nan's face was very shocked. He really didn't expect that Lan Tiancheng would put forward such a weird condition.
Let his son be adopted by the Lan family? Inherit the Lan family's property? Even if he changes his surname to Lan, he will no longer be my son? Zhou Nan thought in his mind and couldn't help but feel that it was ridiculous - Mr. Lan, you don't have to worry about losing your family property.
In the hands of outsiders?
Besides, doesn't Lan Jingzhong have an illegitimate son outside now? Instead of letting his son be adopted by the Lan family, it is better to put some effort into cultivating this illegitimate son...
Zhou Nan smiled bitterly, "Grandpa, isn't that child whose father is outside..."
Lan Tiancheng waved his hands very unhappy and irritably, "The origin of that child is unknown. Maybe Jingzhong was deceived by that woman..."
Zhou Nan groaned, thinking that it seemed that Lan Jingzhong was really played by that woman Qi Meiyun this time. This so-called illegitimate son is probably not his flesh and blood, and the biological father is someone else. Since Lan Tiancheng is willing to say this, it is obviously his father.
He has some conclusive evidence, otherwise he would not express this attitude.
With the huge power of Lan's Enterprise and Lan Tiancheng in Hong Kong, it would be a piece of cake for him to investigate a woman. In fact, Lan Jingzhong suddenly had an illegitimate child outside. As the head of the Lan family, he had no idea about such a thing.
How can you not care?
Despite his indifference, he had actually secretly sent someone to conduct an investigation. Although the results of the paternity test between Lan Jingzhong and the child have not yet come out, based on the current information Lan Tiancheng has, this matter is basically a
"Fooling", maybe there is a gang background behind it.
In other words, Qi Meiyun may be a "pigeon" controlled by the Hong Kong underworld. The purpose is self-evident.
But the Lan family is not so easy to deal with. The Lan family has been entrenched in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia for decades. It has a profound foundation and can handle both black and white.
However, since Lan Tiancheng didn't want to talk more about this matter, Zhou Nan stopped asking further.
"How about it, Zhou Nan, this is grandpa's condition and request. It is the request of the entire Lan family to you. Of course, if you are in trouble, just pretend that grandpa never said it..." Zhou Nan seemed to be avoiding him.
"Conditions", Lan Tiancheng followed closely.
Letting one of Zhou Nan and Lan Ruo's children be adopted into the Lan family was an idea that Lan Tiancheng had had a long time ago. But now he took this opportunity to express it, and at the same time, it was also to test Zhou Nan's reaction.
Zhou Nan gave a wry smile and replied softly, "Grandpa, uh, I can't give you an answer for this matter yet. After all, it's not my personal opinion... Otherwise, I'll discuss it with my parents when I get back.
, can you please give Grandpa a reply as soon as possible?"
"Besides, this matter seems to be out of our hands... If Xiao Ruo and I both give birth to girls, then..." Zhou Nan couldn't help laughing, glanced back at Lan Ruo, and saw Lan Ruo's face turned red, so she
Hehehe laughed.
When Lan Tiancheng saw that Zhou Nan didn't directly reject him, he felt greatly relieved and couldn't help but laugh loudly, "How could he not have a son? Our little Ruo was born with a prosperous husband, many children and many blessings..."
"Grandpa! What nonsense are you talking about..." Lan Ruo was so embarrassed that she stood up and stamped her feet in annoyance.
…
…
In the evening, after Zhou Nan finished eating, he stood alone in the courtyard and made a phone call. In the afternoon, Zhang Qiang made two more phone calls to urge him to go back. The county government office also called to report on the work. There is currently a lot of work in the county.
Without his nod and signature as deputy secretary of the county party committee and executive deputy county magistrate, there would be no way to continue the development.
Mother and daughter Zhuo Lan and Lan Ruo stood quietly at the inner door of Lan's villa, looking at Zhou Nan who was walking around on the phone making a phone call with complicated eyes.
Lan Tiancheng's "proposal" was also discussed with Lan Jingzhong and his wife in the afternoon, and Lan Jingzhong and his wife also agreed. The couple only has Lan Ruo as their biological flesh and blood, so it is helpless for Lan Ruo's son to be adopted by the Lan family, but it is also
It makes sense. This kind of thing is not limited to the Lan family.
If Lan Ruo's son can be adopted under the name of the Lan family, it will solve the problem of the Lan family having no heirs. Although it seems to be a bit of a cover-up, after all, it will also pass on the blood of the Lan family.
But the key to the problem now is whether Zhou Nan is willing to agree - whether Zhou Nan's parents are willing to agree. If the Zhou family does not agree, of course the Lan family cannot force it. As for Lan Ruo, she can only listen to her husband's family on this matter.
"Xiao Ruo, do you think he will agree?" Zhuo Lan asked gently.
"Mommy, he probably won't object...I know him well. If he objected, he would have refused in person when grandpa said it. Since he didn't refuse in person, it means..."
"But I'm worried that it's hard to talk to my father-in-law and mother-in-law. I've been with them for so long, and I feel that the Zhou family still values family ties and blood ties. I think they will be unhappy if the Zhou family's flesh and blood are adopted to other families.
of."
Lan Ruo sighed with some worry, "Mommy, tell grandpa, if my parents-in-law are unhappy and disagree, just pretend that this matter has never been mentioned and never talk about it again in the future. I don't want this to affect the relationship between us.
emotion."
Zhuo Lan was silent and suddenly said, "Xiao Ruo, if Zhou Nan is really good to you, he will do his parents' job. You know, in fact, there is no loss to you, even though it is adopted to the Lan family
, but the child is still yours to raise, and it is still your son..."
While the mother and daughter were talking, Zhou Nan hung up the phone and strode towards the house. Lan Ruo wanted to say a few more words, but she shut up when Zhou Nan came back.
"Mom!" Zhou Nan greeted Zhuo Lan politely, then turned to Lan Ruo and said, "Xiao Ruo, I have to rush back tomorrow morning. A lot of work in the county is waiting for me! I have asked Zhang Ying to help me.
I have booked a flight for ten o'clock tomorrow morning, I will fly directly to the provincial capital and then return to Ningshan."
"Well, since you are busy with work, you should go back first. I will see you off tomorrow." Lan Ruo nodded and said. She had known that Zhou Nan was going back for a long time, so she was not surprised. After all, Zhou Nan has a public official job.
Not being on duty is obviously inappropriate.
Zhuo Lan stood aside and smiled, "Jingzhong and I prepared some small gifts for the in-laws in Haidu. I wanted you to take them back. Since you are not going back to Haidu, I will let Xiaoruo take them back in a few days."
Bar."
A red luxury Porsche slowly drove into the courtyard. This was Lan Xingyue's car. Seeing Lan Xingyue coming again, Zhuo Lan felt a little uncomfortable. She hurriedly turned around and walked away with a smile, "I'll get in
