The Su family is a large family that was born in Huizhou but has been standing in Yanjing for hundreds of years.
During the Qing Dynasty, when the Taiping Rebellion swept across China, the Su family followed the red-top businessman Hu Xueyan and risked their lives to transport arms and food for the Qing army. Since then, they have been appreciated by the Qing government.
Later, the Su family moved from their hometown in Huizhou to Yanjing with their strong family fortune. Since then, the family has been engaged in business for generations, and its strength has been at the forefront of the country.
In the past few decades, the Su family competed with the Ye family. Originally, they were already slightly weakened by the sniper attacks of Ye Chen's father, Ye Changying. However, after Ye Changying's untimely death, the Su family immediately stepped on the Ye family and stepped forward.
Became number one in the country.
The old man of the Su family is named Su Chengfeng. His name is taken from Su Shi's famous article "Inscribed on the Wall of the Western Forest".
As the saying goes:
Viewed horizontally, it looks like a ridge and a peak on the side, with different heights near and far.
I don’t know the true face of Mount Lu, just because I am in this mountain.
Su Chengfeng got his name from this.
Su Chengfeng is sixty-seven years old this year. Although he is not very old, he is no longer in his prime.
It stands to reason that he has achieved great success in his life, but he is still not satisfied.
He hopes that before he retires, he can lay a solid foundation for the Su family that no one can match. At the very least, he hopes to realize his long-cherished wish of "1 is greater than 23".
Since ancient times, no one can truly dominate the business world.
The true meaning of the so-called 1 is greater than 23 refers to the fact that the comprehensive strength of the first-ranked family is greater than the sum of the second-ranked family and the third-ranked family.
To be more specific, it means that the comprehensive strength of the Su family is greater than the combined strength of the Ye family and the Gu family.
In this way, even if the second-ranked and third-ranked ones join forces to fight against themselves, they don't have to worry at all.
Only in this way can the Su family truly sit back and relax.
Now, the gap between the Su family and the Ye family is indeed getting wider and wider, but if they want to truly achieve 1 greater than 23, they still need at least several hundred billion in asset size.
Therefore, the Su family is now actively seeking breakthroughs overseas, hoping to realize this ambition in one fell swoop.
As long as this goal is achieved, Yanjing will no longer have the concept of three major families. Instead, there will be a new pattern in which the Su family looks down on all the heroes.
Therefore, Su Chengfeng attached great importance to this shipping business.
Hearing that the old man attached great importance to ocean transportation, a descendant of the Su family couldn't help but show off in front of Mr. Su: "Grandpa, my grandson feels that the development of the world economy has encountered a lot of resistance, and the import and export trade of various countries has
There is a huge contraction, and we don’t know when foreign trade will fully recover. Under such circumstances, the risk of rashly betting on ocean shipping is still very high. It is very possible to buy the dip halfway up the mountain, so Sun’er advises you to think twice.
Then go!"
"Think twice?" Su Chengfeng snorted coldly and ignored him. Instead, he looked at the middle-aged man beside him and scolded sternly: "Lao Wu, this is how you discipline your son? You haven't even grown up yet, yet you dare to question it here?
My decision is that if I am an old Lian Po, can I still make a living?"
The one called Lao Wu is Mr. Su’s fifth son, Su Shouxin.
This generation of the Su family has five sons and two daughters.
The middle character of the names of these seven children is "Shou", which means protection, and the last seven characters, from oldest to youngest, are Tao, virtue, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith.
And these seven words are what Laozi said in the Tao Te Ching, the seven levels of morality.
Su Shouxin is Mr. Su's fifth son and the last of seven children.
The young man who just spoke was Su Shouli's youngest son, Su Zhiyuan.
Su Zhiyuan is just eighteen years old this year and can be considered an academic genius. Last year, he was admitted to Harvard University in the United States on his own merit.
Because he was young and always favored at home, Su Zhiyuan had a very strong desire to express himself.
However, he used to show off in front of his parents and had no chance to show off in front of his grandfather. Today, he finally seized the opportunity and thought of debating with the old man based on his ideas, so as to show off his extraordinary talents.
With wisdom, he didn't expect that just one sentence would anger Mr. Su.
He was about to open his mouth to explain, but unexpectedly, his father Su Shouxin stood up, opened his arms from left to right, and slapped him several times. The corners of his mouth were filled with blood, and then he shouted angrily: "You read this
Is it in the dog’s stomach? How dare you question your grandpa’s decision here?!”
"I..." Su Zhiyuan covered his face, feeling so aggrieved that he wished he could die here.
He had never been beaten in his life, and he couldn't understand why his father, who had always doted on him, wanted to beat him to death after he made his grandfather angry with his words.
Moreover, it was in front of the entire family.
At this time, Su Shouxin hated this unimproved son like crazy!
He is very aware of the pressure of the old man. Even his eldest brother Su Shoudao does not dare to contradict the old man, let alone his incompetent youngest son?
That’s not how you get into the limelight!
It is very likely that his words will completely put him in the cold palace in the future. After graduating from college, he will not even have the opportunity to return to the Su family to work!
The reason why Mr. Su Su Chengfeng is so domineering and authoritarian has a lot to do with his growth experience.
When he was young, he had many brothers.
At that time, it was still the Qing Dynasty. His father not only had a wife, but also married six concubines and seven wives, who gave him more than 30 children, including 23 sons alone!
And Su Chengfeng is just one of these twenty-three sons.
Just like the princes in ancient times fighting for the heir, Su Chengfeng also fought openly and secretly with his twenty-two brothers since he was a child, and they fought for fifty years before finally inheriting the position of the head of the Su family.
Therefore, fifty years of constant fighting have made his temperament extremely domineering and cruel.
If anyone threatens his majesty, even if it is his own son or grandson, he will never tolerate it.
Su Zhiyuan was young and ignorant, and under the halo of genius, he dared to contradict Mr. Su in order to gain a sense of existence. In the eyes of everyone, this move was the same as seeking death!
Su Shouxin slapped Su Zhiyuan dozens of times, so hard that he could hardly stand and was about to faint. Mr. Su snorted coldly and said, "Okay, don't slap him. Let's have someone take him out.
Keep the meeting going!”
Su Shouxin had been pumping so hard that his heart was bleeding, but the old man didn't speak and he didn't dare to stop.
Seeing that the old man finally spoke, he put away his hand, suppressed the distress in his heart, and scolded the servant standing next to him: "Hurry up and get this unfilial son out of here!"
Several servants immediately stepped forward and dragged Su Zhiyuan out, who was vomiting blood and suffering from dizziness and tinnitus.
Mr. Su then cleared his throat and continued: "This cooperation with the Japanese will not only win at least 20% of the operating rights of Tokyo Port, Yokohama Port and Osaka Port, but also allow them to provide at least no less than
All kinds of cargo ships and oil tankers with a displacement of three million tons. Whoever can provide the most resources will have the opportunity to become one of us. Therefore, when going to Japan this time, you must carefully examine the true strength of Ito and Takahashi.
, In addition, we must force the two of them to use the most resources!"
The eldest son Su Shoudao blurted out: "Father, I wonder who you plan to let cooperate with these two Japanese families this time?"
Mr. Su was silent for a moment and then said: "Zhifei, you are the eldest son and eldest grandson. It's time to take charge of your own affairs. Let you take the lead in this matter!"
Su Zhifei is the eldest grandson of Mr. Su and the eldest son of Su Shoudao. He is twenty-eight years old and is the most outstanding male heir of this generation of the Su family.
As soon as he heard that he had been selected, Su Zhifei immediately stood up and said firmly: "Grandpa, don't worry, Zhifei will do his best!"
Mr. Su nodded slightly, and his eyes fell on the stunningly beautiful girl next to Su Zhifei with a very cool figure.
It was also at this moment that the old man's eyes were finally not so hard, replaced by a look of doting, and he said with a smile: "Zhiyu, you will graduate from Yale soon, and it's time to go out and exercise. This time you will follow
Your brother, let’s go together, learn more, watch more, and accumulate some experience!”
The beautiful and cold girl stood up, bowed slightly, her expression was neither cold nor hot, her eyes were neither warm nor hot, and she said in a neither salty nor cold tone: "Okay grandpa, Zhiyu understands."
