It's hard to be a stepmother

Shareholders of Qingshan Tea and its derivative brand [Qingshan Inn] arrived at Qingshan Inn one after another this afternoon.

The CEOs of Hongteng and Nuozhou arrived first. Huo Hanchuan and I met them at the door of the inn. The founder of Hongteng is over 50 years old. Huo Hanchuan shook his hand first: "Mr. Chen has worked hard. , let you travel thousands of miles to come here."

Chen Yunpeng smiled and said: "Where, I want to see Mr. Huo and Mr. Xiao. I want to see what the place where you two lived in seclusion for a long time is like."

His voice was loud, and I also smiled and said, "Then what does Mr. Chen think of this place?"

Chen Yunpeng looked around and said with a smile: "A land of immortals." His tone was unhurried, with a calmness unique to this age, he smiled and said to me: "Mr. Xiao, I think this is why our tea is famous. the reason?"

I also laughed: "Yes, this is also the reason why the shareholders' meeting is held here this time. I would like to invite Mr. Chen to taste the tea here."

Chen Yunpeng laughed and shook hands with me: "Then Mr. Xiao has worked hard. On the way here, I told Mr. Cheng that Mr. Xiao can be so calm at such a young age, he is a great talent!"

I don't think it's because of me that Chen Yunpeng praised me so much. I glanced at Huo Hanchuan, and he only smiled lightly, as if he had a plan in mind.

I turned my gaze to Mr. Cheng. The investor from Nuozhou is Cheng Mingxi this time. He smiled at me and said, "Xiaochen, long time no see. You have worked hard here."

Cheng Mingxi is the husband of my third sister from the Xiao family. He has a good temper. Maybe it’s because he is an investment company. He smiles at everyone and can talk to everyone. Sometimes I can’t figure out this person’s true emotions. Just like this time, his wife has a deep relationship with me, but this does not prevent him from investing in this brand.

I shook my head slightly. Since he doesn't mind, I, as the founder of this brand, don't care anymore. No one will refuse capital.

I also shook hands with him: "Thank you, you have worked hard too."

Cheng Mingxi held my hand and shook it lightly: "I'll say hello to you on behalf of Junhe, she couldn't come this time because she had something to do."

I glanced at him, his expression was peaceful, as if he had said something polite between relatives, but in fact we both knew the reason.

However, the grievances between me and Xiao Junhe in the drama "The Great Qin Empire" three years ago have been settled. Since she has clearly listed my identity, I don't owe her anything, nor do I owe her the Xiao family. up.

It doesn't matter if we don't owe each other, so I also smiled politely with Cheng Mingxi: "When you go back, also say hello to her for me."

Huo Hanchuan patted me on the back lightly at this moment: "Let's go into the house first." I smiled at him, I'm fine, I don't care about the past long ago.

Cheng Mingxi also called Huo Hanchuan: "Brother Hanchuan, we haven't seen each other for several months, you see my name is unfamiliar." His name Huo Hanchuan came from me, and Huo Hanchuan followed the order of the Xiao family, Cheng Mingxi called him 'Brother Husband', and Huo Hanchuan laughed when he heard this brother address: "But Brother Cheng is handsome and unrestrained, he hasn't changed at all..."

Huo Hanchuan's greetings are better than mine, and also better than Cheng Mingxi's. He is calm and steady, and his smile is impeccable, no one can tell.

After receiving these shareholders one after another, arrange them to rest. The configuration of this inn is not worse than that of a hotel, so they did not pick any faults.

Needless to say, the dinner was grand. I woke up early the next morning. Huo Hanchuan woke up earlier than me. When I left the house, he had already made tea for a few shareholders who got up early in the tea room. Look at me Come here, he put down the futon next to me, and I sat down cross-legged.

Huo Hanchuan is also very proficient in the technique and process of making tea. He poured me a cup and said to them: "This is tea made by Xiaochen himself. You all have a taste."

Mr. He, the boss of Changxi Group, smiled slowly: "Mr. Xiao is too polite. No matter who made this tea, as long as it is Qingshan tea, it is good."

Mr. He always advocated capital expansion, buying a large number of tea gardens under the brand name of [Qingshan Tea], the representative of the party who raised money as soon as possible regardless of quality, I smiled with him: "What Mr. He said is that Qingshan tea has good mountains and good water, so Tea will be mellow and fragrant, and anyone who stirs it will be qualified."

My answer was not what he wanted, so he frowned slightly, Huo Hanchuan refilled him a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Mr. He, don't worry, tea should be tasted slowly, good tea can last forever, right? Let Mr. Xiao take you to visit this tea garden in a while, and you will know why he is obsessed with the tea garden in the mountains and why he is obsessed with the natural and pollution-free tea town."

Mr. He glanced at me and sighed: "I know what Mr. Xiao means. I support Mr. Xiao. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here today, but I'm also doing it for the good of this brand. I also hope that 【Qingshan Tea】 long-established brand,"

Although he said that, there was still regret in his tone. Chen Yunpeng took his words and smiled: "Mr. He and Nephew Huo Xian said so, just trust Mr. Xiao. Mr. Xiao will know that our [Qingshan Tea] brand will be passed on forever.

"

Director Bai said last time that the stock value of [Qingshan Tea] would fluctuate with the relationship between me and Huo Hanchuan. This time, Chen Yunpeng said again, I understand what they mean. The most important thing is the Huo family. In their eyes, the Huo family is the most solid and indestructible capital. So as long as Huo Hanchuan is behind me for a day, the brand I created will not collapse.

It’s fine if they think so. Before this start-up brand has grown into a big tree, I’ll borrow Huo Hanchuan’s big tree to lean on first. Huo Hanchuan let me borrow it, right?I smiled and glanced at Huo Hanchuan.

He blinked at me, then he looked at Chen Yunpeng, and said with a smile: "Uncle Chen, I panicked when you said that. The reason I have been following him for the past two years is because of this, Xiaochen, he He loves this tea mountain more than me, so if he puts all his energy on this mountain that day, wouldn't I have to stay alone in the empty room!"

He was half joking and half telling the truth, which made the bosses present laugh. Mr. He pointed at him and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Huo to be strict with his wife!"

Huo Hanchuan only smiled: "I hope that Xiaochen will have time to take care of me, but you also know that he is a workaholic."

Like an elder, Chen Yunpeng said to the two of us: "That's right, husband sings and husband follows, nephew, I am optimistic about you two."

I smiled at him: "Thank you, and thank you Mr. He for your support."

Because Huo Hanchuan and Chen Yunpeng sang together, the atmosphere in the tea room became better. When the pot of tea was finished, the other shareholders also woke up. Cheng Mingxi always spoke in a soft voice. Before the others arrived, the smile came first. : "Are you so attracted by the aroma of tea that you can't sleep? Drinking here secretly so early?"

"No, we've already drank a lot of water, you young people just want to sleep." Chen Yunpeng beckoned them to sit down.

Huo Hanchuan also refilled their tea next to each other: "It's still early, let's drink tea first, and then go to the tea mountain in a while, and I'll take the trouble to introduce to you, this tea was fried by Mr. Xiao himself, and this water is a mountain. I just went to the mountain to bring the spring water this morning, you must taste it."

"Thank you Mr. Huo, thank you Mr. Xiao,"

"Then I'll have a good taste. The tea you two made together is worth a hundred, right?"

"Of course, love is stronger than gold at all times." Huo Hanchuan's words contained something, and I saw Cheng Mingxi's face change slightly, but he smiled quickly, and he greeted me behind him: "Ruan Sit here sir."

I looked back, and Ruan Le was walking towards him, and he also got up, I smiled at him: "I'm going to call you."

Ruan Le greeted everyone this time. When the shareholders arrived yesterday, I introduced them to them.

But these bosses are all too old, and they may not understand the music preferences of young people. After greeting Ruan Le, they have nothing to talk about. Just like me back then, I already have experience, so I smiled and asked Ruan Le: "You were busy late yesterday, and I want you to sleep more." Composers always get inspiration in the middle of the night, and Ruan Le is no exception. When we were in a company, he was often in the company in the middle of the night.

Cheng Mingxi took my words this time and smiled and said: "Mr. Ruan, I heard from Xiao Chen that this time you compose the music for us [Qingshancha] yourself?"

After seeing Ruan Le nodding, he said again: "Then Mr. Ruan, you are our shareholder, so you don't need to collect the money?!"

Probably all capitalists think the same, I saw Ruan Le smiled, and he said: "Yes, I am a sponsor."

The other shareholders also laughed, and Mr. He said: "Mr. Ruan is generous! We should all learn from Mr. Ruan, and contribute to our brand, and give money if we have money!"

Mr. He is also very interesting. Can you see the future of [Qingshan Tea]?As long as there is money to be made, as long as it is recognized by most people, Mr. He will also recognize it. This is the commonality of investors, so I smiled at Ruan Le. He now knows that he joined [Qingshan Tea] at this juncture. importance?

Ruan Le only shook his head slightly at me, meaning that I don't have to worry, I don't worry anymore, with them here, no matter what the meeting is like, I have confidence.

The morning tea ended in a lively exchange of greetings. Huo Hanchuan, Ruan Le and I took them to visit this tea mountain. Ruan Le himself often stays in this tea mountain these days, and the pavilion in the mountain is his exclusive seat, so He also helped greet these shareholders. These shareholders are actually not bad. I thought they were in high positions and would not be willing to go to the mountains, but now I saw Chen Yunpeng bowing down to pick a piece of tea and put it in his mouth. After chewing, I also changed my opinion of them.

I misunderstood them. People of their generation have experienced hardships. Except for Cheng Mingxi and Mr. Zhou and other young people who are rich second-generation, most of the others are self-made.

So they rummaged through the mountain. When they reached the top of the mountain, although Mr. He was out of breath, he finally said a word: "The air here is really good."

Chen Yunpeng made a movement of stretching his arms: "Green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains. This is what our country calls for. We should respond to the national environmental protection policy."

Huo Hanchuan fit his words: "Uncle Chen has a lofty vision, and we will be taught carefully."

He was next to me and asked me: "Is the tea mountain we have now the same as this one?"

I nodded: "Yes, Lingshan is located in Yunnan, the scenery is better than here, the mountains are high and the water is long, and so is Qishan. It was once listed as a famous mountain of rare plants by the country, and there is also a tea garden we took over, which is to be vigorously developed by the country. Golden Triangle area..."

Mr. He heard me say this and asked: "You mean that the country has given support?"

Mr. He is an investor and has keen insight. As long as there are supporting policies, the development of this area will have a bright future.

I nodded to him: "Yes, this is part of the Qingshanlushui project."

The expression on Mr. He's face was wonderful, he hurriedly looked at Huo Hanchuan again: "Is it true?"

Huo Hanchuan nodded affirmatively to him, so Mr. He patted my shoulder: "Mr. Xiao, I trust you now, Mr. Huo!" He pointed at Huo Hanchuan again: "Why didn't you have this good news sooner? Say it! Your Huo family is already big and successful, so you don't care about that piece of land!"

Huo Hanchuan smiled at him: "Mr. He, I didn't mean to hide it. I said it when I was going to have a meeting. Didn't I emphasize it to you, must I ask you to have a meeting..."

"Haha, well, I can't wait for the meeting."

But don't rush to the meeting now, let's look at the mountains first.

They looked forward to the future on the top of the mountain. Standing high, people will feel better and have infinite pride, as if the world is their own.

This kind of pride continued until the general meeting of shareholders.

The meeting was separated in the afternoon. In addition to the shareholders who came, the company personnel of Qingshan Tea, director Bai and others, there were representatives of the village chief, and Qingshan Village also had shares.

After they filed in together, Huo Hanchuan pulled out a chair for me, and he sat next to me. He is the second largest shareholder of Qingshan Tea.Chen Yunpeng was sitting opposite him, he was the third largest shareholder, next to him was Cheng Mingxi, and the opposite of Cheng Mingxi, that is, next to Huo Hanchuan was Ruan Le, according to the share value, Ruan Le was the fifth largest shareholder.

A few of them smiled at me, so I smiled back at them, and the meeting started.

The reports of Mr. Bai and Mr. Zhou are the same as last time. They have successfully reported the entire [Green Camellia] project. Their report is the hardware, so I have the confidence to tell everyone the following words Are convinced.

"Hi everyone, first of all, thank you all for coming to this shareholders' meeting. [Qingshan Tea] has been in charge of me for two years. In the past two years, thanks to your great help, it has become a household name, whether it is [Qingshan Tea] or Qingshan Tea. Tea's beverage store [Qingshan Inn] has achieved good results, here I would like to thank all shareholders for their selfless support, thank you colleagues who are working hard in the front line, and thank you tea farmers who are hardworking in planting and picking..."

The village head applauded me first, and I smiled at him. After their applause ended, I continued: "[Qingshan Tea] and its derivative brand [Qingshan Inn] have completed the first round of financing in February this year, with a market value of 2 yuan. Billion, this is a great success for a nascent brand. This success also allows us to see the high profits and high returns of the fast-moving consumer goods 'tea drink'. I know that at this juncture, I will go all out and let the franchisee It is our hope and the hope of everyone here that the stores spread all over the country, and I feel the same way as you."

I looked around them, and my self-analysis that day was true. I desire success more than anyone else, and I desire to stand on the top. When I am a star, I want to attract people's attention. When I am a businessman, I also want to become a new star , I can't suppress my desire.

I saw the village chief from Mr. He, and finally Huo Hanchuan. He sat on the seat and just smiled at me. I took a deep breath. I think the reason why I can suppress my crazy thoughts The idea is because he is there, and he let me know that there is life in my life besides working hard.

I retracted my gaze and continued my speech: "Tea is the hottest fast-moving consumer goods nowadays, but fast-moving consumer goods do not mean unhealthy. Modern people in the fast-paced city life are more eager for purity and nature, and our [Green Mountain Inn] was built on this basis. In the morning, I took everyone to visit our tea mountain, and everyone must have a new understanding of our tea and have more confidence, right?"

Cheng Mingxi said with a smile: "Even if Mr. Xiao doesn't show us, we still believe in you." He took the lead, so the others also joined in. Huo Hanchuan didn't speak, he just sat with a smile, just like the crowd.

I waited for everyone to agree and continued: "Secondly, tea drinks, a new type of fresh drink combined with tea, are fresh and fashionable, and are more popular among young people than green tea. When they are chasing trends, I will compare, most of which are for good looks, good taste, and big brands. I hope that tea drinks can not only do these things, but the most important thing we need to ensure is its safety. The tea soup should not belittle the material by adding other cheeses and fruits. It is the most fundamental raw material for tea drinking. So I want to create a tea drink that can take the health of teenagers, young people, and white-collar workers as the foundation. [Qingshan Inn], no matter the Qingshan is thousands of miles away, it should be when old friends meet, honest and pure... ..."

Director Bai gave me a silent thumbs up. Before I went on stage, she revised the speech and added the slogan of the promotional video. I nodded at her. I have no other advantages. The ability to recite lines is still good.

This is the end of my speech. After everyone applauded, Chen Yunpeng spoke first, and he said with a smile: "Mr. , he also has another great significance, that is charity.”

When he said this, he paused, glanced at Huo Hanchuan, and then continued: "Everyone here knows that when Mr. Xiao and Mr. Huo took over Qingshan Tea, it was for charity. In the past two years, you have also seen it. In addition to maintaining its own expansion, the value created by Qingshan Tea has also been invested in society. Therefore, I think the reason why Qingshan Tea can develop rapidly and its derivative brand [Qingshan Inn] can be favored by the public. Opening 100 branches in just one year is inseparable from this. [Qingshan Inn] is promoting the humanistic feelings of "peace is the most precious, and kindness is the most important", which is more charitable than any other brand, so I Support Mr. Xiao to maintain a sincere business strategy."

I glanced at Huo Hanchuan, he just looked at me with a smile, he seemed confident, Hong Teng is my third largest shareholder, if he stands on my side, then other people will agree, it looks like Huo Hanchuan said hello to Boss Hongteng in advance, no wonder he told me to rest assured that day.

The meeting was successfully concluded. When they left the conference room, I stood in front of the window and looked out at the tea garden stretching over [-] mu. I was relieved. I felt much better. Looking at the mountains and rivers would make me feel better. If possible, I really want to live here for the rest of my life.

The shareholders left one after another the next day after the meeting, and Cheng Yunxi also left. He invested in my TV series, and I asked him to wait until after the opening ceremony. He is also a producer, but he smiled at me and said Let me shoot with confidence, he believes in my production.

Since he said he believed it, I didn't say much. I'm afraid the relationship between my wife and I will not be good in this life. He doesn't know what kind of mentality he has. Hey, which investment industry is good, he can choose the one that is most beneficial to him at any time, and it has nothing to do with feelings.

Since he can talk and laugh from the standpoint of a businessman and start from scratch, then I can also talk and laugh, and the mast and scull will be wiped out.

Huo Hanchuan and I sent them to the entrance of the village. When they came, they had all kinds of doubts, but when they left, they walked briskly. Chen Yunpeng also told the two of us that when we went back, we would visit his house as guests. My wife likes the TV series I filmed very much, and said that now she is obsessed with watching handsome guys.

Huo Hanchuan took my hand and smiled at him: "Xiaochen and I will definitely visit Aunt Chen when we go back." When they were all gone, the two of us walked back. On the way, I asked him: "This Chen is always you Did you buy it?"

I asked him with a smile, and Huo Hanchuan took my hand and smiled at me: "I am such a domineering CEO, do I still use this method of bribery? Do they see that I can't surrender?"

I looked at Yun Xiao in the sky, and Huo Hanchuan smiled too, and said to me after a while: "I didn't buy him, although I can let him stand by your side, but if I do, that Chen Yunpeng The old fox would not be so willing, and would give him a handle, so I didn't do anything."

He pulled me to stop, looked at me and said: "The reason why Chen Yunpeng can stand on your side is that he has taken a fancy to your talent. Believe me, you are the best, and you are the best Qingshancha." stewards. We’ve created a brand that stands upright and fears no one.”

His eyes are gentle, but his words are firm. Behind him is the tea mountain, which makes his words extraordinarily powerful, like a mountain.I looked at him and smiled: "OK."
