How to Raise a Superstar

Mr. Ji has always been a legend in S City. He rose up in the early stage of the global financial crisis in the 70s and became famous by manipulating the stock trading market.At that time, the Ji family was suffering from constant internal and external troubles. Not only was the entire group hit hard under the influence of the financial turmoil, but all the family properties were also mortgaged to the bank and were on the verge of bankruptcy.Afterwards, the company's capital chain was broken, shareholders withdrew their capital, and product sales stagnated. A series of problems followed one after another. There were rival companies outside and eager to carve up the industry, and there were restless younger brothers and shareholders in an attempt to fight for power. In the end, the entire The Ji family actually left only one ancestral mansion to support the facade... Under such circumstances, Mr. Ji fought to the death, mortgaged the only ancestral house of the Ji family to the bank, and invested all the funds he could mobilize in the stock market. Captured a sum of money that could be brought back to life in the stock market.

Because of this, Mr. Ji has a particularly deep affection for the ancestral house that finally saved the entire Ji family. As the current person in charge of the Ji family, Mr. Ji has lived in this mansion for 70 years. It originally belonged to his parents. Since the death of his parents, he and his wife moved into the Ji family mansion and became the new owner of the Ji family mansion. Later, his wife also died, and he lived here alone. leave.During this period, he went through countless ups and downs, and after going through all kinds of hardships, he finally developed and expanded the Ji family to what it is today, and he is very proud of it.People say that the wealthiest is only three generations old, but Mr. Ji thinks that this kind of thing will never happen in the Ji family. His son Ji Bin may be born mediocre and not suitable for shopping malls, but his grandson Ji Pan is quite shrewd and capable enough to support his family. This family, he firmly believes that the Ji family will not change, just as the Ji family mansion has never changed its surname.

However, now he feels old. Mr. Ji is lying on the bed and coughing, his eyes just looking out of the window. The green courtyard is like a day for many years, but he is slowly aging. His lungs seem to be overwhelmed. The dilapidated bellows of the old man are broken every time he breathes, this feeling is very difficult, as if he doesn't know when he will reach the end of his life.

His grandson Ji Pan sat beside him and read the newspaper to him, "In February 2014, representatives of the Huaguo Financial Chamber of Commerce and XXX, a well-known financial expert in country A, held friendly talks at the Asia-Europe Summit, predicting that the economy will continue to rise next year... ..."

Mr. Ji listened for a while, and his consciousness gradually became blurred. Ji Pan noticed that his eyes were gradually closing, and approached him, "Grandpa?"

Mr. Ji didn't respond.

Ji Pan pursed his lips and glanced at Mr. Ji's heart tester. The numbers on it were still beating steadily. He felt relieved and reached out to cover Mr. Ji with the quilt.

Grandpa fell asleep again, probably tired.

Ji's father came back from the company and knocked on the door lightly, "Is your grandfather okay?"

"I ate some millet porridge today and went to sleep."

Ji's father nodded, "When the nurse comes later, you also come out to rest and spend the afternoon with the old man working hard on you."

"Unfortunately." Ji Pan said, "Dad pays attention to rest. I think you haven't closed your eyes for a few days. The company is fine."

Ji's father shook his head, hinting that he should not wake up the old man, and then gently closed the door.

Ji's father lit a cigarette outside the door, took a few deep breaths and then extinguished it in the ashtray. He was not in a good mood. The company's affairs alone had exhausted him these few days, and there were other There were a lot of personal affairs that I didn't have time to deal with, and I told Ji Pan that there was no problem because I didn't want him to worry about it. Although this son is very capable, he doesn't need to worry about it.

The old man fell down suddenly one night, and everyone in Ji's family didn't expect it. Although Ji's father always knew that the old man's cardiovascular function was not good, it was an old problem. It had never been as serious as today. Make him feel uneasy and frightened.

Ji's father was not at home when the old man was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, and he was cuddling with his new lover on the bed. When he heard the news, he was like a bolt from the blue. He hurriedly put on his clothes and rushed to the hospital. He arrived at the hospital about the same time as Ji's father. There was also the wife who had just attended a friend's party and was still wearing an evening gown. The husband and wife looked at each other, and neither of them asked where he had gone. They guarded Mr. Ji until he was sent to the intensive care unit.

Fortunately, after Mr. Ji woke up a few hours later, the first thing he did after waking up was to call Ji Pan to come back, and the second thing was to find a lawyer and order him to publish his will.

Ji's father was the only one in the ward, and even Mrs. Ji was driven outside to wait. Mr. Ji coughed twice, and said to Ji's father, "Abin, I'm afraid Dad can't hold on anymore, and I won't be able to take care of you anymore. .”

Ji's father panicked, "Dad, stop talking, you will be fine."

Mr. Ji has only been married once in his life, and the son born to his wife is Ji Bin, the father of the two brothers of the Ji family.After his wife died, he didn't have other women, but he didn't allow them to give birth to heirs other than Ji's father, so as not to cause disputes over the family property. He himself suffered a big loss in this regard and was almost left behind by his romantic father. The illegitimate son of his father bought a murderer to kill him. Although the matter was revealed in the end and the other party was arrested and sentenced to 20 years in prison, it was enough for him to remember this bloody lesson.

Old Man Ji's voice was very weak, "I won't rest, I still have something to say to you..." He called the lawyer into the room, sat up with difficulty, Father Ji stepped forward to support him, Old Man Ji trembled twice, leaned on Take his hand on the pillow. "Don't comfort me. I know how my body is. I'm afraid it won't last for a few months. I'm just your son. All the things left behind, whether it's real estate or antiques, will be inherited by you, and will also belong to you in the future." You allocate, but I will hand over the stock, company and Ji's ancestral home to Ji Pan in advance."

Ji Bin didn't expect his father to talk about the company's arrangement, and he was a little surprised in his heart. He opened his eyes wide, "Dad, are you going to hand over the Ji family to Ji Pan?"

Mr. Ji nodded. "That's right, I'll nominate him to the board of directors to take over my position later. While I'm still here, those people dare not object."

Ji Bin wanted to persuade him not to think about it, but seeing Mr. Ji's exhausted face, he swallowed the words and sighed, "I thought you would let Ji Pan take over Ji's little by little, and let him start as a manager. For starters, I didn't expect it to be handed over directly like this now, anyway, you naturally have your considerations when you do this, but now Ji Pan is still young, without Dad, you can watch, I'm afraid he can't do it alone."

The next director of the Ji family is Ji Pan. Ji Bin has no objection to this. He doesn't want to take on this responsibility. Anyway, there is no difference between his son's chairman and his father's. He is still a rich and powerful member of the Ji family.

Mr. Ji looked at the ceiling, "It's okay, young people always make some mistakes, even if he makes a wrong decision, there are still those planning teams behind him, and they won't make him fall flat..." He paused, his tone softened , "It's time for me to hand over the burden to Ji Pan, Abin, I'm old and I can't do it anymore, and you can't support the Ji family. Only he can expand the territory for the Ji family. Nian has done a good job overseas, supporting the Ji family alone is not a problem."

Ji Bin frowned, "Ji Pan's overseas company is just a small business, how can it be compared with the entire Ji family? After all, the Ji family is a group, not a small independent company. Maybe Ji Chen can be called back. He's done enough in the entertainment industry, what does it look like to be an actor all day long, he should have come back to help the family..."

"You didn't understand what I said just now?" Mr. Ji interrupted him suddenly, and turned to look at him, "I said that I want to hand over the company to Ji Pan, not the two brothers Ji Pan and Ji Chen!" He paused, his breathing became heavy again, his dry eyes fixed on Father Ji: "What do you mean?"

Father Ji was stunned, "I..."

Mr. Ji looked at him sharply, and said word by word, "I don't care what you mean, you'd better give me up on this idea!"

"Why does the Ji family have a big business and needs him to go home for help? Let me tell you, Ji Bin, Ji Chen has already left, so don't even think about coming back. The Ji family has never lacked him! How could Ji Chen and Ji Pan Same? Are they brothers? Are they from the same mother? They are not! Don't be so confused!"

Ji's father was choked in his throat by old man Ji's scolding, and he couldn't say anything for a while. It was the first time he saw such a stubborn and terrifying side of his father. In his memory, even if he was not good enough, old man Ji was just He indulged in what he liked, and turned to raise his son Ji Pan. He never blamed him for this, let alone said that he was wrong several times like now.Ji's father was a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but argue, "Dad, Xiaochen is also my son, and also a direct descendant of the Ji family in name, so what if we don't give him equity? This way the Ji family is unfair to Ji Chen. Outsiders will also think that we Treating Xiaochen too ruthlessly."

Mr. Ji said angrily, "I'm about to die, you still don't listen to me? You don't care what outsiders think?" He couldn't help coughing violently, and hammered his chest with his fist, Father Ji hurried to give him Shunqi, was thrown away by Mr. Ji, "You have to agree to this matter! There is no room for negotiation! Ji Bin, have you forgotten that you were almost trafficked when you were young? You forgot that you were almost kidnapped by that The thing about the bastard and his mother being killed in the countryside! Why is your mother in poor health? Why did she die early? Ah Bin! Have you forgotten all about it?"

Ji's father turned pale for a moment.

Mr. Ji paused, his eyes flashed with hatred, his face was blue, and he looked a little ferocious for no reason, "At the beginning, your grandma was soft-hearted, leaving your uncle to stay at Ji's house, so that he gave birth to something he shouldn't have. This thought caused our family to be ruined, every time I think about it, I can't sleep or eat, I wish I could strangle that evil seed to death from the very beginning."

Ji's father shivered, looked at his father's creepy eyes, and said embarrassingly, "I see, I promise you, I will not call Ji Chen back, and all the shares and real estate are reserved for Ji Pan."

Mr. Ji didn't let out a sigh of relief. He raised his head and hooked his fingers at the lawyer with difficulty. "Lawyer Wang, you are here to write this will."

Lawyer Wang turned on the computer and began to draft the will. Mr. Ji coughed and dictated intermittently. He left all the inheritance under his name to Father Ji, but if he had a new illegitimate child, or handed over important shares to Ji Chen, then That inheritance will automatically belong to Ji Pan. After that, he asked Ji's father and himself to sign Lawyer Wang's documents, and left a recording backup, sighing. "I'm not a cruel grandfather, and there will be a lot left to Ji Chen. It's possible to make him rich and rich all his life. Don't blame me for being cruel. If you had been more careful in the past, you wouldn't be like this now if you didn't give birth to this child. Trouble."

Ji's father knew that his father was a little dazed about what happened back then, and the older he got, the more he kept thinking about what happened back then. In fact, Ji Chen was so innocent. He grew up under the supervision and distrust of two people. They should know him best. What kind of person is he, it's a pity that people who watched him grow up don't believe his character.

But Father Ji just softened his heart for a second, nodded and said, "Dad, I understand."

……

Ji Pan came out of the room, saw that Ji's father was still in a daze at the door, raised his eyebrows, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Father Ji glanced at him and smiled, "It's okay, just smoke a cigarette here."

Ji Pan didn't think too much, and rubbed his sore shoulders, "Oh, then take good care of Grandpa, I'll go back to the room to clear up the jet lag, by the way, it was Xiaochen who picked me up from the airport this morning, he heard Grandpa was very worried when he was sick. He wanted to go home to visit his old man, but he was afraid that you would get angry with him, so I had to send you a message. If you want me to say, your anger should be gone. Xiaochen has been gone for almost two years Now, you won’t still argue with him, will you?”

Ji's father raised his eyebrows and paused for a second, "How is your brother now?"
