Chapter 1107

Su Xinghui said: "This is not helping me with a small favor; this favor is too big."

Hou Guangbi said: "Now I have just invited Noel to Pengjiawanzhen. Whether he will invest here or not is still unknown, so this favor cannot be considered fully completed yet."

Su Xinghui said: "This favor is already big enough. With your paving the way, I am relatively confident about Noel investing here."

Hou Guangbi nodded and said: "It's good that you have confidence, but you still need to learn more about the information of Notte United Steel Company, so that you can fight a prepared battle during the negotiations."

Hou Guangbi also helped Su Xinghui get a copy of the information on Notte United Steel Company when he returned this time, and helped him translate it into Chinese and handed it to him.

Su Xinghui said: "I will go back tonight and study it carefully. Don't worry."

Hou Guangbi said: "Xinghui, didn't you say today that the conditions in the town are limited? In this way, I want to invest in another hotel in Pengjiawanzhen. Our Hou family also has a hotel business, and our experience in hotel management is still very rich."

Su Xinghui was overjoyed and said: "That's great, I was just worrying about this problem. Now there are more and more guests coming to the town, many of whom are guests with status, but the reception conditions in the town are really limited. Today I neglected you and Mr. Noel, and I don't know if Mr. Noel will have any thoughts."

Hou Guangbi said: "That won't happen. He is a businessman and doesn't care so much about face problems. Besides, before coming to China, I had already told him about this problem, and he said he didn't mind."

Su Xinghui nodded and said: "That's good."

Hou Guangbi said: "Do you know why I returned to France this time?"

Su Xinghui shook his head.

Hou Guangbi's expression suddenly became a bit dim, and some fatigue appeared on his face. He sighed long and said: "Alas, it is a misfortune for the family!"

It turned out that the French Hou family was already a big family, with four generations of members, and there were no less than a hundred people. With so many people, of course, they were of mixed quality.

When the Hou family first arrived in France, the person in charge was a cousin of Hou Guangbi. He set the rule at that time that the Hou family would never separate, because this was, after all, in a foreign land. If the family members were not united, they would easily be swallowed up by others.

Later, several elders of Hou Guangbi passed away one after another. Hou Guangbi was the most outstanding one in this generation, so he became the patriarch of the Hou family and the chairman of the Hou Group. He also led the Hou Group to develop and grow rapidly, becoming a huge multinational company with its own industries in several European countries, and the Hou family also took root and sprouted in Europe, with a prosperous population.

After the population became prosperous, the descendants of the Hou family were not as united as they were decades ago. Many family members had their own ideas, and some even started their own companies to do business with the Hou Group, digging into the family's foundation, and there were not a few playboys. In the past few years, the Hou Group had had several incidents, and the losses were not small.

In the past few years, Hou Guangbi had been exhausted because of these messy things in the family, but he couldn't be too serious about some things.

This time, Hou Guangbi received news from his hometown, so he returned to his hometown and stayed in Shangjun County for several months. This was not without the meaning of avoiding trouble. Many trivial matters were thrown to his eldest son, Hou Dayi. However, after he avoided trouble for several months, the Hou Group began to have chaos.

This was mainly because some people within the Hou Group were very dissatisfied with some of Hou Guangbi's recent decisions. They believed that Hou Guangbi should not give Hou Dali any shares, believing that Hou Dali was not qualified to receive these shares.

In fact, Hou Dali was also a direct descendant of the Hou family. Hou Guangbi had always kept his shares for him. It was completely appropriate for him to receive these shares. At least, he had always been guarding the old house of the Hou family.

But some people in the Hou Group had completely lost any feelings for their hometown, Shangjun County. Some of them grew up in France since childhood, and some were even born in France. They had no impression of Shangjun County at all, so how could they have any feelings?

The old house that Hou Dali was guarding was just a piece of property with little value to them. Moreover, they felt that giving this old house to Hou Dali was enough to treat him well, and the shares he received now were worth a fortune.

In addition, Hou Guangbi's several investments in Shangjun County also made these people have many criticisms. They felt that they should not have gone to the country to invest at all, and Hou Guangbi, the chairman, left the company and stayed in Shangjun County for several months, which also became their reason for attacking Hou Guangbi.

They launched an impeachment against Hou Guangbi, hoping to remove him from his position as chairman, and called Hou Guangbi to notify him to return to France to attend the board meeting. Hou Guangbi had no choice but to go back.

After returning, Hou Guangbi's accumulated prestige over so many years still played a role, and the impeachment against him did not succeed. However, Hou Guangbi was also disheartened. He voluntarily resigned from the position of chairman and prepared to return to the country to settle down.

Su Xinghui was shocked and said: "Grandpa Hou, did you really resign from the position of chairman?"

Hou Guangbi smiled and said: "What's wrong? I'm not the chairman anymore, do you still recognize me as your grandfather?"

Su Xinghui smiled and said: "Look at what you said, even if you were penniless, wouldn't you still be my grandfather? I just feel it's not worth it for you."

Hou Guangbi said: "There is nothing worth it or not. Even if I am not the chairman, the shares of my branch are still the most. It is mainly because some family members are making trouble to separate the family. I have been suppressing it before. This time I resigned as chairman, and they just happened to make trouble to separate the family again."

Su Xinghui said: "Then did they really separate the family?"

Hou Guangbi said: "Actually, I have also figured it out. Since so many people want to separate the family, then let them separate. Tying them together by force is not necessarily a good thing. Now the branches in the family have been divided into several companies according to their respective shares. Our branch has probably received one-third of the industry. I have already handed it over to Dayi to manage, and I will live in the old house in the future."

Su Xinghui said: "Are you not going back to France anymore?"

Hou Guangbi said: "I am at this age, and France was never my hometown. Why should I go back? Since I can return to my hometown now, I will let the fallen leaves return to their roots."

Su Xinghui nodded. Now he felt that Hou Guangbi's decision was correct. Isn't there a saying? Don't fear god-like opponents, fear pig-like teammates. Since there are those playboys among the Hou family members, if this family is not separated, they will sooner or later be dragged down by them.

Hou Guangbi himself is a business genius, and Su Xinghui has also come into contact with his descendants many times. He can see that Hou Guangbi's own descendants are still very promising. If they separate the family from others, maybe they will develop even better.

Su Xinghui said: "Grandpa Hou, since you have separated the family, I advise you to put the focus of your career in the country in the future. I dare to assert that at least within twenty years, the domestic economic growth rate will be very strong."

Hou Guangbi pondered for a long time and nodded heavily.
