Chapter 918: Chen Xinyi Takes Over
An'an decided to make the family business easier to manage.
She planned to hand over the family's financial sector businesses to Chen Xinyi.
This business she referred to did not include Tengying Group or the listed companies under Tengfei Group.
It only involved the global financial businesses invested by her father and mother over the years.
For the past thirty years, her father had been working towards globalization; even if they did nothing every year, they could still earn a net profit of up to 200 billion from these businesses.
This is an incredibly exaggerated figure; adding the dividends from Tengying Group and Tengfei Group, their annual profit had already exceeded 350 billion.
Apart from her father, no one could probably clear up all the relationships in the diverse industries.
Just that starting twenty years ago, father's investment philosophy had always centered on long-term stability, with no enthusiasm for high-risk industries anymore.
High risk naturally also represents high return, but the Modu Chen Family had long ceased to seek high profits.
The focus on investments has always been stability, and it's been like this for years.
So many industries may seem complex, but their returns are particularly stable, all managed by specialized teams.
An'an only needs to categorize these industries, and she also hoped Chen Xinyi could be nominated for the next deputy director position on the Research Island.
The Chen Family can gradually relinquish CEO and chairman positions under Tengying Group, but they absolutely cannot give up the deputy director and director positions of Research Island.
If nothing unexpected happens, Zhang Wanyi would surely continue as the next Research Island director, completing her ten-year term.
An'an's goal was to follow her.
Chen Xinyi had extremely high talent, even on Research Island where geniuses gathered, she was one of the most talented.
But she had no interest in managing the family's real estate.
"Isn't Xiao Xi there enough?"
"Su Xiaoxi's qualifications are still too shallow, and her deputy director qualification barely made it with your assistance; among the nine deputy directors, only her qualifications are the shallowest. Didn't others work steadily alongside father for decades before rising?"
An'an analyzed: "You are different, even though you haven't taken over the family business for so many years, your achievements in the financial sector have won everyone's respect, so you must run for the deputy director position on Research Island yourself!"
"Is it necessary?"
Chen Xinyi lazily remarked, "Dear sis, why does it seem like you're facing an impending crisis? Given our current situation, do we still have competitors?
"Even if we fail in one or two areas, we can just close down the entire group in that sector; would it still affect our family's overall strength?"
"Perhaps you underestimated dad's influence, and underestimated the series of impacts after dad's complete withdrawal."
An'an said, "There are many things father hasn't shown you, our family's Tengnong Breeding has been repeatedly requested to let state capital in. With father around, we could delay it, but he has now fully stepped down from family affairs.
"This is bound to lead to much speculation from interested parties, and with so many overseas civilian industries, do you really think it's stable without father?
"As they say, the highest-level commerce is inseparable from politics. Father, in these twenty years overseas, do you know how many political rising stars he supported?
"Without these supports and wide infiltration, how could our family businesses have remained that stable?"
Chen Xinyi naturally knew these but never managed them, "Father's vision has always been beyond our comparison. Even the Seven Elders Association on Research Island only listens to him. He's just spending the last moments with mother, not completely leaving, sis, there's no need to be so tense.
"Let alone that dad is still here, even if he does leave, his influence will still shelter us for at least the next fifty years."
Even as she said this, Chen Xinyi still heeded her sister's advice, packed up, and prepared to go to Xiangjiang to integrate the financial industries and technology groups under her.
What needed to be sold was sold, and what needed to be merged was immediately merged.
But after leaving, she couldn't help but cry.
She didn't even know why she was crying, as she'd been the least likely to cry since childhood.
Father really was growing old, and she hadn't prepared for that.
Moreover, the mother who doted on her since childhood, her time was also running short.
Chen Xinyi's first act upon returning to Xiangjiang was to visit the longevity medical project her father had invested in.
The only thing fair in the world is birth, aging, sickness, and death; regrettably, this fairness has already been completely broken.
Chen Xinyi couldn't care less about what others think, she insisted on taking two shots every year to prevent cellular and appearance aging.
Now she was not yet forty and had no problem living to a hundred years.
Normally, following the longevity medical plan, her lifespan could reach up to 120 years.
This was not just a long lifespan; vitality and health were also increasing simultaneously.
Her mother refused the longevity medical treatment, saying it was against the natural order.
If this continued, when the wealthy or powerful were able to live to 150 years or even over 200 years.
The world's balance would be completely disrupted, and disaster would descend.
Wealthy people researching this all knew it but couldn't resist this temptation.
The simplest point is that the prolonged lifespan of the wealthy would lead to unlimited concentration of wealth in their hands.
Ordinary people, including newborns, would have no way out, destined to work for them.
With balance gone, fairness lost, chaos naturally ensued.
Father's speculation of decades ago could happen one day in the future.
Chen Xinyi felt that as long as the Earth didn't explode, their family would be the safest.
If it did explode, then nothing mattered, and everyone would be destroyed together!
She stayed briefly at the longevity medical center before heading to find Su Xiaoxi.
Indeed, for Research Island, Su Xiaoxi's qualifications were too shallow; if she weren't father's only daughter-in-law, she wouldn't have been selected as deputy director.
Now the entire Chen Family business, including Tengying Group and Tengfei Group's control, is in the hands of the Research Island.
Her sister's suggestion for her to run for deputy director qualification was well-considered.
If Chen Jiye couldn't achieve enough results there, An'an would have to defend the Chen family foundations herself.
Chen Xinyi never wanted to be too successful in this life; she just wanted to be the relatively obedient little daughter who didn't always listen to dad.
Only, who would have thought someone as splendid as her father would indeed have a day of aging.
Now her sister had become the head of the clan, and she had to start working hard to protect the family business!
