Chapter 54 The rain is coming

Ye Dengjue took a sip of tea and looked up at me. He was old, and although his face was rosy, his spirit was extremely strong. Helplessly, his essence had declined. In my Xuanmen Wuheng Sect's explanation of the fundamental nature of human body, "shen", "qi", and "yuan" are the three major foundations that maintain human life. The spirit is external, the qi is internal, and the yuan is the essence. If the spirit is damaged, the person will be sick; if the qi is damaged, the origin will be exhausted and cannot be maintained for a long time. If the primordial is damaged, the person will die.

Although Mr. Ye is steady in spirit, his behavior is slightly slow, his eyes are slightly unlucky, his white light and dark spots. It is because of his energy that has been hurt. I think of him as a hero, as he is proud of his family, as he guides the economy, and talks about financial situations. Unfortunately, his life is full of lush grass! Not only him, each of us has to face the word "old".

Ye Dengjue's eyes were shining brightly and he said, "With Director Liu's recommendation and my unfilial three-dog son, I now look at your own style. I know that you are a master. You cannot judge your age and experience. I want Kong Rong to let the pear at the age of five, Luo Binwang at the age of seven, and Gan Luo became a prime minister at the age of twelve. Haven't they all achieved a strange saying of eternal eternity? Mr. Fang, I invite you to come because I want Mr. Fang to tell me a good fortune. How many more can I enjoy?"

I trembled slightly. What I fear most about is that I receive this business - the customer asks to calculate his life expectancy.

Those who are ignorant and pretend to be cheating will naturally speak nonsense and talk nonsense. But for the true Master Xuanyi, the lifespan of a person can be calculated. However, this is extremely difficult to speak. If a customer can still live for a long time, it would be fine. But if a customer is sick and his life is not long, it will be difficult for the masters to express his feelings. In order to prevent customers from worrying day by day, masters often use the "add half" and "push three" methods to "be kindly" deceive customers. The "add half" method is the most commonly used method: if a person can only live to 46 years old, then masters will say that he can live to 92 years old; if a person only has ten years of life, masters will say that he still has twenty years of life. When the customer's family comes to challenge him, the master will also have a way to refuse.

Mr. Ye continued: "To be honest, Mr. Fang, I personally created a foundation such as the Ye Shijue. My business is spread all over the world. Among the freighters sailing in the Pacific, one of the ten freighters is my "Shijue Ocean"... Unfortunately, I am old and my heart function has become increasingly depleted since I suffered from rheumatoid heart disease in the elderly five or six years ago. I know that my heart is extremely bad at my age and I will have life worries at any time. Therefore, I have actually retired from my first half of my career and let my grandchildren take care of their business. What a pity! I also know that my descendants are not filial and have no avail!" At this point, the old man sighed.

Thinking that he was in a bad mood, I quickly said, "Mr. Ye, don't worry, just say slowly, I'm listening carefully."

"Could it be that 'wealth is not rich for three generations'?" Mr. Ye took a sip of tea and continued, "I have three sons, one daughter, and three grandsons who have also become senior executives in the company. But most of my three sons, three grandsons are scheming, or they are gentle and cowardly, and cannot accomplish great things. My eldest son Ye Ziming, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Shijue and the President of the Group, has half retreated, and he will take over all the affairs of Shijue. However, although the boss is talented and knowledgeable, he is cowardly by nature and cannot suppress shareholders, and has no means of power and tricks. Therefore, he takes over me as the boss, but often comes to ask me secretly. How can I transfer my Ye family and my shares to him in a hundred years?

"The second son Ye Zihui, I won't talk about this beast! He is a wealthy playboy with a very famous reputation in Shanghai and even East Asia. He eats, drinks, and plays, especially women... Although this beast is the vice president of Shijue Group, in charge of Shijue Financial Banking and Insurance Industry, he has made great achievements in the economy and finance, but with his personal style, I am worried that he will sooner or later ruin the country I have built over the past 40 years!

"The third brother Ye Zicong, you are already familiar with this. This little beast is my secretly decided successor. I also assigned him the leading pillar industry of Shijue - real estate. He is generous and steady, and he is quite scheming, and can convince the public. But this little beast has become a gambler! Four years ago, he bet 60 million US dollars in Singapore, and was widely publicized by the media. My heart disease has completely worsened from that matter! This little beast is too entrusted by me. Until yesterday, I heard that

He and I, Shijue’s mortal enemy, Du Bingchan, the successor of China, had another big bet, and it turned out to be tens of billions... Mr. Fang, how could I entrust Shijue to him like such an unfilial, extravagant and squandered son?!" Ye Dengjue said this, stood up and stared out the window quietly, "And my three grandsons, one is too young, and the other is also spoiled. The power of a wealthy family has given them too much superiority and disdain... Alas! It is said that the day of a wealthy family is said to be a rich family.

My son is so glorious and wealthy that everyone envies, but who can tell me that I am full of bitterness? Sure enough, unfortunate families are different, poor people are unfortunate, but rich people are also unfortunate! My three sons have actually been competing in secret, forming gangs in order to get my shares. Although I have withdrawn from the group and only serve as a group consultant, I am still the largest shareholder of the group, and I personally own 29% of the group's shares.

With this, I am about to die, but how can I rest in peace? How can I not find a successor for my foundation that I have been diligent for forty years? Alas! I am old and I am not afraid to die, but it is precisely this reason that I am very afraid of death. Now I don’t dare to write a will. If I do it at will and let my descendants ruin it, where will this place be the foundation of Ye’s family? Where can I place hundreds of thousands of employees around the world in Ye?”

When Ye Dengjue said this, his face seemed to have grown aged for dozens of years in an instant, and his wrinkles revealed his aging and exhaustion.

I sighed lightly and remembered what my master once said to me: The greater the ability of a person, the greater the responsibility he will be. But only at this moment did I clearly understand the meaning of this sentence, and I couldn't help but feel deeply touched by Ye Dengjue's heart. He was struggling to select a successor for his Ye Group, naturally in order not to let the family's foundation collapse; and his last sentence "If you don't find a good successor, where will you place hundreds of thousands of employees in Ye's world?" made me tremble. Shijue's global business has factories in countless countries. If hundreds of thousands of employees are led by a luxury and squandering manager, then sooner or later, these hundreds of thousands of employees will be laid off and unemployed one day!

Only then did I deeply understand why he asked me to live a good life for him to prolong his life. He wanted to seize the few remaining time of his life to speed up the cultivation of his descendants so that one of them could fully shoulder his trust in his succession.

I remembered what he said before and asked, "Old Ye, you said you have three sons and one daughter, so what about your daughter? She didn't hold an important position in Ye's family?"

Ye Dengjue shook his head and said, "No, the field she studied has nothing to do with finance and management. She studied archaeology. Besides, she is still young, and she is not even older than my eldest grandson."

It turned out that Ye Dengjue died of illness twenty-six years ago, and his ex-wife gave birth to three sons. The lady who rekindled his strings gave birth to this daughter for him. Therefore, his youngest daughter, the pearl in his hand, is not as old as his eldest grandson, Ye Ziming's son.

Of course, this young daughter can share Ye Dengjue's legacy, but she will never participate in the group's management structure.

"So, Mr. Fang, you understand. My wealthy Ye family seems to be rich and steady, and the family is in a prosperous state, but in fact it is in a critical situation. If there is any disturbance, it will fall apart and be unimaginable... The reason why it is still prosperous is that I am not dead yet! Although my three sons are fighting behind my back, they have to restrain themselves in front of me. This is exactly what I worry about the most! If I die, I am afraid that the three of them will fight for power before they are cold! What is the difference between this and the nine sons fighting for power after the death of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty? People say that they are buried in peace and forget about the past and after their death, but can I forget it?"

When I saw him describing his sadness, my body trembled slightly, and immediately said, "Ye Zhen, don't be so worried and sad! I have already identified the face and got a divination for you. Mr. Ye has a Jiayuan Spring and Autumn to pass!"

"Mr. Fang is serious?" Old Ye suddenly turned around and stared at me, "Can I really live for ten years?"

Sixty years are one Jiazi, and Jiazi is divided into six Jiayuan, and one Jiayuan is ten years.

I smiled slightly and nodded happily.
