Chapter 172 Assigning Work
The following afternoon, Lin Zhou arrived at the office and sat behind the mahogany desk, his fingers unconsciously stroking the armrest of the boss's chair, his gaze passing through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows to look at the factory buildings stretching out below.
Lin Zhou's heart was finally at ease when his father-in-law, Su Guohua, recounted his life story yesterday. When Su Guohua personally announced his decision to return to Beijing with Su Wanqing and Lin Xiaofeng, Lin Zhou's anxiety finally subsided.
Ever since Lin Zhou impulsively decided to take his wife and children back to the mainland to visit relatives, he had been considering whether to tell Su Guohua to let him go along.
Su Guohua had been a prominent figure in Hong Kong's business community for many years. If Su hadn't fallen seriously ill when Lin Zhou first came to Hong Kong, how could his Su's Radio Factory have gone bankrupt? It was at that time that Lin Zhou bought up all the production lines in the factory, and in the end, he even ran off with his daughter.
Su Guohua's ancestral home is in Shandong, but due to historical reasons, he has been away from his hometown for decades. Although he has always longed to return, he has never found a suitable opportunity to go back.
After Lin Zhou communicated with the top leaders in the mainland and spent a morning searching, he finally learned that Su Guohua had a niece, Su Wanrong, who had already settled down in Beijing.
When Zhou told his father-in-law the news, Su Guohua was very happy. He couldn't resist the bond of blood ties and decided to go back and see his niece.
After confirming everyone's schedule, Lin Zhou picked up the phone on the table and dialed the number of Zhou Jianming, the general manager of Zhonghua Real Estate.
Zhou Jianming's calm voice quickly came from the other end of the phone:
"President Lin."
"Jianming," Lin Zhou's voice was calm, "I've made it confirmed. I'll be taking my family back to Beijing the day after tomorrow, and my father-in-law, Mr. Su, will be going with us."
"You immediately notify the project team of Zhonghua Group in Sijiu City and instruct them to make comprehensive preparations for the reception, including meticulous arrangements for food, accommodation, and itinerary, leaving no room for error."
"Understood, Mr. Lin!"
Zhou Jianming responded, his tone full of importance, "I've been in contact with the team in Beijing. I'll call them right now to finalize everything and make sure you and your family are at ease."
"Yes, thank you for your hard work," Lin Zhou said calmly.
He added a few more instructions: "Also, have them prepare a detailed report on the recent project progress in Beijing. I'll need to review it when I arrive."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhou leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh of relief. The matter of returning home was finally settled. Although the journey from Hong Kong to Beijing was long and involved many transfers, there was no need to worry, as the plane would only take a few hours.
When Su Wanqing returned home that evening, she found Lin Xiaofeng sitting on the sofa with her. The little guy was holding a picture book depicting the scenery of mainland China and was chattering away, asking Su Wanqing questions about Beijing.
Su Guohua sat to the side, holding a cup of tea, looking at the mother and son with gentle eyes and a faint smile on his lips.
"Is everything arranged?" Su Wanqing asked, looking up as Lin Zhou approached.
She reached up and brushed the stray hairs from her forehead, her eyes filled with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation.
Although she had been married to Lin Zhou for many years, she had only seen Beijing on television news and in photos. This time, she was taking her child back with her heart full of longing for the mainland.
"Yes, the notification has already been sent out from Beijing, so there's no need to worry about the reception arrangements."
Lin Zhou sat down next to Su Wanqing and patted Lin Xiaofeng's head.
"Tomorrow I'm going to the headquarters of Chung Wah Industrial Park in Yuen Long to arrange recent work with the senior executives. You and Dad stay home and pack your luggage, see if there's anything else we need to prepare."
Lin Xiaofeng looked up at Lin Zhou, his eyes sparkling, and asked:
"Dad, when can we go to Beijing? I want to see Tiananmen Square and the Great Wall!"
"Soon, we'll set off the day after tomorrow. Once we get to Beijing, Dad will take you to see everything." Lin Zhou replied with a smile.
He reached out and pinched his son's cheek. Su Guohua looked at the scene before him with a sense of relief in his eyes. It was hard to leave one's homeland, and he had to go back and see what the land that gave him birth and raised him looked like now.
The following morning, after a simple breakfast, Lin Zhou was driven by his personal driver to the Chung Wah Industrial Park in Yuen Long.
As the core industrial base of Zhonghua Group, Zhonghua Industrial Park has occupied an important position in Hong Kong's manufacturing landscape since its establishment. It is not only the production, assembly and supply base of Zhonghua game consoles, but also the core hub of multiple industrial sectors under Zhonghua.
As the car entered the park, neat rows of factory buildings lined both sides of the road, and workers in uniform were entering the workshops in an orderly manner, creating a vibrant scene.
The group's headquarters office building stands in the center of the park, its simple and grand architectural style reflecting the Zhonghua Group's calm and low-key nature.
As Lin Zhou entered the office building, the receptionist immediately stood up respectfully to greet him. Along the way, the employees all smiled and nodded in acknowledgment, their eyes filled with awe.
Zhonghua Group's current scale is inseparable from Lin Zhou's strategic planning. In the hearts of all employees, Lin Zhou is not only the helmsman of the group, but also the guide who leads them forward.
The conference room had already been set up. All the senior executives of Zhonghua Group had gathered around the long solid wood conference table, each dressed smartly and with a solemn expression, discussing their recent work in hushed tones.
As Lin Zhou walked in, everyone immediately stood up and greeted him in unison, "President Lin!"
Lin Zhou gestured for everyone to sit down, then walked to the head seat and sat down. His gaze swept over everyone, and he said in a deep voice:
"I've gathered everyone here today because I need to tell you something. I'll be taking my family back to Beijing the day after tomorrow to visit relatives and handle some project matters there. I'll probably be away from Hong Kong for a while. During this time, everyone needs to perform their duties and stay at their posts."
After he finished speaking, the conference room fell silent, and everyone nodded in understanding.
Lin Zhou picked up the water glass on the table, took a sip, and then began to arrange the work one by one, his words clear and to the point.
"Jianming," Lin Zhou looked at Zhou Jianming, "you are still in full charge of the real estate projects in Hong Kong, especially the cinema project. It's at a critical stage now. We can't relax on the construction progress and quality of the renovation. Report to me on the progress once a week."
"Yes, Mr. Lin, I will keep a close eye on it," Zhou Jianming immediately stood up and replied.
"And there's also Zhonghua's import and export business of game consoles and tape recorders," Lin Zhou said, turning to the general manager of the trade department.
"We need to increase our promotion efforts in cooperation with Southeast Asian countries recently. We can only find agents in Western countries, but Southeast Asian countries are our base and we must not give them up. Therefore, we need to carefully review the contract terms again to avoid any oversights."
In addition, we need to continue to expand our procurement channels on the mainland to ensure the stability of the supply chain.
The general manager of the trade department nodded quickly: "Understood, Mr. Lin, I will follow up personally."
From real estate and commerce to manufacturing, newspapers, television stations, record and brokerage companies, and security, Lin Zhou meticulously manages the work of each sector of the group.
It was clearly explained who was in charge of which section, what the key tasks were, and what problems needed to be resolved promptly.
The reason why Zhonghua Group was able to grow from a small company into a business giant spanning multiple fields in just over a decade is precisely because of Lin Zhou's visionary foresight (which was actually based on the data in the space computer).
The executives listened attentively and took quick notes, afraid of missing any detail.
They all knew that although Lin Zhou seemed gentle, he was extremely strict at work and could not tolerate the slightest carelessness. It was this strictness that enabled Zhonghua Group to make rapid progress.
Throughout the entire morning, the discussions in the conference room never ceased. Lin Zhou not only arranged the recent work but also formulated corresponding countermeasures for potential problems in each sector.
It wasn't until noon that all the tasks were arranged. Lin Zhou looked at everyone and said in a deep voice:
"During my absence from Hong Kong, everyone must work together to get the group's affairs done well and not let me down."
"Please rest assured, Mr. Lin, we will do our best!" everyone responded in unison, their voices strong and clear.
After the meeting, Lin Zhou kept Zhou Jianming and Zhao Jianjun, the general manager of Zhonghua Security Company, behind to give instructions on some follow-up matters.
Zhao Jianjun is tall and has a soldier's tough look between his brows. Although he has become successful with Lin Zhou over the years, he has not forgotten his skills and still trains with his teammates every day without fail.
Upon hearing Lin Zhou's instructions, he immediately replied:
"Mr. Lin, rest assured, I will keep a close eye on the work of the security company in Hong Kong and ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Lin Zhou nodded and patted Zhao Jianjun on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work, Jianjun." He knew Zhao Jianjun's capabilities, and with him overseeing the security company's operations, everything would be foolproof.
