Chapter 455 Hard Requirements
His smooth career made him accumulate wealth day by day. Not only did he successfully buy his own property, but with the help of Lin Wen, he married a wife who shared his interests. Together with her, they gave birth to two children and rebuilt a happy family.
Faced with all the good things he had, Tian Sifang felt deeply fortunate and satisfied. At the same time, the gratitude in his heart grew stronger.
Therefore, he chose to devote more energy to the development of the paper mill, hoping to make the mill better and better through his own efforts, in order to repay those who had given him help and support.
Over the years, under Tian Sifang's careful management, the Fufeng Paper Mill he was in charge of has achieved top results in all aspects.
The qualification rate of its products is far ahead of other branches. Every sampling test can produce satisfactory results. Its sales performance has long been at the top of the list and no one can shake it.
In view of Tian Sifang's outstanding work performance over the long term and the remarkable achievements made by the branch he was in, it was a natural thing for Lin Wen to decide to choose him as his successor, and there was almost no internal opposition.
When Lin Wen publicly announced that he would hand over the paper mill and printing factory under his name to Tian Sifang, Tian Sifang almost dropped his jaw in shock. He never expected that his benefactor would entrust so many industries to him alone, and the pressure in his heart suddenly increased.
Lin Wen comforted Tian Sifang for a long time before he got him to accept this fact. After handing over all the matters in his hands to Tian Sifang, in order to prevent Tian Sifang from feeling uncomfortable and to prevent others from having any ill intentions during the handover, Lin Wen stayed to help Tian Sifang get familiar with the business for a month.
After Tian Sifang really got the hang of it and the others calmed down, Lin Wencai completely abdicated, wandered around, and lived a leisurely life.
Lin Xiangxiang owns three chain industries, namely Qilixiang, Sijichangqing and Weiziyuan. During the development of these industries, Lin Xiangxiang has also discovered many good seedlings.
She took them all under her wing, taught them personally, and then assigned them to different regions to manage stores.
Lin Xiangxiang and Lin Wen have different ideas. Although the industries she owns are also chain brands, all of her industries are processed food businesses.
This kind of business can cause big problems if it is not managed carefully, so she never thought of handing over the entire brand to one person.
Lin Xiangxiang's approach is very simple. She divides the stores of her three well-known brands into different areas according to geographical location, and assigns her apprentices to take charge of different areas. In this way, everyone only needs to focus on the store affairs in their own area.
Lin Xiangxiang did not have too high expectations for her apprentices. She did not ask them to develop her businesses, but only asked them to keep the stores running normally. Lin Xiangxiang would be satisfied.
Of course, if they still have energy left and plan to expand their business territory, Lin Xiangxiang will not stop them from taking action. However, whether they can achieve this goal depends on their respective abilities and opportunities.
In addition to the requirements just mentioned, Lin Xiangxiang also has a strict requirement for her business successors, which is that they must provide material assistance to the orphanage every quarter.
When Lin Chuyi put on the vest of the eldest princess and came to the three states to take up her post, in addition to reforming the officialdom, agriculture, and commerce, she also changed the nature of a series of shelters established by Qian Laiye, such as orphanages and nursing homes, which were specially opened for homeless children, the elderly, and the disabled who could not earn money to support themselves, from private to state-owned.
In addition to giving these shelters official labels, Lin Chuyi also vigorously promoted the coverage of these shelters, striving to ensure that no people in the three states would become vagrants or beggars.
Such places are not profitable. If they want to develop in the long run, they cannot rely solely on the kindness and support of merchants. Therefore, Lin Chuyi established a Salesian Fund while converting them into state-owned ones.
Lin Chuyi had even issued a decree for this purpose, which stipulated that in the future, whenever there were incidents of house searches and exiles in the three states, a quarter of the money seized by the government would be allocated to the Salesian Fund, which would then use the money to purchase supplies and distribute them to various shelters within the area.
When the Salesian Foundation handles its affairs, it will be jointly supervised by the Chamber of Commerce and the government. The monthly cash flow will also be reported in the first weekly report of that month. The information will be open and transparent to allow the public to participate.
If any staff member of the Salesian Foundation is found to have misappropriated public funds, upon verification, he or she will be punished with death penalty or even extermination of three generations of his or her clan, depending on the severity of the crime.
After several years of operation, the Salesian Foundation and the operations of all shelters have been put on the right track and entered a stage of stable development.
During this period, Lin Chuyi's various industries have never stopped their warmth-giving activities. Even if they are about to leave this world and will not receive the great merits brought by doing good deeds, Lin Chuyi has no intention of stopping this action.
So when assigning them the task earlier, Lin Chuyi specifically mentioned it. Qian Laiye and the others shared the same idea as Lin Chuyi, so this rule was well preserved.
Lin Chuyi did not send this message to Shi Niang in a group, because Shi Niang, who was far away in Kyoto, had never been involved in this matter from the beginning, so there was naturally no need for her to continue the execution.
Different from the chain businesses run by others, most of the businesses controlled by Shi Niang are one-of-a-kind stores with no branches.
If Toki-sama were to withdraw, these industries would lose their solid backing and unique supply channels. Once someone with ulterior motives saw through the differences, these industries could fall into the pockets of the powerful in Kyoto at any time.
In fact, when Lin Chuyi arranged for Shi Niang to open a store in Kyoto, he did not want to make a profit from it. His real purpose was to obtain the most cutting-edge intelligence information more efficiently and conveniently.
However, in a few years, all of them will leave this world. Since they are no longer around, there is naturally no need to bother collecting relevant information. In this case, it seems that it doesn't matter whether these shops continue to operate.
Because of this, what made Shi Niang hesitant was not the difficulty of selecting a successor, but the inner struggle over whether she should shut down all her businesses before leaving.
