Chapter: 6176
Ye Chengyun nodded slightly, speaking lightly: "However, don't be too hasty. If you can't refine yourself in a few years, it's fine to wait twenty or thirty years. You don't need to worry about your family patriarch's mortality issue as long as I'm here to ensure he lives for another twenty years. It's just like taking a single pill, so you still have plenty of time to learn."
Steve heard these words and was terrified in his heart, on the verge of crying.
Twenty or thirty years?
If the family patriarch were to live for another twenty years, I would be seventy plus!
Seventy-plus is old enough to receive a ten-year retirement pension, but I'm still a young adult with no stable career, how can I keep going like this?
But he didn't doubt Ye Chengyun's sincerity at all, so he sighed and said: "Mr. Ye, if you have something that needs me to take care of, just tell me straight away. As long as it's within my capabilities, I'll definitely do my best for you..."
As he spoke, his tone was humble: "I acknowledge that I did have some personal thoughts and some imperceptible ideas in the past, but please rest assured that from now on, Steve Rothschild will not have even a single thought of disobeying or opposing you. If I don't fulfill my duties, I'll die without a grave!"
Ye Chengyun nodded slightly, then stopped joking with him and spoke seriously: "Steve, since you've said all this, I actually do have something that needs your help."
Steve hurriedly replied: "Mr. Ye, please tell me! As long as it's within my capabilities, I'll definitely do my best for you! Please give me an opportunity to take care of things for you!"
Ye Chengyun said: "My grandfather is planning to move all the businesses that can be withdrawn from the US to Hua Xia, but those immovable properties and industries that cannot be removed from the US will still need someone to manage and operate them properly to ensure their value continues to grow. Those difficult-to-manage tangible assets also require someone to strictly control to ensure stable growth. The family in the US no longer has a strong leader, so I hope you can help me take care of these properties and industries and do some interim management."
"Oh... okay..." Steve let out a sigh and quickly said, "Simple operation, please let your grandfather assign someone to sort out which ones can't be taken away or won't be sold, I'll definitely take care of them and ensure their value continues to grow."
Ye Chengyun said, "Steve, just doing your best is not enough, you need to give me a written guarantee that the immovable properties you're responsible for will generate at least 10% annual returns, and the companies you manage must show at least 10% growth in revenue; if they don't make a profit, you need to turn them around within a year."
"How much... how many?" Steve was stunned and subconsciously said, "Mr. Ye... the rental yield for high-quality immovable properties in the US is probably around 3-5%, and even top-notch projects can't reach 10%... As for the businesses that can't be taken away, they must be traditional industries or manufacturing companies, which are unlikely to generate 10% annual growth... Let alone those that don't make a profit or even lose money."
Ye Chengyun casually said, "No problem, just add more and it's fine. What's the big deal? You're now the first heir of the Rockefeller family, this amount is nothing to you."
"I'll add?" Steve felt his brain spin and subconsciously said, "Mr. Ye... I'm not going to do that... You asked me to help with interim management, I'm willing to work for free without compensation and dedicate myself fully to your service, but then you set such high performance standards and expect me to make up the difference... That's not fair."
Ye Chengyun frankly said, "Yes, it is."
As he spoke, Ye Chengyun also said, "Steve, you should know that I'm doing this because I have confidence in you, giving you a chance to prove yourself, and showing my sincerity. You might as well guess why I wouldn't just let Helena call your grandfather directly?"
Ye Chengyun's question left Steve feeling flustered, he subconsciously asked, "Why... why?"
Ye Chengyun coldly laughed and said, "If I were to have this done by your grandfather, he would certainly not say a word about it. If he does it well and gives me a reason to cooperate with him in the long term, maybe I'll even sell him another elixir. But if I have any problems, I won't dare say anything else, what's certain is that you will definitely surpass him in the future, and at that time your grandfather will be in charge of your funeral, you, as the first heir, will only be left with a title."
Steve was immediately shocked into a cold sweat!
Since Helena brought medicine from Canada to cure Howard, Steve has been harboring hatred towards Ye Chengyun in his heart.
However, he suddenly realized that Ye Chengyun had already unconsciously controlled the fate of his father and himself.
If he really continued to supply that kind of miraculous elixir for his father, he might actually die before his father's eyes.
Just as Steve was filled with terror, Ye Chengyun said calmly: "Steve, I'm giving you this task because I want to give you an opportunity to see if you're worth my continued practical cooperation. If you don't measure up, I'll put all my chips on your father instead!"
In just a few seconds, the phone's Steve was already cursing in his heart at everything he controlled. JrNovels.com
