Chapter 184: Wilderness barbecue

Quanshan is definitely a very unique place on the San Francisco Bay. Although the sea around him is filled with thick fog in spring, summer, autumn and winter, , but once you get there, there is no fog at all. It's as if the fog is specifically used to hide this small general, which is very magical. However, if Quan'an did not have this characteristic, I'm afraid the Tang family would not have chosen this place to build their old house and ancestral hall.

In the courtyard of the Tang family castle, several elders of the ancestral hall clan are having tea, and the butler of the castle is reporting to them about some family matters.

But suddenly Tang Huiyin interrupted him, saying, 'Don't tell me about these trivial things. Don't you know what the most important and top priority matter for the Tang family is right now?'

The butler froze for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at the head of the ancestral hall, Tang Jingsheng. But Tang Jingsheng just lowered his head and drank his tea, not even bothering to look up. He said indifferently, 'Compared to the future of the family, a matter of just a few million dollars is insignificant. Let's talk about the situation of Tang Ran and Jieke first. After all, they had a falling out with the Pan family on their first day at the company, which is not a good sign.'

The butler nodded and said, 'According to the information I have received, after Pan Wenjin and Fu Tao left Jieke, Tang Ran set a target for Jieke to achieve sales of 2 million yuan in one month.'

Upon hearing this figure, Tang Huiyin raised an eyebrow and said, 'Tang Ran is really a reckless child. Doesn't she know that Jieke's performance in the past few months has only been around 200,000?'

Following Tang Huiyin's words, the other clan members all exclaimed in surprise, because they were all retired from the business world. If it were just a performance of 2 million, it would not be taken seriously. But if they were told that the project they had just taken on was worth only 200,000 yuan, and they were expected to achieve results ten times that amount, it would be surprising indeed.

Is this child going crazy over the prospect of inheriting the company? It's good to have ambition, but let's be realistic!

After the initial shock, everyone kept shaking their heads and sighing. Some even said openly, 'They're a bit unrealistic. People like this will only ruin the family. She doesn't deserve the right to inherit!'

Faced with this situation, Tang Jingsheng gently placed his teacup on the table. It was as if his teacup had magic powers, and as it settled, everyone immediately fell silent . Then Tang Jingsheng said lightly, 'There is always a fine line between madness and genius. We must not jump to conclusions about any person or thing. Perhaps we need more information.'

Tang Jingsheng said, giving the butler a gesture to continue, and the butler continued, 'They contacted the logistics manager of Suffolk yesterday contacted and obtained information that Suffolk is going to carry out a complete update of the equipment and software systems of the database in the near future. This project happens to be worth 2 million. (Cotton, Flower 'Sugar' Little 'Novel')

This news caused a stir among everyone. Some clan members were surprised at their unexpected good fortune, while others despised their scheming and deliberate nature. However, more people were saying, 'It seems that this is all they have been working on recently, but I'm afraid we cannot judge their abilities based on just one project. The heir to our Down family should be able to do more than just be a salesman!'

Tang Jingsheng glanced back at the butler, who continued sagely: 'This morning, Tang Ran took all the employees of Jieke Company to Ban Yuanshan Wilderness Park.'

When this news was announced, all the clan members were speechless, as if they had eaten a dead rat.

Damn it! Didn't Tang Ran want the two million dollar project from Suffolk? Then why aren't they working hard on this project? They should at least meet with the person in charge of this project first, and now they're going to a wilderness park? Are they idiots? Or are they hoping that the sequoias and cougars there will generate business for them?

Everyone who had been mercilessly slapped in the face by Zhou Mingtang was inwardly screaming with anger and humiliation, but they never imagined that this slap in the face was just an appetiser.

Tang Jingsheng suddenly thought of something when he heard the news, so he immediately asked Tang Huiyin, 'Did you think of something?'

Tang Huiyin smiled and said, 'If I'm not wrong, they're doing this to restore morale throughout the company. In other words, they're not just trying to generate sales. They really want to bring this company back from the brink of collapse...'

At the end of her words, Tang Huiyin paused for a moment before continuing, 'Twenty years ago, someone did just that.'

As Tang Huiyin spoke these words, the expressions on the faces of all the clan members suddenly changed, because it was obvious that they had already thought of who that person from twenty years ago was.

'So do you think this is what they call like father, like daughter?' Tang Huiyin asked, looking at Tang Jingsheng.

Tang Jingsheng shook his head and replied, 'I don't know, but I'm looking forward to it.'

Half-moon Hill Wilderness Park is just like its name, a large park that encloses a wilderness area. It attracts tourists by maintaining the original ecosystem and natural landscape within the park. It is roughly similar to the famous Yellowstone National Park, but the level here is not yet at that level of protection, and many of the landscapes have also been deliberately developed to please tourists.

But overall, this Half Moon Hill Wilderness Park is still an excellent place for leisure and entertainment. Zhou Ming and Tang Ran brought the entire Jieke Company for a barbecue, and naturally chose this place.

Zhou Ming and Tang Ran sat in the minibus with the entire Jack Company team, and the car stereo was playing very upbeat western music. Amidst the music, Zhou Heng happily said to Zhou Ming, 'Vice President Zhou, I really didn't expect that today President President Tang and you would actually take us to Half Moon Bay Wilderness Park for a barbecue. That is the most prestigious barbecue spot in the entire Silicon Valley, and it is actually just by the San Francisco Bay. Just set up a few stands and you're good to go!'

'If we're going to do it, we should do it right. Besides, this is the first time I'm taking my friends to a barbecue, so I can't do anything sloppy, lest so that you guys don't say behind my back that President Tang and I are really cheap, and we just brought you guys to the beach and casually set up a few stands.'

Zhou Ming said loudly, and in response, the white people, including Susan, laughed out loud, while the other Chinese people, including Zhou Heng, all laughed and said they wouldn't dare talk behind each other's backs.

In the midst of the joyous atmosphere, Tang Ran came over and asked, 'Brother Ming, you seem very unhappy. Could it be that the atmosphere in the car still doesn't meet your expectations?'

Zhou Ming first looked back at all the employees of Jieke and then said with a wry smile, 'Ranran, do you really think that they really want to go out for a barbecue and that this is a collective company activity that is a very happy thing for them? At least I don't think so. Maybe they were just putting on a good show, but it was more because they needed to keep their jobs and to give their leaders face than because they really wanted to do it.'

After listening to Zhou Ming's words, Tang Ran glanced back and said, 'After listening to you, Ming, I really feel that the smiles on their faces are all so fake. Does this mean that they don't approve of us?'

Zhou Ming shook his head and said, 'I think it may not be our fault, but a problem with the entire company and team.'

Tang Ran stared at Zhou Ming, obviously unable to fully understand what he meant. Zhou Ming had to go on to explain: 'In fact, it's still about that sentence we were talking about earlier. the entire Jieke Company is sorely lacking that sense of team cohesion, and that is what we want to give them back. But looking at the state they are in now, it doesn't feel like it will be easy.'

'Don't lose heart, Ming. I believe you can succeed!' Tang Ran said firmly.

'Let's take things one step at a time, and I hope the end result will be as we wish,' said Zhou Ming.

The minibus continued on the highway and arrived at the Banwanshan Wilderness Park about half an hour later. Since it was their first time here, the park management took them to the barbecue campsite. It was called a barbecue site, but in reality it was a riverbank that had been artificially developed. There were a few traces of campfires on the riverbank, and it was clear that the barbecue sites here were fixed.

The park management left after reminding them of some safety matters. In fact, they originally wanted to send a security guard to stay behind, but Zhou Ming rejected it. But this illness is not a problem for Ming Zhou. With such a military king here, even if it is really in the middle of nowhere, nothing will happen, let alone the fact that this is just a fenced-in wilderness park.

Once the park management had left, Zhou Mingtang began to get the company's employees to work. Under Zhou Mingtang's division of labour, the women went to the river to wash the vegetables, while the men went to find wood to build the barbecue rack.

'Don't go too far. Although this is an isolated campsite, the park management has said that they cannot guarantee 100% safety. And the wood is all thrown away by the park, it's nearby!'

Zhou Ming told those who went to find wood, after all, it's always safer to be careful.

But after all, this is an artificial park, so there are not so many dangers. And the things were basically prepared by the park, so they were quickly ready.

Then the fire was expertly lit, and everyone sat around the two barbecues. There was no doubt that everyone first took out the wine and drinks to fill their glasses. In the end, Cheng Qian took the lead and said, 'Today we must thank President Tang and Vice President Zhou, because they have brought us to the Half Moon Hill Wilderness Park and given us such a wonderful barbecue gathering. Let's drink a toast to them!'

Led by Cheng Qian, everyone raised their glasses together. Although Susan and the others did not know much about Chinese drinking culture, they knew how to drink, and they gladly followed suit.

After Cheng Qian, Zhou Ming also toasted everyone, before saying, 'I am very happy to be here with you today. You all said just now that you envied President Tang and I, and also General Manager Cheng Qian, because we all achieved success at a young age. But I want to say that our pressure is greater than anyone else's.'

Zhou Ming paused here and looked around before continuing: 'I know you don't believe me, because we are so young and so rich, what pressure do we have? But I think you have all heard the saying that the more money you make, the greater your responsibility. And the fact that we can make so much money means that we will have to take on more responsibility. Whether it's President Tang, me, or our former General Manager Cheng,'

Zhou Ming looked at the three of them and said, 'Our goal is to bring Jieke back to its former peak and beyond.'

While speaking, Zhou Ming was paying attention to the expressions of everyone. He could see that everyone was surprised. Obviously, what he had suddenly said was very confusing to them. They were a little confused by this sudden turn of events. Only Cheng Qian cooperated and replied, 'But unfortunately, I haven't been able to complete the task, so it's still up to President Tang and Vice President Zhou. I believe you can do it!'

'So this is the reason you promised to stay on as general manager? I always thought you stayed because of the money and were preparing to laugh at our jokes!' Tang Ran exclaimed, and her words also elicited a burst of laughter from everyone.

And amidst the laughter, she suddenly leaned over and whispered a dangerous sentence in Zhou Ming's ear, which made Zhou Ming very surprised.
