Chapter 83: Eighteen years old

On September 29, Braga will go to Austria tomorrow to play the second round of the Europa League group stage. This time the team did not leave early, but went to Austria on the day of the match.
The afternoon training ended at 4:30, and the coach told everyone to go back and rest.
At six o'clock, Tang Hong was standing on the lawn in front of the swimming pool at home, holding a glass of freshly squeezed juice, chatting casually with Lin Xingyu.
Five teammates including Barbosa, Amorim, Custodio, Bayano and Eziegil brought their family members or girlfriends to the door.
They embraced Tang Hong with a smile on their faces, and then said to him, "Happy birthday!"
Today is Tang Hong’s 18th birthday. Originally, he did not intend to celebrate his birthday with much fanfare, but Lin Xingyu came to Braga deliberately, and his teammates who are usually close to each other knew well, so he threw a party in his home.
Barbosa really didn’t regard himself as an outsider. He had been to Tang Hong’s house before. He went to the back room and changed swimsuits with his girlfriend and jumped into the swimming pool. Custodio also came with his two-year-old child. At the edge of the pool, Sun Rou thoughtfully brought an inflatable cushion to Custodio, so that he could accompany his children in the water, and put them on the inflatable cushion to have more fun.
The deserted villa on weekdays is very lively today. Lin Xingyu smiled at Tang Hong and said, "Before I came, I was worried that you would be depressed because you have no friends here. It seems that I was thinking too much, but you always have to think about it for Sun Rou. , She also needs friends. I think the chairman asked Chen Manhong to come here with this deep meaning, at least so that Sun Rou will not be too lonely."
Tang Hong laughed dumbly and shook her head: "Sun Rou would be lonely? If it weren't for people to eat, sleep, and go to the bathroom, she could stay in her room forever, as long as sufficient electricity, internet, and a computer or tablet are enough. She There are 10,000 ways to spend time."
Lin Xingyu smiled without saying a word, but Tang Hong looked at Chen Manhong, who was sitting on the chair in front of the gentle slope, and asked: "Is there no opinion on her? I am an ambitious staff member. I can't be a nanny for others. My talents and time should not be wasted like this."
Lin Xingyu sighed lightly and said, "She was a little reluctant. After I left the headquarters of New Star Group, she took over my position as an assistant to the chairman, but she was only one of the three assistants.
However, since it was the chairman's decision, she could only do it reluctantly, bargaining? It is better to submit the resignation letter directly. "
Tang Hong took out his cell phone and hesitated whether to call He Zhuqing. He didn't need a nanny, and he really didn't want Chen Manhong to spend his time in a city like Braga at such a young age.
Lin Xingyu's hand lightly pressed against the phone that Tang Hong picked up, and smiled at him and shook his head.
"You have your ideas, and the chairman also has her considerations.
Tang Hong, I guess your passion for football will keep you playing until retirement.
Okay, how old are you retiring?
35 years old? 40 years old?
You will eventually retire.
What about after retirement?
In other words, when the chairman is 60 years old, don't you want to share the burden for her? She is your mother.
do you remember? You told me that she trusts you blindly and gives you selflessly, don't you have the heart to let her sit as the chairman of the board for the rest of her life and work every day?
We all know that one day you will inherit the New Star Group, it's just a matter of time.
But in order to let you know the operation of the group, Chen Manhong, as the secretary, will tell you the operations, large and small projects, and operating conditions of the headquarters and each subsidiary. You can refrain from expressing opinions and opinions, but you must know that this is also a preparation Preparing for the next stage of your life may sound like planning for a rainy day 20 years from now, but ask yourself, with the scale of Xinxing Group, shouldn’t it? "
Tang Hong put the phone back in his pocket, and nodded helplessly: "I have to admit that you are right. I just think she is very prosperous and her youth should not be wasted here."
Lin Xingyu shook his head and said: "You think she is of underachievers, but in my opinion, she is close to the water. If you lose your interest in football after a year, won't she be flat? Some opportunities are made by hard work, some Opportunities come out, and then again, you can let her go, but there will be another person, unless you can convince the chairman.
Closer to home, if she reports your work to you, if you have any opinions, she will pass it on to the chairman. This is also the focus of her work.
Don't refute me, Tang Hong, remember three years ago? Rising Star Group pressed on everything to short US stocks, and we won a big win. What then?
In turn, we reinvested in US stocks, and the annual rate of return in the past three years has been very high. Remember whose idea is this?
Sometimes a word you downplay can make the group realize a substantial increase in wealth.
When we entered the Internet three years ago, you said that the general direction of the future is Weibo and mobile apps. We spent a lot of money on Weibo to promote the market. This year we started to pay off. Last year, WeChat, which was vigorously promoted, is also competing with Penguin to seize the market. , At the Chinese New Year this year, you said that the next stage can be to prepare for mobile short videos and online live broadcasts, and at the same time glue our Internet product users together to launch e-commerce and sink to the most basic market.
You only said a few words, but will let the group headquarters come up with real money to support the subsidiaries to enter the high-speed channel.
The most important thing is to prove that your ideas are right afterwards.
I'm going to ask you the question that has been asked countless times again, how did you come up with it? "
No one in the outside world knows the core of Xinxing Group from its inception to the rapid development in recent years better than Lin Xingyu.
Tang Hong smiled at Lin Xingyu and asked after a moment of unconsciousness: "You really want to know?"
Lin Xingyu saw Tang Hong's expression and knew that the other party might be joking, so he sighed: "If you say that God told you, then it's boring."
"It's not God, you told me."
Tang Hong smiled and told Lin Xingyu the truth.
But Lin Xingyu shook his head and said, "This is even more boring."
Tang Hong sighed.
If the other party didn't believe the truth, he couldn't help it.
Even in his previous life, Tang Hong didn’t care about the changes in the outside world, but Lin Xingyu was concerned. When the two of them had dinner or even had a chance to pick up girls together, he would tirelessly tell Tang Hong what was happening in the outside world. .
What company has seized the opportunity to become the new king of the industry, and what industry is on the cusp of the times.
Tang Hong can revolve around Marseilles, but he doesn't understand the financial crisis. Tang Hong will actually throw off his tail, but he doesn't understand the opportunities brought by the industrial revolution.
But Lin Xingyu understands that Lin Xingyu, who was an investment bank manager in his previous life, never minded whether Tang Hong could understand it, but he would share all this with Tang Hong.
Lin Xingyu was silent for a moment and suddenly said narrowly, "In fact, there is another way to get rid of the chairman's expectations of you."
Tang Hong asked subconsciously: "What way?"
Then I saw Lin Xingyu's expression and knew it must be a bad idea.
"Skip your generation, give the chairman a few more grandchildren as soon as possible and she won't care about you, and then your son will inherit the Xinxing Group.
I think this is the easiest way. "
really!
Tang Hong sighed helplessly: "You always expect me to be the next Steve Jobs and the next Bill Gates, but there are people who have done it. I just want to be myself."
Lin Xingyu put away his joking expression and said softly, "No matter what you do, I will support you."
Tang Hong smiled.
A pure silver Audi R8 roadster slowly drove into the villa and attracted everyone's attention.
Qian Yu, dressed in casual clothes and sunglasses, jumped out of the car and threw the car keys when he walked towards Tang Hong.
Tang Hong took the car key, Qian Yu stepped forward and hugged Tang Hong and said: "The latest Audi R8, the money is from Xingyu, I just brought the car and brought it. Happy birthday."
Tang Honggang let go of Qian Yu, but saw another brand-new car driving into the villa behind him, the French Renault, which is very popular in Portugal.
Compared with BBA, which is more famous in Portugal, Peugeot and Renault in France can be seen everywhere.
Mendes got out of the car and made an action similar to what Qian Yu did 3 minutes ago. He threw the car key to Tang Hong as he walked towards Tang Hong, and enthusiastically wanted to give Tang Hong a hug.
"I know that today is your birthday. This is my birthday gift to you. After you get your driver's license, you can drive to the club..."
Mendes just hugged Tang Hong, but he saw Tang Hong holding a car key in each hand. Of course there is a car brand logo on it. He turned his head and glanced at the Audi R8 parked not far away, then swept again. Seeing Renault who he gave to Tang Hong, his expression was a bit awkward.
Tang Hong smiled and said, "Thank you very much."
