When the company was in the morning, as he expected, the company boss announced his personnel appointment at the meeting, and his nephew was appointed as the company's deputy manager of the finance department. Mu Zhaoyang thought he would be very angry, but no, Mu Zhaoyang made a bullshit speech at the meeting of the company's nephew's proud company with a bystander mentality. When others applauded, Mu Zhaoyang also applauded. Mu Zhaoyang smiled calmly, watched the company boss's nephew walk off the stage, giving himself a sarcastic smile.

After the meeting, Mu Zhaoyang left the company's conference room alone as he watched everyone rushing up to say all kinds of good things to the company's upstart. When he left, he even felt a hatred look on his back staring at him. Mu Zhaoyang's position on the company's boss's personnel appointment was almost known to the whole company, and the parties involved naturally knew it, so Mu Zhaoyang didn't expect that guy would give him any good face.

Mu Zhaoyang was thinking about the scene when he met Long Liexu in the morning all day long. He couldn't tell what it was for. He decided to go and meet the young Yilong Company's boss for a while after get off work. No matter what, it is understandable that the person who wrote the word "Six Years" is always worth letting him meet again.

Mu Zhaoyang was looking forward to the arrival of get off work for the first time.

In the endless rain and a somewhat depressing atmosphere, the day finally passed. Mu Zhaoyang was the first to leave the company's gate, ran downstairs, called a taxi, and went to the city center.

The city center of the provincial capital is the truly prosperous place, with high-rise buildings and shopping malls everywhere. Originally, the provincial capital had the most products, the largest stores, and the most popular department store, and the common people like to go to. In front of those later competitors, they have fallen into a pitiful situation of living by renting stalls. The once glorious department store in the provincial capital is now a paradise for small vendors to sell unsold and discounted products.

On this treasure land of land in the city center, the former department store was like an old and yellow-faced woman. She could only squat in an inconspicuous corner, wearing a shabby dress, jealous, looking up at the "peers" around her who were shining with light and full of youth and modernity.

Ruthless history will always eliminate backward things, no matter how glorious it was before.

In addition to various shopping malls, shops and supermarkets, in the city center, various entertainment and leisure places are also a unique scenery here.

No one has ever spent every day in the downtown business district. However, according to statistics from an unconfirmed market research company, its conservative estimate is about 40 or more.

When Mu Zhaoyang's taxi parked next to an island garden in the city center, out of a professional habit, Mu Zhaoyang couldn't help but think of the number 400,000, which was in Mu Zhaoyang. This number may still be conservative. The company he is currently working in is currently planning to develop a high-end office building in the city center, and plan the downstairs of the office building into a shopping mall. Building a building here will definitely put a treasure pot here. It is easy to make money with it, but the difficulty is definitely not small.

As soon as Mu Zhaoyang got off the car, two girls carrying things got into the taxi. A light smoke came out of the taxi and left.

Even in such weather, the flow of people in the entire city center business district has not decreased much. People on the street are carrying umbrellas and carrying things, walking in a hurry, or entering a shopping mall or coming out of a shopping mall...

After walking for less than five minutes, Mu Zhaoyang arrived at the cafe that made him leave angrily yesterday.

The cafe is facing the only green area in the city center, which is an open green park square planned by the city government. Because of the existence of this square, the surrounding land prices and flow of people have soared more than doubled.

The people said yes, and the merchants said yes!

Seeking peace in the midst of the noise! ​​Drinking coffee here is naturally expensive.

As soon as Mu Zhaoyang entered the cafe, a waiter in uniform came over and bowed politely to Mu Zhaoyang, "Sir, are you one or..."

"I've made an appointment!" He took his umbrella to the place where the cafe specializes in storing umbrellas for guests.

"Oh!" The waiter looked at Mu Zhaoyang carefully and asked with a smile, "Are you Mr. Mu?"

Mu Zhaoyang nodded.

"Please come with me, a gentleman is already waiting for you on the second floor!"

The soft piano music was played in the cafe, and the sound of rain outside was no longer heard in the cafe. Several pairs of well-dressed men and women sat in the cafe, talking in a drizzle-like manner.

Following the waiter who led the way, Mu Zhaoyang came to the second floor of the cafe. There were only a few people sitting on the second floor. As soon as Mu Zhaoyang went up the second floor, he found Long Liexue.

Long Liexue also discovered him. Long Liexue sat in a quiet position on the second floor against the window. That position could see the scenery outside the cafe. Because it was raining, the window was closed, but the goose yellow curtains rolled up.

The wall light next to Long Lie Blood is emitting a hazy light, making people feel warm.

When he saw Mu Zhaoyang, Long Liexue stood up. Long Liexue smiled, and his smile also gave people a warm feeling.

The waiter took Mu Zhaoyang to Long Liexue, and Mu Zhaoyang sat opposite Long Liexue.

"Sir, what do you want to drink?"

"Latte, thank you!"

The waiter retreated.

Mu Zhaoyang looked at Long Liexue very carefully. He was so shocked in the morning that he had not yet woken up from the shock. Long Liexue left. Now he finally had an opportunity to observe closely.

Mu Zhaoyang looked at it unscrupulously, but Long Liexue was just smiling there, letting Mu Zhaoyang observe it until the waiter brought the coffee Mu Zhaoyang wanted, Mu Zhaoyang put away his eyes looking at Long Liexue and sighed softly.

The scent of the latte slowly drifted in the air. Mu Zhaoyang noticed that in front of the boy opposite him, there was not coffee, but a cup of water.

"Don't you like drinking coffee?" The first sentence of the meeting was held.

"I personally prefer purer things. If I have to put something in the water, I usually choose tea." Since my meeting with Mr. Hu, Long Liexue has gradually fallen in love with drinking tea. There are many things in the tea that can make him taste it for a long time without getting bored.

"Oh!" Mu Zhaoyang lowered his head and stirred the coffee in front of him, "I didn't promise you in the morning. Why are you so sure I will come today?"

"Because I think you are also a person who likes pure things. At this point, we are very similar and have many common languages."

After hearing this, Mu Zhaoyang looked at Long Liexue's eyes carefully. In Long Liexue's eyes, he saw a calm sea, clear, pure and sincere.

Mu Zhaoyang suddenly felt a little bit touched by being understood, "How many pure things are there in this world?"

Long Liexue also smiled, "It is because there are too few pure things that are worth pursuing."

"What should a so-called pure company look like in your eyes?"

Long Liexue considered this problem when he was not surprised by it.

"In my eyes, a pure company does not exist just for the pursuit of profits."

"Oh?" Long Liexu's answer was somewhat beyond Mu Zhaoyang's expectations, "It does not exist for the pursuit of profits? Then what else is worth pursuing for a company?

"The company itself is a dead thing. It is people who give it life and vitality. Without people, a company is nothing. If a company exists just to pursue profits, it means that the people who form the company exist only to pursue money. When a person lives to the point where he only has such a pursuit, it is really sad."

If this was not said by Long Liexue, Mu Zhaoyang would only regard it as the dream of a childish boy.

"I have to say that your pursuit is really too idealistic."

"Maybe my pursuit is idealistic, but my actions have never been idealistic. Without the support of strength, all ideals can only be empty talk. There is no need to deny that for me, pursuing profit is the company's current goal, but it is not the meaning of the company's existence. I hope that everyone in the company will stay not just for salary or bonuses. I hope that the company can become a platform that allows all company employees to realize their personal dreams and show their ambitions. We are gathering together because of their dreams, not money. This is indeed very idealistic, but I am working in this direction."

"A company cannot exist just by relying on the full ideals of a few people." Zhao Yang poured cold water on Long Liexue without any hesitation. "All entrepreneurs, at the beginning of their business, do not have full ideals and ambitions? Even if his ideal is just money, you have to admit that the fanaticism arises from a person or some people's pursuit of money is not weaker than any other noble ideal. The cruel contrast between reality and dreams will soon awaken those who have dreams."

"It's indeed very soon!" Long Liexu said these two words with a smile on his face, "Six years!"

"Not bad, it's six years!" I felt a little excited, Mu Zhaoyang smiled at Long Liexue embarrassedly, drank a little coffee, calmed down his emotions.

"I'm very curious, can I tell me how you came to such a conclusion?"

"Yes!" Mu Zhaoyang nodded, his eyes very complicated. "From the company I am in, I have been in a total of five companies in the past ten years, including two foreign companies. In my job position, I have been analyzing and researching the companies I work in and some other companies from a work perspective. I have studied the lifespan history of nearly a thousand companies, which made me feel depressed..."

Long Liexue didn't say anything, he was listening very seriously.

“Through those studies, I found our country

, especially private enterprises, are short-lived ghosts. At present, the world's 500i industry has an average lifespan of 40-42 years. Generally, the lifespan of multinational companies is 10-13. Take country j as an example, its average lifespan is 30 years. As for us, the group companies whose lifespan is only about 7 years, which is basically only equivalent to some small foreign companies. The survival lifespan of most of our enterprises is only 3-7 years, which is really a heartbreaking number. 100 companies in our country go bankrupt every year, which is more than 10 times that of the world's largest economy..."

When he first heard this set of data, Long Liexue was also filled with shock, but he still didn't say anything. Long Liexue knew that Mu Zhaoyang would tell him what he wanted to ask, indeed...

"After I came to such an analysis, I also asked countless whys? Why are many foreign companies still full of vitality and vitality after decades or even hundreds of years, while few of our private companies can survive ten years? Finally, I came to a conclusion that if the survival experience of a company is divided into: childhood, adolescence, and middle-aged, many of our companies will usually enter the old age in about four years and die with it. Many foreign companies have longer spans than us.

Much more, it should be noted that the survival period of these five enterprises is not limited by time. Some enterprises, after 100, are still in adolescence. All enterprises that enter the elderly early have some common characteristics. It can be said that many enterprises that die prematurely start to die from within after eliminating the influence of the overall environment. Generally, such enterprises have two very important characteristics before death. In corporate administration, bureaucracy is prevalent, and in corporate personnel, nepotism is nepotism and villains are in charge of the right…”

Speaking of this, Mu Zhaoyang smiled bitterly, "It was probably because I was young and frivolous at the time! I was always dissatisfied with my own discovery. I always wanted to find an opportunity to prove myself. I always wanted others to see what extent can a company that was promoted by myself and eliminated death from the inside? I tried it three times and failed three times. None of the three private enterprises I work in had lived for six years. I watched those companies that have condensed my efforts step by step toward death but I was powerless. That feeling was really uncomfortable, so every time, I would leave early. This time, it was probably not far from the day I submitted my resignation. By the way, I have always had a question to ask you, how did you guess the note I left behind? "

Mu Zhaoyang had been enduring this last question for a long time. He wrote the note at the beginning just to mock a late "local boss". Mu Zhaoyang wanted to use the note to tell him: Based on your current actions, I can conclude that your company can only live for six years at most. Although doing this is a bit arrogant, Mu Zhaoyang does not believe it. Those who see the note can understand what he means, but to his surprise, Long Liexue saw the note.

"What you said when you left that day has reminded me that the lifespan of ordinary private enterprises in my country is three to seven years. The real estate industry is heating up now and the profits are relatively large. Therefore, it will also attract more companies to join the competition in the real estate industry. In the short term, the prospects of my country's real estate industry are relatively broad, but in the long term, it is inevitable that the real estate industry will bid farewell to the current era of huge profits. When the local industry bid farewell to huge profits, it is also when many poorly managed real estate companies began to die in large numbers. I judged that the first reshuffle of the real estate industry was five to six years later. By that time, the real estate companies that can truly survive may be less than one-quarter of the peak period." Long Liexu smiled, free and gentle, "I think this should be the judgment you made after combining the survival status of private enterprises in my country."

Mu Zhaoyang looked at Long Liexue and couldn't speak. Although Long Liexue was still a teenager, Mu Zhaoyang could not regard Long Liexue as an ordinary teenager. This man, this man, in terms of demeanor, spirit, and knowledge, far exceeded the limit that his age could reach. However, the most terrifying thing was not these, but the vision of this person. When most real estate companies on the market were still intoxicated by the hot market, this person had already seen the crisis behind the prosperity. This person has just entered the industry. What a terrible and sharp vision. Mu Zhaoyang made such a report to the company he is in a few days ago, but the company regarded that report as a joke and put it aside.

Long Liexue stood up and stretched out his right hand to Mu Zhaoyang, "You said you tried three times, but failed three times. Here, I ask you to give yourself another chance, and I ask you to leave your fourth chance to Yilong. I can't promise you anything now, because everything is unknown. As you said just now, a company cannot exist just by relying on the ideals of a few people, but what I want to say is that a company that cannot bear our ideals has no need to exist at all. This time, please put your ideals in Yilong and let us see what the future of Yilong will be like?"

The two hands were held together...
