The family welcomed a new member. Su Cheng kept an extremely low profile and did not make it public. Only some familiar people knew about it.
During Zhong Chuhong’s confinement period, he almost never left Xiangjiang. He only occasionally took the time to inspect various companies under his umbrella, or invited friends such as Yang Chaoye and Zhang Qizheng to gather for tea. Talk about friendship.
Most of the time, he chose to stay at home and accompany Zhong Chuhong and their newly born baby wholeheartedly.
As for the name of the child, Su Cheng also thought deeply and finally decided to name it "Su Shijin", which means that the child will have a bright future in the future and inherit the glory and hope of the family from generation to generation.
Although he did not plan to make it public, on the occasion of the full moon, Su Zhixue carefully prepared a celebration. He sincerely invited more than a dozen core members of his company, all of whom he trusted " general".
In addition, he also specially invited many close friends and celebrities in the industry, including Charter King, Shen Bi, MacLehose, etc. They have a deep friendship with Su Zhixue to witness this warm and important moment.
At the same time, Su Cheng officially introduced Zhong Chuhong to everyone present, intending to integrate her into this circle. However, in fact, the senior managers in his company were already aware of this relationship and therefore did not show too much surprise.
On the contrary, industry giants such as Shen Bi and Charter King were slightly shocked after hearing this.
They never expected that Su Cheng, the richest man in the world, would have descendants in such a low-key manner. If this news spread, it would definitely cause an uproar in Hong Kong and even wider areas.
As Zhong Chuhong was introduced to these industry leaders one by one, she couldn't help but feel unspeakable joy in her heart.
This was not only a personal affirmation for her, but also Su Cheng's official recognition of her as a member of the Su family, making her feel an unprecedented sense of belonging.
After confinement, Su Cheng specially arranged a family trip, taking Zhong Chuhong and the newborn to the Chinese Permanent Cemetery in Hong Kong Tsai to pay homage to his deceased parents in the traditional way.
This move is not only a memory of the ancestors, but also a formal introduction to Zhong Chuhong by Su Cheng to his parents in another world - his chosen partner and new member of the family, making this love and inheritance span across The boundary between life and death.
In addition, Su Cheng also confessed to Zhong Chuhong that Gillian and Ami were both pregnant.
He originally thought that this might make Zhong Chuhong unhappy, but unexpectedly, Zhong Chuhong accepted this fact with a very peaceful attitude.
She has already understood the complex and deep emotional ties between Gillian, Ami and Su Cheng, and has no grudges about it.
Zhong Chuhong, who was born in a poor family, always felt that there was a big gap between her and Su Cheng in terms of identity. This self-awareness gave her an extra layer of confidence when facing Su Cheng's multiple relationships. Understand and tolerate.
The existence of Gillian and Ami, instead of making her feel threatened, made her feel supported and shared, which alleviated her pressure as Su Cheng's partner.
What is even more rare is that Zhong Chuhong, Gillian and Ami have already gone beyond ordinary coexistence and established a deep sisterhood.
They support each other, care for each other, and face the challenges and joys of pregnancy together.
Even during the breastfeeding period, Zhong Chuhong did not forget to selflessly share her pregnancy experience with Gillian and Ami to help them better cope with the upcoming changes.
Witnessing these warm and harmonious scenes, Su Cheng felt very pleased.
A harmonious family will not make people upset.
Seeing that Zhong Chuhong, Gillian, and Amei could get along so harmoniously, Su Cheng was suddenly very happy. Previously, business tycoons often introduced their daughters or granddaughters to him.
If you marry these women, you will definitely lose a lot of freedom.
Thankfully, he felt that he did not need to rely on marriage to achieve his goals, so he refused without hesitation every time.
Time quickly entered May of 1980.
On this day, when Su Cheng and Guan Jiahui were enjoying a leisurely vacation in the picturesque Deep Water Bay, a rapid interoceanic phone ringing broke the tranquility.
The caller ID was Steve Jobs, the current CEO of Apple.
"Hello, Mr. Su! After careful consideration and rapid development, Apple has realized that in order to accelerate our pace and broaden our development space, going public has become an indispensable step. This important decision has been unanimously approved by all members of the board of directors, As an important shareholder of Apple, I hereby, on behalf of the board of directors, sincerely solicit your valuable opinions." Steve Jobs's voice came through the phone line with unquestionable determination and expectation.
For Apple's listing plan, Su Cheng didn't feel the slightest disturbance in his heart.
In his memory, the wheels of history have already passed through this track. Apple's listing in 1980 was an important milestone in its glorious history.
He knows that as one of the shareholders, he should respect and support the company's long-term development decisions.
In addition, he does not want to interfere in any development direction of Apple.
Therefore, Sioux City's voice was equally firm and clear: "Mr. Jobs, I fully support Apple's decision to go public. I understand that this move will bring more resources and opportunities to the company.
At the same time, I also want to take this opportunity to express my position - I hope that my 30% shareholding will not be reduced due to listing financing, so as to ensure that our common vision and efforts can continue. I will respond to the new financing needs due to listing. Don’t hesitate to make up the corresponding funds and work together with Apple to create a better future.”
Su Cheng’s meaning is very clear, that is, you can go public, but my shares need to remain unchanged and need to be repaid. He will take the initiative to make up for the financing funds.
Anyway, he hasn’t invested any money in Apple yet. It’s okay to invest financing funds after Apple goes public.
"Mr. Su, I have received your message and I will report the matter to the board of directors." Although we are similar in age, Jobs still respects Su Cheng very much.
"Okay, Apple's current performance is very good. I'm very satisfied with your management. Keep up the good work. I'm also looking forward to the day when Apple goes public." Su Cheng said with a smile.
Since the birth of Apple's new product, the world's first laptop computer, Apple has once again reached the forefront of the technology industry.
In beautiful countries and Europe, many companies take the initiative to purchase large quantities from Apple for their employees to use on business trips.
So, in just a few months, the sales volume of this new product has exceeded 100,000 units.
This result is very good, and it has also brought a lot of capital flow to Apple.
Therefore, Apple decided to take advantage of the company's influence to expand again. This was a good opportunity to go public. (End of this chapter)
