Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1522: Chapter 1313: Personal Assets Like a Rolling Snowball

Soruns spoke sincerely, his words filled with genuine intention as he earnestly invited Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng had heard from Xiahou Qi and Jiang Kuo that every new president would visit the group’s industries continents-wide at the start of their term, which had become customary.

Previously, Bai Xiaosheng was busy with the new reform in the Greater China Region, which kept him occupied.

Jiang Kuo had also shielded him from many social engagements, including postponing his visits.

However, such visits were inevitable sooner or later, and the order of visits was up to Bai Xiaosheng to decide.

Currently, Bai Xiaosheng had no reason to refuse Soruns’ invitation.

Nor was there a need to refuse.

When Bai Xiaosheng was at the headquarters, he learned about the industries in the European Region, spread across dozens of countries, organized into thirty-two divisions with an extremely meticulous division of labor. Their policies, management, and various other aspects were unique. It’s an indisputable fact that the European Region ranks in the top three among the six major business units.

During this reform, Bai Xiaosheng had drawn much reference from reports from the European Region.

"Alright, since Mr. Soruns has invited me, I will schedule a visit to your European Region to learn as soon as possible!" Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.

On the other end of the phone, Soruns was pleased with how readily Bai Xiaosheng accepted, and he chuckled lightly, "Learning? I wouldn’t dare say that. It’ll be more like a mutual exploration and exchange between us, which can also promote collaboration between our regions in Europe and Asia, which would indeed be a delightful thing!"

Soruns’ humble and polite demeanor was something Bai Xiaosheng appreciated.

The two talked for a full half-hour, happily chatting, and then ended the conversation.

After hanging up the phone, Bai Xiaosheng thought for a moment, then got up to find Xiahou Qi.

In Xiahou Qi’s office, Bai Xiaosheng recounted the agreement with Soruns.

"So Soruns invited you? Hmm, he probably communicated with Jiang Kuo in advance, otherwise, he wouldn’t know you have time now." Xiahou Qi smiled at Bai Xiaosheng, "It’s about time you take a look around. When I first took office, I lingered in the European Region for more than a month. I think you can stay here for another two weeks to handle some work, and then you can go."

Seeing Bai Xiaosheng seemingly unwilling to leave the reform here, Xiahou Qi teased, "Don’t be so reluctant to part, at worst, I, the old man, will report to you, the grand president, every day, and that should put you at ease." noveldrama

"That would wear me out." Bai Xiaosheng grinned.

In private, he always insisted on showing respect to the elder in Xiahou Qi’s presence.

Xiahou Qi laughed, "Just take it as a way to relax. You’ve really been too tired these days. Many places in Europe are beautiful, and there are plenty of beauties too."

Xiahou Qi winked, then, realizing his words might not be appropriate, coughed lightly and sat upright, saying with a smile, "Of course, just look, don’t overstep. Otherwise, the elders in the Wei Family will certainly give you a hard time."

Bai Xiaosheng was speechless, he hadn’t mentioned anything about looking at beauties...

Looks like Elder Xia was quite the charmer in his younger days...

"And while you’re at it, if you can negotiate some collaboration with Soruns, it won’t be a wasted trip." Xiahou Qi continued.

Hearing this, Bai Xiaosheng nodded.

Indeed, negotiating collaboration with Soruns is actually one of Bai Xiaosheng’s main purposes for this trip.

The two had shared some positive interactions at headquarters, and if this trip could foster cooperation between the two major regions, it would indeed be a delightful outcome.

Besides, Bai Xiaosheng had other reasons for wanting to visit the European Region — he had quite a few friends there!

Not to mention Kevin from Kelson Company, the Ariel siblings, the legendary bartender Mo Xin’s family is also there. Even a long-known pianist from the band of UE Country, Yegor, is based in Europe, and there’s Antonio, the Spanish winery owner Bai Xiaosheng met at Elder Xia’s friend Zhang Xi’s place, who once gave him a business card, allowing for the chance to savor some fine wine.

With all these people and events, Bai Xiaosheng naturally favored making the European Region the first stop of his visit.

"Moreover, that Soruns is very close with the headquarters’ inspection department, and while I’m not sure of the details, a closer relationship with him would be beneficial." Xiahou Qi said meaningfully, "The inspection department of the headquarters is unlike our business department here. They wield great power, even greater than the business presidents of the six major business units, and they’re quite mysterious, keeping their operations confidential even from the regional presidents!"

Bai Xiaosheng was aware of the mysteries surrounding the inspection department and knew that their personnel were nicknamed the "inspection group," having had some encounters before. He only wondered why their presence was scarce in the Greater China Region, but he figured there must be a reason.

For now, Bai Xiaosheng didn’t want to think much about it and just nodded, "I got it."

"Alright, prepare in the following days, and in two weeks, you should set off." Xiahou Qi smiled at Bai Xiaosheng.

With Xiahou Qi holding the fort here, Bai Xiaosheng felt at ease.

After chatting with Xiahou Qi for a while, Bai Xiaosheng returned to his office and got in touch with some long-uncontacted friends.

Of course, Bai Xiaosheng didn’t mention his promotion. In his view, friends are friends, not an audience for bragging about achievements.

Also, regarding his trip to Europe, Bai Xiaosheng didn’t tell Kevin, the Ariel siblings either.

Firstly, the time still needed confirmation, and secondly, mentioning it later would still be timely, and who knows, it might be a pleasant surprise for them.
