Chapter 224: Competition for Successor Selection

As the successor training plan progresses, the selection competition stage finally arrives. The younger generation of the family knows that this is a critical moment that determines the future, and they are all gearing up to stand out in this fierce competition.

Ruan Ming has always been known for his calmness and has shown maturity beyond his age when handling various tasks. In a negotiation with an important supplier, the other party suddenly put forward harsh conditions and tried to lower the price. Ruan Ming was not intimidated by the other party's momentum. He calmly analyzed the market situation and the interests of both parties and argued for his reasons. Through clear logic and a firm attitude, he finally successfully persuaded the supplier to maintain the original cooperation conditions and even won some additional discounts. However, in an internal team conflict in the company, Ruan Ming failed to fully consider the feelings of employees due to his overly direct expression, which led to further intensification of the conflict, which also exposed his shortcomings in handling interpersonal relationships.

Ruan Ting is full of energy and innovative thinking, and is particularly outstanding in the research and development and promotion of new products. She keenly captured the emerging needs of the market and proposed a very forward-looking product concept. During the promotion process, she boldly used social media and Internet celebrities to create a series of hot topics, making the new product quickly become the focus of the market and sales soaring. However, in her excitement, she did not strictly control the cost and invested too much in marketing activities, resulting in serious budget overruns for some projects, which brought considerable pressure to the finance department.

Lin Hao has demonstrated unique affinity and organizational skills in team management. In a cross-departmental project, the project progress was once in chaos due to the involvement of multiple complex links and members with different personalities. Lin Hao patiently listened to the opinions of each member, coordinated resources from all parties, and reasonably allocated tasks, ultimately allowing the project to proceed smoothly. The team he led had a harmonious atmosphere, and the members were full of trust and respect for him. However, when the project faced a critical decision point and needed to make a choice in a short period of time, Lin Hao fell into a long period of hesitation. He was worried about making mistakes and repeatedly weighed various possibilities, which led to missing the best opportunity and affecting the progress of the project to a certain extent.

Weighing the pros and cons

Ruan Jianan and Lin Yanan closely followed the performance of each candidate, and their desks were piled with detailed evaluation reports and data analysis. Every night, they would sit in the study room and discuss and think seriously.

"Jian'an, Ruan Ming's business ability is indeed outstanding, especially when dealing with complex business negotiations. But he still needs more training in handling interpersonal relationships, which may affect his leadership within the company." Lin Yanan frowned and tapped the table lightly with his fingers.

Ruan Jianan nodded and said seriously, "Yes, Ruan Ming needs to learn to communicate with people more flexibly. As for Ruan Ting, her innovation ability and market acumen are eye-catching and can bring new vitality and opportunities to the company. But her negligence in cost control and risk assessment is also a big problem. If she takes over, it may bring certain risks to the company's finances."

Lin Yanan went on to say, “Lin Hao does a good job in team management, rallying people and improving work efficiency. However, his indecision when facing major decisions may cause the company to miss opportunities in the fiercely competitive market.”

They fell into a long silence, weighing the advantages and disadvantages of each candidate over and over again in their minds.

"Judging from the company's current situation, we are in a stage that requires innovation and breakthroughs. Ruan Ting's innovative spirit may bring new development opportunities to the company." Ruan Jianan broke the silence and put forward his own views.

"But innovation is often accompanied by high risks. Ruan Ting's impulsiveness and disregard for costs may put the company in trouble. In contrast, Ruan Ming's calmness may be able to better control the situation and ensure the company's stable development." Lin Yanan put forward a different point of view.

The two of them fell into a heated discussion again. From the candidates' personality traits and professional abilities to the company's future development strategies and changes in the market environment, every factor was considered repeatedly.

After countless discussions and inner struggles, they still found it difficult to make a final decision. Therefore, Ruan Jianan and Lin Yanan decided to assign more challenging tasks to the candidates to further observe their performance and coping strategies under extreme pressure.

During this process, a heated discussion also broke out within the family. The elders had their own opinions and supporters. Some believed that Ruan Ming's stability and reliability would guarantee the company's future, some believed that Ruan Ting's innovative vitality could lead the company to open up new markets, and some believed that Lin Hao's team management ability was the cornerstone of the company's sustainable development. The various voices intertwined together, making Ruan Jianan and Lin Yanan feel unprecedented pressure.

But they are well aware that the choice of a successor is related to the rise and fall, honor and disgrace of the family business, and they must put aside all interference and make a wise choice that is most conducive to the long-term development of the company.
