Chapter 448 A New Era Has Come Quietly
After Xu Ming received Jin Jiaer's call, he rushed from Junhe Law Firm to Lightyear Technology without stopping. However, he was unable to see Liang Fei immediately because Mr. Liang was presiding over a meeting.
"Lawyer Xu, please wait a moment." Tang Ruijie poured a glass of water for Xu Ming.
Xu Ming took the water cup happily. Seeing that Tang Ruijie was cute and adorable with a round face, she was wearing a professional suit, had a slim figure and was full of youthful vitality, he couldn't help but take a few more glances.
But ever since he was warned by Liang Fei last time, Xu Ming no longer dared to casually chat up the female employees at Lightyear Technology. However, he did occasionally log in to Banana Live to take a look, specifically picking out those newcomers whose live broadcast rooms were not very popular but had good looks, and giving them tips .
The amount of the tip is not the most expensive gift, but for a young girl who is just starting out, the first large tip is something they will remember for the rest of their lives, even if they become a popular internet celebrity in the future.
Banana Live now has hundreds of thousands of registered anchors. No matter how wide-ranging Liang Fei's management is, it is impossible for her to manage just any small anchor.
"Thank you, Secretary Tang."
Xu Ming smiled and exchanged a few polite words with Tang Ruijie. He did not go to Liang Fei's office to wait, but moved a chair and sat outside the meeting room, waiting for Liang Fei to finish the meeting. This gesture could be said to be full of sincerity.
Why?
Because Liang Fei entrusted all the legal services required for the company's listing to Jun He, and specifically appointed Xu Ming as the leader, any lawyer with ambition and depth would not miss this extremely rare and precious opportunity.
Although Xu Ming has always been working on thankless cases, and the director of the law firm even joked that he might as well just become a public interest lawyer, as long as there is a suitable opportunity, Xu Ming will naturally be happy to earn more money.
After all, clubs are very expensive. After playing in a high-end business club, who would want to play in anything else?
Oh, I really envy Liang Fei. He definitely doesn't have to worry about expenses. He can open tens of thousands of dollars worth of foreign liquor without blinking an eye. Once this deal is done, Old Xu will also experience what it feels like to spill tens of thousands of dollars worth of foreign liquor on a girl.
Xu Ming, dressed in a suit and tie, was sitting obediently outside the meeting room with a briefcase in his arms. He turned his head and glanced inside. Liang Fei was sitting sideways in the boss chair, with his legs crossed, his hand on his forehead, and his eyes slightly squinted as he watched the PPT playing on the projector. Below him were dozens of middle and senior managers.
"He is only twenty-two years old..." Xu Ming couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.
At the reporting table, a senior executive who had just jumped from Youku was enthusiastically giving his first report speech since joining the company.
"Mr. Liang, all department heads, as you all know, my previous employer was Youku. Youku first adopted the UCG model (user-generated content). The advantage of this model is that users can freely upload content and enrich the website, but the problem is that the quality is uneven. In today's era, this model no longer meets the needs of netizens. Banana Live, which was founded by Mr. Liang, essentially relies on the PCG model to develop content and attract traffic..."
"In the new year, on the eve of the company's IPO, I will also contribute my own strength to make Banana Live bigger and stronger, and make sure it is far ahead of all similar platforms on the market. Now, let me show you the strategic plan for the second half of the year..."
The strategic planning department finished its report and the technical department took the stage.
"As everyone is looking forward to, the Android and IOS mobile versions of Banana Live and Rose Book will be fully launched at the end of this month. According to the instructions of General Manager Liang, the technical department will put in 120,000% of its energy to enter a state of combat readiness to ensure the smooth operation of the mobile versions without any mistakes..."
Today is the general meeting, and representatives of various capitals and independent directors are present. Lightyear Technology currently has only one independent director, and that is Xu Guyong.
Old Xu looked at the people who took turns to go on stage and couldn't help but be amazed. What were they talking about?
Thinking this in his mind, Xu Guyong looked at Liang Fei who was sitting at the head seat again, and saw that he had remained silent and maintained the same sitting posture for nearly half an hour.
"Does this kid understand everything?"
Xu Guyong thought he should be able to understand it, after all, he was the one who pushed everything forward. But why could he understand it all? It was outrageous.
Deputy Director of Finance Zhang Liangyou stood up to speak. People who work in finance always speak concisely. Unlike the marketing planners who speak in grandiose terms and paint a rosy picture for the boss and investors, Zhang Liangyou only said one sentence.
"Mr. Liang, we are running out of money."
As soon as these words came out, Xu Liye immediately looked at Liang Fei: "Boss Liang, Rose Books is now at a great opportunity to expand its market. When I reported to you just now, I emphasized our current market share, so..."
Before Xu Liye could finish his words, Sao Ming also spoke up: "Mr. Liang, everything is going smoothly in Silicon Valley. My team has produced all the products you need, and we can guarantee that with financial support, we can continue to stay at the forefront of the times. Before the short video era arrives, we must be fully prepared. This is our company's major plan for the next ten years!"
"Boss Liang, we can't cut off the funding!"
"Mr. Liang, Rose Books was founded by you. You are the legitimate heir of the company!"
"Mr. Liang, please!"
It is now the autumn of 2013, and what Xiao Ming said is not wrong.
The world is noisy, but Mr. Liang just feels it is annoying.
Liang Fei, who had remained silent the whole time, slowly moved his eyes towards the row of investors. Some of them were present in person, and some sent representatives. For example, it was unlikely that top executives from big names like Sequoia, Hillhouse, and Temasek would be present in person.
Feeling Liang Fei's silent but passionate gaze, Xu Guyong understood his role.
He coughed and tugged at his tie: "Tell me, how much do you want?"
Liang Fei finally smiled for the first time since the meeting and looked at Vice President of Finance Zhang Liangyou.
Zhang Liangyou finally smiled: "Of course the more the better."
This kid might be able to serve as his own CFO!
Xu Guyong currently does not have much other things but cash. The mine in his hometown in the northwest is still a long way from being exhausted. Nowadays, there is a large-scale construction in the country and everything is working in full swing. The amount of ore that Anshan Iron and Steel Group asks Xu's family for every year is an astronomical figure when converted into the market price.
Xu Guyong spread out one hand, then retracted his index finger and thumb: "Then let's count this first."
On the side, the representative of Sequoia immediately frowned and turned his head away, not bothering to pay attention to Xu Guyong. This damn coal boss, if you don’t know, you would think he has a money printing machine at home, and it prints US dollars.
But at this time, as investors, everyone has to express their stance.
The representative of Hillhouse smiled at Liang Fei and said, "Mr. Liang, my boss told me before I came here that we should try our best to meet Mr. Liang's needs. However, you have been spending too much money recently. The financial report at the end of the year will probably not look good. For us investors, well, uh..."
Liang Fei's eyes were so fiery that it seemed like he couldn't continue speaking.
Internet Huo Qubing, what's wrong with spending some money? Do you still want to be the Emperor Wu of Han in the Internet industry?
Liang Fei just didn't say anything, and just looked at the representatives of Hillhouse quietly with a smile.
The representative of Hillhouse sighed and thought, who made the boss like this young man? The quota given to him before he came was so large, and it should be able to satisfy Liang Fei's appetite if it was given out.
"One hundred million."
Liang Fei looked at the representative of Sequoia again.
The representative of Sequoia followed suit and also invested 100 million.
Finally, a representative of the wealthy Temasek stood up and said, "Why are you investment tycoons from the big Eastern country so petty? An outstanding talent like Mr. Liang will surely reach the top of the Internet industry in the future. If you don't give more now, it will be too late to buy him later."
"We follow President Xu!"
He spoke with great force and without the slightest hesitation.
Anyway, Lightyear Technology is about to go public, and once the money is invested, the stock market will quickly respond. As for Liang Fei's golden signboard, investors are particularly interested in him and always feel that there must be a bigger boss behind him to endorse him.
The other row was occupied by the top executives of Lightyear Technology. Looking at these investment representatives who usually had their eyes on the sky, they all lowered their heads and tried not to laugh.
This situation has existed since the establishment of Light Year Technology. Anyway, if Liang Fei wants money, many people will rush to give it to him.
It makes more money than doing foreign trade. Foreign trade is so lucrative. Mr. Liang doesn’t even need to be so lucrative. Money will come just by stretching out his hand.
The rise of the Internet has given the new era an opportunity. The reform and opening up created the first batch of wealthy people in China. These wealthy people have only become rich in just a few decades, and they themselves haven’t even figured out how they became rich, but they are still talking about it on the stage.
These remnants of the old era thought that there were still ships in the New World that could carry them.
Of course there are, but the person at the helm is just a young boy in their eyes.
Xu Ming, who was outside the room, listened to the astronomical figures coming out of the investors' mouths one after another. Liang Fei, who was about to receive a huge sum of money, didn't even blink, but stood up and shook hands with everyone cordially.
"Thank you for your trust. Please say hello to Mr. Zhang for me. I'm so sorry that I made him bleed again. NIO's German project has already started, so Mr. Zhang may have to pay for it again."
Liang Fei repeated the same words to the representatives of Temasek.
Liang Fei certainly knew that they were not investing in themselves, but investing in a new future.
Xu Ming looked at Liang Fei who was surrounded by the crowd, shook his head slightly, and muttered softly: "For a dog man like this, having more women seems... especially natural."
I am speechless. What kind of values are these?
Mr. Liang is a sentimental person.
When Liang Fei walked out of the conference room, Xu Ming immediately followed and said with a flattering smile: "Boss Liang, you've worked hard. Do you want to go to Hetianxia to relax in the evening? I feel sorry for you."
Glancing at Xu Ming, Liang Fei led him into the office, sat down and said, "Did you know that Shi Shi's parents are coming to Minghai soon?"
Xu Ming nodded: "We talked about this a few days ago when we were having dinner. What happened?"
Liang Fei held the back of her head with both hands, looked at Xu Ming with a smile and said, "You know, I've been too busy recently and don't have much time to improve my relationship with Shi Shi. How about this, when the time comes, those of you who have a good relationship with Shi Shi must invite her parents to dinner, and say a few good words for me at the dinner table."
Xu Ming slapped his thigh and said, "This is something that shouldn't be taken for granted. You don't even need to say anything, Mr. Liang."
Liang Fei nodded with satisfaction, thinking to himself, it wasn't you who threw me out of Poetry and Poetry in the first place, right?
Pop.
Liang Fei took out a card from the drawer and slapped it on the table: "This is Hetianxia's SVIP black card. After you show it, except for the girl's tip, you don't have to spend a penny on the rest of the box and drinks. Take it and use it."
At the Hetianxia Club founded by Xu Guyong, if guests spend a little lavishly, they can spend more than 100,000 or even 200,000 yuan a night. Even though Xu Ming is a lawyer from a top law firm, he cannot afford such expenses.
Xu Ming was so excited that he wanted to say something to Liang Fei, but in the end he couldn't say a word: "Boss Liang, what should I do with this? How can I repay you?"
Liang Fei thought for a moment and said, "Sing me a song called Where is the Way?"
Xu Ming: “…”
Outside the office, Tang Ruijie had just sorted out NIO’s recent financial situation and project progress, and was about to get up and knock on the door to report to Liang Fei, when she suddenly heard singing.
"May I ask where the road is? The road is under our feet..."
"May I ask where the road is... The road is under your feet!!!!"
Oh my god, what is this for?
Xu Ming sings well, which must have been learned from practicing with his little sister in the private room of Shang K. He can even sing such difficult high notes. Liang Fei cleaned his ears and was about to listen to Tang Ruijie's report when his cell phone suddenly rang.
"Hello?"
"Hello Mr. Liang~"
Listening to Tang Xi's voice, Liang Fei could always recall the disguised green tea girl jumping around in the nightclub. It was really exciting to think about it. In less than a year, she would graduate from graduate school.
Tang Xi sighed on the phone: "Mr. Liang has been busy with business recently. I have been alone and can't sleep. My desires are insatiable. The first thing I do every morning is to wash the sheets."
Liang Fei panicked: "What's wrong with you? You're still wetting the bed at your age. Have you been to the hospital?"
Tang Xi: "You are so stupid!!"
Liang Fei chuckled: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Oh, I just missed you."
Tang Xi was lying on the bed in the school dormitory with her two long white legs raised up and leaning against the wall. It was said that this could promote blood circulation, prevent varicose veins, and also help slim the legs.
Tang Xi twirled her hair with her fingers and pouted, "I wanted to ask if you have any social events tonight."
"Yes?"
"It's fine if there is one."
"No?"
"If not, today is my mother's birthday."
"Then no." Liang Fei walked to the window with a cup of water and looked outside. "Try to tell me about this kind of thing in advance so that I can prepare gifts in advance. Now, I can only bring a box of milk to your house."
"You can really come!"
Tang Xi got up from the bed excitedly. She had originally called Liang Fei with the attitude of giving it a try, but she didn't expect Liang Fei to really agree.
After hanging up the phone excitedly, Tang Xi hurriedly got out of bed. She got out so quickly that she almost sprained her ankle.
Big Milkshake happily opened the closet to choose clothes, took out her makeup box, turned on the desk lamp, adjusted the angle of the mirror, and began to get ready.
Lin Hui came into the house carrying takeaway food. Seeing Tang Xi like this, she immediately understood: "Auntie's birthday is tonight. Is Liang Fei going too?"
"kindness!"
Tang Xi nodded vigorously, pinching her eyebrow pencil and urging Lin Hui: "Hurry up and take a shower and change your clothes. I have already told my parents to take you with them."
"What time is it now, big sister?"
Lin Hui returned to her seat leisurely, crossed her legs, looked at Tang Xi putting on makeup seriously, and asked, "Did he agree readily?"
Tang Xi nodded: "Very straightforward."
"That's fine." Xu Hui was satisfied. "He's so straightforward and straightforward, which means he has nothing to hide. He really cares about you."
Tang Xi was obviously very happy, and she was humming a song while putting on makeup: "Oh, I told you, we are friends who escaped from the closet together, he must be willing to attend mom's birthday dinner."
Lin Hui asked curiously, "The only thing I haven't asked you is how you performed it that night when you slept in the closet?"
"ah?"
"Well, I'm curious."
"I'm curious. Just find a man to try it out yourself~"
