Chapter 510 Meeting him may not be a good thing
"Today's financial headlines: Since January 1 this year, Penguin Technology's stock price has increased by more than 25%. As of now, Penguin Technology's market value has exceeded 160 billion US dollars..."
"Through mergers and acquisitions, Penguin Technology has already held over 67% of Banana Live's shares, held by Liang Fei, the former chairman of Lightyear Technology and current senior executive vice president of Penguin Technology. It has also reached an agreement with Huya to integrate live streaming platform resources through mergers and acquisitions, merging its Huya Live and Banana Live. It is estimated that the shareholding ratio will reach a staggering 36%..."
"Since Liang Fei took office as the senior executive vice president of Penguin Technology, this is not the biggest benefit he has brought to Penguin. In the past month or so, the audit and self-correction led by Senior Executive Vice President Liang Fei..."
VIP lounge areas at Minghai International
Liang Fei was holding a newspaper and reading it. The huge LCD TV on the wall was broadcasting the morning news.
"Hello, Mr. Liang."
A beautiful waitress squatted beside Liang Fei in a very standard and elegant posture, and handed her a warm towel with a clip to wipe her face to refresh herself.
Liang Fei put down the newspaper, looked at the beautiful girl, took the towel, nodded, said thank you, wiped his face casually and put the towel back on the plate held by the girl.
The girl smiled and asked, "Boss Liang, would you like breakfast? The company has prepared a sumptuous breakfast for our distinguished guests..."
"No need, go and get busy." Liang Fei waved her hand and picked up the newspaper again.
The girl looked a little disappointed. She stood up and pushed it aside, occasionally looking up at the TV which was still broadcasting the news.
"According to estimates from all parties, after the identity change is completed and the two live streaming platforms are merged, the various investment stocks held by Liang Fei and the product income held by the development and research company far away in Silicon Valley, this young man who is only 23 years old, is worth more than 500 million US dollars..."
Five hundred million US dollars, what on earth does this mean?
The beautiful waitress sighed in her heart, pursed her lips and looked at Liang Fei who was still holding the newspaper. She thought that even though she was only a few meters away from Liang Fei at the moment, in fact, there were thousands of mountains and rivers between her and him, which was a gap that could not be crossed.
Tang Ruijie returned to her seat with two breakfasts, handed a cup of warm soy milk to Liang Fei, and whispered, "Boss Liang, since you became the vice president of Penguin Technology, I clearly feel that your fame is greater than when you were the chairman of Light Year Technology. You can be recognized wherever you go, and there are more girls who are willing to throw themselves into the fire than before."
Liang Fei took a sip of the soy milk, then picked up a fried dough stick and started eating: "Very normal."
"You are getting more and more used to it."
"I'm sorry, I've been used to it since I was a kid. Now that I'm an adult, it doesn't matter anymore. When I was in school, girls would come directly to the class to confess their love."
Tang Ruijie was not convinced and said, "But Mr. Liang, these girls are actually after your looks and money. Not many of them are like Sister Nian Gao, who is only after you as a person."
Liang Fei laughed: "Am I not the embodiment of money and beauty?"
While eating fried dough sticks, Liang Fei looked at Tang Ruijie: "Do you think that only people like me, who take a plane overnight just to see the girl they love, and who don't even sleep and have to go back to Shenzhen to be the vice president before dawn, are worthy of love?"
Tang Ruijie nodded: "Of course, this is a manifestation of love."
"So silly."
Liang Fei rudely lectured Tang Ruijie and gave her an example: "Last year, a partner from Xu Guyong's hometown came to Minghai. Didn't we go to Hetianxia? There was a DJ who had just come to work that day. I have forgotten what he looked like, but Mr. Zheng took a liking to him at first sight and gave him a tip of 50,000 that night."
"How many!?"
"The next day, he gave her another 50,000 yuan." Liang Fei said nonchalantly, "The girl was so scared that she didn't dare to accept the money. Mr. Zheng said directly, "If you go back to Tianjin Port with him, I will give you 5 million yuan a year. How many years are you willing to stay with me?"
Even though she was used to the extravagance and craziness of the rich following Liang Fei, Tang Ruijie was still a little dazed: "Well, then what?"
"Then, the girl followed the boss to Tianjin Port. Now she has a villa and a Ferrari. I heard that she was pregnant at the beginning of the year. The boss bought another villa for the unborn child and gave her shares in a small company."
Liang Fei wiped her hands with a tissue and said, "Roughly speaking, that girl's assets should be tens of millions now."
Tang Ruijie opened her mouth and said, "But, she has no status. Status is very important. Even if she has to eat coarse food, she is, uh..."
I can't even continue.
Tang Ruijie covered her face with her hands in pain: "Boss Liang, is this also considered love?"
"Don't you girls always say that love should be expressed? Doesn't that boss love you enough? The poor boy lived frugally for a month and used the money he saved to take you out for a Western meal, but then he had to eat instant noodles for a month. Xiao Tang, the world is like this. It's not the lack of money that's worrying, but the inequality. The worst thing about everything is comparison."
Glancing at the pretty girl, Liang Fei smiled and said, "My life is indeed very enjoyable. I know that."
A special staff member came over and reminded Liang Fei in a gentle and respectful voice that she could go to board the plane. Liang Fei put down the newspaper and led Tang Ruijie to the VIP channel.
Secretary Xiao Tang was carrying a bag and had no idea that the girl who was still standing there was looking at her with admiration.
Liang Fei walked in front, looked back at Tang Ruijie, and raised a finger: "Believe it or not, the girl just now must be very envious of you. She would think that if she were you, she would have won me over long ago. Such beautiful dreams always appear in the minds of countless people, but so what, it's just a dream after all."
Secretary Xiao Tang said angrily, "Why does she think that? Can I be the object of others' envy? I work so hard every day, just like a social animal. What is there to envy? She even wants to climb up the social ladder. Damn it, why am I so unhappy?"
Liang Fei chuckled, "It's the same old saying. If you're not in this position, who knows what kind of life you're living. She must think you're very happy, but she doesn't know that your work is extremely heavy. Otherwise, why are there so many big bosses' confidantes who are not good-looking, but definitely have outstanding work abilities? What they pursue is a good wife, not a useless flower. If you want to arrange flowers, there are so many wild flowers on the roadside that you can pick them at will."
Da da da…
The crisp sound of high heels sounded behind Liang Fei: "Hello, Mr. Liang."
Liang Fei turned a blind eye and continued walking forward as if she hadn't heard anything at all. Secretary Tang rolled his eyes speechlessly, obviously tired of this job of helping Liang Fei block bad peach blossoms.
Come on, sisters, he is just a 23-year-old boy, but he is the executive vice president of the Internet company with the highest market value in the country, and he is just a little more handsome than the average man. Is it necessary to cling to him like a dog-skin plaster every day? Is it necessary?
As people's horizons rise with their status, Secretary Xiao Tang even forgot that he was so excited that he couldn't sleep the whole night before he followed Liang Fei to take office. It has only been a short time now, but he has completely adapted and become accustomed to his role as secretary to the senior executive vice president of Penguin Technology.
"Excuse me, ma'am..."
Xiao Tang suddenly turned around, stretched out a hand to block the woman, and was about to speak when he suddenly froze, staring blankly at the person in front of him, unable to speak.
Liang Fei continued to walk forward and suddenly couldn't hear Tang Ruijie's next words. Shouldn't she have said that our President Liang doesn't like talking to strangers? What's the follow-up?
"Mr. Liang, Mr. Liang..."
Tang Ruijie caught up with Liang Fei, got close to her and whispered, "So beautiful, my god, so beautiful, mixed-blood, mixed-blood!"
"It's none of my business where she is."
Liang Fei turned his head and glanced behind him. He originally wanted to give a disdainful and arrogant look, but after seeing the face of the woman behind him clearly, he looked back again without ambition.
What's wrong? What's wrong with Mr. Liang looking at the beauty a few more times? I won't give you her contact information.
"Xiao Tang, go add that lady on WeChat. She looks like she really wants to get to know you." Liang Fei pushed Tang Ruijie, "Go quickly."
Tang Ruijie uttered "oh" a few times and was looking for her cell phone in her bag when the lady walked up to her. Her deep but soft facial features showed a beautiful smile. Her originally slightly sharp facial features also made her look a little more cute and adorable because of her round grape eyes.
This mixed blood is just right, blending the advantages of the East and the West almost perfectly.
"Hello, Mr. Liang." The lady's voice was also very pleasant, and she spoke very standard Mandarin. "I am Song Mici from Xinda Assets. Since you don't like English names, I won't introduce myself first. I am the VIP contact person for the assets you entrusted to our company to manage. My original plan today was to go to Shenzhen to report directly to you, but I didn't expect to meet you at the airport. I am very happy to have this fate."
After saying that, Song Mici looked at Liang Fei with a smile.
One of the workplace etiquettes is that the subordinate can only shake hands with the superior when the superior extends his hand first.
Liang Fei did entrust a lot of assets to Xinda for management, and he also knew that he had a dedicated VIP person in charge, but he didn't expect that she was a great beauty, and a mixed-race .
Liang Fei is used to finding out the other party's background before formal communication. Of course, this is for partners and people of equal status. If it is someone who is far inferior to himself, then he just needs to ask directly.
"What is the relationship between your family and Xinda?"
Song Mici smiled and said, "My father is an independent director of Hillhouse Capital. He is a Chinese with a good family background and travels back and forth between China and abroad all year round. He has spent most of his time in China in recent years. My mother came to the United States and worked for JP Morgan Chase before she resigned. I also studied and worked at JP Morgan Chase before returning to China. After returning to China, I joined Xinda Asset Management through my father's introduction. By the way, I am a real Chinese. I was born in China."
"I took the initiative to apply for your service."
If you don’t have some family background, don’t even think about getting into finance or something like that, because you won’t be able to beat them.
Generally speaking, for mixed-race people, the male is from abroad and the female is from China. It sounds unpleasant but it is true. But for Song Mici, it is the opposite. Her mother is an outstanding woman, which only means that her father is even more outstanding.
Liang Fei has a good relationship with Hillhouse Capital. They have invested in both Banana Live and R&D companies in Silicon Valley, and he is also familiar with all the executives.
"Your father is Mr. Song Fei. I remember that I mentioned it to several CEOs of Hillhouse when I was having dinner with them. They said that Mr. Song has a very beautiful daughter."
Liang Fei nodded slightly.
Song Mici was still smiling, and her superior face always attracted the attention of people passing by: "Boss Liang, can we board the plane first? Sit down and talk about work in detail."
Liang Fei yawned and said, "I'm going to catch up on some sleep on the plane. Come to my office if you have anything to talk about. Bye."
After saying that, he led Tang Ruijie away first, leaving Song Mici alone there, with a look of surprise and confusion on her face.
"Mr. Liang..."
Tang Ruijie followed Liang Fei, crouched down and made a '7' with her hands.
Liang Fei asked in confusion: "What does this mean?"
"If you can't control yourself, the number of your female confidantes will reach an astonishing seven. By then, you won't have a rest for a week!" Tang Ruijie said earnestly, "I'm doing this for your own good, so don't be tempted."
"What are you talking about?"
Liang Fei frowned and said, "I discriminate against those vulgar men who fall in love with every girl they meet. What's wrong with me chatting with her? Can't I have a few beautiful female friends whose relationships are pure ? Who made that rule?"
"Well, you'd better think so."
"That's right, Xiao Tang, you really don't understand me at all."
Until the plane landed, Liang Fei was just catching up on his sleep and didn't say a word to Song Mici. He was really tired and really didn't want to talk. No matter how coquettish a man is, he still needs enough sleep to replenish his energy.
“It feels great.”
Liang Fei took off her eye mask, and all the fatigue disappeared. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked out of the terminal. The group's car was already waiting for her.
The driver opened the car door and greeted respectfully: "Mr. Liang, thank you for your hard work."
"It's okay. It's my duty to worry about the group." Liang Fei spoke shamelessly without blushing. After all, he flew back and forth overnight and all the expenses were paid by Penguin Technology.
You still have to say some polite words.
"Mr. Liang!"
Song Mici had just taken out her checked luggage, so she came out a few minutes late. After catching up with Liang Fei, she shook her head to make her bangs look more natural. "May I ask when you are free? I will report the company's asset management plan for you. If there are any shortcomings, you can also point them out and correct them. I will make changes immediately after I go back."
Before getting in the car, Liang Fei asked, "Where do you live?"
Song Mici replied: "I live with my aunt, she lives in Shenzhen."
"Oh, then I'm busy all night. You can make an appointment with Secretary Xiao Tang." After saying that, he got into the car.
Tang Ruijie is a face lover. She likes all pretty girls, let alone a rare mixed-race beauty like Song Mici. She immediately came up to her with a shameless face, holding her cell phone and grinning.
"Beauty, can you add me on WeChat?"
Song Mici tilted her head, agreed with a smile, took out her phone and exchanged WeChat with Tang Ruijie: "Secretary Tang, I can't stay in Shenzhen for long. Please make sure to spare half a day for me to talk to Liang Fei."
"Okay, okay, no problem, absolutely no problem!"
Tang Ruijie sighed and said, "Miss Song, if you want to stay in a hotel, Mr. Liang is free tonight. Oh, no more, no more. If I say too much, people who don't know will think I want to match you two up."
Song Mici still kept smiling and said to Tang Ruijie: "I am also curious about Mr. Liang, but I heard that he is a romantic man and has no fewer girls around him."
Tang Ruijie looked at Song Mici and said with emotion: "Wow, Miss Song, you are really clear-headed. The world is in need of good girls like you. You know that Mr. Liang is a fire pit, and you don't feel anything even if he is excellent. You are awesome!"
"No."
Song Mici still smiled beautifully: "What I mean is, if I have any special , then before that, I will burn all his flowers and plants."
"All of them."
The car window was rolled down, and Liang Fei looked at Song Mici with a smile: "Then you must not like me, please."
Meeting Liang Fei may not be a good thing. Tang Ruijie also thinks Song Mici is too confident. She even expects the girls of Liang Fei to know about her existence and then swarm over to her.
Ah ha, that scene should be very interesting.
Ice Sea Building
After returning to the group, Liang Fei immediately got into work mode. His performance and actions since joining the company have earned him a very appropriate description from the outside world.
"Boss Ma is letting Liang Fei practice with a company with a market value of 100 billion US dollars."
From the current perspective, Liang Fei's attempt is beneficial to Penguin Technology. It cannot be said to have cleared up the problem, but it has suppressed some inappropriate trends within the group.
Office of Little Ma
Mr. Ma, who had been hiding in New York for a while, looked at Liang Fei with a smile: "I heard that the group has vacated a lot of offices recently. You've done a good job. When I signed the contract this month, I saw that the employee salaries were much lower. This can be considered as increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, right?"
In fact, some people have voluntarily resigned one after another, or some have been found to have made mistakes, but compared with the large-scale dismissals before, it seems insignificant.
The monthly salary paid by Penguin Technology alone is an astronomical figure. What can be seen with so few people? What Xiao Ma said is completely an acknowledgement of Liang Fei's recent work achievements.
Liang Fei was now able to talk to Brother Ma in a peaceful manner. She shrugged and said, "If you continue to nod, I can hire more people."
"It's enough to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys once in a while. As long as the purpose is achieved, the operating efficiency of the company's various projects has been significantly improved recently."
Brother Ma looked at Liang Fei and said calmly, "These things are inevitable when a company grows bigger. In order to save money and trouble, we need to use labor outsourcing. Once this loophole is opened, many things can be dealt with. I looked at your work report and found that there are many cases of employees colluding with outsourcing and making money on projects. Do you have a solution to this problem?"
"No."
Liang Fei frankly admitted: "This problem cannot be cured at all. I know that if the water is too clear, there will be no fish. Mr. Ma, you don't need to educate me with this superficial truth."
“Hahahahahaha!”
Brother Xiao Ma laughed heartily and shook his fingers. "Liang Fei is indeed worthy of her reputation. I think you will leave in the near future, which will bring great pressure to me and the group. Every time I think of this, I don't want you to leave."
Liang Fei smiled but said nothing.
"I'm very interested in what . I even sent someone to New York to learn more about it, but the confidentiality was very good, so I didn't get any particularly useful information."
Xiao Ma tapped his fingers on the armrest of the sofa. After a moment's silence, he looked up and said, "Let's put it this way. The group will pay for the follow-up research and development. No matter how it is done, we want to take a stake. You are now the executive vice president of the group, and you should put the interests of the group first."
Let me share a piece of the upcoming short video boom with you?
Liang Fei smiled before she spoke, tilted her head and scratched her hair, then looked at Brother Ma: "Boss Ma, what if I don't want to?"
If you are unwilling, owner of the Ice Sea Building, what tricks will you use to deal with me?
