Chapter 516 I Learned How to Make Money in Goose City
Lu Teng walked out of the counselor's office, holding two boxes of gifts in his left hand and a leave application in his right hand, and went straight back to the dormitory to pack up the gifts.
While cleaning up, Lu Teng called Liang Fei: "Wash the pot, I'll do it..."
"roll!!"
"Okay!"
Lu Teng hung up the phone and continued to clean up. His cousin was a man with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. He knew him too well.
What is the difference between the club in Shenzhen and the club in Minghai? Teng Teng expressed his anticipation, and then received a call from Liang Fei.
"Don't come, I'm not kidding, I'm very busy, I won't give you money if you come, I'll kill you if you dare."
Lu Teng: "..."
However, Lu Teng still went there. This time he did not go to take advantage of the private room, but to convey his counselor's gift to Liang Fei.
Besides, once you have taken the leave, it will be invalid if you don’t use it.
Next day
Exhausted and dusty, Lu Teng, who had spent the night in a small hotel near the station where even the hot water was intermittent, appeared in the Binghai Building carrying a shoulder bag and two boxes of wild ginseng given by his counselor to Liang Fei.
Looking at the Echeng employees coming in and out, some in suits and ties, some in simple casual attire, all with work badges hanging on their chests, Lu Teng felt extremely envious. These were the elites who could earn their own money and spend it themselves, and also enjoy free drinks and half-price discounts on private rooms at the Yunsui Club.
And I just looked like a poor relative who came from the countryside to live with my promising cousin.
Lu Teng wanted to give Liang Fei a surprise, so he didn't call. Instead, he walked to the front desk and said to the beautiful lady, "Hello, I'm looking for Liang Fei."
The lady at the front desk looked at Lu Teng, who looked like a student, and said with a smile, "Are you here to thank Mr. Liang as well?"
"ah?"
"Isn't it?" The lady at the front desk explained with a smile, "Since the farm went online, many students studying in universities in Shenzhen have heard that their hometown schools are sponsored by the group to provide nutritious meals. Many of them have brought gifts to find Mr. Liang to thank him in person."
"Oh, oh, yes, it's me." Lu Teng nodded hurriedly.
The lady at the front desk looked at Lu Teng and continued with a smile: "Give me the gift and I'll pass it on for you. Look, there are so many here."
After saying that, he turned sideways and showed Liang Fei the gifts piled behind the front desk.
Lu Teng laughed dryly and asked, "Can I go to Mr. Liang in person to thank him?"
The receptionist shook her head: "No, our CEO Liang is very busy. You can't see him without an appointment. Don't worry, I will convey your gratitude."
Lu Teng was not giving up: "I want to kowtow to Mr. Liang, can you also convey this to me?"
The lady at the front desk: “…”
Where did this bastard come from!
Seeing that the front desk lady stopped talking and seemed to be looking for the security personnel in the lobby on the first floor, Lu Teng hurriedly stopped her and revealed his identity: "Okay, I originally wanted to communicate with you in a relatively ordinary identity, but now it seems that it is impossible. I won't pretend anymore. I am Liang Fei's cousin, and I am going to show my cards ."
The two receptionists looked at each other, then looked at Lu Teng at the same time.
"Are you Mr. Liang's cousin?"
"yes!"
"Someone who is related by blood?"
"Of course, cousin, I call Liang Fei's mother aunt, do you think we are related by blood?"
The lady at the front desk looked at Lu Teng carefully again, shook her head, and muttered to herself when she picked up the phone: "Blood ties are really strange, I can't tell they are similar at all, wow..."
Lu Teng: "..."
One on one, come out and challenge me!
Lu Teng, who was squatting in the corner, was still feeling sad because of what the receptionist said. Suddenly, he saw a pair of long white legs appear in front of him. He slowly looked up and saw Tang Ruijie smiling at him.
"Secretary Tang, I finally got to see my family!" Lu Teng almost cried with joy. He held Tang Ruijie's hand tightly and complained in an extremely sad and angry tone, "These city elites look down on me, a country girl. Woo woo woo, I'm so angry. They said I don't look like my cousin!"
After hearing this, Tang Ruijie immediately comforted them, "Oh, it's okay. You two don't look alike anyway. How could you look alike?"
Lu Teng: "..."
I shouldn’t have come if I had known.
"Let's go. President Liang is in the office. He ordered takeout especially for you. Let's eat together." Tang Ruijie led Lu Teng upstairs.
Student Xiao Lu hurriedly put on his bag, carried the wild ginseng in both hands and followed Tang Ruijie. When passing by the front desk, he did not forget to give the receptionist a provocative look.
The two pretty young ladies leaned forward and watched Lu Teng follow Tang Ruijie upstairs, and began to whisper again.
"Wow, he really is Mr. Liang's cousin!"
"Blood ties are so magical, so magical, they can really connect two completely unrelated people."
I followed Tang Ruijie all the way to appreciate the scenery of Goose City. This factory, which represents the highest level of domestic Internet companies, is indeed extraordinary. The entire building has almost become a small ecosystem, with everything you need.
It is said that for the executives of such a large group, an ordinary working meal is extraordinary, with delicacies from land and sea, abalone, lobster, and everything you want. Even the dumplings are stuffed with sea cucumbers.
I wonder what kind of feast my cousin will prepare for me!
Lu Teng was full of anticipation, his heart beating fast. After following Tang Ruijie into the office, he was shocked by the luxurious office environment.
And what Ruteng was looking forward to as the senior executive vice president of Penguin Technologies' high-end working meal was McDonald's.
Liang Fei sat at the desk, holding a document in one hand and a spicy chicken burger in the other, stuffing it into her mouth. She also used her little finger to pick off the salad dressing at the corner of her mouth and glanced at Lu Teng.
"Are you here?"
"Brother..." Lu Teng asked distressedly, "Do you usually eat this?"
"No, you'll only eat this after you come." Liang Fei crossed his legs and said with a smile, "I usually go to a private kitchen near the group for lunch, which costs about two to three thousand yuan per meal. It would be a waste to take you there."
Lu Teng: "..."
Damn, there is really no blood relationship, not at all!
…
The newly launched farm has been a great success. In fact, it follows the path of Ant Forest. However, Ant Forest was launched in 2016. At that time, it had already begun to advocate environmental protection and emphasized the concept that green mountains and clear waters are gold and silver mountains. The effect was also good, and it has indeed made a great contribution to environmental governance.
But planting trees in the desert is not the same thing as delivering meals to children.
Compared to the distant desert, people are more concerned about whether those children whose faces are red from the cold and who are wearing thin clothes in the middle of winter can eat enough and eat well.
As long as the two key words of reading and poverty are linked together, the Chinese people will burst out with the greatest goodwill, which is a kindness rooted in their bones.
Binghai Building, the office area where the QQ Space project team is located
The documentary crew was interviewing the staff, and even many CEO-level executives came to inspect the work in person. This made Lao Zhang, the person in charge of QQ Space, feel like a concubine who had been abandoned in the cold palace for many years and was suddenly called upon by the emperor.
It can be said that he was so happy that he cried and told everyone he knew. Old Zhang could somewhat empathize with Fan Jin's madness when he passed the imperial examination.
"After lying dormant for many years, I finally got the chance!"
Lao Zhang was very grateful to Liang Fei. If it weren't for his sudden idea, he might have become an outstanding talent exported by the group to the society in two years.
The crew's camera came to a programmer's workstation and a voice-over began.
'Since the beginning of the year, under the leadership of Liang Fei, the group's senior executive vice president, the farm that once brought joy and fun to countless users has been restarted. What is different from the past is that the restart of this project will shoulder a great and glorious mission...'
An operator was looking at a computer and accepted an interview: "My job is to connect online and offline, integrate data from all aspects, and formulate a reasonable plan, which will then be implemented by offline staff. I have also been studying nutrition recently..."
The interviewer asked: "So can I understand it this way? What the children will eat tomorrow is decided by your position."
“No, it’s decided by the users. I just implement it based on their ideas.”
The operation explained: "Look here, these are the vegetables that users like to grow the most. We will also adjust according to the taste preferences of each region. Children in places that like spicy food can eat chili peppers, and children in places that like sweet food can eat sugar cane. Yes, we have already started to arrange fruits for after meals."
The camera leaves the work area, takes the elevator upstairs, and arrives at the area where senior executives gather.
Voice-over: "This project to provide delicious meals for children is led by Mr. Liang Fei, the senior executive vice president of the group mentioned at the beginning. The outside world is full of curiosity about this senior executive who is only 23 years old. As the first person in the live broadcast field, what did this talented young man do after joining Penguin Technology? Today, we can take a close look at Vice President Liang Fei's daily work..."
The camera panned past, and Tang Ruijie, who had dressed up specially, stood up and greeted the photography team: "Hello."
After saying that, she smiled sweetly at the camera, which was a bit artificial.
The pretty female reporter from Penguin Video who was in charge of the interview asked softly and politely, "Excuse me, is Mr. Liang free now?"
"Yes, please follow me."
Tang Ruijie led the photography team to the office and knocked on the door gently a few times.
"Please come in." Liang Fei's clear voice came.
Tang Ruijie led the photography crew into the office. Liang Fei stood up and walked towards them. After the photographer found a good camera position, he politely shook hands with the beautiful female reporter.
"Hello, Mr. Liang."
"Hello."
The female reporter was seeing Liang Fei for the first time and felt a little uneasy, but this documentary was told in a light-hearted and humorous way. The female reporter smiled exaggeratedly at the camera and said, "Mr. Liang is so handsome."
After saying that, the camera tactfully took a close-up shot of Liang Fei's face.
The focus was still on the farms that were regaining popularity. As the general manager, Liang Fei said as he walked downstairs: "We will continue to develop and follow up, divide the areas for fun, and we have already experimented with it, and the response has been good."
As he spoke, Liang Fei led the photography team back to the QQ space work area. The person in charge, Lao Zhang, was still busy, but when he saw his benefactor Liang Fei coming, he immediately followed Liang Fei around, and even held the water cup that Liang Fei brought with him in his arms to keep it warm.
This made Liang Fei very unhappy. Originally, it was Tang Ruijie who was holding it. Why was this stinky man holding my water cup so tightly?
It's so annoying and stinky.
"Next, we will expand the farms and build greenhouses and pastures in various places. Then netizens from various provinces will compete to see who grows the most and best vegetables, and who raises the fattest and biggest chickens that can dance..."
"Mr. Liang, the chicken is dancing?"
"Oh, this picture looks so beautiful, doesn't it?"
This operation has indeed received a good response, with netizens from all provinces being very enthusiastic.
"Sichuan and Chongqing must step up and take the lead to grow peppers all over the country!"
"I will work day and night to plant coriander all over the farm, so that the children can eat coriander at every meal and know that life is absolutely incomplete without coriander!"
"The people of Hangzhou really don't have any good dishes to serve, so we can only raise more pigs and let Barbie Buns represent Hangzhou's delicacies!"
"Alasan Haining grows coffee beans so that the children can drink coffee and it is convenient for Xiaowai and Nannan to stay up late to study!"
"Wow, you Sanghiens are so scary, you don't even let the children go!"
"We Guangdong people don't have much to show for it, so let's just give the kids a pot of Hujian people!"
Originally, when Liang Fei was at Lightyear Technology, he started live streaming to help alleviate poverty, and the response from all sides was very good. However, due to the times, live streaming had not yet been fully accepted by the public as a part of daily life, so the response was not particularly great.
But almost everyone with QQ has played Farm, and it is easy to play it now.
During the time when Lightyear Technology was founded, no matter how successful Banana Live was or how Rose Book was trying to seize the e-commerce share from Ma Mouth, Liang Fei's main focus was still on Game World.
But since coming to Penguin Technologies and becoming the senior executive vice president, Xiao Liang sadly discovered that power is something that cannot be underestimated.
In Lightyear Technology, Liang Fei has the final say and plays big, but ultimately due to the size of the company, many things are just small-scale. But it is different in Echeng. People here talk about the industry ecology as soon as they open their mouths and say my rules are the rules. They are basically bandits. If they say they will buy you, they will buy you without any negotiation.
With a check in one hand and a contract in the other, should you sign?
Don’t sign?
Okay, Xiao Ma brother waved his hand, and countless pairs of blood-red Sharingan would light up in the darkness behind him. If you don't want to sign, then forget it. It's just a matter of spending a little more effort to copy it.
Go ahead and file a lawsuit. The legal team under Goose City is no pushover, and Nanshan Pizza Hut is no pushover either. For a multinational group of the size of Penguin Technologies, it is no big deal, but for a rapidly growing small company, a lawsuit can be fatal.
"Hegemony, damn hegemony!" Liang Fei never expected that one day he would become one of the great powers.
Have I finally become the person I once hated the most?
As for the previous internal audit and self-examination, which resulted in the dismissal of more than a hundred people, Liang Fei had a bad reputation within the group. However, he did not receive any substantial benefits, and his relationship with a number of CEOs became strained.
Even Zhang Xiaohu, who used to be a close friend for many years and always said things like "Xiao Liang, you are my best friend", became dissatisfied with Liang Fei after Liang Fei got rid of one of his vice presidents. Liang Fei even invited him to the Yunsui Club for a month, so that this "friendship" could continue.
But then again, if Liang Fei is good at dancing with the sleeves and gets along well with all the forces within the Penguin Group, I guess Brother Ma would be unhappy.
You have no idea what you are asked to do here, right? They offer you an annual salary of hundreds of millions just to let you make friends?
In short, Liang Fei now has both a bad reputation and a good reputation, and his voice within the group has gradually increased. It seems that his life is starting to get back on track.
But if this continues, then the position of the CEO will become more and more secure!
This anxiety lasted for a long time. Just when Liang Fei was distressed, Tang Ruijie suddenly came to report good news.
"Mr. Liang, the farm has started collecting money!!"
Liang Fei almost spit out the water before he could even swallow it: "What the hell?"
"Show it to you!"
Tang Ruijie held her tablet computer and handed it to Liang Fei: "Look, we have newly launched herbicides and nutrient solution. You can harvest vegetables in one day instead of a week by feeding them a bag. And you can also feed chickens with this You Tai Mei Fan. You can feed them a bag and the chicks can be ready in three days. There are so many ways to do it, Mr. Liang!"
Liang Fei looked at the dazzling array of virtual malls and grinned.
Penguins are penguins after all, dogs... geese can't stop eating shit.
Liang Fei placed the tablet on the table with her backhand and looked at Tang Ruijie: "How come I don't know about this?"
Tang Ruijie shrugged and replied, "I heard that it was Mr. Ren who gave the order directly to Mr. Zhang, the person in charge of QQ Space, bypassing you. After all, to put it bluntly, this project is still under the business group that Mr. Ren is in charge of."
Liang Fei narrowed her eyes slightly.
Tang Ruijie looked at Liang Fei with some concern: "Boss Liang, you are not going to argue with Boss Ren, are you? Although this matter is indeed strange, it was originally a good deed, but it started to cut the leeks of users, but it also makes sense as a business behavior."
Secretary Xiao Tang wanted to comfort Liang Fei and tell his boss not to overreact. After all, it would be absolutely impossible for a project that he had personally supported to be changed beyond recognition without Liang Fei's consent in Light Years Technology.
But in Echeng, Liang Fei is just an executive director. Not to mention Brother Xiao Ma and Mr. Liu, he actually has no specific business to be in charge of. Of course, he has to bow his head when he is under someone else's eaves.
"Boss Liang?" Seeing that Liang Fei didn't speak, Tang Ruijie was a little panicked. "Why don't you go to the club tonight to relieve your sexual desire? Don't hold it in. I absolutely ask you to keep it a secret. One sister is not enough, so two..."
"Hahahahahahaha!" Liang Fei suddenly burst into laughter.
Tang Ruijie looked at Liang Fei's ecstatic expression, grinned dryly, and thought to herself that you are getting excited when talking about this.
"I was afraid they might really change their temper this time and really not touch this piece of cake!"
Liang Fei excitedly stood up from his seat, put his hands on his hips and paced back and forth, and smiled at Tang Ruijie: "Now roughly calculate the number of effective users, 10 million, 20 million, or 30 million?"
"With such a large scale, it would be strange if they didn't want to make money. Not to mention Penguin Technology, any other Internet company would be unable to resist making money."
Tang Ruijie was confused: "Mr. Liang, do you think this is the right thing to do?"
"No, I must strongly condemn this behavior and report it to Xiao Ma Ge. It would be best if those self-media outlets outside could write about it!"
Liang Fei snorted coldly: "I will never go along with the corrupt people. I want everyone to know that I, Xiao Liang, am the last conscience in the Internet age!"
