Chapter 547 Who wouldn't like a son-in-law like Xiao Liang?
Yu Yi slept at Liang Fei's house for a night. She had tried to sneak into Liang Fei's bedroom late at night, but she never expected that Mr. Liang would be more cautious this time. He not only locked the door, but also locked the windows.
After returning empty-handed, Yu Yi could only spend a night with Liang Cheng and Liang Jing.
The next morning, Yu Yi was called back by her grandfather to practice martial arts. Liang Fei also had to go to the company to take care of some things. Before leaving, he gave the supplementary card to Liang Cheng and Liang Jing.
"Don't play crazy, report your location at all times. What are your plans for today?"
Being a brother means you have to worry. As long as the two girls are in Minghai, Liang Fei will be responsible for their food, clothing, daily life and life safety. He also asked the company to send a car to follow them. The driver is the father of a very down-to-earth female programmer in the technical support department of Lightyear Technology. This girl also has a good relationship with Li Xingruo.
Liang Fei felt relieved to entrust the safety of Liang Cheng and Liang Jing to such a master.
Liang Cheng was in charge of the supplementary card, and excitedly told Liang Fei about today's schedule: "Didn't we offend Sister Shi Shi and Sister Xiao Xiao when we first came to Minghai? Today, we are going to personally come to their house to apologize. We must appease the two sisters, otherwise we will delay the relationship between my brother and the two sisters, and then our sin will be great."
"Is that so?" Liang Fei nodded, indicating that the little girl finally understood some worldly ways. "But you two take yourselves too seriously. No matter how bad Shi Shi and Wang Xiaoxiao's impression of you is, it will not affect their feelings for me."
Liang Cheng and Liang Jing were devastated. Before this, they always thought they were beautiful girls that were loved by everyone.
Mr. Liang went out.
When arriving at Lightyear Technology, Executive Director Lao Zhang was the first to enter and handed in a proposal regarding alternative brands and models of special cars for company executives.
Since Liang Fei first returned to the company after taking up the position of Senior Executive Vice President of Penguin Technologies, he carried out a thorough purge of all major departments. Even Song Wei, who had followed Liang Fei all the way from the old building, was thrown into Silicon Valley to do white work. The administrative department also had a major reshuffle. Now Lao Zhang has the final say in the department and is no longer a good guy, but he is more respectful to Liang Fei.
Lao Zhang put his hands in front of him and said respectfully, "Boss Liang, I have consulted all levels of management about the special cars arranged for the mid-level department directors and vice presidents this time, and have compiled them into a book. Please make your decision."
"People generally have a favorable impression of German cars, with BMW being the first among them."
Liang Fei picked up the booklet and took a look. He crossed out the BMW option with a pen and said to Lao Zhang, "Domestic cars are indeed not prestigious enough nowadays. The company's top executives also need to look respectable when they go abroad. However, our company is not yet so extravagant. We need to both match our status and reflect the practicality of the special car..."
"Let's choose Volvo. After all, it was acquired by the domestic brand Geely. Although we don't interfere with their operations, at least it's better than pure imports."
Without any suggestions, the administrator, Mr. Zhang, immediately agreed and started to handle the matter.
So far, the company's expenses for senior executives have been increasing. There is really no special way to deal with this. The treatment they deserve must be sufficient. A small company like Lightyear Technology is just a small thing, and the supporting services provided to senior executives by Penguin Technology are really jaw-dropping.
Compared to just equipping senior executives with high-end cars, it is already very simple.
Liang Fei and Nian Zheng have completely become enemies this time, but her intention is good. The elderly are always socializing and entertaining, and have a lot of health problems. Zheng Yu is worried about it, but there is nothing he can do. For a successful person of Nian Zheng's level, his wife, who started from scratch with him, might be able to control him, but Zheng Yu is a latecomer and cannot control him at all. The most he can do is get a little angry and jealous.
But this time Lao Nian is completely ruined. He can no longer just act according to circumstances. Coupled with Liang Fei's recording, the rhythm cannot be washed away even if he jumps into the Yellow River. I dare not say it will last forever, but at least for the time being he has to be an honest person and live a clean life.
Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. If you save your father-in-law's life, your daughter will be mine.
Thinking of this, Liang Fei called Nian Gao to ask about his recent situation: "How is it going? Did Uncle Nian go to Aunt Zheng's parents' home overnight to pick her up yesterday?"
Nian Gao on the other end of the phone laughed very happily: "Yes, he even brought me and Nian Lin with him. I have never seen my father be so easy to talk to in my life. Hey, I really feel guilty."
Liang Fei said proudly, "Gao Gao, let me tell you, everything I do has a deep meaning . You thought I was going to have a drink, but actually I was thinking about my uncle's future health. Why did I hide it from you? Because you love your father dearly, and I'm not that close to Aunt Zheng, so I'm afraid you'll tip off."
Nian Gao pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "How can I be so ignorant?"
After a pause, Nian Gao praised Liang Fei: "But you did a great job on this matter. Dad's physical examination report showed too many indicators that were beyond the standard. He really can't go out for social gatherings and drinks casually anymore. You performed very well!"
Liang Fei pushed the issue further and asked with a smile, "Can you give me a reward?"
Nian Gao said, "What reward do you want?"
Liang Fei said aggrievedly: "Gao Gao hasn't shown me wearing a hip skirt and black stockings for a long time, and I've been itching to do it lately."
"Pervert, you keep tearing my clothes off, stop!"
Gaogao just doesn’t like things being too straightforward, but if you go find her at night, she will definitely have prepared everything that Liang Fei likes.
Alas~
Just after hanging up the phone, Tang Ruijie pushed the door open and said to Liang Fei: "Boss Liang, we can leave now."
"OK."
Liang Fei wore a well-tailored custom suit today, looking elite, the kind of suit he would only wear when attending important occasions.
He is going to attend NIO's board meeting.
NIO's prototype car has rolled off the production line in Germany, and the data in all aspects are very impressive. The next plan is to participate in the new energy electric vehicle competition. If everything goes well and the data of the racing car is as good as it was during the test, winning a few championships will not be a problem.
The start went smoothly and Li Bin was in a very good mood, feeling ready to make great achievements. So he immediately convened a board meeting to announce the good news to the public and demonstrate his ability as the chairman of the board of directors to strategize.
Look, for those who want Liang Fei to lead the company, I’m not doing badly either.
When Liang Fei arrived at NIO's headquarters and entered the conference room, he saw several familiar faces, including chief designer Fu Feng, who had just returned from Germany and was most familiar with vehicle data, and chief financial officer Lin He. The three of them nodded in understanding and took their seats.
Li Bin came in late, and after his secretary pushed the door open, he sat down with a smile on his face and said impatiently: "Dear colleagues, I believe you all know that our first car has rolled off the production line. After all, it will represent our company to participate in international competitions. I can guarantee that it will achieve very dazzling results."
The people in the audience began to applaud, and Liang Fei followed suit, smiling and saying nothing.
Li Bin looked at Liang Fei meaningfully, then said loudly: "Of course, we gathered all of you here today not for such a small matter. After all, we can chat on WeChat. Our CEO Liang can provide the most powerful technical support. No matter how many emojis you send, WeChat will not crash."
It wasn't very funny, but everyone smiled appropriately.
Li Bin continued, "According to the discussion between me and the board of directors, after NIO expands into the domestic market, the issue of vehicles will be of top priority. We currently do not have the ability to manufacture vehicles independently, so with my mediation, we have reached an agreement with JAC to process on our behalf in the future..."
As he spoke, Li Bin looked at Liang Fei: "Boss Liang, what do you think?"
Everyone looked at Liang Fei. Everyone actually knew that Liang Fei currently not only represented himself, but also represented Penguin Technology. According to rumors, for the sake of this prince, Pony Ma even asked Jin Dongqiang to entrust him to become the spokesperson for NIO. By this calculation, the power that Liang Fei can represent is extremely strong.
"I think it's okay." Liang Fei nodded slightly and smiled, "I support Mr. Li's idea and the company's current plan."
Li Bin laughed, and even felt relieved.
"but……"
The atmosphere was originally very harmonious and some people were whispering, but it became quiet again in an instant. Li Bin also restrained his smile and asked, "What do you think, Mr. Liang?"
Liang Fei knocked on the table and looked around. A smile appeared on his handsome face before he became serious. "Based on the company's current R&D level and technical reserve strength, there is indeed no problem in reaching a strategic cooperation with JAC, which already has mature car manufacturing technology. I have also contacted CATL privately, and they are very welcome to co-found battery R&D with us."
"But this is ultimately a temporary solution. If we don't have our own factory and our own workers, then everything is just floating duckweed. Even if we get more venture capital, financing, and go public, we still won't make any money."
"What kind of company is it to build battery swap stations and do online marketing if it doesn't have the necessary things?"
After this speech, everyone fell silent.
Although what he said made sense, Liang Fei's move was tantamount to completely denying the idea of Li Bin and the board of directors, because in their current plans or more long-term plans, there was no possibility of building their own factory.
Since it is available, and the car price is high, that’s enough.
Chief Designer Fu Feng gently put down his pen and looked at Liang Fei: "Boss Liang, I have all the data of the new car here. You can take a look. If NIO wants to have such strength and technology, the investment will be huge, and all shareholders will need to continue to invest regardless of the cost. I think this may be..."
Li Bin interrupted, "That's right, Mr. Liang, I think Mr. Lin has the most say in the company's financial situation."
After hearing this, Lin Shi looked at Liang Fei and said, "Boss Liang, you are acting too hastily."
Liang Fei smiled slightly: "What if I can find a way to get the money?"
This statement shocked everyone.
Liang Fei stood up. Today was the day for him to show his prowess in front of others.
"I am the senior executive vice president of Penguin Technology. On behalf of our board of directors and Mr. Ma, I plan to invest twice the original investment amount in the next two years."
"And I will continue to invest in the same amount as Penguin Technologies."
Li Bin looked at Liang Fei in a daze: "Boss Liang, this is not a joke. We have no doubts about the strength of Penguin Technology, but you?"
"next year."
Liang Fei smiled and said, "Light Year Technology will officially enter the short video market, and is preparing to occupy more than 50% of the short video market share within a year. In addition, I have decided to accept the investment from Penguin Technology, on the premise that they do not participate in any operations."
Offstage, a senior executive of NIO came up to a colleague with whom he had a good relationship and whispered, "Let me tell you, Liang Fei must be Xiao Ma's illegitimate child outside."
“Ahem…”
“If that’s the case!” Chief Financial Officer Lin Shi stood up excitedly. “Then we can build a factory, train skilled workers, and recover funds from the production of new cars. With multiple efforts, we may really be able to build Weilai’s car factory!”
Li Bin narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Shi coldly.
Lin Shi immediately sat down and apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I was too excited."
Chief Designer Fu Feng said, "Boss Li, we do need to invest a lot of money in research and development. If we have Boss Liang's funds, everything will be solved."
Shares are divided into dry shares and technical shares, and the combination of the two is finally calculated as real equity.
Liang Fei has dry shares, and like Fu Feng, he has certain technical shares, but the amount is small and can be ignored. The premise of follow-up investment is to make additional investments according to respective shares, but what if Li Bin cannot come up with the amount required for his shares?
Either transfer the shares to the wealthy Liang Fei, or go public immediately and dilute the equity.
On the market now?
Damn it, I can only drag it here for now.
Li Bin looked at Liang Fei, then at the executives who were ready to make a move. To be honest, no man can refuse to own a vast factory, where there is a magnificent sight of thousands of workers going to and from get off work every day. When you stand on the highest building and look over there, the sense of satisfaction and the feeling of holding great power are what men pursue all their lives.
Industry, industry is the king. A real man should work in industry with real swords and guns, grab real market share, walk on the street, that building is built by you, that car is built by you, this is the true romance of a man.
But Li Bin doesn't think so. He is a man who has achieved financial freedom a long time ago. He founded NIO in order to take his industry to a higher level and increase his life value. At the same time, he is unwilling to give up control of the company.
But today Liang Fei no longer conceals his ambitions, and even announced to the world at NIO's conference that Lightyear Technology will enter the short video field. In other words, what ByteDance and Kuaishou worried about has finally happened.
Liang Fei already has all the mature technologies, and they were rolled out even overnight. Nian Gao, Wang Yi and Shen Ning's Wuyou Media won the honor of the most influential MCN agency on Weibo as early as the beginning of the year, and the number of artists under its banner has exceeded 10,000.
These are all mature bloggers. They are either good at looks, dancing, or technology. Once a short video is online, it will be flooded with hundreds of thousands of contents in an instant, and will explode in the following period.
Once you are the first to gain market share, you will have an endless source of wealth.
Liang Fei stood by the bed, with her hands in her pockets, and looked at Li Bin with a smile: "Mr. Li, everything I do is for the company's consideration. I want to give the children a dream of a blue sky. Maybe if we follow my method, it can be realized earlier."
Li Bin even wanted to question, "Do you really want to sit in my seat?", but he finally held back.
"This is a serious matter and requires long-term consideration."
Li Bin also stood up and said with a smile, "The meeting is adjourned."
