Chapter 587 Just Because He Is Liang Fei
"Oh, right."
Before Sao Ming left Liang Fei's office, he emphasized one thing: "ByteDance's short video app is expected to be officially launched next month. Its tentative name is Huoshan Short Video. We have one more competitor."
Liang Fei waved his hand and said, "An ant trying to shake a tree or a fool trying to imitate someone else is not worth mentioning."
However, the business world is like a battlefield. You must despise the enemy strategically and take the enemy seriously tactically. Although Liang Fei usurped ByteDance's fortune, their Toutiao and other products are still doing well and they still have a solid foundation. Maybe they will discover other tracks.
People who are able to shine and make a difference should not be underestimated even if they encounter setbacks.
The daily work of a boss is to analyze and make decisions, which are then carried out by the people below. The decisions also go in the general direction. So in reality, for a company of the size of Lightyear Technology, although it is still some distance away from being a truly large enterprise, there are not many things that really need Liang Fei to step in to solve.
To be honest, when everything in the company is on track and there is no crisis, being a boss is really comfortable.
Xu Guyong came to see Liang Fei today. He didn't have any serious business. Old Xu was just tired of playing games and partying every night recently. He wanted to adjust his boring life, so he visited the companies he invested in.
As soon as he entered Liang Fei's office, Xu Guyong took out his phone and started watching Douyin. He crossed his legs and kept swinging his feet. He exclaimed in amazement as he watched, "This is better than Banana Live, it's great."
Every boss is an excellent product manager. Liang Fei sat next to Xu Guyong and asked, "What's so good about it?"
"Time is short, and a video can be watched in a few seconds, so the uploader has to show the best and most essential aspects. The so-called concentration is the essence."
"For example, this..." Xu Guyong showed the short video to Liang Fei, "This ditch is so deep."
Liang Fei: “…”
The current Tik Tok is very pure. The girl who skirted the borderline has not yet joined the battle. It focuses on atmosphere and technical flow. The video quality is very high. The video author in the picture is actually showing his superb camera movement and sense of picture, and he happened to be wearing a low-cut vest.
However, there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. Xu Guyong thinks the ditch is the key point, so it is the key point.
As his most abundant granary, Liang Fei attached great importance to Xu Guyong, and took the opportunity to briefly report on the company's recent operating conditions and the development of Douyin. Old Xu crossed his hands, rubbed his thumbs together, frowned slightly, and listened very seriously.
"In short, everything is fine . Please rest assured, Mr. Xu." Liang Fei concluded.
"Yeah, very good, very good."
Xu Guyong put down his phone, looked at Liang Fei, sighed , and said slowly: "Xiao Liang, I really envy you."
Liang Fei loosened his tie: "Why do you envy me? Until now, the money in your bank card is still an unattainable goal for me."
"Alas, you are still young and don't understand my state of mind." Xu Guyong shook his head and said with some melancholy, "When you reach my age, you will know that too much money is a complete burden. Look at me now. I have no direction in life..."
Xu Guyong was in a melancholy mood, as if he had suffered a great setback. He lowered his head, lit a cigarette, and said slowly, "Sometimes I really fantasize that my life has been a failure. Apart from investing in you, I have accomplished nothing."
"Oh, it would be great if I could be reborn, so I can have something to strive for."
The rich second generation who have no worries about wealth and glory for eight lifetimes, still want to snatch the chance of rebirth from us losers. Do they want to kill us?
Ding Dong~Ding Dong, Ding Dong~
The phone on the sofa rang a few times. Xu Guyong picked it up and handed it to Liang Fei impatiently: "Look for yourself, it's only what time, and it's already started again."
Liang Fei glanced and saw several unread messages in the message list. They were all from Xiaowen, the business manager of Tongquetai Business Club, COCO, the director of Carnival Resources Department, and others. The messages they sent were very similar. They all invited Xu Guyong to come to their place for a few drinks tonight. The beauties were already ready.
"Xiao Liang, don't you have this worry?" Xu Guyong deleted the chat box in annoyance and looked at Liang Fei.
Liang Fei shook her head: "I didn't, I always let my secretary make the arrangements, and usually I don't include these people."
“I learned that.”
Xu Guyong nodded and sighed, "Xiao Liang, I beg you for a favor. Please let me come to work for you. If it doesn't work, find me a job. I can't go on like this. You know, when I got up this morning, I couldn't even remember the name of the person lying next to me..."
Liang Fei was puzzled: "These symptoms have been there for more than a day or two, why did you suddenly realize it now?"
Xu Guyong said sadly: "My eyes are blurry. When I opened my eyes this morning, wow, she looked older than my mom. I knew I was going blind. Before, no matter how thick a woman's makeup was, I could see through her true nature at a glance."
Liang Fei was horrified: "There is such a thing, this is too terrible!"
"That's right!" Xu Guyong slapped his thigh fiercely, "Please save me, brother. My investment company is doing nothing. Find me something to do, please."
Liang Fei felt a little embarrassed, thinking, what else do you have besides money?
Hey wait.
Liang Fei looked at Xu Guyong and said seriously, "Brother, do you want to be a director of NIO?"
"NIO?" Xu Guyong blinked. "That new energy car company you invested in is unreliable. Can a car without gasoline still be called a car? Anyway, I will never buy an electric car. I have never ridden an electric car in my life."
"Then you are not down to earth, brother."
Liang Fei came close to Xu Guyong and said with a smile: "There is a lot of room for development there. Besides, Mr. Li hasn't been doing well recently. He will definitely welcome you to go there."
Xu Guyong knew that Liang Fei wanted to take over NIO, so he was very surprised by his proposal: "Everyone knows that I am your investor. Will Li Bin agree?"
"As the saying goes, there are no eternal friends in the world, only eternal interests." Liang Fei said with emotion, "He will definitely try to divide us."
"impossible."
Xu Guyong waved his hand and said, "Xiao Liang, brother, once I've chosen someone, that person will be with me for the rest of my life... uh, I mean brothers. I've lived and played for more than 30 years, and we, oh and Mr. Zhang, are the happiest when we play together."
Speaking of this, Liang Fei asked, "Didn't Mr. Zhang go to Southeast Asia to have fun? He had more fun there than in China, and there were no restrictions. Didn't he invite you to go with him?"
"I rejected him." Xu Guyong said in a deep voice, "No, no, I'm at the age to start a career now. I'm not like him. He's already the CEO of Penguin. Of course he doesn't pursue me, but I do."
As he spoke, Xu Guyong touched his chin and asked, "So you want me to cause trouble, right?"
Xu Guyong's father was a very powerful figure in the northwest. He had businesses in all the provinces. Although Xu had never done any serious work in his life, he had learned a lot from his father and had a broad vision. He didn't even need to think about some things. He could guess the general idea based on what he had seen and heard from his old man over the years.
"It's not sabotage."
Liang Fei said with a smile: "After all, I still want to take over Weilai. You should get along well with Mr. Li. Then we can work together from inside and outside, and we will have no problem taking over this car company."
“Interesting.”
Xu Guyong immediately became interested: "Is this the legendary business Mission Impossible?"
"Brother, your description is quite accurate." Liang Fei applauded, "As expected of a Northwest tycoon's legitimate son, you speak concisely and without any nonsense."
"Don't brag."
Xu Guyong shook his tie and said, "Sometimes it's not that I'm arrogant, I can judge the situation subconsciously. Maybe it's innate."
I'm out of breath after praising you for a few words.
Looking at Liang Fei, Xu Guyong nodded and smiled: "To be honest, I have told you before that my old man is just like you. He has an almost obsessive obsession with industry. Although he has accepted that the Internet is the general trend, I also know that deep down he still likes the factories with big chimneys and the workers going in and out in groups every day. He likes this kind of scene."
Liang Fei agreed: "Indeed, the older generation would think this is how to run a business."
Liang Fei promised Xu Guyong, "Brother, don't worry. If I take control of NIO and our own modern super factory is built, the scene that the old man has always dreamed of will appear again. Then I will bring him to Minghai to see it."
If the previous words could not make Xu Guyong make a decision, Liang Fei's current promise completely made Xu Guyong determined. Surpassing his father has always been his dream.
Moreover, Xu Guyong, who was born as a coal boss, is aware of safety risks. It is enough for him to enjoy fame and fortune. He will never interfere in business that he is not familiar with. This coincides with Penguin Technology.
It has long been apparent that Old Xu is a man who can accomplish great things. Who says he only knows how to eat, drink and have fun?
Bang!
Xu Guyong slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "It's settled. Let's come up with a practical plan. Either I will contact Li Bin first, or let Li Bin take the initiative to find me. Such a big thing must be discussed in detail. How about this, let's go to Tianxia Club tonight and talk while drinking!"
Liang Fei was stunned for a moment: "Brother, didn't you say you would quit?"
"It's different. This time it's a business event, not for fun."
“…”
Liang Fei quietly stood up, called Tang Ruijie, and instructed: "Find two female college students, pure ones."
Not only Xu Guyong has his own obsession, Liang Fei also has it. He said that he would never look for a woman to accompany him drinking in romantic occasions again, and then he would never look for one again, humph!
Focus on one principle.
Here, Li Bin, who was exhausted, had just returned from Germany and he went straight to Jindong headquarters to find Brother Dong. He couldn't understand why Brother Dong suddenly changed his tone since he used to be very supportive of him and he was also the one who decided to invest in NIO the fastest among many investors.
But unfortunately, Brother Dong went to inspect and investigate the company's logistics system today and was not at the headquarters.
Li Bin had no choice but to find Vice President Jin Dong, who had a good relationship with him, to find out some information, but he never expected that he would be turned away.
Fortunately, the vice president still remembered the old times, and although he didn't say anything particularly useful, he did say something.
"Did you offend someone close to our boss?"
Li Bin was totally confused. It was not his first day as a rookie. He had been in the industry for many years. Who would be crazy enough to offend people close to the investor?
But no matter how much Li Bin asked, the vice president refused to say anything. He hung up the phone in a hurry and specifically asked him not to talk about this brief conversation with anyone else.
Tired Li Bin returned home and smoked in the living room in an irritable manner. NIO's vehicle experiments in Germany were quite good, with good data in all aspects. It has already made some name for itself in the international new energy vehicle circle. Li Bin was in a good mood originally, but he did not expect that a fire broke out in the backyard before he returned home.
Although Pony Ma did not say it explicitly, everyone knows that after Penguin Technology successfully acquired a stake in Liang Fei's Douyin, it meant that Pony Ma personally chose to support Liang Fei.
Now that Brother Dong has begun to waver, how long can he keep his position as president? Should he really take the money and leave?
Thinking of this, Li Bin lowered his head and took a deep puff of his cigarette.
His wife, Wang Yizhi, had just finished practicing yoga at the community gym. When she returned home, she saw her husband smoking in silence. She immediately put down her things and asked with concern, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Li Bin took a deep breath, hugged his wife in his arms, and told her what had happened in the past few days.
"Isn't it possible?"
After listening to this, Wang Yizhi analyzed, "If Mr. Liu had changed his tone, he would have done so long ago. At the Penguin Charity Night, Mr. Ma introduced Mr. Liu to Liang Fei. Mr. Liu is such a righteous man, it is unlikely that he would just switch sides so easily. It is also unlikely that Mr. Ma would force Mr. Liu to make a choice. What went wrong?"
"I can't figure it out either."
Li Bin had already thought about Wang Yizhi's speculations on the flight back to China. He said irritably, "The vice president of Jindong asked me if I had offended someone around Mr. Liu. He said this without any reason. I really don't understand."
After saying that, Li Bin looked at Wang Yizhi and asked, "Could it be that you said something outside?"
"No."
Wang Yizhi immediately felt wronged: "Don't accuse me wrongly. How could I offend someone so easily?"
After a pause, Wang Yizhi suddenly remembered something and looked at Li Bin with a strange expression. She asked hesitantly, "Could it be that Mr. Liu's girlfriend said something that made Mr. Liu change his mind?"
Li Bin was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and asked, "Did you say bad things about Xiao Zhang to your friends again?"
Wang Yizhi quickly denied: "No, I just occasionally, occasionally make a joke."
"Just a joke?"
Li Bin understood immediately and said sarcastically, "I don't know you women. You are just kidding. A young girl is trying to get rich. That's all you can say. There is no such thing as a wall without cracks. There are no secrets in this era. Someone must have leaked it!"
At Shenxikou, Li Bin said angrily, "It's probably someone from your so-called wives' circle. I'm really impressed!"
Wang Yizhi blinked and argued , "Even if it were known, would Mr. Liu abandon you and support Liang Fei just because of a few words from his girlfriend?"
"So simple and casual???" Wang Yizi found it unbelievable.
"That's right, that's right!" Li Bin stood up, paced back and forth, and shouted, "It's so simple and casual, that's not someone else, that's Liang Fei, Liang Fei!!"
"Since his debut, when has he ever failed? When has he ever suffered a loss?!"
Li Bin shouted, "Twenty-four years old, and he's the chairman of Light Year Technology, an Internet company with a valuation of hundreds of billions, which he founded. He's also the senior executive vice president of Penguin Technology. He did it at the age of twenty-three. As long as he wants, he will definitely be the successor to CEO Ma in the future. That's Penguin Technology!"
"You're telling me now, just because he's Liang Fei? That's right, I tell you, it might not be possible for others, but if it's Liang Fei, this alone is enough!!"
