Chapter 600 No way, a gentleman also needs to be on guard
"Yes, his last name is Xu."
Li Bin was very frank and directly reported Xu Guyong's identity: "Mr. Liang is also very familiar with this person. He is your first investor, Mr. Xu Guyong. After we contacted each other, he expressed his willingness to join NIO and become a co-founder with a huge amount of capital."
The Internet giants present looked at each other in silence. Some raised their wine glasses and took a sip, while others lit a cigarette. In short, they were all in a state of watching the show.
Oh my god, Liang Fei has been stolen by someone.
But this is the same in every industry, just like the technicians in a foot massage parlor competing for customers. Who says this customer is exclusive to you? We all make money from the customer, we all massage the customer's feet, and the customer's bed, uh... it depends on whether you are willing to get on it.
In short, this does not violate any legal principles. The money belongs to Xu Guyong, and he can vote for whoever he wants.
But everyone here started out by raising investment and worked their way up step by step. You know how painful it is to have your investors poached. It’s much more painful than a fucking broken heart.
If you hang around shopping malls more often, you will eventually run into beautiful women who are not very smart. If you expand your social circle, you will always be able to catch a few fish. But investors who are not very smart but have money are even rarer than beautiful women who are nine points.
Everyone looked at Liang Fei with pity, thinking that this kid had finally fallen.
It would be unreasonable for him not to fall. How could anyone live such a smooth life? Not to mention anything else, the fact that Brother Xiao Ma specially set up this game for Liang Fei and prepared to force Li Bin to submit is enough to make people jealous and envious.
You are all the godsons of Penguin Technology. Why should your godfather be so good to you?
Did you really call Xiao Ma Ge godfather in private? Actually, I can call him that too...
Liang Fei's acting skills are far from perfect now, so he can't react like an actor. It is difficult to act out the state of being struck by lightning, having his brain freeze, and feeling sad and miserable after being betrayed, as it requires too many micro-expressions.
So Xiao Liang chose to be furious and helpless.
"Boss Li, you are amazing."
Liang Fei stood up with a smile, but anyone could see that he was suppressing his anger: "Here's a toast to Mr. Li."
Without waiting for Li Bin to pick up the wine glass with a smile, Liang Fei drank it all in one gulp, picked up the napkin on the table to wipe his mouth, threw it hard on the table, and left without any courtesy.
"I'm stuffed."
After saying that, he pushed the door and walked out of the box, shouting at the same time: "Is there a box here? Call a few girls in, all those over 1.7 meters tall, come in, wear black stockings, I mean all!"
Brother Xiao Ma gestured to Zhang Xiaohu who was accompanying him tonight. Brother Xiaohu was also very worried about his good friend Liang Fei, so he immediately stood up and followed him out.
"Well, let's congratulate Mr. Li." Xiao Ma took the initiative to pick up the wine glass and said with a smile, "It seems that Weilai's financial situation will be greatly improved. But then again, I personally think Liang Fei's proposal does have a different response. Mr. Li may adopt it."
Li Bin would naturally not offend Brother Ma, and said respectfully: "That's for sure. Please wait and see, Mr. Ma, Mr. Liu, and all colleagues. Thank you for your concern and support."
In this game, it seems that Li Bin has won a great victory.
Zhang Xiaohu caught up with Liang Fei, grabbed him and complained: "Why are you so upset that you left everyone in the room and ran out? Even if Mr. Ma likes you, you can't be so disrespectful, right?"
As he was speaking, a group of beautiful women wearing cheongsams and silk stockings lined up and walked towards him, led by the business manager.
Zhang Xiaohu glanced at him and said, "Forget it. I'm willing to sacrifice my life to accompany you tonight. Let's go, let's have a couple of drinks first."
Then he pointed at one of the pretty girls and said, "You will sit next to me later."
Liang Fei glanced at the still open door of the box and suddenly shouted angrily, "This is too much, how could Xu Guyong be in cahoots with him behind my back? We have a friendship that has been built on many nights in the nightclubs, how could he betray me!"
"Oh, don't say that, don't say that."
Zhang Xiaohu quickly pushed Liang Fei into the singing box, and after holding him down, he comforted him, "Xiao Liang, you are still young. It's mainly because you have been too smooth in the past few years. You have succeeded in everything you do and have never suffered any losses. Now you know that this is the business battlefield where people are eaten without leaving any bones. You are good brothers fighting side by side one foot, and you are competitors the next foot. It's normal. Relax, relax."
Liang Fei was still not satisfied: "Next time we go out to play, don't call Xu Guyong!"
"this……"
Zhang Xiaohu was a little hesitant. He hadn't been to the Yunsui Club yet. If Liang Fei and Xu Guyong broke up, which side would he stand on?
Never mind, after all, following Liang Fei, there will be countless beautiful women willing to recommend themselves as the main guests for free, and he can also benefit from it. As the saying goes, when riding a bicycle to the bar, you should save where you should and spend where you should. When it comes to having fun, you should spend as little money as possible.
While the girls were changing their clothes, Liang Fei suddenly calmed down, hugged Zhang Xiaohu and whispered, "I'm about to step down as the senior executive vice president . Brother, do you want to find a suitable person to take over the things I'm leaving behind?"
"Huh?"
Zhang Xiaohu understood what Liang Fei said when he saw her suddenly return to normal. He shook his head and said, "Xiao Liang, you know it well. Our CEO Ma likes you so much that he wants to keep you for a few more years. Although the group has invested in Douyin, you know that CEO Ma has never given up the idea of letting you join the group."
"It's okay. I'll make him let me go."
Liang Fei blinked: "And he was very eager to get me out."
"Huh?" Zhang Xiaohu looked at Liang Fei in disbelief. "You should understand the situation. You made such a fuss back then, and directly made a monthly feedback report. Many of the people who were fired by the internal audit did not perform their duties poorly. As for where those people who were directly fired by you went, you know better than me."
Liang Fei was also very direct: "They went to Light Year Technology, so what? Big companies like you have the obligation to supply talents to small companies like us that are in the early stages of entrepreneurship. Besides, they volunteered."
This is quite unethical, but when it comes to business, you won’t make any money if you’re not a bit unethical.
"So, you think our CEO Ma doesn't know about your little tricks, and he didn't say anything, right?" Zhang Xiaohu sighed, "They've gone this far, and tolerated you trying to steal their girlfriend right in front of them. You still want to leave? You're dreaming, unless you're greedy for the group's money, and it's a terrifying amount. In that case, you'll have to go to jail."
"It's not that troublesome."
Liang Fei crossed his legs and said, "A while ago, Ali invited me to go to school, but I didn't agree. You know, the atmosphere inside Ali is a bit fanatical now, and they have a lot of opinions about me. As the senior executive vice president of Penguin Technology, will I swallow my anger?"
Zhang Xiaohu looked at Liang Fei strangely: "What are you going to do? I'm warning you, you are still young, don't do anything that you will regret."
"I won't regret it."
Liang Fei said proudly: "I want to fight with Ali and help the group take over all the big entertainment industries!"
Hearing Liang Fei's grand plan, Zhang Xiaohu opened his mouth slightly. According to Liang Fei's character, it is unlikely that he would take the usual route of competition. It is estimated that the competition between the two largest Internet companies in the country, especially in the field of big entertainment, may cause an earthquake in the entire entertainment industry.
Zhang Xiaohu also didn't think that Liang Fei's behavior would be seen as repaying a kindness with a hateful one. If Liang Fei could really help Penguin Technology take over the entire entertainment industry, it would be of great benefit to Penguin Technology.
"I remember that Ahri hired Fatty Gao."
"A piece of clay chicken and a clay dog, not worth mentioning."
"What are you going to do?"
"The first bird to stick its head out gets shot, so the boss should be targeted first."
Liang Fei really had no way to deal with Fatty Gao. He was an obvious wolf, and there was no need to even throw dirty water on him. All he needed to do was expose some of his remarks and deeds, and he would be done for.
Zhang Xiaohu looked at Liang Fei deeply. He also knew that Liang Fei was very sure that he would not inform on anyone. He had said at the beginning that after he left, he would allow Zhang Xiaohu to place his own people in the area under his jurisdiction before he left.
So Liang Fei is very good at playing adult games.
But the performance still had to be complete. In the next few days, Liang Fei acted very depressed. He often sat alone in the huge office in a daze, and occasionally woke up and shouted: "No, he is sick!"
This matter soon reached Xiao Ma Ge's ears. He and the group president Liu Chiping were drinking tea in the office. He smiled and said, "Young people, it is normal to suffer some setbacks. I hope that after this, Liang Fei can become more mature and take on greater responsibilities in the future."
Liu Chiping smiled and said, "Do you want him to take over after I retire?"
"It would be better this way."
Brother Xiao Ma put down his teacup and asked, "Tell me, how is the entertainment business going recently?"
Liu Chiping pushed up his glasses and said, "So far, Penguin Literature has merged with Shanda Literature, and China Literature Group has been officially established. It will be officially announced at the annual press conference of Interactive Entertainment later. We have already taken over the largest online literature platform in the country. The next step is the video platform. Penguin Pictures will work together to create IP and integrate the market."
Xiao Ma Ge nodded: "Ahri is doing the same thing."
Liu Chiping laughed. "I understand. I'll let Liang Fei handle this. It's a good opportunity to find him an opponent to vent his anger. In Minghai, he has to fight with ByteDance and Kuaishou. Here, he has to fight with Ali. It's enough to keep him busy."
"oh?"
Xiao Ma lowered his head and drank his tea: "Do you really think he gave up on Weilai so easily?"
Seeing Liu Chiping's puzzled look, Xiao Ma Ge smiled without saying anything.
Liang Fei, who was pretending to be sad in the office, was called to Xiao Ma Ge's office. Sure enough, as she expected, the boss gave her this difficult and glorious task.
Brother Xiao Ma smiled and asked, "What is your first step? Mr. Liu and I both want to hear it."
Liang Fei repeated what he had said to Zhang Xiaohu before: "Of course, we should capture the leader first. They invited Fatty Gao with great fanfare, so I will ruin Fatty Gao's reputation. This way, they will lose both the people and the battle. How can they fight against us, Penguin Technology?"
Xiao Ma Ge and Liu Chiping looked at each other and remained silent.
Although, although in the business battlefield, throwing dirty water on each other is a very common tactic, you cannot say these things in front of the highest decision-making level. The top decision-makers of the group have taken the world as their own responsibility, acted openly and honestly, and shouldered the responsibility of revitalizing the industry. How can they do such low-class things?
So the thing called subordinates came into being. What are subordinates used for? To do things that the boss is too lazy to do.
Brother Ma was a little worried that Liang Fei would be too radical, so he said, "Leave some space for us so that we can meet again in the future. When I go to the capital for meetings, I always sit with Mr. Ma. We'll see each other every time. Don't make things too ugly. Let's compete in a positive way, okay?"
"Okay, Mr. Ma!" After saying that, Liang Fei walked out of the chairman's office.
After watching Liang Fei leave, Liu Chiping said to Xiao Ma Ge, "I think he is just trying to fool you."
"Don't I see that?"
Brother Ma laughed and said, "Forget it. What can it cause? It's just a fight over the entertainment industry. It's not a life-and-death struggle. The competition is not as intense as that of mobile payment. No matter how much we fight, it won't really get us excited. There's no need to worry."
Liang Fei returned to the office and immediately called together his subordinates. Li Chengliang, the original vanguard, had already gone to Sichuan and Chongqing and was promoted to the boss of Tianmei Studio Group. The rest of the group were full of fighting passion and asked to fight, willing to serve General Liang.
These were all the die-hard fans who had gone to the Yunsui Club together to have fun, so Liang Fei felt very confident using them.
If they dare to betray me, I will let their 'girlfriends' in the Yunsui Club go and play with other men, the kind that are so intimate, and cheat on them to death.
After making some simple arrangements, Liang Fei set off back to Minghai.
If Xu Guyong chose to join NIO and become a co-founder, and Liang Fei had no reaction, it would be too fake and would likely arouse Li Bin's suspicion.
In fact, if Liang Fei hadn't joined forces with Xiao Ma Ge and Dong Ge to push too hard, Li Bin would have been forced to look for new investors in order to keep his position. If not for this, he wouldn't have been able to win over Xu Guyong so easily.
First of all, Mr. Liang and Xu Guyong had a big quarrel.
Then at night he met Tianxia secretly, hugged his little sister and sang songs, and their feelings were as good as before.
After having a great time, Liang Fei and Xu Guyong walked out of the box arm in arm, laughing happily. They happened to run into another group of people head-on. After all, it was their own place and guests were welcome. Liang Fei and Xu Guyong stopped and made way for this group of guests.
"Hahahaha, little girl, Vivian Chow sang 'My Favorite' really well just now. Very good!"
A handsome middle-aged man took out a thick stack of banknotes from his wallet and stuffed it into the little sister's arms, saying, "Uncle will give you some pocket money. If you sing well, come again."
The little sister smiled sweetly, immediately took the handsome uncle's arm, and pressed his arm with her bulging chest: "Thank you, brother, let's add WeChat~"
"Oh, this..." The handsome uncle took out his mobile phone with reluctance, and his friends beside him cheered.
"Our president is still as charming as ever!"
"When she was young, she was a slaying queen in the dance hall. Now that she's old, she's still charming in the club!"
“Hahahahahaha!!”
Liang Fei also laughed a few times, unable to hold back any more.
Then their eyes met.
Nian Zheng silently put the phone back into his pocket. Liang Fei let go of Xu Guyong, straightened his clothes, and coughed a few times.
Seeing this, Xu Guyong asked with a burp, "What, what, do you know each other?"
"My father-in-law." Liang Fei replied.
"Which father-in-law is yours? There are fathers-in-law everywhere on the street. I know him..." After saying that, Xu Guyong, who was already drunk, staggered forward and was about to shake hands with Nian Zheng.
Liang Fei hurriedly pulled Xu Guyong back and left him to the care of his younger sister behind him. Nian Zheng walked forward with a cold face, and the two spoke in low voices.
"How dare you come to a place like this? Are you worthy of my daughter?"
"Uncle, didn't you promise Aunt Zheng and Nian Gao that you would never drink again? It's only been a few days and you broke your promise. Have you forgotten the young version of Vivian Chow that I painstakingly found for you?"
"You still dare to bring this up, right?"
Nian Zheng asked his friends to leave first, and then pulled Liang Fei aside: "Today we are hosting a banquet for a few good business friends. They have been good friends for decades, which is extraordinary. I have reported it to Nian Gao."
Liang Fei looked up at the ceiling of Hetianxia and asked, "Have you reported in here?"
Nian Zheng: “…”
After being speechless for a moment, Nian Zheng angrily shouted, “Did you come here and tell Nian Gao about this?”
"No."
"Then what are you pulling?"
Liang Fei shrugged: "Uncle, I haven't married Nian Gao yet. Strictly speaking, I haven't even reunited with Nian Gao yet."
Nian Zheng looked at Liang Fei strangely, sized him up, and said, "Don't make excuses for yourself. Are you going to quit society after getting married?"
"Of course." Liang Fei said solemnly, "Uncle, you can go out and ask about my character. In fact, I come out to play not for fun, but to sharpen my heart. Many men die in the land of gentleness. I keep coming to places like this to prevent myself from this kind of situation."
“…”
Seeing that Nian Zheng didn't say anything, Liang Fei took the initiative to suggest: "Uncle, let me take you home. If you are asked, just say that you met him at a dinner party. They are all high-end people. It is normal to meet him at a social gathering. Nian Gao won't suspect anything."
Nian Zheng sneered: "You are so kind just because you have a chance to see Nian Gao in the middle of the night, right?"
"Yes."
"Nian Gao is staying at her mother's house today." Nian Zheng shook off Liang Fei's hand unhappily, "Don't bother me."
Liang Fei followed and suggested: "Then how about this, uncle, I'll take you to Aunt Zheng's house!"
“Get lost!”
Rolls-Royce
Nian Zheng was holding a cigar in his mouth, looking out the window with worry. He glanced helplessly at Liang Fei who was also holding a cigar in his mouth and smoking it seriously. "Xiao Liang, I am actually very conflicted. I have a very complicated attitude towards you, a person who may become my son-in-law."
"In fact, I have always been on guard against you in my heart."
Liang Fei looked at Nian Zheng in surprise: "No way, uncle, you are also on guard against a gentleman?"
"You're a worthless gentleman!"
Nian Zheng scolded, "From the first time I saw you, I knew you were not a good person, but Nian Gao just liked you. Tell me, since your undergraduate studies, you are about to graduate from graduate school. What's going on? Are you going to wait for my daughter to become an old maid?"
"No." Liang Fei waved his hand and said, "The main problem is that you, uncle, don't agree."
Nian Zheng stared at Liang Fei for a moment, then said slowly: "I agree."
Liang Fei: “…”
