Reborn in the red age

He Guangqin treated Wu Simin to a meal, and she bought all the milk tea in the store.

When the milk tea shop received Wu Simin's call, they first thought someone was teasing them. After Wu Simin's repeated explanations, the other party agreed to deliver the goods.

At that time, the domestic milk tea industry was just starting out, and a cup of milk tea cost five yuan. Currently, milk tea was still considered a luxury item with a relatively high price and limited consumption channels.

The store doesn't have much stock, with sales of only fifty or sixty cups a day, and not many are delivered, only forty cups of milk tea.

After He Guangqin paid the bill, the three of them had one cup each, and the rest was distributed to some female employees of the Lemon Company.

Tasting the pearl milk tea from the 1990s, Li Qingfeng sighed that the milk tea at that time had more ingredients and the milk used was fresh milk, so the taste was full.

He smacked his lips and was just about to ask which store this was so he could take some home for Hu Jiabao to try after get off work when he saw an employee coming to get milk tea out of the corner of his eye.

When Li Qingfeng saw Huang Haimei's figure, his eyes widened. No, why is this woman still here? Shouldn't she get out?
He put down the milk tea in his hand, pulled He Guangqin who was drinking milk tea next to him, and asked in a low voice: "What's going on? Why hasn't Huang Haimei left yet?"

"Originally, I proposed to fire Huang Haimei, but Teacher Zhao pleaded for her, saying that they had talked it all out and there would be no more disputes in the future. She also said that Huang Haimei had made a lot of efforts to join our company." He Guangqin recounted the conversation in the conference room verbatim.

After listening to He Guangqin's story, Li Qingfeng frowned and couldn't help shaking his head. It was not wrong to say that Zhao Xuewu was a bootlicker.

Wu Simin on the side also curled his lips secretly.

Shaking his head and putting the matter behind him, Li Qingfeng turned to look at Wu Simin and said, "Simin, this is what I think. The sales of Counter-Strike are good now. In addition, the company's other games are already very large in scale. If we continue to put them under the company, management will become more and more complicated, and it will not be conducive to the specialized development of each game."

"I am considering setting up a dedicated gaming subsidiary to separate the gaming business. What do you think?"

Wu Simin didn't expect Li Qingfeng to tell her these things. She was stunned for a moment, then asked hesitantly, "So what do you mean?"

"I think you are very suitable to be the president of this game company," Li Qingfeng said with a smile.

Wu Simin was shocked. She knew that Li Qingfeng valued her students and confidants, but she didn't expect him to value them so much.

In addition to the newly released Counter-Strike, the electronic game department has many other games that have a considerable share in the market.

Although the electronic game department is not a big deal in the entire system of Lemon Company, if it is taken out alone, it is a behemoth in the gaming circle at that time.

Once it goes on the market, it will instantly surpass the current dominant player EA and become the world's largest game company.

Wu Simin hesitated for a moment, bit her lip and said, "Teacher, I'm only 31 this year. Although I have accumulated some experience with Mr. Fang over the years, I am really unsure about being in charge of such a large company alone."

"Age has never been a criterion for measuring ability. When I was your age, Lemon Company was already the dominant force in the software industry. It's just a small gaming company, and I believe you can manage it in an orderly manner." Li Qingfeng patted her shoulder gently, his eyes full of trust and encouragement.

"This"

Wu Simin was still hesitating. The burden was too heavy and he couldn't make up his mind for the moment. Li Qingfeng was not in a hurry either. He just waited quietly for his answer.

Neither of them spoke. He Guangqin, who was standing by, was almost going crazy with anxiety. His eyes moved around, looking at Wu Simin who was frowning in thought, and then at Li Qingfeng who was calm and composed.

For someone like Wu Simin to be so valued and trusted by Li Qingfeng and to be directly entrusted with the important task of managing a gaming subsidiary with unlimited future potential, this is an opportunity that many people dream of but cannot get.

If such a good thing happened to He Guangqin, he would not hesitate at all and would agree to it immediately without thinking.

At this moment, He Guangqin's envy of Wu Simin reached its peak. The two were of similar age and rank, both middle-level managers in the company, but now the crossroads of fate was clearly before them.

He is about to become a real senior executive of the company, but according to the current situation, I will have to work in a middle-level position for many years.

He is just over 30 years old, but he is already in charge of such a big company. And judging from this situation, Wu Simin may be able to go one step further and take over Fang Wanzhen's position and become the third-generation leader of Lemon Company before he turns 40.

Becoming the general manager of Lemon Company was something He Guangqin never dared to imagine. He only needed to develop step by step and he could easily reach the height he had always dreamed of.

Alas, same person has different fate.

It's good to have a background. Why don't I have a good teacher like Li Qingfeng?

Seeing that Wu Simin hadn't spoken yet, He Guangqin suppressed his envy and began to perform his duties as a secretary, helping to persuade her: "Wu Gaojing, don't hesitate any longer. Your ability has been witnessed by everyone in the company over the years. You can definitely run the game company successfully."

Wu Simin looked up at He Guangqin, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and finally said slowly: "Teacher, since you trust me so much, I will give it a try, but I hope you can agree to a few conditions for me"

"Tell me about it." Qingfeng Li looked at her with interest.

It was not surprising to Qingfeng Li that Wu Simin agreed. This girl was ambitious and would not give up on such an opportunity.

But he was also curious about what conditions Wu Simin would put forward.

Wu Simin took a deep breath and said seriously: "First of all, I hope that I can have absolute decision-making power in the formation of personnel for the new company. After all, I am responsible for the operation of the company. I need to select those who truly agree with the company's philosophy and have professional skills and innovative thinking in the game field. Whether selecting backbones from within the company or recruiting talents from outside, there should not be too many constraints."

"Okay," Li Qingfeng nodded and agreed without hesitation. "Not only will the Human Rights Headquarters not interfere, the financial power will not interfere either. Your game company has sufficient budget, which is at your disposal. The headquarters will only send a financial assistant to help you manage the accounts and ensure the standardization and transparency of the process, but will never interfere in the specific allocation of funds."

These two are as they should be. The most important things for a company are human rights and financial rights. If there are no human rights, what kind of company is being managed?
Direct students are not like other people. You should delegate power to them when it is time to do so.

Hearing Li Qingfeng's promise, Wu Simin felt relieved, and a hint of gratitude appeared on his face. He continued, "Teacher, thank you for your support."

"In addition, I hope the company can give us enough resources in terms of technology research and development. At present, both software and hardware are changing rapidly in technology. If we want to maintain our competitiveness, we must continue to invest in research and development." "Whether it is hardware equipment, software algorithms, or professional technical talents, the headquarters must strongly support it. In addition, there must be market support. The new company must also share market channels and data resources with Lemon Company."

This was only natural. Qingfeng Li nodded slightly to show his approval and agreed to the request without hesitation.

He Guangqin, standing by, was so envious that his cock was turning purple. Is this the treatment of the direct descendants? Human rights and financial power were all delegated to them without interference, and they also provided strong support in technology and the market.

With such great support, even a dog tied to that position can achieve some results, He Guangqin thought secretly in his heart, but he did not dare to show it on his face, and still maintained the look of listening attentively.

After everything was discussed and confirmed to be without problems, Li Qingfeng gave Wu Simin the authorization documents on the spot. After she returned to the headquarters, she could immediately start setting up the game company.

"By the way, since you are setting up a separate game company, I will not get involved in the bidding. Let your new company prepare for it."

"Okay, but do you have any suggestions on choosing a city?"

"I have several preliminary choices here, namely the capital, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Nanjing. Of course, Hong Kong is also included. It depends on your own ideas which city to choose. I have no opinion."

Wu Simin thought for a while, then silently kicked Xiang out. After thinking for a while, he said, "How about this, I'll contact these cities first, and then decide based on the situation."

"Okay, you make the decision." Li Qingfeng nodded and said no more.

Wu Simin did not rush back to Hong Kong to set up a new company. In the next few days, he traveled around four selected cities in the country and had detailed discussions with local leaders.

After going around, Wu Simin was not satisfied with any of the four cities. After communicating with Li Qingfeng, Wu Simin finally chose Pengcheng, next to Yangcheng, as the location for the championship.

Pengcheng was not on the list of four cities selected by Li Qingfeng, but Wu Simin had his own considerations.

Shenzhen has shown a booming development trend in the fields of science and technology and innovation. It has gathered a large number of young and energetic talents who are passionate about new things, especially emerging industries such as electronic games, and have a very high acceptance and participation.

Moreover, after Wu Simin's communication, the government departments of Pengcheng also provided great support for emerging industries, provided very preferential policies and convenient conditions, and promised Wu Simin that Pengcheng would treat the first Global Esports Championship with the same standards as the Olympics.

In an environment where domestic officials regard electronic game competitions as informal competitions, Pengcheng's positive and serious attitude is particularly rare, and this is also what Wu Simin values ​​most.

Li Qingfeng had no objection to this, it was the same no matter where he was.

What's more, Pengcheng is not bad either. In recent years, the high-tech industry there has grown rapidly, and many companies have emerged that Li Qingfeng believes have great potential.

It is only natural that the country's technological capital hosts e-sports competitions.

When Wu Simin passed through the customs from Pengcheng and returned to Hong Kong, Li Qingfeng and others also boarded the plane to Pengcheng.

The preparations for the lithography plant's listing have been completed, and the stock can be listed for trading at any time. The exchange will be the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in Pengcheng.

Li Qingfeng went there this time just to support the lithography factory that was about to go public.

After all, if the lithography factory, a loss-making enterprise with no funds, wants to cheat the stock market and obtain astronomical amounts of funds, it needs someone to stand up and endorse it.

If one wants to raise the stock price of the lithography factory to the sky, one really needs to rely on Li Qingfeng's prestige and influence in the country; no one else can do it.

This brand of Qingfeng Li is still very popular in the country.

Sitting in the first-class cabin of the plane to Pengcheng, Li Qingfeng casually asked He Guangqin: "What is the name of that new company? It's going to be listed soon, but I don't even know what the company's name is?"

"Um, it's called Huaguo Ziyun Equipment Co., Ltd."

“Who is the chairman of the company?”

"The board of directors is currently being prepared. There is no chairman yet. The legal representative is a former vice president of Huaxin, named Hou Yufan. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the chairman."

After listening to He Guangqin's introduction, Li Qingfeng couldn't help but laugh. This Ziyun Equipment Co., Ltd. is really a makeshift team.

Just before the IPO, the largest shareholder knew the name of the company, and the board of directors had not yet been established.

The company was able to go public only because it benefited from the listing indicators. If the rules are perfected in two years, it will be impossible for the lithography factory to go public.

Li Qingfeng suppressed his smile, coughed lightly, and said, "The company is about to go public, and even the board of directors has not been established yet. What kind of situation is this? We are a company, not a makeshift team. We need to quickly establish the board of directors and the board of supervisors."

"Okay, I'll make a call as soon as I get off the plane and ask them to set up the board of directors and the board of supervisors tonight and elect the chairman as soon as possible." He Guangqin took out a notebook and took notes as he answered.

"Well, remember, this listing must be formalized. Although we are a makeshift team, we cannot let people see that we are a makeshift team. We must give shareholders a formal impression."

After Li Qingfeng finished his rambling, He Guangqin closed the notebook in his hand and asked Li Qingfeng about the connection with the securities firm: "Teacher Li, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange has contacted a securities firm to undertake our business, but considering that we have our own bank, do you think we should undertake this business ourselves?"

"Huh? When did we have a bank?" Li Qingfeng asked in confusion, frowning.

He Guangqin said in surprise, "Ah? It's been there for a long time. Last time you specifically asked for a commercial bank license. Did you forget?"

After careful recollection, Li Qingfeng finally remembered that he had a bank. It seemed that he had bought a piece of land in each major city in the country to build a head office, but he had never opened a business. (End of this chapter)
