Reborn in the red age

Li Qingfeng was not surprised by Fang Wanzhen's change of attitude. After all, how could health be more important than money?

0.1% of the shares of Lemon Company may not seem like a large number, but for 99% of the people in the world, it is an astronomical figure.

Not to mention the value of the shares after they are sold, the annual dividends alone are not a small sum. As long as the Lemon Company does not collapse, Fang Wanzhen's family can join the wealthy class by relying on dividends.

Looking at Fang Wanzhen's smiling face, Qingfeng Li also smiled. "It won't take ten years. Five years will be enough. I can't just exploit you. Don't worry, I promise you that after five years, I will sign and stamp your retirement application without hesitation, and hold a grand retirement ceremony for you so that everyone in the company will remember your contributions to the company over the years."

"Chairman, I feel much more at ease with your words." After receiving Li Qingfeng's promise, although Fang Wanzhen didn't quite believe it, she still said it with a moved look on her face.

Li Qingfeng smiled and stretched out his hand to He Guangqin who was standing beside him. Soon, a contract that had been prepared in advance was placed in Li Qingfeng's hand.

Handing over the contract, Li Qingfeng said with a smile: "This is the share transfer contract. I have already signed it. Please take a closer look. If there is no problem, sign it. This 0.1% share will officially belong to you."

Fang Wanzhen took the contract handed over by Li Qingfeng and signed her name directly on the place where she was required to sign the contract without even looking at it.

After so many years of getting along, Fang Wanzhen still trusted Li Qingfeng, this generous boss, and never broke her promise on money. She was also sure that Li Qingfeng would not cheat her on such a matter.

Seeing Fang Wanzhen signing the document so quickly, Li Qingfeng couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth into a smile. Now that was good, he had the pension shares that were originally intended for her, and also tricked her into working for him for another five years. Finally, he didn't have to worry about who to find to take her place.

Yes, even if Fang Wanzhen was determined not to delay her retirement today, Li Qingfeng would still give her the 0.1% of the shares.

After all, Fang Wanzhen's contribution to the company over the years is not small. In addition to providing a product, a sum of money, and a development plan, Li Qingfeng built up everything else personally by Fang Wanzhen, the general manager.

After more than ten years of hard work, she helped Qingfeng Li run the company in perfect order. This money was completely what she deserved, and Qingfeng Li would not feel bad even if she gave her more.

After Fang Wanzhen signed the contract, Li Qingfeng, who had not had to worry about company management for the past five years, smiled and said, "It's not easy for me to come to Hong Kong. So, you find a place and notify the executives of our company to have a meal together, and hold a meeting to chat."

"No need to go to so much trouble. A chef from the mainland came to the company restaurant. It is said that his ancestors were in the imperial kitchen of the palace. He is good at cooking palace dishes. Recently, all the company's business receptions are held in the company restaurant." Fang Wanzhen put away her contract carefully and said with a smile.

"this."

When it came to going to the company, Qingfeng Li was a little hesitant. He was really embarrassed to see the little mixed-blood.

This girl has been well behaved for so many years, and has never done anything to let Li Qingfeng down. When Huaxin, such a big company, was promised to be returned to her, it was returned to her.

Ever since Hua Xin returned, she had been avoiding her for two years because of the childbirth issue. Now if Li Qingfeng were to meet her, he really didn't know how to face her.

If I don't give birth, I won't be able to face the little mixed-blood child. If I give birth, I won't be able to face the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month in the future.

Seeing the hesitation on Qingfeng Li's face, Fang Wanzhen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Milani won't ask you to have a baby with her anymore. She adopted a baby girl who was a few months old from the mainland this year and plans to raise the child to adulthood."

"This is not bad. Being a mother painlessly is good, very good." Hearing Fang Wanzhen say this, Li Qingfeng felt a little relieved and said embarrassedly.

Cough
Noticing the strange looks from the two people around him, Qingfeng Li coughed dryly and changed the subject: "In that case, it would be convenient to go to the company cafeteria. Let's go. Let's not stay in this coffee shop. Speaking of which, I haven't been to the headquarters building much since it was built. Let's go to the company now."

Having said that, Qingfeng Li stood up first, picked up his coat and walked out of the coffee shop.

Fang Wanzhen and He Guangqin looked at each other, then quickly stood up and followed.

The cafe is not far from the Lemon Company's headquarters building, and it can be reached in a few steps. The three of them did not drive, but walked slowly towards the headquarters building.

As the three of them walked, Fang Wanzhen introduced the current situation of the headquarters to Li Qingfeng.

"Not including the newly spun-off gaming company, the company currently has a total of 23,500 employees worldwide, with more than 4,700 working at the headquarters."

"The game company led by Simin and Huaxin's R&D center in Hong Kong have more than 1,200 employees working in the headquarters building."

"The total number of people working in the headquarters building is 6,000, which is close to the upper limit of our headquarters' capacity. The utilization rate of various facilities is quite high, especially the conference rooms. There are already signs that they need to be booked in advance. If this continues, it won't be long before the use of conference rooms will have to be subject to a reservation system."

Listening to Fang Wanzhen's introduction, Li Qingfeng felt deeply that the company had developed so rapidly in the past two years.

When the headquarters building was first built, there was still redundant office space, and Fang Wanzhen planned to rent out all the floors below the 30th floor.

It's only been more than two years, and the headquarters has already reached the upper limit of the number of employees it can accommodate.

Standing under the headquarters building, looking at the shining Chinese and English logos of Lemon Company on the roof, Li Qingfeng thought for a moment and said to Fang Wanzhen: "After 97, you go to the Hong Kong government to get a piece of land to build the company's headquarters technology park and our headquarters staff dormitory."

"Ah? We need to build a headquarters? And also build staff dormitories?" Fang Wanzhen couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Of course, Hong Kong is the global headquarters of the company, and this will not change. The current capacity of this headquarters building is 7,000 to 8,000 people. Even if we let the people from the game company and Huaxin leave and only keep the employees of the headquarters, it will definitely not be enough in a few years."

"We have to plan ahead and build a larger headquarters science and technology park with more complete functions. At least a park that can accommodate 40,000 people will be enough. We also need to build staff dormitories. Now that the mainland headquarters have been built, Hong Kong, where the housing problem is more serious than the mainland, will naturally have to keep up."

In a headquarters with 40,000 people, the two people following Li Qingfeng were dumbfounded. Is this chairman crazy? Where can he get so many people to work?
Noticing the two people's strange looks, Li Qingfeng smiled and said, "What's wrong? Are you scared? Don't worry, I'm not crazy. Not to mention other companies under the company, our Lemon Company alone will have at least 200,000 employees worldwide in the future."

The two of them looked at each other, smiled at Qingfeng Li, and reluctantly agreed with a few words.

IBM, the old enemy of Lemon Company, has more than 200,000 employees worldwide. The problem is that IBM is mainly engaged in diversified businesses such as hardware and software, among which hardware is the largest, which is why it has so many employees. Although the personal computer business has declined in the past two years, mainframe computers still dominate the world. The machine released this year was sold out in just three months.

Lemon Company is a software company, and its only hardware business has long been abandoned by the company. It is now struggling to survive in the mainland.

How could it be possible to have more than 200,000 employees just to develop a software?

Looking at the two of them like this, Qingfeng Li knew what they were thinking, but he did not continue to explain. He took the lead and walked towards the company.

Those who have not experienced the subsequent Internet explosion will never be able to imagine how big the Internet companies of the future will be.

Li Qingfeng, who had not been to the headquarters for a long time, made the final trip this time. Naturally, he would not just stay in the office to learn about the situation. Instead, under the leadership of Fang Wanzhen, he went around every department.

For all employees above the manager level, Li Qingfeng would shake hands and talk with them one by one, and even give them a few words of encouragement before they left, which made all the employees in the company feel flattered.

While Qingfeng Li was wandering around the company, someone from the Finance Department sneaked into the restroom and called the little mixed-blood boy to inform him of Qingfeng Li's visit to the company.

When the little mixed-blood settled in Hong Kong, Li Qingfeng personally accompanied the little mixed-blood to buy a luxury house. The little mixed-blood, who is now 36 years old but still graceful, is sitting on the sofa in the living room. Next to her is a one-year-old girl who is crawling on the ground.

After hanging up the phone, the little mixed-blood had a complicated expression on his face, showing both uncontrollable excitement and a hint of anger.

After a long while, she snorted coldly, stood up from the sofa, handed the crawling child on the floor to the nanny, and walked to the bedroom, opened the closet, and began to carefully choose the clothes she would wear later.

After hesitating for a while, the little mixed-blood girl finally chose a lotus pink silk dress. After changing into the clothes, she sat in front of the dressing table and began to carefully put on her makeup in front of the mirror.

After packing everything, he went out, drove his red Ferrari, and headed straight to the Lemon Company headquarters building in Central.

When she arrived at the headquarters building, she did not go up directly, but waited for Li Qingfeng and the others to come out in a nearby coffee shop.

At the dinner table in the company cafeteria, Li Qingfeng began to make big promises to the company's senior executives who were disappointed to learn that Fang Wanzhen would continue to serve as general manager.

He said that as the company's business develops, the independence of the game company is only the first step. In the future, more businesses will be separated out gradually to give capable and ambitious executives the opportunity to take charge.

By then, everyone here will have the opportunity to become the helmsman of the new company, control a piece of the world, and have a bigger stage to display their talents.

When the executives heard this, they pretended to be excited, but they were actually dismissive in their hearts.

Even dogs won't eat the pie you've drawn, yet you claim to be the helmsman and in control of the world. This is really nonsense. Everyone knows what you're thinking.

Never mind whether the business is independent or not. Even if the business is to be independent, it will be your students who will become CEOs, and the rest of us will rot in our current positions.

Of course, there are also many people who are dissatisfied with Li Qingfeng for not providing them with opportunities for advancement. They have already made up their minds to go out and look for the next job tomorrow, and when the opportunity arises, they will jump ship and leave.

With your own abilities, why bother hanging on this tree? You may be able to create a new world in another place.

Li Qingfeng didn't care at all about what these people thought. If they wanted to resign, they could resign. If they wanted to leave, they could leave quickly. Highly skilled geniuses were hard to find, but executives who could manage people were plentiful.

After the seemingly harmonious dinner, Qingfeng Li rejected the second invitation from the company executives and went down to the underground parking lot with the driver arranged by the company, ready to go and see the little mixed-blood and the little girl she adopted.

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, Qingfeng Li saw the mixed-blood girl's flamboyant red Ferrari parked not far away. The mixed-blood girl, still graceful and elegant, leaned against the car body, staring at him straight in the eyes.

After staring at the little mixed-blood for two seconds, Qingfeng Li silently withdrew his gaze, turned around and asked the driver to leave. He then walked forward slowly and said uncomfortably, "Huiying, long time no see."

The little mixed-blood boy still stared at Qingfeng Li, with a faint smile on his face. "It's been a long time. I thought you would pretend not to see me and just walk away."

Cough
Li Qingfeng coughed awkwardly and touched his nose subconsciously. He had only one thought in his mind: Damn it, I really feel guilty and I just can't stand up straight.

Now their identities have been switched, and the little mixed-blood boy wouldn’t dare to mock him like this before.

"No way, as soon as I returned to Hong Kong, I wanted to visit you, but Mr. Fang had something urgent to do, so I had to come to the company." Li Qingfeng smiled awkwardly and lied without hesitation.

The little mixed-blood was so angry that he laughed at these words. Well, well, he tells lies without hesitation. He is worthy of being a cultured person.

Seeing the little mixed-blood laughing out of anger, Qingfeng Li also smiled, looked around the car, and changed the subject, "Where's my daughter? Why didn't you bring my daughter with you?"

"Your daughter is studying in the capital, there's no way your daughter is here," the little mixed-blood boy rolled his eyes and said unhappily.

Li Qingfeng shamelessly patted his chest and said, "The one in the capital is my daughter, and your child is also my daughter. I treat them equally."

"Hmph, the child is so young, how can you just take him out? There is an auntie taking care of him at home." This time the little mixed-blood did not mock him coldly like before, his tone was a little gentler.

The little mixed-blood is also a smart guy. He knows that he can show a little temper and express his dissatisfaction. If he doesn't know the limits, then there will be no future for him.

"Really? Come on, take me to see my daughter. I love my daughter the most."

Noticing the change in the little mixed-blood's attitude, Qingfeng Li heaved a sigh of relief, opened the passenger seat and sat in, urging him to go home quickly. (End of this chapter)
