Reborn in the red age

"Chairman, Chairman, you can't do this to me. I came here when the company was acting as an agent for IBM. I have shed blood for the company. Even if I have no merit, I have worked hard. If you treat me like this, aren't you afraid that it will chill the hearts of all the old employees in the company?"

Sitting in the main seat with an expressionless face, Qingfeng Li did not feel the slightest bit of emotion when he saw the 'monkey' being dragged away by the security guards.

The rest of the company's corrupt executives all lowered their heads, trembling with fear and not daring to watch this scene.

Li Qingfeng took in the expressions of everyone in the conference room. Looking at the scene in front of him, he nodded slightly. Although the trick of killing the chicken to scare the monkey was old-fashioned, it was extremely practical.

After finding the one with the most dishonest hands from the company's prosecutorial department and punishing him severely, the rest of the people became much more obedient. Faced with Li Qingfeng's decision to transfer them to other positions, although they were unwilling, they could only nod and agree honestly, for fear of suffering the same fate as the person who was just dragged out.

After all, retiring in other departments of the company is better than being fired. At least your level remains here, your income has not decreased too much, and your life has not been affected too much.

After clearing out all those old hands who were doing nothing and taking advantage of their seniority to do whatever they wanted in the company from the core team, Li Qingfeng began to make drastic and extraordinary promotions, promoting a large number of young backbones to key positions to inject fresh blood into the company.

Of course, the main targets of this exceptional promotion are the direct student groups headed by Yu Zheng and Liu Guangmin.

After all, Fang Wanzhen only has the last five years left in her term. If she doesn't hurry up and promote her students, then when Fang Wanzhen really retires five years later, these students will still be unable to take over.

Under the leadership of Li Qingfeng, Yu Zheng, Liu Guangmin and others quickly took over key positions and became the company's new generation of senior leaders.

Having just taken over the position, naturally there were many people below who were dissatisfied, thinking that Yu Zheng, Liu Guangmin and others got to their positions through connections. Although they didn't dare to do anything openly, they kept making small moves in secret.

With the support of Li Qingfeng, the resistance of these people was nothing more than a mantis trying to stop a chariot. After the student group dealt with a few people with tough measures, the rest of the people immediately became obedient and began to cooperate with the reforms of Yu Zheng, Liu Guangmin and others.

A month later, the company was completely stabilized and the power transfer was officially completed. The listing time of Ziyun Equipment in the mainland had been determined, and Li Qingfeng needed to go there on the day of the listing to take charge of the overall situation.

After hanging around in Hong Kong for a few more days, the day before the company went public, Li Qingfeng planned to return to Pengcheng to preside over the listing of Ziyun Equipment.

Before leaving, Li Qingfeng called all the students, including Wu Simin who had already become independent, to the conference room for a farewell talk.

"Okay, I won't be in Hong Kong for long, it's time to leave. The company has paved the way for you, now it's up to you."

Qingfeng Li's eyes slowly swept over his students in the conference room, revealing a hint of relief in his eyes. He smiled and encouraged, "You are all my students. I believe in your abilities and potential. However, the development of science and technology is like sailing against the current. If you don't move forward, you will fall behind. You must always be vigilant in your leadership positions, and continue to innovate and forge ahead."

Liu Guangming stood up first, bowed slightly with a firm look and said, "Teacher, rest assured, we will live up to your expectations."

"Okay, I believe you. Simin will stay, and the others can go back to work first."

After everyone left, Qingfeng Li pointed to the chair in front of him and motioned for Wu Simin to sit down.

After personally getting him a glass of water from the water dispenser nearby, he smiled and asked, "The game company has been established for a few months. How is the company doing now?"

"Everything is going well. Taking advantage of your stay in Hong Kong, I also conducted a major internal screening and kicked out all the company's connections and incompetent people. I also transferred a group of CS team members from the capital company. Now, everyone in the game company, I dare not say 100%, but at least 90% of them are people who make a living based on their real abilities." Wu Simin said with some pride when talking about his own company.

"That's fine. The game company will be a new explosion point among all the industries under the company in the next few years. The company's current development momentum is good. You must keep it up."

"I understand, teacher, don't worry, I will definitely do a good job in operating the CS game."

Li Qingfeng nodded. He had great trust in Wu Simin. This was the one among all his students who had truly risen from the bottom. His abilities in all aspects were far beyond those of ordinary people.

After briefly chatting about the current situation of the game company, Li Qingfeng asked about the operation of the CS Global Championship.

Half a year has passed since the release of cs, and currently it is still extremely popular in the market.

The game’s global sales have now exceeded four million, breaking the sales record for a single game within half a year.

Not only did it bring huge profits to the game companies, but Huaxin also made a lot of money, and even the country obtained a large amount of temporarily disposable foreign exchange.

The chain effect brought about by CS made the leaders above pay attention to the gaming field. The senior leaders personally went to Huaxin and Lemon Company’s domestic headquarters for inspection and personally sat in front of the computer to experience the game CS.

After the experience, the leaders spoke highly of the game's gameplay, graphics, and competitiveness.

It was pointed out that the gaming industry is now showing vigorous development potential and is an important force in cultural output and driving technological innovation. Lemon Company was encouraged to continue to delve deeper, continuously improve quality, and produce more good games with international influence.

When Li Qingfeng asked about the operation of the tournament, Wu Simin's lips curled up and he said with great pride, "Players are very interested in the tournament. As far as I know, more than 300 Counter-Strike clubs have been spontaneously formed by players around the world, many of which are professional. They are all here for the prize money of the tournament we will hold next year."

"In addition, due to the popularity of the tournament, many overseas TV stations and related brands have come to us and want to broadcast the entire event next year and insert advertisements. I am now discussing the broadcasting fees and advertising charges with them."

"Taking all the various revenues into account, next year's competition will probably bring our company a net profit of 10 million US dollars."

Li Qingfeng, who was listening carefully to Wu Simin's story, couldn't help but be amazed. No wonder game companies are so keen on the e-sports of games. It can not only increase the life of the game, but also bring in extra income. Anyone who doesn't do this kind of good thing is a fool.

"A net profit of 10 million is indeed a remarkable achievement. This is the first time for an e-sports competition. You must not be perfunctory. You can be bold and innovative and add more interesting content to the competition."

"Teacher, I understand. I have already started preparing some novel competition content. In addition to the traditional team competition, I also plan to add some individual challenge competitions and theme competitions, such as 'Sniper King Competition' and 'Knife King Competition'."

Wu Simin sat up straight and continued with a serious look: "In addition, I plan to increase the training and support for players, create the first generation of e-sports stars, use the personal charm of star players to attract players, and consolidate the popularity of the event."

Looking at Wu Simin who was talking about her ideas, Qingfeng Li couldn't help but nod slightly.

All right, all right. She is indeed a student that I value. With a little more experience, she will be able to take over Fang Wanzhen's position in less than two years. After instructing Wu Simin again, Li Qingfeng left the company with peace of mind.

I arrived at the little mixed-race kid's home and played with Yueyue, who had become quite familiar with me. The next morning, I got up from bed and passed through customs to return to Pengcheng.

This time, it was not only Li Qingfeng and He Guangqin who passed through customs, the little mixed-blood also came to Pengcheng with them.

Li Qingfeng went to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange to preside over the listing of Ziyun Equipment, while Xiao Hunblood went to the trading market in the Lemon Electronics Building to learn about the current situation of electronic accessories in the country and do some market research for his soon-to-be-opened trading company.

He told the little hybrid his address in Pengcheng, and both parties went to their respective destinations.

Li Qingfeng arrived at the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. At this time, the exchange hall was crowded with people, and new and old investors were anxiously waiting for the stock to open at 9:30.

After taking a quick glance at the crowded exchange hall, Li Qingfeng shook his head and, under the guidance of the reception staff, quickly walked into the VIP room specially prepared for the listing of Ziyun Equipment.

The room was already filled with Ziyun Equipment's IPO preparation team, representatives of cooperating securities firms and some investment companies. Everyone had an expression of nervousness and anticipation on their faces.

After all, with an issue price of 50 yuan, for a company with no products and no products, securities firms and investment companies had no idea what to expect.

After doing so much, whether we can succeed or not depends on today.

Seeing Qingfeng Li come in, everyone stood up and greeted Qingfeng Li enthusiastically.

Li Qingfeng nodded slightly to everyone, then came to the listing preparation team and asked about the situation: "What is the current situation?"

"Based on the current situation of the call auction, shareholders are very confident in our Ziyun Equipment's shares. In addition to the huge amount of buy orders arranged by ourselves, external retail investors and institutional investors are also following up very enthusiastically. The share price has risen from the issue price of 50 yuan to 52 yuan, and the momentum is unabated. A large amount of funds are pouring in, and it looks like it is expected to hit a higher price." The staff responsible for monitoring the market reported excitedly, his eyes full of excitement.

After hearing this, Li Qingfeng showed a hint of smile on his face, secretly congratulating himself that his judgment was correct. Investors still trusted him very much. A company with nothing, no technology, and nothing at all could attract such popularity just by his support. The enthusiasm and blindness of the capital market were fully revealed at this moment.

Looking at the constantly jumping stock prices and the increasing pending orders on the screen, Li Qingfeng smiled and said to the people around him: "It seems that everyone has confidence in our Ziyun Equipment. This is a good sign."

The representative of the securities firm nearby also echoed, "Mr. Li, your influence is indeed huge. With such a high issue price, there are still so many people rushing to buy. This is rare in the A-share market."

Qingfeng Li smiled but said nothing.

This is only temporary. It is hard to say whether the stock price can stabilize after the heat passes.

What we need to do now is to make good use of this opportunity and raise enough research and development funds for Ziyun Equipment.

If he had to pay for such a large sum of money all by himself, Li Qingfeng would feel the pain.

After 9:20, everyone in the VIP room smiled as they watched the call auction still full of buy orders without any order cancellations.

It's stable now.

Cheng Feiang, the representative of Haitong Securities who was selling Ziyun Equipment's stock, picked up two glasses of champagne from the table, walked up to Li Qingfeng and said with a smile: "Chairman Li, this is a good start!"

"Why are you in such a hurry? The day isn't over yet. We've just started the game and it's not even halftime yet. Why are you opening the champagne?" Li Qingfeng waved his hand and refused the champagne handed over by the other party.

Although he didn't understand what Qingfeng Li meant, Cheng Feiang didn't dare to ask any more questions and could only put the champagne glass back on the table awkwardly.

At 55:, the stock market officially opened, and the share price of Ziyun Equipment soared like a rocket, quickly breaking through yuan, and continued to rise.

There was a cheer in the exchange hall. Investors rushed in to buy Ziyun Equipment's shares as if they had seen an opportunity to make a fortune.

In the VIP room, Li Qingfeng looked at the rising stock price, but his heart was very calm.

This is just the beginning, it has just increased by 10%. There is no limit on the increase or decrease in price these days, there is no limit on the increase or decrease.

What's more, on the first day of listing, new stocks are prone to irrational increases due to the market's enthusiastic pursuit. Basically, the first-day increase starts from 100% and there is no limit.

Moreover, we are still in the bull market stage of A-shares. The stock market speculation is very crazy. There are many stocks that have risen by more than 500% in a week.

In other words, the issue price was too high, otherwise it would have risen to more than 20% in such a short time.

When the stock price broke through 70 yuan and there were still a lot of buy orders in the market, Li Qingfeng knew that it was stable today. He turned around and told the listing preparation team: "I'm going to take a break. You keep a close eye on the stock price trend and trading volume. If there is any abnormal situation, report to me in time."

"Okay, Mr. Li." The team members responded in unison.

Li Qingfeng rested for a while on the sofa in the small room. Before the lunch break, the share price of Ziyun Equipment rose sharply, breaking through the 80 yuan mark in one fell swoop and reaching the 85 yuan level.

Listening to everyone's congratulations, Qingfeng Li did not dampen everyone's mood and said that he would treat everyone to a good meal at noon.

Everyone knew how to create a good atmosphere, and as soon as Qingfeng Li said he would treat them, they immediately started cheering, making jokes one after another, thanking the chairman for his generosity.

They happily arrived at a nearby high-end restaurant. The atmosphere was lively. Members of the listing preparation team and securities firm representatives raised their glasses and toasted Li Qingfeng, their words full of longing for the future.

After the afternoon market opened, Ziyun Equipment's stock continued to rise as it had in the morning. The already crowded trading hall was even more crowded after the news spread. Investors could be seen everywhere waving banknotes and clamoring to buy Ziyun Equipment's stock. (End of this chapter)
