#318 - Avenger Fan Langtao is valued by President Pei, Wu Liang visits Taoyuan Township and is shown
Pei Shengnan first saw the name "Fan Langtao" on the resume, and then noticed that this person was currently working in the VR Development Division of Longteng Group, holding the position of P9 level product manager.
Like many large technology companies, Longteng Group divides job levels based on the ability and experience of its employees.
P9 level is already a relatively high level, with an average annual salary of over 800,000.
The secretary explained:
"President Pei, this Fan Langtao used to be a management trainee at the Shenzhen headquarters of the Liu Group, and then was transferred to Youyi Company in Jianghai City as the manager of the game platform department, working under Shi Yi for a period of time.
After that, he was transferred back to the Shenzhen headquarters due to some matters, and finally jumped to our group."
Pei Shengnan looked back and forth at the resume:
"There's nothing special about this person's resume. There are many young people like this within our group. Why would you recommend him?"
The secretary whispered:
"Some experiences are not written in the resume.
This Fan Langtao and Lu Yu are classmates at Jianghai University.
It is said that they participated in the game research club at the university together for more than two years.
Such a person must have a considerable understanding of Lu Yu's personality and behavior style, making it easier to formulate various strategies against Peach Garden Village."
Pei Shengnan suddenly understood and nodded:
"Being able to work at Longteng Group and reach P9 level, his ability should be no problem. Let's first use him as the producer of the new game project. Tell him that Longteng Group has always been fair in rewards and punishments.
If this battle is won, not only will the salary be doubled, but stock options can also be discussed, but if it is lost, then he can pack up and leave!"
...
Longteng Group's Jianghai City office building, first floor reception room.
Fan Langtao was sitting anxiously in the waiting room.
He was wearing a well-tailored suit, his skin was pale, and the look in his eyes behind the black-rimmed glasses was deep and dark.
The gentle and refined temperament revealed a different kind of coldness and insidiousness.
After a while, Pei Shengnan's secretary opened the door.
Fan Langtao quickly changed his expression, smiling warmly:
"Secretary Zhao, how is it?"
The secretary breathed a sigh of relief and gave him an OK gesture.
The stone in Fan Langtao's heart finally landed, and he said happily: "I will go back to Shenzhen to handle the transfer to Jianghai City!"
Secretary Zhao smiled meaningfully:
"Little Fan, President Pei values you very much, promising you the treatment and equity after the success. You must work hard.
Of course, I see that you are a young man and it's not easy, so I also said a lot of good things about you in front of President Pei.
Especially, I didn't tell President Pei that you left Liu Group because you were defeated miserably in the game platform battle with Peach Garden Village, and were thus persuaded to leave.
You... don't let me down."
A strange light flashed in Secretary Zhao's eyes.
This was both an invitation for credit and a threat.
Fan Langtao understood and operated his phone for a while.
Soon, Secretary Zhao's phone received a text message that 600,000 had been credited to the bank card.
"Secretary Zhao, I have just transferred the other half of the reward I promised you."
A flash of greed flashed in Secretary Zhao's eyes, but it disappeared quickly. He turned and left, leaving a sentence:
"Remember, we didn't meet today.
Also, if you want the personnel department to remove your previous dismissal record from the file, you will have to spend an extra 300,000 to operate it.
Think about your future career, I think this 300,000 is worth it."
Fan Langtao nodded:
"I will find a way to raise it within a week."
After the secretary left, Fan Langtao sat back in the chair and drank several mouthfuls of water to calm his excited mood.
In order to persuade Secretary Zhao and gain President Pei's favor, Fan Langtao smashed all the savings he had accumulated since graduating from university, and even owed some money.
However, he felt that the money was well spent. You can't catch a wolf without letting the child go!
If this battle with Peach Garden Village's next-generation flagship is a complete victory, then he will have already left an impression on President Pei and become President Pei's right-hand man, and he will have endless wealth for the rest of his life!
In fact, if Fan Langtao was content to stay at the Shenzhen headquarters and work as his product manager, there would be no problem in living a life of abundance in the future.
But he was not convinced!
He was not willing to lose to Lu Yu like this!
From the university era, in the game research club, Fan Langtao and Lu Yu were the most shining two people.
Every time they participated in club activities, they were also the most noticed by the girls.
The president of the club was completely a closed-off otaku. Fan Langtao believed that as the vice president, he was superior to Lu Yu in many aspects and should have the priority of choosing a partner in the club.
However, he never expected that Lu Yu would act quickly and accurately, and directly got together with Liu Mengyuan, the white moonlight in the hearts of many boys.
In university, junior Liu was ignorant, Fan Langtao could understand.
But he didn't expect that Lu Yu would start a business with junior Liu, adapting the award-winning "Cat's Way" into "Catgirl Paradise Adventure", and it became a hit, and they even lived together!
Heh, what a romantic story...
The last time he left Jianghai City by car, he even saw these two people acting intimately like a young couple.
He almost shattered his molars at that time!
Why Lu Yu?
Yes, Fan Langtao admitted that he was a loser. Because of his fear and awe of the wealthy class, he had never dared to pursue junior Liu in his life.
However, although he didn't have the ability to change himself from being a loser, he could spare no expense to beat Lu Yu back to being a loser!
He didn't mind his brothers living a hard life, he was just afraid that his brothers would drive a Land Rover.
If I can't get it, you, Lu Yu, don't even think about getting it!
...
Peach Garden Village Villa.
Lu Yu stretched his waist and checked the system light screen listlessly:
In the last cycle, from January to April 2013, the company added 3 new games,
Among them, "Bizarre Country Simulator" had a total sales of 6.3 million.
"A Night of Security" had a total sales of 7.1 million.
"My Wife is a Savior" had a total sales of 22.3 million.
In addition to the company's stable operation of old games and other businesses,
Therefore, although in the previous cycle, Lu Yu used the cost price to sell VR equipment, trying to curb the speed of business turnover,
The sales of the games still left the company with a cumulative net profit of 870 million yuan!
Looking at this nearly 900 million yuan, Lu Yu scratched his head.
I can't spend it all, I can't spend it all!
There are currently 300 employees. It's time to distribute another wave of employee benefits!
He called Li Hongmei to him.
"Distribute another wave of project dividends to all employees, 500,000 per person."
Li Hongmei was dumbfounded: "President Lu, didn't we just distribute dividends during the New Year?"
Lu Yu smiled: "The distribution of dividends doesn't necessarily have to have a deadline. Our company is more flexible than other companies. We can distribute it whenever we want."
Li Hongmei was already used to Lu Yu's style, so she didn't refute it.
Anyway, as an employee, she would be happy to get more money.
Lu Yu thought for a while and stopped Li Hongmei again:
"Are there any areas that need to be improved in the company's other benefits?"
Li Hongmei thought for a while:
"Indeed, recently our company's various business lines have been developing rapidly, and we are dealing with the outside world more and more frequently,
So the attire of many of our business, product managers, and even producers is seriously outdated.
For example, when Teacher Mao Wuyong went to participate in the Jianghai City TV program recording before, he was still wearing a crumpled old suit..."
When Lu Yu heard this, he suddenly became serious:
"How can this be?!"
Fortunately, Mao Wuyong is a calm person, otherwise, if he was a little bit glass-hearted because of this, how many points would I have to lose?!
Lu Yu: "The company's salaries and bonuses are paid on time, why don't they buy some attire for themselves?"
Li Hongmei: "Probably many people want to save money to buy a house and get married, or send it back to their hometown, and some people don't care about external image at all."
Lu Yu scratched his head:
"Order it, the company will add another 500,000 reimbursement quota for each person, specializing in adding suits, fashion, jewelry, watches and other accessories for everyone, especially those in the business department responsible for external reception, they must pull up the brand.
Oh, and also, buy some business vehicles through the company's public account for emergencies."
A few days after the instructions were given, Lu Yu checked the system light screen:
[Peach Garden Village's 300 employees are in a happy mood because of the project dividend, gaining 18,000 leisure points]
[Peach Garden Village's 300 employees are in a happy mood because of the new reimbursement benefits, gaining 13,000 leisure points]
Lu Yu was very happy.
Very good, with a little operation, the points are in the account!
In this cycle, no one can stop me from exploding the points of this group of little workaholics!
I want them to compensate me fiercely!
...
Next Monday.
A business convoy slowly drove into the main road in front of the Peach Garden Village villa.
This convoy consisted of eight Audi A6Ls,
At the front was a Porsche Panamera executive extended version.
This convoy was led by Wu Liang, who came to discuss cooperation with Peach Garden Village.
Wu Liang was wearing a neat high-end suit, sitting in the back seat of the Panamera, using his mobile phone voice to explain to the convoy personnel:
"When you arrive at Peach Garden Village's company residence, you must not lose in momentum! You must have enough style!
We must make the other party realize that our Liu Group is giving the other party a great deal of face by coming to Peach Garden Village to discuss cooperation!
In a sense, we can even understand our behavior as 'giving' and 'favor'.
Even if Lu Yu enters the Liu family in the future, he will only be a son-in-law at best.
So, everyone must show their tone, not be timid, and not show weakness in momentum, understand?!"
There was a moment of silence in the phone, and then a reply came: "Understood."
Wu Liang said in a deep voice: "Louder, I can't hear you!"
"Understood!!!!!!!"
"Very good, that's the momentum."
Wu Liang closed his mobile phone with satisfaction, closed his eyes and rested, silently calculating:
Peach Garden Village, right? Watch me use my silver tongue to completely fool you!
A few minutes later, the driver turned his head and said:
"Secretary Wu, Peach Garden Village's company has arrived."
Wu Liang poked his head out of the car window and looked around, a little confused:
"I told you to drive to Peach Garden Village's office building, why did you drive to someone else's private villa?"
The driver said aggrievedly: "This is Peach Garden Village's company address, the navigation is correct."
After Wu Liang and a few others got out of the car, they were dumbfounded looking at this vast European-style luxury manor.
Good boy, look at this big fountain square and big garden!
Setting up the company office building in this kind of place, the rent is definitely not cheap, President Lu is really willing to spend money.
However, when he turned his head and saw that the other followers were also dumbfounded, his face instantly changed:
"Cough, pay attention to the tone, pay attention to the tone!"
After turning his head, he looked at the deserted entrance of the villa, thinking:
I remember notifying Peach Garden Village in advance, where are the people?
Just as he was thinking this, the next second,
Suddenly!
A convoy of cars sped over from a distance!
A full 20 Audi A8s surrounded Wu Liang's convoy,
A Maybach S-Class stopped in front of Wu Liang.
Subsequently, a large group of men wearing sunglasses and suits got out of the Audi cars one after another.
These men were all tall, muscular, and fierce-looking.
In front of them, Youyi's employees were like small shrimps.
The tall men in suits gradually surrounded Youyi's visiting group.
???????
Youyi's employees looked at each other, silent and trembling, and didn't dare to speak at all.
Wu Liang was also a little confused, his mind racing:
What's going on, these big brothers look like they're from the underworld,
Could it be that the driver really tricked them and took them to the wrong place, accidentally entering the territory of a big shot?
Just as he was thinking this, the Maybach's door opened.
A man with a mohawk haircut came out and approached Wu Liang with a smile.
This man had a rogue look, wearing sunglasses and gold earrings, and his smile looked bad.
This further confirmed Wu Liang's guess.
It's over!
I've entered the BOSS's lair!
"Hello, my name is Zhang Fan, I am..."
Before Zhang Fan could finish speaking, Wu Liang nodded like a chicken pecking rice:
"I'm sorry, excuse me, boss, we'll withdraw now..."
"???????"
Zhang Fan was stunned: "Brothers, you've all come, and the main person hasn't even been seen yet, don't leave."
Wu Liang: "Brother, I didn't provoke you, what's the matter? There's no need to see your boss, right..."
Zhang Fan: "Are you Secretary Wu from Youyi? I'm Zhang Fan, the head of the game engine department of Peach Garden Village, responsible for receiving you. I took a detour to buy something just now, sorry for the delay."
Wu Liang instantly felt relieved when he saw Zhang Fan's business card.
However, what's going on with the figure and aura of you brothers?
Aren't the employees of game companies all ethereal because of long-term internal rolls and overtime, I don't know if you thought you were going to form a group to fight unlimited fighting.
After recovering, he suddenly felt that he had lost face just now, especially in front of his followers, he had to make up for it!
So he glanced at his watch with a nonchalant look, and said lightly: "Hehe, it's still early, it's okay."
Wu Liang's actions were all to show off his watch—
A Rolex Submariner 'Hulk'!
He'd bought it last year with the year-end bonus the company gave out.
During the New Year holiday, he showed it off to relatives and friends quite a bit.
Zhang Fan also glanced at the watch nonchalantly, and said apologetically, "Oops, I'm still a minute late. I'll have to have a drink as a penalty at dinner later!"
When Wu Liang saw Zhang Fan's watch, his eyes went wide instantly.
A Patek Philippe Nautilus?!
This watch is currently priceless; if you want to buy one, you not only need connections but also have to pay a premium. You won't get it for less than 500,000!
He subconsciously said:
"That's a nice watch you've got there, buddy."
Zhang Fan waved his hand dismissively:
"Oh, the company requires it. They bought them for us to play around with, fully reimbursed."
Wu Liang and the others were dumbfounded.
In all his years in the industry, he had never heard of a company reimbursing employees for Patek Philippe watches, just to play around with?!
Just then, a man riding a shared bicycle slowly rode over from a distance.
Everyone's attention was quickly drawn to this man who had intruded into the villa.
He looked languid, wearing a floral shirt, big shorts, and flip-flops.
He looked like an idle person with nothing to do, who had accidentally wandered in here.
Wu Liang thought that Zhang Fan was so enthusiastic, and he should also do a good deed, so he wanted to take the initiative to help drive the man away:
"Hey, we're discussing serious business here, you…"
Before he could finish speaking, those burly men from Peach Blossom Colony bowed to the man in unison:
"Good day, CEO Lu!!!"
Wu Liang and the others were startled by this momentum and subconsciously lowered their heads as well.
Then he instantly realized something was wrong:
Is this really a game company?!
In Yakuza movies, those wearing suits and sunglasses are all underlings; the real bosses are the ones in flip-flops and floral pants!
Isn't that exactly the situation now!
"Hehe, hello everyone."
Lu Yu parked the shared bicycle, scratched his hairy legs as he got off, and then picked up a bag of fish from the basket and handed it to Zhang Fan.
"I passed by the market this morning and found these fish were pretty good. Have Chef Fan Jing make a few fresh fish dishes at noon. Be sure to let Mr. Wu see Chef Fan Jing's knife skills!"
Wu Liang's forehead instantly broke out in cold sweat, and he muttered to himself:
"Knife skills, what knife skills? Slicing fish or slicing people?"
Lu Yu wiped his hand on his shorts and then shook hands with Wu Liang:
"Secretary Wu, right? I heard you were coming, and our company has been preparing for a long time. We won't let you leave easily today, hehe…"
Wu Liang, holding the other's hand filled with a bloody aura, had already lost most of his momentum from the car.
He had originally prepared to give CEO Lu a hard time, but he didn't expect to be shown up by CEO Lu instead!
"CEO Lu… th-there's really no need to be so enthusiastic…"
"Please come in." Lu Yu smiled slightly.
Wu Liang looked at the dark, abyss-like entrance to Peach Blossom Colony.
Good heavens, will I be able to go back smoothly today?
