Chapter 251 - 251 Lunch; The General Manager's Invitation!
251 Lunch; The General Manager’s Invitation!
No wonder Shen Liang would be like this.
One had to know…
President Ma had built a small chat software into the world-famous Penguin Group step by step!
In the eyes of countless people, especially those in the IT industry, President Ma was definitely a god-like existence!
Now, this god was actually shaking hands with him!
How could he not be excited?
President Ma smiled and nodded. “Hello, Mr. Shen.”
“Hello, hello,” Shen Liang said repeatedly.
The two of them shook hands for a while before President Ma said to Lin Fan, “Mr. Lin, can I show you around?”
“Alright!” Lin Fan nodded.
It was different from when Shen Liang brought Lin Fan out for a stroll.
At this moment, Lin Fan was surrounded by a large group of people, including Penguin’s Jiangbei branch’s general manager, director, and President Ma.
Every time Lin Fan walked into an office, there would be a round of applause.
In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed.
Lin Fan, President Ma, the director, Shen Liang, and the others arrived at Jiangbei Hotel.
Obviously, the attendant had good eyes. After seeing them from afar, he immediately informed the manager, Zhang Shanfeng.
Zhang Shanfeng hurriedly came over and arranged the best private room and the most delicious food.
President Ma gently inhaled the fragrance that filled the room and praised, “Smelling the fragrance on this table, my appetite is immediately whetted! First of all, thank you, Mr. Lin. It’s thanks to you that we can taste such delicious food!”
After saying that, President Ma picked up his wine glass.
The general managers and directors around him followed… As for Shen Liang, who was sitting beside Lin Fan, he was still in a daze. However, he also raised his wine glass.
Then, everyone downed the wine in their glasses!
“President Ma, you’re too polite.” Lin Fan smiled.
As he spoke, he also drank a glass.
“Mr. Lin, what do you think of our Jiangbei branch?” asked Mr. Ma.
Lin Fan said, “The company has a fitness room, a beverage room, a game room, a sky park, a star-rated canteen… It allows the employees to eat, drink, and play well while working… Overall, it’s not bad!”
Lin Fan did not just casually praise him.
Generally speaking, many companies did their best to squeeze their employees and did not pay attention to their health at all.
There were very few companies like Penguin Group.
When President Ma heard this, he could not help but smile. He said, “Our company has always allowed our employees to work in a healthy and happy way…
“In fact, the Jiangbei branch is completely based on our Penguin headquarters.”
Everyone drank a few more glasses of wine and chatted for a while.
President Ma finally told Lin Fan the reason why he came to Jiangbei today and asked Lin Fan out for a meal.
“In the past, I always thought that people would only have certain abilities and achievements when they reached the age of 30 and 40!
“It wasn’t until I met you that I realized I was wrong!
“Mr. Lin, thank you for your support of Penguin Group! You’ve also increased your shares to 10%, becoming the second largest shareholder of Penguin Group!”
Silence!
The entire private room suddenly fell silent!
What did they hear?
10% of Penguin Group’s shares!
One had to know…
Penguin Group was a super giant company with a market value of five trillion.
10% of the shares, which meant… Mr. Lin, who was in front of them, was worth more than 500 billion yuan?
What a terrifying number!
Originally, Shen Liang had gradually adapted to the atmosphere in the private room.
However, when he heard this, he was stunned again.
Lin Fan understood what Xiao Ma was thinking.
He was just worried that he would interfere with Penguin’s work.
After all, the number of shares he held now had surpassed that of President Ma’s. He had become the second largest shareholder of Penguin Group and had become an uncertain factor in the company.
Lin Fan smiled. “Rather than saying that I’m optimistic about Penguin Corporation, it’s better to say that I’m optimistic about the development of a small chat software into Penguin Group…
“Therefore, my shares will not interfere with any of the company’s work… I’ll just earn the dividends according to the profits.”
As expected, when President Ma heard this, an obvious smile immediately appeared on his face. He said, “Thank you, Mr. Lin. I won’t disappoint you!”
Then, he raised his glass again and drank it in one gulp.
The meal lasted for nearly two hours.
After that, Lin Fan did not go to the Jiangbei branch of Penguin Group. Instead, he went straight to Coiling Dragon Villa and lay down on the soft bed before falling asleep.
An afternoon nap was a necessity for a handsome man.
…
President Ma did not stay in Jiangbei for long. After personally sending Lin Fan to his car, he took the nearest flight to Yang Cheng.
As the leader of a big group with a market value of five trillion yuan, President Ma was very busy every day.
As for visiting the Jiangbei branch of Penguin Group?
To be honest, he was not interested at all.
One had to know…
Penguin Group had branches in dozens of cities in Hua Nation.
If he had to visit every branch…
In that case, he would be visiting branches every day.
He would have to fly around every day.
The real reason was that he was worried that Lin Fan, the second largest shareholder, would affect the future of the company.
…
At this moment, in the Jiangbei branch of Penguin Group.
Shen Liang sat at his desk and looked at the progress of his work in the morning.
Then, he prepared to continue working.
At this moment, a sweet-looking woman slowly walked over.
“Hello, Mr. Shen. The general manager would like to see you in his office,” she said softly.
Shen Liang’s heart tightened slightly, and many reasons immediately surfaced in his mind.
He was extremely nervous, but he finally knocked on the door of the general manager’s office.
“Please come in!” The general manager’s deep voice rang out in the office.
When the general manager saw that it was Shen Liang, he hurriedly stood up and said with a bright smile, “Shen Liang, quickly sit!”
Then, the general manager personally poured him a cup of good tea and said, “Come, have a cup of tea.”
The general manager personally poured tea for him?
Shen Liang was flattered.
“Shen Liang, I noticed you a long time ago. After all, very few young people can work so well.
“In addition, you also obtained good results in the last basketball game… Basketball is a sport that tests your ability to organize and coordinate. This shows that you have good leadership and coordination skills.
“Shen Liang, I have high hopes for you… It’s really a waste for you to be in this small marketing department all the time.
“I’ve taken a look. The gaming department is lacking a supervisor. Are you interested in the role?
