Chapter 3188: A New Trick
Yan Guangming kept pestering him, so Zhou Buqi had to promise that he would find a chance to talk to his daughter and see how to deal with the matter.

Only then did Lao Yan happily run to the airport.

Zhou Buqi looked at his back and couldn't help but sigh.

What is this all about!
The assistant accompanying him today was Sun Wanran, who couldn't help but smile and said, "From President Yan, I finally realized that power and wealth are really the best aphrodisiacs for men!"

Zhou Buqi couldn't help laughing, "You understand again?"

Sun Wanran snorted, "I've only read about it in books before. It says that when an old man reaches his sixties or seventies, his physiological functions decline and he can't do that anymore, so he has to rely on drugs to maintain his health. Later, he won the power struggle and returned to the center of the stage. After he gained power, he regained his youthful demeanor and didn't need to take drugs at all. He could call two girls a night and have fun every night with plenty of energy."

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "Read less of those trashy articles from Hong Kong and Taiwan."

Sun Wanran was not convinced. "Look at Mr. Yan. Isn't this a living example? When I saw him before, I felt that he was a little depressed. He went out drunk every night. He was so decadent and seemed to have lost all his energy."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Well, he lost some of his power in Estar during that period. He didn't know English, and Estar's operations became more and more formalized, so they gradually didn't need him anymore."

This is where it all started.

For this reason, Yan Guangming invited Zhou Buqi to dinner and took the opportunity to introduce his eldest daughter to him, hoping to strengthen their relationship and establish an additional "relative" relationship on the basis of "brothers". Although Zhou Buqi did not accept it, he could not bear to see Old Yan fall into depravity.

Then, Boss Zhou opened up his business vision and accurately found the market for copycat phones.

This is how the rising new company, Feige Group, came into being.

Yan Guangming naturally became the chairman of Feige Group, personally took charge of the power, and headed straight to the south. At this time, domestic mobile phone manufacturers launched many smart phones worth hundreds of yuan, which directly killed all the copycat phone manufacturers.

These dying or bankrupt copycat phone manufacturers were integrated by Yan.

It has become the cornerstone of the current Feige Group.

It also successfully launched the first low-cost smartphone for Africa, priced at only US$99, in South Africa and Nigeria, and became an instant hit.

Sun Wanran said softly, "The current Feige Group, I saw the unicorn valuation given by the Hurun List, is over 16 billion US dollars. I really didn't expect a company that makes knockoff phones to be so valuable. Mr. Yan is the founder and chairman of this company, and he is the top leader with great power. Can't you feel it? His mental state is so good. Compared with this time last year, he is completely two different people!"

Zhou Buqi nodded, "It's true."

Sun Wanran pouted and said, "You didn't see the two secretaries beside him, did you? I just chatted with them for a few minutes, and they really don't understand anything. They can't speak a word of English, and they can't even do two-digit multiplication mentally. Apart from being young and beautiful, they are really useless. How do they work? They just keep him company! It must be that Boss Yan is full of energy and feels like he has returned to his youth."

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "That makes sense. Old Yan just told me that he would try to have another son within a year."

"Ah?" Sun Wanran was surprised. "How old is he? He's still having a baby?"

Zhou Buqi said: "He is uneducated and prefers boys to girls."

"Doesn't he have a son?"

"That's just one."

"One isn't enough?"

Sun Wanran despised Lao Yan's style. Isn't this the same as the style of the ancient wealthy families? It's too backward! The girls in the family are responsible for arranging marriages; the men in the family are responsible for inheriting the family business. What era is this? Still using this old-fashioned way!

But then again.

Everything has its pros and cons!

At first glance, what Lao Yan did seemed a little wrong and made people look down on him. His methods were too crude and his servility was too spineless.

But we have to admit that throughout his life, Lao Yan has climbed up step by step from a bottom-level rough man who did not even finish junior high school to his current position as a business tycoon. I don’t know how many educated and principled social elites he has surpassed!
Judging from the results, who dares to say that what he did was wrong?

Next, this move is over...

hum!

Yan Guangming might even surpass Zhou Shaoning and become the number one in the domestic mobile phone industry!
Zhou Buqi said, "You also said it, wealth. In the business world, wealth means power. If he continues like this, within two years he will be elected as a committee representative to attend the annual two sessions."

"Ah?" Sun Wanran's eyes widened. "Can he do it?" Zhou Buqi glanced at her. "Why not? You don't realize how much money he might have in the future... I guess he doesn't realize it either. If he did, let alone his eldest daughter, he might even send his second daughter to me."

"Pooh!"

Sun Wanran patted him on the arm and glared at him angrily.

Zhou Buqi said solemnly: "Do you think I'm kidding you? Just do the math and you'll understand. The largest shareholder of Feige Group is Aisda, which holds 35% of the shares. The second largest shareholder is Lao Yan, who holds 20%. Chen Guohuan and I each hold 15% of the shares, and Ziweixing also has 15% of the shares. Even if the equity will be gradually diluted in the future and an option pool is set up, Lao Yan, as the chairman of the company, can maintain a shareholding of more than 10%."

Sun Wanran was surprised and asked, "Can it be worth a lot of money?"

Zhou Buqi said: "After Feige Group goes public, its market value will be at least 300 billion US dollars, right?"

"Doesn't that mean that President Yan is richer than President Zhou?"

Sun Wanran immediately understood what this meant.

In China, when evaluating an entrepreneur’s status in the industry, people often judge him or her by his or her wealth.

Whoever has more money is more powerful and has a higher social status.

In today's mobile phone world, apart from Boss Zhou who is outside the Three Realms and not in the Five Elements, the number one person is Zhou Shaoning.

The main reason is that the company is big and has a lot of wealth.

However, Zhou Shaoning's shareholding in Esdali is only a few million more than Yan Guangming's, and the difference is not big. Because Zhou Shaoning is the president and Yan Guangming is the deputy, the two can get different options every year.

Now Yan Guangming has jumped out of Estar. Although he no longer has the stock options that he could only get from working at Estar, he has directly participated in the establishment of Feige Group as a founder and obtained the founding shares! He is the largest individual shareholder of Feige Group, holding 20% ​​of the shares!

Doesn’t this mean that once Fei Ge Group becomes bigger, Yan Guangming’s status in the industry will surpass Zhou Shaoning’s?

Zhou Buqi nodded, "That's for sure. Yan Guangming might become the richest man in the domestic mobile phone industry. Zhou Shaoning will definitely not be able to surpass him. It depends on the development of Xiaomi Group. Maybe Mr. Lei will have another chance in the future."

Sun Wanran suddenly realized and said, "No wonder Mr. Yan wants to get closer to you. He is... He is a business genius! After Esdali fell into a bottleneck, he successfully opened up a new path and broke through the bottleneck by means of marriage!"

Zhou Buqi had to admit, "Well, Lao Yan's education level is not high, but his vision and decision-making are indeed better than those of ordinary people. Every time I think about it now, I find it hard to believe. Back then, I was a college student, and he was the director of an electronics factory. As a result, he really put aside his face and dignity to be my younger brother. In order to break through the bottleneck of the electronics factory, he actually turned to a college student... It's really hard to understand."

Sun Wanran pursed her lips and said, "Did he introduce you to a beautiful girl at that time? His ex-wife's niece or nephew? The female student from Beijing Film Academy, right?"

"right?"

Zhou Buqi scratched his head, having forgotten it long ago.

He tried to recall who it was, and a series of exquisite and beautiful faces flashed through his mind. He couldn't tell who was who, and he was actually suffering from face blindness. Suddenly, he could deeply understand Dong Ge. It turned out that face blindness was not nonsense, but real.

Sun Wanran said with emotion, "It seems that Mr. Yan is really a rare talent. He has one trick up his sleeve. He relied on his niece to get to know you, but now that his own daughter has grown up, he has started to get involved with you. The difference is that the one before was his ex-wife's niece, who had no real relationship with him, so you could just toy with her and dump her. But this time it's his own daughter, so if you do it, you have to take responsibility and you can't just ignore her."

Zhou Buqi sighed, "My head hurts!"

"Don't worry about it. If it's your turn, just take it." Sun Wanran was straightforward and snorted. "Of course, he has made his own choices and worked hard to get to where he is today, but the main reason is that he has clung to your thigh. Let alone the eldest daughter, I think it wouldn't be too much to send the second and third daughters to you."

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, his little girl has just started elementary school."

Sun Wanran said, "I'm just saying this. If someone humbles himself and puts down his pride and dignity to come and beg you again and again, wouldn't it make him lose face even more if you refuse? Besides, Gege is very sensible. Now she has become my little trumpet in the new office."

"What trumpet?"

"If there's any movement in the new office, she will secretly report it to me. She also helps you guard the house!"

"Guarding the house?" Zhou Buqi was walking with her from the hotel back to the headquarters building of Estar. The two of them lowered their voices when talking. "What do you mean guarding the house?"

Sun Wanran whispered, "She said that the secretaries in the office are all your Uncle Zhou's private property. She is helping you keep an eye on who made which calls, and who sent which WeChat messages to which boys. She keeps an eye on everything and secretly reports to me, fearing that you will suffer a loss."

"She has good female virtues." Zhou Buqi suddenly remembered, "Well, her mother is from the Qing imperial family, and she is a princess. She must know more about etiquette than other girls of the same age, and she has good family education!"

Sun Wanran said angrily: "I think there is no difference between you and Yan Guangming! Your head is full of feudalism!"
