Reborn, back to a small county town to become a wealthy family

Chapter 747 Hopefully I won't have to relive those memories.
Since the game didn't start until after 3 PM, only 9 holes were scheduled, and it ended just as the sunset came out.

The meeting with Shen Nanpeng went very well. Both sides reached an agreement on the shared bicycle and Lemon CC projects, paving the way for future cooperation.

Therefore, the evening's hospitality was quite relaxed.

The two chatted freely and drank quite a bit.

After the dinner, Wen Wan and Luo Yang left the hotel together.

"Boss, the bike-sharing project was the main topic of our discussion with President Shen today. Why didn't you bring President Song along?"

Only now did Wen Wan voice the question that had been lingering in her mind.

In her view, although major decisions must be made by Luo Yang, Song Wan is now the CEO of Edifier Technology Company. Whether it is discussing the list of investment institutions for the second round of financing for the shared bicycle project or establishing an overseas company, she should be present and have the right to know.

"Under today's circumstances, it's better for Song Wan not to be here than for her to be here."

Luo Yang was leaning back in the back seat, resting with his eyes half-closed. After hearing Wen Wan's question, he slowly replied, "Think about why yourself."

"what?"

Wen Wan was stunned, and subconsciously muttered, "Is it better not to be here than to be here?"

Immediately, various conversations from this afternoon flashed through my mind, especially those involving the bike-sharing project.

She thought for a long time, but still had no clue.

Changing her approach, Wen Wan quickly switched her focus to Han Dongming.

If there's a reason, it must be related to him.

"Boss, I still don't have enough information to support the subsequent analysis."

Lacking crucial information, Wen Wan still couldn't figure it out and could only reply, "But I suspect it's related to Han Dongming in the capital. I don't know anything else."

"Although Shen Nanpeng was willing to give up some equity in the second round of financing, he also obtained the qualification for future angel round investment from overseas companies."

Luo Yang didn't blame Wen Wan for anything, and slowly explained with his eyes still closed: "But the overseas investment institution we're cooperating with hasn't been decided yet. Guess if Sequoia Capital is interested, if Han Dongming has any ideas, and what my side is thinking?"

First of all, we can be certain that Han Dongming definitely has his own ideas.

It was Han Dongming who first proposed the idea of ​​establishing an overseas version of the shared bicycle project to expand into overseas markets.

Secondly, there's the matter of one's own boss, who most likely wants to choose their own partners.

Even if he eventually has to sell the shares, he will definitely want to keep the initiative in his own hands before he does so.

The remaining issue is with Shen Nanpeng.

Logically speaking, Sequoia Capital has already localized in China and is different from Sequoia Capital in the United States, but who knows what Shen Nanpeng is thinking?

Especially when the profits are large enough, who wouldn't want to take more than their share?
"By not letting Song Wan show up today, we are not giving Shen Nanpeng a chance to find out how far our negotiations with Han Dongming have progressed."

"So you plan to quickly reach an agreement with Han Dongming tomorrow, and then inform President Shen of the result as soon as possible, leaving him no chance?"

After this brief explanation, Wen Wan seemed to understand: "Someone like Shen Nanpeng, if you just give him a little hint, he can probably paint a complete picture of the whole thing, and then come up with a plan to maximize his own interests and use it to negotiate with you."

"There's another very important point."

Luo Yang paused here, and after a long while, continued: "After the second round of financing was completed, President Song gradually withdrew from the shared bicycle project and went on to take charge of Guobao Films."

Upon hearing this news, Wen Wan's eyes widened instantly.

"Are you planning to have Vice President Xiao take over?"

While shocked, Wen Wan asked in confusion, "But what about her abilities?"

The shared bike project will involve more than just fundraising in the future. As of now, all the bikes are still operating on campus. The next step is to expand beyond the campus and into the city, which will be much more complex than it is now.

Can Xiao Wei handle this?

"Song Wan will stay at Edifier Technology Company until the end of the year, giving her a six-month transition period. I believe Xiao Wei will be able to grow and develop during this time."

Luo Yang said without any concern, "Moreover, the shared bicycle project won't be rolled out in all major cities across the country all at once. Instead, it will be piloted in a fourth- or fifth-tier city first. Xiao Wei will be assigned to oversee it and learn from the experience."

Six months is neither a long nor a short time.

“An Ying didn’t have such a transition period back then.”

Just as Wen Wan fell silent, Luo Yang spoke again: "After graduating from university, she went straight to be my assistant, and then moved into a management position, becoming the executive vice president of Luo Shengtang, effectively in charge of the company's overall business. Now take a look at Xiao Wei."

After graduating from school, Xiao Wei joined Kunpeng Technology, serving as Luo Yang's assistant and director of the board office.

After transitioning from Kunpeng Technology to the shared bicycle project, Song Wan was there to guide them.

If that still doesn't work...
I don't know about other things, but Xiao Wei will definitely not be able to join Luo Yang's core team in the future.

Thinking about all this, Wen Wan suddenly felt terrified.

She joined the company in April of this year and was directly appointed as the director of the group's board office. In just over three months, she has now also served as the director of the board secretary committee, becoming a member of the group's senior management.

Based on Luo Yang's training pace for his valued subordinates, she might be transferred to another post by next year at the latest.

Wen Wan is well aware of her own abilities.

She has absolutely no management experience. How could she possibly manage a company, especially a large one, all at once?
Just thinking about it makes me anxious.

"Why don't you speak?"

Luo Yang suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Wen Wan, who was turned to the side facing the back row: "Are you worried about yourself?"

"Boss, could you mentor me more often in the future?"

Wen Wan bit her lower lip and said, "I want to spend more time by your side so I can learn more and ask you for advice on business management at any time."

Previously, she mainly focused her energy on the group's internal affairs.

As for who goes on fieldwork with the boss, it all depends on Luo Yang's preferences.

Now, she's going to seize these opportunities.

Before being sent away, you should spend more time with Luo Yang and receive his guidance.

"After this organizational restructuring, Yu Haiping will become the group's vice president, and there are other arrangements for you as well."

Luo Yang smiled and said, "Since you have this idea, then come and work as my assistant for a while. I won't give you the position of board secretary; let Yu Haiping take over for now."

"Okay, I'll follow your instructions."

Wen Wan immediately replied, "I will also delegate as much authority as possible to Sun Wei and Chu Jing regarding the affairs of the board of directors."

Who do you think would be a good fit to take your place?

Suddenly, Luo Yang brought up the topic: "Sun Wei or Chu Jing?"

"Both of them have their strengths and weaknesses."

Without hesitation, Wen Wan replied, "As for who can replace me, it depends on who the boss prefers."

It's impossible to treat both people equally.

However, the position of Director of the Board Office is absolutely not something she can control; it can only be appointed by Luo Yang himself.

"You."

Luo Yang shook his head, then closed his eyes and said nothing more.

A dozen minutes later, the car arrived in Xuhui District.

Luo Yang did not stay overnight at Hongqiao Villa tonight; he had his driver take him to Jiang Wen's place.

Upon returning home this time, Jiang Xue didn't see Shen Jinglan. She was still having a great time at her hometown, and Jiang Wen was the only one doing yoga in the living room.
"Have you been living alone these past few days?"

Unlike before, when Luo Yang would come over every few days and even complain about other people staying at the house, now he actually hopes that someone like Shen Jinglan will come over to keep Jiang Wen company so that she won't be too lonely.

"It's okay, Xiaoxue will be back next week anyway." Because she was practicing yoga, Jiang Wen didn't come to the door to greet him, so Luo Yang had to change his shoes himself, wobbling a bit.

"Eh?"

Jiang Wen probably caught a glimpse of Luo Yang's condition out of the corner of her eye, and before she could even pause the video she was playing, she rushed over to help him up.

As she helped Luo Yang into the living room, she asked疑惑地问道, "I remember that when you've been drinking, your secretary always escorts you to the door. Why is that tonight?"

"Since we were passing by, I sent her back first."

Luo Yang plopped down on the sofa: "You go about your business, I'll sit here for a bit."

While Luo Yang continued talking, Jiang Wen went to make a cup of black tea, then went to the bathroom to wring out a hot towel and wipe Luo Yang's face. After finishing all that, she returned to her yoga mat to continue her workout.

"Didn't you ever think about going home for a few days?"

While in the car, Luo Yang was able to control himself, but after returning home, he became much more talkative.

He lit a cigarette, watching Jiang Wen strike a pose with her curvaceous figure, and made a conversation: "You didn't seem to go back in the first half of the year, did you?"

"What are you going back for?"

Jiang Wen lay sprawled on the yoga mat in a split and whispered to Luo Yang, "Now that I've graduated, my family is already reluctant to let me stay in Shanghai. If I go home, they'll definitely try to arrange blind dates for me. Are you really willing to let me go back to Jiangcheng through that kind of means?"

"hehe."

Luo Yang, slightly drunk, said, "If you dare go on a blind date, I'll break both your legs!"

"Humph!"

Jiang Wen was secretly pleased, but her face remained impassive: "Why should I? You're the kind of person who only allows officials to set fires, but forbids ordinary people from even lighting lamps!"

"It seems like it's been a while since I've properly disciplined you."

Luo Yang scoffed, "You little brat, eating what's in your bowl while eyeing what's in the pot. I'll deal with you later!"

This scene seems to take us back to our junior year of college, when the two of us were always bickering.

"Mr. Luo, have you forgotten that you drank too much tonight?"

Jiang Wen wasn't afraid at all. As she continued to strike her next pose, she retorted, "Don't even mention disciplining me. You'll be lucky if you can even take care of yourself later."

Luo Yang wanted to stand up and go over there to teach Jiang Wen a lesson, to show her who was in charge.

Unfortunately, my body felt a bit weak, and I couldn't lift my buttocks up even after several attempts.

"cluck"

Jiang Wen saw all of these actions and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Once I start laughing, I definitely won't be able to continue doing yoga.

Jiang Wen simply turned off the projector, walked barefoot on the long-haired carpet to Luo Yang, put one hand on his shoulder, gently pushed Luo Yang down and straddled him, looking down into the man's eyes.

Because of posing, there were still sweat stains on his forehead, and a small wet patch on the front of his shirt.

"My lord, I am now within reach, what is your punishment?"

Jiang Wen looked at Luo Yang with a smile, her eyes full of provocation.

"hehe."

Do you really think we can't do anything to you?
That's superficial.

Luo Yang made a strategic deception move, turning his head away with an expression of "unwillingness".

Jiang Wen became increasingly "rampant," writhing and provoking Luo Yang.
Pick one, pick one.

Let's see how you quell the anger of a man who's had too much to drink.

From an angle that Jiang Wen couldn't see, Luo Yang's lips curled up slightly.
It's hard to say who outsmarted whom that night.

The next morning, Luo Yang arrived at the company full of energy.

Half an hour before the morning meeting was scheduled to begin, Song Wan arrived at Luo Yang's office first.

"Chairman, how did your talk with Shen Nanpeng go yesterday?"

Knowing that his boss was entertaining the other party last night, he didn't expect to receive a call from Luo Yang that evening. That's why he rushed to his office early this morning to learn about the important information before the meeting started.

Some content will need to be added to the meeting agenda later.

“It’s going relatively smoothly.”

Luo Yang then told Song Wan everything that he had discussed with Shen Nanpeng the day before.

"Sequoia Capital is actually willing to give up 5% to 8% of its shares in exchange for the right to invest in angel rounds of overseas companies in the future."

After hearing the retelling of the information, Song Wan immediately judged: "It seems that Shen Nanpeng also believes that the concept of the sharing economy can be hyped up in the European and American markets. Chairman, if Han Dongming knew this news, he would probably be more confident about the upcoming cooperation."

"Han Dongming will arrive in Shanghai at 1 p.m.

Luo Yang looked at Song Wan and said, "You go pick her up from the airport for me, and then we don't need to go to the golf course. Let's find a quiet place to talk."

"Pfft!"

Although Song Wan immediately covered her mouth, she still couldn't help but laugh.

"It's better not to play ball on such a hot day."

If it weren't for the laughter earlier, Luo Yang would have believed her.

Do you think Han Dongming will introduce an overseas investment company to us this time?

Luo Yang quickly changed the subject to ease the awkwardness.

"I think so."

Song Wan answered Luo Yang without even thinking.

"why?"

"Otherwise, why would he cooperate with us?"

Song Wan said matter-of-factly, "The help from universities in the capital was agreed upon beforehand. In return, we gave him the ticket to the second round of financing for shared bicycles. As for overseas companies, do you think we can just rely on his suggestion that we can expand into the European and American markets?"

Eh?
I hadn't thought of this angle before.

“I even think there’s a possibility.”

After Luo Yang had processed the previous sentence, Song Wan continued, "The idea of ​​expanding the bike-sharing market to Europe and America might not even have come from Han Dongming. It could have been the idea of ​​an overseas investment company, perhaps to secure our second round of funding, or perhaps they genuinely wanted to collaborate with us to take the bike-sharing project to Europe and America."

Luo Yang was stunned.

He had never imagined this was possible.

Now, after Song Wan's analysis, at least logically speaking, there is absolutely no problem.

"After meeting with Han Dongming this afternoon, let's not bring up the overseas investment company yet."

Although there is no evidence yet, Luo Yang already believes Song Wan's judgment.

"I know."

Song Wan nodded and said, "If he brings it up himself, then my guess about this possibility is basically correct."

"tsk"

Luo Yang suddenly realized: "If Shen Nanpeng had thought of this, he definitely wouldn't have agreed to give up the shares from the second round of financing."
