I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 328 He looked like a country bumpkin visiting the Grand View Garden, completely unsophisticated.
Over the next few days, the company will move Tuofang Technology to the Shanghai International Financial Center, including purchasing an Audi A6L.

Of the employees dispatched to Nanxin, Pengcheng, and Ele.me, Wang Yu has already gone to Yanjing to report for duty at ByteDance, which he co-founded with Zhang Yimin. Even Qin Jing, who was at Ele.me, has officially returned to work at Tuofang Technology.

It's said that she failed to win over Kang Jia.

When Tuofang Technology moved there, Wei Xinghua's team naturally followed. Now the furniture and equipment are all complete, and the landlord will arrange it according to the requirements. Li Li, as the person in charge, will allocate office space to everyone.

Tuofang Technology has a small staff, with only 9 formal employees. Wang Chenyang, Xu Mei, and Wang Yu were assigned to Ele.me, Tomorrow Cube, and ByteDance as CFOs, respectively. Including Fang Qingye, there are only 6 people left.

Boss Fang Qingye naturally had a large office, Li Li also had a private room, the rest of the people sat in an office, there was a meeting room and a data room, and the rest was Tomorrow Cube's office area.

Wei Xinghua and Xu Mei, who was about to return from Nanxin, were specifically responsible for the division of labor and arrangements, including purchasing various computer network equipment, etc.

The once quiet east side of the 38th floor has become lively.

This aroused the curiosity of employees from other companies on the same floor. Next door on the same floor was Baorong Fund Management Co., Ltd., a private equity firm with a strong reputation in the domestic securities market.

Seeing people suddenly coming and going, the employees began to whisper among themselves.

"Hey, which company moved in this time?"

"Didn't you notice the sign? Tuofang Commerce & Technology Investment Co., Ltd." another female employee in an office lady uniform said in a low voice.

"Why does it feel like a shell company in a small county town?"

"Exactly, look at their employees. They're just recent college graduates, acting all naive and clueless, like country bumpkins visiting the big city." Another female employee wearing glasses said, pursing her lips.

"Seriously, what's wrong with the management company of this building? They'll let any company rent here!" The female employee in her office attire sighed.

"The rent here is quite expensive. I guess it's just a scam to save face. You'll see, they'll move out soon." The bespectacled female employee said with a confident expression.

“Yes, that’s true,” a colleague next to him agreed.

Little did they know that this seemingly shell company would have its subsidiaries wrestling them back in the stock market, eventually leading to its bankruptcy and its humiliating exit from the building.

However, this happened two years later.

Fang Qingye was also in the building at that moment, in her office, where a man named Shi Guangrong was sitting on the sofa.

This morning, Fang Qingye called Shi Guangrong and said that she had rented an office in the Shencheng International Financial Building and was planning to beautify the office environment by leasing a batch of green plants. She asked him to send someone over to take a look and make a detailed plan.

Unexpectedly, Shi Guangrong came in person with his men.

After walking around the office area, he finally sat down in Fang Qingye's office, clicking his tongue in admiration: "Qingye, it seems you've really gone all out."

"Trading stocks or futures alone is too tiring, so I need to find a team so that things will be easier for me," Fang Qingye explained with a smile.

Are you tired?

Others, including the Four Heavenly Kings, personally analyze the market, conduct research at companies and planting areas, and of course, they also have endless social engagements involving entertaining guests, giving gifts, and gathering insider information. But I've never seen you do any of that.

You call spending all day in the nursery planting flowers and tending to plants tiring?!

Shi Guangrong looked down on it.

"Are you completely giving up on going it alone?" Shi Guangrong pressed.

"Basically, yes. Maybe I'll give it a try if I feel like it."

Fang Qingye left Nanxin for Yanjing to close out his short positions, selling all 20,000 cotton futures contracts he had shorted, and made another 890 million yuan.

In just over a year, Fang Qingye earned approximately 20 billion yuan from cotton futures, completing the first stage of his personal wealth accumulation.

Hearing Fang Qingye's words, Shi Guangrong felt a little regretful.

If Fang Qingye doesn't take action himself, whether it's investing in stocks or futures, he won't be able to profit alongside him. Fang Qingye seemed to see the regret in his heart and smiled, saying, "Glorious, you've probably made over a billion by now, haven't you? Still not satisfied?"

"Then why are you still not satisfied? Why do you still want to start a company and speculate in stocks?" Shi Guangrong retorted.

“Because,” Fang Qingye said casually, sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, “I’m either playing a game of chess or fishing. So I need more funds.”

"Is this also your purpose in constantly investing in various high-tech companies?" Shi Guangrong asked.

"I guess so. Okay, I'm done chatting. I have some things to take care of." Fang Qingye stood up.

“Okay then, let’s go fishing after you’re done with your business,” Shi Guangrong said immediately.

"No problem, I'll get up in the middle of the night to go fishing." Fang Qingye chuckled, then thought of something else: "How much is it per pot to rent your plants?"

“For such a small amount of money, why would I need any more? I’ll rent it to you for free!” Shi Guangrong said.

"Sure, but you should also get free maintenance," Fang Qingye added.

After seeing Shi Guangrong off, Fang Qingye went downstairs to the underground parking garage, drove his newly bought Audi A6L northwards, heading to the headquarters of Ele.me.

Eleme has moved from an apartment building near Jiaotong University to an office building in the QU Jintie City Plaza in Putuo District. When Fang Qingye was driving along Jinshajiang Road and almost there, she took out her phone and called Zhang Xuhao.

"Are all the members of Xuhao here?"

"Everyone's here, waiting for you in the conference room."

"Okay, it'll be about a ten-minute drive."

"Okay! I'll have my assistant come downstairs to pick you up," Zhang Xuhao said.

"Ok."

Fang Qingye hung up the phone.

In the Ele.me conference room on the 16th floor of the building, Zhang Xuhao, Kang Jia, Wang Yuan, and even Deng Ye, who was expanding the market in Huacheng, were urgently recalled to hold a board meeting. Of course, the newly appointed director and chief financial officer, Wang Chenyang, was also present.

Ele.me's core team gathered in the meeting room, but they didn't know what the meeting was about!
Fang Qingye simply told Zhang Xuhao over the phone that he needed to hold a board meeting to discuss some important matters with everyone.

"President Wang, you're Chairman Fang's trusted subordinate. Do you know why we're having such a rushed meeting today?" Deng Ye asked Wang Chenyang with a smile.

Wang Chenyang felt slightly displeased.

What direct line?
So what if my identity is with Tuofang Technology, and not with Ele.me?!

During his time at Ele.me, some people whispered behind his back that he was sent by Topway Technology to monitor Ele.me.

Although Wang Chenyang was somewhat displeased, he knew in his heart that although Fang Qingye hadn't said anything, sending him here actually carried this meaning.

Back when he was the deputy general manager of finance at Yuxiang Tianhe Gas Company, that's what people said about him too.

got used to.

When Deng Ye asked him, he smiled and said, "I don't know why Chairman Fang is holding this board meeting. I know that he went to Yanjing a while ago as an angel investor to invest in an information network company, but at the same time rejected the financing application of another group-buying website."

"The competition among group-buying websites is fierce right now. Is Chairman Fang planning to make a move in this area?" Wang Chenyang wasn't really sure.

“Mr. Wang is right! I’m very interested in this group buying. Should Ele.me also get involved in this industry?” Kang Jia interjected.

Several people started discussing the news that Ele.me was going to get involved in the group-buying industry.

They were naturally paying attention to the online group-buying wars, wondering who would emerge victorious and whether Ele.me had unexpectedly entered the fray. This topic sparked much discussion.
