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

Chapter 339, Section 338: "Big has its advantages, and small has its own merits. This applies to businesses, and it also applies to cities."

Since you can't drive after drinking, and everyone was worried about how to get back to the hotel, Zhang Xuhao said with a smile, "Don't worry, there are companies in Shanghai that specialize in driving for others. I'll call them and have them send someone over."

After saying that, Zhang Xuhao took out his phone.

"There are companies like this?" Song Dahai and the others were very surprised.

"This society is developing very fast," Fang Qingye interjected. "In the future, we won't need to make phone calls anymore; we can just do it online or by downloading an app on our phones."

"Is it the same as Ele.me's newly developed app?"

"Correct."

Shi Yong and the others exchanged glances.

It really is a big city.

It's not that I don't understand, it's just that the world is changing too fast.

Baodi Designated Driver quickly dispatched two vans, and more than a dozen drivers got out of the vans and drove everyone's cars back to the hotel. Fang Qingye let Li Li ride in her own car and specially asked the designated driver to take a detour to send the girl back to her residence.

The agenda for coming to Shanghai was considered finished. The next day, Song Dahai insisted on visiting Fang Qingye's Tuofang Company, and he agreed.

The hotel is in Building A, and his company is in Building B, which is very close.

The group took the elevator to the office of Tuofang Technology in Building B. Li Li and the others came out to greet them. When Song Dahai saw the spacious and bright office, he couldn't help but praise it.

"How can such a large area be managed by just a few people?" The crowd was puzzled.

"There aren't many people at Tuofang Technology. They're mainly reserved for employees of Tomorrow Cube Company. They're all master's and doctoral students who haven't graduated yet. Most of them will report for duty in July. Please come in."

Li Li acted as a guide, explaining things to everyone as they walked.

People were already working at Tomorrow Cube. Wei Xinghua, Zhao Chaoyi, and Cai Wang were debugging the high-frequency quantization model they had just developed. When they saw the group arrive, she only nodded to Fang Qingye as a greeting, ignoring Song Dahai and the others.

"She is Wei Xinghua, the Chief Technology Officer of Tomorrow Cube, a PhD in Finance, and a graduate of Tsinghua University," Li Li whispered as she stood at the office door.

"That person is Zhao Chaoyi, a PhD from Shanghai Jiaotong University, majoring in financial mathematics."

"His name is Su Hua, and he holds a master's degree in computer science from Shanghai Jiao Tong University."

Li Li introduced them one by one.

The crowd looked at each other after hearing this.

Damn it, they're all PhDs or Masters, there's not a single undergraduate!

"To develop high-frequency quantitative trading models, you really need a high level of education. For me, I can do simple mathematical models, but I can't do complex ones like this."

Fang Qingye explained.

Everyone was amazed.

After wandering around without much to do, everyone went back. Fang Qingye stayed behind to chat with Li Li and Wei Xinghua for a while, inquiring about some company matters, before returning to the hotel.

According to his plan, now that things were done in Shanghai, he would return to Nanxin.

However, Shi Yong and his group were unwilling.

How can we not have fun after coming all this way?
Moreover, I told my parents that I came to Shanghai under the guise of learning about investment, so why should I go back so easily?
"You guys have fun, I'm going back," Fang Qingye said.

In my past life, I spent most of my time in this city after starting university. I was so tired of it that I would rather go back to my small county town of Nanxin, where I could relax in my nursery, drink tea, or go fishing.

So they split into two groups: Fang Qingye and Qian Xiaoli prepared to return to Nanxin, while the rest planned to stay for two more days.

After checking out, the two took the elevator together to the underground parking lot to retrieve their car.

"Ye Zi, I have something to ask you." Qian Xiaoli suddenly spoke up: "I've been keeping this question to myself for the past few days, but it's not convenient with other people around. Now that it's just the two of us, I'll ask you."

"what is the problem?"

"You have so many businesses in Shanghai, you could easily live in a big city like Shanghai, why do you still prefer to come back to our small county town?" Qian Xiaoli asked, puzzled. Fang Qingye thought for a moment and said:

“Big has its advantages, and small has its own strengths. This applies to businesses, and it applies to cities as well. Besides, with you guys in the county, I think life here is quite interesting.” Fang Qingye finished speaking and laughed.

Qian Xiaoli laughed along with her.

"I suddenly find you quite interesting. If you didn't already have Bai Ou as your girlfriend, I would really like to pursue you."

"Huh? Don't joke around. Xiaoli, how were those PhD and Master's students you saw today? Did you find anyone you liked? How about I help you make the connection?"

Fang Qingye quickly changed the subject.

"Them? Forget it, they're not right for me." Qian Xiaoli pouted.

"What type do you like? I'll help you pick one, haha."

It was late March, and Ele.me's third round of financing had been completed. Zhang Xuhao's team had 600 million yuan in cash and began a period of rapid expansion.

Fang Qingye drove to the Huacheng Development Company office building this morning after work to hold a board meeting.

Upon reaching the second floor, a rather attractive female receptionist dressed in office attire sat behind the bar. Seeing him enter, she immediately stood up and respectfully greeted him, "Good morning, Mr. Fang!"

Fang Qingye took one look and realized he didn't recognize him.

The positions of grassroots employees at Huacheng Company change very quickly, and he doesn't know many of them or has seen them but can't recall their names.

"What's your name? When did you start working here?" Fang Qingye asked, slowing her pace.

"My name is Zhang Huan, and I joined the company about two weeks ago," the young woman quickly introduced herself.

"Oh, where's Zhao Qiong?" Fang Qingye suddenly remembered her elementary school classmate, who turned out to be a receptionist.

“When I arrived, Sister Zhao was no longer working here. I heard she was transferred to the sales office,” Zhang Huan quickly replied.

Did Zhao Qiong go to sell her house?
Fang Qingye really didn't know.

Although they were elementary school classmates, they didn't have much contact. Zhao Qiong was also quite smart and didn't use their classmate status to get any special treatment at the company.

"Zhang Huan, do a good job!" Fang Qingye said, then quickened her pace.

"Yes, Chairman Fang!" the young woman replied immediately.

I feel very happy.

I didn't expect that not long after I started working, the chairman would chat with me and encourage me.

Hee hee
Fang Qingye didn't go to the conference room; instead, she went to sit in Luo Yan's office first.

Where is Chairman Song?

"Not yet, but it will be here soon."

The board of directors currently consists of three people: Fang Qingye, Song Qingdong, and Luo Yan. The secretary of the board is concurrently held by Wang Qian, Luo Yan's assistant.

The two chatted casually for a few minutes, and Fang Qingye suddenly thought of Zhao Qiong and asked, "I heard from Zhang Huan at the front desk that Zhao Qiong was transferred to the sales department. How is she doing?"

"It wasn't a transfer; she asked to go there herself," Luo Yan replied with a smile. "Your elementary school classmate is quite good at sales. She's sweet-talking and has the best sales performance this month. Manager Liu from the sales department is even planning to promote her to sales manager."

Ah?
Does Zhao Qiong have this ability?

"If they have potential, nurture them well."

The two chatted for a few more minutes before Song Qingdong arrived, and the four of them went to the small conference room next door.

Today's topic of discussion is Huacheng Development's next project.
