My capital is quite large.

After resolving the security issue, Li Feng rented a newly built, uninhabited two-story villa in the village as a temporary residence for his parents during the reconstruction of their old house.

Not only that, they also hired a quick and efficient aunt from the town to take care of the elderly couple's three meals a day and their daily cleaning.

After everything was settled, Li Feng reluctantly bid farewell to his parents and embarked on his journey back to Shenzhen.

In the VIP waiting room of Xuzhou Guanyin Airport.

Li Feng leaned back on the leather sofa, flipping through the financial newspapers that had just been delivered.

Sitting opposite her, Zhang Xinyu seemed somewhat absent-minded. She held a cup of coffee in her hand and stared blankly at the flights taking off and landing outside the floor-to-ceiling window, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

What she saw and heard in Lijia Village over the past three days had a profound impact on her.

The mountain of two million yuan in cash, the awe-inspiring and fawning gazes of the entire village, the unparalleled glory of spending money to repair ancestral graves... all of this intensely stimulated the nerves of this girl who had longed to stand out from the crowd since childhood.

Although her hometown was slightly wealthier than Li Feng's hometown in northern Jiangsu, her parents were still just ordinary migrant workers.

Back then, I went to Hengdian with dreams of becoming a star, and suffered countless scornful looks and grievances.

What she longs for most is to one day be like Li Feng, driving a luxury car, carrying a huge sum of money, and returning home in glory, silencing all the relatives and neighbors who once looked down on her.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling nostalgic because of this?"

Li Feng put down the newspaper, his gaze calmly seeing through her thoughts.

Zhang Xinyu trembled, quickly averting her gaze, her eyes slightly red as she lowered her head: "Boss... I just think your parents are so lucky. I've been away from home for several years now. I did so badly in Hengdian that I didn't even dare go back for the New Year, afraid that my parents would be ashamed of me..."

At this point, the beautiful secretary, who usually tried hard to maintain a cool and aloof demeanor, choked up a little in her voice.

"bite."

Zhang Xinyu's phone suddenly rang.

She paused for a moment, took out her phone, opened the text message, and froze instantly.

[Your savings card account ending in XXXX has received a cross-bank transfer of RMB 200,000.00. Current balance: RMB 235,312.00.]

"Boss, this..." Zhang Xinyu suddenly raised her head, looking at Li Feng with disbelief, her breathing becoming rapid.

"Those who follow me, Li Feng, as long as they are obedient and sensible, I will never treat them unfairly."

Li Feng picked up his coffee, took a sip, and said casually, "I'll grant you three days off. Take this 200,000 yuan and go back to your hometown. Rent a nice car, buy your parents some gold jewelry, good cigarettes, and good wine. Go back and show off for a few days, let them know that their daughter is now the CEO's chief secretary at a big company, and that she's made something of herself."

"Boss..."

Zhang Xinyu's tears flowed instantly, ruining her makeup.

She suddenly threw herself into Li Feng's arms, hugging his neck tightly, her whole body trembling with excitement.

In Hengdian, that cannibalistic place, even an assistant director would torture an actress until she was completely worn out for a few hundred yuan in pay.

The man in front of her, simply because he saw through her thoughts, casually gave her 200,000 yuan and told her to go home and show off!

"Alright, stop wiping your tears on my suit." Li Feng patted her back. "Return to Shenzhen in three days. The company has a tough battle ahead."

"Thank you, boss! I'll be yours in this life and in the next!" Zhang Xinyu swore with tears in her eyes, then dragged her suitcase and happily changed her flight back to her hometown.

……

In the evening, Li Feng flew back to Shenzhen alone.

As soon as you step into the headquarters of Haofeng Network in the science park, a commercial atmosphere that is completely different from that in the countryside hits you.

Technical Director Chen and several core executives had been waiting in the office for quite some time.

"Mr. Li! You're finally back!"

Upon seeing Li Feng, Old Chen excitedly handed him a thick data summary sheet, exclaiming, "It's a bombshell! A massive gold coin explosion!"

Li Feng took off his suit jacket and threw it on the sofa, then took the report and glanced at it.

Even though he was prepared, his pupils still contracted slightly when he saw those key data points.

It has been a full two weeks since Angry Birds and Fishing Joy were launched globally on the Apple App Store.

"Mr. Li, for the past two weeks, these two games have not only firmly occupied the top two spots on the download and sales charts in Europe and America, but also, as word-of-mouth spreads, they've begun to explode in popularity in Asia and Latin America!"

According to Apple's estimated settlement statements, Angry Birds has surpassed eight million downloads in just half a month! The in-app purchase revenue of Fishing Joy is even more staggering; overseas players are spending money without batting an eye just to get the golden cannon!

Li Feng walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and quickly made a decision in his mind.

"Based on the current growth curve and Apple's 30% commission rate..." Li Feng tapped his fingers lightly on the glass, arriving at a startling conclusion.

"When Apple's first payment arrives next month, the company will have at least $15 million in its account!"

Fifteen million US dollars! That's over 100 million RMB!

And this is only one month's revenue!

These two games, as the absolute leaders in the early days of smartphones, have a lifespan of at least two years.

In other words, these two cash cows can bring Haofeng Network at least several billion RMB in net profit every year!

"How's the progress on the web game side?" Li Feng turned to look at the head of the web game project team.

"Mr. Li, the underlying logic and numerical framework of 'Hu Lai Three Kingdoms' have been completed. Currently, we are undergoing intensive art and UI adaptation and internal testing. At the latest, by October, it will definitely be integrated into Tencent's QQ Space Open Platform!"

"Very good." Li Feng nodded in satisfaction.

Mobile devices are raking in US dollars overseas, while web-based platforms are poised to attract RMB on domestic social networks.

Haofeng Network's financial chain is not only completely healthy, but it can even be said to be extremely wealthy!

"Old Chen, on the game development side, continue to increase recruitment. The crossover development of Fruit Ninja, Cut the Rope, and Temple Run must not stop."

After handing over the work of the game department, Li Feng called the newly appointed director of the film and television department into his office.

The film and television director's surname is Han. He is a senior producer whom Li Feng poached from a long-established film and television production company in Beijing with a high salary.

"Mr. Li, you wanted to see me?" The newly arrived Director Han seemed a little reserved.

"Haofeng Films cannot forever remain just an investor who pays money; we need to have our own wholly owned and fully controlled national-level IPs."

Director Han's spirits lifted: "Boss, are you planning to launch a new drama project?"

"That's right."

Li Feng pulled out an A4 sheet of paper, picked up a pen, and quickly wrote a few large characters on it.

"Go and buy me the mainland China film and television adaptation rights to the Japanese manga 'Boys Over Flowers.' If you can't buy them, have the screenwriting team start writing an original script with a similar core theme immediately."

"The general framework is: a female college student from a humble background with a resilient personality is admitted to a prestigious private university, and then gets into a series of love-hate entanglements with four top-tier rich second-generation young men in the school."

Upon hearing this somewhat melodramatic and Mary Sue-esque premise, Director Han paused for a moment: "President Li, isn't this just Meteor Garden? If we're remaking a classic, will the audience accept it?"

"They will not only buy into it, they will become completely obsessed," Li Feng said with absolute certainty.

Hunan TV swept the national ratings with this outrageous yet captivating youth idol drama, and even made all the main actors in the drama famous!

"This drama is entirely produced by Haofeng Film & Television! From the director and screenwriter to the casting, we have complete control!"

"We can have open auditions. The male lead must be the most handsome and wealthy-looking young newcomer, and the female lead needs to look both innocent and stubborn. The sets must be luxurious, and the sports cars must be real. Don't be afraid to spend money!"

Li Feng pushed the A4 sheet with his name on it in front of Director Han, his eyes gleaming: "I've already thought of a title for the show."

Director Han looked down and saw seven large characters written on the paper—

Meteor Shower!

"Not only will we film the drama series, but we'll also deeply integrate all our upcoming smartphone games into it. I want this drama series to become our traffic engine in China's lower-tier markets!"
