Chapter 170

Moreover, among those who currently own smartphones, young people are still the majority. He even set up that "shake" feature and the drift bottle, um... well, it's for hooking up. Anyway, there are only people who want to hook up; there is absolutely no product launched purely for the sake of hooking up.

Just like later on, the original intention of various software was just to do social networking, communities, and the like, but as a result, what "Momo," what "Tantan," what "Soul," and even more excessively, even damn "Boss Direct Hire" turned into "Direct Hookup"...

Knowing is one thing, but how to do it is another. Wang Yan was still very disgusting, because he found someone to write an article and posted it on a forum to stir up trouble, titled "Shake—My Intimate Contact with Her...", which was trashy but looked very substantial at first glance...

Of course, if you want to say it's disgusting, he, Wang Mou, would never admit it, even though he himself felt it was a bit lacking. But as long as he has thick skin, it's just a simple little feature for socializing with strangers.

In short, this time, relying on some of WeChat's features, not only can "Pin Yidao" have good-looking data, but WeChat can also definitely retain a large number of users, and the valuation of the financing being discussed can also go up a notch.

Not thinking about it anymore, Wang Yan took a sip of tea. Looking at Shi Xiaomeng, he suddenly remembered the protagonist of the story and asked: "Any news about Cheng Feng recently? How is he?"

Dade Group, well, it's just like that. After setting a goal of bankrupting Dade Group on the basis of making money, he handed the matter over to his subordinates to handle and didn't care about it anymore, nor did he ask again. And ever since WeChat launched, he had basically devoted all his energy to the research and development of artificial intelligence, so he really didn't know what was going on with that dog-basket Cheng Feng.

Shi Xiaomeng certainly had been paying attention, and said with a chuckle: "I also found out when I went out to eat with Wu Di a few days ago. Cheng Feng, now..."

After holding a farewell party for that old bastard Cheng Cheng Shengen'en, Cheng Feng pulled himself together and set off again. After all, he inherited Cheng Cheng Shengen'en's estate and holds 27% of the shares in his hands. As the largest shareholder, sitting in the chairman's seat of Dade Group is a matter of course.

Taking the position of chairman, Cheng Feng was also forced by circumstances. Previously, he had tested the waters about selling a portion of his equity, relying on dividends to live freely, but no one bought it. After all, everyone knows what kind of character Cheng Feng has. If they can kick him out without spending money, why spend money to buy it? And if Cheng Feng were to dump them on the stock market, it would cause shareholders who already have no confidence in Dade to follow suit and dump them on a large scale, so the money he would get in hand wouldn't be much either.

Cheng Cheng Shengen'en didn't leave him too much money, mostly real estate that is difficult to cash out in the short term. If he were to bring in external capital to drive up the stock price like Cheng Cheng Shengen'en did in the original story, he wouldn't have the ability to outplay them, and would instead be inviting a wolf into the house.

He took the position, but it's useless if others don't take him seriously; he can't sit comfortably. His father is dead, no one is backing him, and no one is indulging his bad habits, so recently he has had to work honestly and perform well, and also strive for the support of other directors so that he can carry out his work and control the company.

Now the company is beset by internal and external troubles, which even a fool can see. The most direct one is that Dade Group's stock price has plummeted all the way. In order to stabilize the stock price, a lot of cash has been invested, and the capital chain has been significantly affected. At the same time, because of the capital chain, the group's business has also been very unsuccessful recently. Competitor companies wouldn't let them go even if they didn't have an opportunity, let alone now that they do, so naturally, they won't hold back even more.

What Cheng Feng is striving for now is to do the company's business well, give investors confidence, and then slowly sell off the shares he holds to exit. Unlike Shi Xiaomeng, Cheng Feng is not convinced by suddenly being in a high position. He won't think about whether his ability is sufficient, after all, you have to do it to know. And the company is still his father's hard work; if it doesn't have to collapse, he still wants to save it a little. Just as he often says, Dade's surname is Cheng.

Of course, the main reason Cheng Feng has this confidence is that his foundation is thick. To be honest, even if the company goes bust, it won't hurt him much. The villa his family owns would sell for at least 100 million, plus the money he gets from selling his shares. It's enough to live freely for a lifetime if he keeps his tail tucked between his legs in the future.

Besides, those shareholders won't just watch Dade finish; after all, if it really collapses, they will lose money too.

Wu Di feels he owes Cheng Feng too much, so he goes to see Cheng Feng whenever he has nothing to do, just for fear that he won't be able to get over it. Cheng Feng later realized that it was a bit excessive to blame his father's death on Wu Di, and being a loner is very boring, so he had to have someone to talk to, and after a light "I'm sorry," the two reconciled as before.

Once something happens, there will be traces in the heart. Although Wu Di really believes that it was his own reason that led to Cheng Cheng Shengen'en's death, it was a lie to say he wasn't hurt or sad when Cheng Feng pointed at him and scolded him that day.

If you have something on your mind, you have to say it, otherwise it's easy to get sick if you hold it in for a long time. If he tells Wu Mei, Wu Mei doesn't even know who is who, so hearing some useless words of comfort and feeling the care of a warm bosom is enough. If he really wants to be understood, he still has to talk to Shi Xiaomeng, Cheng Feng's former friend. Anyway, there are no secrets, so Wu Di drinks a little wine and mumbles this and that, and Shi Xiaomeng knows everything.

After finishing Cheng Feng's recent situation, Shi Xiaomeng shook his head and said with emotion: "This person, there's really no way to compare... You let me be responsible for 'Pin Yidao,' and I'm terrified. Others have directly become chairmen. Listening to Wu Di, it seems like he didn't hesitate at all, he just went for it. With someone like Cheng Feng, letting him call the shots, I guess Dade will be finished before long."

These words made him very uncomfortable. Damn it, we're both human, what's so special about Cheng Feng?

He knows that this kind of resentment is unreasonable. After all, if you really want to talk about it, what needs to be compared is not him and Cheng Feng, but his father and that old bastard Cheng Cheng Shengen'en. Although he just feels that if they were on the same starting line, Cheng Feng would be trash.

Wang Yan shook his head with a smile: "It won't be finished for a while. Dade Group still has a foundation. And so many shareholders can't just watch Cheng Feng mess around; there are still capable people."

Shi Xiaomeng smiled, took out his phone, and checked the time: "Brother, it's 11:55, aren't you going to check the situation?"

"I'll just wait until tomorrow to know the result. You go, those will all be your affairs in the future."

The launch time is the same as WeChat, 12:00 noon. He doesn't care much about that either. After all, he knows the original trajectory of "Pin Yidao," and there's no reason why it would fail in his hands when he's so awesome.

"Okay, then I'll go take a look, Brother."

Finishing the tea in his cup, Shi Xiaomeng got up and walked out.

Seeing him go out, Wang Yan drank tea for a while longer, picked up the phone, and called his subordinates.

How can it be okay for Cheng Feng to still have money? If he says he wants him to be penniless, he must be penniless.

It's just finding someone to fool Cheng Feng, finding a way to make him mortgage his assets, and investing money to drive up the stock price. In this way, not only can he cash out and leave, but he can also turn around and mess with Liang Junzheng and the others.

Wang Yan certainly knows that Cheng Feng has his guard up, but what if he has his guard up once, what about twice? Three times? More times? Wine and women are good ways to make friends. It's very simple to gain the trust of that trash Cheng Feng, right? Furthermore, inciting Cheng Feng's greed is also a matter of course.

So there is basically no difficulty. It's a matter of two or three months to play a long game and invest 8 to 10 million in relationship-building money.

After giving instructions, he hung up the phone. Wang Yan drank tea for a while longer, packed up the tea set, got up, strolled past the crowd of people related to the "Pin Yidao" project who were staring at the backend data, went downstairs, got in his car, and left.

Actually, you can't blame them for being excited. They saw what happened when WeChat launched, and Pudu was excited enough back then, so you can imagine how cool the people related to the WeChat project were before. And it's no secret that WeChat is currently raising funds, so how could the big boss who invested 100 million in the launch campaign be bad? So everyone has high expectations, wishing that it would explode Taobao the moment it launched...

Getting in the car, Wang Yan set off for Yang Zixi's flower shop.

After waiting for several months, the flower shop that Yang Zixi had been thinking about was finally done, and it opened this morning.

As for the flower shop, the renovation wasn't very complicated. It just needed to be simple and atmospheric, and then matched with lighting to reflect the colors of the flowers. Moreover, the renovation materials used weren't cheap goods. They weren't high-end, but they weren't cheap either. After busy work for about three months, it was finished.

When Wang Yan arrived and parked the car, he saw Yang Zixi and Lin Xia sitting on the sofa in the shop through the storefront window, one flipping through a fashion magazine and the other scrolling through her phone.

As Wang Yan pushed the door open, a string of small bells at the entrance made a crisp sound. The two sitting people looked up in unison. Seeing it was Wang Yan, Yang Zixi hurriedly got up and ran over: "Darling, you're here..."

Lin Xia also smiled when she saw Wang Yan, wanting to get up, but eventually sat back down.

"Alright, stop being clingy, come down. How was the opening morning?" As he spoke, Wang Yan skillfully patted Yang Zixi's little butt again. The weather is getting warmer, and the feel is getting better and better. At the same time, he didn't ignore Lin Xia who was sitting, and nodded at her.

How could Lin Xia's little movement just now escape his eyes? As the saying goes, those who stay near vermilion get stained red, and those who stay near ink get stained black; Lin Xia is just like that.

Before, when that old bastard Cheng Cheng Shengen'en just died, Lin Xia went and was hurt once, and then went again when she looked back at Cheng Cheng Shengen'en's funeral. She didn't expect Cheng Feng to be so ruthless, showing no face at all, and spraying her again in front of many people. It hurt her thoroughly, and she had no thoughts about Cheng Feng at all, and hadn't seen Cheng Feng since then.

It was also after that that Lin Xia and Yang Zixi, who had re-established a good relationship, became closer, playing together whenever they had nothing to do.

Not to mention whether Lin Xia loves money or not, just assume she didn't love money at all before and completely regarded money as dirt. After spending a long time with a spendthrift woman like Yang Zixi, could she have no thoughts?

And Yang Zixi is not a stingy person. Although it is her own money she is selling, it came too easily. After all, she sold before, why wasn't the price so high? Anyway, just spend it. And Lin Xia followed Yang Zixi, you can't say she hadn't seen the world before, but that was occasional. After hanging out with Yang Zixi, that's called normal.

As Yang Zixi's benefactor, Lin Xia naturally had more contact with Wang Yan. She was quite curious before, and after more contact, it was inevitable to explore. Before, she thought Wang Yan wasn't a good thing, but as the contact increased, her thoughts changed. Now, in Lin Xia's heart, Wang Mou is a real man, a great husband, humorous, witty, knowledgeable, free and easy, and so on, all the complimentary nouns can be applied to Wang Mou.

Plus, although Yang Zixi is being kept, she doesn't feel ashamed but proud, and intentionally or unintentionally says a bunch of nonsense about "true sisters" to tease her. After saying it a lot, although Lin Xia scolds her, sometimes she can't help but think about it in her heart.

Besides, Wang Yan is not a good person either, he's a proper veteran. He can guarantee that at the beginning, it was really just normal contact. But men are a mystery. Sometimes when they reveal a little clue, a little trace, curious women can't help but want to explore and understand, and he, Wang Mou, is even more of a mystery within a mystery.

It was also after discovering that Lin Xia had some small thoughts that Wang Mou made his move... um... now it seems that the results are remarkable. The grapes are 80% ripe, can be picked, and it won't be too much of a problem to add a life achievement or something...

Hearing Wang Yan's words, Yang Zixi pulled Wang Yan and sat on the sofa: "We only sold some flowers when we opened in the morning, and they were at half price or half-gift..."

Wang Yan thought for a while and said: "So you haven't contacted any wedding companies, event planning companies, or anything like that before?"

Yang Zixi blinked her innocent big eyes: "Is it necessary?"

Lin Xia, the dog-headed strategist on the side, heard this, slapped her forehead, and sat up straight: "Oh my, I just said what was missing. I'm used to seeing wedding and event planning on people's plaques when passing by flower shops, hi..."

Wang Yan had to admit that he had overestimated these two women; they were completely impulsive.

Damn it, how much money can you make by opening a flower shop and relying on retail customers to buy two flowers? Although the house is your own, whether you can sell enough to cover other costs this month is a damn problem. If you count the rent, it's better to stay at home and retire.

Thinking is thinking, but does he, Wang Mou, lack that little money? Just open it for fun.

"Alright, you two go out and contact them later. Now clean up, close the shop, and go out to eat."

Yang Zixi sighed: "Okay..."

What she was thinking in her heart was that apart from beauty, she was really useless. That old bastard God gave her a beautiful face and a proud figure, but took away her talent for doing business... How sad...

Lin Xia had a high degree of participation in this flower shop from the beginning to the present, and came up with many ideas, otherwise Wang Yan wouldn't think she was a dog-headed strategist. Now that it has participated in such a shitty way, Lin Xia looked at Yang Zixi's depressed appearance and felt somewhat embarrassed: "Zixi, it's okay, I know someone who does weddings. I'll contact others later and ask around, it'll be fine."

Yang Zixi looked at Wang Yan and gave Lin Xia a subtle glare. Why is she so unobservant? Is she aiming for that?

"Let's not talk about this first, let's go eat. I've been busy all morning and I'm hungry." Yang Zixi stuck to Wang Yan again in a coquettish and cheap way: "Darling, where are we going to eat?"

Although she had seen it many times, Lin Xia still couldn't stand Yang Zixi's coquettish look. She shuddered with disgust and very consciously followed behind, picking up the lock to close the shop.

"You'll know when we get there."

After Lin Xia closed the shop, the three of them got into Wang Yan's car and went to a private restaurant that had been booked in advance...
