With experience from the electronic pet device, Dongling High-Tech’s executives now understood overseas markets and how to operate in them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, in a few days, the general manager we recruited for Dongling High-Tech will arrive in Hanxi; we’ll restructure our departmental roles.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Li Dongling’s gaze lingered on Yao Luoying: “Dongling High-Tech’s core departments will soon be divided into administration, human resources, finance, technology, marketing, legal affairs, production, and logistics—possibly adding investment, PR, and customer service departments later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The truly powerful departments in any company were human resources, finance, and marketing; technology was important, but depended entirely on whether the boss valued it—if he did, the tech department became dominant, able to mobilize company-wide resources, and many executives were promoted from tech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he didn’t, tech became a department no one cared about—HR, finance, administration, marketing, and logistics could all trample on tech staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, Hu Zixian managed finance, Zhang Ao was marketing manager, Li Dongshan and Gao Peng handled logistics, Gao Zhiyuan oversaw legal affairs, Chen Tao led the tech department; the administrative manager position must be reserved for the incoming general manager, or he’d truly be a commander with no troops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among Dongling High-Tech’s veteran executives, Yao Luoying’s position was awkward; she was currently assistant general manager, previously assisting Li Dongshan with company affairs while managing HR—effectively overseeing both HR and administration. But once the new general manager arrived, her authority and role would inevitably be affected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly shifting topic, Li Dongling said, “I plan to spin off the Feiyen brand we acquired into an independent brand and company, and within a few years, aim to take Feiyen Company public.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When acquiring Feiyen, Li Dongling hadn’t just wanted to reposition it for mini radios and car radios to become a stable cash cow for Dongling High-Tech—he’d also intended to take it public.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing “public,” Hu Zixian, Zhang Ao, Gao Peng, and others’ eyes lit up instantly; Gao Peng couldn’t hold back: “List it on the Shanghai Stock Exchange?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did so many companies crave listing? Beyond skyrocketing valuations, the most critical reason was liquidity—cash extraction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before listing, no matter how high the valuation, it was just a string of numbers—hard to turn into real cash; after listing, selling shares could yield massive cash, directly into one’s pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Dongling needed Dongling High-Tech’s executives and technical talent to see hope—to know that staying with Dongling High-Tech could one day earn them equity rewards, the chance to become millionaires, billionaires—even billionaires. Only then could management stabilize and retain more talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the parent company, Li Dongling needed to retain controlling ownership of Dongling High-Tech, so neither short-term nor long-term would the parent company go public.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But while Dongling High-Tech wouldn’t list, spinning off a new brand to list was possible—awarding partial Feiyen Company equity to Dongling High-Tech’s executives and technical staff could still boost their personal wealth and even achieve financial freedom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“List on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, then Hong Kong—maybe one day Feiyen will fly to New York or Nasdaq, becoming the first Chinese company to ring the bell in America!” Li Dongling smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even seasoned veteran Hu Zixian couldn’t help getting excited; if they truly rang the bell in America, they’d earn their names in the business world—but most importantly, they’d pocket massive wealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Assistant Yao,” Li Dongling looked at Yao Luoying, “after Dongling High-Tech’s departmental restructuring, you can join HR—or choose the newly formed Feiyen Technology Company.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Luoying met Li Dongling’s gaze, paused in thought, then firmly said, “I’ll join Feiyen Technology Company.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Luoying was well aware of the rumors swirling within Dongling High-Tech about her and Li Dongling; leaving the parent company for Feiyen was her best choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Yao Luoying chose Feiyen Technology, Li Dongling nodded slightly; having a trusted person lead Feiyen Technology made him feel more at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Building Feiyen Technology Company was essentially meant to sprint toward Nasdaq—its performance must shine brightly, so Feiyen Technology could go public within a few years and harvest a massive crop of retail investors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As always: it wasn’t that domestic retail investors weren’t worth harvesting—it was that foreign retail investors offered better returns. In a few years, the internet boom on Nasdaq would begin; if Feiyen then rode the internet stock hype, its share price would soar into the sky—enough to harvest multiple crops of retail investors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1312,"2026-06-21T04:42:08.057Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","f88e256b96320f913391bca10973398c37b6163504a60b67a81eff0dbc990745","reborn-starting-from-1993-chapter-88","reborn-starting-from-1993-chapter-86",989,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-starting-from-1993-cover.jpg"]
