Chapter 204: Group business
In Serie A, referees often make unfavorable decisions against Inter Milan. While Wang Feng finds this somewhat surprising, it's also understandable. The Nerazzurri have already achieved two consecutive titles, and with the current spirit and strength of the team, Wang Feng is confident in leading them to continue achieving good results. And he's still so young.
In the history of Serie A, the longest consecutive title record is held by Juventus with five consecutive titles, dating back to as far as 1935. The most recent consecutive title was achieved by AC Milan with a three-peat in 1994.
So Wang Feng thought that at least the Serie A league would wait for Inter Milan to achieve a three-peat before discreetly attempting to suppress them. He didn't expect them to be so eager to pull Inter Milan down now.
It seems that rumors about Inter Milan not being favored by Serie A tradition are not baseless. They may be a powerhouse, but in the minds of many high-ranking officials in the Serie A league, only AC Milan and Juventus are truly recognized.
Perhaps one day in the future, if Juventus were to achieve an eight or even nine consecutive titles, it would be acceptable to these people, and there would be no deliberate suppression.
The only consolation is that Wang Feng has made a name for himself in the world of football, with most of the media focusing on him. So the Serie A league dare not behave too excessively. As the top-ranked league in Europe, they still need to maintain their reputation.
After the match against Reggina, Serie A welcomed another two-week break, during which Wang Feng planned to take the opportunity to review the business of the Fengyao Group.
Since the establishment of the group, Wang Feng has always delegated specific business matters to professionals arranged by the Kailai Group. However, he hasn't completely washed his hands of it, instead appointing core operational and management personnel, such as Renee. Although Renee is not a professional, he has devoted all his energy to this, learning and improving quickly, which Wang Feng trusts.
Of course, Wang Feng also personally participates in some major decisions of the company, but he simply doesn't understand much and can't spare a lot of time to learn, so he occasionally looks at board meeting briefs and tries his best to understand.
Facing a pile of data and meeting records on his desk, Wang Feng scratched his head in frustration. He had already shortened his training time by two hours just to look at these seemingly meaningless things?
A steaming cup of green tea was placed in front of Wang Feng, and at the same time, a pair of slender hands rested on his shoulders, gently kneading them. "I see you've been troubled for a long time. Have a cup of tea to refresh yourself. I added a bit of mint to it," said a gentle voice.
Wang Feng gently grasped the hands, feeling somewhat apologetic. "Yao Yao, I'm really sorry. It's your weekend, but I still have to train and deal with these trivial matters, and I haven't been able to spend time with you properly."
Liu Yao shook her head with a smile. "As long as you're by my side, I feel very at ease. I don't care what you're doing."
She glanced at the documents on the table, and the Fengyao Group logo in the top left corner made her blush slightly. Wang Feng noticed her gaze and felt a bit embarrassed for a moment. "Well, the name sounds nice, doesn't it? Everyone agreed at the time, and the meaning is good too, easily associated with 'Fly,' haha."
Liu Yao bent down, resting her cheek on Wang Feng's shoulder and whispered softly, "I really like it."
Her gaze then turned to the documents, quickly becoming absorbed in their contents because it fell within her area of expertise.
It was an evaluation report on Tengxun Computer Systems Limited, detailing their development history, current business, and predicting future prospects.
"Can I take a look?" Liu Yao asked. "Why not? And I was thinking, after you graduate, could you come to the group to help me?"
Liu Yao didn't respond, but picked up the report and began to read it carefully. The reason she was interested in this company was that the chat software she and Wang Feng had often used was developed by this company.
After she finished reading the entire report, she had some ideas in mind and said, "Are there disagreements now?" Wang Feng nodded, "Many in the group are not optimistic about the domestic internet industry, thinking it's not easy to handle such high-end business. But some people think it has great potential."
"Now decisions need to be made, whether to invest heavily in Tengxun or not. Of course, the two factions have reached a consensus, which is that either don't invest, or if you invest, you must make a substantial investment and not just dabble in it."
Liu Yao nodded, "Let me share my understanding." So she broke down the contents of the report, simplifying it for Wang Feng to understand. With this, the originally obscure data and analysis became clear, and even Wang Feng, a layman, could comprehend.
Wang Feng was pleasantly surprised. He hadn't expected the shy girl from back then to grow so quickly. He stared at Liu Yao, who was radiant, full of courage and charm, which seemed particularly alluring, gradually distracting him.
Perhaps it wasn't that she had grown up too quickly, but that this was how Liu Yao appeared in front of ordinary people. Wang Feng recalled the cold and aloof Liu Yao he had met at Milan University, even the most arrogant youths were left speechless.
Liu Yao noticed Wang Feng's gaze. "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Wang Feng snapped out of his reverie, shaking his head hastily. "You're absolutely right. I feel like my thoughts are much clearer now, much better than when I read it myself."
"It's great if I can help you," Liu Yao said.
"Do you think we should invest in this industry?" Wang Feng asked. Liu Yao rested her chin on her fingertips, pondering for a moment before saying, "I think it has great prospects. Not only because of these analyses, but more importantly, I see a brand new future ecosystem from their chat software. The development potential is definitely not to be underestimated."
Wang Feng nodded. He was already inclined to invest domestically, and now with such a promising development company, especially one that hasn't gone public yet, it's a rare opportunity.
With a determined mind, all he needed to do was to give the final approval. Financing would naturally be arranged by specialists, and then Wang Feng and Liu Yao looked at several other emerging companies together, both domestic and foreign, including Ali, Shengda, Jiu Cheng, etc., all of which were internet companies.
"The domestic internet industry will definitely see vigorous development," Liu Yao, who had been in contact with the internet early on, said confidently. Wang Feng also agreed. Sometimes he would browse some domestic forums and find that new internet users were increasing every day, with more and more Chinese people being exposed to this brand new world.
By increasing investment and becoming important investors in these companies, the future returns would surely be considerable. And due to Wang Feng's celebrity effect, many companies were very willing to cooperate with him, providing guarantees in various aspects.
