Note that this book is a slow-burn novel, and it will become increasingly exciting as the story progresses.
It starts from 2002, beginning at the Beijing Film Academy, and starting with the H...
The three arrived at the Penguin Company building, where a nameplate featuring a penguin in red, white, and black was hung up. Previously, it was only black and white, which Shen Fang felt wasn't very appealing, so he suggested to Xiao Ma Ge that they add some red to the penguin's face, instantly making it more visually appealing.
I arrived at the front desk, and there was Sister Li again, in the same spot, still knitting as usual. She truly deserves the title of the number one penguin slacker, and she even dares to knit in front of Little Ma!
When Sister Li saw the three of them, she quickly greeted them.
"Hey, Mr. Shen and Fatty, you're here, and you've brought a pretty girl with you."
Shen Fang smiled and said, "Sister Li, are you still knitting a sweater? You must be really bored."
Sister Li smiled and said, "This is my personal hobby, but I don't think I'll be able to slack off for much longer. Tencent is gradually standing up, and when the company goes public, it will definitely change its storefront. I, the landlady, will have to say goodbye to everyone."
Shen Fang smiled and said, "Sister Li, with your status as the company's first veteran, even if we move, you'll still be the receptionist, and Brother Ma won't say anything."
"You said it yourself, right? I'll go to the penguin rooftop then. The kids here are so cute, young and energetic, and they have such lovely voices. I love them. Most importantly, they're so vibrant. I love working with young people. The penguins are now in their prime, and I really want to see them go. I want to see how far Little Pony and his friends will go."
Shen Fang was quite surprised. To be honest, he didn't expect Sister Li to say such profound words. Penguin's early days were like its infancy, Penguin Communications' birth was like its adolescence, securing funding was like its youth, and now that it's profitable, it's in its prime. It's at the peak of its development.
Amidst the vicissitudes of time and the stirring of the winds, the ultimate goal of Shen Fang and Xiao Ma Ge, along with the Four Heavenly Kings, is to build their own penguin empire.
"Sister Li, you weren't very optimistic about Penguin, were you? When I first came here a while ago, you were sighing and complaining."
Sister Li smiled and said, "No, Xiao Ma is a very determined person, and he's incredibly shameless. He used our land for free for three years and hasn't paid us yet. He traded it to me for 0.5% of the land. Actually, I'm also part of Tencent, otherwise I wouldn't have helped Xiao Ma when he was in trouble. I'm their creditor. I'm just waiting for him to make it big."
Shen Fang exclaimed, "Wow, Brother Ma is really something! But Sister Li is definitely not at a loss."
"Sister Li, keep this stock safe and don't buy it. Your happiness for the rest of your life depends on it."
Sister Li nodded and smiled: "With you and Xiao Ma here, I definitely won't sell this stock. Xu Xin from Baring Asia is already inside negotiating with Brother Xiao Ma. President Shen is probably waiting for you. Go in quickly."
Shen Fang nodded: "Okay."
As Liu Qianqian walked into the company, she curiously observed the various noisy phone calls ringing out inside. The place with the most employees at Tencent now was the telephone customer service. There was no other way; they were in the service business now. If there was any problem with the software, people would call customer service to resolve it. If they didn't do a good job in customer service, Tencent wouldn't have been able to capture such a large market share. At this time, Tencent was still very humane; they would answer calls. In the future, if you could get answered once a day, you would be lucky.
"Xiao Kun, take Qianqian to Brother Xu's place. Qianqian's place is the game design headquarters of Tencent. You should be very interested in visiting there."
Liu Qianqian nodded. Excitedly, she followed Shen Kun to the game department.
Shen Fang went straight to the conference room door, and before he even opened it, he heard Xiao Ma arguing with a woman.
Shen Fang walked in.
When Xiao Ma saw Shen Fang, he quickly introduced him to Xu Xin.
"Mr. Xu, this is Mr. Shen, our company's major shareholder and decision-maker."
Shen Fang stared blankly at Pony Ma, wondering, "When did I become a decision-maker at Tencent?" Pony Ma then winked at him discreetly.
Shen Fang gave Xiao Ma a look, indicating "OK, watch my performance."
Xu Xin stared intently at Shen Fang. She had already invested in Pony Ma and always believed that he could succeed. However, due to the internet downturn and Pony Ma's acquisition of IGO's funding to buy back shares at a high price, even though the big boss agreed, she couldn't sell her 7% stake back to Pony Ma. She always felt that the company's decision was a major blunder.
Then, less than a year later, Penguin stood up, quietly rising from the depths of winter, and developing very rapidly. It became profitable overnight, opening up new horizons for Penguin, especially with Penguin Farm, Penguin Membership, Penguin Coins, and the recently popular Flying Dragon novel.
The rise was so absurd that she couldn't understand the operations. It was as if Pony Ma had suddenly unlocked his full potential. She had always thought that Tencent would rise up, but she didn't expect that Tencent would not only rise up, but also become a giant in the domestic media industry once it went public, thanks to this profit model.
Now her boss has given her orders to get 5% of the shares at all costs, which makes her want to curse. Damn it, I worked so hard to get the shares, and you just sell them off to me. Now you want me to buy them back. If the money isn't high enough, she's thinking of quitting.
Helpless, she went to Little Ma again and explained her purpose. She had hoped to win him over by playing the emotional card, but to her surprise, Little Ma was not buying it. He had said yesterday that he would think about it, and then Xu Xin had a bad feeling.
