Chapter 49 Business Wizard

At 9:10 in the morning, a Boeing 737 with the Scandinavian Airlines logo finally landed at London Heathrow Airport after more than an hour's flight, accompanied by a harsh sound of tires rubbing against the airport runway.

Reporters waiting at the airport gate heard the news and moved, and the exit suddenly became like a pot of boiling porridge.

Soon, passengers walked out of the gate one by one, young and old, male and female, some dragging heavy luggage backpacks, while others had nothing in their hands, looking relaxed and unrestrained.

A group of reporters stared at the exit as if they were facing a great enemy, glancing at every person who came out, like spies, searching for their targets.

There were not many passengers on the Boeing 737. Among this group of passengers, some with sharp eyes immediately noticed a young man in a dark blue suit. He looked quite gentle and handsome, but his side-parted hair was obviously out of date. However, he still gave people a very polite feeling.

As soon as this person walked out of the gate, he immediately attracted the attention of many reporters, and some people even started taking pictures.

He soon saw someone in the crowd holding up a sign with Andres Ihahn's name on it, and immediately walked over with a smile.

"Hello, my name is Andres Ihahn."

"Hello, I'm the driver of Southampton Club!"

As soon as the driver finished speaking, reporters from all around rushed over.

"Excuse me, Mr. Andres Ihane, are you really a fan of Ibrahimovic?"

“You attended the press conference yesterday. Was it arranged in advance by Southampton and the WeChat team?”

"Someone broke the news that you are a shill. Is that true?"

“Do you know the WeChat startup team? Why do you want to meet them?”

"Can you tell us what your occupation is?"

Reporters at the scene swarmed over, and the momentum startled not only Andres Ihaan but also all the passengers walking out of the gate. They had never seen such a scene before.

"Uh...I..." Andres Ihan didn't know how to answer for a moment.

He was a little confused, because he never thought that there would be dozens of reporters blocking him at the exit.

But on second thought, it's not surprising. London is where all the famous newspapers in the world have branches. There are countless reporters and media here, and the press conference yesterday was so eye-catching. Who wouldn't pay attention to it?

"I'm sorry, Mr. Andres Ihaan is our distinguished guest from Southampton, please don't harass him!" The Southampton driver in charge of the reception remained calm and helped Andres Ihaan block the reporters.

“If you have any further questions, you can apply through the club and we will make arrangements.”

After saying that, the driver took Andres Ihahn's hand, quickly pushed through the crowd, and walked towards the parking lot outside the gate.

Along the way, Andres Ihahn did not say a word at the driver's instruction.

Even when a microphone was pressed to his lips, he kept it closed.

Andres Ihahn breathed a sigh of relief only after getting into the Bentley.

"It was like a war!" He was somewhat relieved that he had managed to get out.

However, the look he gave the driver was unusual. I didn't expect that even a driver in Southampton could remain so calm in the face of danger.

"You'll get used to it slowly. They all rush to get the news." The driver driving in front answered with a smile.

After Andres Ihahn got out of trouble, he felt relieved. "Are we going to the WeChat team's office now? I can't wait to meet them."

"No, I'm afraid not yet," the driver replied apologetically.

"Why?"

"Because Master Yang Huan invited everyone to dinner last night, everyone got very drunk and probably hasn't gotten up yet."

"Oh." Andres Ihahn could understand.

Yesterday's press conference was really great. Regardless of whether it was successful or not, just in terms of attracting attention, it was definitely a success. Moreover, before boarding the plane today, he received a message that the number of WeChat users has surpassed WhatsApp, making it the undisputed number one in the field of smartphone social networking.

Of course, there is still huge potential to be tapped for this number one, because their total number of users is only over three million, which is insignificant compared to Twitter and Facebook, which have hundreds of millions of users.

"So where are we going now?" Andres Ihahn felt that since he was already here, there was no need to rush to meet.

"Master Yang Huan has instructed that you should be taken to the Staplewood training base first. Aren't you a die-hard fan of Ibrahimovic? I'll let you go there first to see for yourself."

"Really? That's great!" Andres Ihahn jumped for joy.

"Oh, by the way, uncle driver, who is the Young Master Yang Huan you mentioned?"

"Our boss is also the founder of WeChat. All the creativity and ideas come from him."

"Really?" Andres Ihahn was very surprised. He originally thought that there should be many people working together on the WeChat team, but he didn't expect it was just one person. This was incredible.

What kind of person is he?

Yang Group headquarters, Longhai City, China.

Early this morning, all the senior executives of the Yang Group were alarmed.

The Yang Group has always been engaged in traditional industries, and their management team are all management talents in traditional industries. Many of them are not even able to use computers skillfully even now, let alone pay attention to some new things on the Internet.

But this time, what alarmed them was the reports in the newspapers.

Today, newspapers with huge circulations, including Longhai Morning Post and Xinwen Morning Post, and even some authoritative party journals and newspapers, have reported on this unique press conference held in Southampton, England yesterday.

Although many people who saw it treated it as a piece of entertainment news and laughed it off, the management of the Yang Group knew clearly that this incident was caused by the group's prince in the UK and is now known to the world.

This is the advantage of the Internet age. What happened yesterday is known to the whole world today.

Yang Wenfeng was in a good mood today. He came to the company early in the morning and waved his hand, asking all senior executives to go to the conference room for a meeting.

After all the management had arrived and taken their seats, Yang Wenfeng smiled and waved to the assistant behind him.

"First, explain to everyone what happened to my brat, so that everyone won't be confused."

After he finished speaking, he smiled and said to all the senior executives: "Everyone, just listen."

In the past, the whole Longhai City said that Yang Huan, the prince of the Yang family, was a playboy. But now, after going to the UK, in just over half a month, he has caused so many things and made such a big fuss.

To be honest, as a father, he had some doubts and worries before, but now, he is proud of it.

After hearing this, the assistant nodded, walked forward and looked at everyone.

"After Master Huan went to the UK, he first acquired an English professional football team, Southampton, and later founded an Internet startup and launched a smartphone app, WeChat."

"I believe everyone has seen it in the newspapers. Yesterday, the world's top striker Ibrahimovic announced his transfer to Southampton and held a press conference on WeChat, which attracted the attention of the world. I roughly counted and found that almost all the authoritative newspapers and media in the world were reporting on this matter."

"After yesterday's battle, Master Huan's startup company currently has more than three million users. It's very small and insignificant, but according to the evaluation of authoritative American institutions, the market value is about 20 million US dollars!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Twenty million dollars?

That is more than 100 million RMB!

Compared to the huge Yang Group, 20 million US dollars is indeed nothing, but the problem is, in less than half a month, Yang Huan actually created a company with a market value of over 100 million?

Oh my god, isn't this too fast?

All the executives below exclaimed, thinking this was incredible.

Could it be that the prince has suddenly transformed from a dandy boy into a business genius?

Yang Wenfeng, as a father, also felt very proud. "Everyone, please be quiet."

Following his words, everyone present suddenly fell silent.

In the Yang Group, no one dared to challenge Yang Wenfeng's authority.

"I want to tell you this news today so that you can pay more attention to Ah Huan's development in the UK and try to provide some assistance. On the other hand, I hope that everyone can brainstorm and introduce more advanced industries and management models to our Yang Group."

Having said that, everyone knew that Yang Wenfeng was just showing off his son.

But no one would say that. Anyone who dares to say that will be thrown out of the window and turned into an angry bird.

"This era belongs to the young. To be honest, I still don't understand what Ah Huan did in the UK. The only thing I understand is that he has been spending money."

After Yang Wenfeng finished speaking, the entire conference room burst into laughter.

The assistant behind him laughed and said, "Boss Yang, actually spending money is also a science."

"Yes, Mr. Yang, if you can spend money like Master Huan, then it's worth it no matter how much you spend!"

"That's right. I think Master Huan spends his money very wisely, just like you, Boss Yang."

"I think that Master Huan has achieved such results just after learning how to do business. With more time and experience, I believe he will be able to surpass his teacher. Mr. Yang's years of training also played an important role!"

Yang Wenfeng was flattered by his subordinates and waved his hands cheerfully, "Everyone, stop praising him so much. This brat doesn't like being praised. He gets cocky when he's praised!"

"Boss Yang is too modest. Master Huan is capable, so it's only right that we praise him."

"I think it's true. It can attract more than three million users in less than a week, which means it will have nearly 200 million users in a year. If it continues to grow for another one or two years, it can become an Internet giant."

"That's incredible. Think about Google, Facebook, Twitter, Apple, and several other giant companies in China. Their market capitalizations are all quite astonishing."

The entire company knew that Yang Wenfeng was famous for doting on his son, and praising his son was even more effective than flattering him personally, so a group of people praised Yang Huan as a god-like figure.

"Mr. Yang, I think that since Young Master Huan has made great achievements in the UK, the Internet is interconnected, and we should introduce it to China." Someone suggested.

When Yang Wenfeng heard this, he thought it made sense. Nowadays, people working in the Internet industry are all tall, rich and handsome, and their lives are not as hard as those working in traditional industries. So he also wanted to transform, and this was an opportunity.

"I just don't know if he himself has this idea." Yang Wenfeng was unsure.

"I'll call him right now and ask for his opinion."

He took out his cell phone and made a call.

"No way, Dad, why are you calling me now instead of earlier or later?"

As soon as the call was connected, Yang Huan's complaints were heard from the other end.

Although Yang Wenfeng knew that no one could hear him, he still glanced at everyone awkwardly, maintaining his father's dignity.

"You little brat, why did you answer the phone so late? What were you doing?"

"Dad, please calculate. It's midnight here. Is there anyone who calls someone in the middle of the night like you do?"

Yang Wenfeng was stunned. Oh, I forgot there is a time difference.

"Haha, I forgot there is a time difference." Yang Wenfeng smiled awkwardly.

It’s all my fault that I was too excited just now and was so happy that I was dizzy.

"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense. If you have anything to say, tell me quickly. I'm so sleepy."
