In the blink of an eye, it was already two in the afternoon. The conference room was already filled with people. Zhou Chao and Ling Chen walked into the conference room.
“Boss, good afternoon.” A group of executives stood up in unison as they saw Zhou Chao enter.
“Please take your seats. The objective of today’s gathering is to consolidate the various entities and assets under ourpany’s umbre. My intention is to elevate thepany’s status to that of a conglomerate. Ling Chen, please give an overview of the current situation of thepany.” Zhou Chao turned his gaze towards Ling Chen.
“Of course, Boss. Currently, thepany employs a total of 476 employees, including 23 executives. The subsidiaries under ourpany include Dragonfly Entertainment, Dragonfly Research, and Dragonfly Phnthropy,” Ling Chen provided a brief summary of thepany’s current structure.
Zhou Chao continued, “In the past, thesepanies were all directly managed by the mainpany, leading to numerousplications. Therefore, we will establish corresponding subsidiaries in the future, each with its own dedicated team. Ling Chen, please announce the appointments.”
“Announcing the appointments for the conglomerate: Ling Chen will be the CEO of Dragonfly Group, Qin Ziwei will be the CFO, and Xu Yu will be the COO,” Ling Chen read aloud. Both Qin Ziwei and Xu Yu were headhunted by Yang Shuo, a member of the headhunting group. They were high-ranking executives from Fortune 500panies who returned from overseas due to family reasons and were brought in by Yang Shuo.
“Zhao Xi will be the General Manager of Dragonfly Entertainment, Pan Meng will be the CFO, Zhou Jilong will be the Director of Dragonfly Research, Da Wu will be the Security Supervisor, Xiao Wei will be the General Manager of Dragonfly Phnthropy, Shao Jing will be the CFO, and Wang Feng will be the Security Supervisor. Among them, Zhou Jilong will be responsible for the research institute matters in Peng City. Additionally, a securitypany will be established by the group, with Lin Wu in charge and assisted by Xu Jiaxuan.”
“Thank you for your mentoring and trust, Boss,” the crowd of people, upon hearing their names, stood up excitedly.
“Don’t waste time on empty words. Show me your actions in the future. I’ll arrange your individual office spaces as soon as possible to avoid overcrowding,” Zhou Chao’s voice gradually grew louder, echoing through the conference room.
“I hope you can lead the conglomerate even further in the future. Meeting adjourned!” Everyone left the conference room with their appointment letters.
“Boss, what if I’m not by your side in the future? If there’s anything you need, and there’s no one around you, should I stick by your side?” Lin Wu stood there with a worried expression.
“Why would you stick by my side? Are you nning to eat and sleep all day long? Do you not want to find a wife? Lin Wu, 1 hope you can make something of yourself and not disappoint me!” Zhou Chao’s voice grew louder, filling the entire conference room.
“Yes, I promise not to disappoint you, Boss.” Lin Wu looked at Zhou Chao with a resolute gaze, and Zhou Chao patted Lin Wu’s shoulder in acknowledgment. “Go on, and have your assistant give you some guidance!” Lin Wu turned and went to find Xu Jiaxuan.
“Ling Chen, let’s continue our discussion in your office.” They both headed towards Ling Chen’s office.
“Boss, any further instructions?” Ling Chen handed Zhou Chao a cup of freshly brewed tea.
“Ling Chen, how much money is currently in the ount?”
“Boss, we have approximately 30 billion left. We spent some on acquiring the research institute.”
“Quickly identifypanies or projects in need of funding, fully acquire an entertainment and filmpany, and merge it with our own. One part will focus on the entertainment industry, and the other on inte celebrities. This way, they can cross-promote each other effectively.”
“Boss, your idea is truly remarkable. Given the massive following we have among inte celebrities, the promotional impact will be enormous. 1’11 immediately initiate the process of acquiring an entertainment and filmpany.”
“Alright, set aside 10 billion as a reserve, and use the remaining 20 billion for acquisitions. Move swiftly to establish thepany’s presence and create aprehensive conglomerate.”
“Understood, Boss.”
“I’ll let you use my Phantom. A conglomerate CEO shouldn’t be driving an ordinary car. Give me your car keys,” Zhou Chao handed the keys of the Phantom to Ling Chen.
“Thank you, Boss.” Ling Chen happily handed his Volkswagen car keys to Zhou Chao.
“Alright, I’m heading back now. If you need anything, give me a call.” After saying that, Zhou Chao left thepany and drove straight to the Global Financial Center.
The Jinmao Building was close to the Global Center Building, just across the street. Zhou Chao drove into the underground parking lot of the Global Center, searching for a parking spot for a while.
Just as he was about to park the car, Zhou Chao saw a luxury car elerating towards him. Judging by its behavior, it seemed like the driver wanted to take the empty parking spot for themselves.
Heh, there’s no way 1’11 let you take the spot so easily.
Zhou Chao immediately turned the steering wheel and stepped on the gas pedal. With his exceptional skills as a Racing God, he effortlessly maneuvered into the parking spot. The entire process was seamless, simple beyond imagination.
Once the car was parked, Zhou Chao prepared to exit. However, the luxury car directly stopped in front of Zhou Chao’s car. A young man got out of the car, followed by a youngdy in ck stockings. The man kicked the wheel hub of Zhou Chao’s car with his foot.
A loud “ng” startled both of them. Perhaps the young man felt embarrassed and grew even angrier.
“Get the hell out of the car!”
Zhou Chao furrowed his brows slightly, opened the car door, and stepped out. He gazed at the two of them calmly and said, “What do you want?”
“What do 1 want?” The young man looked at Zhou Chao’s age with even more arrogance. “This parking spot is mine. Move your car out of the way!”
Zhou Chao gave him a cold nce and said, “I found this parking spot first and parked here first. How did it be your spot? If you had the ability, you should have parked here before me!”
The young man was momentarily stumped by the question. He realized that if he had been a bit quicker earlier, the parking spot would have been his.
The youngdy in ck stockings next to him spoke up, “Young Master Chen, let’s not dy any longer. The meeting is about to start.”
Young Master Chen, the young man, seemed to remember something important. He turned to Zhou Chao and said, “1 don’t have time to waste with you here, you little brat. Let me ask you onest time: Are you going to move or not?”
“I’m not going to move,” Zhou Chao’s response was firm.
“Okay, you’ve got some nerve, kid. If 1 didn’t have a tight schedule today, I’d tear your car apart. I’m parking my car here now. Even if it ends up scratched or damaged, you’ll have to deal with it! Darling, let’s go!” The youngdy in ck stockings next to him burst intoughter.
“Wait a moment, are you sure you won’t drive away?” Young Master Chen hesitated when he heard Zhou Chao speak again.
Turning back to Zhou Chao, he said, “Kid, do you finally realize how powerful 1 am? It’s toote to apologize now; there’s no turning back! Unless you kneel down right now and loudly say ‘Grandpa, 1 was wrong’ three times, 1 might consider letting you off. Understood, kid?”
The words of the young man infuriated Zhou Chao. Indeed, in this world, one was bound to encounter some scum.
“I hope that by the time Ie back, your car won’t be here.” Zhou Chao believed that arguing with scum was futile, so he simply locked his car and walked away.
“Kid, you’re getting too cocky.” Seeing Zhou Chao walking further away, the young man couldn’t contain his anger and kicked the headlights of Zhou Chao’s Volkswagen, smashing them. Frustrated, he kicked the headlights a few more times until the front of the Volkswagen waspletely damaged.
“Young Master Chen, alright, let’s go to the meeting first. We’ll deal with himter.”
“Sure, darling!” Young Master Chen said, embracing the youngdy with ck stockings, his hand unconsciouslynding on her perky backside. The two of them left the parking garage intertwined..
