Chapter 573: After searching for a long time, I found it without any effort
There are many familiar faces at the main table.
President Nan Hongbin, Vice President Zhang Qifeng, Honorary Vice President Duan Siyuan, and Secretary General Chen Liyang had dinner together before.
The other two unfamiliar faces corresponded to a man and a woman, and they should be the executive vice president and another vice president who were absent last time.
"Come on, Mr. Luo, sit here with me."
There were only six people sitting at the main table, and there was plenty of space. Zhang Qifeng didn't wait for anyone else to speak. He ignored his son and pulled Luo Yang to sit next to him.
"Mr. Zhang, Weilun is your son, right?"
Duan Siyuan smiled and joked: "If you don't know, you would think Mr. Luo is your son-in-law."
"Lao Duan, or Lao Jiang, is not here tonight. If he hears what you said, it would be strange if he doesn't drink with you."
Zhang Qifeng grinned and said, "Besides, everyone knows that I, Old Zhang, only have three sons, but Old Duan, you have two golden phoenixes in your family. So, are you planning to compete with Old Jiang for Mr. Luo's excellent son-in-law?"
"cough cough"
Luo Yang coughed several times: "Our country has a monogamous system, we can't seduce the younger generation to restore feudalism."
"Hahaha"
Nan Hongbin burst into laughter after hearing this.
The others also smiled.
"Boss Luo, President Jiang and President Zhao didn't attend the dinner last time because they had something else to do. Now that they're all here tonight, it's a good opportunity to introduce them to you."
Nan Hongbin pointed to the middle-aged man sitting next to him and said, "Jiang Tianyu, the executive vice president of our Chamber of Commerce, is also a member of the Magic City Calligraphy and Painting Association, a famous painter and collector."
painter?
Luo Yang really wanted to take a look at Zhang Weilun at this time.
Didn’t this guy say before that everyone present tonight is from the business community?
Is it
If you pay close attention to the words Nan Hongbin uses, you can discover that there is also a collector's expression.
Perhaps this Jiang Tianyu is engaged in the cultural industry, specializing in calligraphy and painting?
Description requires a process, but thinking in the brain only takes a moment. On the surface, Luo Yang did not show any sign of abnormality. He even picked up the wine cup and toasted Jiang Tianyu with a glass of wine after Nan Hongbin finished his introduction.
Zhang Weilun followed closely behind and raised his glass to toast.
Those who can sit at this table are all outstanding people. No one would be stupid enough to put on airs, especially when they know that Luo Yang and Zhang Weilun are following them.
"Zhao Xueqing, the vice president of our Chamber of Commerce."
When introducing another female vice president in a harmonious atmosphere, Nan Hongbin smiled even more: "Xiao Zhao is a top student at Jiaotong University. Although she is young, she is already a senior executive of Tencent's Shanghai branch and independently leads a department. She has a bright future."
No wonder you didn’t come last time because you went to Guangdong Province. Shenzhen is Tencent’s headquarters.
But he is just a project manager, is it necessary to exaggerate like this?
No matter how much praise he gives, Zhao Xueqing is still a worker.
Maybe it’s because she’s beautiful?
When it comes to young and promising people, even Zhang Weilun is no worse than her, right?
Of course, these are just thoughts in my mind. Even if I want to show it, it is not to be done in an occasion like this.
"President Zhao, I graduated from the Provincial Middle School in 08."
Luo Yang's opening remarks were unique; "If I'm not mistaken, I should call you senior sister, right?"
A native of Yang City and a top student at Jiaotong University, putting these two pieces of information together, Luo Yang was almost 100% certain that Zhao Xueqing also attended a provincial middle school.
"I graduated in 02, so I can really be considered your senior."
Perhaps because they were alumni, Zhao Xueqing smiled a little when answering Luo Yang's question. "You took the college entrance examination in 08. So, you should be a senior this year. It seems that you are also studying in Shanghai. Which university are you studying in?"
"I'm a senior this year and I'm currently working on my graduation thesis."
Luo Yang smiled and said, "I'm not as good as you. I'm currently studying at the Magic City University of Engineering and Technology, majoring in civil engineering."
"You are six years behind me, but now you are sitting at the same table with me. From this point of view, you are better."
As expected of an executive who has experienced the hardships of working in a large company, his IQ and EQ are both high.
“It’s hard to say what will happen in the future.”
Luo Yang picked up the wine cup while speaking: "Senior sister, if you develop in a large platform like Tencent, it is possible for you to control an industrial cluster worth hundreds of billions in the future."
This statement is not an exaggeration.
In the future, Tencent will be a trillion-dollar enterprise, and there will be more than one or two industrial clusters reaching a scale of hundreds of billions.
Becoming the boss of a cluster, even if the chance is slim, is it still a possibility, right?
"I accept your good words!"
Zhao Xueqing did not act modestly and readily accepted Luo Yang's compliments. Her temperament as a strong career woman was fully displayed at this moment.
"Vice President Zhao, I'll toast to you too."
After Luo Yang put down the wine cup, Zhang Weilun took over.
He also toasted with a small cup of wine, and then asked curiously: "Tencent has expanded rapidly in recent years. I heard that it has set up several business outlets in Shanghai. I wonder which one Vice President Zhao is in charge of?"
It is now 12, and Shanda Literature has not yet been acquired, so Qidian Chinese is not yet a Tencent industry.
But there is still a lot of business in Shanghai.
For example, the development, design, production and sale of computer software, and the provision of related technical consultation and technical services; the import and export of goods and technology; the development and operation of online games; and the provision of cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence and other technical services.
"I am responsible for the research and development and operation of online games."
There was nothing to hide, so Zhao Xueqing told Zhang Weilun the answer directly.
Such a simple answer instantly exploded in Luo Yang's mind.
I rely on!
Responsible for the R&D and operation of Tencent's online games.
When he looked at Zhao Xueqing again at this moment, he no longer felt that this nearly thirty-year-old woman was merely charming.
She was glowing all over now.
Luo Yang subconsciously turned his head and looked at Zhang Weilun.
You should know that the two of them are discussing setting up a game development and operation company, and are still in the business planning stage. Although they have no shortage of business plans and start-up capital, they absolutely lack a professional manager who can fully control the company's development direction.
Now, at the Chamber of Commerce dinner, I met a talent who is in charge of the R&D and operation of online games in Tencent's Shanghai branch. He is also a fellow villager from Yang City and the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce.
If this hoe is not wielded, what's the point of game development and operation?
Luo Yang and Zhang Weilun can take a break now.
"Game development. Senior, League of Legends wasn't developed by the team you led, right?"
Trying to test it out, Luo Yang is still a student now, and there is nothing wrong with being curious about this, and no one can see anything unusual.
"I was just one of the team members at the time, not the leader."
Zhao Xueqing replied with a hint of pride: "I know this game is very popular now. It is precisely because of this achievement that I have the opportunity to lead a project team to develop a game."
As a mid-to-senior level employee in the workplace, it is not an exaggeration to call her "White Bone Demon" (white-collar worker, backbone, elite).
She was not stupid. Nan Hongbin and Zhang Qifeng had talked about Luo Yang during the dinner just now. She knew that he was the son-in-law of another honorary vice president, Jiang Yuanshan, and that the aura around her was no less than that of his father-in-law, and even surpassed it.
Meeting such a business genius, who was willing to come up to her and acknowledge her as her senior, Zhao Xueqing certainly would not refuse.
For a professional worker like her, although she now earns a million yuan a year and looks glamorous on the surface, Zhao Xueqing knows that the internal competition in a large company like Tencent is too fierce. Every year, countless elites from 211 and 985 universities apply to join Tencent, one after another, like leeks.
Zhao Xueqing is already 28 years old this year. According to her current work intensity, she will not be able to survive in another three to five years at most, as those younger, more talented and capable newcomers will not be able to do so. However, large companies like Tencent do not care much about seniority.
So the Chamber of Commerce is also her platform.
If Luo Yang had a purpose in making friends with her, then didn't she have the same purpose in making friends with a big boss like Luo Yang?
"That's pretty awesome!"
Luo Yang gave a thumbs up and praised: "I hope that the team led by you can rival the studios under Blizzard and develop more popular game works."
"It's a bit beyond the scope of the team under Blizzard, but it's still possible to catch up with those small game companies in South Korea."
Zhao Xueqing smiled.
People outside the industry only know that Blizzard is awesome, but they don't know the source of their awesomeness. With the current strength of Tencent's gaming industry cluster, let alone being comparable to Blizzard, there is still a gap even when compared with some Korean gaming companies.
Of course, with Tencent's continued investment in the gaming industry and the continuous introduction of professional talents, it is only a matter of time before the gaming industry rivals or even surpasses that of South Korea.
But she also wanted to leave a deep impression on Luo Yang, so she mixed humility and confidence when answering just now.
It not only reflects the quality of honesty, but also demonstrates ability.
Unfortunately, she didn't know that Luo Yang was a cheater and knew something about the nature of Nanshan Pizza Hut.
In the gaming industry, there is a certain R&D capability, and another capability that is almost as good as the R&D capability, or even surpasses it. The combination of the two made Tencent Games so successful four or five years later.
Oh, I almost forgot.
Luo Yang still owns 15% of the shares in miHoYo!
In the future, MiHoYo will be the leader in the mobile gaming sector in the domestic gaming industry.
If he and Zhang Weilun set up a game development and operation company, would he also be considered one of the bigwigs in the online gaming industry?
The two people had their own purposes, and they would exchange a few words from time to time in the chat atmosphere of everyone at the table.
No one noticed it except Zhang Weilun.
Halfway through the dinner, people from other tables came to the main table in groups to toast.
After all, Luo Yang and Zhang Weilun were not from this table, so they could only get up and return to their seats.
The dinner organized by the Chamber of Commerce lasted until about 8:30, and finally ended.
Many old members who were familiar with each other gathered in twos and threes, talking and laughing in low voices as they left the banquet hall.
It looks like they have made an appointment to go to the second game to continue having fun.
I don’t know if Zhao Xueqing did it on purpose, but she went to the bathroom when the dinner was over and didn’t appear in the hotel lobby until most people had left. She happened to meet Luo Yang who was paying attention to her.
"My junior hasn't left yet?"
Seeing Luo Yang, Zhao Xueqing showed a surprised expression at the right time: "I thought you went to the club with Mr. Zhang and the others."
We are all adults. We have seen everything we are likely to encounter in the workplace. There is nothing to be shy about.
"Senior, have you forgotten that I'm still a student?"
Luo Yang smiled and said, "To be honest, I'm not really interested in places like clubs. If I have time, I'd rather have some tea with some friends, or sit in a cigar bar and chat."
"That's right. There are hundreds of thousands of students in Songjiang University City. A handsome guy like Mr. Luo, who is young and rich, probably just hates that there are too many girls around him."
Zhao Xueqing covered her mouth and smiled softly, then turned her head and looked around, then said in surprise: "Hey, almost everyone has left, and Mr. Luo is still in the lobby. Is he waiting for someone?"
Her eyes were wide open and she looked puzzled. If one didn't know that she was a workplace witch, one would have been confused by this expression.
"Because I often drink too much during social events, the board of directors' office is afraid that I might get drunk and get into trouble, so they specially assigned me a personal secretary. I don't know why this girl was late today, so I'm waiting for her to come over."
In fact, Chu Jing had already arrived at the hotel lobby. Luo Yang sent her a message before the dinner ended, asking her to go out for a walk and come back later.
"Senior, you've had a little drink, so it's not convenient for you to drive."
Luo Yang suggested: "Why don't we go have a cup of coffee or tea over there, and when the little girl arrives, I'll take you back."
In order to prevent Zhao Xueqing from feeling resistance to the opposite sex, he specifically pointed out the presence of another woman.
This was to allay her guard.
"Okay."
Zhao Xueqing agreed without any concern, then smiled and said, "I just drank a lot of white wine, and I feel a little thirsty. I was just planning to find some water to quench my thirst."
The two walked through the lobby and came to the lounge area next to the hotel lobby and ordered two cups of coffee at the bar.
So thirst is all bullshit.
"Junior, I just heard President Nan talk about you at the table, but he only mentioned you briefly. This made me very curious."
There were only two of them in the rest area at the moment, so Zhao Xueqing took the initiative.
She showed a curious expression; "I heard that my junior started his own business from scratch during college, and now he has established many businesses on a large scale. Can you satisfy my curiosity?"
If you want to get it, you must give it first.
"I didn't expect that Senior Sister is so curious even though she's already this old."
Luo Yang smiled slightly, and then briefly introduced: "It's not as amazing as they say. I didn't start from scratch. During the entrepreneurial period, I met some noble people who helped me. That's why I am here today. Now I have a drone research and development, manufacturing and sales company, a food company that sells milk tea, and a..."
After some introduction, it was only said that the industries in Magic City belonged to Lingshi Palace Group.
"Oh my god. Did you found Nai Xue and Lemon CC?"
As one of Naixue's loyal customers, Zhao Xueqing was indeed surprised.
It’s not because of the scale. After all, she has no idea how big Naixue is now. But the founder of a specific brand product next to her is sitting opposite her, and the surprise is very real.
"Why, senior also drinks milk tea?"
Luo Yang laughed: "That definitely can't be Lemon CC"
"Why, you're not allowing me to like milk tea?"
Zhao Xueqing rarely showed her little girl attitude and glared at Luo Yang.
When she mentioned Lemon CC just now, she seemed to have thought of something and her eyes became eager when she looked at Luo Yang.
This eagerness has nothing to do with the things between men and women.
Just like when she saw Pony Ma at the annual meeting at Tencent headquarters, it was pure enthusiasm and awe for authority and wealth.
"Senior, I want to ask you something."
Luo Yang struck while the iron was hot: "You are considered a mid-to-senior level manager in Tencent's Shanghai branch. What are the characteristics of the corporate culture orientation of such large companies? What is the pressure on grassroots employees and managers? What is the competitive relationship between business groups and between teams?"
He asked three questions in a row.
It seems that he is curious, or as an entrepreneur he is curious about the management model of large companies and wants to learn more about it.
In fact, he was trying to trick Zhao Xueqing.
