My capital is quite large.

Chapter 146 Boss Xu of Evergrande

Jinling, Haofeng Group headquarters, president's office.

The early autumn sunlight streamed through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the entire spacious office area.

Zhang Xinyu was holding a thick stack of folders, giving her daily, unwavering report.

"Boss, here's the latest sales data from Xiaomi. The production capacity of the first-generation Xiaomi phone is already at full capacity. Currently, pre-orders and shipments across the entire network are steadily increasing. The 'hunger marketing' strategy has been very successful. Lei Jun said that we expect to break the two million unit sales mark by the end of the year."

"Over there in the gaming department, the daily active users of League of Legends in China have broken records again. Old Chen said that at this rate of growth, it'll only be a matter of a few months before it surpasses Tencent's CrossFire in internet cafe market share."

"In addition, our film and television segment's revenue this quarter and Weibo's average daily Google transaction volume..."

"Alright."

Li Feng raised his hand somewhat listlessly, rubbed his throbbing temples, and interrupted Zhang Xinyu's report.

Hearing these figures, which would drive any entrepreneur crazy, Li Feng's face showed not a trace of excitement.

Xiaomi's huge sales, the explosive popularity of League of Legends, and Weibo's daily profits... all of these were within his expectations.

However, when a business empire grows to such a massive size, the initial entrepreneurial passion of starting from scratch has long since faded.

Instead, there are endless reports to review, strategic directions to monitor, and endless capital games.

"Why does being a boss feel even more tiring than being a beast of burden at the bottom?"

Li Feng sighed helplessly to himself.

Even if he has tried his best to be a hands-off manager, how could he really ignore the fact that his wholly owned business is a behemoth involving hundreds of billions of dollars in cash flow?

He had to personally oversee the most critical strategic decisions and fund allocations.

Earning too much money can sometimes be a burden.

Li Feng glanced at Zhang Xinyu, who was standing next to him and had also been working non-stop for several days. He thought to himself that it was time to find someone to cool off and relax his tense nerves tonight.

Just as Li Feng was figuring out whose card to choose tonight, Zhang Xinyu closed her daily report and pulled out a gold-embossed invitation from the bottom.

"Boss, there's one more thing. The investment and M&A department just sent over some news."

Zhang Xinyu's tone carried a hint of subtlety, "It's Mr. Xu from Hengda Group. He sent one of his senior executives to fly to Nanjing to deliver this invitation, hoping to invite you to play a round of golf in Guangzhou this weekend and have a casual meal."

"Hengda? Xu Pidai?" Li Feng raised an eyebrow.

"Yes," Zhang Xinyu explained, "Hengda has recently been involved not only in football, but also in establishing the Hengda Film and Television Culture Department, preparing to make a major foray into the entertainment industry. They probably saw your previous investment in Wanda Cinemas and want to try and build a relationship with Haofeng. And..."

Zhang Xinyu lowered her voice and bluntly revealed the truth: "It's rumored in the industry that Evergrande has been acquiring land everywhere lately, taking too big a step, and is now facing a cash crunch. Our Haofeng Group has over a billion yuan in cash on hand all year round, and has no debt. This is no secret in the business circle. Boss Xu invited you to dinner this time, most likely to beg for financing."

Upon hearing this, Li Feng didn't even glance at the gold-embossed invitation, and let out a cold laugh.

Real estate giants getting involved in football and film?

He wants to extract cash flow from my account, Haofeng, to fill his enormous bottomless pit.

As a reborn person, Li Feng knew what earth-shattering things this Boss Xu would do in the future!

Two trillion yuan in debt! How many banks, suppliers, and ordinary homebuyers were ruined? It's a truly cosmic-level financial disaster!

Go to his trap? Go and get involved in his karma?

I, Li Feng, may have plenty of money, but I'm not so stupid as to become a sucker for gamblers who are destined to go bankrupt!

"Xinyu, throw away the invitation."

"Go and inform the investment department and the front desk! From today onwards, Mr. Xu of Evergrande and Mr. Jia of LeEco will enjoy the same treatment here at Haofeng Group!"

"These two are now on Haofeng's absolute blacklist! No contact, no cooperation, no investment!"

"If anyone from Hengda comes again, have security guards stop them at the gate!"

Seeing the boss's decisive and even slightly disgusted reaction, Zhang Xinyu was somewhat surprised, but she immediately nodded and made a note of it.

To be treated the same as that accountant Jia who talks nonsense, it seems that this boss Xu definitely doesn't care about his business.

"Oh, right." Li Feng leaned back in his chair, his agitated mood calming down a bit. "Tell Zhao Liying to come to the manor tonight."

……

That evening, in a high-end apartment in downtown Nanjing.

Zhao Liying looked at the text message she had just received from Secretary Zhang on her phone, and couldn't help but smile. Her face, which had been a little pale from the fatigue of filming, became radiant!

Since being chosen by Haofeng Film and Television, her status has risen steadily, and she is showing signs of being able to rival the top actresses.

But she knew better than anyone else that in this company, all your resources, status, and even how others look at you depended on how long the boss's "novelty" and favoritism towards you could last!

Receiving a text message today inviting me to sleep with him means I still hold a pretty good position in my boss's heart.

Sitting at her dressing table, Zhao Liying carefully chose her "battle outfit" for the evening while pondering the complex situation at the company.

In this cutthroat world of fame and fortune, you can't go far by going it alone.

"Although Yang Mi made a mistake before and angered the boss, why is it that she always manages to get through it time and time again?"

Zhao Liying looked at herself in the mirror, her mind eerily clear.

"Besides the fact that she knelt down thoroughly enough, it was also because that girl Dilraba was whispering in the boss's ear!"

Zhao Liying knew that the boss was currently at the peak of his novelty towards Dilraba and Gulnazar, the two exotic beauties he brought back from Xinjiang.

Yang Mi saw this and tied Dilraba to her side early on, with the two becoming each other's allies.

Let's take a look at Liu Shishi, Tang Yan, Ni Ni, and Li Xin on the other side.

These four women may seem unassuming and uncompetitive, but they've actually formed a close-knit group, supporting each other and exchanging resources. Their combined strength is not to be underestimated.

And what about that most favored fairy sister?

"Does she really think no one can see what she's up to?" Zhao Liying sneered inwardly.

Liu Yifei may seem indifferent to worldly affairs, but she is actually quite active behind the scenes!

Not long ago, Liu Yifei took advantage of his casting opportunity to bring in two completely new faces and sign them to Haofeng!

One is named Song Tie, and the other is named Bai Lu!

"Especially that girl named Bai Lu..." Zhao Liying couldn't help but purse her lips as she recalled the girl's appearance.

The girl's smiling eyes and brows bore a striking resemblance to Li Xin's!

Everyone knew perfectly well that Liu Yifei's move was a "bloodless victory".

Unlike Yang Mi, she wasn't foolish enough to pack up insignificant people like Zhu Xudan and Li Yitong and put them in the boss's bed, thus incurring his displeasure.

Liu Yifei simply signed the person in and settled him in the company as a nobody, waiting for the boss to take a liking to him one day and naturally understand his "intentions".

"Everyone's building their own factions and cultivating their own power base. If I make a mistake one day, there won't even be anyone to plead for me!"

A strong sense of crisis made Zhao Liying stop in her tracks.

She feels like an isolated island in the company now.

She knew that if she asked her boss to sign a new talent to Haofeng when he was in a good mood tonight, he would most likely agree.

But when a newcomer comes in, at best they'll just be a nobody with a guaranteed base salary, unable to access core resources.

To truly cultivate a powerful ally like Dilraba or Gulnazar, who can be spotted by the boss at first glance, soar to great heights, and then contribute back to one's own success...

Then we have to find one that has unique features!

"The boss is now surrounded by girls who are innocent, sweet, ethereal, or exotic..."

Zhao Liying quickly searched for all the female stars she knew in the industry.

Suddenly, the image of an actress I had briefly worked with on a film set flashed through my mind.

Thick lips, aggressive eyes, and a face brimming with undisguised ambition and desire!

That kind of worldly charm, full of tension and wild beauty like a carnivore, is absolutely unique in Haofeng's current harem, which is full of innocent girls and exquisite beauties!

"Xin Zhilei!"

Zhao Liying's eyes lit up!

She's the one!

This kind of wild woman, who exudes a strong desire to conquer, is sure to catch the eye of a boss who is used to seeing all kinds of stunning beauties!

Having made up her mind, Zhao Liying searched through her contacts and found the number she hadn't contacted in a long time.

If you want to cultivate trusted confidants, you must first show them kindness.

Before she speaks tonight, she needs to let Xin Zhilei, who is struggling at the bottom of the industry, know who gave her this exorbitantly priced ticket to the top of the entertainment industry!

The call connected, and after two rings, a mature female voice, tinged with fatigue and confusion, came from the other end:

"Feed? Who?"

Zhao Liying took a deep breath and adopted a friendly tone:

"Is this Sister Zhilei? This is Liying, Zhao Liying."

"I heard your auditions haven't been going very well lately? There's a lucrative deal out there that could launch your career overnight. Want to hear about it?"
