Chapter 268 - 268 The World Is Too Small, Don’t You Want Preferential Treatment?
This was not the first time Big Brother had been in the Internet field.
Luo Feng’s words on the stage were definitely not just to refute Bezos according to his inertial thinking. Wasn’t his words for specific people to hear since he had now obtained the Great Leader’s attention?
The results also proved this.
In Big Brother’s eyes, the current Luo Feng could only be described as unfathomable!
Actually, it was not only this Big Brother. Most of the people sitting here were smart. When they saw this scene, their thoughts were similar to that Big Brother’s.
“It’s all a coincidence.” Luo Feng was not prepared to explain anything.
Let them think whatever they want. He still had many things to do and did not have time to explain them one by one.
After the speech ended, everyone at the venue went to the next venue. There, they prepared almost all the information reports for everyone to exchange skills and ideas.
Other than Luo Feng and Ai Tingya, the others left towards the crowd.
The Boss of Tencent quickly took two steps forward and caught up to Bezos. He smiled and said, “You’ve built the stage for the young.”
Bezos’ face turned green and he ignored the Boss of Tencent.
His thoughts were the same.
This time, Luo Feng had simply stepped on his face and gained the favor of the big leader!
The secretary brought Luo Feng and Ai Tingya to the small meeting room on the second floor.
The big leader did not put on any airs. His smile was very amiable. “My surname is Yao. I’ve heard of Chairman Luo’s name for a long time. It’s indeed as the legends say. Heroes emerge from the young!”
Minister Yao reached out and shook Luo Feng’s hand.
“You’re too kind.” Luo Feng smiled.
Originally, he thought that it was just a formality. He did not expect Minister Yao to say again, “I’ve really heard of you.”
“Huh?” Luo Feng and Ai Tingya looked at each other and did not prepare an answer in advance.
Minister Yao turned from Luo Feng to Ai Tingya. “In the past, I had a subordinate with the surname Ai. His father and I are good friends.”
“You know my grandfather?” Ai Tingya reacted.
This meant that her father had once worked under Minister Yao.
Luo Feng was stunned. Was this world too small or was Ai Tingya’s family’s network strong? They could have connections even from so far away.
“Yes, we’ll call each other when we have nothing to do,” Minister Yao said kindly. “He bragged to me that he had found his granddaughter awhile ago You look like your father.”
Luo Feng blinked and finally believed that Minister Yao really knew Ai Zhaojiang.
With this relationship, the atmosphere in the meeting room eased a lot.
Minister Yao’s gaze turned back to Luo Feng and he sighed. “However, why didn’t Old Ai mention anything about how his grandson-in-law has done such a great job at all?”
He had heard Ai Zhaojiang mention Luo Feng’s name once or twice, mainly because he was complaining.
Minister Yao vaguely remembered that Ai Zhaojiang’s granddaughter was already an adult, but Ai Zhaojiang acted like a parent who was troubled by her child’s puppy love, so Minister Yao had never figured out how old Ai Tingya was.
Therefore, when he saw Luo Feng and Ai Tingya’s names on the list, he thought that it was a coincidence that they had the same name.
However, Ai Tingya looked very similar to her father, so Minister Yao recognized her at a glance. Therefore, he paid more attention to the two of them.
Minister Yao also had a grandson who was two years younger than Luo Feng. Their development progress was completely different. Thinking of this, Minister Yao was a little envious.
“Your speech just now was really exciting.” Minister Yao praised. Suddenly, his attitude changed. “But it was too irrational. Do you really understand what kind of person Bezos is?”
Luo Feng was stunned.
Is Minister Yao educating him?
“It’s true that young people are filled with vigor, but words are like spilled water, especially on stage. Someone has to be responsible for this!” Minister Yao said solemnly. “You said that the platform’s profits will not be more than 0.5%. There are so many reporters at the scene. They will keep an eye on you for the rest of their lives!”
Luo Feng nodded, so Minister Yao was concerned about him.
“Minister Yao, don’t worry. Since I dare to say it, I will definitely fulfill it.” Luo Feng was very serious.
“Aye?”
This time, it was Minister Yao’s turn to be speechless.
Is this for real?
Even the profits of current charitable organizations were higher than 0.5%. Luo Feng was actually not joking?
“From next month onwards, I’ll get the finance department to publicize information every month. Everyone is welcome to scold me as long as it exceeds 0.5%.”
“Ha Hahaha, you young people are really bold.”
Minister Yao felt Luo Feng’s determination and looked at him even more gently.
In the past, Luo Feng had told Xie Yan that they wanted to change the world. Actually, this was not just bragging.
Takeout, as an emerging industry, provided employment while boosting consumption. Wages were also more incentive than entering a factory.
Therefore, the country took this very seriously.
As the boss, Luo Feng was willing to give the profits to his employees. Minister Yao wanted to see something like that too.
He took the initiative to say, “How about this? Go back and organize the information about Gather Sift Takeaway in the next two days. According to your conditions, you can apply for preferential treatment now.”
Minister Yao thought very highly of Luo Feng and was willing to make things easy for him.
Many people might not be able to obtain such preferential treatment even if they racked their brains.
Luo Feng shook his head. “Thank you for your kindness, but we don’t need it for the time being.”
He really did not care about these small matters. After all, he was about to get his cash back. The more he invested, the more he would gain. The preferential treatment would cause the company’s cost to decrease.
There was no need for Luo Feng to take advantage of him.
“Buying insurance for employees and paying taxes according to the rules is the essence of a qualified company. I should leave the opportunity to other companies that need it,” Luo Feng said.
This was the first time someone had rejected Minister Yao in so many years.
He was stunned for a moment before he suddenly smiled. “You’re indeed different. How about this? I’ll give you my number. Look for me directly if you need anything in the future.”
The secretary’s eyes widened slightly.
One had to know that Minister Yao usually hated personal relationships with entrepreneurs because it was very troublesome once they needed anything. Now, he actually took the initiative to make an exception for Luo Feng!
It was the Minister’s guarantee after all. The weight of it could be imagined.
“Alright, I have other things to do, so I won’t keep you.”
After leaving the phone number, Minister Yao chuckled and sent the two of them off.
He returned to the conference room and sighed with his hands behind his back. “To be honest, I’m really a little jealous of Old Ai. Sigh”
“What did you say?” The secretary was puzzled.
“Actually, I have a granddaughter at home too.”
“Haha You’re so humorous.” The secretary laughed dryly. So he liked this young man.
Minister Yao laughed and added, “By the way, don’t forget to pass on the message to the people from the National TV channel to pay more attention to Gather Sift Takeaway.”
The secretary’s expression changed slightly. “Isn’t this A little risky?”
Getting someone from the National TV channel to report on Gather Sift Takeaway would create a new trend in the country. This was an effect that no publicity could achieve.
“Contributing to the country and letting the people know about it. That there’s nothing risky about this.” Minister Yao was very determined.
