Chapter 179: Chapter 179: So, You Want to Call Me Daddy?

After Su Ruoxi left, Lin Feng called an internal meeting with his top executives.

The main purpose was to summarize the investment results for the month.

Moreover, it was time to distribute the month’s earnings to their clients.

The profits would be deposited into the clients’ accounts, based on a two-percent rate of return.

In reality, the company had achieved a return rate of over seven hundred percent this month.

Giving clients a two percent return out of that was a drop in the bucket for Lin Feng’s current capital.

Once the core executives were gathered, Lin Feng had Huizi distribute the month’s financial statements, which had been prepared by the finance department.

Lin Feng had already instructed the company to exclude his personal investment of nearly two hundred million.

Even so, the rate of return shown on the statements they held was still shocking.

The only ones who seemed unfazed were likely Vice President Li and Yang Qiniang.

The two of them had witnessed Lin Feng’s maneuvers in the United States stock market.

They were also well aware of the profits generated from the stock market during that period.

After all, they had both watched Lin Feng make the trades himself.

So, they weren’t particularly surprised to see the final return on investment reach five to six hundred percent.

They had already had their fill of astonishment the previous week, watching Lin Feng operate in the United States stock market.

They had been shocked to the point of numbness.

However, the other core managers, who were in charge of different departments, all gasped when they saw the report.

Some even rubbed their eyes in disbelief, simply not daring to look at the numbers on the report.

"These are the investment returns our company has generated this past month."

Disregarding everyone’s reactions, Lin Feng immediately began to present the relevant data.

The principal was pitifully small compared to the profits.

To have multiplied it so many times over in just one month...

Moreover, most of the core department heads were well aware that the investments had earned so much entirely because Lin Feng was the one managing them.

After all, Lin Feng had allocated very little capital for the others to manage.

Lin Feng personally handled the trading for the vast majority of the funds.

Therefore, this rate of return was a direct result of Lin Feng’s ability.

Upon realizing this, everyone looked at Lin Feng with a clear sense of admiration in their eyes.

"This first month, because the company is still in its startup phase, I controlled most of the funds."

"But moving forward, I expect each of you to fulfill your roles and contribute effectively."

"The company’s structure is now relatively well-established. I expect each of you, after receiving your budget allocation, to achieve a monthly rate of return of no less than two percent."

Lin Feng never wasted words, getting straight to the point and setting the targets for each department for the upcoming month.

With the exception of a few new projects and administrative departments, every other department received their performance targets for the next month from Lin Feng.

Lin Feng believed that setting clear goals was the only way to give his people the motivation to strive for more.

Vice President Li and Yang Qiniang were each assigned a project as well.

Lin Feng had already used a function granted by his System to scan everyone. As a result, he had a good idea of each person’s strengths and their respective scores in the field of investment.

Therefore, the strategies he formulated and the projects he assigned were all based on this information.

As a result, when the department heads received their targets, they all felt that the goals were achievable, not impossibly out of reach.

"The next month is in your hands."

Lin Feng took a sip of his tea, his eyes sweeping coolly over the room as he spoke.

At that moment, no one thought of Lin Feng as a mere university freshman.

His calm and sharp demeanor was completely unlike that of a young man his age.

Furthermore, the System had already raised the loyalty of his core members to one hundred percent.

Therefore, no one had any objections to Lin Feng’s decisions.

In fact, they supported him from the bottom of their hearts.

After the meeting, Lin Feng returned to the university with Yang Qiniang.

There was a large lecture being held at the university that day.

The dean of their school had required all students to attend.

"Brother Feng, you have no idea. Back in the meeting, you reminded me of my dad!"

Hearing this, Lin Feng smiled, turned to Yang Qiniang, and said, "So, are you asking to call me Dad?"

Yang Qiniang’s eyes went wide, and he threw a punch at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng reacted instantly and dodged it.

The friendship between guys is just that simple and that complicated.

They always want to be the other’s "daddy."

Always trying to one-up each other.

"Speaking of the lecture, I heard the speaker is an alumnus from a previous year."

"This guy is supposedly pretty impressive; he’s even been featured in the school journal before," Yang Qiniang said, rubbing his chin.

"I saw that issue. The alumnus is in the semiconductor business."

"He caught the boom a couple of years ago, so the company expanded rapidly and is still doing well."

Lin Feng’s eyes flickered with interest at Yang Qiniang’s words.

"You mean Wang Zongjie, Senior Brother Wang?"

Lin Feng knew who he was.

The semiconductor market did well during the high-tech boom a couple of years back.

Basically everyone who entered the market then made a fortune.

But the boom has gradually died down over the past two years.

To be able to maintain that level of success even now was a testament to Wang Zongjie’s skill.

"By the way, Brother Feng, the issue of the school journal with your interview should be coming out in a day or two."

"I’ll definitely support you when it comes out. I’ll buy like, a hundred copies!"

Yang Qiniang rubbed his hands together, looking like he was ready for some grand undertaking.

Lin Feng patted Yang Qiniang on the head as they walked. "If you have that kind of time and money, you’d be better off focusing on the company."

"Even though I wasn’t keen on doing the interview, I know our school’s journal sells just fine on its own!"

As Lin Feng and Yang Qiniang approached the large lecture hall, they noticed more people on the path.

And everyone was holding a rather familiar magazine in their hands.

"Brother Feng, isn’t that the school journal they’re holding?" Yang Qiniang had sharp eyes.

Lin Feng glanced over.

In fact, the school’s journal staff had sent a sample copy to Lin Feng after the interview.

They had sent it mainly to get his approval; if he had no objections, they could go ahead with publication.

Lin Feng had given it a quick look at the time, saw no issues, and had promptly forgotten about it.

He hadn’t expected the journal to be released today.
