Bill Gates answered Feng Yu’s call. He thought Feng Yu was calling him to tell him that he will work hard in Microsoft in the future. But who knows, Feng Yu was calling him to tell him that he will be taking a long break from work!
“Feng, the rest of the people in the company is unhappy with you. It will be hard for me to explain to them.”
“Bill, have I completed what the company wants me to do? Other than me, who else can succeed in completing this task? I had said that I will only be handling the Chinese market and will not interfere with other operations. Why should I attend the Director’s meeting then? Will you all let me interfere with other regions? Did I mentioned in the previous meeting that I will support your decisions?” Feng Yu asked Bill Gates.
Damn. I had given up my rights in other areas and you all should not give me so much work. Furthermore, I had explained to Ballmer about the Chinese market.
Bill Gates frowned. He realized that the authority given to Feng Yu was initially was too small and it was also what Feng Yu wanted. But he was still glad to hear that Feng Yu will support him.
“Fine. Feng, if the company needs you, you must not disappoint us.” With one director interfering in the company’s operations, it will also be good for Bill Gates. He will want to wait for 2 more years for the Chinese market to be stable and he will kick Feng Yu out of the board of directors!
After hanging up, Feng Yu turned to Ralph. “Watch Microsoft closely. If the company have any latest products or technology, let me know immediately. Do you understand?”
“Yes, boss. I will monitor them. Do I have to monitor Amazon too?”
“No need. You can let Jeff manage Amazon and you do not need to interfere. You only need to watch the finances closely. Also, get in touch with all the minor shareholders. I want to acquire Amazon’s shares from them. If Jeff had approached them, we will give up.” If Jeff was not grateful to Feng Yu, then Feng Yu would make sure he regret for the rest of his life!
“I understand.”
“Oh, have Boeing reply? Didn’t they say helicopter modifications is fast? It’s been 3 days. Why is there no news yet?” Feng Yu asked unhappily.
Ralph was speechless. It’s helicopter modifications and your demands was also the same as custom building a helicopter. Even if it was modifying a car, 3 days was also too short.
“I will check and ask them to speed up.”
……
“Feng, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time.” Kirilenko gave Feng Yu a bear hug at New York’s airport. He saw Elena and wondered why Feng Yu brought her along.
Feng had said he wanted to meet my market analysts. Why did he bring her along? Women, to Kirilenko were only playthings. Even if Feng Yu likes that woman, he should just keep her at home. There’s no reason to bring her along.
Kirilenko had only come to the US for a short time, but he had already conquered 3 US movie stars. Although it was expensive, he felt proud to conquer them. It was like having the whole US under him!
“Where are we going now?” Feng Yu asked.
“Let’s eat first. I know a Chinese restaurant selling Beijing roast ducks. You are in the US for quite some time. I’m sure you miss Chinese food. I have asked my men to make a reservation.”
Feng Yu had a weird expression on his face. Was Kirilenko talking about Quanjude in Chinatown?
When they reach the restaurant, it was indeed Quanjude. Feng Yu laughed and shook his head.
“What’s wrong? Feng, you don’t like this restaurant? It is Chinatown in front and there are lots of Chinese restaurants. Let’s go there and see if there’s anything you like.” Kirilenko saw Feng Yu shaking his head and thought he was unhappy with this restaurant.
“Brother Ki, do you still remember that I told you I had invested in a restaurant?”
Kirilenko looked at Quanjude’s signboard and looked at Feng Yu. He asked. “This is the restaurant you invested?”
“Let’s go. In the future, you do not need to make any reservations if you want to dine here. I will pass you a VIP card later.” Feng Yu walked in front with Elena. She had been smiling since she met Feng Yu and had never expect Feng Yu to bring her to New York with him.
“Good evening sir, have you all made any reservations?” The waitress at the door asked in fluent English.
“Is your manager’s name Wang Zhiquan? Tell him Feng Yu is here.” Feng Yu replied in mandarin.
The waitress at the door did not know Feng Yu was one of the bosses of the restaurant. She saw this young man knows her manager by his name and knew he was from China by his accent. She thought he might know her manager personally.
Furthermore, this young man had bodyguards with him and arrived here in a luxury car.
“Mr. Feng, please wait a while. I will inform my floor manager.”
After a while, a plump man came running down the stairs. He extended both his hands towards Feng Yu. “Manager Feng, when did you come? You should have called me and I can receive you.”
When the floor manager informed Wang Zhiquan, he thought nothing about it. Why should he go out and meet a young man? But when he heard the young man’s name was Feng Yu, he jumped up from his seat and ran downstairs.
The rest of the staff in the restaurant does not know about Feng Yu. But all the managers of Quanjude knew Feng Yu was the biggest shareholder!
Manager Feng had come to New York to check on them? Wang Zhiquan had not received any news from the headquarters. His restaurant here was still doing well. Could it be that someone had stabbed him in the back?
“Old Wang, how come I feel you have put on weight again?” Feng Yu laughed. He had met Wang Zhiquan once in Beijing.
“Hahaha, lack of exercise.” Wang Zhiquan laughed.
“I have brought some friends with me to dine here. This is my best friend, Mr. Kirilenko, from Russia. He had tried to make reservations here and he told me that the restaurant is always full.” Feng Yu introduced Kirilenko to Wang Zhiquan.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Kirilenko. If you want to dine here in the future, just drop by. This is our restaurant’s VIP card. If I am not around, just show this card and you don’t need any reservations.” Without Feng Yu saying anything, Wang Zhiquan gave Kirilenko a VIP card.
Kirilenko took the card and passed it to his assistant. Wang Zhiquan had spoke too fast and Kirilenko does not understand at all.
After Kirilenko’s translator explained to him, he laughed. “I did not know Feng is a shareholder of this restaurant. I had made the right choice.”
Wang Zhiquan served the dishes personally. He even explained the various dishes and drank two glasses of alcohol before leaving the private room.
After leaving the room, Wang Zhiquan wiped his sweat off his forehead. The service today should be flawless. Manager Feng should be just passing by and was not here purposely to check on him.
As the restaurant manager of an overseas branch, Wang Zhiquan was getting higher salary than his counterparts back in China. Their salaries were based on the restaurant’s profits, and Americans were wealthy. This was also New York and this branch’s profit was more than triple of Beijing’s branch!
“Brother Ki, where is your company’s office located at?”
