Chapter 426: Celebrating the Championship (Part 1)

The company was expanding, with more servers and switches being added, making it a trend to change to a new office space before the end of the year.

Li Jianjun and Wang Yang had once invited Zhao Qingfeng, hoping to move Lingfeng Technology to Erlunsi.

Including the CEO of Qingyang Sports, who also had this intention, especially after having contacted Jack Ma’s side, the e-commerce platform was about to go online, and they were particularly thankful to Zhao Qingfeng.

However, Zhao Qingfeng rejected all offers, not just because of the feeling of being under someone else’s roof, but also because they did not know how big Lingfeng Technology’s future office would be. Even the coal mine building they currently wanted to acquire was only for the sake of securing several years’ worth of demolition compensation. The entire building would be rebuilt into a professional machine room after demolition, and the office space would also be rebuilt at an opportune time, most likely not in the provincial city but rather in Beijing or Shanghai.

Marina had previously negotiated, but the price could not be lowered.

The ten-story coal mine building, with a total area of 13,000 square meters, was priced at 40 million.

In fact.

Purchasing it for 40 million was not expensive at all, but rather a huge bargain.

Because a few years later, when the southern part of the provincial city was designated as a new development zone, all land prices would multiply several times, and the coal mine building, situated right at the center of the south, with developed transportation and an excellent location, would not be sold for 40 million, but for 400 million or even at least 1 billion in the future.

But Marina couldn’t negotiate it, the coal mine company’s boss was very firm.

No matter who it was, the asking price was 40 million, and the more times Marina went, the more he thought about raising the price.

Zhao Qingfeng took over the matter, “I’ll go negotiate the day after tomorrow, and I’ll give you a new task.”

Tencent has been recruiting recently. Knowing the enemy and knowing oneself ensures victory in a hundred battles, so Zhao Qingfeng planned to send an undercover agent into Tencent to understand their future movements and trends.

But this was not a simple issue, as the choice of person was very important.

If they ended up losing what they tried to gain and were discovered and counteracted by Penguin, not only would Lingfeng Technology’s information be leaked, but it would also impact public opinion.

“Who to choose?”

Marina had several candidates in mind, but they were all from the company, and Tencent was recruiting interns, which would inevitably give them away.

But there were no reliable newcomers, and although the company was always hiring, there were no suitable candidates.

“No rush.”

Zhao Qingfeng just wanted to draft this plan for now, as Tencent’s recruitment announcement indicated it would continue until the end of the year.

He asked Marina to look for candidates, and the next morning, he returned to school with Shen Lingyao and Li Ping.

The entire Ji Province University was buzzing.

Just at the school entrance, one could see a red carpet laid out, banners flying, and several hot air balloons floating in the air, with slogans such as “Welcome back our heroes” and “Celebrating our school’s championship victory.”

The top leader of the Education Bureau personally attended the event.

Leaders from the city also came upon hearing the news.

A bunch of reporters had set up their cameras early and were waiting.

The moment Zhao Qingfeng got out of the car, they swarmed up, with flashlights flashing non-stop and microphones almost hitting Zhao Qingfeng’s mouth.

“Uh…”

Zhao Qingfeng briefly answered two questions and then directed the reporters to Li Ping, “For more details, let my senior answer them. After all, the two of us worked together, and he can provide more detailed and exciting answers.”

Of course, he wouldn’t answer professional questions.

This was also a trial and opportunity that Zhao Qingfeng gave to Li Ping.

Everyone needs the support of courage and confidence.

Li Ping had prepared thoroughly the night before and answered very well. It was visible to the naked eye that this previously not so confident senior had undergone a huge change in mentality after joining Lingfeng Technology.

“Li Ping is doing well…”

“That’s right, having won the championship, his confidence has surged.”

“But why does he look at Zhao Qingfeng every time he answers a question?”

“Do you need to ask? The person who insisted on participating has always been Zhao Qingfeng. He is the big boss behind the scenes, and Senior Li is just a spokesperson. But still, I envy him…”
