Guo Yue left Feiteng Investment Company.
Immediately, he resigned from all nominal positions in the company's investment industry, completely severing ties with Feiteng Investment.
From this moment on, he also withdrew from the circle centered around Gao Fei.
All contact with everyone in the company was cut off.
In the office.
"What was Guo Yue thinking, not working diligently under you and earning clean money, but instead getting involved in the auction for Paradise and Underworld."
Jin Qiqi had already learned about Old Guo's situation and was very puzzled.
"Everyone has their own aspirations!"
Gao Fei smiled and asked, "By the way, didn't you say several media outlets wanted to interview me? How many exactly?"
"On the nineteenth, there are five local media outlets scheduled for interviews: Kyoto Television Station, Magic City Television Station, Yun Province Media Center, Shencheng Television Station, and Ba City Television Station.
In addition, there are three online media outlets. I have screened and reviewed them all, and none of them are gossip media in disguise."
Jin Qiqi leaned back in her chair, took a breath, and continued, "I've also arranged the scheduled times and locations. It will start tomorrow morning at nine.
The first media outlet is Kyoto Television Station..."
As a professional agent, she didn't need to take notes; all arrangements were stored in her mind.
After listening to tomorrow's schedule, Gao Fei took out his phone and made a call to prepare for tomorrow's interview.
After he finished the call, Wang He happened to arrive at the company.
The two exchanged greetings, a few playful insults, and then re-signed the amended lease agreement.
After the commercial plaza shops were finalized, Wang He couldn't help but ask, "By the way, you mentioned on the phone that you had other things to discuss with me?"
"I want to buy the novel website you invested in before."
"If you want it, I'll just give it to you for free. I don't care about the money, I'm not lacking it anyway!"
Young Master Wang responded generously.
Gao Fei was also surprised by Wang He's generosity, offering to give him the website for free.
However, he waved his hand and refused, saying, "Brother Wang, the operational model of your novel website and your channel partnerships are already mature. You also invested a considerable amount of money in the website's development.
We are friends, and I wouldn't cheat you.
You hold eighty percent of the shares, right? How about this: you sell me ten shares for one hundred thousand yuan each, and I'll take all your shares.
Then, I'll give you a twenty percent profit-sharing stake, and you'll continue to be the person in charge of the website. Besides the profit-sharing dividends, you'll also have a base salary and commissions..."
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Wang He waved his hand in annoyance and interrupted, "What you mean is, you'll buy all my shares for eight hundred thousand yuan, and then give me twenty percent, plus a base salary and commission, and I'll continue to work for you."
"Brother Wang is indeed smart!"
Gao Fei grinned.
"Get out of here, you brat! I can sell you the shares, but working for you? Don't even think about it!"
Wang He didn't say anything further, stood up, and said, "I'll have my lawyer come over later to sign the share transfer agreement with you. As for working for you, forget about it, you little brat!"
After speaking, he quickly walked out of the office, as if afraid that if he lingered any longer, this kid would snatch up all his other investments.
Gao Fei watched his retreating back and whispered to Jin Qiqi, "Just you wait, Old Wang will end up working for me sooner or later."
"I'm your agent, so I'll be his boss from now on?"
"Exactly!"
After some lighthearted banter, Jin Qiqi mentioned Hank, who was about to arrive in Dragon Country.
"Hank will arrive in Dragon Country the day after tomorrow. Do we need to arrange a car to pick him up?"
"Given Hank's fame, how many people do you think will show up to pick him up the day after tomorrow?"
"Probably half the movie industry will be mobilized."
"So, we don't need to pick him up. He's coming to cooperate with me, so we'll wait for him to contact us actively!"
Gao Fei replied casually and found the phone number of his senior, Chen Guowei, and dialed it.
As soon as the call connected, he heard his senior congratulate him with a laugh, "Congratulations boss, for obtaining a new identity, stepping from the entertainment and business circles into the research circle.
And thank you, boss, for your contributions to our country."
"Senior, you've changed, you're starting to flatter me!"
"It's not that you're paying me more, but I've suddenly become enlightened!"
After a bit of casual chat, Gao Fei first inquired about the progress and test results of Tengxin's chat software, and then said, "Senior, please come to the company. I have something I need you to handle."
"Now?"
"Yes, it's about the promotion of our chat software."
"I'll be there immediately!"
....
The next day.
Gao Fei followed his usual routine of morning jogs and exercises.
After breakfast, he changed into the suit prepared by Jin Qiqi and then took a car to the Delai Hotel.
At nine o'clock, Gao Fei began his morning of interview appointments.
Eight media outlets, excluding meal times, it took him over five hours to handle them all.
After the interviews, he drove alone to Tengxin Technology Company to prepare for the upcoming launch of Tengxin's chat software.
At 4 PM.
On the three major social platforms, the news about the civilian navigation system was still pinned to the top of the trending searches.
After a day and a night, the news's popularity exceeded five hundred million and was still climbing. The discussion topics exceeded one hundred million and were also continuously increasing.
The popularity and number of discussion topics for the civilian navigation news had set a new record for the three major social platforms since their inception.
Meanwhile, the trending search term related to Gao Fei as the chief system engineer had dropped from first to eighth.
His popularity had approached two hundred million and was now around one hundred million, with over fifty million discussion topics.
Since his explosion in popularity online, his current popularity and number of discussion topics were also new records.
In the topic community.
Comments from haters were rarely seen. Most were congratulations and encouragement from fans and general netizens.
The few hateful comments that were visible were scolding Gao Fei for shamelessly advertising himself through exclusive interview segments.
In short, among the fifty million+ discussion topics, positive comments were the majority.
At 5 PM.
Gao Fei's trending searches had fallen out of the top ten.
However, the news of him accepting an exclusive interview today suddenly surged.
In less than half an hour, it had already climbed into the top twenty trending searches.
The keyword for the new trending search was 'Gao Fei Discusses Future Development'.
After all, he was now a hot celebrity online. When netizens saw the new trending search appear, they clicked to check it out.
In the trending searches, there were interview videos released by three online media outlets.
The content of the videos was largely similar, except for the interview locations.
During the interview, the first question was:
"Mr. Gao, now that you have joined the national research ranks, will you still be participating in other research projects?"
"Of course I will participate, but I cannot reveal what projects."
Gao Fei smiled elegantly at the camera.
The reporter asked again, "I heard you invested in a technology company. Can you reveal the projects the company is developing?"
Netizens watching the video thought Gao Fei would take this opportunity to advertise his company's projects.
But they saw him shaking his head and laughing in the video, "This is a company secret and cannot be revealed at this time!"
Hearing his answer, the netizens were stunned.
Was this still the Gao Fei they knew?
The reporter implicitly allowed him to advertise, but he refused citing confidentiality.
Gao Fei's refusal immediately made thousands of haters uncomfortable.
Not to mention the haters, even fans and general netizens were a little unaccustomed.
Because Comrade Xiao Gao was too serious.
After Gao Fei politely declined to discuss the technology company's projects, the interviewer skipped the topic and proceeded to ask about the development of the investment company's other projects.
In over five minutes.
Gao Fei spoke broadly about the cities the milk tea shops would be expanding into, the cities where Honeycomb Stations would develop, the products the design studio would collaborate with, and the industries he was preparing to invest in.
While watching, netizens found it difficult to bear with Gao Fei's serious answers.
Every ten seconds or so, just as they were about to close the video, a line of text would appear on the screen.
"Please continue watching, there's a big surprise, it's extremely shocking!"
Seeing the reminder on the video, netizens could only patiently continue watching.
After watching the official five-minute and thirty-second interview, there was still half of the interview video left to be played.
Just as netizens were preparing to close the boring interview video, a reporter's question made everyone prick up their ears.
"Mr. Gao, can you tell us about the monthly income of your investment company?"
Netizens were always interested in anything related to money, especially when it involved Gao Fei's investment company.
Hearing the question, Gao Fei adjusted his collar and said, "Let's put it this way: excluding the stable monthly income from the milk tea shops, other projects started generating revenue in May and June.
In July, after deducting expenses, Feiteng Investment Company's total revenue was ninety million yuan."
Upon learning the total income, the reporter was stunned for a moment, then quickly regained professionalism and composure.
As for the netizens watching the video, some were surprised, some were confused, and some were disbelieving...
Most of them didn't believe it!
After all, Gao Fei's investment activities had been widely publicized.
Given his business acumen, two-thirds of the netizens didn't believe the investment company's revenue was only ninety million yuan.
In fact, the ninety million yuan Gao Fei mentioned was indeed the total revenue for July.
Tengxin Technology Company's chat software had not yet been released, and the cosmetics market was still in its preliminary stages.
The only profitable ventures were the milk tea shops, the design studio, and the Honeycomb Stations.
And out of the ninety million yuan in revenue, Honeycomb Stations accounted for two-thirds.
In the eyes of netizens, with Gao Fei's fame, the total revenue from his investment projects should easily exceed one hundred million yuan per month.
Now that they learned it was only ninety million, they found it hard to believe.
Just as everyone was hesitating whether to close this seemingly fabricated interview, the reporter's next question piqued their interest again.
"Now that Mr. Gao has informed us about the current situation of his investment company, can Mr. Gao reveal whether new movies, new songs, or the like will be released in the second half of the year?"
The reporter's latest question made the netizens watching the video regain their patience.
Gao Fei smiled gently at the camera and said, "As for songs, I don't have any plans for now.
As for new movies... you might have heard rumors that the world-renowned screenwriter Mr. Hank is about to arrive in Dragon Country, and I might collaborate with him on something."
"Can Mr. Gao reveal what specific movie you will be collaborating on?"
At this moment, when netizens saw the grin on Gao Fei's face, they all became excited.
Damn it, this kid is finally going to advertise!
