Extraordinary Genius Chapter 959 – Meet in 1998

“Come, come, meet in ’98… come, come, meet in 1998…”

Na Ying and Faye Wong were performing this cla.s.sic song on the stage, and Feng Yu is enjoying himself. Only these two singers can perform this song perfectly.

Li Na was beside Feng Yu and looked at him speechlessly. I know you had written this song, but do you have to be so engrossed in it?

The 1998 New Year’s Eve Gala Dinner is still telecast live, but there are more regulations now. The live spectators are not allowed to shout slogans or bring placards. But CCTV cannot regulate the spectators’ attire. What’s wrong with wearing their company’s uniform

The award ceremony had become fair, and Feng Yu stopped using this ceremony to promote his companies. He allowed those companies that are outstanding to win awards, and this award had become China’s most prestigious business awards.

Maybe this is also because Feng Yu’s companies do not need to use this method for promotion. All the companies Feng Yu invested, are now the leaders in their respective industries. Some are even top-tier companies globally.

But Feng Yu’s companies are still far from being the best in the world.

In the past few years, Feng Yu had been developing the automobile, electronics, beverages, pharmaceutical, and internet technology industries. Other than the internet technology, Feng Yu’s companies in these industries are based in China, and they are considered the market leaders.

Regardless of whether if Feng Yu has the controlling shares or just a stake in the companies, all his decisions will surely be approved. But Feng Yu is lazy to manage the companies, as he will still get profits even if it is someone managing the companies. Feng Yu will prefer to let his men run his companies, or else, why is he paying them high salaries, bonuses, and shares?

Although Feng Yu’s companies will not be listed anytime soon, the companies are still giving out dividends yearly. Some of the higher management staff, who had made significant contributions, were rewards with some shares, and their bonuses are several times their salary.

Feng Yu’s companies’ higher management staff are already getting the highest pay in China, and even 99.9% of foreign companies’ staff are getter lesser than them. This is not including the shares they own.

Many people from other companies wish to enter Feng Yu’s companies. They are all working for others, and of course, they want to get higher salaries. Furthermore, they might also be rewarded with the companies’ shares, and they can be one of the shareholders!

Feng Yu’s companies are attracting a lot of talents. Managers, developers, researchers, and even marketing elites had joined, and his companies have a good reserve of talented staff.

This is one of Feng Yu’s requirements for his companies. An elite staff can give him returns several times of his salary. It’s not a problem to give them higher salaries, shares, etc.

After the song ended, everyone cheered.

The host started his speech, and a man dressed in a suit stood up and waved to the audience.

“Thank you, motherland… thank you, the judging committee… I would like to thank every employee of the company. Without you all, I will not get the chance to stand here. This honor belongs to every one of you and me…”

Dong Xuebing looked at the man on the stage. “Who had written this thank you speech for him? Why is he speaking like those celebrities? Thank you for this, thank you for that… thank you, leaders, parents, etc. where did he learn this from?”

Li Na whispered into Feng Yu’s ears. “Your people had said similar things when they were on the stage previous. Did they learn from you?”

Feng Yu’s widen his eyes. Had they all learned from him? That’s right. I was the one who vetted their thank you speech initially.

“I am trying to say that he is very sincere. Without his parents, he will not exist. Without the leaders taking care of him, his company will not grow. Without his employees’ support, how can his company develop? His speech is too good! We must clap louder!”

Li Na: “……” Your att.i.tude changed too fast!

“Whatever!”

“Let’s watch the performance.” Feng Yu smiles.

“How come your companies did not win any award?”

“I am giving the others a chance. If my companies partic.i.p.ate, these companies can only watch from the spectators stand.” Feng Yu replied proudly.

“Are you feeling embarra.s.sed for fixing the results in the past?” Li Na could guess what Feng Yu is thinking from one look at him.

“Nonsense. This award is fair. When we started this award, who say my companies are not qualified? Now, without us partic.i.p.ating, the rest of the companies are about the same standard. Those that did not win anything are p.i.s.sed.”

Feng Yu is not boasting. The nominated companies and the winners are about the same standard in terms of scale, growth, and contributions to society. Each one of them can be the winner and those that had not won raised complaints.

The winners of this year’s award ceremony are not fixed. They were chosen by a panel of judges, and many companies had lost by one vote. Some categories even have to go through the second round of voting as there are no clear winners in the first round!

Fairness is always relative. But if the companies were to take turns to win the awards, it will be unfair to them. The winners are better in certain areas, and they deserve the award.

Most of the winners this year are Feng Yu’s friends. Liu Yong is one of them. His Guangcai Program is developing very well.

Feng Yu is also planning to set up his first Crystalline silicon factory in the Western Qing He province.

To set up a factory there, Feng Yu still must build roads and increased his cost.

But once the roads are built, Feng Yu can build a gigantic industrial park there. The labor cost there is also cheaper, and he can still improve the economy there.

“Didn’t you write this song for them to perform on Spring Festival Gala night? What will they be singing then?”

“They can still sing this song. Didn’t you notice that the audience love it? I dare to say that even if they sang the same song again, the audience would still love it. This song suits this occasion.”

Feng Yu does not remember so many songs that fit different occasions. This song is the only song he can remember. Furthermore, he had written this song for his own enjoyment.

“Just continue boasting. Sing the same song twice?! Who will sing the same song again at a function?”

“That is because I did not say anything. If I want, they will sing it again!”

“Fine… fine… fine… Alright. I believe you.” Li Na tried to hold back her laughter.

Feng Yu: “……” You don’t believe what I said! Seems like I will need to teach you a lesson tonight. Two times… no! Three times!
