High School Belle Fell in Love with Me

Chapter 658: Chapter 280: Xue, Try Learning This Yourself

President Feng Xinli of Extreme Shadow Cars marveled at Li Yang’s energy.

This boss frequently has numerous tasks to decide on within the office system, often dozens and even hundreds each day.

In the past, he also had to attend school and was busy with other companies.

Now, even though he’s graduated, he has to play in esports tournaments.

Right after the tournament ended, within a few days he was already back at the company.

Extreme Shadow Cars is now a big company and not long ago established the Extreme Shadow Group, which has newly launched a mobile business.

The mobile business itself is not much easier than the automotive business, although the domestic supply chain is comprehensive enough, yet... Li Yang insists on unconventional paths.

President Feng Xinli doesn’t know much about the mobile business; the current head of the mobile business was poached from a high executive at Vivo.

He has met that executive, and the two have chatted several times at the group.

Both of them didn’t quite understand Li Yang’s strategy.

Firstly, the operating system for Extreme Shadow Phone is our own.

That system works fine for car infotainment systems, as there are not many apps used on them.

But put it on a phone? That presents huge problems.

Even though we spent a fortune developing Soaring Dragon versions of mainstream apps, there are far too many apps worldwide. Many people couldn’t download niche apps or apps with high specialization on their phones.

This severely affects user experience.

Another ridiculous point is, Li Yang actually went and signed a cooperation agreement with Hisilicon for Kirin 9000 and immediately ordered five million 4G chips.

Currently, Hisilicon is focusing on 5G chips, planning to implement them next year, while there is an overproduction of 4G chips in the market. Li Yang seems to be helping Hisilicon clear their inventory.

Five million pieces, when will they be sold? He dumped tens of billions like that, and Li Yang paid cash; the first batch of half a million pieces has already arrived, with the remaining required by next April.

At a glance, it all seems nonsensical.

The entire phone specs are not high; they are all models that users would regret buying this year.

Of course, the phone’s cost is around five thousand bucks; if it’s inferior, it won’t be by much.

It’s probably not much different from Mi’s flagship models; after all, they’re assembled products, and Kirin 9000 is not inferior to Snapdragon 855. Even if there are differences in other aspects, they are quite limited.

As far as overall smoothness is concerned, President Feng Xinli admits it is the smoothest phone he’s ever used, bar none.

Yet... using an Extreme Shadow Phone still makes him uneasy.

For example, when booking a flight, he prefers using 12306, but there’s currently no corresponding Soaring Dragon version. Related industry software, due to various reasons, hasn’t developed Soaring Dragon versions either, hence... travel booking apps, hotel booking apps, are developed by Extreme Shadow Group themselves, very rudimentary, and many services are still exploring stages. The team was just formed, totaling about thirty people.

President Feng Xinli entered Li Yang’s office and said, "Boss, our company has already reached an agreement with Musician, buying their site in Capital City for 2.5 billion. The money for this..."

"Let it be deferred, pay it next year. After that, take the team to inspect the Capital City site, get the basics ready before the year ends, and build two production lines after the new year."

"Okay."

President Feng Xinli, for his high salary, never voices any opinions.

As long as it’s a task Li Yang assigns, he carries it out without question.

Even though Extreme Shadow Cars has a bunch of external debts and Li Yang’s shares are almost diluted to nothing...

It has nothing to do with his annual salary of several tens of millions.

The site in Capital City isn’t small; if it were fully constructed, it could house at least eight production lines, which also means Extreme Shadow Cars will invest over 20 billion there.

As he was about to leave, Li Yang called out, "President Feng, there’s something I need to tell you."

"Boss, please go ahead."

"Someone in the team is receiving kickbacks from the supply chain. I’ve reported it to the police for evidence; they’ll come and arrest someone shortly. I hope President Feng won’t let this affect the work."

President Feng Xinli’s expression sharpened, hurrying to say, "This is my negligence for not managing my subordinates well; from now on, I will firmly tackle the issues of corruption."

"No need, no need. President Feng’s abilities shouldn’t be wasted on such trivialities."

...

A few minutes later, President Feng Xinli left.

The person Li Yang was investigating was someone from President Feng Xinli’s team, also a veteran of Extreme Shadow Cars.

Li Yang felt President Feng Xinli might know some things but didn’t consider them due to the old team.

So he specifically said this to President Feng Xinli, making his position clear.

Employees at Extreme Shadow Cars, whether management or regular employees, have salaries that are about 10% higher than those in the same industry, with full social security contributions paid at maximum.

Especially President Feng Xinli’s team, for recruiting talent back then, a total of 500 million was paid out.

Fortunately, the supplier involved this time was only a small manufacturer, and the funds involved were merely a few billion.

Li Yang has already decided to terminate the contract, as small manufacturers are easy to find replacements for.

But this matter must be announced internally at the company to avoid such incidents occurring again in the future.

All companies under Li Yang use the same office system.

Because it’s a new company, everything runs smoothly.

Unlike those large groups established for ten to twenty years, internally tangled with entrenched interests, with various relatives holding key positions, implementing new office systems is very difficult.

At most, they might develop a system specifically for frontline clerical staff; management, forget it.

If everything turns transparent, everything requires data, how could management make money?
