Stronger by Paying Salaries and I Have 1 Billion Employees

Liu Zhiping suddenly choked. He quickly covered his mouth and nose, turned to the side, and coughed a few times. His face turned beet red, and it took him a moment to recover before saying, ”Isn’t Zuckerberg eight years older than Chen Yansen?”

”Well, Chen Yansen’s net worth is higher than his.”

Ma Wenteng shrugged. His mind drifted to Song Yuncheng, who was always by Chen Yansen’s side, and he sighed inwardly. ’That kid would make a fine son-in-law, but it seems he already has a girlfriend.’

BZZZ BZZZ BZZZ—!

Just as Liu Zhiping was about to speak, the phone in his pocket started vibrating. He pulled it out and was surprised by what he saw.

He wasn’t surprised that Li Yanhong was calling, but rather that the call had taken this long.

According to his and Ma Wenteng’s predictions, Li Yanhong should have caved sometime after mid-October.

Anyone else might have gone a few more rounds with Chen Yansen and burned through several billion more. But Li Yanhong was different. He had an extremely low tolerance for new projects. If one didn’t turn a profit within six months, the project—and its director—would be eliminated.

This was the main reason Liu Zhiping was so sure Li Yanhong would admit defeat.

”It’s Li Yanhong,” Liu Zhiping explained to Ma Wenteng, placing his phone flat on the desk.

”Robin couldn’t take it anymore. Answer it. Let’s see what he has to say,” Ma Wenteng replied without hesitation, adjusting his glasses by pushing them up.

Liu Zhiping grunted in acknowledgment, tapped the answer button, and then pressed the speakerphone icon.

”Martin, there’s something I need to trouble you with,” Li Yanhong said, getting straight to the point.

In his mind, since Penguin was Fast Taxi’s third-largest shareholder, they would naturally want to end the subsidy war as soon as possible. It would be a good thing for everyone involved.

”Robin, why don’t you tell me what’s on your mind,” Liu Zhiping said, feigning ignorance.

”I’d like Mr. Ma to act as a mediator so I can sign a formal agreement with Chen Yansen to end the subsidy war,” Li Yanhong replied.
