Delta: The First Person at the Peak

Chapter 395 Following in the Footsteps of a Great Horse

After the letter of intent was signed, the property manager wisely refrained from further inquiries.

The entire office floor fell silent again.

The empty work area still bears traces of the previous company's departure.

A few old tables that hadn't been removed in time.

There were no clean sticky residue marks left on the wall from the sticky notes.

Outside the glass partition, sunlight streamed in obliquely from the window, illuminating the empty office area in a bright and quiet manner.

Jiang Feng stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the university campus not far away.

Fang Ningxue, holding the folder, had already subconsciously started arranging workstations in her mind.

Anke leaned against an old desk, took off her sunglasses, and quietly looked at the empty space on the entire floor.

Very strange.

There's absolutely nothing here yet. No customer service, no operations, no editing, no live streaming room, and not even the Zhengfeng Esports logo. Even the formal contract is still in the preliminary stages.

But as the three of them stood there, they all felt a sense of reality—this was not an ordinary office, but a business empire they were about to build themselves.

It is the cause they will strive for together in the future.

From a WeChat group chat, to a few tables pieced together, to a cramped room in a startup park, and now to an entire floor dedicated to Zhengfeng Esports' office space.

Though the time was short, the story was long.

Fang Ningxue said softly:

"If this area is actually renovated, the customer service area will probably be very noisy."

Anke looked at them and suddenly spoke:

"Jiang Feng, Ning Xue".

They both turned their heads at the same time.

Anke tapped her fingers lightly on the edge of the table, as if she had been pondering this for a long time, her expression unusually serious.

"I have something I want to discuss with you. I'd like to readjust the equity structure of Zhengfeng Esports."

Upon hearing this, Fang Ningxue was visibly taken aback, and Jiang Feng also raised an eyebrow slightly.

The current equity structure of Zhengfeng Esports was initially agreed upon by the three individuals.

River breeze 60%.

Encore 25%.

Fang Ningxue 15%.

At the time, this ratio seemed a bit problematic now, as Jiang Feng didn't have absolute control.

This is a potential problem. But it's also fair.

Jiang Feng needs no introduction; he is absolutely the core.

Anke brings traffic, resources, and funding.

Fang Ningxue is in charge of operations management.

But now, Zhengfeng Esports is no longer the small, makeshift operation it once was.

Monthly revenue is 200 million.

The pre-tax net profit was 15 million.

In the future, we also plan to work with livestreaming MCNs, tournaments, business development, and esports teams.

Equity is no longer just a matter of "let's all play together" among friends.

It started to have real weight.

Anke said in a low voice:

"I've thought about it seriously these past few days."

"Actually, it wasn't entirely my idea; my brother also reminded me of it."

She looked up at Jiang Feng, then at Fang Ningxue.

"The core reason why Zhengfeng Esports has come this far is very clear."

"The traffic belongs to Jiang Feng."

"The credit endorsement is Jiang Feng's."

"Ning Xue is the one who has built the management, customer service, after-sales, and support systems."

"Of course I also have a role to play."

"I can help find resources, make connections, generate some traffic, and contribute to many external matters."

"But to be honest, I now account for 25%, which is too much."

Fang Ningxue immediately said:

"Coco, you're not..."

Anke interrupted her.

"Ning Xue, let me finish speaking first."

She is usually very lively, and often speaks with a smile, as if she doesn't care about anything.

But at this moment, her tone was very steady.

It was even a little unlike the usual encore.

"I was indeed a bit impulsive when I invested in the company."

"At that time, I felt very happy to be able to work with you guys."

"I want to get involved too."

"But things are different now."

"Zhengfeng eSports has really grown up."

"More than ten million in profit per month, and possibly more in the future."

"It's not a hobby project, nor is it something I can just casually take a stake in and say 'I like it'."

She looked at Fang Ningxue with sincere eyes:

"Ning Xue, I've seen how much you've done during this time."

"Without you, Zhengfeng Esports wouldn't be able to handle the traffic brought by Jiang Feng."

"I can't just take 25% without feeling guilty and watch you stay up until the early hours every day."

Fang Ningxue pursed her lips.

"15% is already a lot for me."

"Not enough," Anke shook her head. "At least for now, it's not enough to match your contribution."

Jiang Feng didn't speak; he had already vaguely guessed what An Ke wanted to do.

Anke took a deep breath and presented his restructuring plan:

「我想从我这边转一部分股份出来。江风，你的股份从60%提高到67%；宁雪，从15%提高到20%。我自己保留13%。」

Fang Ningxue looked up abruptly: "Too many."

Jiang Feng frowned slightly: "Coco, there's no need to be in such a hurry."

"Absolutely necessary."

An Ke looked at Jiang Feng and spoke clearly: "What does 67% mean? My brother explained it to me very clearly—it means absolute control."

"If the company continues to expand in the future, and needs to raise funds, establish subsidiaries, build teams, and merge other assets, Jiang Feng must have absolute control over many major matters."

"Zhengfeng Esports cannot allow its equity to be too dispersed, which could lead to it being held hostage by capital or external shareholders in the future."

"You must be able to make the final decision."

That's very clear.

An Ke then looked at Fang Ningxue.

"As for Ning Xue."

"20% is not much."

"You are the true management core of Zhengfeng Esports."

"If the company grows larger in the future, it's unreasonable for you to only take 15%."

"And I don't want you to always feel like we're leading you around."

"You are not."

"You are one of the founders of Zhengfeng Esports."

Fang Ningxue lowered her eyes and remained silent for a moment.

Anke said softly:

"I'm not quitting."

"13% is a lot for me too."

"I will still provide resources and help others as needed in the future."

"But I can't take more than I've contributed."

"That's not good."

The empty office suddenly fell silent.

Jiang Feng looked at An Ke.

He certainly knew An Kehao before.

Straightforward.

warm.

sincere.

But at this moment, he saw another side of her.

She is not unaware of interests.

She simply chooses to keep the relationship a little cleaner, even when faced with the prospect of personal gain.

Fang Ningxue lowered her eyes, her emotions churning within them, and remained silent for a moment.

She can do her homework on office leasing.

You can research information in advance, make a budget, calculate workstations, and sort out the departmental structure.

You can consult teachers who have rented office space before, or ask outstanding graduates recommended by the dean.

You can gradually fill in the gaps in your own mind with the experience and common sense that others have spent years figuring out.

The professionalism she displayed today wasn't something she was born with.

It was achieved through several sleepless nights.

It was achieved while still working on the high-speed train, revising forms, checking contract terms, and addressing staff shortages.

Why is she working so hard?

Of course, it's to do what needs to be done well.

To put it more selfishly, it's for my own better future.

She started from a very low point.

The path before her was already one of the few clear and upward opportunities in her life.

He could ride on the coattails of a fine horse.

Jiang Feng is a pig riding the wind, and she is willing to be an inconspicuous firefly on Jiang Feng's tail.

She must catch her.

We need to run faster.

We must catch up with these two people as soon as possible.

But she really didn't expect that Anke would take the initiative to give up his profits at this time.

That's silly.

But it's also a great choice.

Especially since the three of them have been through this much together, many of their feelings are already quite clear.

They are not slow-witted people.

None of them are without pride.

However, some things have not yet been said, and some relationships remain in a seemingly balanced state.

Even if Jiang Feng might pretend to be deaf and dumb, or deliberately be oblivious to the romance.

Even though this state seems rather cute now.

But everyone knows that this balance won't stay in place forever.

There will definitely be an answer in the future.

An answer that not everyone can readily accept.

However, it was at this time that Ke Anke relinquished her shares.

This inexplicable kindness, so rare and even contrary to human nature, left Fang Ningxue suddenly at a loss.

Fang Ningxue's heart was in complete turmoil.

Without any preparation, life suddenly threw her a problem that was beyond her comprehension.

No information available.

There is no formula.

There was no contingency plan prepared in advance.

She didn't know how to answer.
