His Genius Wife Is A Superstar

Chapter 1430 Eccentric Billionaire

In order to keep the new CEO long-term and inspire loyalty, Iris made a decisive choice—she granted 5% shares of Phantom Dragon Funds to him.

This was one of the things she learned from Grandpa Lu. People would work harder when they knew that their own interests would be affected.

And it really worked.

Once he received the ownership certificate for the 5% shares, the CEO became even more motivated. If not for Iris' stern reminder not to put in unnecessary overtime, then he would probably live in his office and work all hours of the day.

Phantom Dragon Funds was only established very recently, and yet it already had stakes in various successful businesses not only in the domestic market but also internationally. Its aggressive acquisition of Long Industries' scattered shares wasn't viewed as anything special because Phantom Dragon Funds was also doing it to other companies.

However, many were skeptical about Phantom Dragon Funds' investment focus.

Others had noticed that it had also invested quite heavily in questionable technological start-up companies domestically and internationally that were considered too risky or even deemed impossible to make into fruition.

This led some analysts to guess that the true owner of the investment company might be an eccentric billionaire who had more money than he could spend, so he wanted to waste it on pursuing impossible dreams of fantasies by investing in ridiculous businesses.

These assumptions didn't faze Iris at all. She felt amused when she heard them. Those analysts' guesses were so far off the mark that she could only laugh.

Sure, she could already be considered a billionaire because she married one. Their pre-nuptial agreement made it so that once she married Jin Liwei, all of their wealth merged. Despite this, she still wanted to achieve global billionaire status in her own right without relying too much on her husband's ready-made assets.

As for being eccentric, well, that part was indeed correct.

She was a Cross Academy student after all. And there was a saying that all Cross Academy students were eccentrics in one way or another no matter how normal they appeared.

Iris pushed all of these random thoughts out of her mind.

She had a more important task to accomplish today. Jin Liwei kissed her cheek and instructed the others to take care of her before leaving to do his own thing.

Iris, Dom, and her bodyguards followed the new CEO of Phantom Dragon Funds to a conference room. The other staff members were already waiting inside. Dom and the bodyguards stayed outside near the door, ready to spring into action if Iris needed them.

Information about Phantom Dragon Funds being a company under Eve Holdings wasn't revealed to the public eye yet. Of course, if someone wanted to dig deeper, they were welcome to do so.

The big question was if they were capable enough to uncover it.

Because who was Iris Long?

She was a world-class genius hacker, not to mention that she had two powerful cat AI children always assisting her in doing whatever she wanted. Concealing any information was a piece of cake for this trio of powerful computer experts.

To mislead outsiders, she arranged it so that Phantom Dragon Funds was far away from Eve Holdings headquarters for now.

With Jin Liwei gone, Iris became the most powerful figure in the conference room. Her aura became even more imposing and even started to intimidate the new CEO and the staff.

The CEO took a deep breath and presented their progress to Iris so far. She nodded in satisfaction. The atmosphere relaxed for a bit, relieving the staff present.

"Elder Long Jufang has performed well in fulfilling his part of the deal," Iris said. "He has been helping out a lot in mediating between us and the other shareholders. Give him more benefits but not too much."

"Understood," the CEO replied.

"Now that Mao Textiles is bankrupt, it's like cutting off one of Long Hui's wings. We are now ahead in acquiring the scattered shares."

"We are," the CEO confirmed. He was now smiling, looking pleased with himself and his staff's achievements in following their big boss' orders.

She shot him a pointed look. "I want to be the majority shareholder of Long Industries. Make it happen."

The CEO hesitated for a moment, but determination flashed in his eyes. "I'll make it happen—no, WE'LL make it happen." He looked at each of his staff members straight in the eyes. "Am I right?"

"Yes, that's right!" the other staff members echoed.

The CEO's assistant knocked on the door. "President Long Tengfei of Long Industries has arrived ten minutes early for his appointment."

Everyone glanced at Iris.

She smiled. "He arrived rather early. How punctual of him. We shouldn't keep President Long Tengfei waiting for ten more minutes for his appointment. Let him in now."

The assistant executed her order. A few minutes later, Long Tengfei arrived with his long-time assistant, Cai Guang. They passed by the CEO's office.

Long Tengfei frowned and couldn't help but ask, "Hm? We aren't meeting your CEO today?"

The assistant gave him a polite yet mysterious smile. "Please don't worry, President Long. Our CEO is already waiting for you with our owner. They're looking forward to meeting you at our conference room." fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Long Tengfei was surprised but also pleased. He had also heard of many rumours about the eccentric billionaire owner of Phantom Dragon Funds. No matter how hard he tried to investigate, his people couldn't dig out the true identity of this new investment company's owner.

He even once suspected that the owner might be his youngest daughter, Long Xiulan, but he squashed the thought as soon as it appeared.

Looking at the latest investment decisions of Phantom Dragon Funds, he didn't think that his son-in-law, Jin Liwei, would allow his wife's company to make such reckless moves.

His son-in-law was known in the business world as a reliable and consistent leader. He wasn't the type to make any impulsive decisions like what Phantom Dragon Funds was doing.
