Becoming a Billionaire From Awakening a System

Chapter 321: Chapter 320: Starting the Training with His Own Sister

”Wow, Xiaoman...”

”I never realized your brother had this kind of talent.”

”He never talks my ear off at home or shares this much with me.”

”If he told me he got his start in a pyramid scheme, I’d believe him. The way he just lays out one life philosophy after another... it’s just so stunning.”

Su Ruoxi was truly seeing the boyfriend she spent every day with in a new light.

After all, to deliver such a speech with so much sincerity, and in a tone with such perfect cadence that it got everyone around him fired up...

...required not just a mastery of language, but also a certain charisma and approachability.

These were all qualities Lin Feng happened to have continuously cultivated after obtaining the system, honing them through one major event after another.

”I never expected my brother to be so eloquent either! Oh my god!”

For the first time, Lin Xiaoman was genuinely looking at her brother with the starry eyes of a fangirl.

Her brother, standing there and radiating wisdom, looked exactly like the kind of successful man that countless girls dreamed of.

”Alright, stop teasing me.”

”Xiaoman is about to go solo and carve out a niche for herself.”

”For the most part, you’ll need to manage your own life and career. While I can help, I’m still a major shareholder in Douhu.”

”So, when it comes to the company’s business, the most I can do is give you some advice.”

”But I can’t give you any real, direct guidance. As a shareholder, I need to avoid any conflict of interest. Otherwise, your Streamer Alliance won’t be impartial.”

Lin Feng knew all too well that for a guild-like alliance, the biggest taboo was having companies or individuals from within the industry get involved.

The slogan Lin Xiaoman had put forward was just too powerful: to protect the rights of streamers. And who was it that was infringing on streamers’ rights?

Aside from some viewers who tipped, it was mostly the talent agencies.

As both a talent agency and a streaming platform, Douhu was a key industry player and a market leader.

If anyone discovered that the Streamer Alliance had an overly close relationship with Douhu...

...then the future would become very unpredictable.

It might even be seen as a conspiracy.

People would wonder if the Lin Brothers and Sisters were trying to join forces to dominate the entire streaming industry.

Monopolies might exist everywhere, but if one was exposed so blatantly, it would surely face a backlash from everyone—from the government and society to every single person who gives tips.

So Lin Feng was seriously considering whether he should set up a separate entity on the side.

A venture capital firm, for example.

Then he could use that firm to invest in Lin Xiaoman’s Streamer Alliance and become its major shareholder.

However, these commercial maneuvers were still just in the brainstorming phase for Lin Feng.

After all, if Douhu could genuinely get involved with the Streamer Alliance, it would be a huge boost for promoting Douhu’s corporate culture.

If he or Lin Xiaoman truly had the ability to balance the relationship between the two entities...

...then he wouldn’t need to go through all this trouble.

”But if you really can’t get involved in or guide the management of Lin Xiaoman’s future alliance...”

”...then she’s bound to face a lot of setbacks. I’m even afraid the streamers around her might team up to overthrow her.”

Su Ruoxi’s brow furrowed deeply.

This was no small matter.

Especially for a green young girl to suddenly become the head of such an influential alliance, responsible for coordinating everything.

Without a veteran to guide her, the stumbles and falls she was bound to take could ruin her entire career.

It could even cause Lin Xiaoman to lose all faith in the industry.

She could end up miserable and depressed for the rest of her life!

”He’s right, Brother!”

”I have absolutely no confidence in myself right now. I don’t know how to build an organizational structure, nor do I understand how to distribute equity.”

”I can follow your advice and hire a group of capable people to assist me, but managing those elites requires certain skills too.”

Lin Xiaoman was really starting to get cold feet.

’I’m not exactly a genius myself, so how am I supposed to manage other talented people?’

Especially the top executives in the industry—they were arrogant, and their glittering résumés were something Lin Xiaoman felt she could never compare to.

”It’s actually fine. When it comes to managing them, you just need to use a few techniques.”

”Just remember: be stricter and more demanding with those closest to you, and be more enthusiastic with those who are more distant, especially the frontline sales and operations staff.”

This was Lin Feng’s philosophy: familiarity breeds respect from a distance, while proximity demands it up close.

If people around you get too comfortable after a while, they might start seeing you as just ’one of the guys’ and lose their respect. They might even poke you in the ribs in public, call out ”Hey, Lin Feng,” and crack a joke.

They might not think it’s a big deal, but it can put you in a really awkward position and make you lose face!

On the other hand, you might not even see the more distant people, like frontline employees, once a year.

So every time you do meet, you have to show 200% enthusiasm and care.

Let everyone know, ’Even though we’re on the front lines and we never see the boss all year, she’s still thinking about us!’

However, these principles were easier said than done.

Especially for a sensitive young woman like Lin Xiaoman.

Seeing Lin Xiaoman’s knitted brow and lost expression, Lin Feng also frowned. He pressed his hands to his temples to soothe his budding headache.

”Hmm... Alright.”

”Let’s do this then. I’ll go register a venture capital firm, and your Streamer Alliance will be its first venture partner.”

”That way, on the surface, the Streamer Alliance will have no connection to Douhu, and I can guide you on certain matters without any issue.”

”That’s amazing!”

The weight that had been pressing on Lin Xiaoman’s heart finally lifted.

”But my help now isn’t a freebie. It’s to train you to take charge of a company as quickly as possible.”

”You still need to be the one making the decisions on all company matters, big and small. And if I don’t think something requires my intervention, I will definitely stay out of it, so be prepared!”

After all, Lin Feng wasn’t just thinking about helping Lin Xiaoman handle company affairs.

More importantly, he wanted Lin Xiaoman to grow and become independent.

Most importantly, he wanted his sister to overcome her dependence on him as much as possible.

Because sometimes, the word ”dependence” could be replaced by another, more chilling word: ”shackles”!

Lin Feng was now realizing that Lin Xiaoman seemed to be overly dependent on him.

And some of his own words and actions had been unintentionally holding back her development.

Of course his own sister had a mind of her own. Especially during her confrontation with Douhu’s previous upper management, Lin Xiaoman had shown astonishing leadership and an ability to sway public opinion.

And this was something a young woman, who had always been sheltered from the world, had accomplished on her own.

Although Lin Feng had provided guidance at some key steps, he had never taught Lin Xiaoman word for word how to handle these things.

And she had done it so well, even under such intense pressure.

Moreover, Lin Xiaoman had played the most critical role throughout the entire confrontation.

So, from any perspective, Lin Xiaoman clearly had potential. Especially in terms of leadership, with a little nurturing and more experience, she showed signs of being able to surpass even him.

This was his own sister!

Lin Feng absolutely did not want his sister to become an ignorant and incompetent girl who only knew how to hide behind him.

While that would guarantee Lin Xiaoman a life of financial security, where every day was safe, it would gradually turn her into a useless person.

Outsiders might not dare to say anything, since she was Lin Feng’s sister, but that didn’t mean Lin Xiaoman herself wouldn’t feel that way. Even Lin Feng would find it hard to avoid the issue.

What is excellence? It’s being stronger than others.

What is a lasting legacy?

It’s your siblings, and even your next generation, being stronger than others!

Right now, Lin Feng didn’t just want to become the most capable and outstanding person in Huaxia.

He also wanted his family to become a great family with a lasting legacy.

Therefore, it wasn’t just about Lin Feng’s personal abilities. He needed to ensure his family members, and even his future descendants, grew to become pillars of the nation.

He wanted them to have impressive achievements in every field and the strength to overcome any opponent they faced!

And so, the first person he had to start nurturing was his own sister!
