Chapter 299 - 299 CPU Failure_l
Jiang Xu: “Nuonuo, you have to be brave enough to try all sorts of things you’ve never tried before.”
An Nuonuo shook her head: “No, I’m scared.”
Jiang Xu: “Don’t worry, with me here, there’s no need to be afraid.”
An Nuonuo: “I can’t do it, Brother Xu, I… I don’t want to…”
Jiang Xu: “In one’s life, you have to bravely forge ahead. How can you stop just because of a little unknown and pain?”
An Nuonuo: “You’re brainwashing me, you bad brother, I’m not talking to you anymore.”
Jiang Xu:
Watching An Nuonuo cover her head with a blanket and turn her back to him, Jiang Xu was speechless.
After talking for so long, dry-mouthed, this girl wasn’t swayed in the slightest.
CPU failure.
Alas, it seems the road ahead is still long and challenging.
Indeed, opening up a new track is not such a simple task.
The next day at noon, Jiang Xu received a message.
His self-constructed building had been sold.
The price was higher than he had expected, 106 million!
But that wasn’t exaggerated.
After all, it was a thirty-story building, and the real estate market was incredibly hot right now.
A slight premium was nothing; there were plenty of buyers.
The money earned from selling the building did not incur much tax.
After taxes, he still had over ninety-six million in hand.
Jiang Xu transferred it all to the company’s account first.
Unexpectedly, just as the money was transferred, Lu Chao called.
“Big brother, we’ve almost spent the first investment…”
“What did you say?” Jiang Xu was stunned: “My two hundred million investment is gone in less than a month?”
“Ah, money goes quickly in this business.” Lu Chao said helplessly: “I haven’t embezzled a single penny, you can send someone to audit the accounts at any time.”
Jiang Xu: “Alright, I’ll have someone audit the accounts right away.”
The speed of money being spent made Jiang Xu’s heart skip a beat.
He had to verify that everything was clear.
Jiang Xu sent a few trusted employees to audit the accounts immediately.
Then he opened up the stock market.
Seeing several stocks in the green, Jiang Xu sold them all, though with pain.
Long ago, Jiang Xu had bought stocks in Penguin and Maotai.
Two offerings, he had invested over a hundred million in each.
So far, Penguin stocks had increased by 200%.
Maotai stocks had risen by 180%.
Excluding the cost, he had earned over five hundred million.
If it weren’t for the urgent need for cash, Jiang Xu would have hated to sell.
After all, holding on to these two stocks for a few years, the return could be over 1000%.
Once he had more cash on hand, he would have to buy them back again.
Selling over one hundred million in stocks still caused some disturbance.
It led to a slight drop in the price of both stocks.
In the afternoon, the people Jiang Xu sent to audit returned to report.
They brought bills and some data.
There were no issues, the money was spent where it should have been.
Fortunately, Jiang Xu hadn’t set up too much at the beginning; his foundation was still solid.
So now, it wasn’t a fatal blow.
The next investments had to be made with more caution.
At the very least, having a few billion in cash on hand was necessary to continue the layout.
Then Lu Chao called again.
He said the second investment needed three billion.
Jiang Xu accepted the request.
The next day, he could withdraw the money from the stock market.
Jiang Xu then added another billion to the company’s account, and also wired three billion to Lu Chao for the investment.
Suddenly, he only had slightly over three billion left in his hands.
And Jiang Xu estimated that even this money couldn’t last very long.
Could it be time to write novels again?
Forget it, it hasn’t come to that just yet.
There are still a few days until National Day.
Over the past few days, Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo worked together to help upgrade the Nuomimi Novel’s APP.
After the upgrade, it was smoother and included some new features.
It significantly improved the user experience.
On the afternoon of September 30th, Jiang Xu, An Nuonuo, Fu Yanjie, and Zhang Yuanyuan took the high-speed train back to Jiang City.
Fu Yanjie’s family had prepared everything.
After returning, he would just need to put on his groom’s attire tomorrow and follow the procedures.
All the way back, Fu Yanjie was extremely excited.
Zhang Yuanyuan, on the other hand, clasped her hands tightly together, looking very nervous.
An Nuonuo gently reassured her by her side.
This was normal.
Many people get nervous before their wedding.
After a few hours’ journey, they arrived back in Jiang City.
Although they hadn’t been gone long, coming back still felt like a world of change.
Everywhere they looked, infrastructure and major projects were being developed rapidly, changing day by day.
It gave off a feeling of vitality and a positive spirit bubbling up.
Jiang Xu couldn’t help but spread his arms wide.
In this era, gold was everywhere.
In fact, he had a very bold idea deep inside.
However, before having enough strength, it wasn’t something he could consider.
Otherwise, a single misstep could lead to irreversible ruin.
He would see about it later.
First, they needed to drop Zhang Yuanyuan off at her home.
An Nuonuo stayed behind as she was one of the bridesmaids.
Jiang Xu went home with Fu Yanjie.
Fu Yanjie’s home was decorated with immense joy, inside and out.
Jiang Xu looked around and nodded in silence.
Fu Xinghan had provided all the grandeur that was due.
This was also a form of recognition for Zhang Yuanyuan as their daughter-in – law.
“Good evening, Uncle and Auntie,” Jiang Xu greeted as soon as he entered.
“Haha, Jiang Xu, you’re here! Come, have a seat,” Fu Xinghan said, draping an arm around Jiang Xu’s shoulder. “You young man, your wealth is now comparable to mine. You’re really impressive, far better than my good-for-nothing son.”
Although Jiang Xu spoke with modesty, inwardly he added a thought.
Who knows, my current wealth might already have surpassed yours.
After chatting casually in the living room, Jiang Xu went to Fu Yanjie’s room.
Besides Jiang Xu, several groomsmen had also been invited.
The custom in Jiang City was to pick up the bride at dawn and then have the wedding feast at noon.
They got dressed up, had some late-night snacks, and set off.
The wedding procession was magnificent, filled with luxury cars.
Just the cost of these cars combined would be at least several hundred million.
The cars at the front and back scattered flowers along the way.
In the car, Fu Yanjie was unusually nervous.
He gripped Jiang Xu’s arm, “What if her family gives me a hard time? What if they make me drink rows upon rows of alcohol at the doorstep?”
Jiang Xu couldn’t help but chuckle, “That won’t happen; here in Yue Province, we don’t have such bad customs.”
In many places, they might tease the groom, tie him to a tree.
Or bully the bridesmaids, or even go as far as indecent behavior.
But here in Yue Province, these things rarely happen.
At most, there are just a few small games, some riddles to solve, and that’s it.
However, even though Jiang Xu said a lot, Fu Yanjie was still not the least bit relaxed.
Incessantly babbling out of nervousness.
It annoyed Jiang Xu to the point that he smacked the back of Fu Yanjie’s head, “Shut up!”
Fu Yanjie:”…”
They arrived at Zhang Yuanyuan’s house.
First, they had to set off firecrackers.
At the doorstep, led by An Nuonuo, a group of young and beautiful bridesmaids smilingly blocked the way.
“If you want to pass, you need to answer all the questions correctly,” they said.
