Chapter 646: 646: Chu Youwei Joins the Company
“I can guarantee that, within a maximum of two years, we can reach a world-leading level in areas such as lithography machines, mobile phone chips, storage chips, and screens.”
“So I hope Mr. Jiang can invest another twenty billion yuan in us.”
Jiang Xu originally came to visit the esteemed senior, Ni Guangnan, in high spirits.
But as soon as he heard these words, he immediately winced at the thought of the expense.
Lately, after bustling around and overcoming various difficulties, he had barely managed to add twenty-four billion yuan in cash to the company’s account.
It hadn’t even had the chance to warm up, and now it was about to be spent again.
But the investment was necessary.
Jiang Xu said with a wry smile, “If I had known, I wouldn’t have come to see you.”
Ni Guangnan patted his shoulder, “Your current investment can yield a hundredfold or even a thousandfold return in the future.”
That was indeed true.
It was precisely because Jiang Xu knew this that he had invested so much money, regardless of immediate profits.
After investing the twenty billion, the group needed to keep one and a half billion yuan as a reserve fund.
The remaining two and a half billion yuan were to be used to expand his own courier company.
The courier company he owned was currently in first-, second-, and third-tier cities.
It needed to expand nationally.
Two days later, the first season of “Taking Advantage of the School Beauty’s Poverty, Persuading Her to be My Girlfriend,” a total of forty episodes, was completed.
After post-production, dubbing, subtitles, and such were finished, it would be ready to broadcast.
Another piece of news was that the ‘big data model’ was fully developed.
After hundreds of verifications, it was officially implemented on the Daily Headlines platform.
The era of self-media had arrived ahead of time.
Initially, attracting people to the platform to publish their works would require a sizeable investment.
But this wasn’t difficult.
All that was needed was to create idols.
Create a few grassroots members who earned hundreds of thousands or over a million yuan a month.
Let the general netizens know that this platform could make big money, and naturally, countless people would flock to it.
Furthermore, Jiang Xu personally launched a new project.
Short videos!
With his involvement, the 5G era was bound to arrive early in this life.
He had to prepare the product in advance.
As soon as 5G was launched, the product could be introduced to the market right away.
He had even thought of the name for it, which would be: QuickSound.
Jiang Xu classified this project as a top-secret company project.
Only company veterans were allowed to participate.
There was a knock on the office door.
Jiang Xu responded, and then the door opened, and two graceful girls walked in.
“Brother Xu, have you finished your work?” An Nuonuo placed a cup of milk tea in front of his desk. “I brought my cousin to finish the procedures.”
Chu Youwei also officially joined the company today.
She took up a position as a deputy director in the company.
However, her main job was live broadcasting, and she was also provided with two female assistants.
A life assistant, a work assistant, and a female bodyguard.
All these were provided for her because of An Nuonuo’s request to Jiang Xu.
From today, Chu Youwei would start engaging in live broadcasting.
In the future, she would become one of the two main pillars of the company along with An Nuonuo.
Jiang Xu was also fully prepared to cultivate Chu Youwei.
Zhou Qingyue was originally the person Jiang Xu had in mind.
Unfortunately, this woman had repeatedly disappointed Jiang Xu, so she was cut from the plan.
In terms of integrity, appearance, figure, and even potential, Chu Youwei was far superior to Zhou Qingyue.
Jiang Xu had given her many opportunities, but unfortunately, she had never seized them.
Chu Youwei stood in front of Jiang Xu, appearing very demure.
She did not behave arrogantly just because her cousin was An Nuonuo.
Jiang Xu stood up, casually picked up the milk tea, patted An Nuonuo’s head, and said to Chu Youwei, “Let’s go and see your office.”
Chu Youwei’s office was on the twentieth floor.
As soon as she opened the door, Chu Youwei subconsciously covered her mouth.
Her office was huge, comparable to a presidential suite.
There was an independent working area, a resting area, and even a live broadcast room.
All kinds of equipment inside were top-notch and state-of-the-art.
“This…” Chu Youwei was a bit dazed, “isn’t this too luxurious? I don’t need such a nice office.”
An Nuonuo tugged at her arm, “Not at all, I think it suits my sister very well.”
Jiang Xu also said, “Just use it with peace of mind, you’ll be the one to make a lot of money for the company in the future.”
Chu Youwei could only nod.
She took a deep breath and her eyes firmed up.
She had to work even harder, aiming to earn enough money for her brother-in-law as soon as possible.
The things she had received now already made her feel very apprehensive and uneasy.
Time quickly moved to the morning of the day before National Day.
At Spirit Turtle Island, all the contestants who had won places and got popular in the first ‘School Hunk Competition’ had arrived.
There, Jiang Xu entrusted Avi with the follow-up.
Avi regularly reported to Jiang Xu.
The first batch of avid fans had already swarmed onto the island before the holiday even started.
The construction on the island was almost complete by now.
It could accommodate over five hundred thousand people at once.
The tickets were divided into three categories: 388, 688, and 988.
However, they were being scalped for several times their original price.
Mmm, the scalpers were also sent by Jiang Xu.
After all, instead of letting others make that money, it might as well be him.
Just the tickets for this seven-day concert series were a huge income.
Not to mention the broadcasting rights income from television and the internet.
And the consumption from fans for food, drinks, and accommodations on the island.
During those few days, the island would definitely be a goldmine.
The group’s branch set up on the island was also progressing in an orderly manner.
It was expected to move there by the winter vacation.
Before the long holiday began, there was one important matter.
That was ‘Blueprint,’ which was going public today.
Although the company had not been established for a long time, it had already started making profits.
Moreover, Jiang Xu had amalgamated his own express delivery company into ‘Blueprint.’
Currently, Jiang Xu owned 50% of the shares and was the major shareholder.
Bai Xiaoya owned 15%, making her the second largest shareholder.
Jiang Xu had high hopes for ‘Blueprint.’
So on the day of its IPO, a frenzy was created to boost its profile.
Shortly after the opening of the stock market, the share price rose by 5%, but then it started to plummet sharply.
It went without saying that it must have been the work of Jiang Xu’s opponents.
It was definitely those few usual suspects, no need to even think about it.
But Jiang Xu had foreseen this.
Immediately following, ‘Blueprint’ issued a statement.
Inviting An Nuonuo to become the image spokesperson for ‘Blueprint.’
Inviting Chu Youwei to become the chief brand experience officer for ‘Blueprint.’
An Nuonuo and Chu Youwei both quickly shared the news.
Their fans were ecstatic, and some with the resources immediately entered the stock market to purchase this stock.
The stock price consequently skyrocketed, hitting the daily limit instantly.
That wasn’t all, right after, Jiang Xu announced the second support plan for ‘Blueprint.’
