A few days later...
On this day, Chen Xi walked out of the examination room and stretched.
"There is good news and there is bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?" Chen Xu came over and patted him on the shoulder.
"You are still thinking about making money when you don't know how to take the exam." Chen Xi lit a cigarette.
“If you fail to pass the exam, leave it to God. Anyway, I chose a random multiple-choice question. You haven’t answered my question yet!”
"Hear the bad news first."
"The bad news is that we have to pay a large sum of money, probably more than ten million."
"What about the good news?"
"The good news is that the garbage embargo has been lifted, and the relevant departments said they will also award us an outstanding enterprise award!"
"Hahaha, I didn't even mention the money." Chen Xi listened. Wan burst out laughing, which was in line with the way the relevant departments did things.
It's you who provided the money and strength, and a banner is considered a reward.
But there is nothing that can be done about it. You, a small businessman, cannot influence the confrontation between the two countries at all.
This Outstanding Enterprise Award was probably given to Shen Lang for his sake.
“Hey, there’s some big news!” Chen Xi opened his phone and clicked on a web page.
The above is the latest report. Huayuan Group reduced its holdings due to some reasons and lost control of WheelGroup.
The trade between Tuao and Asia is gradually returning to normal, and the mining industry is slowly recovering after experiencing serious injuries...
Carsales has launched a new business - car rental service, and the stock price has risen sharply again!
"Hey, why is this Carsales showing up again? Car rental service? Such a good chess move is definitely not something that guy Jin Junxiu can come up with." Chen Xi looked at his phone and analyzed.
“Oh, I’ve heard of that car rental service. The deposit and rent are quite expensive! Only those with smart minds would choose to rent a car. There are so many people in Tu’ao who own cars, so who would rent a car?” Chen Xu looked disdainful.
“You can’t say that. Nowadays, many people travel to other places. Renting a car gives them more freedom than taking a taxi...” Chen Xi feels that given the size of Carsales, this project still has a head start.
But the current car rental service is not suitable for their Real-Car.
City, in a hotel.
Looking at the soaring stock price, Norbert opened a glass of champagne happily.
"Haha, you can make money faster than buying stocks for nothing!" He picked up two wine glasses, poured one for the young man in front of him, then picked up his own glass and raised it to clink with the other man.
The young man sitting on the chair was wearing a peaked cap and a sweatshirt, making it difficult to see his face.
The young man raised his glass and took a sip of wine: "I wish us a happy cooperation!"
"Happy cooperation! Fortunately, I listened to your idea this time. You said that we are all Asians, so why are our brains so different? Oh! That man from Kimchi Country is only thinking about how to pretend to be X. If you really want him to solve the problem, he will just yell at others for being incompetent!" Norbert drank the wine in his glass.
“Don’t be complacent. This car rental service is not used to increase the stock price. If you want to cash out, just pretend I didn’t say anything. If the car rental service does not do well, the stock price will definitely fluctuate later. ." The young man shook the wine glass, and the bubbles inside rose and fell like stocks.
"I understand, don't worry. I will definitely do a good job in this project. Now the kimchi countryman has gone back. He will come back after he solves the things over there. Let's think about how to give him to him first. Kick him out, I've really had enough!" When Norbert thought about Jin Junxiu's usual scoldings, he became extremely angry.
“As far as I know, although there are many automobile manufacturing companies in such a small place as Kimchi Country, the combination of factors such as population, car ownership, and urban area are not suitable for large-scale automobile manufacturing. Trading platform. Kim Junsu belongs to the chaebols in Kimchi Country. There are many chaebols in Kimchi Country, and they will fight secretly for their own interests. If you want to kick him away, you can only rely on the power of other chaebols..." The young man's analysis made Norbert think twice. nod.
However, Norbert didn't think so.
This is Tuao, do I still need to embrace the lap of another foreign plutocrat?
Are you having fun with your brain?
Hmph, if I cooperate with the Tu'ao Consortium then, you will all be a piece of shit!
"Jin Junxiu is just a small stone on our way forward, Real-Car is the biggest enemy." The young man said again.
"Yes, yes, they have now launched an online car-hailing service. Should we copy their model? Based on the size of our company, we will definitely be able to compete with them."
"No, This kind of fight is a complete waste of funds. Besides, car rental services are not suitable for Carsales. We have our advantages..." The young man shook his head and rejected Norbert's idea.
"We have money now, why don't we fight a war of attrition?" Norbert's eyes widened.
Afternoon, HungryDragon headquarters.
"Our current business has been carried out in other big cities such as Xicun. Soon we will enter New Zealand, the United States, Europe and other regions..." Yuan Shuai encouraged the employees while standing.
"Holy crap, those who didn't know better would have thought you were mobilizing tens of thousands of people. This is more exciting than the speech before the war." After it was over, Chen Xi looked at the five or six employees who were leaving and said.
“Oh, I’ve had a lot of fun! But I don’t think this is a dream. According to our current progress, it won’t be long before we can do cross-border business.” Yuan Shuai sighed.
The current development is completely beyond his expectation.
“You have to remember that our profit model is not to charge commissions. It is right to do transnational business, but if you want to operate for a long time, you need to pay attention to costs.”
“I know, I know, no. Is this just hype?" Yuan Shuai closed the office door with a smile.
"Hype is just a commercial method of operation. There are many businesses that become popular because of the hype, but no one cares about it later. I don't want to make a small amount of money in the early stage, I want to grow steadily. In Western countries, the population and the number of restaurants are about the same as It's unmatched in China, and it's definitely not possible to follow the traditional operating methods, so we can only take the wrong approach!" Chen Xi sat on the boss's chair and looked at today's Tu'ao stock market.
The stocks of the companies Edward mentioned before have indeed risen.
"How come these stocks have risen so much? It's unscientific!" Yuan Shuai pushed up his glasses and stared at the screen in disbelief.
“Tu’ao’s innovation in the field of packaging materials can be regarded as a global model, which is largely due to its great emphasis on environmental protection. Many technology companies have spent huge sums of money on research and development, and now these companies are It claims to promote an advanced thermal insulation black technology material that can keep food at a constant temperature for several hours and has extraordinary effects..." Chen Xi explained.
"The cost must be very expensive, and it certainly cannot be spread over a large area." Yuan Shuai asked.
"It's okay, some businesses are already using it. Although this insulation material uses high-tech nanotechnology and achieves excellent thermal insulation effect through microporous structure, its production cost has been effectively reduced through large-scale production and technology optimization. Control. Specifically, it uses advanced materials such as Aerogel and Vacuum Insulation Panel (VIP, Vacuum Insulation Panel), which can provide excellent thermal insulation performance in an extremely thin volume and are very suitable for making take-out boxes .< br>
These high-tech insulation materials can not only effectively slow down heat transfer and keep the temperature of food stable, but also reduce energy consumption and breakage during transportation due to their lightweight and durable properties. , as the technology continues to mature and output increases, its unit cost has been greatly reduced, making more and more catering businesses affordable and willing to adopt this environmentally friendly and efficient packaging solution. Therefore, you are completely satisfied. Don't worry that it can't be spread over a large area." Chen Xi stood up and poured a glass of water.
This reminded him that Sangou is also engaged in packaging, but it is a manufacturer of beverage bottle equipment such as Bayonet Carlo and is also a well-known enterprise at home and abroad.
After achieving it in the past life, it has become one of the largest suppliers of ball blow molding molds. Its global high-end beverage packaging market share ranks second in the world and first in the country. The bottle blowing molds produced by it have obtained the "Single Champion Product" certification.
This can be considered a very impressive company in Guangdong Province, and its status in the industry is similar to that of Chen Xi’s machine tools.
"Didi." The mobile phone in Chen Xi's pocket rang.
I took it out and saw that it was a call from Zhao Lingshan.
"Hey, Shanshan, what's wrong?" Chen Xi said in a gentle tone.
"Chen Xi, your takeout is so awesome! What I sell is fast food, and people who come here want to save time. Now that fast food is paired with takeout, the sales are almost explosive! Hahaha, Get rich~" At this time, Zhao Lingshan's eyes were filled with the shape of money.
“Where is this? I’m planning to do takeout in other countries!”
"Okay then, wherever your takeout is open, my restaurant will also be open."
"Haha, you little money addict!"
"By the way, I watched it today News. It is said that the Australian stock index was affected by the decline in mining stocks due to flooding in eastern Australia, and the stock market fell. ...Now Tu'ao officials have decided to establish a high-level, inter-departmental, affairs agency to communicate, coordinate and handle matters related to our country..."
"Haha, that's just Tu'ao? It's just an excuse to save face." Chen Xi almost laughed when he heard the news. The local and Australian officials are really good at making up stories, attributing the stock market decline to natural disasters, trying to confuse the fact that the previous trade war and being shorted.
"Okay, dear, I'm going to class."
"Well, then hang up."
"Did you forget something?"
"Mua~"
"Heehee~Mua~"
< br>Zhao Lingshan's playful laughter came from the phone, followed by the beep of hanging up.
"You are simply more awesome than the male protagonist in my novel, Mua~ I got goosebumps when I heard it."
"Hey, you didn't go out!"
Suddenly behind me Yuan Shuai's sour words came. He was so involved in the phone call just now that he forgot that this guy was still in the office.
"Rebirth novels on God's website are very popular recently. I even doubt that you are reborn."
"Oh? God's sake is popular?"
Chen Xi has been very busy recently and has not paid attention to domestic developments.
“Well, the most interesting thing is that there are several posts that list all the things you can do to make money after being reborn.”
“Isn’t that what everyone writes the same way? What’s so interesting? ?”
Chen Xi also read a lot of novels when he was in school, but he felt that the novels that came out later were all the same, with the protagonist’s name completely changed.
To put it simply, the homogeneity is too serious!
"Yes, most of them write about how they were reborn during the period of reform and opening up, and how they changed their lives against the odds, such as stock trading."
"Stocks are a variable, and it is not a big deal for a small person to trade in stocks even if he is reborn. It may change your fate against the odds. This is like playing cards between the banker and the player. The banker always has the advantage! Simply remembering the stock price is useless unless you can constantly know the specific dynamics of the company and combine it with others. A big event happens, come Make a judgment. Besides, if some people see you using a basin to fight for food with them, they will overturn the table..."
"Not everyone understands this truth. Besides, novels are designed to make people relax. Yes, you don’t want some people to think about things there. Do you know what kind of novels are more popular?”
“Suspense?” Chen Xi thought about it. Thinking about it, my God, suspense seemed to be more popular in the past.
"No! Suspense has many restrictions. Some small animals are affected by the laws of heaven and earth and cannot become spirits in modern times. The most popular themes at present are fantasy and tomb robbing!"
"How are the incomes of those writers?"
"We have now changed from free to paid, and many people are not used to this model. In addition, there are other paid novel platforms, so competition is inevitable."
"Adaptation, adapt all these novels into film and television works. Only when the writers can make a lot of money can they attract more people to create on the platform." "Well, my god, they also launched this promotion. I think the most interesting thing about Tianya is not the novel section, but the discussion section. Some of the guys are really folk gods, and I was fascinated by some of the content they wrote..."
" Okay, I'm going to have a chat with Mr. cell phone.
Now that he has just finished the exam, during his short vacation, he plans to participate in foreign exhibitions.
However, you still need to arrange everything in Tuao before leaving.
Sihai City Branch.
"Sister Lian, you said that these bosses really don't know how to measure their employees. I see that you are usually so busy that you don't even have a chance to eat..." The young man looked at the busy woman with a distressed look.
"Xiao Feng, how many times have I told you, stop talking about your boss all the time. This is a taboo in the workplace! I don't eat because I am busy, I just want to lose weight. I have gained weight recently. Some..." Xia Lian frowned slightly and looked at the young man standing there. There were several exquisite desserts on the desk.
"Sister Lian, you are not fat at all. I know you are making excuses for your boss..." The young man shook his head.
"Hey, I'm busy!" At this time, a person walked into the office.
"Huh? Who are you...I seem to have seen you somewhere. Hey, this is not for you..." Looking at the man who had inexplicably barged in, he sat down on the table in a familiar manner. Picking up the small cake on the table and stuffing it into his mouth, the young man quickly reached out to stop it.
"Xiao Feng, I have a document to deliver here. Please go there..." Xia Lian raised her head, with a hint of joy in her eyes. However, she soon regained her composure as a leader and handed a document to the young man.
"I got it, Sister Lian." The young man took the things reluctantly, looked at the man who smiled at him, hummed and walked out.
Chen Xi stood up with a smile, closed the door of the office, walked behind Xia Lian and hugged her: "Why don't you accept this little fanboy, Sister Lian, Sister Lian calls you very affectionately."
"You can be jealous of a kid, I haven't said anything about you yet...Hey~" Xia Lian turned around and stretched out a finger to poke Chen Xi's chest.
“Ah, it hurts so much, please spare my life, Heroine!” Chen Xi covered his chest with a look of pain on his face.
"Come on, I don't even have a manicure, how can it hurt." Xia Lian rolled her eyes at him.
I have to say that Xia Lian is now wearing professional attire, with a plump figure and an innocent face, and this eye roll has a very charming feeling, which makes Chen Xi slightly absent-minded.
"You haven't eaten yet, let's go!" Chen Xi picked up Xia Lian.
"Hey, there are still people in the company!" Xia Lian's calves were dangling in the air. She is now the leader, so she naturally has to maintain her image in front of her employees.
"I am the boss, who has the guts to gossip?" Chen Xi snorted coldly and walked towards the door.
"..." However, after Xia Lian's strong resistance, she was finally let down.
Xia Lian straightened her clothes and opened the door. She stretched out her little head like a thief and looked outside. After making sure that everything was normal, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't make yourself too tired. The workplace in Tu'ao is different from that in China. Only by being yourself can you get along with the employees. This will make you more approachable." Chen Xi spread his hands.
Unexpectedly, after Chen Xi said this, the woman would roll her eyes.
Who am I so tired for?
Xia Lian sighed in her heart.
"I usually think of something happy, and I will assign a few people to help you share the work. Okay, go relax and have a meal." Chen Xi pinched her little face and took advantage of the Without anyone noticing, he took her little hand and walked out of the company.
On City Street.
The young man who just walked out of the company lowered his head and kicked a pebble as he walked.
Who is that man?
This is not the first time.
Is he Sister Lian’s boyfriend?
I asked her before if she had a boyfriend, and she said no!
Did you fall in love recently?
Did he also come to see Sister Lian last time?
It could also be a customer, but the customer's behavior would not be so casual...
And I noticed that the man's eyes were a little naughty.
Could it be that Sister Lian was taken advantage of in the business world?
Thinking of this, the young man clenched his fists.
"Chen Xi, what do you like about me?" After eating, a man and a woman walked slowly by the nearby cathedral.
St. Patrick's Cathedral commemorates the glorious history of the Roman Catholic Church's missionary work in Victoria.
The church is based on bluestone, with smooth and layered lines on the exterior wall, showing a deep gray-black tone. It is both solemn, elegant and majestic, like a bright pearl embedded in the city skyline of Mocun. superior.
"Why do you ask, do you need a reason to like someone?" Chen Xi put his arm around the girl's shoulders and let her head rest on him.
"I mean, if the two of us hadn't had a relationship because of that incident before, you..." Xia Lian thought of that special night a long time ago.
For the first time in her life, she indulged in lust and handed over her body to a strange man regardless of the consequences, completely deviating from her previous traditional and conservative approach.
"Do you think I am always treating you well because I feel guilty now?" Chen Xi put away his cynical smile.
"I...but I turned out to be just a poor girl. There are many women who are prettier than me and have better family conditions than me. The gap between the two of us is too big..." Xia Lian opened her mouth, and finally I still said the words that had been buried in my heart for many years.
"I admit that I was affected by guilt for being nice to you before, but later I really fell in love with you."
"There must be a reason..."
" You are different from other girls." Chen Xi said what every scumbag usually said.
In fact, Xia Lian's characteristics are indeed very attractive to him, such as kindness, diligence, gentleness and obedience. It's like seeing my first girlfriend from back then.
Men always miss their first love, there is nothing they can do about it.
But this must not be said.
No one likes to hear the other person say that they are someone's shadow or a substitute.
"Pfft~ How many girls have you said this to?" Xia Lian burst into laughter.
She also often watches idol dramas, and similar words often appear in the conversations between the male and female protagonists.
“Well…”
"Then what are your plans in the future, I mean emotionally..." Xia Lian looked at the other party seriously, and then lowered her head silently.
She wanted an answer.
Even if the answer wasn't the one she wanted to hear.
This is also something that most girls are obsessed with.
At this time, the man's heart is complex, with multiple emotions mixed together.
Although he knew he had a girlfriend now, he still had feelings for the girl in front of him.
If you make a promise to Xia Lian, you will be sorry for Saori.
In fact, in his previous life, he was a person who preferred pure love, and it was immoral in his heart to have many boats. Especially what happened with Chen Yifeng made his idea even stronger.
But now that they have been reborn, and there is Zhao Lingshan, there is no need to worry about one more.
Just how to settle Xia Lian?
If Saori knew, she would definitely break up.
If the current relationship is maintained like this, Xia Lian's side...
Seeing that the man did not respond for a long time, a trace of disappointment and self-deprecation flashed in Xia Lian's eyes.
Just when he was about to say something, Xia Lian suddenly wiped the corners of her eyes and ran away.
Seeing this, Chen Xi was about to catch up, but saw the girl suddenly turned around before she ran far and shouted loudly: "Chen Xi, I love you!"
Ignoring the strange looks from passers-by around her, the girl showed a bright smile to the man not far away.
This is the first time that the word "love" is spoken honestly between them.
Unexpectedly, it was the girl who spoke first.
"I love you too!" At this moment, Chen Xi was desperate and bravely expressed his feelings.
"Dong~" At this moment, the church bell rang out at an inappropriate time once a month, drowning his voice in the din.
What a nuisance, this bell!
"I said, I love you too!" Although Chen Xi complained in his heart, he shouted again.
"Boom!" The church bell rang again, as if it was deliberately against him.
Chen Xi suddenly turned his head angrily and looked up at the church.
If he catches that damn bell ringer, he must greet his whole family.
"Giggle~" Xia Lian, who was still immersed in depression, suddenly laughed at this moment, with crystal tears hanging from the corners of her eyes.
Although she did not hear the man's confession again, her intention was already clear.
The brilliance of the setting sun pours down like molten gold, gently embracing the entire church and covering the ancient building with a gorgeous golden coat.
The light dances between the spire and the carved window lattice, and the two figures, bathed in this brilliance, look particularly soft and profound.
A man and a woman seem to be frozen in time. (End of chapter)
