My minimum living allowance is credited to my account every day with 1000 million yuan

My aunt ate with great relish. I checked on my uncle several times and noticed that this big eater seemed to be eating very little food today, looking quite preoccupied.

After the meal, Auntie went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, something she absolutely refused to let Zhao Xiangjun do. Zhao Xiangjun then went to the storeroom, took two bottles of 50-year-old Moutai, put them in a tote bag, and handed them to her uncle, saying, "Take them back with you when you leave."

My uncle forced a smile. It was supposed to be six bottles, but his wife reduced it to 30% off with just one sentence. What a spendthrift woman! She wouldn't be worth the price of those four bottles of wine even if you sold her.

Chen Xiao added, "Let him take a pound of tea with him too; I think my uncle likes it quite a bit."

Just then, my aunt came out and said, "We don't need any tea at home, so let's not bring any."

The uncle was almost furious. How could one type of tea be the same as another? Fortunately, it wasn't heavy, so there was no need to worry about it being inconvenient for them to carry. Zhao Xiangjun still gave him a pound of tea to take with him.

Because it was quite far for them to return to Xingfu Jiayuan, they weren't asked to stay long after the meal. As the uncle and aunt left the community to hail a taxi, the uncle squatted down and lit a cigarette in frustration.

My aunt scolded me angrily, "Why are you so useless today, old man? First you acted like you'd never had a drink, then you acted like you'd never had tea, and now you're a reincarnated smoker."

It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, because once he did, his uncle jumped up in anger: "You spendthrift woman, do you know how much I've lost because of one sentence? At least a house, do you even know that?"

My aunt was stunned by the sight of a house. "What? A house?"

Pointing to the wine in her hand, she said, "Do you recognize this wine? Do you know how expensive it is? Xiangjun and Chen Xiao both said they would give me a case, but you had to say something and insist on reducing it by four bottles."

Auntie sneered, "Old Wang, is that all you've got? We're making almost 30,000 a month now, and you're still taking advantage of your niece over a few bottles of wine. Aren't you ashamed? This is Moutai, I don't recognize it. Four bottles for 10,000 yuan? Is it worth it to be looked down upon for 10,000 yuan?"

“Damn it, ten thousand yuan. Take a look. This is 50-year-old Moutai, worth 300,000 yuan a bottle. If you get me four bottles, that's 1.2 million yuan. Our house isn't even worth that much.”

Upon hearing this, the aunt's arrogance vanished instantly. "How much more?"

"Sigh~" The uncle shook his head angrily and squatted down to smoke.

After a long while, the aunt scolded again, "Why are you telling me this? I won't be able to sleep tonight. Aren't you trying to ruin my life?"

Junxiao Lakeside CBD Center
In Chen Xiao's office, both of his assistants were present today. Starting today, Ma Jing will be working here, and she will not go to Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group when Chen Xiao is not there.

If there's anything that needs to be taken care of, she'll go there briefly. She's been to this office a few times before and it's not unfamiliar to her, but she doesn't know much about Junxiao Group's business. She came today mainly to have Zhang Ziqian show her around the group's operations.

She knew before that Junxiao Group had a large amount of assets, but she didn't know the exact amount. After Zhang Ziqian finished introducing them one by one, Ma Jing sighed to the sky: "I knew that Brother Chen Xiao was rich before, but I didn't expect him to be this rich. No wonder he has three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines. Ziqian, tell me honestly, how does it feel to be favored by him?"

Zhang Ziqian reached out and hit her, "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't be shameless."

"No way, how could he resist?"

Zhang Ziqian said quietly, "How could he lack women? There are several in this building alone."

Ma Jing waved her hand magnanimously, "Nothing to fear, nothing to fear. No one is as close as the two of us. From now on, we'll be his favored concubines."

"You seem quite confident. Let's see if you can maintain this composure after you meet those women."

Ma Jing is pretty on her own, but all of Chen Xiao's women are stunning beauties, each with their own unique charm. Even Han Xue, who used to be his assistant, is far more beautiful than those big stars.

Oh right, there's also Meng Ziyi from the big stars, and Li Zhien. Who knows who else might be in the future? Xiao Ma Jing is too optimistic. She still wants to be a favored concubine. She should be grateful if she doesn't get banished to the cold palace.

"Huh? Chen Xiaoge has also invested in Yinuo Group and Jiexun Sports?"

"Yes, these two pieces do not belong to Junxiao Group; they are the boss's private investments."

"How many secrets does he still have? What if one day he suddenly tells me he has a bunch of assets overseas?"

Zhang Ziqian tossed over a document, "You're absolutely right. Look, he owns over 2000 square meters on the Champs-Élysées in Paris, and another 2000 square meters on Rodeo Street in Seoul, South Korea."

Ma Jing took it and glanced at it. "My God, is he even human?"

She then learned that her brother Chen Xiao had done so much outside, quietly building a vast business empire.

"Ma Jing, come here for a moment."

"The order contract between Shanyun Automotive and Junxing Intelligent R&D Center will initially be for 5 sets, following our contract template. You are responsible for following up on this matter."

5 sets, that's a 20 billion yuan business. President Chen is indeed President Chen. He's too lazy to look at this amount in person anymore. Of course, this is also because Ma Jing has been training for so long that she can handle things on her own.

"Ziqian, please give a brief overview of the development of the major business entities."

Zhang Ziqian brought her laptop over, opened it, and gave a brief report.

Junxiao Business Management:

Chen Xiao demanded that branch offices be established in all provinces and municipalities across the country by the end of this year, and that preliminary acquisition negotiations be conducted for key properties, with the aim of having benchmark properties in each region by the end of the year.

Currently, the three vice presidents (including Lu Tao) are either on business trips or on their way to business trips every day, carrying out strategic deployments in various places. At the same time, they are poaching senior executives from Wansheng Group with high salaries, and the efforts are beginning to show results.

The first war zone, which is the war zone in charge of Zhao Hui, has now established 5 branch companies, and the general managers of the branch companies have been selected. At the same time, it is negotiating the acquisition of key businesses in these 5 regions, and the feedback so far indicates that there has been significant progress.

Chen Xiao waved his hand, interrupting her report, "Don't use words like 'approximately' or 'relatively' in your reports in the future. If you say them, I won't know where the progress is. Negotiations are divided into reaching an agreement, signing the contract, and handover. If none of these steps are completed, there's no progress to speak of."

"Boss, received."

He nodded, signaling her to continue.

Of the five branch offices in the first war zone, two acquisition projects are under negotiation, with the intention to reach an agreement and the contract details being discussed; three projects have already been signed and the handover can be completed by the end of this month.

In the second war zone, Lin Ya's region, five branch offices have been established, and the general managers of the branch offices have been selected. Among the current acquisition projects, three have reached an agreement and are in the process of communicating the details of the contracts. One has been signed and will be handed over at the end of this month, and the other three have been handed over.

In the third war zone, General Manager Lu Tao arrived late. Currently, three branch offices have been established, and the general managers of the branch offices have been selected. Among the current acquisition projects, two have reached an agreement and are finalizing the contract details, while one has been signed and will be handed over at the end of this month.

Considering all the above, Lin Ya acted the fastest because her base in the Hanjiang area was stable enough, and Lin Yuan was helping her manage a province's regional work. By chance, she directly acquired two properties.

Zhao Hui also needs to focus some of his efforts on Ningxi, where the battle is raging. But given Zhao Hui's personality, he would probably find this reason hard to accept and would definitely strive to catch up.

Lu Tao's third war zone was originally Xu Jun's responsibility, but Xu Jun has been busy with the acquisition of the Shanghai Hengyuan Plaza project recently. With the cooperation of Liu Pinhua, the general manager of Hengyuan Plaza, the deal with Hengyuan Real Estate Group had been basically finalized in the early stages, but recently some changes have occurred due to the intervention of some miners in South Africa.

Xu Jun was unable to leave his post, and Lu Tao arrived late, so the progress was slower. However, he still needed time. He was in his prime and would certainly not want to fall behind. He would definitely catch up.

Lu Tao has another problem: unlike Zhao Hui and Lin Ya, who understood Chen Xiao's thoughts and trusted him during the acquisition negotiations and therefore dared to make a direct decision to acquire at a premium at crucial moments, Lu Tao doesn't have the guts to directly offer a premium of over 100 million. That would require reporting to Xu Jun, who would then report to Xu Wu, thus affecting work efficiency.

There was no other way; Xu Jun also had to avoid suspicion. Besides, Xu Wu hadn't given him that much authority to approve overpriced items worth hundreds of millions without reporting them. Such a management loophole was too big. Money can be a powerful motivator, and if Xu Jun couldn't control himself, it would not only harm the group but also Xu Jun himself.

"Keep following up. If the progress in some areas slows down significantly, you need to keep an eye on it and urge them on."

On the Junxiao Hotel Management Group side, Gao Yue has been quite quick to act. No wonder I haven't seen her for a few days; she's been out discussing projects every day. Recently, three new 6-star hotels have been added, bringing the total number of 7-star hotels in the Junxiao Hotel Management Group to two, six, and one 5-star hotels.

Is Gao Yue trying to be a workaholic? She's probably learning from Xu Wu. Xu Wu has been inspecting various places recently, and I heard that along the way, at least five general managers of some branch companies have been replaced.

They don't usually go down to the stores, but when they do, they find a lot of problems. Junxiao Group has developed too fast, and its talent pool has always been insufficient. In the early stages, the background checks and investigations may not have been done thoroughly enough, making it easier for some people with questionable ethics to slip in. Chen Xiao also discovered this when he went down to inspect the stores before.

Later, Xu Wu established the Supervision Department, with Zhang Ziqian still holding the title of Minister. However, the specific tasks were handled by the deputy ministers. Currently, the Supervision Department has eight groups, with each member conducting undercover visits and inspections of various projects.

"Judging from President Gao's attitude, even 500 billion might not be enough for her, haha."

Zhang Ziqian knew that her boss was just joking with amusement, "Junxiao Hotel Management Group's revenue next year will definitely be staggering."

"We should see significant progress every month when we look at the month-on-month comparisons. By next year, Junxiao Hotel Management Group should be a giant in the industry."

After all, they only operate luxury hotels, and each property is worth billions, or even more. "Boss, in two years, you'll be the world's biggest landlord, collecting tens of billions in rent every year."

This goal is not difficult. He will achieve it when he completes 100 commercial plazas, and will then have fixed assets worth trillions of yuan, with annual rental income of nearly 100 billion yuan.

This business empire—well, it's probably just the tip of the iceberg of Mr. Chen's business empire.

Zhang Ziqian continued her report on Junxing Automotive's business segment.

This is the only loss-making segment under Junxiao Group, but this loss is a drop in the ocean for Junxiao Group. Now he just wants to spend money to buy time and quickly establish the Junxing Auto brand.

The automotive market is worth trillions of yuan, with even greater potential than commercial real estate or the hotel industry. Junxing Auto's current advantage lies in intelligent technology, but it still lacks in the tuning of traditional luxury cars and brand building.

The Junxing M7 factory is currently operating at full capacity, with three shifts running to maximize production. However, it can only deliver 20,000 cars per month. All of this will have to wait until the super smart factory is delivered and put into use in the second half of the year. This factory is planned to have an annual production capacity of 200,000 vehicles, and its delivery will solve the production capacity problem.

Meanwhile, Xu Wu is already planning to invest another 150 billion yuan to build two super smart factories with a planned production capacity of 40 billion yuan.

This is sufficient to meet Junxing Motors' planned annual production capacity of 800,000 vehicles. To put that into perspective, all of Junxing Motors' future models will be priced above 300,000. If they can sell 800,000 vehicles a year, the annual output value will exceed 240 billion yuan. The impact on the entire supply chain and the contribution to tax revenue will be staggering. Jiangzhou will see its annual GDP increase by 240 billion yuan because of Junxing Motors, along with a large number of jobs and tax revenue. The economic and social benefits are unprecedented.

However, Junxing Auto still has a long way to go, and whether its high-end positioning can be accepted by the market is crucial. The luxury car market is the most lucrative piece of the pie, and Junxing Auto must squeeze into it.

But luxury brands can't just improve their product strength or just pile on hardware and software; they also need to provide customers with sufficient emotional value. Junxing Auto is not doing that yet. So what should they do?

Chen Xiao had an idea in mind: he would have a good talk with Fei Fei in a couple of days. Dr. Feng Robotics Technology Group focuses on the field of AI, but it is more focused on the software aspect. Some high-precision core components, such as computing chips, need to be purchased.

A breakthrough in a strategic industry like semiconductors would undoubtedly bring immense publicity to Junxing Intelligent R&D Center, making it famous and instantly renowned. At that point, building a high-end luxury brand would be much easier for Junxing Auto.

This is just a preliminary idea, not mature enough, and needs to be further discussed with Feng Feifei. But Chen Xiao is willing to spend a lot of money on this, even without considering the investment. He also wants to get involved in this strategic project.

Her thoughts drifted away. "Ziqian, you continue."

Junxiao Capital currently holds controlling or minority stakes in nearly 700 companies, and directly or indirectly controls industries worth nearly 1.3 trillion yuan.

Because Xu Wu was personally in charge of this section, Chen Xiao rarely paid attention to it, but he didn't expect it to develop so quickly.

Bluestar Guardian now has more than 2 employees worldwide. Meanwhile, Hassan has no overseas base or branch office, but has established Junxing Auto's sales channel locally. Unfortunately, not a single car has been shipped out yet, and domestic deliveries cannot be guaranteed. Hassan can only be patient.

Fortunately, he doesn't make money from this, and he can afford to lose money. He now has more than 30 sales outlets overseas. If Jin Fu knew, he would probably regret it.

In fact, he already regretted it. When Jin Wuxian called him, he suggested that he could talk to Xu Gang again about jointly building overseas sales channels. However, Jin Fu had tried to make an appointment several times recently but could not get anyone to come. He hoped that Chen Xiao could use the connections of Junxing Intelligent R&D Center to make a connection.

Chen Xiao chuckled coldly and hung up the phone. "Screw you. You ignored me before, now you'll be begging for my attention."

There's also the fifth major business entity, Junxiao Retail. Zhang Ziqian didn't report on it. Han Xue is on a business trip and will be back tomorrow. She will report to Han Xue in person then, but even if she does, there's unlikely to be any major progress. She could have finished explaining the minor issues after spending three hours in bed with Chen Xiao, albeit haltingly.

The same applies to He Qing's side. That charitable foundation is simply a money-spending entity. Chen Xiao gives her 50 billion, and she can spend it as she pleases. If she can't spend it all, Chen Xiao won't say anything. Conversely, if she wants to spend more, Chen Xiao can provide it. So it's just for He Qing to have fun with, to have her do charity work as a representative of Junxiao Group.

Chen Xiao stretched and said, "Ziqian, I need to talk to Ma Jing alone."

Zhang Ziqian blushed, hummed in agreement, and returned to her office. She knew perfectly well what the two of them talked about; their conversations were always intimate and physical.

Quietly opening the hidden compartment, Ma Jing, unlike others, actually yelled, "Ziqian, come here, come here right now!"

"That girl Ma Jing is really going to die," he thought, quickly closing the hidden compartment, but after a while he couldn't resist opening it again to examine it closely.

"No, no, I can't watch anymore, or I really won't be able to resist and I'll get involved. The problem is that girl keeps yelling." Zhang Ziqian sat in the wardrobe under the small hidden compartment, her hands on her lap, her mind filled with all sorts of images.

"The boss is something else. Why is he so demanding in broad daylight? I could tolerate it when it was just me, but with that crazy girl Ma Jing around, things like this will become the norm."

Jiangzhou Design Institute

In Bai Sheng's office, Bai Lu sat arrogantly on the sofa, while Bai Sheng sat beside her with a smile. He usually indulged his younger sister, and now that she had helped him secure this big deal from the Guo Group, the status of this princess had been elevated once again. He wouldn't dare to object if she directly succeeded to the throne as empress in the future.

Unfortunately, this younger sister did not have a strong desire for power and had no interest in taking the helm of the company.

"Little sister, it's rare for you to come up and see me today?"

"Why would I look at you? I'm home all day, haven't I seen enough of you?"

Bai Sheng said awkwardly, "Little sister, aren't you being a bit arrogant? You can't say that. After all, I'm your brother, and I know you still care about me."

"Hehe—I do care about you. Take care of yourself."

Bai Sheng was immediately happy, but only for a second before his facial expression froze.

"You need to take care of yourself. We'll have to rely on you to take care of our parents in their old age. If you become disabled, it will be my problem."

“I really don’t understand why your father spoils you so much, you unfilial daughter. I’m so obedient, and I work like a slave at the company, and he still scolds me every day.”

"You insulted me, I'm going to cancel your business." Bai Lu feigned anger and stood up.

"I was wrong, little sister. How about I buy you a gift to make up for it? What do you like? Or how about I buy you a Rolex watch?"

"Bai Sheng, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"

I looked up at my sister, not understanding what she meant.

"If you're going to give me a car, it has to be a Maserati that I don't even want—"

Bai Sheng's face immediately fell. Wasn't this a slap in the face? He genuinely wanted to give him a car, but the other person didn't care and came back driving a Bentley Continental to slap him in the face.

"The poor play with cars, the rich play with watches. I'll buy you a Rolex Day-Date with diamonds, what do you think? I went to the store to see it yesterday. You helped the family get such a big deal, so I'll give you a small gift as a reward."

“I’m saying you did this on purpose—are you blind? Can’t you see I’m wearing a watch?”

"I see it. I was thinking of getting you a better one."

"Even better? Did you see what I brought?"

This immediately caught Bai Sheng's attention, and he looked at her wrist. His pupils dilated when he saw it. "My God, what model is this? Let me check. It's a Patek Philippe. When did you buy it? There are no Patek Philippes in Jiangzhou."

The bracelet on her wrist was, of course, bought by Chen Xiao. He went to Shanghai and bought some items to give to his female confidantes. Bai Lu wore this bracelet as a gift last time, and it was the first time she had worn it today, so Bai Sheng hadn't noticed it before.

After a while, Bai Sheng put down his phone and asked in an incredulous tone, "Is this a jewelry piece from the Nautilus series? It costs 450 million? When did you become so extravagant, little sister?"

"Hum-"

He knew she was mocking his stinginess, not that he was too extravagant. But for Bai Sheng, although his family wasn't short of money, wearing a watch worth over 400 million was still too extravagant.

"It couldn't have been Chen Xiao who gave it to me again, could it? That guy gives away all the money he earns from his business."

Bai Lu glanced at him disdainfully, "Do you think Chen Xiao is like you? He's not going to put on a show of wealth when he's not."

"Alright, alright, your Chen Xiao is the best, but when is he going to come and pay his respects to his brother-in-law? He didn't even come to see me when he came to the company last time, that's too much."

Bai Lu blushed; last time, she mainly didn't have time. The two of them worked hard in the office all afternoon, and it was already dark by the time they finished.

"He'll be here today. I came to tell you about this. Otherwise, why do you think I came up here?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Sheng immediately said, "Alright, I'll meet him and see what his abilities are. If he has business management skills, I can train him. In the future, our Jiangzhou Design Institute will be a company with tens of billions in revenue. Instead of him being a salesman in another company, he should come and be my vice president." (End of this chapter)
