Wang Qiang's wife was somewhat disappointed, but she did develop a strong interest in the project.

“Then how about this, I’ll find my younger brother and we can open a restaurant together. He’s also in the restaurant business and has a lot of experience.”

Wang Ping knew her brother sold boxed lunches, which was completely different from running a restaurant. She thought to herself that sometimes experience could be a killer. She didn't want to worry about them; let them do what they wanted and follow whomever they wanted.

She didn't want to waste words with the couple, so she quickly ate a few bites, stood up, and said, "I'm done eating. You two can continue eating."

Wang's mother glanced at her, feeling somewhat uncomfortable. Her daughter had finally come home, only to be ruined by this couple's disturbance, preventing her from even enjoying her meal. She gave Wang's father a reproachful look—blaming him for meddling.

I took a nap in my room, and then prepared to head back in the afternoon to avoid getting sleepy from the boredom of driving on the highway.

When she got up, Wang's father was in the living room brewing a cup of the finest Houkui tea she had brought back, talking to Wang Qiang and his wife. When he saw her get up, he asked, "Pingping, are you going back to Jiangzhou today?"

She was a little reluctant to see her daughter leave soon, but she also knew that her daughter's work was important. "When you leave, please take your cousin and his wife to the high-speed rail station in Chongqing."

Transportation in this town is inconvenient. My cousin's family lives in their hometown, which is quite far from here. So when her sister-in-law said she would take care of her father in the future, she couldn't help but feel nauseous. How could she take care of him when they are more than 100 kilometers away?

As her Porsche Panamera cruised back to Jiangzhou on the highway, a smile played on her lips. She recalled her cousins ​​in the back seat, marveling at the interior of this ultra-luxury brand with their constant praise and envy, even declaring they'd buy one once their dealership opened and they made money. In their eyes, she was probably just incredibly lucky; if she could do it, so could they.

Indeed, Wang Ping admitted that she had gotten incredibly lucky. If she hadn't met Chen Xiao, she would still be working at a bank. Banks aren't like they used to be; they're incredibly lucrative now, and the income isn't high. She used to barely make ends meet with a monthly income of 10,000 yuan, and she still had to send money home, so she lived a very frugal life. That's why she loved money so much.

Thinking of He Qing, I haven't stayed with her for the past few days. Every night, He Qing goes to Xishan Linyu to serve that big shot Chen Xiao. It makes sense; his energy is so strong, his needs so high. Zhao Xiangjun's health doesn't allow it, and without He Qing, he'd be driven crazy. Sigh, it's a pity I can't go; otherwise, staying together every night would greatly increase the chances of things going too far.

The thought of this made her wide awake; all the sleepiness she had felt earlier vanished. She started thinking about how to please Zhao Xiangjun. Judging from He Qing's experience, pleasing Zhao Xiangjun seemed to be more effective than simply trying to win over Chen Xiao.

At Junxiao Lakeside CBD Center, Chen Xiao was on the phone with Xu Wu. She had been away inspecting the market for too long this time, and even President Chen, who was surrounded by beautiful women, felt a pang of longing for her.

He asked Xu Wu where she was and ordered her to return within three days. Xu Wu chuckled, clearly sensing Chen Xiao's longing. She was in an excellent mood, even better than if the group had made hundreds of billions more.

The former is that her emotional investment was rewarded, while the latter is her contribution to the Chen family's wealth and her devotion to Chen Xiao.

On the phone, Xu Wu's voice sounded tired, which made Chen Xiao feel sorry for her. However, her tone also revealed pride: "Chen Xiao, I came out this time and negotiated an important project. It has been confirmed. I will arrange for Xu Jun to go and sign the contract in the next two days."

Hmm? For Xu Jun to sign a contract, there must be some major news from Junxiao Commercial Management. Considering Xu Wu has been around Yuecheng recently, could it be some project in Yuecheng or Pengcheng?
There were indeed two commercial real estate projects in those two places that Chen Xiao had long coveted: one was Wanshangcheng in Pengcheng, and the other was Wanguli in Yuecheng.

Both of these are high-end shopping malls with annual sales exceeding 150 billion yuan. They belong to the world's top business districts, and their status in the business districts is not much weaker than that of Hengyuan Plaza and Huijin Plaza in Shanghai.

Xu Wu didn't keep Chen Xiao in suspense. Chen Xiao guessed correctly. She had quietly secured the acquisition of Wanshang Mall in Pengcheng for 400 billion yuan, which was an extremely high cost-performance ratio.

Of course, in theory, Hengyuan Plaza and Huijin Plaza in Shanghai are worth only around 500 billion yuan, but considering their special status in commercial real estate, Chen Xiao gave them a very high premium.

While Pengcheng Wanshang Mall is good, there's a huge difference between "good" and "best." Chen Xiao absolutely needs the best; but he can negotiate slowly and offer a premium for the good one, but it can't be too outrageous, otherwise it will cause trouble for his future acquisitions.

Wanshangcheng previously sold a project to Junxiao Commercial Management, which is now Junwu Plaza in Tianning City. This time, Wanshangcheng in Pengcheng has taken it back, and according to its positioning, it can no longer be used for Junwu Plaza, so it will be given to the Junxiaocheng project instead. Meanwhile, Junxiao Commercial Management is already acquiring land and building its own commercial plazas in major first-tier and super first-tier cities across the country. The next generation of super urban complexes will basically be given to the Junwu Plaza project.

Xu Wu talked with Chen Xiao and they planned to speed up the expansion of the Junwu Plaza project. At that time, Zhao Hui and Lin Ya would each be in charge of a system. Before that, they would focus on spreading the Junwu Plaza system all over the country.

Junxiao Plaza is positioned as a fashion and trendy brand. Such projects can be opened in many regions, not only in prefecture-level cities, but also in some well-developed counties. The ultimate goal is to have around 500 stores nationwide.

Junwu Plaza is different. According to the current plan, cities with a GDP of less than 5000 billion yuan are not considered because their consumption power cannot accommodate a super urban complex with a size of 30 square meters.

Currently, there are only about 40 cities nationwide with a GDP exceeding 500 billion yuan. However, cities like Shanghai, Beijing, and even Shenzhen can accommodate 2-3 Junwu Plazas each, so the final plan will not exceed 50 stores. Although there are fewer than 50 stores, Xu Wu still requires this project to achieve an annual sales volume of 200 billion yuan or even more, given its massive scale.

Junxiao Plaza has 500 stores, and its annual sales target is over 8000 billion yuan. The main problem is that the annual sales in many third- and fourth-tier cities will drag down the overall figure. If these plazas can achieve 10 billion yuan in sales in a year, it is already a very good project.

The Junxiaocheng system will likely only have around 30 stores in the end, but the planned annual sales volume is over 2000 billion yuan. This means that once the nationwide layout is complete, Junxiao Commercial Management's final annual sales target is over 1.2 trillion yuan. At the same time, annual rental income is expected to reach over 2000 billion yuan.

Of course, this goal cannot be achieved in one or two years. Xu Wu has set a five-year plan, meaning that in five years, Junxiao Commercial Management System will become a super commercial behemoth with annual revenue exceeding one trillion yuan, profits exceeding 200 billion yuan, and assets reaching two trillion yuan. At that time, any force will be powerless in its presence; Wansheng Group will be nothing but a chicken and a dog.

Guo Fu has already been sent back to Hong Kong Island by plane today. These past two days, Chen Xiao has made her kneel down and sing "Conquer" quite a few times, and she even cried several times. Zhang Ziqian was just saying that President Guo's knees are all red, and suggested that the mattress in the dressing room should be replaced with a softer one. However, Chen Xiao severely criticized her, saying that this girl really lacks experience; too soft a mattress would actually hinder her performance.

Junxiao Group is now renowned for its extravagant spending, never haggling over a hundred million or two hundred million. Last time, Zhao Hui paid them several hundred million in premium for the acquisition of Wanshangcheng in Tianning, so when Wanshangcheng in Pengcheng expressed interest in selling, they immediately contacted Junxiao Group.

It just so happens that Xu Wu recently inspected Yuecheng, and because he made headlines in the financial news, people from Wanshang Group came to contact him. The reason they didn't contact Xu Jun is probably because this is an acquisition worth tens of billions, and they felt it would be safer to contact the CEO of Junxiao Group. Xu Jun certainly wouldn't have that much authority.

This was a lucky break, and a win-win situation for everyone. Wanmao was short of cash flow, so they liquidated their assets to get cash back. Meanwhile, the string of numbers in Chen Xiao's account looked like worthless paper; it would be much more practical to turn them into fixed assets.

Xu Wu originally said she would stay in Pengcheng to oversee the signing ceremony, but Chen Xiao firmly disagreed. He joked that it had been almost a month since they last met, and she should come back so he could pamper her properly. If they waited a few more days, what if something unexpected happened and they missed each other again?

Before ending the call, Chen Xiao said directly, "Even if there's a mountain of gold in front of you right now, don't even glance at it. Hurry back; they need you here."

He chuckled, amused. Given his current status, President Xu is usually stern and unsmiling in public, and it's likely that he can only laugh freely with Chen Xiao around.

After he finished the call, Zhang Ziqian reported to him that the second-hand Gulfstream G700 private jet she had asked Hassan to buy had all the formalities completed and was ready for use.

"So fast?"

Because it's a second-hand aircraft, it involves purchase review and import permit application. If it involves international flights, special flight permits and route declarations are also required, which is very troublesome.

Zhang Ziqian laughed. The boss of Junxiao Group bought a private jet, so naturally there were people helping to supervise and expedite many procedures. Just look at the GDP and tax revenue that Junxiao Group contributes to the local area. It would be treated like a golden treasure anywhere.

“Perfect timing. Let’s fly directly to Yuecheng and have President Xu take a private jet back. It’ll save him the trouble of traveling by car.”

"Keep an eye on Hassan on the other planes and speed things up."

He didn't feel it when he didn't have a private jet, but now that the first one has just arrived, he feels it's not enough. Given the current situation, he wouldn't be able to meet his daily needs without at least five planes.

Xu Jun was already in Shanghai. Chen Xiao checked the time; the signing was probably underway by now. He could imagine that Junxiao Group would dominate the headlines of major financial news outlets again today. Xu Jun was doing very well now, able to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the chairman of a company like Hengyuan Real Estate Group, a company with a scale exceeding 500 billion yuan. Things were completely different now compared to two months ago. After acquiring Ganglong International and Shanghai Huijin Plaza, Junxiao Commercial Management was practically a household name, and Chairman Xu Jun was already a top figure in the national commercial real estate industry. This rapid growth had left Xu Jun feeling somewhat isolated at the top.

At the Wansheng Group headquarters, General Manager Wang looked at Wang Jun with a deep gaze and said, "I heard the signing ceremony started this morning, 950 billion?"

Wang Jun nodded heavily. They had been paying close attention to this acquisition, and even helped push it forward in order to deplete Junxiao Commercial Management's cash flow. After all, the positioning of this project did not conflict with Wansheng Group. At the time, they thought that rather than letting Junxiao Commercial Management acquire some of Wansheng Group's light-asset projects or local projects and create strong competition with Wansheng Group, it would be better to let them acquire top-tier luxury shopping malls like Hengyuan Plaza and Huijin Plaza, and let them compete with other companies doing high-end commerce. It would be best to beat them to a pulp.

But now that they have successfully completed the acquisition, and everyone should be celebrating together, President Wang and Wang Jun are not happy at all. Junxiao Commercial Management's offensive across the country has not decreased but increased. Wansheng Group really can't afford to burn through money like this.

Rubbing his temples, Mr. Wang had a headache. Sometimes he wondered if he should just sell the entire Wansheng Group to Junxiao Commercial Management. Suddenly, he was startled. How could he have such a thought? He had founded Wansheng Group from scratch; it was his proudest achievement. How could he even consider selling it off? Was he really getting old, his former vigor gone?

No, he's still in his prime at 60 and can still work. He doesn't believe Junxiao Group has unlimited funds.

"I want to see if they can still be this aggressive after this acquisition," Mr. Wang said coldly.

He didn't know that Chen Xiao had always been very aggressive, and now he was spending money faster and faster. With so much money in his account, Chen Xiao felt very uncomfortable if he didn't spend it.

"Ziqian, how long until Junxing Motors' super smart factory goes into production?"

Zhang Ziqian follows up on these matters every day and is basically an expert in everything. Upon hearing this, she immediately replied, "At the earliest, mid-June."

"Then construction of the second super factory can start in June, and the new models on Xu Gang's side need to be accelerated."

"President Xu is also working hard. Two new models will be launched in the second half of the year: a large SUV and an executive sedan."

When they talked about work, Ma Jing could only provide service, since she hadn't been there long. When Chen Xiao asked about work-related matters, he still preferred to ask Zhang Ziqian. After taking a sip of the tea that Ma Jing had refilled, he asked, "Two models for the second half of the year, what about next year?"

Zhang Ziqian immediately smiled, "Because President Xu has been losing money and doesn't have enough funds, he's still thinking about whether to wait a bit longer before starting the car model project next year."

It takes about 20 billion yuan to start a car project. Junxing Motors has been losing money so far. Although the Junxing M7 is selling well, the limited production capacity and slow delivery speed have resulted in poor cash flow. If the two models launched in the second half of the year can also sell as well, the funding problem should be solved.

"This Xu Gang is a bit old-fashioned. Junxing Motors is short of money, doesn't he know to ask President Xu for it? There are hundreds of billions sitting in the accounts."

Zhang Ziqian leaned slightly forward, picked up her teacup, and seemed a little thirsty. Chen Xiao followed the V-neckline and saw a patch of snow-white skin—truly full.

I've liked him this way for a long time. Zhang Ziqian is also very open and generous now, otherwise how could he have seen her by accident?

“I have already reminded General Manager Xu that after he returns this time, he will go to report to him in person and ask for the money back.”

"He's demanding money, demanding money. Xu Gang is such a spineless coward. This is for development, and he's asking for money with a clear conscience. If we don't give it to him, he slams his fist on the table. Look at him, acting like a coward. When has President Xu ever lacked the funds they need for development? Doesn't he see that Xu Jun is spending nearly a hundred billion outside? His little bit of money is nothing. Tell him to be bolder and stop acting like a doormat, as if someone in the company is bullying him. He even took the initiative to expand the second super factory a while ago, but he didn't even mention this matter."

Despite the scolding, Zhang Ziqian knew that the boss was generally satisfied with Xu Gang. However, Xu Gang wasn't by his side every day and wasn't yet familiar with the bosses' temperaments, often approaching problems with old, ingrained thinking. He needed time; he believed things would improve after a few adjustments. Xu Gang was hesitant to mention it because of the billions Xu had given him last time. Asking for 100 billion every month—the thought was incredibly nerve-wracking; which company would dare spend money like that?

"When President Xu returns, I'll talk to her. Junxing Motors needs to accelerate its development. The competition in the new energy vehicle market is so fierce now; if we're not careful, we won't even have a chance to be on the table. There are hundreds of car brands in China now, and in the end, it will be good if 10 survive. The truly mainstream brands will definitely not exceed 5. This is the most brutal battlefield, so if she needs it, we can provide her with more resources."

He just couldn't understand why, even though President Xu's focus was about to shift entirely to him, he was still acting so timidly and hesitantly.

Among the various sectors of Junxiao Group, Junxiao Commercial Management has seen the fastest team integration. Xu Jun has Zhao Hui, Lin Ya, Huang Guangyuan, and soon Liu Pinhua, a business tycoon, under his command. It has already become the commercial management company with the highest net assets in the domestic commercial real estate sector.

That's right, it has the highest net assets, and by a wide margin. While Wansheng Group's annual revenue currently exceeds Junxiao Commercial Management's, many of its assets are asset-light. It has to pay a portion of its rental income to the property owners. Junxiao Commercial Management, on the other hand, owns all its properties, making rental income pure profit. Its numerous core projects with substantial asset holdings are something Wansheng Group cannot currently match, especially after acquiring Shanghai Huijin Plaza, Hengyuan Plaza, and Pengcheng Wanshangcheng. It can confidently declare – who else can compete?

"You will be at the top of the mountain, and you will have a panoramic view of all the small mountains."

Junxiao Commercial Management has already achieved this status in the commercial real estate sector. Although it still has a long way to go to reach the net assets of over 2 trillion yuan and annual revenue of over 1.2 trillion yuan planned by Chen Xiao and Xu Wu, in terms of assets, no other commercial management company can compare with it now.

As for revenue, it is believed that by next year at the latest, it will surpass Wansheng Group to become the number one in China. At that point, Junxiao Commercial Management only needs to continue with its current strategy, advancing step by step, and no one will be able to stop Junxiao Commercial Management's overwhelming offensive.

Junxiao Hotel Management Group is in a similar situation. Since each city may have only one or two 6-star hotels, Gaoyue has few competitors when it comes to luxury hotels. In addition, Junxiao has two super 7-star hotels, which makes its reputation known worldwide. In terms of hotel reputation in China, it is also in a class of its own. The next step is to keep buying and building.

While building her own hotels, Gao Yue is also planning the next generation of six-star hotels, drawing on the experience of the Dubai Panorama Hotel and the Seoul Signoria Hotel to create two seven-star hotels of her own in China. She plans to invest over 100 billion yuan in each hotel. Chen Xiao supports this, and the two had already discussed it in bed. He'll pamper his woman, and let alone 100 billion yuan, if she has the ability to build something even more magnificent than a palace, he'll give her 200 billion yuan.

Chen Xiao's generosity naturally earned him Gao Yue's obsequiousness, making him extremely happy.

Xu Wu manages Junxiao Capital himself. Chen Xiao doesn't intend to make much profit from it. Therefore, he no longer needs his keen insight. What investment can make money as fast as him? Junxiao Capital has now become a tool for him to control various business sectors.

Currently, Junxiao Retail and Junxing Auto are the weaker areas, and Chen Xiao will focus his attention on these two areas going forward. Junxing Auto, in particular, could far surpass Junxiao Commercial Management in scale if it performs well, given its global reach.

Another part is the Junxiao Charity Foundation. This part can be large or small, depending entirely on my mood. I initially said I would give He Qing 50 billion yuan every year, just to give her something to do. She is kind-hearted and suitable for this. So far, it seems to be going well. At least she is very happy with it.

To put it bluntly, this project was something he created to give his woman something to do while simultaneously building up his charity work. He completely handed it over to He Qing to play with, and Xu Wu didn't care about her at all. Therefore, Chen Xiao was both angry and amused that Li Xiao, that idiot, actually came to report He Qing. How could he be so brainless as to complain about He Qing?

Thinking of He Qing, that girl has been working hard these past few days, going to Xishan Linyu every day and bearing the shockwaves of her own life alone. She hasn't been able to get up on time for work these past two mornings.

"Okay, it's time." He was going to pick up He Qing from get off work. They were both at Xishan Linyu now, and if they were both at the company, they would go back together.

Watching Chen Xiao's departing figure, Ma Jing said quietly, "Ziqian, did you notice how lewd Chen Xiao's smile was just now?"

Zhang Ziqian covered her mouth and said, "Yesterday at the Yunfeng Building, I saw that President He could barely stand; his legs were shaking."

Ma Jing chuckled, "You never say that in front of him, always acting all gentle and sweet, like I'm the crazy one. Actually, you're much better at 'driving' than I am."

On the 28th floor of Yunfeng Building, there was a man in his early twenties, quite handsome, with a smile on his face, giving off an extremely confident vibe.

"Hello, I'm looking for Wang Ping." (End of Chapter)
