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

Lu Tao, the regional general manager of Junxiao Business Management's third war zone, saw this report in his office and couldn't help but sigh for a long time.

Xu Jun knew about it when he went to sign the contract, but when he saw the report, he still couldn't suppress his excitement. He was very glad that he made a quick decision back then, which made him one of the first batch of Wansheng Group executives to "abandon darkness and embrace light", and thus he was given a regional general manager position.

Although his position as regional manager was slightly inferior to Zhao Hui and Lin Ya's—the latter two being vice presidents of Junxiao Commercial Management Group and members of the group's board of directors—Lu Tao was merely a regional manager within the Junxiao Plaza system. Even so, he was content.

Look at the speed of Junxiao Commercial Management's development. They were the first to lead the crackdown on Junxiao Commercial Management, which at that time only had six Junxiao Plazas in Hanjiang Province, with total assets of less than 10 billion yuan. But after half a year of this crackdown, Junxiao Commercial Management's net assets have reached 350 billion yuan. What a joke! It's hard to say who will be the next to besiege whom.

As soon as this financial report came out, Lu Tao received a lot of messages from former employees of Wansheng Group. He estimated that those who had hesitated before would also have to consider switching sides quickly, because if they waited any longer, there might not be any more positions available for them.

By the end of this month at the latest, the regional general managers for dozens of regions across the country will be finalized, because by then, Junxiao Commercial Management's core projects in all provinces and municipalities will have already established branch offices.

At home, Lin Jian sighed to Lin Ping, who had just returned from vacation, "Too ruthless, too ruthless. How could it be so fast? It feels like Wansheng Group is completely vulnerable."

Lin Ping chuckled, "They were already easily defeated."

"Get lost—", Lin Ping originally wanted to show off, but Lin Jian scared him so much that he trembled.

Do you think I'm incompetent?

Previously, Lifan Commercial Management was severely squeezed by Wansheng Group. Lin Jian always attributed the problem to the strong strength of Wansheng Group, which was overwhelming to other commercial management companies in terms of brand power, financial strength, and talent.

But now Wansheng Group is like a chicken or a dog in front of Junxiao Commercial Management, being defeated and retreating one after another. Moreover, this situation is getting worse and worse. He has a feeling that Wansheng Group may not be able to survive until the end of next year.

“I told you to go study properly with your sister, why did you come back here for no reason? If we’re counting on you to inherit this family business, you might just squander it all one day.”

"Damn, the men in Lin Jian really have no status," Lin Ping thought, feeling incredibly frustrated. After a moment's thought, he replied, "My brother-in-law says I've made great progress lately."

"Who? Your brother-in-law—Chen Xiao?"

Lin Ping nodded guiltily. His brother-in-law had patted him on the shoulder before, which must have been a compliment to him for doing a good job.

As expected, it worked. When Lin Jian heard Chen Xiao speak, he immediately nodded and said, "Not bad. Then keep up the good work. It seems you've made progress recently."

Well, my brother-in-law and sister-in-law's words are all authoritative, while what I say is all nonsense. I'm not coming back next holiday; I'm really suffering.

"Lin Ping, what kind of person is your brother-in-law?"

When Lin Jian went to Jiangzhou last time, he didn't know about Lin Ya's relationship with Chen Xiao. Given his status, even meeting Xu Jun felt like an honor; he wouldn't dare dream of meeting the big boss of Junxiao Group. After Lin Ya returned and learned about her relationship with Chen Xiao, Lin Jian regretted never having met Chen Xiao. He mentioned to Lin Ya several times that he should take him to meet him sometime.

Lin Ya is currently traveling all over the country, across three war zones, all competing to see who can develop faster. As a result, she rarely returns to Jiangzhou. Even when she does, it's mostly for meetings, with only a little time to interact with Chen Xiao. Therefore, there's no time to arrange a meeting between Lin Jian and Chen Xiao.

Lin Ping stood up and stretched his arms. After thinking for a moment, he said in what he thought was a very humorous tone, "I think he's a jerk."

As he said this, he was thinking about how Chen Xiao would stay in Liu Jingjing's office for hours every time he went there. The words had barely left his mouth when he suddenly felt a lightness in his body and plopped down on the sofa. At the same time, he felt a sharp pain in his lower back—he'd been kicked by Lin Jian.

"What nonsense are you spouting, you little beast? Do you want to die?"

It's no wonder he was nervous. The boss of Junxiao Group was too intimidating. Junxiao Commercial Management alone had a net worth of 3500 billion. In addition, he had never met Chen Xiao and felt a distance from her, so he was still afraid. Of course, more importantly, he was afraid of affecting his daughter.

Lin Ping rubbed his lower back, almost crying. "Damn it, I'm done. Is this even my own home? I can't even make a joke behind closed doors and I get beaten up." Before he could explain, Lin Jian understood what he meant. "Lin Ping, let me tell you, men who aren't scumbags are only scumbags because they don't have the ability to be. Like you, do you even have the right to be a scumbag?"

Damn, that hurt my pride. Lin Ping stood up without saying a word, went back to his room, and secretly vowed to learn from his brother-in-law and become a scumbag who is still admirable.

At the Tan Family Restaurant, Gao Lei waited in a private room with two cases of Moutai liquor beside him. His special assistant asked, "Mr. Gao, should we order the dishes first or wait until the guests arrive?"

"Here, I'll order first, and we'll add more when the guests arrive."

There weren't many people around at night; there were two of us on our side and two on the other side.

Today's banquet is for the business director of Zhifei Aerospace. It was Mr. Liu who initially negotiated the cooperation between Gaoda Electronics Technology Co., Ltd. and Zhifei Aerospace. I am here today to express my gratitude and to further our cooperation. It's a pity that I can't get an appointment with Director Cha. If he were here, he could easily give us some business, and our company's performance would take another leap forward.

He is a supplier of electronic components for some drones and intelligent equipment for Zhifei Aerospace. Although he is a boss and usually seems quite successful, he still unconsciously feels inferior in front of his clients because they hold his life and death in their hands. Currently, 80% of his company's orders come from Zhifei Aerospace. If Zhifei Aerospace were to terminate its cooperation with him one day, all of his production capacity would be wasted, and a large amount of equipment investment would go down the drain.

Let alone in the short term, even looking across the entire country, he couldn't find many companies that received as many orders as Zhifei Aerospace. Many large companies wouldn't even consider him. Although his product quality was excellent, there were several other companies on the market that could produce the same products, making them highly substitutable. Therefore, he could only rely on connections and pricing to secure business.

While waiting for Mr. Liu to arrive, he opened his phone to browse the news and was shocked to see the big news that Junxiao Commercial Management had acquired Shanghai Hengyuan Real Estate.

Seeing the record-breaking 950 billion yuan merger and acquisition deal, the largest in the country, and Junxiao Commercial Management's net assets of 3500 billion yuan, Gao Lei finally realized just how terrifying this business behemoth, Junxiao Group, truly was. He was even more incredulous that Wang Ping could serve as the financial director of the Junxiao Charitable Foundation. Could it be that his junior colleague had some connections within Junxiao Group? Alas, it was a pity that she didn't have a good impression of him; otherwise, she could have helped him get involved in Junxiao Group's connections, and perhaps even gotten him a foothold in Junxing Auto's business.

Thinking about this, he suddenly realized that he really needed to find a way to maintain a good relationship with Wang Ping, not only because of He Qing, but also because it might help his business.

Junxing Auto was a key target in his negotiations. Why did he choose it? Because Junxing Auto's super intelligent factory, Zhifei Aerospace, was involved in its construction, and Zhifei Aerospace is his biggest customer. Naturally, he hoped to leverage his connections there. The Junxing M7 is selling very well now, and based on the current situation, annual sales of 200,000 units shouldn't be too much of a challenge. He heard that Junxing Auto has two more models coming out in the second half of the year. Even if they don't sell as well as the Junxing M7, achieving 300,000 units for the whole year shouldn't be a problem. If a cooperation could be established, his company would take another big step forward next year.

Soon after, Mr. Liu and his team arrived. Accompanying him was an employee from his department, whom Mr. Liu introduced as Xiao Zhang.

Gao Lei invited General Manager Liu to sit down. Although he was the boss of the company and the other party was just an employee and a department leader, Gao Lei still attached great importance to him and asked General Manager Liu to sit at the head table. However, General Manager Liu was very humble and did not want to overshadow the host.

Gao Lei sat down, thinking to himself, "She really comes from a big company; she has no airs at all. My junior colleague, Wang Ping, should really learn from her. Logically speaking, Junxiao Group is many times stronger than Zhifei Aerospace, but Wang Ping is far behind in terms of interpersonal skills. However, Wang Ping is a finance professional, and finance people are generally difficult to deal with, unlike those who work in sales, who are all very shrewd and diplomatic."

Mr. Liu sat down and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry. We could have left earlier, but Mr. Cha happened to come to the company today, so we didn't dare to leave early."

It's clear that these people are terrified of General Manager Cha. They have no choice but to be. In Cha Lan's words, Zhifei Aerospace's development to this point has absolutely nothing to do with their business team. This is truly the most bizarre business team in history—a business team that should have been bringing in more orders for the company has become the client, giving orders to others.

So, while Mr. Liu and his team enjoyed immense prestige outside, they couldn't hold their heads high at the company. They were seen as a bunch of freeloaders, even feeling that the cleaning lady contributed more than them. Even without Mr. Cha's scolding, they were self-aware enough to know they had to keep a low profile at the company. Gao Lei certainly didn't understand this. In a tech company like this, where distribution channels are king, the sales team is one of the most important departments—the department that generates revenue for the company. Why would this department need to be monitored for attendance? Gao Lei couldn't comprehend it.

"Mr. Liu, the business department is so important, does Mr. Cha still need to do attendance and performance evaluation?"

Mr. Liu said, "No, it's just that we consciously abide by the rules." This is what it means to keep a low profile. Zhifei Aerospace is doing better and better now. Not to mention that their salaries and benefits have increased significantly, everyone calls him Mr. Liu when they go out. Even Mr. Gao, who is the boss of a company worth over a billion, treats him with great respect.

It wasn't like this a year ago. Back then, I was practically ignored by everyone. I had to beg and plead with many small companies, and I still couldn't get any orders. I remember that at that time, our department was being managed by the newly appointed business director, Ms. Xu. It was after Ms. Xu arrived that we started to get some orders. No, I should say that she got a great salesperson, and from that day on, the company took off.

From that day on, this business department became a mere formality. The boss didn't even bother to look at the orders they negotiated. They couldn't even finish all the orders from that person each month. Now the company is constantly increasing production capacity. Gaoda Electronics Technology Co., Ltd. became a supplier under these circumstances.

I never imagined that I was worse off than the cleaning lady inside the company, but outside I was a guest of honor for these bosses. Gao Lei's special assistant had already opened the Moutai liquor, and filled a bottle for each of the four people.

The group chatted casually for a while. After learning that Gao Lei was from Hanjiang, General Manager Liu became interested and asked him where his hometown was. Coincidentally, the two were both from Chongqing. They were even from the same hometown. They had been discussing business in a more formal way and hadn't talked about each other's family situations. That's why business is always discussed over drinks. Here, they could talk about personal matters. As they chatted, they ended up talking about each other's family life.

When talking about Chongqing and the Han River, the topic naturally turns to Junxiao Group. Perhaps all Han River residents will easily mention this company when chatting; it is the true god of Han River.

Gao Lei mentioned today's financial headlines about Junxiao Commercial Management's 950 billion yuan acquisition of Hengyuan Plaza. President Liu also got excited and went on and on about Junxiao Group, making Gao Lei wonder if this guy wanted to join Junxiao Group. Junxiao Group is indeed powerful, but you can't exaggerate it to the point that it's about to become a top global conglomerate. That's too far-fetched.

However, upon closer reflection, Mr. Liu was not exaggerating. Junxiao Commercial Management alone has net assets of 3500 billion yuan. So what about the entire Junxiao Group? Wouldn't it be over a trillion yuan? This is a trillion yuan in net assets, not a trillion yuan in market value. Wouldn't such a company be one of the world's top companies?

Taking advantage of Mr. Liu's words, he asked, "Is Mr. Liu familiar with the people at Junxiao Group?"

Mr. Liu glanced at Xiao Zhang beside him, and the two of them laughed. They laughed at Gao Lei's incomprehension, and then Mr. Liu said, "Would you believe me if I said I know Xu Wu, the CEO of Junxiao Group?"

Gao Lei was completely bewildered, not understanding what he meant. As for the claim that he knew President Xu, he didn't believe a word of it. He also said he knew Musk, but did Musk know him?

“I knew you wouldn’t believe me. I not only know Mr. Xu, but he was also my former boss.”

Hmm? Seeing that Mr. Liu wasn't faking it, he immediately became interested. This was a connection with powerful backers! "Tell me more about it?"

When he learned that Xu Wu was the business director of Zhifei Aerospace a year ago, which is the same position as General Manager Liu, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time. "Wow, if I had come to Zhifei Aerospace to talk business six months earlier, wouldn't I have had the opportunity to meet General Manager Xu? Wouldn't I be rich now?"
I was about to ask Mr. Liu if he could make an introduction, but then I realized how stupid I was. What kind of status does Ms. Xu have now? How could she possibly see someone like me? Even if she used to be Mr. Liu's boss, she couldn't possibly entertain him now. She's too busy. And Mr. Liu probably wouldn't dare to bother her. As for the fact that she was my former boss, I could only treat that as a legendary story.

However, he still asked Mr. Liu if he could introduce him to someone from Junxiao Group or Junxing Motors. Mr. Liu knew what he wanted to do as soon as he heard this, but unfortunately, he couldn't really help. He had a lot of status as the client, but at Junxiao Group, they were the service provider, and besides, Mr. Cha personally handled all the cases there, so he had no way of getting into that circle.

Finally, he gave Gao Lei the contact information of the director in charge of supply chain at Junxing Motors. Gao Lei was overjoyed, thinking he couldn't accept the meal for nothing. Although he could get the contact information himself, having someone introduce him made a difference, especially if it was a big company like Zhifei Aerospace. They would give him some face.

Moreover, he could tell from what General Manager Liu said that Xu Gang, the chairman of Junxing Automobile, also respected Cha Lan and even communicated with him by phone frequently, which was quite different from the usual company introductions.

Sure enough, he added the other party on WeChat, indicating that he was recommended by Zhifei Aerospace. The other party was very polite, and Mr. Tian agreed to meet the next day to discuss cooperation.

After achieving their goal, the atmosphere for drinking became much more relaxed. He then asked Mr. Liu if he was familiar with the Junxiao Charity Foundation. Mr. Liu frankly admitted that he had never dealt with them, but he had heard that it was a charity organization established by the Junxiao Group, and that all its funding came directly from the big boss of the Junxiao Group, and it did not accept external funding.

Gao Lei cursed under his breath, "What a nouveau riche!" They don't even accept external funding. Other people do charity to gain fame, but Junxiao Group doesn't do any publicity for its charity work. They use their own money for it. And judging from the staffing of the Junxiao Charity Foundation's office, it's probably quite large.

However, considering that Wang Ping, a financial director, was able to donate 1000 million yuan to her alma mater to build a library, one can imagine that the fund pool is quite large.

Mr. Liu then shared what he had heard, saying that four Hope Primary Schools had been donated in Chongqing alone. Seeing that Gao Lei's expression was normal, he knew that he had misunderstood the kind of Hope Primary Schools that cost hundreds of thousands of yuan each. He sighed and said, "The donated Hope Primary Schools are all built to the high standards of 5 million yuan primary schools, with the hardware configuration fully upgraded. I heard that even the food in the canteen is provided by the Junxiao Charity Foundation."

Gao Lei gasped. This was a continuous investment. One or two schools wouldn't seem like much, but this was a long-term commitment. If there were hundreds of primary schools across the country, the food expenses alone would be enormous. He had underestimated the Junxiao Charity Foundation's ambition; they were planning to build over 500 schools a year.

"Although I'm not familiar with them, Mr. Cha is quite familiar with them. I feel that Mr. Cha values ​​them more than Junxing Motors."

He seemed somewhat confused. Junxing Auto's super intelligent factory was partly built by Zhifei Aerospace, involving a business worth billions. The Junxiao Charitable Foundation had absolutely no connection with Zhifei Aerospace. Even if Zhifei Aerospace wanted to do charity, they wouldn't accept your funds. He couldn't understand why President Cha mentioned the Junxiao Charitable Foundation, clearly indicating that he valued it more.

If he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't think about it anymore. Gao Lei spent the whole afternoon thinking but still couldn't understand how Wang Ping, so young and with such a bad temper, had become the CFO. It seemed this Junxiao Charitable Foundation was quite mysterious. Of course, it was part of the Junxiao Group after all.

Meanwhile, Cha Lan and Xu Jun met at Lao Jia's restaurant. Lao Jia was almost in tears when he saw them. "Both of you, why hasn't President Chen been coming lately? Did I do something wrong and upset him?"

Seeing his resentful look, Cha Lan laughed. They dared not speculate on what President Chen was thinking, but regarding his hometown, Cha Lan guessed that President Chen probably didn't lack chefs there; the "personal chef" on the 58th floor of Junxiao Lakeside CBD Center was definitely more skilled than Lao Jia.

Cha Lan asked Lao Jia to help open the bottle, and said to Xu Jun, "This is a 50-year-old Moutai that I got from General Manager Chen. Have a good taste."

It was said to be a coincidence, but it was also a joke. The Azam ship had a lot of expensive wines on board, which must have been because Chen Xiao gave the order. Otherwise, Cha Lan wouldn't have been so greedy for such a small gain. With his current net worth, he could easily get his hands on these things.

"Old Jia, come and have a couple of drinks later." Back when he, Li Guoqiang, and Chen Xiaogang first met, they often came here, so they treated Old Jia like a friend. Even now that they are worth billions, they are still very kind to him.

Xu Jun returned to Jiangzhou immediately after the signing ceremony in Shanghai in the afternoon. Cha Lan invited him to have a few drinks that evening after congratulating him by phone and learning that he was on his way back.

In terms of fame, Xu Jun is far superior to Cha Lan, but Cha Lan is the boss himself and one of Chen Xiao's friends. In addition, Xu Wu used to be the sales director of his company and has always been grateful to him. Therefore, Xu Jun attaches great importance to and respects him.

"Old Xu, you can finally get some rest now that you're back."

Cha Lan personally poured him more wine, which Xu Jun accepted with both hands. "How can I rest now? Junxiao Commercial Management is now launching a nationwide offensive. I need to quickly defeat Wansheng Group. This is the task that President Chen gave me."

At this point, his expression became somewhat strange. This time last year, he was still a store manager for Wansheng Group in Jiangzhou. Back then, he thought Wansheng Group was the most stable and powerful commercial management company in the country, and he could work there for his entire life. Who would have thought that a year later, he would be thinking of quickly ending it, and he was confident that he could do so soon. He believed that the future of commercial real estate would enter the era of Junxiao Commercial Management, and Wansheng Group would become a thing of the past.

"President Xu has been inspecting the market for almost a month now. I'm going to wait for her to come back in Jiangzhou this time so I can give her a detailed report on what I've gathered."

Since taking over Junxiao Group, Xu Wu has rarely traveled on business like this. Cha Lan heard that some problems were discovered during this inspection, so a comprehensive inspection was launched. Of course, the main focus was on Junxing Auto. This inspection was mainly on the supply chain. Junxing Auto is going to make a strong push in the next step, and the preparatory work must be done well before that.

The phone rang just as he finished speaking. Xu Jun picked it up, glanced at it, and jumped to his feet like a student being called on by a teacher. (End of Chapter)
