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

Xu Jun has been busy expanding Junxiao Commercial Management's business, traveling all over the country, and hasn't been back to Jiangzhou for almost a month.

This opening of "Star Palace" gave me a chance to run into President Chen. At his position, he still needs to make his presence felt in front of the boss from time to time.

Zhang Shijie was the same. If it weren't for reporting on the "Star Palace" matter, even though he was the chairman of a multi-billion dollar group, he wouldn't have had a chance to talk to President Chen.

Chen Xiao chatted with everyone for a few minutes, making them feel valued. He especially spoke to Liu Pinhua, who had been close to them since his time with Hengyuan Group and had given Chen Xiao a lot of advice when Chen Xiao first considered starting a luxury brand. Therefore, Chen Xiao had a very good impression of him.

After he arrived here, not only did they retain his position as general manager of Junxiaocheng (formerly Hengyuan Plaza), but they also gave him the position of vice president of the Junxiaocheng system. At the same time, they gave him a high-level annual salary of 600 million yuan, plus year-end bonuses, which easily amounted to tens of millions of yuan.

Chen Xiao would naturally not treat those who have made contributions to the group unfairly.

Zhang Shijie reported to him that the Inno Group's Q2 performance and profit growth far exceeded expectations, and the Q2 dividend would also be much higher than before. He mentioned the dividend as a joke, saying that with President Chen's net worth, he wouldn't care about such a small amount of money.

Little did they know, Chen Xiao really valued this highly. It was Xiang Jun's ammunition depot for spending her professional dedication reward fund. The more dividends she received, the more she could spend, which would then be enough to inject capital into Jun Xiao Group.

The money Chen Xiao gives to Xiang Jun, which Xiang Jun spends on him, does not include any "dedication bonus" funds. Xiang Jun's income comes from dividends from Yinuo Group and Jiexun Sports Group. Jiexun Sports is currently expanding rapidly and needs money, so it's unlikely to distribute dividends in the short term. Therefore, Yinuo Group is her only source of funds.

Huang Guangyuan followed behind them. As one of Chen Xiao's earliest associates, President Chen had always been quite kind to him.

Chen Xiao was quite satisfied with the first store, considering the sales staff's appearance, the store's decor and quality, etc. He knew he wasn't as professional as Zhang Shijie and his team in managing brands, but as long as the image was satisfactory, that was enough. The rest was up to the market to decide. If the market accepted it, performance would improve; if not, adjustments would be made. He wasn't worried about losses anyway, as he owned all the properties.

Several people accompanied Chen Xiao as they looked around the building. Since the former Huijin Plaza was renamed Junxiao City, it has become even more popular, and many big stars like to come here to explore the shops.

"Next month, three stores will open at the same time. Can we manage that?"

Junxiaocheng (formerly Hengyuan Plaza store), as well as stores on Rodeo Street in South Korea and Champs-Élysées in Paris, will all open next month.

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I'm handling everything personally, there won't be any problems."

He nodded. He trusted Zhang Shijie's abilities and wondered if he should go to South Korea next month. Lee Ji-eun was quite good at investing, so he could support her in buying some quality assets in South Korea.

He calculated the money he was about to receive and was no longer satisfied with just buying things domestically. Now that the influence of "Blue Star Guardian" was growing and could protect him, it was the perfect time to start a shopping spree!

Returning to the hotel from Junxiao City, he found Li Zhi'en and Meng Ziyi, two beautiful women, waiting for him. He couldn't let them down. As he got into the car, he turned around and noticed that Li Xiaona and Zhang Man were still with him.

"You don't need to go back to the hotel, go do your own thing." It wasn't that he was heartless, but these two people simply didn't meet his standards for being women.

Zhang Man hesitated for a moment, then said, "Mr. Chen, we'd like to spend a little more time with you."

Chen Xiao smiled and nodded. He wanted to see what these two were up to. Corporate espionage? It didn't seem like it. After getting into the car, he said to Zhang Ziqian in the front seat, "Investigate these two's backgrounds as well."

However, there was no information about these two people, making it quite troublesome to investigate them. This was the reason why Chen Xiao had them follow him after thinking about it. He also wanted to find out who they were and what they wanted. They couldn't just be there to give him his first time, could they?

In the suite at Junxiao Hotel, He Qing, Zhang Ziqian, Wang Ping, and others were chatting in the room, while in the master bedroom, Chen Xiao was directing a scene—General Chen striking down the two heroes with his staff.

This grand production features two female leads, international superstar Lee Ji-eun and rising Chinese actress Meng Ziyi, with roughly equal screen time for each. Director Chen impartially directed both actresses, providing guidance at different times. He only stopped when both actresses had reached a high level of performance.

These two big stars never dared to imagine that one day they would be acting in such a grand drama, especially with two leading ladies. But now that they are both part of the Chen family, all the concerns that big stars had about them have long been thrown to the winds in front of Chen Xiao.

The two realized a problem: they were exhausted in one-on-one situations, and they were also exhausted in two-on-one situations. Would the same result occur in three-on-one situations next time?
"I'm planning to let each of you acquire a film and television company to play around with."

Chen Xiao made a surprising statement: he did this mainly because he saw that the two of them loved the entertainment industry. Since they liked it, why not buy a film and television company and be the boss themselves?

"South Korea should acquire CJ ENM. I've looked into it. Its core businesses are TV-level streaming media and K-POP management. It also holds a partial controlling stake in HYBE."

Ah—Lee Ji-eun was startled. This was the number one film and television company in South Korea. He wanted to acquire it, and he wanted to acquire it outright.
Of course, she knew Chen Xiao wasn't short of money; the problem was that acquiring a listed company outright was a very complicated process. Fortunately, neither Chen Xiao nor she needed to handle it; a professional team was responsible for it.

"If domestic cinemas don't work out, how about Wansheng Pictures? I've looked into it before; it has 800 cinemas nationwide, accounting for 18% of the box office market. Its debt ratio is a bit high, but it's not a big problem."

The reason for considering Wansheng Film Industry is that Mr. Wang of Wansheng Group has recently spent most of the money he received from the miners in South Africa on a fight with Junxiao Business Management.

It wasn't that they lost money, but in order to stop Junxiao Commercial Management from expanding rapidly, they were forced to acquire some very mature asset-light projects. Facing such a formidable opponent as Junxiao Commercial Management, properties that weren't self-owned simply couldn't compete with Junxiao Commercial Management. They were constantly being undermined, and this undermining had been going on for almost a year. Who could stand it?

Wansheng Film Industry was run by Wang Lun, that spoiled brat, and it hadn't been very profitable. Mr. Wang wanted to sell it off, since his core business was still in commercial real estate. To compete with Junxiao Commercial Management, he needed ample cash flow, so he was now scaling back and concentrating all his funds there.

Chen Xiao wanted to take this opportunity to acquire Wansheng Pictures and let Meng Ziyi have his fun. As for giving President Wang tens of billions of yuan in cash, Chen Xiao didn't care. It would just be a matter of spending some more money to offset it. Besides, Wansheng Pictures wasn't a listed company, which would make the acquisition process much simpler for him.

I wonder if Mr. Wang would still dare to sell Wansheng Pictures if he knew about Chen Xiao's idea, and even if he did, would he be willing to sell it to Chen Xiao?
This acquisition will be conducted in Meng Ziyi's name. As for whether President Wang knows about his relationship with Chen Xiao, it's hard to say.

I didn't let them out all afternoon. These two are both very popular right now, with their schedules packed. It's not easy to run into them, so I'll let them have some fun today.

That evening, Chen Xiao and his women dined together. Li Xiaona and Zhang Man ate their own meals in the adjacent suite.

"Xiaona, have we been relegated to the sidelines?"

Li Xiaona shook her head. "With so many beautiful women around him, what are we?"

Zhang Man whispered, "We were quite confident when we came out, thinking we could charm him completely. Now it seems that unless the boss himself intervenes, there's no hope."

"Shh! You're really bold, daring to joke about anyone."

Shrinking her neck, Zhang Man suddenly felt a chill run down her spine and was so frightened that she stopped talking.

The next day at noon, the two received a notification that Mr. Chen would be leaving Shanghai that day. Zhang Man immediately asked Mr. Chen if he had time, as they wanted to see him one last time. They were informed that Mr. Chen was already out.

"No way, we wanted to see Mr. Chen off."

The hotel staff didn't know who these two people were to Mr. Chen, but they didn't dare to be negligent. They said, "Mr. Chen will be leaving the hotel for the airport this afternoon to take his private jet back. We'll see if there's an opportunity then."

Yesterday, "Star Palace" had a very impressive sales performance, with sales reaching 820 million by the evening, far exceeding expectations. To express his gratitude, Chen Xiao took Li Zhi'en and Meng Ziyi to a room in the morning to celebrate again.

In the evening, Chen Xiao led the women back to the hotel, preparing to return to Jiangzhou.

Upon receiving the news, Zhang Man and Li Xiaona rushed over to see him off, but Chen Xiao refused, saying, "Let's leave it at that. We'll meet again if fate allows." Then he said to Zhang Ziqian, "Give each of them 100 million."

Zhang Ziqian asked for their account numbers, transferred the money, and reported to Chen Xiao when she returned to her room: "These two people have new accounts. It's like they never lived in China before."

Chen Xiao nodded, unable to immediately recall the reason. He had Zhang Ziqian transfer the money to them to learn more about their situation. Now it seemed they did have some problems, but what was their purpose?

"Let the 'Blue Star Guardians' investigate." Professional matters should be handled by professionals.

Zhang Ziqian indicated that the arrangements had been made, and also told Chen Xiao that the Mr. Zhang she had met at the two watch shops in Hengyuan Plaza in Junxiao City the night before last was a distributor for the DaMi Group overseas. The DaMi Group does business globally and has many distributors, so there's no problem with that. Furthermore, Chen Xiao currently has no conflict of interest with any of the DaMi Group's distributors and has no motive to scheme against him.

Junxiao Group has grown to its current size, and not many people outside know Chen Xiao's true identity, nor do many people hold grudges against him. After much thought, the only person who might be at odds is President Wang of Wansheng Group, but that's all in the business competition. Given his status, it's unlikely he would send two corporate spies to spy on him; that would be too low-down.

As for the others, Wang Jian, who was with Huadi, although he had grievances, wouldn't do such a thing. He knew that if he were discovered, they would have to consider how fierce his counterattack would be, so he wouldn't do something that would be a losing proposition.

That "abstract live-stream car talker" who got his face slapped? He's just a minor internet celebrity; he probably doesn't have the power to arrange something like that.

"Alright, let's pack up and get ready to go back to Jiangzhou."

Zhang Ziqian glanced at the time. "If we leave today, it will be tonight."

Domestic private planes typically require 24 to 48 hours of preparation time before takeoff, but this can be reduced to 6 to 12 hours in emergencies.

The flight plan must be submitted to the Civil Aviation Administration 24 hours in advance. This includes: departure and arrival airports, flight routes, altitude, passenger list, aircraft registration number, and crew information. They originally planned to return tomorrow. Chen Xiao spoke with Xu Wu on the phone during the day and learned that she was going on another business trip tomorrow. He probably wanted to go back and spend time with her; otherwise, she would leave again tomorrow.

This is because Junxiao Group's plane, if it were someone else, wouldn't have been able to fly today and would have had to return by vehicle.

19:30 in the evening
Chen Xiao led everyone out of the hotel. Since they rarely had the chance to see Chen Xiao, they wanted to stay a few more days this time. Li Zhi'en and Meng Ziyi went to Jiangzhou with Chen Xiao this time.

When they set off, He Qing made a point of giving up the opportunity to ride with Chen Xiao.

Meng Ziyi smiled and said, "Then Zhi'en can sit with him. I have my own car, I can drive to the airport, and it will be convenient when I come back."

Lee Ji-eun shook her head: "I also have a car in Shanghai, and I'm planning to drive it to the airport. Ziyi, you can ride with me."

Chen Xiao said irritably, "What's wrong? Why do you look like you don't want to sit with me?"

Seeing them refusing to sit in front of each other, He Qing stood up and said, "You two don't need to stand there. One of you can sit in the front passenger seat, and the other can sit in the back. As for your cars, Pingping and I will drive them to the airport for you."

"What about Ziqian? Ziqian has to stay with him. If something comes up, he can't keep calling or texting her, can he?"

Chen Xiao said, "That's easy, let Ziqian sit on my lap. Haha!"

Li Zhi'en and Meng Ziyi both looked at Zhang Ziqian, seemingly unsurprised that she had a relationship with the boss. Little did they know, Zhang Ziqian was still a virgin.

Zhang Ziqian blushed deeply, "How about I sit in the passenger seat, and one of you sits on his lap?"

In the end, the opportunity was given to Lee Ji-eun because she rarely had the chance to meet Chen Xiao.

Watching Chen Xiao get into the Rolls-Royce Phantom with the three women, Zhang Man seemed a little regretful: "What a pity!"

Li Xiaona's eyes narrowed. "Don't talk nonsense."

Zhang Man nodded and explained, "What I mean is, the Rolls-Royce Phantom is still too small; it can't seat so many people, which is a pity."

He glared at her and said, "Let's go too, hurry up and go."

A convoy of one Rolls-Royce Phantom and four Buick Regal M7s sped along the elevated highway leading to the Shanghai General Aviation Airport. The reason for not choosing a commercial airport was the hassle of coordinating parking spaces and security checkpoints.

Bodyguard vehicles, one at the front and one at the back.

The Rolls-Royce Phantom's 6.75L V12 twin-turbo engine roars like a deep-sea whale's cry, as the Spirit of Ecstasy cuts through the air at night.

Following closely behind was He Qing driving Li Zhi'en's Junxing M7, with Wang Ping driving Meng Ziyi's Junxing M7 behind He Qing.

The general aviation airport is an hour and a half drive from the Bund Junxiao Hotel, but the entire route is elevated. After exiting the elevated road and crossing the bridge, it takes about 20 minutes to reach the hotel.

Zhang Ziqian reported some work progress to Chen Xiao. Yesterday, he had just gotten the idea to acquire two film and television companies for fun, and today he had already made the arrangements.

"This month, Mr. Gao has secured two more luxury hotels, one in China and the Hyatt Hotel in Jeju Island, South Korea."

Chen Xiao knew this luxury hotel; it was considered one of the top resort hotels in Asia.

Private jet helipad + yacht marina + exclusive cave spa for Black Card members. All villas, with the most expensive suite costing 15 RMB per night.

"President Gao is so amazing~!?" Li Zhien sat on Chen Xiao's lap, her skirt covering Chen Xiao's large hands.

Chen Xiao laughed and said, "President Gao is no longer satisfied with conquering territory domestically; he's starting to extend his reach internationally. Zhi'en, when you're in South Korea, you can stay at one of our own hotels."

"Mr. Gao acquired this hotel for 5 million US dollars. It is said that the negotiations for the Busan Platinum Hyatt Hotel are almost complete. If the deal goes through, he will soon monopolize the luxury hotel market in South Korea."

The Pullman Busan is the most luxurious landmark in southern South Korea, with 269 rooms, floor-to-ceiling windows with ocean views, a VIP dock with direct access to the yacht club, and afternoon tea in collaboration with Van Cleef & Arpels.

"Ah!" Lee Ji-eun exclaimed again, whether because of President Gao or because of Chen Xiao's hand.

I met Xu Jun yesterday. Chen Xiao required that Junxiao Commercial Management have branches in all provinces and municipalities across the country by the end of the year. Currently, more than 70% has been completed, and Junxiao Commercial Management has already entered Wansheng Group's strongest region.

The two commercial management companies are currently locked in a tug-of-war, and Mr. Wang, the general manager of Wansheng Group, is worried about how to win this battle.

Blitzkrieg? Impossible. What could he possibly use to wage a blitzkrieg against Jun Xiaoshang?

He realized that if he thought he could wear down his opponent in a protracted war, he might only be the one to be worn down.

In order to preserve his strength, he is now selling off all non-core businesses that can be sold, shrinking his battle lines, and buying up and holding all of Wansheng Group's best properties. This way, he won't be constantly undermined by Junxiao Commercial Management.

The weekly sales rankings for new energy vehicles are out again.

锐势N7L不出意外，不负众望的周销售500台，而君行汽车周交付4500台。锐势N7L刚好是君行M7的零头。

This gave Junxing Auto fans and KOCs the opportunity to mock the Ruishi N7L; the "fierce tiger" meme has been overused.

Junxing Auto's new car, the Junxing M8, will begin accepting small orders next week. Currently, the market is already buzzing with interest. The official website has started releasing some new car images and showcasing some of its cutting-edge technologies, sparking a lot of online discussion. Recently, many automotive media outlets have been talking about this highly anticipated model for the second half of the year.

When a new car comes out, the fear is that it will generate too much buzz. When the Ruishi N7L was launched, why did so many KOCs from Huadi criticize the Wenjie and Junxing M7? It was because they wanted to ride the wave of traffic. These two best-selling mid-to-large SUVs have always been popular. The Ruishi N7L's actions immediately ignited online discussions.

However, while hype is important, converting it into sales requires product strength. The Ruishi brand has definitely been misled by Huadi's KOCs (Key Opinion Consumers). They can't face the problems with their own product strength, and instead let the KOCs mislead them into believing that poor sales are due to insufficient marketing, attacks from competitors, or consumers' lack of car knowledge. In short, they believe there's nothing wrong with themselves.

They always emphasize that they have the technology, but consumers don't know their products or understand the technology.

But do consumers need to understand technology? Who buys a car for its technology? Consumers want the new and better experience brought about by technological innovation. Technology serves the experience; you can't put some useless technology in a car and expect consumers to pay for it.

These people's thinking has been completely distorted by KOCs (Key Opinion Consumers), they've become obsessed, no wonder they can't sell good cars.

Regarding Junxiao Capital, Xu Wu has given new instructions on investment direction.

Junxiao Capital allocates no less than 100 billion yuan annually to invest in domestic high-tech enterprises, especially startups, starting from the angel round. The initial intention behind this is to ensure that the talents of many young entrepreneurs in China are not buried due to financial constraints.

Currently, many domestic funds are unwilling to invest in startups due to the excessive risks. Junxiao Capital's move is giving some young people with dreams and abilities an opportunity. Chen Xiao wholeheartedly supports this, not seeking profit, but hoping to sow more seeds of Chinese civilization.

After exiting the elevated highway, the traffic light thinned out considerably, but there were also many more traffic lights. Fortunately, with a private jet, there was no need to rush.

On the bridge over the river, He Qing drove her Junxing M7, keeping a safe distance from the Rolls-Royce Phantom in front of her. She thought that, given today's mode of transportation, if it was a journey of several hours, taking a private plane was really not as good as driving.

Suddenly, two beams of light shone from the opposite lane. He Qing frowned slightly, thinking to herself, "This driver is so inconsiderate. Even though it's nighttime, the streetlights on both sides are already quite bright. Is it really necessary to use high beams? Even without streetlights, high beams shouldn't be used when vehicles from both sides are passing each other."

The vehicles were moving slowly, with several cars ahead of the lead car dawdling along for some reason. Meanwhile, the opposite lane was clear, with a large truck roaring and speeding along the road; He Qing suspected it was speeding.

The bright light shone again, and He Qing squinted slightly, instinctively glancing at the truck. That one glance made her scream, "No—!"

The truck suddenly swerved and accelerated. He Qing judged that it was heading straight for the Rolls-Royce Phantom that Chen Xiao was riding in. With such a large force, and considering that this Rolls-Royce Phantom was not a specially modified car, the risk was extremely high.

She saw the Rolls-Royce Phantom's front end swerve to the right. The driver had obviously noticed and was trying to avoid it, but there were cars on the right and the car in front was blocked.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. He Qing had already made up her mind that the Rolls-Royce Phantom couldn't escape this time, which is why she shouted out! (End of Chapter)
