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

The bigwigs who came in this time had different opinions.

Consumers who buy luxury cars don't care about saving money; they care about getting their money's worth.

HUAWEI ADS is clearly superior to the Junxing intelligent solution. Although it is more expensive, the cost can be increased by adding to the car price.

FlashCloud's design is excellent; if not unparalleled, it's certainly among the top three. The hardware upgrades are simply a matter of focusing on reducing supply chain costs. The software utilizes HUAWEI ADS. Only with this kind of product competitiveness can it have a chance to compete with Junxing Motors and, more importantly, with the leading domestic manufacturers.

If things continue like this, they'll only be barely surviving, and sooner or later they'll be crushed by Junxing Motors.

Jin Fu had considered this before, but he was too afraid to try due to a lack of funds. He only had one chance; failure meant certain death. Now that capital had entered the picture, the biggest advantage was the margin for error; if things didn't work out, he could adjust his strategy.

He assumed Chen Xiao knew all this, which was why he was unhappy with him. He completely misjudged him; would Chen Xiao care about that?

Qiu Qiaoqiao hesitated for a moment, then walked over as well. "President Chen, Ziqian—"

"Come on, Qiaoqiao, sit down for a while," Zhang Ziqian said, speaking for Chen Xiao.

Jin Wuxian glanced at Chen Xiao, his heart skipped a beat, "Damn it, this bastard wouldn't—?"
That's ridiculous! Zhao Xiangjun is such a beautiful woman; anyone who has her would give up the whole world. But this guy, having Zhao Xiangjun, actually wants the whole world too! It's utterly absurd!

Jin Wuxian felt he had captured all the beautiful women around him. "Mr. Chen, what can I do for you?"

"Oh, it's nothing, I just wanted to call you. Go play now."

"Go have some fun?" Jin Wuxian glanced at Qiu Qiaoqiao, who had already sat down, and realized that this guy wasn't calling for him at all; he was clearly calling for Qiu Qiaoqiao.

He was seething with resentment, but dared not show it. He stood up to greet Qiu Qiaoqiao, but then heard Chen Xiao scold him, "What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and leave. I can tell you're in a bad mood."

Jin Wuxian turned pale with fright. Last time, when this old man was in a bad mood, Jin Wuya directly turned into Jin Ya, causing Shanyun Auto to lose billions in just over a year.

"Mr. Chen, you're busy, you're busy. I'm going to have some fun. Oh, no, I'm going to work now."

After walking a dozen steps, he wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was doomed; his image was completely ruined in front of Qiu Qiaoqiao.

"Qiaoqiao, are you here to look at the car?"

Jin Wuxian didn't need to turn around to imagine Chen Xiao's "disgusting and nauseating" expression, and "Qiaoqiao," how incredibly affectionate.

"Yeah, I'm thinking of buying a car for commuting soon, so I just took a look at Flash Cloud."

"Which one do you like? I think Flash Cloud is out of the question. After making cars for so many years, it's rare to see one still losing so much money. If you buy their cars, they might go bankrupt one day, and you won't even have anywhere to get your car repaired."

Damn it, Jin Wuxian wanted to turn around and curse, but he didn't dare. He could only quicken his pace, and if he couldn't hear it, he wouldn't be angry.

"Oh—", Qiu Qiaoqiao replied indifferently, which disappointed Chen Xiao, and he even lost interest in recommending Junxing Motors.

At this moment, Xu Gang and Cha Lan rushed over. Qiu Qiaoqiao glanced at them, then stood up: "President Chen, if you have something to attend to, I won't disturb you any longer. Goodbye—"

Chen Xiao regretted calling Xu Gang over; otherwise, she could have chatted with Qiu Qiaoqiao about life. Watching her graceful figure recede into the distance, she turned back and glared at Cha Lan: "You two are so old, why are you running so fast? You old bones could easily fall and hurt yourselves."

Cha Lan didn't know why General Manager Chen was suddenly unhappy, so he could only laugh awkwardly and sit down with Xu Gang, asking Xu Gang to report on some aspects of the Junxing M8.

The Junxing M8 is Junxing Auto's new flagship SUV, a key step in the brand's upward trajectory. With a top-spec price reaching 42 yuan, it represents a highly lucrative segment of the traditional luxury brand market. If this car achieves strong sales, it will demonstrate that Junxing Auto has firmly established its luxury image.

This car still boasts a strong price-performance ratio, packed with all the hardware features. The core selling points are Junxing's intelligent driving and intelligent cockpit. Recently, the topic of Junxing's intelligent R&D center investing 1000 billion yuan annually to develop its own computing chips has garnered over 10 billion views, further expanding the reach of Junxing cars.

However, there is also controversy. Many people believe that this price "crosses the psychological barrier of domestic cars." Some people have been kneeling for too long and have no choice but to accept it. They think that foreign cars are cheap, even if they sell unfinished houses for 40 yuan. No matter how solid the materials or how strong the intelligence of domestic cars are, as long as they hear that a domestic car is made, they will start to criticize it without even trying it out.

Xu Gang explained that 70% of the orders for the Junxing M8 came from existing owners of mid-size SUVs from BBA (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi). The main reasons for this conversion were: the hot sales of the Junxing M7 and word-of-mouth marketing; and the fact that the Junxing's intelligent driving commuting efficiency was better than that of traditional luxury brands in actual tests.

Within 10 days of its launch, the Junxing M8 received 1.5 orders, placing it among the top three in the 40 yuan price range, and not far behind the number one.

The orders were good, and Chen Xiao inquired about the delivery status. Currently, sales of new energy vehicles are booming, but the supply chain is quite tight, especially in battery delivery, which is putting significant pressure on the delivery of pure electric versions.

The extended-range version is doing well. Xu Gang said that the factory has now been asked to work three shifts to ensure delivery and strive to deliver more than 10,000 units in the first month.

With the experience gained from managing the Junxing M7, Chen Xiao found that Xu Gang was now quite adept at launching new cars, and he was very satisfied with the performance of the Junxing M8.

"Next up is the sedan segment, which is even tougher. You need to be fully focused and not let your guard down because of the success of the SUV segment."

Xu Gang quickly expressed his stance, as he dared not be careless. The sedan market was much more difficult than the SUV market, and BBA (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi) had a greater influence among these users.

Hearing that Xiao Yuting had arrived, Chen Xiao got up to go see her. He then took Zhang Ziqian and Xu Gang with him to the exhibition hall.

On the way, I ran into Li Xingxing, who was coming from the Junxing Auto showroom. From a distance, she called out, "Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao—"

Cha Lan looked wary and subtly took a half-step back; her shoulder really couldn't take any more weight. Chen Xiao stopped and looked at Li Xingxing, only to hear him excitedly shout, "I passed the interview! I got the job, and it's the marketing department I wanted to work for!"

"See? It turns out you were all wrong. I was right. My killer move hit their weak spot. I suspect that General Manager Song must have reported it to the boss of Zhifei Aerospace. The boss, hearing how intelligent I was, immediately judged me to be a natural salesperson, so he had General Manager Song make an exception and hire me tomorrow."

"Chen Xiao, do you have anything else to say?"

He shook his head. "It's more than just breaking the rules, it's breaking the very rules. Xingxing, good luck. Well, let me give you a piece of advice: 'No pain, no gain.' A man needs to be tempered and tested a few times to mature."

Li Xingxing was completely baffled. "What does this mean? Why does your blessing sound like a curse to me?"

I looked at him and realized that the kid wasn't stupid; he was quite perceptive.

Chen Xiao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Take care on your journey ahead," before taking Cha Lan and the others to Junxing Auto.

"What the hell do you mean? I'm going to work tomorrow, and you're talking to me like I'm being sent to the execution ground. Is that appropriate?" Li Xingxing muttered to herself as she watched Chen Xiao disappear into the crowd.

Upon arriving at Junxing Auto's showroom, Chen Xiao saw Xiao Yuting talking to several young men and women. Xu Gang quietly introduced them, "Those are Junxing Auto's KOCs. Ms. Xiao is here at the auto show to meet them."

He nodded. "Don't disturb them, I'll go upstairs and wait."

Backstage, several car models preparing for the fashion show saw Chen Xiao and Cha Lan. Qin Ning smiled and said to Xie Xiaoxiao, "Look, your little assistant—"

"What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by my little assistant? He doesn't provide me with any services."

Qin Ning, being a young married woman, spoke somewhat crudely, asking, "If you want him to provide you with services, in what way? The full service?"

Xie Xiaoxiao was so angry that she tried to pinch her, but Qin Ning quickly dodged and used other colleagues as shields. Zhang Ruier's eyes lit up; she hadn't seen Chen Xiao in a long time.

She hadn't seen him since Chen Xiao accidentally wandered into her place and then got Zhang Ziqian to buy her an apartment. But she also blamed herself; she'd been too busy with work lately and hadn't been back to Jindi Xiushan Yin much. Otherwise, if he stayed overnight at Yu Ting's place, she might have been able to get some of his attention.

Hearing Qin Ning joking with Xie Xiaoxiao, he was surprised. He wondered how Xie Xiaoxiao had gotten together with Chen Xiao, and how Chen Xiao had become her assistant. Did she want the full package? Xie Xiaoxiao probably couldn't handle even half of it. She remembered how she had been driven crazy by him back then, but later, Xiao Yuting told her that he had actually toned it down.

Chen Xiao glanced over here unintentionally and nodded.

Xie Xiaoxiao thought he was greeting her, Zhang Ruier also thought he was greeting her, while Qin Ning muttered to herself, "Your assistant is quite handsome. If you don't want him, I'd like to date him myself."

Chen Xiao went upstairs, and Xiao Yuting, who had just finished her work, rushed over to greet him when she saw him.

I sat down on the sofa and looked down at the auto show. It was clearer up there. The only places with the largest number of visitors were HarmonyOS Smart Selection, Dami, Huadi, and Junxing Auto.

"How are the preparations for Junxing Motors' overseas expansion going lately?"

Hassan began planning for Junxing Motors' overseas expansion from the very beginning of "Blue Star Guardian," and now has numerous overseas outlets. Unfortunately, domestic orders for the Junxing M7 are still not being fulfilled, making it impossible to meet overseas demand. However, with the super smart factory nearing completion and production capacity soon to increase, overseas expansion will naturally be put on the agenda.

Xu Gang said that after the first batch of M8 cars are delivered to their owners, he plans to go to the UAE to meet and talk with Hassan.

Chen Xiao thought for a moment, "Let Yu Ting go there. You should stay home and take charge—"

The boss made the arrangements personally, so Xu Gang naturally dared not disobey, much less say that sales were not Xiao Yuting's responsibility. She was the executive director; even if she didn't directly manage this area, she still had authority over it, especially since she was the "Empress." Following Chen Xiao's arrangements, Xu Gang understood that Xiao Yuting was very likely to take charge of the automotive sector in the future.

Chen Xiao looked at Xiao Yuting, who had a surprised expression, and said, "It's okay, I'll go with you. We can travel around the city."

Xiao Yuting nodded gently. With him by her side, it was indeed a wonderful journey.

His main purpose for this trip was to check on the development of "Blue Star Guardian". Hassan's monthly procurement volume is still soaring, and Chen Xiao is curious about where his limits are.

Upstairs, after having some tea, Zhang Ziqian received a phone call and then reported that Mr. Wang from Wansheng Group had already left.

"Let him go then. I didn't come out to avoid him."

When Mr. Wang came over, he proactively mentioned that he would soon be scaling back his operations and would no longer be a major competitor of Junxiao Group. He even asked if they would consider acquiring some of his remote and difficult-to-manage projects. Chen Xiao was no longer interested. Now that Junxiao Commercial Management had reached its current scale, its next focus was on creating its own unique shopping centers. The previous acquisitions were for rapid expansion; now that they had scaled up, the focus was on improving quality.

In the future, Junxiao Commercial Management Committee will build super urban complexes, all exceeding 20 square meters. He doesn't even consider the Wansheng Plaza project.

Regarding Mr. Wang's decision to scale back operations, Chen Xiao could only say that this move was wise. Otherwise, engaging in a war of attrition with a well-funded operating company like Junxiao Commercial Management across the country would be a waste of money, no matter how much was poured in.

After Xiao Yuting finished her work, Chen Xiao took her downstairs. On the way, Cha Lan couldn't help but ask, "President Chen, what should I do about Li Xingxing?"

Chen Xiao glanced at him and smiled, "Do whatever you want with it."

Knowing that Cha Lan would definitely teach him a lesson, Chen Xiao wouldn't be overly protective. Even if he were, it would be because he was closer to Cha Lan. Besides, he also felt that Li Xingxing's personality needed to be tempered, otherwise he would definitely suffer a great loss in the future.

Space Plus Bar
Chen Xiao had been here once before, when Wei Ming got his head smashed open by Luffy. He also met Meng Ziyi, who wasn't his woman at the time. I remember there was also a number 88 named Xin Xin, who left a deep impression on me as well.

He came again tonight; Li Xingxing invited him. This guy is starting work at Zhifei Aerospace tomorrow, and he's so excited he couldn't contain himself and wanted to celebrate. He just returned to China and doesn't have many friends, so he invited Chen Xiao over for drinks.

Chen Xiaozhen didn't know whether she should remind him or not—it was too early to celebrate now, and he probably didn't know what kind of inhuman torture awaited him once he entered the company.

Li Xingxing comes from a well-off family; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to go abroad at her own expense and develop a habit of going to bars overseas.

Once inside the bar, the bodyguards, dressed in plainclothes, dispersed. Chen Xiao found Li Xingxing by following the location he had been given. At that moment, a pretty beer girl was flirting with him.

As I got closer, I could still hear the beer girl asking, "Boss, what do you do for a living?"

Li Xingxing proudly declared, "Robots, drones—"

The beer girl exclaimed dramatically, "Wow! Amazing! High-tech talent! Boss, you're not only rich, but also incredibly talented!!"

Li Xingxing smiled smugly; anyone who didn't know better would think he was the boss of Zhifei Aerospace. Seeing Chen Xiao approaching, he quickly waved, signaling him to come over.

After Chen Xiao sat down, the host asked, "Chen Xiao, beer or spirits?"

The beer girl also turned her gaze to this refined and handsome man, and offered, "Boss, how about some imported liquor? Beer makes you feel bloated."

Li Xingxing glared at him, "What's wrong with a bloated stomach?"

The beer girl explained softly, "Even if you're not afraid, you should still be careful since he doesn't have a belly—"

"Damn, you're exposing my weakness," Li Xingxing said, looking at her belly, which looked like she was seven months pregnant.

Chen Xiao sat down and said softly, "A glass of Romanée-Conti, please."

The beer girl was startled and looked at Chen Xiao, wondering if he was joking. Li Xingxing also gaped, "Dude, are you kidding me?"
"What? You don't have any? I remember you have some from 90, so give me that one."

Seeing that the beer girl didn't move, Chen Xiao urged her.

Ah—! The beer girl screamed in surprise, but luckily she covered her mouth in time so as not to disturb others.

A regular glass of Romanée-Conti costs 5 yuan here. That already seemed outrageous to her, but now Chen Xiao specifically requested the 90 vintage, which is incredibly expensive, costing 12 yuan a glass. This young man wants to drink that? Is he sure?

He frowned. "What? That's all?"

"Oh no, yes, yes, yes."

Li Xingxing nudged his arm and leaned closer to whisper, "Are you serious?"

Chen Xiao said irritably, "Am I here to perform a skit? To make you laugh?"

He scratched the back of his head and said to the beer girl, "Bring him some—", and the beer girl happily ran over to order the beer.

"Damn, Chen Xiao, you're ruthless. You see I found a good job, and you come here to rip me off, huh? This one drink of yours is going to cost me half a year's salary."

"It's not that bad," Chen Xiao smiled casually, he didn't intend to let Li Xingxing pay the bill.

He glanced around casually, then his eyes suddenly sharpened. She was here too? He frowned and said to Li Xingxing, "I'll go check over there."

Li Xingxing followed his gaze and saw a stunningly beautiful woman sitting alone. At that moment, a burly man with a thick gold chain around his neck and a scar on his face was smiling and talking to her.

It was easy to tell from the woman's impatient expression that she had been harassed. Li Xingxing said urgently to Chen Xiao, "Brother, don't cause trouble here. That guy is obviously not simple. Even if you and I were together, we wouldn't be enough to beat him up. Besides, the owner of this bar has a lot of connections. Let's not cause trouble."

Chen Xiao ignored him because the bald man actually tried to sit down next to her. He got up and walked over, and Li Xingxing yelled "Damn!" from behind, then stood up, thought for a moment, and casually picked up the wine bottle as well.

She glanced back at him, surprised that he was quite loyal. She smiled slightly and walked towards Qiu Qiaoqiao.

"Hey beautiful, where are you from? Let me buy you a whiskey."

"No, I want to be alone—"

"Oh, what a coincidence! My name is 'Jingjing'."

A fierce glint flashed in Qiu Qiaoqiao's eyes as she saw Chen Xiao standing beside her.

"Your name is Jingjing, right?"

Chen Xiao sneered, looking at the bald man with the gold chain, "You can leave now."

The bald man glanced sideways at Chen Xiao, then looked contemptuously at Li Xingxing behind him, who was carrying a bottle of liquor but trembling.

"Young man, have you thought about what price you'll pay before you step forward?"

Chen Xiao ignored him and said to Qiu Qiaoqiao, "Come on, come with me."

Qiu Qiaoqiao hesitated for a moment, then stood up. The bald man immediately blocked her path. "What, you little punk, you dare steal my girl?"

Chen Xiao's eyes turned cold as she turned to look at him, as if he was about to bully someone again today.

"Hey, you've got a murderous look in your eyes," the bald man said, then burst into laughter.

Then, pointing to his own head, he said, "Didn't you come carrying bottles? Come on, smash them here, smash them hard!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud bang was heard, the bald man's eyes rolled back, and he collapsed, the bottle shattering into several pieces.

Li Xingxing stared blankly at the wine bottle that had been snatched from her hand at some point and was now broken into several pieces. She looked at the burly man who had suddenly appeared in front of her, wondering why he had taken the bottle from her and then knocked the bald man down.

Chen Xiao reached out and pulled Qiu Qiaoqiao, "Let's go somewhere else—"

Li Xingxing stared blankly as Chen Xiao took away this stunningly beautiful woman. He stared blankly at the bald man lying on the ground and asked the assailant in a trembling voice, "Why...why did you hit him?"

The burly man grinned. "He asked someone to smash him up. I'm always happy to help others, so I granted his request."

Li Xingxing shuddered, sensing the man was dangerous. He decided to run further away, especially since Chen Xiao had already left. He quickly chased after him, even considering advising Chen Xiao to retreat first.

Someone was beaten inside, and the bar staff immediately came over to handle it. Li Xingxing saw the big man say something, and then he grabbed the bald man and went upstairs with the bar staff.

As soon as Chen Xiao and Qiu Qiaoqiao sat down, the beer girl came over with a waiter and a POS machine. Ordering such expensive drinks required payment in advance to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by skipping out on the bill.

Just as Li Xingxing arrived and was about to pay, Chen Xiao said, "Order them each another drink—"

"Ah, I don't want to! I like beer!" Li Xingxing was almost in tears. Chen Xiao was already spending money on beer alone, and now that he'd brought a girl back, the pain was doubled. If she got another drink, she'd have to sell her house when she got back.

Wasting hundreds of thousands of dollars on a few drinks? Is that something a human being could do?

The beer girl's heart raced. If she really followed this guy's suggestion and ordered three times the amount of 90 Romanée-Conti, her own commission—just thinking about it was a wonderful thing.

Unfortunately, the person who was supposed to pay refused, but thankfully, he was still willing to buy two drinks.

Chen Xiao waved his hand, took a card out of his bag and handed it to the beer girl, "Swipe the card—"

Li Xingxing was stunned and shouted, "Chen Xiao, what do you mean? Are you looking down on me? A few drinks, and I can't afford to treat you? Damn it, take your card back."

Qiu Qiaoqiao glanced at him but didn't say anything. These days, there aren't many people who dare to call themselves "I" in front of Chen Xiao without getting beaten to death. But Chen Xiao wasn't angry at all, and chuckled, "Alright, here's your chance." (End of Chapter)
