My Daily Basic Stipend Is 10 Million

Chapter 151: Chapter 151: Demon Feng Takes a Stray Bullet

You work with the money you have!

Xu Wu was an extremely career-driven woman. When she only had 800 million, she was focused on maximizing profits and a quick cash-out.

But with 5 billion, she was already contemplating whether to make significant, long-term, and deeply involved investments in specific niche sectors, rather than just acting as a financial investor.

Now that the capital had reached 15 billion, her thinking became even clearer. ’Could this be the time to make a big bet on the new energy vehicle industry?’ she wondered.

But the competition in that field was ferocious. Over 10 billion seemed like a lot, but it was hardly enough to make a splash in that industry. There were too many sharks in those waters.

However, if they didn’t enter the market now, there would be no opportunity left once the winners in the new energy vehicle race were decided.

It was just like the traditional combustion engine vehicle market. For the past century, the same few companies had maintained absolute dominance. Any latecomers, no matter how hard they tried, could only eat their dust.

Of course, she still needed to discuss these ideas further with Chen Xiao before she could begin to implement them.

Meanwhile, Chen Xiao smugly pulled up his system panel. A closer look finally revealed what Zhao Xiangjun had bought him. In the "Vehicles" section of the system panel, a Brabus G900 had conspicuously appeared.

He remembered her asking him a few days ago if he liked the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen. ’So she was planning to buy me a car.’ He had no idea what gave her the idea, but it had accidentally hit the jackpot, earning him 9.3 billion!

As he was staring at his system panel, another message suddenly arrived!

"DING! Detected that the Host has received a business commission of 2.4 million yuan from Zhi Fei Aerospace. Awarding a Diligence Reward bonus of 100.8 million yuan. Account balance after reward: 600 million yuan!"

At the same time, he received a message from Cha Lan on his phone: "President Chen, the 2.4 million commission has been paid. Please check your account!"

’He sure is fast.’ If Chen Xiao remembered correctly, the company had only transferred the payment to Zhi Fei Aerospace half an hour ago. It hadn’t even been thirty minutes, and his commission was already in his hands!

He glanced at his panel:

[Host: Chen Xiao (Diligence Points: 42)]

[Profession: Dr. Feng’s Robot - Business Specialist]

[Height: 178CM, Weight: 75KG]

[Constitution: 100, Endurance: 100, Health: 95, Charm: 96]

Daily Basic Stipend Level 5: 60,000 yuan/day

Diligence Reward: Bonus x Diligence Points

Skills: Wisdom Eye (Allows user to see a project’s investment return rate)

[Asset Status:

Balance: 600 million

Real Estate: Hai Run Mansion (50m² apartment), Yunfeng Building (Floors 22 & 28), one Bihu Shuangxi Villa

Enterprises: Ganglong International (5% equity), Junxiao Capital (1%), Chanel (0.5%)

Vehicles: Mercedes-Benz CLS 300, Wisdom Realm R7, Brabus G900]

’My personal assets have reached 600 million. I guess I really can afford a Brabus G900 now,’ Chen Xiao thought to himself.

He hadn’t thought about changing cars before. It wasn’t because he was particularly fond of his Mercedes-Benz CLS; it was mainly because he was lazy.

He was the classic type of person who would never sit if he could lie down, and never stand if he could sit.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have reached the point where he even had Zhao Xiangjun clip his fingernails for him.

He then pulled up the Diligence Fund panel for Zhao Xiangjun:

[Diligence Fund Partner: Zhao Xiangjun (Diligence Points: 98)]

[Profession: Yirui Business Men’s Clothing - Gold Medal Salesperson]

[Diligence Fund: 500 million]

[Asset Status:

Real Estate: one Bihu Shuangxi Villa

Enterprises: Yino Group (32.5% equity), Junxiao Capital (99%)

Junxiao Capital: 15 billion]

Junxiao Capital already had a fund size of 15 billion, though this figure included amounts that were already invested. The Diligence Fund had a remaining balance of 500 million yuan.

’She makes money way too fast.’ Chen Xiao figured his own Diligence Points would need to increase significantly before he had any chance of keeping up with her.

He felt like the system was trying to teach him a lesson through Zhao Xiangjun: You have to know how to spend money to make money!

At this thought, he suddenly remembered something. He found a quiet place and gave Xu Wu a call.

After the acquisition of Jiangzhou Wansheng Square, Xu Jun was required to report the next year’s business plan to the group. This included not only performance and profit targets but also the expense budget, which covered engineering, public relations, labor costs, and marketing expenses.

The marketing budget was mainly used for two things. One part was for driving traffic by creating attractive displays or hosting large-scale events.

The other part was for cash subsidy vouchers, typically discounted as "spend 900 to get 1,000," with the 100-yuan difference being covered jointly by the mall and the merchants.

Previously, since Jiangzhou Wansheng Square was already a very mature business, its management believed they didn’t need to do many traffic-driving or subsidy activities. They were already doing quite well!

Chen Xiao felt this was a passive approach. ’It could be so much better!’

"President Xu, the marketing budget for Junxiao Square can be increased. I think we can use some artificial intelligence equipment to create photo-op spots, which would help drive some traffic."

Xu Wu was so exasperated she had to laugh. She said, "What kind of spell has Feng Feifei cast on you? You’re using your own money to send business her way every day. Wouldn’t it be better to just give her the cash directly?"

"Every cent of this plaza’s marketing budget is carefully calculated. The total annual budget is only 6 million, which isn’t even a drop in the bucket for Dr. Feng’s Robot!"

Chen Xiao knew his behavior was strange, but he couldn’t explain it. He could hardly say that he was getting more money back than she was sending to Dr. Feng’s company, could he?

"President Xu, your perspective is a bit narrow. You’re managing tens of billions in assets now. Are you really still concerned about a small sum of a few million?"

"Boss, I’m just an employee. You’re the one in charge. If you think a few million is worth paying attention to, why shouldn’t I?"

Xu Wu was just unhappy. ’On what grounds? Feng Feifei gets to make money without lifting a finger!’

"How about this," Chen Xiao said. "The marketing budget needs a boost. I think 15 million a year should be the minimum. Since we just took over, we have to generate some buzz for the place!"

"Also, I won’t let the company take a loss. Whatever amount Junxiao Square spends with Dr. Feng’s Robot, I’ll personally reimburse the plaza for the same amount to be used for mall subsidy vouchers."

"The mall can then use those vouchers to create another round of hype, significantly boosting the performance of the existing brands. Of course, we’ll mainly subsidize the brands whose rent is calculated as a percentage of sales. That way, the mall can recoup a portion of the cost!"

"It’s a virtuous cycle! We kill several birds with one stone!"

"Yes, kill several birds with one stone, and you’re the only one who doesn’t benefit! Since this is basically your own money you’re spending, I have no objections. I don’t care how much you want to spend on that Demon Feng!"

Chen Xiao glumly rubbed his nose. ’You say you have no objections, but you’re still holding this much of a grudge? You even called her Demon Feng.’

The key thing was, Feng Feifei hadn’t even done anything. She was just an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire!

He didn’t stop to think that he had made Xu Wu mobilize almost the entire power of Junxiao Capital to funnel orders to Dr. Feng. It would be strange if she *didn’t* misunderstand!

Besides, for a man with tens of billions in assets to be working here as a simple salesperson—anyone would read too much into it.

He returned to his workstation. Just as he sat down, he saw Ma Jing leading a shy-looking young woman in her early twenties toward him.
