Chapter 188: Chapter 164: Mega Project (3)
Cha Lan had it all figured out. As long as Chen Xiao was at Dr. Feng’s Robot, all he had to do was latch onto this big shot!
The sales department was probably the most panicked. If this kept up, what was the point of having a sales department at all?
The main thing was, the way Dr. Feng’s Robot and Zhi Fei Aerospace were collaborating was just too absurd!
They had never seen an order with such a fast contract signing and such a quick payment!
Cha Lan was now completely uninterested in the other deals the sales department was negotiating. A two-million-yuan deal, and they wanted to pay in installments!
’They’re dragging their feet on the contract, demanding changes here and there. To hell with them! I’m not doing their business!’
’The whole reason I’m sucking up to Chen Xiao is so I can be the boss in front of you lot, isn’t it?’
The sales department was in tears. It was already hard enough to land orders, and now the boss’s demands were getting stricter and stricter!
On one hand, they couldn’t land a single order; on the other, orders worth hundreds of millions were rolling in. It was enough to make them want to just die!
The situation at Dr. Feng’s Robot was just as crazy. This Chen Xiao was simply too monstrous!
Before, collecting payments in the hundreds of millions was already impressive. Now, they were paying out bonuses in the hundreds of millions!
Have you ever seen a salesperson become a hundred-millionaire after just one month of work? Well, Dr. Feng’s Robot had one!
The company now had tons of group chats, all full of young women, and in every single one, the topic of discussion had shifted from celebrity gossip to Chen Xiao!
Chen Xiao had become the most talked-about person in all the major group chats. Someone was even peddling guides on how to win a man’s heart!
Some were even secretly plotting to get rid of that roadblock, Ma Jing, as soon as possible!
That hundred-million-plus bonus was just too alluring. Everyone in the company, from the 50-year-old cleaning lady down to the 18-year-old recent graduates, got a greedy glint in their eyes whenever they saw Chen Xiao.
But don’t get the wrong idea—the cleaning lady was thinking of her daughter. She wasn’t so shameless as to think of offering herself to him.
The only one who felt left out was probably Yuan Kai. He hadn’t gotten his 0.5% cut of this bonus. Otherwise, that would have been 20 million!
But he also knew that was just wishful thinking. He hadn’t contributed anything, so there was no way the company would pay him such a massive bonus.
The company was already being generous by giving him his usual deals.
When Zhao Rui and Ji Kang saw the bonus application form Ma Jing was filling out for Chen Xiao, they nearly pissed themselves.
’Is this a fucking salesperson? No wonder Chen Xiao comes in late and leaves early every day, Manager Yuan doesn’t dare to do anything about it, and HR never sends out any warnings.’
Any company would treat a guy like that like a king.
"Man, I’d be happy with just one percent of what Chen Xiao’s got!"
"One percent? In your dreams! That’s still several million!"
"Sigh... you think Chen Xiao ever worries about not being able to spend all his money?"
"Even if he did, he wouldn’t ask you for help. Haven’t you seen all those young women at the company? Every last one of them is dying to help him spend some of it!"
"I hate that I wasn’t born a woman!"
"What damn good would it do if you were a woman? You think he’d be into you? He could spend 200 yuan and find someone way better!"
"Damn it, Ji Kang! So much for our friendship, huh?"
Chen Xiao used the system to directly inject 14 billion into Junxiao Investment Group’s account. After this capital injection, Junxiao Investment’s total assets exceeded 29 billion. After deducting the acquisition cost of Tianqi Auto and paying for the registration capital and R&D expenses of the Junxing Intelligent Research and Development Joint Laboratory, the remaining balance was still 16 billion!
And even after all that, Chen Xiao’s personal account balance still had 836 million!
’After getting used to earning over ten billion in a single day, looking at a balance of a mere 800 million... sigh. I’m poor now!’
When Xu Wu heard the report from the finance department, she rubbed her eyes and looked at the account balance again. She finally understood the source of Chen Xiao’s confidence!
It also put her mind at ease. No wonder Chen Xiao had told her to go all out.
As long as it was an investment in smart technology, he had told her to go all in!
’Now, with the funds in Junxing Auto’s account, I need to hurry up and establish our sales channels!’
Right now, Junxing Auto had to be practically rebuilt from scratch. But cars weren’t like clothing; creating the tooling wasn’t that simple.
A car’s development cycle takes at least two years. This meant that if Junxing Auto wanted to enter the market quickly, it would have to continue using the previous Tianqi Auto platform for now.
They could only make minor changes to the exterior; the underlying architecture couldn’t be altered.
From this perspective, the company would only be burning through cash in the short term, with no revenue coming in.
This was why most people in the industry thought Junxiao Investment had more money than sense.
When other companies acquired a brand, they could use the existing production lines to manufacture their own models.
But after Junxiao Investment Group acquired Tianqi Auto, they had to start everything from scratch!
How much money would be thrown down the drain during that long wait?
It was no wonder that various automotive influencers and some car brand Key Opinion Consumers (KOCs) were openly calling Junxiao Investment a bunch of idiots.
The Sect Leader must have gotten their head caught in a door to do something like this!
Some even said Junxiao Investment had just spent several billion on an advertisement for itself. Now the whole country knew about Junxiao Investment, the firm that was rich and dumb as a post!
Others said it was indeed an ad—and a very comical one at that!
Xu Wu scrolled through the comments from these content creators, knowing she was taking the heat for Chen Xiao.
Her eyes were both enchanting and sharp. ’How can a flock of sparrows understand the ambitions of a swan?’
’Just wait and see who will rule the auto industry of the future.’
’Go on, keep criticizing. Keep it up for half a year, and you’ll find out what it feels like to eat your own words!’
What she needed to do now was tune out all the external negativity and focus on finding a leader for Junxing Auto. She was headhunting.
She had originally planned to ask for Chen Xiao’s opinion, but that boss of hers was used to being completely hands-off. He had simply replied, "You choose. I trust you!"
How could she have known that Chen Xiao had already used his Wisdom Eye to check the project’s ROI? The first year’s return was going to be abysmal.
But that didn’t matter. The company might not make money, but Chen Xiao would!
