My Daily Basic Stipend Is 10 Million

Chapter 231: Chapter 179: Commercial Layout

A single sentence sealed Fang Qiang’s fate.

Liu Haoran, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Xiao hadn’t taken his anger out on him.

Xu Jia thought, ’Fang Qiang used to bully Brother Hui. It looks like he’s finally getting what he deserves.’

Fang Qiang was certainly unlucky. If he hadn’t left early this morning, he would have been in the office and known how important President Liu considered today’s visitor. Then, he wouldn’t have mistaken Chen Xiao for a client’s representative, and he wouldn’t have been so disrespectful.

If he had come back later, he would have missed Chen Xiao and avoided this disaster.

Although Zhao Hui had spoken ill of him before, given Chen Xiao’s status, he naturally wouldn’t have gone out of his way to cause trouble for Fang Qiang over it.

But as luck would have it, perhaps it was all fated.

Chen Xiao then "inquired" about Xu Jia’s work situation.

Xu Jia was very tactful. She repeatedly emphasized how President Liu had been taking care of her and that he personally mentored her on many things she didn’t understand.

Liu Haoran chimed in, stating, "Xu Jia is outstanding. Thank you, President Chen, for recommending such a talented person to me. She has greatly reduced my workload!"

He also added, "Xu Jia is about to take sole responsibility for our high-end brand line, which is a much more important role. I’ve already submitted an application to the group to give her a major salary adjustment!"

Chen Xiao nodded. That was only appropriate. However, he couldn’t possibly go to Zhang Shijie over a single retail manager—that would be a gross disrespect to the CEO.

It was most appropriate for Liu Haoran to handle it. Of course, Chen Xiao believed that as long as Liu Haoran subtly mentioned Xu Jia’s connection to Zhao Xiangjun, he wouldn’t face any resistance from the group.

Both Liu Haoran and Xu Jia had a good understanding of Chen Xiao’s power, so he could speak freely with them about many things.

This was one of the reasons Chen Xiao had come to the Yino Jiangzhou Branch today.

Currently, the four major sectors—Yino Group, Junxiao Business Management Company, Junxing Auto, and the Junxing Intelligent Research and Development Center—all needed to make strategic arrangements centered on Junxiao Investment Group’s future plans.

Among these, Junxiao Business Management, Junxing Auto, and the Junxing Intelligent Research and Development Center were primarily managed by Xu Wu. They were also enterprises in which Junxiao Group held a controlling stake, making them the sectors with the largest investment ratios.

For the Junxing Intelligent Research and Development Center, Xu Wu only managed the overall direction; the specifics were handled by Feng Feifei, who also served as CEO.

As for the Yino Group sector, since Zhao Xiangjun held the shares privately, it was inconvenient for Xu Wu to manage it. Thus, Chen Xiao actually invested a bit more of his own energy into this area.

He was here today to brief them on Junxiao Investment Group’s retail-related development plans for the coming year. This would let Liu Haoran and Xu Jia know how to coordinate with his pace of development while also enjoying the dividends brought by Junxiao Investment Group.

First, on the product side, Chen Xiao would use his influence at Chanel to help Yino Group further enhance its competitiveness in product design, R&D, and production.

He would leverage Chanel’s brand value to build publicity for Yino Group’s various brands, increasing their added value.

Second, on the retail end, Junxiao Investment Group would continue to make heavy asset investments, acquiring mature, high-quality commercial plazas. The goal for the first year was to invest 20 to 30 billion to acquire no fewer than 20 properties, with the Hanjiang Province Capital as the primary beachhead for a concentrated breakthrough.

According to this plan, Hanjiang Province could have 10 to 15 Junxiao Squares by next year, all of which would be the highest-quality projects in their respective areas.

From this perspective, the Yino Jiangzhou Branch, which currently managed four brands, could easily add another 40 to 50 stores.

This was because some plazas already had the "Yi Rui" brand, while others were located in smaller counties, with positioning that might not be a good match for high-end brands.

And these 40 to 50 stores had the potential to increase the Yino Jiangzhou Branch’s revenue by 200 to 300 million next year!

With every acquisition target Chen Xiao mentioned, Liu Haoran’s expression grew more and more solemn.

On one hand, he was stunned by President Chen’s financial power—an investment of nearly 30 billion a year, and this was just one of his sectors!

On the other hand, he knew this was going to make him famous within the group. Not only had he made a leap in his position and rank, but his work performance in the coming year was sure to become the stuff of legend.

At the same time, he secretly wondered, ’If I can keep up with President Chen’s pace next year, will I have the honor of continuing to be one of his vanguards in his nationwide expansion?’

He was very ambitious. His greatest life goal at that moment was to become one of President Chen’s "Crossing Pawns." He had just turned 40 and was in the prime of his life. Having encountered titans like President Chen and President Zhao at this stage, how could he not want to go all out and achieve something great?

Xu Jia was also deeply shaken. She knew Chen Xiao was rich, but she had no idea he was *this* rich!

Just listen to that—for just one sector, and not even his most important one, he was going to invest 30 billion!

She knew that among his major sectors, Junxing Auto, which dealt with new energy vehicles, and the Junxing Intelligent Research and Development Center must be the biggest money pits. He might even be planning to develop his own chips later on—there were plenty of ways to burn through cash!

To be able to make such heavy, sustained investments in commercial real estate... she doubted there was a single individual in all of Huaxia with this much power and audacity.

What they didn’t know was that Chen Xiao didn’t actually have that much cash on hand right now. But given his current Diligence Points, he certainly wouldn’t be short on money.

Junxiao Group’s investment in the Junxing Intelligent Research and Development Center was continuous, at no less than one billion a month. To compensate him for not taking any equity, Feng Feifei had insisted on giving him 5% of this business segment as a reward, and it was paid out from the Doctor Feng Robot Technology Group.

This was definitely an exploit of the system. Such a huge bug resulted in a massive influx of funds into his account every month—a renewable and completely controllable source of income.
