Chapter 848: Chapter 848 Redefining Shared Blessings
In the room, several pairs of eyes turned towards Zhou Mengmeng, curious to see what she was about to say.
Zhou Mengmeng smoothed a few strands of hair in front of her forehead and looked at An Nuonuo.
Her cheeks were slightly reddened, “It’s just… I hit it off with Nuonuo right away, I really really like her.”
“I’ve thought about it a lot, and I’d like to ask if I could become sworn sisters with Nuonuo—become sisters of a different mother.”
Zhou Qingyue seemed to have something to say but eventually remained silent.
An Nuonuo’s eyes sparkled brightly, “Of course, I have no problem with that.”
She already really liked Zhou Mengmeng, a girl who was well-behaved, sensible, and cute.
Plus, she had once again risked her life to save Jiang Xu, making her affection for Zhou Mengmeng soar even higher.
As for becoming sworn sisters, An Nuonuo didn’t see it as an issue; on the contrary, she was quite happy about it.
In this way, she had Chu Youwei as an older sister and Zhou Mengmeng as a younger sister, which made her life feel even more complete.
Jiang Xu naturally had no objections either.
He had initially thought Zhou Mengmeng was not satisfied with acquiring just one company and wanted even more.
So, in that hospital room, An Nuonuo and Zhou Mengmeng took an oath under the heavens and officially became sworn sisters.
From then on, they would help each other, share blessings, and face difficulties together.
Zhou Mengmeng thought to herself, “Sharing blessings” should include your husband, right, Nuonuo?
The room filled with even more sounds of joy and laughter.
Jiang Xu returned to the company.
With the end of the year approaching, there was a sudden surge in matters that needed handling.
At three o’clock in the afternoon, an official announcement was released.
The country intended to fully develop new energy vehicles and the relevant industrial chain.
The government would provide subsidies.
This was an immensely vast market.
And Jiang Xu had already laid out plans in advance.
Last year, he acquired a battery manufacturing company.
He invested a substantial amount of money in research and development.
Over the past year or so, the company had been doing quite well.
Mainly because Jiang Xu had given all the battery orders for the Mei Zhu mobile phones to them.
This also counted as a technological accumulation.
When the official announcement was made, Jiang Xu had already advanced several steps ahead.
The most core components of new energy are batteries, automotive-grade chips, and motors.
He could produce batteries on his own.
He also had the capability to produce automotive-grade chips.
And when it comes to the later stage, it would all be about intelligent driving.
But that wasn’t something to worry about for now.
In terms of intelligent driving, which is a battle of computing power, his layout in artificial intelligence was even more far-reaching. He may not lead the world now, but he could certainly rank in the top three.
The only shortcoming was the tri-electric system.
But that could also be solved by throwing money at it.
Immediately, Jiang Xu dispatched a professional team to discuss the acquisition of automobile enterprises.
Manufacturing cars required qualifications.
Applying for it was time-consuming and laborious.
It was better to directly acquire an almost bankrupt car factory and then upgrade it.
After giving his instructions, Jiang Xu began analyzing the entry into the electric car market.
Combining some things he saw in his previous life, Jiang Xu set the future corporate strategy.
He would take the mid-to-high-end route.
Only sell cars that were over 300,000 yuan.
The low-end was time-consuming, laborious, and low-profit—it could be left to Di Zi to handle.
He would just focus on the mid-to-high-end segment.
And for the first electric car model, it had to be an extended-range one.
Long battery life, low fuel consumption, and then throw in fridges, color TVs, and big sofas.
With the backing of Nuomi Group, as long as there is a guarantee of quality, it would definitely become a bestseller.
Some of the core components we have in-house, so we can also have good cost control.
It took over two hours to work out the entire future development plan for electric cars.
To Jiang Xu, electric cars are an extension of the home.
Install a big screen and a color TV in the electric car, and you’ll want to watch TV and listen to music, right?
At that time, our various apps could also be built in.
You could even introduce a virtual character.
For example, a Hatsune Miku type could be integrated into the electric cars.
How much it would cost to purchase one, and then you could also buy skins, change voices, and the like.
After all, the money of otakus is so easy to earn.
In short, there are many opportunities to make money.
When it was almost time to finish work for the day, the head of the Planning Department walked into Jiang Xu’s office.
“Mr. Jiang, here is the plan for this year’s annual meeting and the prizes and such; please take a look,” he said.
Jiang Xu picked up the plan and looked it over.
Although the net profit for the group this year had not yet been calculated, it was definitely more than last year’s.
Therefore, this year’s annual meeting, prizes, and year-end bonuses would all definitely be more than last year’s.
The suggestion in the plan was to go to Spirit Turtle Island.
The place has now been completely developed and has become a vacation paradise.
The popularity has even surpassed that of Second Asia, which once topped the tourism hotlist for many years.
After all, a bunch of tycoons have bought houses there, and Jiang Xu even moved a company division over there.
The permanent population there is now over 100,000.
And they receive over a million visitors every day.
The prizes and year-end rewards are proposed by the various departments, which Jiang Xu signs off on once he checks that there are no issues.
This year’s top performer for the annual bonus was Chu Youwei.
Undisputedly so.
She had scarcely any time off throughout the whole year.
Every day she was either live streaming to sell products or shooting advertisements.
Just her alone brought in a business turnover of ten billion for the company this year.
The net profit reached over three billion.
The investment made in Chu Youwei had already brought Jiang Xu a return ten to several dozen times over.
The second and third places went to the sisters Ally and Avi.
Bai Xiaoya was not included; since she is the second-largest shareholder of ‘Blueprint’, she receives dividends, so she is not counted.
After reading carefully, Jiang Xu signed his approval.
This year’s annual meeting was going to be lively; he would take An Nuonuo with him to attend.
Before they knew it, the last day of December arrived.
Zhou Mengmeng was discharged from the hospital today.
Originally, she could have been discharged a week earlier.
But Zhou Qingyue did not agree. She insisted that Zhou Mengmeng stay another week to completely clear the scars on her back before allowing her discharge.
Out of respect for her cousin’s rare strictness, Zhou Mengmeng had no choice but to comply.
“Ah, finally breathing fresh air,” Zhou Mengmeng said as she stood at the hospital entrance with her arms wide open, her face expressing pure bliss.
Having stayed in the hospital for so long, she felt as if she was rusting away.
Jiang Xu, Zhou Qingyue, An Nuonuo, and Chu Youwei were all there to pick her up from the hospital.
These people now had the power and status.
Coming together to pick up Zhou Mengmeng was a show of great respect and style.
An Nuonuo, holding Zhou Mengmeng’s hand, said, “We’ve prepared a feast for you, and after eating, would you like to join us on a trip to Spirit Turtle Island?”
An airport has now been built on Spirit Turtle Island, making it possible to fly there.
It’s very convenient: just a two-hour flight.
“Yes, yes!” Zhou Mengmeng exclaimed excitedly. “I’ve heard it’s a lot of fun there. I’ve never been.”
Watching Zhou Mengmeng’s demeanor, An Nuonuo seemed to see a reflection of herself back in high school…
