He stuffed his phone back into his trouser pocket and walked back to the living room.
"Whose phone number is this?"
"Uh, it's from a friend." Jiang Chen replied casually and sat back down next to her.
Seeing that Jiang Chen was not going to explain more, Xia Shiyu just looked at him suspiciously, then stopped worrying about this issue and picked up some materials on the table again.
After clearing her throat, Xia Shiyu put on a serious expression and began to introduce the bidding documents to Jiang Chen.
"The paper documents I have are mainly materials from the bidders, mainly project details and related quotations. The design plans and concept drawings are all in my computer, and I will look at them later. But when I look at this thing, Before that, can I ask a question?"
"Of course." Jiang Chen smiled.
If it's a question that can be answered, he will answer it. If it is temporarily inconvenient for her to know, he will remain silent.
"Futuren Technology's profitability is good. We have just established a foothold in the Internet field. Why do we suddenly get involved in tourism real estate development projects?" Xia Shiyu pushed up the glasses on the bridge of her nose and asked in a deep voice.
From an investor's perspective, the future of science and technology is bright, and the return on investment is definitely much higher than going to a small Pacific country to build infrastructure and revitalize the local tourism industry.
"Because I am optimistic about the tourism resources of the Pannu Islands and the development prospects of New Zealand. And regarding the project funds for the construction of some public facilities, I am also very satisfied with the plan proposed by the New Zealand government to use land and sea area development rights to pay for it."
For example, expand airports, expand roads, add schools, hospitals and other welfare facilities. These projects are all non-profit in nature, and the new government certainly cannot let Jiang Chen work in vain. However, for a while, the new government could not come up with the money, and it was difficult for the new regime to obtain loans from foreign banks, so it could only use land and ocean development rights as compensation. Considering that after the completion of these facilities, the land price will definitely increase exponentially. From a businessman's point of view, this business is still very promising, but...
"But it is difficult to recover the cost in the short term for this kind of investment. Is it worth taking on billions of dollars in debt for such a high-risk project? Now Future Human Technology is fully expanding its global business, and it can be said that it is in a stage of rapid development. The establishment of branches and talent reserves all require money. If the capital chain is broken, the consequences will be disastrous."
Looking at Jiang Chen seriously, Xia Shiyu asked a very pointed question.
This is a problem.
It's embarrassing to say that Xia Shiyu has always been managing this big company for him. Not to mention the company's operating conditions, even the company's top management, the chairman, didn't fully acknowledge it. Although we had a drink together last time. But after such a long time, he could hardly remember the names of those people.
Of course, this cannot be blamed on Jiang Chen for being forgetful. After all, he is a man living in two worlds.
Hearing this, Jiang Chen also touched his chin and began to think deeply.
“How much does it cost to expand Futureren Technology’s business?”
"Currently, we are planning to establish branches in five major regions: Australia, North America, Europe, Russia, and Southeast Asia. Including the construction of branch headquarters, employee employment and training, the cost is estimated to be US$800 million."
"Eight hundred million US dollars? It's not a lot." Jiang Chen frowned.
Seeing that the company's chairman had no idea about money, Xia Shiyu couldn't help but raise her head and began to educate Jiang Chen on basic science knowledge.
"We are in the Internet industry, and our current income mainly relies on Future Man 1.0 and the "New Era" mobile game. Although we have temporarily formed an absolute technical advantage, with the current update rate of Internet technology, no one can guarantee that this technical advantage will be maintained forever. Go on. Imagine if a replacement for Futureman 1.0 appeared on the market, even if it could only perform one of hardware acceleration, power saving, and intelligent operating system. Even if it was slightly inferior to Futureman 1.0 in terms of functionality, it would still Is it free? Are people still willing to pay for our VI project?”
"Once that time comes, we will have to reduce VI fees, and even change the originally charged services to free use. If we lose the profit channel of Futureman 1.0 membership fee. It is no exaggeration to say that the operating conditions of Futureman Technology will be It could even go from profit to loss.”
Xia Shiyu warned Jiang Chen earnestly.
The reason why I have said so much is because I hope Jiang Chen will not spend lavishly just because Futureman Technology has a monthly profit of 30 to 400 million U.S. dollars, or even sign a deal worth 10 billion U.S. dollars without blinking an eye.
It has to be said that Xia Shiyu still looks at the overall situation of the company's development. It's just that Jiang Chen saw further than she did. After all, his vision is not limited to a small future technology.
"Profit channel? I will take care of this matter. You can just take care of the operational matters..." Jiang Chen answered vaguely, touching his chin.
Just take out the virtual reality helmet? But isn't it too early
Although there are no VR virtual reality devices now, they are mainly in the somatosensory and visual simulation stage. For example, a camera can be used to capture the user's movements, then return to the game, and the screen can be displayed in front of the user in a three-dimensional form through VR glasses. How is it like the virtual reality technology of the 22nd century, which directly uses a neural access device to intercept the electrical signals of the spinal nerves, and goes directly into the "iron box". The brain and muscles of the whole body are sleeping, but the consciousness appears in the virtual world.
There is no need to rely on physical methods such as vibration or acupuncture to simulate real feelings. Instead, simulated neural electrical signals are used to fake these feelings directly on the cerebral cortex. You don’t even need a display screen, because there is no need to “unnecessary” imaging on the retina. Virtual reality devices in the 22nd century can start directly from the optic nerve. By then, playing games with your eyes closed will no longer be a dream.
It's just that the technological generation gap is so big that Jiang Chen himself is a little unsure whether to build the space elevator or the virtual helmet first.
"Okay, then I won't ask about this matter anymore. But as the chairman, you should still have an idea of the company's operating conditions."
"Haha, don't worry." Jiang Chen smiled confidently.
Just kidding, there are so many good things in the last days, why are you still worried about not having money to spend? But he really had to think carefully about what he should use to make money next. Let Yao Yao or Du Yongkang develop another software? But for a while, he couldn't think of an idea.
Artificial intelligence has been developed, speed improvement and power saving have been developed, and mobile games have been developed. What else is missing in smartphones
Just when he was distracted, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a red packaging box under the coffee table.
"What's this?"
Jiang Chen curiously reached out and picked up the box the size of a biscuit box, but Xia Shiyu jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
Grabbing the box from Jiang Chen's hand, Xia Shiyu blushed, stuffed the box behind her back and hid it.
However, the more she hid it, the more curious Jiang Chen became. What could it be that makes the iceberg beauty look like this
Could it be...
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but look at Xia Shiyu with ambiguous eyes. I can only blame him for having such a dirty mind that he can think of anything like that.
It has to be said that women are sensitive animals. Seeing the obviously abnormal smile on Jiang Chen's face, Xia Shiyu was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses.
"You, what dirty things are you thinking about in your mind! It's weight loss tea! Weight loss tea!"
Giving up on herself, she threw the box into Jiang Chen's arms. The blush on Xia Shiyu's face reached the base of her neck, and she gritted her teeth in anger.
What on earth is this bastard thinking about! It’s so abominable!
"Slimming tea? But you're not fat." Jiang Chen glanced at Xia Shiyu in confusion.
My waist and legs are very slender. Let alone losing weight, it would be better to say that I have gained a little weight...
Wait, slimming tea...
Jiang Chen seemed to have caught something in his mind, closed his eyes, and chewed the word "lose weight" repeatedly.
However, Xia Shiyu didn't notice the abnormality on Jiang Chen's face. Her cold and pretty face was completely replaced by a blush, and she buried her head in silence.
He said I'm not fat
In other words... He is very satisfied with my figure
It has to be said that the imagination of girls in love is so rich, even Xia Meimei, whose emotional intelligence is close to negative, is not immune to this.
"Butt...butt has gotten a little bigger recently."
Fingers twirled around her temples and hair, she whispered at a decibel level that only she could hear.
But as soon as the words came out of her mouth, she was stunned. Why would she say such an embarrassing thing!
Blushing so red that she was about to bleed, Xia Shiyu buried her head tightly, too embarrassed to look at Jiang Chen.
Although Jiang Chen didn't notice her embarrassment at all, nor did he hear her muttering.
For urban white-collar workers, sitting on a stool for a long time at work and growing fat on the buttocks is basically an occupational disease. But Xia Shiyu is okay, her situation is similar to those people who are obviously skinny and can be blown away by a gust of wind, but they clamor to lose weight every day. After all, it is a woman's nature to love beauty, especially for women who have a crush.
Suddenly, Jiang Chen clapped his hands and stood up, startling Xia Shiyu who was just thinking wildly.
"Hahahaha! I remembered it! Damn, why did you forget that thing!"
Because it was too low-end, he never took it seriously, and even didn't even bother to take it seriously. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that the money from this thing is even scarier than the money from any software, and it's much more stable!
Looking at Jiang Chen who was laughing in shock, Xia Shiyu was completely stunned.
She couldn't understand, what was wrong with him? (.)
