Jiang Chen was never a person who favored one thing over another. He was a bit unscrupulous at best.
He has always thought so.
I spent a pleasant Christmas Eve and Christmas with Ayesha. And on Christmas Eve, he returned to the end of the world with the fruit pudding and turkey made by Ayesha.
Even though he had wealth that was unimaginable to others, he had never forgotten this villa. His subordinates had suggested to him more than once that he should demolish the villa and renovate it. After all, this building had been exposed to nuclear explosions. Even if the radioactive fallout had been cleaned up, the cracks on the wall were still difficult to cover up.
However, Jiang Chen decisively refused.
For him, this place means a lot more than just a place to sleep.
"Wow! It's so delicious! How did you do it? The flavors of mango and strawberry are perfectly blended together. It's really... great!" The little hand held the fork, and the white and silver hair couldn't help shaking. Lin Ling's different-colored eyes, one red and one black, shone with happiness.
I'm going to just eat some pudding, there's no need to show off my orgasmic face!
But it was obvious that both Lin Ling and Tingting, who was living in her body, admired Aisha's craftsmanship.
"Jiang, brother Jiang Chen." Yao Yao tugged at the corner of Jiang Chen's clothes and said timidly.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Chen looked at Yao Yao with a smile and asked,
"That...that girl named Ayesha, does her cooking taste better than mine?"
Yao Yao asked a question that was difficult to answer, just like what girls always like to ask: "Who is more beautiful, me or her?" Who is the better cook? From Jiang Chen's point of view, it can only be said that each has its own merits. But of course he wouldn't tell such a stupid truth.
"Of course it's Yao Yao," Jiang Chen reached out and rubbed the little girl's head with a smile, "Yao Yao is the most delicious."
Unlike what Jiang Chen expected, Yao Yao didn't show a happy smile, but made a big blush. Although the happy look could still be seen in those big eyes, Jiang Chen always felt that something was not right.
Sun Xiaorou was still smiling, and she elegantly put the pudding into her equally delicate lips with a fork.
"Sister, a very powerful opponent has appeared."
"kindness!"
"Huh? Aren't you jealous, sister?" Sun Xiaorou tilted her head slightly and looked at Sun Jiao, who was dealing with the turkey on the plate.
"Hmph, I'm used to how shameless that guy is!" After saying that, Sun Jiao glared at Jiang Chen fiercely.
Although it was a "severe" glare, Xiaorou next to her could still see the gentleness hidden in her sister's eyes.
After a sumptuous dinner, the table was left with a mess of cups and plates.
After everyone cleared away the plates, it was getting late. Yao Yao and Lin Ling went to take a shower first and then went back to their room to rest.
And Jiang Chen’s Christmas Eve with the two sisters Sun Jiao and Xiaorou has just begun...
…
When Jiang Chen returned to the present world, it was already the day after Christmas.
High-tech fresh water was successfully launched, and Carson Lodge called to congratulate him.
"Congratulations, Mr. Jiang Chen, your assets now have an additional eight billion US dollars. On behalf of Wall Street investors, I wish you a Merry Christmas!"
This call was supposed to come two days ago, but Jiang Chen went to the end of the world, so he didn't receive it.
"Thank you for your blessing." Jiang Chen smiled happily.
“If you still have plans to list a subsidiary, please be sure to contact us!”
"Haha, if so." Jiang Chen dismissed Carson's temptation with a smile.
The Boston Consortium is an ally, but Jiang Chen has never considered them to be the kind of people he confides in. The market value is overvalued to such an extent. If there are no institutions behind it, it would be unjustifiable. The only person most likely to push up the stock price of Xinshui is the Boston Group.
And they will do this for no other reason than two motives.
First, because of the stocks held by Carson Lodge, it is also good for him to increase the market value of these stocks.
The second reason is that the Boston Consortium hopes that by making the cake bigger, the Future People Group will be interested in becoming a "cake chef" with it and get more cakes listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The more subsidiaries the Future Man Group has listed in the United States, the more benefits the Boston Consortium will receive from them, and the White House and Congress will feel more at ease with the Future Man Group.
But Carson's hopes were doomed.
The listing of the subsidiary this time gave Futureman Group a taste of the sweetness, but it did not make Jiang Chen get carried away and "faint".
I have to admit that the one-time gain from going public is indeed very attractive. It takes twenty years to earn money in one second, but Jiang Chen never expected to make money from this. The listing of Gaoxin Danshui is just a matter of making the right choice after weighing the pros and cons. After all, the Gulf of Aden is next to Somalia, and Star Ring Trading does not have the diplomatic influence of overseas troops for the time being.
There's no need for that.
Jiang Chen could only use four words to describe the intentions of the Boston Consortium and Wall Street.
The hook is straight and the bait is salty.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen went to Crescent Island.
As the population of Coro Island surged, the number of employees of Star Ring Trading also expanded several times, and its business also expanded from a simple military contractor to aerospace, communications and other fields, seeming to have copied the development model of Raytheon Company.
The armed forces on Crescent Island are the most powerful military force in the entire New Kingdom, and they are also the strongest trump card in Jiang Chen's hand. From the initial scale of more than a hundred people, it has grown to 3,000 people now. One-fifth of them are civilian personnel and logistics, and four-fifths are well-deserved war machines!
When Jiang Chen arrived at Crescent Island, Ivan was already waiting at the port.
After landing on the island, Jiang Chen went straight to the center of the island without making any further stops.
There is a very spacious factory building there, which is also the entrance to Crescent Island's underground arsenal. This is usually used to store weapons that are not yet visible, such as power armor,
Ever since the Moro Independence War and the submarine missile silo demonstrations, an eye has grown on the top of Crescent Island’s head. Jiang Chen simply collected the terrain data of Crescent Island and reported it to the architects at the end of the world. As their "professional ability test questions", he designed a transformation plan, and then mobilized engineering robots to carry out the underground arsenal. widened.
According to the specifications of the temporary shelter, Jiang Chen not only moved the new equipment training ground underground, but also built an "L"-shaped submarine port under the island for submarines to enter. The sea near Crescent Island is shallow, but fortunately there is an undersea fault leading to the deep sea. On the side wall of this fault, an amphibious engineering robot has opened an exit, which can allow small and medium-sized submarines such as Shuidi to enter and exit.
The project took five months and was completed around October this year. At that time, Jiang Chen was at the end of the world, and he never came here to see it after it was completed. But now, the underground training facilities have been put into use.
Such as power armor. (.)
