“Alright, alright, can’t I just give it to you?”
Faced with his beloved daughter’s coquettishness, An Feng could only raise both hands in surrender.
But in his heart, he thought that he needed to buy a few more billion yuan worth of insurance for An Nuonuo.
He knew Jiang Xu wouldn’t do anything to wrong An Nuonuo, let alone let her down.
But he also knew that the things Jiang Xu was involved in now were highly dangerous.
Be it smartphone chips, memory chips, screens, etc., those were all massive money pits.
Forget tens of billions.
Even if you poured a hundred billion into it, you might not see results in the short term.
It might even end in complete failure, with a total loss.
For the sake of his beloved daughter’s future, An Feng felt he must take out several insurance policies for An Nuonuo.
There was a kind of insurance on the market that remains unaffected even in bankruptcy.
It’s like a very safe deposit; you just collect a fixed return every year.
They stayed until very late before Jiang Xu and the others left.
First, they dropped Jiang Shan and Chen Yue at a property owned by Jiang Xu, then the two of them went home.
On the way back, Jiang Xu gave An Nuonuo a thumbs-up: “Well done. You truly deserve to be my future wife, so wise and virtuous.”
She hasn’t even crossed the threshold yet, but An Nuonuo was already continually moving her family’s ‘things’ out.
Jiang Xu was delighted, but An Feng was utterly depressed.
An Nuonuo giggled foolishly.
She hadn’t thought about it much, feeling just happy to be able to help Jiang
The next day, An Feng transferred ten billion yuan of dowry in advance to An Nuonuo.
And An Nuonuo immediately transferred it to Jiang Xu.
With this sum of money, Jiang Xu immediately headed to Hua City with several bodyguards.
Finding Zhang Long to finalize the cooperation was the priority.
Inside the corporation, Penguin was giving this product significant attention. Long ago, they realized that QQs user base could no longer grow. Moreover, the product was becoming more and more bloated. If this continued, it would indeed result in severe consequences.
As a result, WeChat was born.
Jiang Xu remembered that at this time, Penguin was already preparing to begin a large-scale redirection of users to WeChat.
Taking some pastries made by An Nuonuo herself, Jiang Xu set out with his bodyguards.
He had always wanted to learn some fighting techniques, but for various reasons, it hadn’t happened yet.
Jiang Xu thought that after this negotiation, he should find a few teachers to learn some skills.
Apart from gaining some confidence, it could also help with keeping fit and healthy.
After all, An Nuonuo was really taking a toll on his back…
In the afternoon, Jiang Xu arrived at the headquarters of WeChat in Hua City. The current headquarters of WeChat weren’t as impressive as they would be a few years later; they were still quite modest.
Jiang Xu had already made an appointment.
At his current level, he was someone Zhang Long had to treat with the utmost seriousness.
Zhang Long was still quite young, but he already exhibited the makings of a major future player.
‘?Mr. Jiang, your esteemed presence is a supreme honor for me,” said Zhang Long with sincere enthusiasm.
After all, Jiang Xu was already a successful businessman.
He had status, position, wealth.
And he was still so young, with a limitless future ahead of him.
Zhang Long’s words came straight from the heart.
“Don’t be so formal,” Jiang Xu said with a laugh, “I’m here to visit Mr. Zhang this time to discuss some potential cooperation.”
Zhang Long spoke with solemn respect, “Please, go ahead.”
After taking their seats, Jiang Xu got straight to the point with his proposal. “I’m quite optimistic about your company’s prestige and was wondering if it would be possible for me to hold some shares.
I won’t be involved in any of the operations, simply collecting dividends would suffice.”
Initially, Jiang Xu had planned to secure the traffic entrance for Prestige for the next ten years.
But upon further consideration, acquiring shares seemed like a much better idea.
It was known that in a few years, Prestige’s annual net profit would soar to hundreds of billions.
They were making money faster than one could print it.
“This… I’m afraid that’s not possible,” Zhang Long said with a bitter smile and a shake of his head, “Mr. Jiang, you must be somewhat aware.
The Penguin Corporation takes great interest in the communications field and needs to maintain full control.”
“Fine.” Jiang Xu didn’t press the matter and nodded, saying, “Then let’s discuss the future traffic entrance of Prestige…”
Eventually, after over an hour of discussion, they came to an agreement. Jiang Xu spent fifteen billion to purchase the five most core traffic display spots on Prestige for the next ten years.
It’s worth noting that in a few years, one core traffic display spot would cost several billion a year at least.
At present, Jiang Xu managed to secure them for less than ten million per spot. Rounded up, that was almost like getting them for free.
Moreover, to prevent any chance of the other party having second thoughts, Jiang Xu made sure the contract specified that a breach would incur a penalty of a hundred times the agreed amount.
Once Prestige reached its peak, a month’s worth of traffic might be enough for
Jiang Xu to recoup his entire investment.
After negotiating this deal, the cash flow in Jiang Xu’s company was less than a billion.
The only quick way to make a large sum was through Te coins.
However, the first wave of Te coin appreciation still needed some time to materialize.
For now, the only option was to increase income and reduce expenses. After finalizing the contracts, Zhang Long invited Jiang Xu to dine with him.
Zhang Long was destined to become a significant force in the future, so naturally, he couldn’t refuse.
Building a good relationship with him now would be beneficial for Jiang Xu’s future endeavors.
After a satisfying meal and drinks, Zhang Long said to Jiang Xu with a hint of mystery, ‘Come on, I’ll take you to a nice place.”
Curious, Jiang Xu asked, “What is it?”
Zhang Long teased him, “You’ll see when we get there.”
Jiang Xu didn’t ask further and followed him to an independent villa The interior was beautifully decorated, resembling a palace.
Even the flooring was made of gold.
“Clap, clap.”
With a round of applause from Zhang Long, the next second saw the emergence of a parade of girls, each with a unique style, great figures, and high attractiveness, from inside the house.
Moreover, they all had different skin colors.
“Mr. Zhang, what is this?” Jiang Xu looked at him, puzzled. Zhang Long laughed and said, “These are part of my collection.
Today, I’m in a good mood. Mr. Jiang, feel free to choose anyone you like. Whether you want to experience right here or take one home, there’s no problem.”
High-end socializing often resorts to the most primitive methods.
Jiang Xu was no longer surprised by these tactics.
If it had been the old him, he would have outright refused.
But now, he had become much more tactful in his social interactions.
Refusing the host directly would cause a loss of face.
It was better to pretend to agree, choose someone to take away, not touch her, and then return her after some time.
So, Jiang Xu pretended it was a hard choice and said, “They all seem quite good; perhaps Mr. Zhang could pick one for me?”
