I have ten trillion licking dog gold

Chapter 1662?

Jinhai Industry.

Shi Qianqian quietly examined the financial statements that had just been handed to her, her once shrewish face becoming increasingly expressionless.

Yu Qingfeng, the group's executive vice president, head of Chenguang Auto, and a veteran of the Shi Zhenhua era, sat upright at his desk, waiting for his former "niece" to review the report card.

"Uncle Yu, when will our second model be available?"

Shi Xixi asked questions as she looked at the screen.

Nearly a year has passed since the group adjusted its strategic focus and made a major foray into the new energy vehicle market, and the results achieved are clearly presented in this report.

The only model launched, Chenguang No. 1, has achieved a cumulative delivery volume of 62800 units and revenue of 20 billion yuan.

However, due to lower gross profit and gross margin than the industry average, coupled with the proportion of R&D investment, the net income is actually not ideal.

exactly.

It is currently operating at a loss.

That's right.

Loss.

Ordinary people may not understand how businessmen could possibly lose money in business, but the mindset of businesses is vastly different from that of ordinary people.

Since starting its car manufacturing business, Jinhai Industrial has incurred losses of approximately 40 billion yuan for this newly established project. Moreover, with the new factory in Kyoto under construction, Jinhai Industrial is not only not curbing its efforts but is instead increasing its investment even more significantly.

"The second sedan model has actually completed testing, but I think it's not the right time to announce it yet, because even if it were launched now, our production capacity wouldn't be able to meet the demand."

From his tone, it's clear that Yu Qingfeng, as a veteran in the business world, has great confidence in Chenguang Auto. Although he belongs to the same era as Shi Zhenhua, he doesn't want to rest on his laurels. Like young people, he is energetic, enterprising, and willing to try and take on challenges. This is why Shi Qianqian chose him from among so many candidates to take charge of this major project that could determine the future of Jinhai.

“Chairman Shi, I think we can’t be impatient. Our production capacity is gradually increasing, and now it’s 3000 units per month, which can guarantee that customers can take delivery of their cars within two months at most after placing an order. If we launch a new model, it will inevitably squeeze out the production capacity of Chenguang No. 1, significantly lengthen the delivery cycle, and it also cannot meet the production capacity requirements of the new model’s orders. Launching it rashly will only please neither side.”

Yu Qingfeng said earnestly, "With Jinhai's strength, seizing the market is not difficult; the challenge lies in stabilizing it. It's like conquering a kingdom versus maintaining it. We already have a place in the new energy vehicle market, and I believe our main task for the next stage is to stabilize our core business and continue to maintain our excellent reputation. Chairman Shi, although we entered the market relatively late, it's also the best time. The era of 'bad money driving out good' in the new energy vehicle market is over. The public's judgment has been tested. As long as we focus on making quality products and treat our customers responsibly, the market will not let us down. There's no need to rush for short-term gains. Our competitors next door are a cautionary tale."

Shi Xixi looked up and smiled.

“Uncle Yu, my dad says you have a quick temper, but I think that’s complete nonsense.”

Yu Qingfeng was both amused and exasperated. He opened his mouth, then sighed, "Only your precious daughter would dare to say such a thing about your father."

After the joke, Shi Qianqian got back to the point, looking down at the documents. "I agree with what Uncle Yu said. Although the market has entered a stage of fierce competition, we cannot be blinded by appearances. Cars are not fast-moving consumer goods. If we blindly pursue speed, the end result will only be a car crash and death."

In addition to the financial report, the document also outlines the upcoming supporting infrastructure development, such as a self-developed intelligent driving system, the nationwide construction of a supercharging network, and the research and development of battery cells…

"Uncle Yu is the person in charge, so let's do it according to Uncle Yu's idea."

Shi Xixi closed the report.

"I'll be heading to Kyoto this week. Once the new factory is built and operational, Mr. Shi, I can assure you that within six months, the net loss will be reduced to below 10%, we'll turn a profit within a year, and we'll expand into international markets within two years..."

Shi Qianqian laughed, "Why do I feel like Uncle Yu is just making empty promises to me?"

Yu Qingfeng said with a serious expression, "This is not just empty promises, it is the visible future of Chenguang Auto. Chenguang Auto will become the new engine for Jinhai, helping Jinhai to sail towards a more distant future."

Shi Xixi smiled brightly, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Uncle Yu, as the helmsman."

"It's all thanks to Chairman Shi. If we hadn't been able to secure the new factory in Kyoto, our journey would have been much longer."

Shi Qianqian remained calm and composed, saying it was nothing to brag about: "It's just my duty. After taking over Jin Hai, I've been walking on thin ice, afraid that I might do something wrong and become a laughingstock among you uncles and elders, bringing shame to my parents."

Yu Qingfeng hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

To be honest, regardless of what others thought, he initially didn't have a high opinion of this unruly heir to the group.

but.

People can't be seen.

"...Chairman Shi has done more than enough. Your parents must be secretly smiling happily when no one is around."

"Pfft."

Shi Qianqian laughed out loud, then sighed, "Uncle Yu, with those words from you, I feel it's all worth it, no matter how tired I am. When you meet my parents someday, you must tell them what you just said."

Yu Qingfeng laughed heartily, feigning jealousy, and said, "What's the point of meeting with a retired old man?"

“My dad had no choice in the matter. Who told you to have the accident? He didn’t leave you old friends behind on purpose.”

Have a look.

How adept he was at understanding human relationships and worldly affairs!

In fact, for the second generation, the biggest challenge in taking over is not whether they have enough talent, but whether they can win over the old guard of the previous generation.

In this respect, Shi Xixi has done an outstanding job.

"Jingle Bell--"

The cell phone rings.

"Chairman Shi, I'll head out now."

Yu Qingfeng got up at the opportune moment.

Shi Qianqian nodded, and after Yu Qingfeng left, she picked up her phone from her desk, glanced at the caller ID, and then answered with a smile.

"Shurui, I was just thinking of calling you."

"Really? Sister Sisi wanted to see me about something?"

"Isn't it because the factory in Kyoto is about to start construction? You know how much capital it needs."

Shi Xixi deliberately left blank spaces.

"Sister Xixi, don't tell me Jinhai still has money to worry about."

"Who doesn't worry about money? Car manufacturing is a bottomless pit. You can't feel it, but every minute and second that passes by is not time to me, but gold coins that are gone forever."

Li Shurui's laughter came through the phone.

"Just tell me how much you need, Sister Sisi."

Li Yuanhua has never been a stingy person. When she was in college, she made money by live streaming and bought SK11 sets for all of Xu Siyi's roommates.

"For now, we only need five billion."

Since Shi Qianqian dared to speak up, Li Shurui was not flustered and readily agreed.

Before Shi Qianqian could finish speaking, she quickly added, "This can be considered Tianci's investment in Chenguang Auto."

invest.

In the business world, it means expecting a return.

Shi Xixi's smile vanished instantly.

"Shurui, I thought our relationship could have some romantic feelings."

Li Shurui remained calm and composed.

“Sister Xixi, 5 billion is no small amount. If I were an individual, I would definitely pay it back without hesitation, even if Sister Xixi doesn’t return it. But this money has to be paid by the company, and I have to be responsible to the company.”

Reasonable.

Impeccable.

As a fellow business leader, Shi Xixi was even less likely to refute this.

"You don't even have five billion?"

Chairman Shi was no pushover; he immediately adjusted his angle, and the corners of his mouth, unseen by the other party, turned down slightly.

Well said.

It's fine if I don't pay back anything.

Isn't this just a copy of "I Really Have a Bicycle"?

"Don't even mention 5 billion, I don't even have 500 million. How about I send my pay stub to Sister Xixi to see?"

This completely shuts up the other party's request to borrow money.

"hehe."

Shi Qianqian responded with a simple laugh, and then said, "Chenguang Auto is a strategic project of Jinhai. The entire company has poured a lot of effort into it. If outsiders get involved, I will not be able to answer to the company."

Anyone can handle official business by the book.

Sisters are sisters.

That's a different matter.

Even close brothers need to keep clear accounts. Li Shurui paused for a moment, then changed the subject, "Of course I know about Sister Qianqian's investment in Chenguang Auto. How about this, fifty billion, and Sister Qianqian will give me her shares in CX Entertainment, how about that?"

Shi Xixi was truly caught off guard.

"CX Entertainment?"

"Yeah, anyway, it's insignificant to Sister Sisi."

Indeed, it's insignificant. The company was originally founded only to monitor Pei Yunxi, that "vixen," and now that goal has been achieved, Shi Qianqian hardly cares about CX Entertainment.

but.

A person's fundamental character will not change.

Could Shi Xixi allow others to take things from her?

"Why are you interested in CX Entertainment?"

She keenly sensed that something was wrong.

"No, this is to help Sister Xixi solve her problems."

Shi Qianqian almost chuckled in response again.

Your sister treats you like a sister, and you're playing tricks on her, aren't you?
"Shurui, thank you for thinking of me so much, but CX Entertainment is a company that he and I co-founded. I have an extraordinary feeling for CX."

Although she kept calling them "sisters," Chairman Shi was certainly not naive; she knew perfectly well the true nature of their relationship.

"Sister Sisi, you can consider it."

"No need to worry about it. I'll think of another way to solve the funding problem."

Shi Qianqian said firmly, "Don't even think about it!" Borrowing money was just a joke, of course. Even if Jinhai had a tight cash flow, let alone its strong financial backing, where couldn't it raise funds?
"Is Sister Sisi angry?"

"Hehe, no, it's only right that you don't lend it to me."

Li Shurui must have sensed that she was being insincere. After a moment's hesitation, she added, "Then I'll talk to him about it."

Shi Xixi's heart skipped a beat; it was obvious who this "he" referred to.

"He went back to the East China Sea?"

"Yeah. Don't even mention it, I had a huge fight with him just yesterday."

Shi Qianqian's brows furrowed, as if deep in thought.

Her "younger sister" is acting a bit strange today.

Logically speaking, such "family scandals" should not be publicized.

"What's there to argue about between you two?"

She probed subtly.

"Ugh, this is so infuriating."

Li Shurui knew how to keep people in suspense, and she completely piqued Shi Qianqian's curiosity over the phone.

"What did he do?"

Chairman Shi was unaware of the inside story, so there was nothing wrong with him asking the question. However, Li Shurui certainly couldn't answer in the same way he had asked the question.

That's too vulgar.

He said he wanted to be Qin Shi Huang.

"..."

Shi Qianqian was stunned.

Qin Shi Huang?
"What do you mean?"

"literal meaning."

Everyone has emotions.

Women, in particular, how could they not have a temper?

Li Shurui, who claimed to be helping Qin Shi Huang restore the throne, made a mistake in her statement. However, upon closer examination, her statement is not entirely wrong.

can only say.

They are all talented people.

Emperor Qin Shihuang.

literal meaning.

Shi Xixi reacted quickly, completing the granular alignment in just a few seconds.

What does the emperor represent?
The supreme ruler.

It's like the Three Palaces and Six Courtyards.

"He said it directly?"

The minor conflict from just now vanished instantly.

That's how their relationship is—contradictory yet unified. They each have their own interests, but if they encounter external problems, they immediately unite.

"Yes, it's not that direct. It's too direct, Sister Xixi. Isn't this bullying? How can I accept this?"

Shi Xixi thought quickly.

She was not the empress.

So, for her, someone becoming emperor seems to be good news in some ways.

wrong.

What a fart!
With three palaces and six courtyards, how many people would that require?
"He has quite an appetite; can his body handle it?"

Shi Qianqian said coldly, immediately becoming indignant and completely forgetting that she had personally verified someone's body during the previous hospital examination.

"So I had a big fight with him, and when I woke up this morning, I saw that my eyes were swollen."

"Cried?"

Li Shurui remained silent.

Shi Qianqian immediately forgot the unpleasantness from earlier. Her younger sister had come to her to complain, and as the older sister, she had to show her responsibility.

"Why are you crying! What problem can crying solve? Let me tell you, Shurui, tears are the most useless thing. You have to make a scene with him. Everyone knows you're his girlfriend. You're just too tolerant. He actually cares a lot about his image. If you let everyone know that he's always looking for something better, see if he'll be scared."

Li Shurui, who went to bed earlier than anyone else last night, said weakly, "What if he breaks up with me if this gets out of hand?"

separate?

Isn't that... even better!

Shi Qianqian's eyes lit up with joy, but she said decisively, "He wouldn't dare! If he dares to take advantage of you and then abandon you, don't worry, I will absolutely not let him off the hook!"

When sisters are of one mind, their strength can break even metal.

Li Shurui remained silent for a long time, seemingly too moved to speak because of having such a kind older sister.

"Dong dong dong..."

There was a knock on the door.

The secretary walked in.

"Chairman Shi, Mr. Jiang has arrived."

Say Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived?

Shi Qianqian immediately made a shushing gesture, then casually picked up her phone and said, "Shurui, I have some work to take care of..."

How to fatten four?

Shouldn't we be sharing intelligence?
Why keep it a secret?
"Okay, Sister Sisi, you go ahead and get busy."

The naive Li Shurui believed it to be true and considerately hung up the phone.

Shi Xixi put down her phone without any shame.
