Chapter 188 Cursing in a Meeting

"Boss Li, don't worry, I'll make sure you don't lose anything!"

"Mr. Chen, thank you for helping me so much."

Chen Xiao interrupted him as he was about to express his gratitude, "Mr. Li, we are friends, no need for polite words!"

"You won't lose money in this business. If you need funding, you can tell me and I will provide you with some personal support!"

Li Guoqiang was so moved that he didn't know what to say.

I could only keep thanking him and invite Chen Xiao for tea!
He never thought that inviting Mr. Chen over for a chat would lead to such a good fortune!

"I won't drink the tea anymore. I have some things to discuss with Mr. Xu. You can always come upstairs to find me when you're free. Of course, the prerequisite is that I'm there, haha!"

Chen Xiao stood up and laughed heartily!
Li Guoqiang knew that the moment he expressed his intention to work for Junxing Automobile, it seemed that he was one step closer to Mr. Chen's circle. He had never told him that he could join him at any time before.

Entering the office area of ​​Junxiao Investment Group, I happened to run into Xu Wu's assistant, "Xiao Liu, is Mr. Xu here?"

"Hello, Mr. Chen! Mr. Xu is having a conference call with Junxing Automobile!" Xiao Liu said with a sweet smile.

"Well, when she's done, ask her to come over to me!"

Junxiao Group is changing with each passing day. It was very quiet when it was first established, but now the public areas are full of people coming and going.

Chen Xiao was excited. He had never inspected the company before. Xu Wu happened to be in a meeting, so he decided to take a look around!
He was familiar with the layout of the place, and he would definitely not go to the large office area to avoid causing a commotion. However, he was worrying too much, as almost no one in the large office area knew him!
The only person in this company who is qualified to know Mr. Chen is at least at the vice president level or above. The exception is Xu Wu’s assistant team who knows him!
After taking a quick look, Chen Xiao found someone in the conference room when he passed by it, and subconsciously looked inside!
"Hou Fei, Yuan Kai?" Chen Xiao was puzzled. Why did they come here to do a roadshow?

Several people from the investment department were sitting opposite Chen Xiao. Hou Fei and Yuan Kai had their backs to Chen Xiao, so they didn't see him!

Chen Xiao didn't stay long. He went back and said to Xu Wu's assistant, Xiao Liu, "Go and send me a copy of the BP for the project that's currently on the roadshow!"

Xiao Liu didn't know why Mr. Chen would be interested in such a small project, but she replied without hesitation: "Got it, Mr. Chen, I'll send it to you right away!"

In a conference room on the 28th floor of Junxiao Investment today, Hou Fei is giving a roadshow in front of the big screen!

"Dear leaders, the project I will be presenting today is based on a materials laboratory robot!"

"As we all know, there are laboratories in various industries. For example, testing agencies have labs for rocks and fragments. Medicine and biology also have labs!"

"These labs all have one thing in common: the scenes inside are relatively uncomplicated, but the environment is extremely harsh, which means few people are willing to work there!"

"But this work requires extremely high levels of experience and skills, and requires reliance on experts!"

"This has caused a major pain point for major laboratories: the difficulty in recruiting people, and it often takes a year or two to train a new person!"

"After much effort to train them, they are poached by other units. This has caused great trouble to the various testing institutions!"

"To address this pain point, our technical team proposed this project."

"We've done market research and found that if we develop this product, there will be a market demand of tens of billions of yuan per year in China alone!"

"Our product is the latest and greatest, with no competitors. It's truly an exclusive business!"

"So, everyone, look here! This page is our five-year sales plan!"

His three-year sales plan was displayed on the big screen: 5000 million in the first year, 2 million in the second year, 6 million in the third year, 20 billion in the fourth year, 50 billion in the fifth year, and he was preparing for an IPO!

Hou Fei glanced at the jury opposite him and saw that they were all listening attentively. He looked at Yuan Kai with great pride in his heart!
This was Yuan Kai’s first time participating in such a roadshow. He was shocked by the grand blueprint on Hou Fei’s BP. How could he brag like that?

Next is to introduce the technical team.

Hou Fei's technical team packaged their resumes and put them up as the CTO of this project.

At the same time, they found a few people with postdoctoral titles from somewhere and put them in as technical backbones. Yuan Kai had never heard of these people before. They were probably friends of Hou Fei.

Finally, Hou Fei serves as the CEO of the management team, and claims that he has rich management experience and has served as the executive vice president of a billion-dollar company!

Yuan Kai works as a sales director in a multi-billion dollar enterprise.
Yuan Kai was afraid of such a wild boast. No matter how much he boasted, everything would be exposed once the investigation was done!

Little did he know that Hou Fei had done his homework beforehand and knew that Junxiao Investment Group was more flexible. If it was a good project, their due diligence process would be relatively simple!

The main reason is that he knows Mr. Gao, and he hopes that Mr. Gao can say a few good words to him so that he can skip the due diligence step!

Besides, what if we don’t brag and can’t even get through the first round?
Finally, Hou Fei proposed the idea of ​​this financing, hoping to get 2000 million angel round investment, so that he can release 10% of the equity!
Yuan Kai was stunned. Does this mean the valuation is 2 million?
What the hell is this? Isn't this just a scrap from the project Chen Xiao discussed with Jiangzhou Design Institute last time? The cooperation between the two sides has been put aside and cannot be taken care of for the time being!
You dare to ask for 2 million?

Is it really so easy to make money in the high-tech industry?
He was so frightened that after Hou Fei finished his speech, the jury asked Yuan if he had anything to add. He quickly replied, "No, I don't!"

Hou Fei gave him a reproachful look, saying that he had never seen the world and was even nervous about doing a roadshow!

Mr. Xiang, the head of the first investment department of Junxiao Investment Group, said, "I've learned a lot about Dr. Hou's project, and I have a few things I need to know more about!"

Hou Fei gestured for him to speak.

"First, is our company established?"

"Second, do we have any interim results?"

"Third, are there any potential partners or orders?"

"Fourth, what is the basis for the 2 million yuan valuation of this project?"

Hou Fei was speechless for a moment, but fortunately he was thick-skinned and thought for a while before answering.

"The company hasn't been established yet. We're here to confirm our investment intentions. If we can get the investment, we'll set up the company right away!"

Mr. Xiang had a blank expression on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking!
Hou Fei continued, "Our work involves the transformation of scientific research results, so we do have some interim results."

"We've already got interested parties. Our Jiangzhou Design Institute has over 20 laboratories, and they have an initial procurement demand of nearly 500 million for this project!"

"Regarding the 2 million yuan valuation, after all, this market is worth tens of billions of yuan a year, and we have a leading product that basically monopolizes the market. I think a million yuan valuation is reasonable and very pragmatic!"

Mr. Xiang laughed and said, "So this project is still at the PPT stage and there's no product yet, right?"

Hou Fei was annoyed for a moment, then said, "Once we get the money, we can turn it into products at any time!"

Mr. Xiang continued, "You said Jiangzhou Design Institute is interested in making the first batch of purchases. So, does it have an order contract? If so, this can also provide strong support for financing!"

Hou Fei remained calm and said, "We're already discussing the details. The contract will definitely be signed!"

Yuan Kai was shocked. Hou Fei was really good at this. He could lie without batting an eyelid and make up stories so fluently!
Mr. Xiang smiled, closed the notebook in his hand and said, "Well, Dr. Hou, I have a clear understanding of the project. It is a good project, but we still need to discuss it. Please wait for our reply!"

Hou Fei stood up with a smile on his face and said, "It's a good project, otherwise I wouldn't have chosen to cooperate with Junxiao Group. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation!"

Mr. Xiang politely and mechanically shook hands with Hou Fei and Yuan Kai and said goodbye. He then sent them to the elevator and watched them go downstairs!
Returning to the conference room, a member of Mr. Xiang's team said, "Leader, this BP is really eye-opening!"

Mr. Xiang glared at him and said, "You are surprised by what you have seen!"

"Should we report this project?" "What the hell! What kind of project is this? It's just an idea. Is an idea worth 200 million?"

"It seems like this idea has already taken over the national market!"

"If it had already produced results and was leading the industry, I might consider it. But what kind of project is this? It's not even a shell company!"

"You're trying to get me fired by submitting this kind of project. Do I have such low professionalism?"

Mr. Xiang scolded his subordinate. He was not thinking about how to report to the company, but how to respond to Mr. Gao!
After all, BP was recommended by Gao Yue, and Gao Yue is close to Mr. Xu! He has to consider her face!

Sitting in Yuan Kai's Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Hou Fei said excitedly: "Old Yuan, this project is basically no problem!"

Yuan Kai no longer believed him. Every time he said that there was no problem, it was all exaggerated!

He was at the scene today, and he didn't see anything wrong at all, but after all, he had never participated in financing, so it was difficult for him to judge this matter!

Hou Fei continued, "Mr. Xiang has a very clear understanding and knows that this is a good project!"

Yuan Kai was dumbfounded at the time, thinking to himself: "You can't be so damn sure that there's basically no problem just because of what he said? It's just polite talk, don't you really understand?"

Hou Fei continued, "They may want an order contract from Jiangzhou Design Institute later. We need to prepare for this in advance. Please make an appointment with Assistant Bai, and I will talk to her in person. We need to at least sign a letter of intent!"

Yuan Kai looked at him in surprise: "You went to see Assistant Bai, will she pay attention to you? She said she only recognized Chen Xiao!"

Hou Fei didn't notice his abnormality and continued, "I will first talk to her in the name of Dr. Feng's robot, and then tell her that Dr. Feng's robot can't do it at this time, and my personal team will do it!"

Forget it, I have completely lost hope. Yuan Kai has no ambition at all, and Hou Fei’s wild ideas are a bit too out of tune!

Yuan Kai has a bright future in Dr. Feng's robotics department. There is no need for him to go through fire and water with him. That would be like a moth to a flame!

"Mr. Hou, when can I get reimbursement for the money I spent on dinner and drinks last time?"

"Fuck! Old Yuan, I find you're a very narrow-minded person. Do I owe you that little bit of money? Do you think I'd owe you this money? You're really too dark!"

Fuck you, I just asked you a question, and you said I had a dark heart. You have done such a thing, and you still said that I don’t want to think of you like that!

Yuan Kai was not a good-tempered person either. He felt that he could not talk to Hou Fei. After just two sentences, he wanted to drive away and die with him!
Hold on, damn it, I must stay away from this kind of person, God bless Mr. Feng to fire him quickly! Or divest the business department from him as soon as possible!

Chen Xiao briefly flipped through Hou Fei's BP in the office and started laughing after turning a few pages!

It turns out that besides being stupid, this guy also has such a cute side!
He's so stupid, yet he's still trying to fool people. Does he think all those investors out there are idiots? Even more stupid than him?
I have no interest in reading further. This kind of project will never reach Xu Wu's desk!

It would be better to browse some information about new energy vehicles with this time. He has been paying more attention to this area recently!
After watching a few Douyin videos, Chen Xiao frowned!
Some self-media bloggers are comparing the data of Feichi Automobile and Junxing Automobile!

The weekly sales comparison of the past two weeks is listed. This is nothing. It is a thing of the past that Junxing Auto has had zero sales for two consecutive weeks. This cannot be changed!

But another piece of information listed by this blogger made Chen Xiao a little unhappy!
Feichi Automobile has 500 sales outlets nationwide, while Junxing Automobile has less than 10!
The blogger revealed that the 10 locations he listed included those that were about to open, not even 10 of the existing sales outlets!
How can sales be carried out without sales outlets? So this blogger said that the newly taken over Junxiao Group does not know how to sell cars at all. Can such a company save this car company? The answer is obviously no!
Chen Xiao was in deep thought, preparing to have a chat with Xu Wu later. This situation was definitely not acceptable, as the terminal's progress was seriously lagging behind!

It would be funny if there were no sales outlets when Junxing M7 was developed. It would not be a good start on the first try and it would be difficult to recover sales later!
Although he understood that the reason why there were so few outlets was because "Apocalypse Automobile" had gone bankrupt and a large number of stores were closed!

He called Xiao Liu and asked him how long it would take for Mr. Xu's meeting to end!

Because he comes less often, he doesn't have a secretary!
He rarely gets involved in specific matters, and there's nothing for him to do even if he has a secretary!
Since Mr. Chen was urging him, Xiao Liu naturally didn't dare to delay and quickly ran to ask Xu Wu for instructions.

After a while, she came to report to Chen Xiao: "Boss Xu's meeting is still a while away, and she asked me to ask if you have time to attend it together!"

Chen Xiao nodded and went to Xu Wu's office with Xiao Liu!
Xiao Liu helped him swipe the card to access the office door. Chen Xiao pushed the door open and just heard Xu Wu getting angry!

"Boss Xu Gang, I'm warning you. If you continue to act on your own and disregard the group's instructions on important points, you will immediately submit your resignation!"

Chen Xiao made a gesture towards Xu Wu, indicating that she should not worry about him and let her continue!

Xu Gang said in a chilling voice, "Boss Xu, it's almost the Spring Festival, and it's really difficult to open a store. Many stores haven't expired yet!"

Xu Wu asked, "Are you trying to tell me that after the New Year, many shopping malls will reopen stores that expired in March?"

"Please tell me, after the Junxing M7 launch event, how will you sell the car without a retail store? Will you open a stall?"

After listening for a while, Chen Xiao knew that he didn't need to talk to Xu Wu about this matter, because she was already handling it!
Xu Gang said, "If we insist on opening a store now, on the one hand, if we don't have any products to sell, we'll waste rent, and on the other hand, we'll have to raise the rent significantly to pry the store out of business!"

Xu Wu sneered and said, "Did I say that you are not allowed to waste money on rent? Did I say that I don't agree with your substantial rent increase?"

"I have repeatedly stressed that in the face of the group's overall strategy, all small problems cannot become problems!"

"You're wasting money, raising the rent. Submit your budget, I'll approve and sign it, and I'll give you the special funds! I only have one request: open 1 stores by the end of January. If you can't, talk to HR about compensation!"

Xu Gang on the other side of the screen was pale. He hadn't expected President Xu to get so angry. He quickly said, "Got it, President Xu. I promise to finish it! If I can't, I will resign!"

Xu Wu said calmly: "Let's adjourn the meeting and get to work!"

Turn off the meeting link and close your laptop!

He stood up and said to Chen Xiao, "Mr. Chen finally has the leisure and grace to come to the company today!"

Chen Xiao knew that she was still angry, so he smiled and said, "I came to see how powerful my Mr. Xu is!"

Xu Wu snorted, sat down on the sofa next to him, and said, "These people act on their own, using their inherent ideas to do things, thinking that saving the company money is their work achievement!"

"Give him some time. After all, he's still in the adjustment period and hasn't figured out our style of play yet!"

Xu Wu glanced at him and rolled her eyes: "You are good at being a good person, but you let me do all the good deeds!"

Chen Xiao said jokingly: "Then who made your face whiter than mine?"

Xu Wu snorted, "How can there be a boss like you who doesn't do any real work except chatting with his subordinates?"

Chen Xiao said, "What are you saying? For the sake of the company's cause, I even pretended to be a KOC for a certain brand and participated in a live broadcast on a self-media platform!"

Xu Wu chuckled, amused by his strange behavior. She remembered that he pretended to be the KOC of Shanyun Automobile. Of course, she knew that the young man Xiang Qianchong was the young master of Shanyun Automobile. She also watched the live broadcast in its entirety!
I can't help laughing when I think about how Jin Wuxian took the blame the whole time!

"Tell me, what new instructions did Mr. Chen give me today? I will personally oversee the acquisition of five shopping malls within a month. If anything goes wrong, you will replace me!"

"Replace you? I can't bear to do that!"

Xu Wu blushed and snorted, "You can see that it's hard to find someone as willing to risk their life for you as I am, right?"

"Yes, so I'm here today to announce something else!"

She thought it was about work, so she asked seriously, "Tell me!"

"In recognition of your contributions to Junxiao Group, I am willing to grant you 1% of the shares. This 1% will remain unchanged no matter how much capital the company injects into it in the future!"
