Chapter 497 Rapidly Growing Monthly Revenue

Li Shanshan was stunned. She had met this person once before. She had heard from her colleagues that he was the boss of the service company where she worked. The "Little Wu" that Boss Cha mentioned was him.

The supervisor also saw it, or rather, when he checked the call, he guessed that it was to General Manager Wu. He felt a little flustered, but he was General Manager Wu's right-hand man, so he had to protect himself. But when he saw General Manager Wu running over, he suddenly panicked. General Manager Wu seemed very afraid of this little old man in front of him.

"Check the general."

The way Mr. Wu was bowing and scraping made Li Shanshan almost believe that he was the big boss of her company, someone her colleagues regarded as an important figure. But now he looked like a clown begging for a meal.

Cha Lan didn't waste any words: "Two things. First, this person should not appear on this yacht again. Second, this Li Shanshan is being promoted to supervisor. You will personally mentor her. If any problems arise in the future, I will not look for her, I will only look for you."

Mr. Wu was taken aback. What was going on? He turned to look at his supervisor, who looked pale and aggrieved. "Mr. Wu, I was just following the company's standard procedures."

He realized that Mr. Wu was terrified of this person. What difference was there between this Mr. Cha telling him to leave the yacht and firing him? Mr. Wu's service company certainly didn't just serve this yacht; they handled other projects as well. But while he earned a little over ten thousand yuan a month as a supervisor on other projects, he earned 6 here. This was mainly because the yacht owner paid their salaries; they were only responsible for service and personnel management.

It's fair to say that the jobs on this yacht are the most lucrative in the company; many people would rather be a waiter here than a manager in another branch. And now, this General Manager Cha wants them to leave—isn't that a death sentence?

He was Mr. Wu's confidant, and Mr. Wu still wanted to protect him. As for Li Shanshan, Mr. Cha's intention was not to find him a subordinate at all, but to find him a tyrant. If she was to be his supervisor, he would have to mentor her, and if she didn't do well, it would all be his responsibility. Just thinking about it gave him a headache.

"Mr. Cha, isn't there some misunderstanding here? I..."

Cha Lan waved his hand impatiently. "There's no misunderstanding. The reason I let him go is because I don't like him and I don't allow him to be on this yacht."

Li Shanshan was stunned upon hearing this. So arrogant. Killing you is none of your business. I just want to kill you.

"That's settled then. If you say another word, you're fired."

If it weren't for the fact that he was satisfied with Mr. Wu's recent work performance, he would have replaced him immediately. And now he's trying to explain himself? He doesn't have the time for that. Besides, he should hurry up and get things done while the bosses are away. What if Mr. Chen or Mr. He comes by? That would be terrible!

Mr. Wu broke out in a cold sweat. He used to think that Mr. Cha was easy to talk to, but today he was so domineering. However, he knew that in front of such an important person, he was just an ant. Giving him the yacht project was a favor. If he didn't know how to appreciate it, he would lose the project.

He replied repeatedly, "Mr. Cha, received. I will do as you instructed. From today onwards, the supervisor will be this person."

"Li Shanshan," Wang Ping replied. This person was probably too nervous and hadn't even remembered Shanshan's name.

"Yes, yes, Li Shanshan, from today onwards she is the supervisor, and all service staff will report to her."

Cha Lan nodded in satisfaction. "You can assign her a deputy supervisor to assist her in her work. Just report her salary to me."

This was mainly because they were worried that Li Shanshan lacked experience and might not do her job well. It would be a minor issue if she caused trouble for General Manager Wu, but it would be a bigger problem if she affected General Manager Chen's experience. The solution was to assign her an experienced and capable assistant. Li Shanshan could simply focus on being a supervisor and enjoying the high-paying benefits. A few tens of thousands of yuan was beneath her, not even General Manager Chen himself.

Li Shanshan never expected that she would turn misfortune into blessing. Not only did she get a permanent position, but she was also promoted several levels to become the supervisor of the service department. Moreover, she was even given a working assistant. My God, is this a dream? It feels so unreal.

At this moment, Cha Lan whispered to Wang Ping, "President Wang, is this alright? Is there anything else you'd like to add?"

Seeing Li Shanshan staring at her with disbelief and admiration in her eyes, Wang Ping felt truly honored and nodded, "That's fine, thank you, President Cha."

Cha Lan waved his hand, signaling General Manager Wu to leave. General Manager Wu glanced at the distraught, grief-stricken former supervisor, then said to Li Shanshan, "Shanshan, would you like to come with me for a moment? I'll arrange the handover of your work."

Li Shanshan looked at her "backer" Wang Ping, since everything she had was given to her by Wang Ping, and she wanted to ask for her opinion.

Mimicking Chen Xiao's casual manner, she waved her hand and said, "Go ahead, work is important. We'll talk later."

Cha Lan greeted her, and he and Li Guoqiang got some red wine. The two went to the deck to find Zhao Hui and the others. Wang Ping also brought her red wine and went to her food area to enjoy her lunch. Today was so great! She felt like she had become a chivalrous heroine, rescuing a vulnerable woman who was alone, and that vulnerable woman was actually her classmate. Hmm, she felt very accomplished.

The day on the yacht came to a quick end. As He Qing had said, Chen Xiao stayed by Zhao Xiangjun's side the whole day. With her there, it was impossible for Chen Xiao to go out and have fun with other women.

The Zhao family relatives, who seemed to be having fun that day, were actually all planning what kind of demands they would make to Zhao Hui. Because Zhao Hui was prepared, he sat on the deck and helped them resolve and arrange things one by one.

From this day forward, all the Zhao family relatives who boarded the ship today will embark on a fast track to development and will soon become wealthy in their respective areas. In the future, if Zhao Hui wants to handle anything in his hometown, he will have even greater access to local influence.

At the start of the new month, Chen Xiao sat on the sofa in his office in Junxiao Lakeside CBD, while Zhang Ziqian reported on the performance of each business unit in the previous month.

Junxiao Business Management System:

Junxiaocheng: In April, the total sales of 17 Junxiaocheng stores reached 86 billion yuan, with rental income of 17 billion yuan;

Junwu Plaza: In May, sales reached 420 million yuan, and rental income reached 60 million yuan;
Junxiao Plaza: 23 stores, sales of 40 billion yuan, rental income of 6 million yuan.

In April, the entire Junxiao Commercial Management system achieved sales of 129.7 billion yuan and rental income of 23.5 billion yuan. Although the number of stores is not large at present, this rental income is considerable, making it probably the second largest commercial management company in the country, second only to Wansheng Group's monthly average of 65 billion yuan.

Moreover, Junxiao Commercial Management's rental income in March was 960 million yuan, a month-on-month increase of 144%, which is quite an astonishing rate of progress.

Moreover, the rental income of Wansheng Group is different from that of Junxiao Commercial Management. This is because most of Wansheng Group's projects are operated with light assets. Therefore, Wansheng Group has to pay a portion of the rental income to the property owners of the projects. Excluding these, Wansheng Group's average monthly rental income should not be much different from Junxiao Commercial Management's current level, which should be around 35 billion.

In terms of net profit, Wansheng Group lags far behind. After all, Wansheng Group has over 400 projects, while Junxiao Commercial Management only has 41. Wansheng Group also has more than ten times the number of employees as Junxiao Commercial Management, resulting in a significant difference in labor costs alone. Furthermore, Wansheng Group's growth is declining, while Junxiao Commercial Management is experiencing rapid expansion. Given this shift in momentum, it is expected that Junxiao Commercial Management's rental income will surpass that of Wansheng Group by the end of the year, and its net profit has already exceeded that of Wansheng Group.

Junxiao Hotel Group currently has 12 operating projects.
其中7星级酒店2座,6星级酒店9座,5星级酒店1座,高月新收购的6座6星级酒店有4家都是月底接手的,另外两家则是满月了。

统计收入的有7星级酒店2座(迪拜泛船酒店与希格尼尔酒店);6星级酒店5座,5星级酒店一座!
Room revenue: 16 billion yuan.

Catering income:

1. Buffet/Lunch/Dinner: Monthly revenue of 3.8 million yuan;

2. Bars/Afternoon Tea: Monthly revenue of 1.6 million yuan;

Other income:

1. Meetings/Banquets: Monthly revenue of 8 billion yuan;

2. Spa/Wellness: Monthly revenue of 2 million yuan;

3. Additional services: private butler, chauffeur service (Rolls-Royce), monthly income of 8000 million.

In total, monthly revenue from guest rooms is 16 billion + half-month revenue from non-guest rooms is 16.2 billion = 32.2 billion.

It surpassed Junxiao Commercial Management's revenue again. In March, Junxiao Hotel Management Group's revenue was 1 billion yuan, a month-on-month increase of 232%.

Zhang Ziqian couldn't help but praise him—President Gao is truly amazing.

Chen Xiao said smugly, "You think my cheering for her was all for nothing?" This made Zhang Ziqian blush. This pervert, harassing an innocent girl in broad daylight.

Ma Jing, who was watching the drama unfold, said, "Brother Chen Xiao, Ziqian has been working so hard lately, and her fuel consumption is really high. You should hurry up and give her some gas or a recharge."

Zhang Ziqian raised her hand and slapped her on the buttocks with a crisp sound, making Chen Xiao not want to listen to the report anymore. Fortunately, Zhang Ziqian continued her report, preventing him from taking a break. Junxiao Capital:

Currently, it holds controlling or minority stakes in more than 900 companies, with investments exceeding 500 billion yuan, and controls corporate assets exceeding 5500 billion yuan.

Compared to last month, the number of companies investing increased by 100, and the investment amount increased by 100 billion, which is a commendable achievement.

Junxing Auto:

The Junxing M7 continues to sell well, with 21000 units delivered in April, generating sales of 61 billion yuan. It currently has 60,000 large orders on hand, and 18,000 new orders were placed last month. The most urgent task is to ramp up production capacity, and this pressure will continue until July. The super smart factory (planned annual production capacity of 200,000 units) will not be able to deliver until July at the earliest.

Junxing Auto is currently operating at a loss because it only sells one model, resulting in significant amortization of various expenses. However, this situation is expected to improve with increased deliveries and the launch of two new models in the second half of the year. If all goes smoothly, it may turn a profit by the second quarter of next year. If so, it would be the fastest-growing new energy vehicle brand in China to achieve profitability. General Manager Chen and Xu Wu are quite satisfied with this achievement.

Junxiao Retail will not be reported for now, as it is still in the preparation stage. It will be at least three months before any results are achieved.

From the above, Junxiao Capital's profits can be temporarily set aside since they have not yet been realized, and Junxing Auto also needs to continue to invest.

Junxiao Commercial Management and Junxiao Hotel Management Group alone are already bringing in 5 billion yuan in cash flow for the group every month, far exceeding his expectations. Moreover, Junxiao Commercial Management only accelerated its growth sharply last month; the real boom is expected in the second half of the year. The same goes for Junxiao Hotel Management Group; Gao Yue only started her frenzied growth after receiving 50 billion yuan from the group for the hotel business in early April. Judging from her current pace, 50 billion yuan isn't enough for her, but that's alright; the group still has several hundred billion yuan sitting idle in its accounts. She should convert all of it into fixed assets.

Zhang Ziqian then reported on the large expenditures in May, including Junxing Motors' Super Factory No. 3. This was approved by Xu Wu last month to build another super intelligent factory for Junxing Motors. The Super Factory No. 2 is currently under construction and is scheduled to go into production in July. It is designed to have an annual production capacity of 200,000 vehicles. After the Super Factory No. 2 goes into production, the existing factories will also be transformed into super intelligent factories.

The planned funding was 70 billion, and Chen Xiao silently thought that his personal account was about to receive another large sum of money. Before he could speak, Ma Jing jumped up—"Wow, I'm going to be rich!"

She also gets a 0.5% bonus, and the other party also gets a share, so together she can get about 1000 million in bonuses. Ma Jing is definitely a small rich woman. Compared to her, Zhang Ziqian gets less.

"Ziqian, have you gotten your driver's license yet?"

Knowing that she would receive it in a few days, Chen Xiao thought about what kind of car he should give her as a gift. His thoughtful little assistant did the most work but received the least benefit. This wouldn't do. Unfair rewards and punishments were not Chen Xiao's style.

Zhang Ziqian then said, "President Chen, Hassan is increasing his purchasing needs. He said he has orders worth 2 million US dollars this month, and they will continue to increase every month thereafter."

"Blue Star Guardians have made a lot of money lately."

Putting aside Hassan's own business volume for the time being, he's making a fortune just by reselling equipment. Not only does he resell it at a higher price, but Chen Xiao also gives him an extra 50% bonus on the purchase price. What business in the world is more profitable than this?

His monthly orders are already $2 million, and they're expected to keep increasing. At this rate, many Middle Eastern countries don't even spend as much on military equipment in a year. Probably no other group or power in the world can afford to procure equipment as recklessly as he does.

"Alright, satisfy him. Plenty of food, plenty to eat." Hassan was his hired henchman, so naturally the stronger he was, the better. Judging from Hassan's achievements so far, he was very satisfied.

This money-making expert needs to replenish his US dollar account this year, so he opened his character panel, which he hadn't looked at in a long time:

Host: Chen Xiao (Devotion Value '98)

[Occupation: Dr. Feng Robot - Business Specialist]

Height: 178cm, Weight: 75kg

[Constitution: 118, Endurance: 133, Health: 114, Charm: 96]

Minimum living allowance LV11: 550 million/day

Dedication reward: Bonus x Dedication value

Skills: Insight (can see the return on investment of a project)
【Asset Status:

US dollar balance: 1.87 million

Companies: Junxiao Group (50%), Chanel (5.5%), Carmen Lakeside Hotel (2 units), Burj Al Arab (Dubai), Signor Hotel
Vehicles: Mercedes-Benz CLS 300 R7, Brabus G900

His dedication level has already reached 98. If he buys $2 million worth of equipment at once, he'll receive over $10 billion in system dedication bonuses. At this rate, let alone Gao Yue buying everything she wants domestically, she could easily buy everything she wants globally. This time when she comes back, we'll cheer her on and give her even faster support.

The data from Inno Group and Jiexun Sports are also impressive. Inno Group's revenue in April was 900 million yuan, with a net profit of 150 million yuan, resulting in a net profit margin of around 17%, which is astonishing. A net profit margin of 8-11% is considered very good in the normal retail industry.

This is because the projects managed by Jun Xiaoshang have contributed a lot of profits. Before Zhao Xiangjun invested in Yinuo Group, the company's net profit margin was only 5%. Now, not only has revenue increased significantly, but profit margin has also improved substantially. In addition, the brand value of "Yinuo" and "Samo" is also rising steadily.

In the second half of the year, or even from now on, the top priority for the Inno Group will be "Starry Night". It will be very difficult to build this high-end luxury brand, but if it is successful, the value of the Inno Group will increase more than tenfold.

Jiexun Sports was still in the planning stage this month, with many stores still under renovation and many more having just signed contracts but not yet moved in. Coupled with unpleasant negotiations with the NK brand, the two parties completely parted ways, resulting in Jiexun Sports not only failing to grow in April but also experiencing a significant decline in revenue and a loss.

Because all of its newly acquired stores under Junxiao Commercial Management have not yet opened for business. NK's store closures have resulted in a one-time amortization of many fixed renovation costs, but the situation is expected to improve significantly in May.

Especially in Junxiao City, Junwu Plaza, and many other Junxiao Plaza locations, there are plans to open high-end Adidas stores, which is expected to bring a significant portion of revenue and profit to Jiexun Sports.

For Chen Xiao, the main purpose of Jiexun Sports was to destroy Jincheng Sports Group. He had no interest in whether the group made money or how much money it made.

He was even more unaware that a company he had no interest in had recently attracted the attention of the entire Chinese business community.

Recently, Junxiaocheng underwent a brand adjustment, which has attracted the attention of brand owners. Such projects are naturally the focus of all retail brands. Once there is a brand adjustment, it means there is an opportunity. Moreover, the adjustment only applies to the second-floor light luxury brand area. What's most frightening is that Junxiaocheng in Shanghai, formerly known as Shanghai Huijin Plaza, a globally renowned business district, has also made adjustments. In a short time, the thresholds of Junxiaocheng's headquarters leasing center and the leasing departments of various projects were overwhelmed.

Numerous top international luxury brands and retail giants approached them for offers, but all were rejected. After repeated attempts failed, these brands wanted to find out which brand was superior and had secured such a prime position.

When they were told it was Adidas, these brands were stunned—Adidas? What the hell? It's just a sports brand. In terms of brand image, sales per square meter, and compatibility with the mall's existing brand mix, Adidas is nothing! Is it even on the same level as them? To be unable to compete with this brand is just too embarrassing. If Junxiaocheng hadn't been so strong, they would have been cursing. Had the leasing manager lost their mind? Why would they reject a major brand and choose some high-end Adidas store? Choosing Nike would have been better; after all, it's the world's number one sports brand.

Because this matter was so bizarre, it quickly spread within the industry. Not long after, something astonishing happened: the relocation of 17 projects nationwide was all allocated to Adidas. How could this be? Had Adidas's boss recognized Junxiao Business Management's boss as his godfather? How could they treat them so well? This was blatant cheating!

They all knew that Adidas operated on a distributor model in China, and they all inquired about which company's projects these were. They discovered that they were all projects of Jiexun Sports, and Jiexun Sports instantly became famous in China's business circles, gaining worldwide recognition overnight.

In the business world, clients and service providers interact every day. Recently, many clients have become aware of the impressive Jiexun Sports, which has greatly benefited Jiexun Sports' expansion beyond Junxiao Commercial Management.

Both the client and the service provider were wondering who this Jiexun Sports was and how they could be so powerful.

These people were just envious, merely gossiping and speculating, but Tom, the president of NK's China region, was deeply upset. He couldn't sit still upon hearing the news. Jun Xiaocheng had given Adidas the best locations on the second floor. NK had previously partnered with several less successful stores through Jun Xiaocheng, also for their top-tier locations, which were also on the second floor, albeit in less desirable spots. Adidas's original plan for this location wasn't for NK's original spot, but Jun Xiaocheng conveniently removed NK from the partnership when bringing in Adidas.

At this point, they were only in the planning stage; Adidas was still producing drawings and designs and hadn't yet moved in. But this time, Adidas' brand influence exploded. Many projects didn't know what was going on with Adidas, how they could suddenly have such a comprehensive cooperation with Junxiaocheng, and they thought Adidas' product line was about to undergo a major upgrade. In a short time, Adidas's status in the eyes of project sales teams across the country significantly improved.

The commotion outside was making Tom a little scared. If this news reached the global headquarters, he would probably have to report to his superiors. In so many key projects, NK had lost to Adidas. He had lost face completely.

Besides Junxiao City, Junxiao Plaza is similar, except that Junxiao City is a high-end luxury shopping mall, which has a greater and more far-reaching influence on brands. Junxiao Plaza, on the other hand, is more about market share and is far less impactful on TOM than Junxiao City.
