The Self-Cultivation of a Reborn Massage Therapist

Chapter 211 Market Value

“This isn’t about purchase limits,” Zhao Xiaochui explained unconsciously, staring at the number. “After ten bottles of essential oil are used, the breathing memory that our technicians have created for the client will disappear, and the customized essential oil will become just ordinary essential oil, with no effect.”

Ou Xiaokui suddenly realized.

"So, this is a pre-sale?" Zhao Xiaochui asked blankly, realizing what was happening.

Ou Xiaokui shook her head: "Cash on delivery."

"Nine...nine..." Zhao Xiaochui stammered, his voice filled with disbelief, "More than ninety million RMB has arrived?"

Ou Xiaokui turned to the next page of the data and pointed to the figures: "This is the result of male VIPs comparing their 'morning erections' on social media. The customer service department has confirmed that our technicians and essential oils not only help them restore their virility but also have a significant effect on delaying ejaculation. So, they alone contribute more than half of the sales revenue."

She added, "However, some of the payments are considered semi-prepayment because they are paid according to the course of treatment."

At this point, Ou Xiaokui silently calculated in her mind: "Around mid to late August, the entire prepayment service can be completed with ease and slow travel."

So, this really is money that ends up in your pocket!

Zhao Xiaochui didn't know what to think.

“Boss, it’s imperative to separate the online store.” Ou Xiaokui said firmly as she turned to the next page of the document, which contained several data charts.

"First, from a technical perspective, the current membership system primarily handles service reservations and consumption records. It is not designed for large-scale product sales. Forcibly integrating e-commerce functions would lead to decreased system efficiency and a poor user experience..."

"stop!"

Zhao Xiaochui rubbed his temples, muttering absentmindedly to himself:

"I just wanted to be a masseur."

“Boss,” Ou Xiaokui said unmoved, “the major shareholder has instructed you that your role is that of a ‘master masseuse’.”

Zhao Xiaochui glared at her fiercely and asked irritably:

Is 80 million enough?

He dislikes e-commerce, so he's only willing to use half a month's worth of essential oil sales revenue.

"More than enough." Seeing his expression, Ou Xiaokui couldn't help but smile. "Boss, it's just to separate it out so that those fans won't bother our member purchasing agents anymore. Those planned health and wellness products are still under development."

Zhao Xiaochui nodded and reluctantly signed his name on the document: "Remove the customized essential oils from the online store. Don't scare ordinary consumers."

"Boss, what you said was a bit discriminatory."

Zhao Xiaochui sighed. If he didn't 'discriminate,' the discovery of a product worth nearly 50,000 yuan by the general public might cause a huge uproar.

He glanced at his watch: "Time to get to work. Is there anything else?"

"There are no more urgent matters, but we may not be able to meet your request for domestic alternatives to the essential oil company's equipment."

Ou Xiaokui quickly found the documents and handed them to Zhao Xiaochui: "Take a look when you have time."

…………

Zhao Xiaochui didn't have time to look.

He returned to the second-floor studio before the agreed time.

Jiang Ying has left, and the studio has been renovated by the hardworking staff.

Seeing that he still had some time, he was just about to sit down and catch his breath when the guests arrived.

Yu Xiaoning.

Since the service was free, Zhao Xiaochui did not get up to greet him.

Yu Xiaoning, unfazed, walked straight to sit opposite Zhao Xiaochui, and, seeing the undisguised exhaustion on his face, asked with concern:
"Judging from your complexion, are there many children doing eye exercises?"

Zhao Xiaochui sighed and rubbed his temples: "We can handle even more kids, it's just that there are too many miscellaneous tasks in the store."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaoning smiled knowingly, "Miscellaneous tasks? Heh, Xiao Chui, your miscellaneous tasks will only increase, not decrease." Zhao Xiao Chui was taken aback, looked up at her, not understanding the meaning behind her words.

Yu Xiaoning didn't keep him in suspense, her expression turning serious: "Do you remember that little gadget you gave me before...?"

Zhao Xiaochui remembered what Ma Jinfang had pulled out of that lump of runny poop and nodded: "I remember, so what?"

“I had someone study it carefully, and it’s not an ordinary memory chip.” Yu Xiaoning’s voice was tinged with barely suppressed excitement. “There’s a piece of code inside… it’s incredibly, incredibly powerful.”

"Wait~"

Zhao Xiaochui looked at her warily and blurted out, "I misremembered. I didn't give you anything."

Yu Xiaoning shook her head: "Let me finish speaking first. You know what I do."

Many problems in chip design, such as placement and routing, and timing optimization, are NP-hard problems. This means that as the scale increases, the computational complexity grows exponentially, and currently, no known polynomial-time algorithm can find the optimal solution.

"Therefore, what China lacks is a key to creation, a revolutionary theoretical framework, or a completely new set of mathematical tools..."

Yu Xiaoning stopped because Zhao Xiaochui's eyes were starting to feel dizzy.

"I've already started poaching talent from Huada Jiutian and Galen Electronics, discarding those companies' complex and bloated management teams, and relying on this code, we'll focus all our efforts on building a world-class, comprehensively leading EDA tool!"

Zhao Xiaochui shook his head, ignoring Yu Xiaoning's inflammatory words, and came up behind Yu Xiaoning:
"Look at your dark circles? Don't think that just because I'm here to protect you, you can take care of your health. Don't forget, you have traumatic injury accompanied by organic lesions."

After speaking, Zhao Xiaochui thought he had made Yu Xiaoning forget what had just happened, and he reached out his hand to massage her head with satisfaction.

"Little hammer..."

Yu Xiaoning closed her eyes comfortably and sighed softly:
"You can't avoid it; this was specifically instructed by the 'big boss.'"

"We must not discourage patriots."

"If you have no other ideas, you can entrust 15% of the new company's shares to my trust fund for management."

Zhao Xiaochui stopped what he was doing.

How much bloodshed will this act of completely breaking the foreign monopoly unleash in the future?
He really didn't want to leave his hometown again and go to a very, very far place to cancel his household registration.

He opened his mouth with difficulty: "Can I donate?"

“No, Little Hammer,” Yu Xiaoning shook his head, signaling Zhao Xiaochui to continue, “The country’s strategy for talent cultivation will undergo a major transformation, and this incident will serve as a model for those genius science students.”

"No matter how special you are, in this matter, you are a tool, and so am I."

"A 15% stake, just to have you cooperate silently, is enough to show the country's sincerity."

After hearing these seemingly sincere (threatening) words, Zhao Xiaochui finally gave up resisting.

"Um...where did you say you were recruiting people from?"

“Huada Jiutian and Galen Electronics.” Yu Xiaoning shook his head again in dissatisfaction, gesturing for Zhao Xiaochui to give him a massage, while answering the question.

Zhao Xiaochui began to move absentmindedly:

"That... software, if... its development is successful."

"What I mean is, will those two companies still exist?"

Yu Xiaoning closed her eyes contentedly after being pressed down by Zhao Xiaochui.
"Of course not. In recent years, some incompetent people in both companies have delayed the progress a lot, so I only recruit those who actually do the work."

Zhao Xiaochui didn't care about this:
"What I mean is... take Huada Jiutian for example, what is its market value?"

"..."

Yu Xiaoning understood Zhao Xiaochui's meaning, and she sighed softly:
"Its market value usually fluctuates around 300 billion to 400 billion RMB."
