The Self-Cultivation of a Reborn Massage Therapist

Chapter 372 'Joke'

Zhao Xiaochui was delighted: "That's right! A massage parlor should be more focused, without all these random people hanging around, so we can concentrate on our work."

"Oh, right~" He suddenly remembered something, took out his phone and said, "I talked to Sister Pang and Sister Hua, and they told me to increase my investment as I please. Do we have enough money in our account? Should I transfer some more over?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yaqin revealed a strange smile: "Little Hammer, you might not believe it... In the process of acquiring Jin Dayang and integrating the industrial chain, we not only did not lose money, but we actually made a profit."

She quickly brought up the financial briefing on her tablet:
"First of all, I don't know how President Ling operated in the secondary market. He made a profit from the price difference before the delisting..."

"Wait a minute~" Zhao Xiaochui quickly asked, "Is it legal?"

Zhou Yaqin nodded with a strange expression: "I consulted the local securities regulatory bureau, and it's legal. However, according to some sources, this money is considered compensation for Jinling and Choulv."

"Secondly, there was asset optimization. After we took over, we divested several companies, including Jin Dayang, of their non-core, low-efficiency businesses and some idle assets, and sold them to the acquiring party, thus recovering a large amount of funds."

"In addition, there are various government subsidies for industrial upgrading and high-tech enterprise certification rewards, which are quite substantial."

She paused, then lowered her voice: "I just received news from Jinghai that the local government, seeing that the industrial park has completed its upgrade and renovation and has begun large-scale recruitment, said that in order to solve the 'difficulties' of enterprises, they have converted the two industrial land plots that belong to us..."

Zhao Xiaochui: "What do you mean by 'changed'?"

Zhou Yaqin: "It means changing it to mixed commercial and residential land, so that houses can be built and sold."

Zhao Xiaochui was stunned for a moment, and finally managed to stammer out:
"I have money, and I can't even spend it?"

“They can spend it all, and they’re spending it in large quantities right now.” Zhou Yaqin smiled and began to report on the progress of another business: “Regarding the essential oil company you’re interested in.”

She pulled up another report:
"First, there's the essential oil company in Yunnan. With the cooperation of Bailing Therapy, we have completed its restructuring. We have eliminated all redundant management and non-core departments, and at the same time, we have invested heavily in upgrading its distillation and extraction equipment. Now, it only has organic farms and advanced essential oil production lines."

"Regarding the establishment of the Sichuan-Chongqing essential oil branch in your hometown," Zhou Yaqin's tone was slightly strange, "a... well, a very assertive Sichuan-Chongqing woman, a veritable tyrant, contacted me. She revealed that, after 'coordination,' a planned highway was specially rerouted for your hometown."

Zhao Xiaochui: "..."

Zhou Yaqin paused, then added an even more frightening piece of news:
"In addition, the mountains in your hometown, whose altitude and climate are most suitable for growing high-end essential oil flowers such as tulips, have been contracted to us for a long term at a symbolic price of '1 yuan'."

"Thanks to the local... well... extremely high level of cooperation, and even the issuance of special administrative orders to support it, the establishment of the Sichuan-Chongqing Essential Oil Company has progressed faster than expected."

Zhao Xiaochui opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

That village cadre who rose through the ranks has transformed into a formidable female tyrant of Sichuan and Chongqing…

"So, does Easy Travel actually lack money?" Zhao Xiaochui didn't want to talk about that female tyrant with others, and returned to the main topic.

Zhou Yaqin couldn't help but laugh at his eagerness to spend money.
"Little Hammer, do you know how much you made today all by yourself?"

She paused, her smile fading, and gave a simple, blunt number:

"Not counting the home visits from other technicians and the support team, just by relying on your own two hands, if you complete all the appointments perfectly today, your personal service income for the day will easily exceed $200 million."

Seeing Zhao Xiaochui's momentarily stunned expression, her tone softened:
"We don't lack money now, what we lack are channels to efficiently convert money into production capacity and top-quality raw materials."

At this point, Zhou Yaqin seemed to have thought of something, looked at Zhao Xiaochui strangely, and reminded him:
“Little Hammer, there’s something you should know. Now Easy Slow Travel is a group company, but the international high-end track you led us onto has resulted in the entire company, from top to bottom, having no marketing department and no salesperson… “In reality, the only one truly selling the products is you.”

Zhao Xiaochui remained silent for a long time, processing the fact that this conglomerate was built on a single pillar. Finally, he slowly raised his head:
"Aunt Zhou, please reopen the official short video account for a relaxed and leisurely pace."

……

Zhao Xiaochui walked back to the quiet studio alone.

He picked up his phone, hovered his finger over the screen for a moment, and finally tapped on a contact whose name was "Mom".

"Mom, I have a very special coffee bean seed. I brought it back from Colombia."

“I remember that the altitude, climate and soil of my hometown are similar to some specialty coffee producing areas in Yunnan. The frost period is short in winter, there is plenty of sunshine and humidity, so it should be possible to grow coffee there.”

The identity of the Sichuan-Chongqing female tyrant suggests that she knows what Zhao Xiaochui experienced in South America, hence her quick and assertive response.

"understood."

"I will have professors and experts from the Agricultural University and the Tropical Crops Research Institute take the lead in forming a group, and allocate a piece of the best mountain land in your hometown to set up a closed experimental garden, and make it a key project for me to grow."

There were no unnecessary questions, no inquiries about the reasons, only the most direct and thorough execution.

This is the style of the "Sichuan-Chongqing female tyrannosaurus".

"Mom, I still have a lot of money." Zhao Xiaochui hesitated for a moment, then added.

“Keep it,” the other party replied crisply. “Back home, focus on developing the existing business, refine and solidify it, and then we can talk about other expansions.”

“Okay, Mom. Just let me know if you need anything,” Zhao Xiaochui replied obediently.

"Just take good care of yourself." The female tyrant's tone was unusually gentle as she replied, "By the way, I've had preliminary discussions with the leaders of both the province and the capital. If anyone approaches you under any pretext recently, don't make any promises lightly."

The Sichuan-Chongqing female tyrant paused for a moment, and then a message left Zhao Xiaochui dumbfounded.

"Next year... I plan to recommend you for the list of National People's Congress deputies."

next year?

Nationwide?

Me, Zhao Xiaochui?

I'll be 20 next year, have a junior high school education, and work as a massage therapist...

National People's Congress Representative?

'Mother'……

Are you kidding me?
