The Self-Cultivation of a Reborn Massage Therapist

Chapter 477 Ou Xiaokui's Explanation
"So... how difficult is this thing?" Zhao Xiaochui scratched his head, looking curious.

Upon hearing this, the young woman's professional smile faded slightly.

“In the words of experts,” she said softly, “it is not just a simple technological innovation, but a systemic revolution that requires overturning the existing energy structure, industrial system and way of life.”

After satisfying the curiosity of the viewers in the live stream and himself, Zhao Xiaochui suddenly changed the subject and asked an unrelated question:
"Does Chris Hemsworth know about all this?"

"Ah, this..." This question was clearly beyond the scope of the guide's knowledge. She subconsciously glanced at the phone screen that Zhao Xiaochui was holding up—in the picture, Ou Xiaokui was resting her chin on her hand, watching with great interest.

Seeing the girl's pleading look, Ou Xiaokui was a little stumped:

"Well..." She tilted her head and pondered for a moment before stammering, "He... probably knows, right? Anyway... the work briefings I sent to his email... um... are mostly unread."

"I wanted to report in person, but he... doesn't really encourage that. It's hard for his overtime requests to be approved, but he works twelve hours a day. By the time he's done, we've already gone home. If we secretly meet, we get criticized..."

Zhao Xiaochui: "..."

As soon as he said that, the entire live stream chat was instantly flooded with "hahaha" comments!
"Hahaha, as expected of my Thor! He's serious about spending money. Checking emails? Forget about it!"

"So true! Boss: Send me the money! Employee: I've sent the proposal to your email! Boss: What email address?"

So, Chris Hemsworth's investment logic is: make money blindly, and take a detached view of life and death?

Amidst the screen full of humorous comments, netizens' love and envy for this "hands-off" investor are palpable.

"Didn't anyone notice the key point?"

"That's right, that statement about not advocating overtime hit me right where it hurts."

"Does your company need someone to sweep the floors? I'll bring my own broom!"

"..."

Zhao Xiaochui, no, 'Guo Fulai', looking at Ou Xiaokui on the screen, suddenly thought of something and asked:
Is Chris Hemsworth really that rich?

As soon as the question was asked, the entire live stream room fell silent instantly, and the chat was as if it had been lagging.

Ou Xiaokui smiled at the camera: "My boss, Mr. Zhao Xiaochui, works twelve hours a day without fail, including meal and rest time, under normal business conditions."

She paused briefly:
“In those twelve hours, just,” she emphasized, “just two hours of service through the international booking channel, his income was roughly equivalent to the annual profit of a small to medium-sized A-share listed company.”

"In fact, often even more."

As soon as he finished speaking, the live stream fell into a brief silence, followed by a flood of comments that erupted like a volcano!

"Holy crap!!! Two hours is equivalent to a year's worth of revenue for a listed company?! This is a money-printing machine!"

"I used to criticize him for being a Westernizer who only accepted international orders... I apologize! I was narrow-minded!"

"This isn't a massage; this is clearly a national-level strategic foreign exchange earning project!"

"Hey haters, come out here and say something? Did you understand this sophisticated maneuver?"

"Got it, Thor is making foreign exchange here to use for infrastructure!"

"If this lasts for twelve hours..."

"Hey upstairs, what are you dreaming about? Chris Hemsworth still needs to live and do business in China."

"..."

The previous negative rumors about Zhao Xiaochui only serving international clients and neglecting the domestic market began to reverse at this moment. Seeing the shift in public opinion in the live broadcast room, Zhao Xiaochui couldn't help but frown and subtly glare at Ou Xiaokui on the screen.

Ou Xiaokui wasn't buying his act; instead, she gave him a meaningful smile.

Zhao Xiaochui glared at her and asked again, "As long as you operate normally, can Brother Hammer earn this much every day?"

The moment this question was raised, the live stream fell silent again.

Ou Xiaokui gently shook her head, revealing a sincere smile:

"I really can't guarantee that!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the live chat exploded with comments:

"I knew it! You can't print money every day!"

"As expected, even the big shots don't get their money from thin air!"

"That's more like it! If people could earn that much every day, the China Securities Regulatory Commission should hire Chris Hemsworth as an advisor!"

"That's real! This is what doing business is like—there are booming seasons and slow seasons!"

Amidst the lively barrage of comments, Ou Xiaokui suddenly chuckled softly and replied in a calm tone:
"Because under normal circumstances, this number will only increase."

As soon as he finished speaking, the chat in the entire live stream seemed to be paused, freezing instantly!
Immediately following, an even more intense storm of comments erupted:
"Holy crap!!! I was so naive!!!"

"Who just said it's the off-season? Come out and take your beating!"

"Is this some kind of money printing machine with automatic upgrade capabilities?!"

"Thor: I'm not targeting anyone in particular, I'm saying all the listed companies here are..."

"I thought it was a rich guy, but it turns out it's a mining vein?!"

"This reversal is killing me!"

Guo Fulai was browsing the comments when he picked up a question from a netizen and asked:

"As a private company that has not disclosed information, how can you guarantee the truthfulness of what you say?"

“Everyone should know the stock market guru, right?” Ou Xiaokui spread her hands without any pressure. “He wanted to auction off the price of one of his dinners in exchange for a reservation ticket, but we refused because his medical records did not meet the requirements.”

After saying that, Ou Xiaokui looked at the screen and said, "He is a public figure. Everyone can go and verify with him. I can tell you this: if it weren't for the special symptoms requirements of the Easy and Slow Travel program, my boss's income would be ten times higher, which wouldn't be an exaggeration!"

That's a bit of an exaggeration.

Guo Fulai stared blankly at the comments section, then suddenly asked, "If business was so good, why did you suddenly close down right after opening?"

Ou Xiaokui chuckled and shrugged, saying nothing.

Amidst the frantic speculation in the live chat, 'Guo Fulai' suddenly switched to Liu Li's screen: 'Miss Liu Li, there are rumors that you didn't have something going on with Hammer Bro...'

Guo Fulai's question was cut short by a series of flashing warnings from the background.

Guo Fulai didn't press further, but smiled meaningfully at the camera and said softly, "If we keep closing down and taking it easy, I believe it won't be Hammer Brother's interests that suffer!"
