Unlimited Black Cards! A Mysterious and Wealthy Young Lady!
Chapter 126 Fruit Assassin!
A company with a market value of tens of billions was split up just like that. Such a move and boldness were beyond their understanding of what a "boss" should be. For a moment, it felt like an unreal dream.
Lin Chen broke the silence only after Jiang Wenxi's steady footsteps and Jiang Yan's tacit following in the corridor had completely faded away.
He swallowed hard, his voice barely audible, yet trembling with excitement: "Zhang Yuan, Kai Zi, did I hear that right? President Jiang just said... he's going to give us a company worth 10 billion?"
The rough texture of the paper was clearly discernible to my fingertips, yet the sense of unreality lingered in my heart.
Li Kai nodded vigorously, his eyes still somewhat dazed. He reached out and patted the documents on the table: "You heard me right. I just went through the contract terms three times while President Jiang was talking. The equity division, company valuation, and business registration change procedures are all written clearly, without any ambiguity."
He leaned back in the soft hospital chair, let out a long sigh, his tone full of emotion and relief.
"What incredible luck we've struck! To find such a great boss? Ten billion! That's not just a hundred dollars or a million dollars, given away like that. This amount is enough for us to develop dozens of games and still not earn. I think even if we work diligently in the tech field for our entire lives, we might not even get close to that number."
Zhang Yuan picked up the warm water Jiang Yan had left on the table, took a sip to suppress the turmoil in his heart, and lightly tapped the smooth tabletop with his fingertips. His tone carried a hint of rational clarity: "Then why did you join in the refusal just now? When you were pushing the documents away, you seemed more resolute than anyone else."
"Refusing is one thing; whether we can accept it with a clear conscience is another!"
Li Kai immediately sat up straight and retorted, a helpless yet honest look on his face, "How can we just accept such a large sum of money from a company? Putting aside whether we're even qualified for this huge reward, let's just talk about company management—do you really think three tech geeks like us who only know code, game logic, and user experience can manage a tech company worth tens of billions?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen and Zhang Yuan both fell silent.
Li Kai was telling the truth. The three of them had been deeply involved in game development for many years and could roam freely in the world of code, accurately capturing user experience needs. However, they were completely clueless about business matters such as company operations, market development, team management, and financial risk control. They were complete novices.
Lin Chen frowned, stroking the document in his hand, and slowly said, "Kai Zi is right. That company can achieve a market value of tens of billions, so it must have a mature and complete operating system, stable customer resources, and a professional management team. The three of us suddenly parachuted in to be the bosses, not understanding industry rules or management skills. I'm afraid that in less than six months, we'll mess up such a good business. At that time, we will not only fail to live up to President Jiang's good intentions, but also gain a reputation of being 'incompetent'."
"Even if our game meets the requirements and we get company shares, we'll still need to ask President Jiang for help with the arrangements."
After a moment's thought, Zhang Yuan added with certainty, "It would be best if President Jiang recommended an experienced and top-notch professional manager to serve as CEO and be responsible for the company's overall operations. The three of us can just focus on our technical roles, be the core of the company's technology, concentrate on game development and technological innovation, and do our best in our field. This is the best way to live up to President Jiang's trust."
"Yes, yes, that's the way to do it!" Lin Chen and Li Kai echoed in unison, their hesitation and worries instantly vanishing.
They exchanged a glance and saw recognition and relief in each other's eyes—everyone has their own expertise, and instead of forcing themselves to challenge areas they are not good at, they should stick to their strengths and shine on familiar tracks. This is the most responsible attitude towards Jiang Wenxi's generous reward.
"Alright, stop thinking that far ahead and focus on the present."
Li Kai turned to look at the corner of the wall, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he gestured to the two of them.
"Don't let the fruit basket that General Manager Jiang sent go bad, or it would be a waste of his good intentions."
The three then noticed that there were three identical high-end fruit baskets neatly arranged in the corner of the ward, not the "one fruit basket for the three of them" they had initially thought.
Jiang Wenxi considered even such details meticulously, taking care of the three people's dignity while also showing them great concern, which warmed their hearts and increased their gratitude towards the boss.
Each person picked up a fruit basket. The fruit baskets were exquisitely hand-woven bamboo baskets, covered with a transparent dust cover, tied with a gilded ribbon at the neckline, and adorned with small pearl decorations at the corners, exuding a luxurious style.
The moment the dust cover was opened, a sweet aroma mixed with the scents of various rare fruits wafted out and instantly filled the entire ward.
The fruit inside was dazzling, mostly varieties that the three of them had never seen before—there were bright red berries that looked like hearts, with a delicate sheen on their skin.
The green fruit has fine golden veins on its skin and feels firm to the touch.
There are also round fruits that are pure white, plump, and have a faint milky aroma.
There were even a few tropical fruits with hard shells and strange spiral patterns. Each one was carefully selected, plump and fresh, and looked quite valuable.
"What kind of fruit is this? I've lived for over twenty years and have never seen it before."
Lin Chen picked up the heart-shaped berry, examining it closely with a puzzled expression. He usually ate common fruits like apples, bananas, and oranges; he had never seen such a novel variety before, let alone tasted it, or even at the fruit market.
Li Kai scoffed, pulled out his phone, and waved it: "Are you stupid? Can't you search online?"
As he spoke, he took a picture of the green fruit with golden veins in his fruit basket, opened the image recognition function of the shopping app, and quickly swiped the screen with his fingertips.
"Holy crap!" Li Kai couldn't help but exclaim after just a few seconds, his eyes widening and his voice rising several decibels before he quickly lowered it again.
"This little thing costs six hundred yuan a piece? What kind of magical fruit is this? Is it made of gold?"
Lin Chen and Zhang Yuan were intrigued by his reaction and quickly took out their phones to take pictures of the fruit in their hands to check.
The price that popped up on the screen made both of them gasp in shock.
"My goodness, this is called 'Roselle Berry,' a rare variety imported from South America. It costs 380 yuan per pound, and this one weighs at least two ounces. Just this one costs almost 80 yuan!"
Lin Chen stared at the introduction on his phone screen, his tone full of disbelief.
Zhang Yuan was looking up the snow-white, round fruit, his face also filled with shock: "This is the 'Danxue Strawberry,' a rare variety imported from abroad. It's not comparable to ordinary strawberries. One strawberry costs two hundred and twenty yuan, and the yield is extremely low. Even if you have money, you might not be able to buy it."
The three of them held their phones, taking turns listing the fruit prices, and the more they looked, the more alarmed they became.
