High School Belle Fell in Love with Me

Chapter 528 - 235: The Organization’s Orders (Part 2)

Jiang Banxia sat down and said, "Mom, don’t you feel there’s something special about this place?"

"What’s special about it?"

"It’s very comfortable here. Whether it’s the service or the available activities, you can spend an entire day here. There’s even an internet café on the fourth floor and an indoor basketball court."

"So what? It’s just a small county town. Not many people are willing to come. All those projects are free; what benefits could there be apart from losing money?"

"Who cares about losing money? We’re doing something special."

"What are you doing?"

"This supermarket can accommodate ten thousand employees."

"Huh?"

Dou Ying fell into deep thought.

After a while, the dishes were ready, and the two started eating.

The cooking here was definitely better than Dou Ying’s home-cooked meals, both in taste and presentation.

The processing fee was also cheap, totaling only thirty yuan, with some small dishes included for free.

They didn’t talk much while eating; Jiang Banxia might be less courteous in front of Li Yang, but she’s still very obedient in front of her parents.

She focused on eating.

About an hour later, they finished eating, and Jiang Banxia finally spoke, "Actually, Green Water Heaven and Earth used the mall model. But unlike big malls, all the projects at Green Water Heaven and Earth are self-operated. The advantage of self-operation is better control over quality and service. The downside is a higher cost, with daily operational expenses nearing three million. That’s with only a little over a thousand employees for now..."

Dou Ying: "That means more than a billion in operational costs a year? Looking at those price tags, generally speaking, prices increased by 5% to 10%. Even if we assume everything is priced up by 10%, we’d need to sell 11 billion worth of goods a year just to break even. Does our small county have that spending power?"

Jiang Banxia said, "No, but people who come here will be happy, right? Happiness is enough. He never pursues profit in what he does; if profit was the goal, he could have kept trading stocks. Why bother building cars and investing in real estate? He has too many projects he wants to invest in, and what kind of projects does he invest in?"

Dou Ying remained silent, and Jiang Banxia continued like a treasure trove, "Take Extreme Shadow Cars, for instance. The manufacturers supplying Extreme Shadow have at least four hundred or so, with over ten thousand related parts. He never sought opportunities to press others for lower prices; instead, he voluntarily marked up the parts prices, with the only requirement being strict quality control and that the suppliers provide better products for the next stage.

I have seen the relevant agreements. They state that as long as the products are good, Extreme Shadow will place orders and cover all research and development costs. Now, Extreme Shadow Cars has spent nearly ten billion just starting out, and he plans to invest at least another forty or fifty billion to support domestic supply chains.

We’re the world’s leading industrial nation; we can produce high-quality products. The issue is that even when we do, due to weak branding, they’re not recognized. It’s better to earn from mid to low-end products quietly. Now Li Yang has given them a chance to make money while doing high-end..."

Dou Ying: "..."

Isn’t he a fool?

Is this something an individual can do?

How come those billions aren’t considered money? How many dollars do you have, Li Yang, to toss around like this?

"This is what the nation should do, what does it have to do with a small fry like you?"

Dou Ying couldn’t help but say.

Though it sounded passionate, that feeling burst only for a moment.

After calming down, she realized she couldn’t actually do it.

Jiang Banxia said, "When doing things, they must consider the impact, can’t favor one over another, and their efficiency isn’t as high as ours. Plus, if they announce any policy, there’ll surely be backlash. Just a little venture into a high-end industry on our part, and there’s already domestic suppression. Foreign countries know we’re seeking wealth and are just out to bleed us dry."

"What are you trying to say? I’m over forty, past the age of getting fired up; I don’t resonate with the ideas of you young people."

Jiang Banxia earnestly stated, "This is the dream Li Yang and I share. We want to make things happen."

Dou Ying frowned and said, "You can go on and do it, can’t you? You brought Wanliu Capital back from such a state; what can’t you do?"

She works in a securities company, so she knows better than anyone about Wanliu Capital’s situation.

Why isn’t she worried? Because... she’s not afraid!

At worst, Wanliu Capital goes bankrupt; even if Jiang Banxia has no money, the family can support her.

Though Jiang Banxia earns a lot, apart from gifts for herself, she hasn’t spent a penny of that at home.

Jiang Banxia said, "Mom, how much confidence exactly do you have in me? Is that something I can solve? The fact that Wanliu Capital managed to survive this crisis and even generated a floating profit of over a hundred billion is all thanks to Li Yang. He met with Jiang Baichuan once, and the next day, domestic financial institutions came over to take over Wanliu Capital’s assets. I know nothing; my mind goes blank when I see Jiang Baichuan."

"How did he manage that?"

"I guess he negotiated some conditions. He didn’t tell me the specifics, and there’s a lot he doesn’t want me to know."

"Xiaxia, you don’t feel living with a boyfriend who keeps everything hidden from you is bad? You never know what he’s thinking; he recklessly does things without considering your feelings."

"I feel great. With him, I can cause trouble freely because he always finds a way to clean up. With billions in investment at stake, I always thought I was doomed, but he resolved it so effortlessly."
