Chapter 1783 Hello, my signal is not very good.
Seeing Lin Hong walk forward, Qiu Wu seemed to want to explain to his great-grandfather.
However, his grandfather clearly didn't take the bait and directly turned to call Jiang Cheng to get in the car.
After glancing at the disgruntled Qiu Wu, Jiang Cheng also went around to the back of the car and got in from the other side.
After starting the car, Chen Ping, who was driving in the front, glanced at the rearview mirror.
He then spoke in a low voice, "Master, they..."
Before he could finish speaking, his great-grandfather raised his hand, stopping him from saying anything more.
He cast his deep gaze once more toward the grove of evergreen pines and cypresses standing atop the mountain in the distance.
After a moment of silence, he spoke slowly in a deep, aged voice: "The wind is rising..."
Jiang Cheng roughly understood what his great-grandfather meant, but he remained silent, following his gaze as he looked out the window...
The next day, when Jiang Cheng woke up, he saw Jiang Churan with her back to him, looking at her phone with a heavy expression, and typing rapidly.
His expression was so serious that he didn't even notice when he woke up.
Jiang Cheng craned his neck to take a look.
She seemed to be commenting on something: "The smog in Kyoto has been very severe these past two days, so it's normal for supercars to have accidents."
After typing that sentence, she replied to a comment from a netizen below.
"This accident seems very unusual. Five supercars, and not a single person survived. Does it mean the car in front braked and then the car behind crashed into it? Why were there cars on the side as well? I'm very confused."
Jiang Churan replied to him: "Similar accidents happen a lot in China, so why does it seem strange when it happens to foreigners? Besides, I've heard they like to speed, so maybe they just weren't controlling their speed..."
Netizen 3: "Didn't you see the official report? These vehicles were speeding, and the truck driver was driving while fatigued, which caused this series of problems."
Jiang Churan replied to netizen three: "That's right, trust the country."
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng finally couldn't help but chuckle, and reached out with his right hand to hug her slender waist.
The news about it has been circulating online since yesterday.
Although there is some online commentary being controlled, the Silverstone team is entirely composed of foreigners.
The complete annihilation of the Chinese army caused quite a stir.
The internet, especially overseas, has already exploded with discussion.
Most of the criticism is directed at the strangeness of the event.
Regardless of the tone, the statement from China was only a few simple words: "We deeply regret this accident. Please stay safe when traveling."
At the same time, the Public Relations Department also promptly released footage of the Silverstone convoy speeding on the highway.
Therefore, most netizens are still inclined to believe that their speeding was combined with an accidental crash.
Seeing that Jiang Cheng was awake, Jiang Churan immediately turned her phone upside down and hid it in front of her chest, as if she didn't want Jiang Cheng to see these news reports.
"woke up?"
Jiang Cheng pretended not to see the contents of Jiang Churan's phone.
My hand rests directly on the side of the phone.
As soon as it was covered, Jiang Churan jumped up instantly.
"Wait, I haven't washed my face or brushed my teeth yet, I'll go first..."
Such a clumsy excuse was completely useless against Jiang Cheng.
Although beautiful women sometimes interrupt their bowel movements, most of the time no one would mind if a beautiful woman didn't brush her teeth after waking up.
An hour later, Jiang Churan stared at the ceiling with a dazed look in her eyes.
After a while, she saw Jiang Cheng turn over and look at her from the side.
Jiang Churan reacted abruptly, sitting up abruptly and grabbing her bathrobe to stand up.
But as soon as she made that movement, she hissed.
Seeing Jiang Churan pause and look at him with a mournful expression, Jiang Cheng touched his nose apologetically.
"Why are you so nervous? We newcomers shouldn't take such big steps. What if we accidentally hurt some delicate organs? Don't you think so?"
After saying that, Jiang Churan couldn't help but spit at Jiang Cheng.
"Us? I don't think the word 'us' suits you..."
If she weren't a newcomer, she would definitely have called Jiang Cheng shameless.
She was just too shy to ask Jiang Cheng, but she wasn't stupid.
Jiang Cheng's various moves were executed with great ease, which is completely unrelated to a newcomer.
However, since she met Jiang Cheng, she never thought that he would be a man who knew nothing or had no experience.
After all, the places he frequented and his identity couldn't possibly belong to an innocent young man.
To be honest, it would be a lie to say I don't care at all.
According to normal human psychology, the more capable and higher the status of the people around you, the more you will subconsciously want to win their hearts.
Even if she doesn't show jealousy on the surface, the care she feels for him will definitely be stronger than in an ordinary relationship.
But after that night, that concern was forced to fade somewhat.
She didn't know if Jiang Cheng was usually like this, or if it was just because this was their first time interacting and it was all new and exciting.
If it's just a little bit new, she can barely handle it.
However, if we have to endure such heavy firepower in the future, it wouldn't be a bad thing if someone could come and distribute some of the firepower.
Half an hour later, Jiang Cheng was forced to leave Renji Villa. Before he left, Jiang Churan pouted and urged him to go, saying, "I need to rest for the next couple of days. Yesterday at noon, the professor asked me if I had any health problems, saying my kicking technique wasn't correct... Hmph..."
Jiang Cheng didn't want to smile, but the thought of that expression made his lips curl up involuntarily.
The consequence of her smugness was that the girl didn't even give him a farewell kiss, and simply closed the door, indicating that she would rest for a while and then go back to dance practice.
Under duress, Jiang Cheng pretended to be forced to leave.
Why do we say it was half-hearted? Because Wang Yuyan was about to arrive at Kyoto Airport in a little over an hour.
So even if Jiang Churan didn't kick him out, Jiang Cheng would still...
The girl didn't tell me when she came back; she only mentioned it briefly a couple of days ago, saying that she had an exchange internship for a few hours.
Although he arranged for her to live in the embassy's family compound, which offered a high level of security, Jiang Cheng still assigned two security personnel to accompany her at all times for double protection.
Therefore, Jiang Cheng knew everything about this girl's every move.
In the evenings of April in Kyoto, the air is crisp and clear after the cherry blossoms have all fallen.
Jiang Cheng sat in the back seat of the Maybach, talking on the phone with Chen Xueer.
"President Jiang... This concludes the preliminary due diligence report on the rice ecosystem."
"Overall, YunDami's technology makes it the best investment. Although its market quality remains to be seen, its low price is a perfect fit for our hotel project."
She paused, then pulled up another set of data: "More importantly, it's about timing. YunDami has already launched its pre-IPO round of financing and plans to go public independently next year. If we enter now as a strategic investor, we can not only obtain considerable financial returns, but also establish the strongest equity bond between our hotel project and the rice ecosystem, which is much deeper than a simple procurement cooperation."
After he finished speaking, he heard Chen Xueer close her tablet on the other end of the phone.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Cheng asked, "What's President Lei's attitude?"
“Very open.” Chen Xueer smiled slightly. “We had a long phone call yesterday. He clearly stated that he welcomes strategic investors with industry synergy capabilities, and he sees our hotel project as a ‘high-value application scenario.’ Mr. Lei also proposed that we could jointly create a smart hotel industry solution, which can be exported to other high-end hotel brands in the future.”
“He’s playing a bigger game. He’s using our project to pave the way for his B2B business,” Jiang Cheng replied.
“Mutual benefit.” Chen Xueer succinctly summarized, “Our due diligence team estimates that if we invest in this round and exit after the IPO, the return on investment could very likely exceed 300%.”
"300%?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng suddenly chuckled.
As someone who has been reborn and possesses the financial insight gained from Zhu Yan.
You're telling me that investing in a company I know will fall below its IPO price, suffer a long-term slump, and face numerous business challenges after listing, can yield a 300% return?
Was this due diligence report based on data from a parallel universe?
However, this cannot be blamed on Chen Xueer; there was indeed a lot of demand for the rice before it was launched.
As the pillar of Xingchen Investment, Chen Xueer hasn't encountered any significant pitfalls in all this time.
But Lei Jun is, after all, a former internet celebrity.
To reiterate, although the product itself isn't great, the marketing is truly brilliant.
After coughing twice, Jiang Cheng said, "Xue'er, the report missed the most crucial variable: the valuation of rice itself is collapsing."
"avalanche?"
Jiang Cheng paused, giving Chen Xueer some time to process the situation.
My gaze swept across the scenery along the highway outside the window.
"The $2000 billion valuation is nothing but a pipe dream. The capital market isn't stupid. When a company relies on mobile phones for 7% of its revenue but promises that hardware profits will never exceed 5%, its story has already been rewritten. When it goes public in July, I bet it will break its IPO price on the first day. Do you believe me?"
Chen Xueer paused almost imperceptibly.
This time, Jiang Cheng didn't give her a chance to interrupt; his words progressed with surgical precision.
"If the valuation of rice isn't stable by the time it goes public, do you think their cloud rice ecosystem company will have a better chance of listing next year? In my opinion, the issue price will only be pushed to the bottom of the range. Mr. Lei wants to make quick money through 'listing and exiting'?" That's not a viable path.
Jiang Cheng's words made Chen Xueer pause for a moment.
As a subordinate, she didn't refute Jiang Cheng: "Then what's our reply to President Lei?..."
Jiang Cheng couldn't directly tell Chen Xueer that he was reborn and had a God's-eye view.
In addition, she is an extremely confident person when it comes to finance.
She usually puts a lot of effort into company management, so Jiang Cheng couldn't bear to ignore her.
He patiently continued to analyze the situation with her: "What he lacks most right now is case studies that can support the 'high-end intelligent scenario' label. When you go to talk to him, there are only two core points."
"You said..."
As soon as Chen Xueer finished speaking, Zhao Ling'er's voice suddenly interrupted.
"Ah, Sister Xue'er, why are you dressed so lightly? Were you waiting for me...?"
Chen Xue'er gave a playful scolding: "You little rascal, what nonsense are you talking about? I did some stretching during the conference call, so I'm a little sweaty... Don't make a sound, I'm on the phone with Chairman Jiang..."
As soon as Chen Xueer finished speaking, Jiang Cheng called out, "Hey, hey, what's going on? Why is the signal suddenly so bad..."
"Hello, Chairman Jiang, can you hear me?"
Before she could finish speaking, the call was cut off. Just as Chen Xueer was wondering whether she should call Jiang Cheng again, Jiang Cheng sent her a video.
Seeing Jiang Cheng's name on the screen, Chen Xue'er answered the call without thinking too much.
The video screen lit up, and the first thing that appeared was Chen Xueer's face, which was flushed slightly after exercise, and looked even more beautiful without makeup, with a few strands of hair slightly damp and sticking to her forehead.
She blinked and looked at Jiang Cheng on the screen: "Chairman Jiang? Was the signal lost just now?"
Looking at the face that was so close in the camera lens, Jiang Cheng's heart skipped a beat.
However, he remained expressionless, even slightly furrowing his brows, as if trying to discern the sounds.
"Huh? What did you say? My feed is a bit choppy, I can only see your face, and the sound is intermittent."
"I said, was the signal bad just now?" Chen Xue'er didn't suspect anything and subconsciously brought the phone closer.
Her entire face was almost pressed against the camera, her long eyelashes clearly visible. "Now? Can you hear me?"
Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes, seemingly intently "receiving" the signal, then shook his head: "It's still a bit... unstable. It must be signal interference from being too close? Try moving your phone further away?"
"Huh? Oh..." Although Chen Xueer felt the reason was a bit strange, she still obediently did as she was told, stretching out her arm and moving the phone camera away from her.
In this way, not only can you see her face in the picture, but you can also see her swan-like neck and a small part of her delicate collarbone.
"Can you see it now? Can you hear it now?" she asked.
Jiang Cheng's gaze swept quickly across the screen, but his face maintained the serious expression of a boss, even showing a hint of impatience in the technical discussion.
"Hmm... the picture is more stable now, but the sound is still a bit choppy. How about... you adjust your posture again? Maybe the receiving angle is wrong."
"Adjust your posture?" Chen Xueer was genuinely confused.
Holding the phone, I looked it over from left to right. "How...how do I adjust this? Is the signal bad on your end?"
“Tsk, you just… raise your hand a little higher, yes, a little higher, maybe the signal travels from top to bottom.” Jiang Cheng started making things up on the spot, but his tone was as confident as if he were directing a precise operation.
Although Chen Xueer was full of doubts, out of respect for her boss's "technical issues," she still raised her phone a little higher as instructed.
This posture forced her to tilt her head slightly back to look at the screen, and her body stretched out accordingly.
That's it.
The camera angle drops from a slightly higher position, capturing more of the scene in an instant.
As expected, Chen Xueer was only wearing a black spaghetti strap top, the soft fabric clinging to her shapely curves.
Because of the raised arm movement, the shoulder strap of the pajamas slipped slightly, revealing a smooth and rounded shoulder.
The scenery below the collarbone is faintly visible, and the skin after exercise has a healthy glow.
It explodes directly on the screen with an unconscious, breathtaking attraction.
Perhaps seeing her bra strap, she then pulled it up a little without any embarrassment.
Jiang Cheng could see everything clearly on the screen, and a triumphant smile flashed across his eyes.
But in order not to let the young girl see through his act, Jiang Cheng quickly composed himself.
"Hey, that's it! This is the right position! Okay, don't move! The signal seems to be stable now! Hmm, I can hear you clearly now."
Chen Xueer maintained the posture of holding her phone, feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
She quickly realized what was happening after seeing the deep cleavage in her skin.
However, even though she realized what was happening, for some reason she didn't intend to put her phone down.
Perhaps it was because Jiang Cheng's gaze wasn't fixed on her the whole time.
Instead, he kept looking out the window.
This action, however, stirred a faint thought within her.
It's like when you fall in love with a boy.
But this guy likes more than just you.
But you can't let him go.
So whenever you have the chance to interact with him, you can't help but want him to see your excellent or advantageous side.
