Taking advantage of the beauty being poor, fooling her into being my girlfriend

Chapter 757: Chapter 757 My Friend Wants to Ask…

“`

Jack Ma currently owns relatively few shares of Ali.

The majority of the shares are held by foreign investment institutions.

Initially, he did not have any other thoughts.

But after the last conversation with Jiang Xu, his thoughts suddenly expanded.

He wondered where he fell short compared to Jiang Xu?

His biggest disadvantage was that Jiang Xu had 100% control of Nuomi Group, the absolute decision-maker.

Whilst Jack Ma, although also the number one controlling person of Ali, had to have major company decisions agreed upon by many shareholders.

Moreover, most of the profits had to be distributed out.

So, after the last chat with Jiang Xu, Jack Ma had a bold idea.

He wanted Jiang Xu to widely proclaim that he was entering the e-commerce field.

To put on a stance like he was competing with Taobao for the top spot in e-commerce.

Then, Jack Ma would make some decisions within the company that would lead to losses.

To make the other shareholders withdraw their investment.

Lastly, he would ask Jiang Xu to invest.

Jack Ma’s private funds could purchase a portion of shares.

By that time, as long as he ensured his shares were above 30%, he would be over the moon.

After hearing Jack Ma’s plan, Jiang Xu exclaimed in admiration.

Very bold, but indeed quite feasible.

Jiang Xu was tempted.

Not for the massive profits, but for the bigger picture.

In his past life, the majority of this company’s profits ended up in the hands of foreign investment firms.

If he could accomplish this feat before Ali went public, it would mean the money earned domestically would always stay within the country.

Jiang Xu didn’t respond immediately.

His right hand fingers tapped lightly on the keyboard.

His left hand, however, continued to hang down, unnoticeably pinching An Nuonuo’s soft cheeks.

Her face was constantly changing shape in Jiang Xu’s hands.

An Nuonuo was now ‘angry but didn’t dare to speak out’.

Fuming.

Brother Xu was unbearably annoying.

He only knew how to pick on her.

Wuwuwu.

No, she couldn’t just keep being bullied.

She had to fight back.

So.

She bit down hard on one of Jiang Xu’s fingers.

“Hiss!”

In an instant, Jiang Xu drew a sharp breath, his eyes wide like copper bells.

“Mr. Jiang, what happened?” Jack Ma curiously asked.

“Nothing,” Jiang Xu shook his head, “I was just reconsidering President Ma’s strategy just now.”

“Suddenly I felt that President Ma is a true genius, brave and strategic, not a carphook in the pool, a shock to everyone, an outrage to humans and gods alike…cough cough, I misspoke.”

“Anyway, President Ma rocks!”

Jack Ma’s mouth curved upwards, revealing a dragon king’s smile.

He gestured dismissively, humbly saying it was nothing.

But the upward turn of his lips and his twitching eyebrows betrayed his true thoughts.

“Just?” Jiang Xu tilted his head, “President Ma, there’s something I don’t understand.”

Jack Ma: “Ah?”

Jiang Xu: “President Ma told me the whole plan so readily, aren’t you afraid I’ll tell the other shareholders of Ali?”

The smile on Jack Ma’s face instantly froze.

Damn it.

Would Jiang Xu really go that far?!

“Just kidding, just kidding,” Jiang Xu said with a chuckle, “Alright, I agree to this proposal.”

“When it’s successful, I want 70% of Ali’s shares.”

70%, which was within Jack Ma’s expectations.

He asked, “Then how much does Mr. Jiang plan to invest?”

“`

Jiang Xu held out five fingers, “Fifty billion.”

He didn’t have that much cash in the company or on his personal card right now.

But for Nuomi Group, as it stood today, getting a loan from the bank was a piece of cake.

However, there were still some details to be ironed out, and contracts that needed to be signed.

In business, as in business.

His relationship with Jack Ma hadn’t reached the point where they could make deals based on a verbal agreement alone.

After everything was settled, Jack Ma made his excuses and left.

Jiang Xu didn’t want to get up.

Because that would give the game away.

But he couldn’t just not get up either.

“What the fuck?!” When Jack Ma saw Jiang Xu actually starting to get up, he was immediately shocked.

Was this guy interested in him?

Seeing the look on his face, Jiang Xu knew what he was thinking.

He scowled, “Don’t get it wrong, I had some tonic drink last night, and I’m still feeling the aftereffects.”

“That,” Jack Ma blinked, “I have a friend who wants to know what kind of tonic drink it was.”

And then, afraid that Jiang Xu wouldn’t believe him, he added, “It really is for a friend of mine, I don’t need that kind of stuff.”

Jiang Xu barely held back his laughter, “Sure, I believe you, I’ll have someone send over the tonic drink later.”

While they were talking, Jiang Xu settled back down.

After seeing off Jack Ma, Jiang Xu hurried back to his office.

And he notified his subordinates.

Today, he wouldn’t see anyone, no matter who came by.

————

Time flew, and before long it was the end of May.

During this period, Jiang Xu had focused all his energy on Kuaiyin.

He released several new strategies afterward.

Which caused the number of users to surge once again.

‘Xiao Bai Video’ and ‘Xiao Lan Video’ were making a lot of noise.

In less than a month, they had already burned through tens of billions each.

There was no helping it; if you want to seize the market, you’ve got to burn cash like crazy.

But in the face of Kuaiyin, a potential behemoth, they were still no match.

Furthermore, all the decisions Kuaiyin had made during this time were credited to Ally.

Now, Ally’s reputation in the business circle was like thunder piercing the ear.

Many people were saying that the birth of Kuaiyin was all Ally’s idea.

“Knock, knock, knock.”

The door to the office was knocked on.

Jiang Xu responded.

The enchanting Ally walked in from outside.

She sat down across from Jiang Xu, swaying her curvaceous figure, “Boss, are those comments outside released by you?”

Everywhere they were saying that Ally’s ability was no less than Jiang Xu’s.

She should establish her own faction.

Her future achievements would definitely not be lower than Jiang Xu’s.

At first, when she heard this, she didn’t take it seriously.

But as more and more people mentioned it, and it got more and more exaggerated, she panicked.

It was like how in ancient times many would say the Prime Minister had the makings of an emperor.

Wouldn’t the emperor, having heard this, want to get rid of you by any means necessary?

But she also felt that the spread of this statement was too peculiar, suspecting it might be related to Jiang Xu.

Yet, she was not clear on what Jiang Xu’s purpose was.

“Yes, it was me who released the message,” Jiang Xu smiled, “Have those two big factories already approached you in secret?”

“You really are a prophet, boss,” Ally flattered smoothly, “They snuck around trying to contact me last week.”

She wouldn’t have engaged in such things abroad.

But in this country… right, when in Rome, do as the Romans do; she had learned a bit, at least.

Jiang Xu crossed his legs, “Tell me, what benefits did the two big factories promise you?”
