Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife
Chapter 331: You Are the Greatest Asset!
Whether it’s real estate, logistics and express delivery, or the mobile phone industry.
For Chen Xiao, a reincarnator, these are industries destined for rapid growth in the coming years.
However, in the real estate industry, many business people are already sensing the opportunity.
In fact, getting into the industry now might be considered too late.
Because others have already accumulated years of experience, which is a gap hard for newcomers to overcome.
Moreover, Chen Xiao could confidently say that the Dai Family might not be capable of entering this industry.
Unless he possesses a city’s cohesiveness within this sector, otherwise, the Dai Family alone isn’t enough to make an impact.
After all, the Guo Family is several times the size of the Dai Family, yet they are still treading carefully.
As for logistics and express delivery, Chen Xiao also supports it strongly.
The last industry, mobile phones, is what Chen Xiao is most interested in.
He looked at Dai Bingquan and asked, "So, which project does Miss Dai value the most?"
Dai Bingquan took out his phone and said with a wry smile, "I don’t really get it, aren’t phones just for making calls? Yet she says in the future, these things might replace computers, and companies overseas are already researching such projects."
"She also said that once mobile phones are improved, human life would undergo enormous changes!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao felt a wave of excitement.
He hadn’t expected to encounter someone with such a forward-looking vision in his life.
Thinking about this, Chen Xiao said, "Boss Dai, please bring Miss Dai down so we can talk specifically. I think she might not be used to staying upstairs, after all, she’s been abroad for many years and must be unfamiliar with the domestic ways."
"You’re right, she’s excellent in every aspect, except when it comes to interpersonal skills, it’s like she’s missing a piece and can’t be taught."
"She’ll learn by experience."
"Huh?"
"Just a figure of speech!"
Dai Bingquan smiled and called Dai Hong’Er down.
As Dai Bingquan described, although she wanted to appear polite, courteous, and generous.
The words came off awkward and clumsy.
Chen Xiao waved his hand, skipping the repeat greeting, and said, "Miss Dai, I’d like to talk with you about mobile phones."
Dai Hong’Er’s eyes lit up, "Mr. Chen, are you optimistic about this industry too?"
"Absolutely!"
"You are just like my grandfather said, a genius in business. I’ve specially studied your home appliance rural expansion plan, it truly... In my years abroad, I’ve never seen such a fantastic strategy, especially for our country, you’ve completely understood the domestic appliance prospects and our nation’s characteristics!"
Chen Xiao glanced at Dai Bingquan, "Boss Dai, you said your granddaughter didn’t understand interpersonal skills, but see... she spoke quite well!"
Dai Hong’Er looked puzzled.
She frowned at Dai Bingquan.
Dai Bingquan stood up and said, "I think it’s better for you young people to chat, I probably don’t have much common ground with you."
With that, Dai Bingquan turned and left.
Following this, Chen Xiao and Dai Hong’Er earnestly began discussing the mobile phone project.
During their conversation, Chen Xiao didn’t mention the extent of mobile phone evolution in the future; he just kept painting a picture of the initial generation of smartphones.
If all goes well, the world’s first generation of smartphones will emerge in a year, then shock the world!
Chen Xiao described what was in his memory, and Dai Hong’Er listened, captivated.
Finally, Chen Xiao couldn’t help but talk more about his vision for the future of mobile phones, which excited Dai Hong’Er to say:
"Mr. Chen, why would someone like you want to be a detective? Your emergence should be changing the lives of all humanity as a business prodigy!"
Is Chen Xiao a business prodigy?
To Guo Zhengchang, Guo Qing, Zong Yuanmao, Dai Bingquan, Luo Sifu, those involved in business, maybe he is.
But only Chen Xiao knows he’s not much, he can still surprise people for now, but what about ten years later?
It’s just like the protagonist in a certain reincarnation movie, when he’s finished writing and singing all the songs in his memory, he can only angrily hit someone and leave the music scene.
Thus, facing such praise, Chen Xiao sincerely explains, "I just have some quirky ideas, and such things can only come from occasional inspiration, they can’t last forever."
Dai Hong’Er thought for a moment, then said, "But judging from Mr. Chen’s achievements, it’s not mere inspiration, you have a solid foundation and a deep understanding of the national situation!"
"Let’s not talk about such meaningless things, let’s discuss practical topics, such as how to proceed with the project."
Dai Hong’Er’s eyes showed a glimmer as she said, "Originally, I just wanted to learn from you, but now I think... I want to involve you."
Chen Xiao smiled, "I can share my experience with you, but if you want me to invest money and participate, I don’t currently have much. You know, all my current earnings are from the home appliance rural expansion. And I have to invest eighty to ninety percent of these earnings into projects in Shencheng City, so I’m actually quite broke."
"Mr. Chen, don’t you know your strength lies not in numbers? You yourself, are the greatest asset!"
Chen Xiao squinted slightly.
Dai Bingquan actually misled him, making him think Dai Hong’Er wasn’t clever.
Look at what she said, how could anyone not be pleased by hearing this?
And yet, Dai Bingquan says she lacks interpersonal skills?
"Miss Dai, we agreed to speak frankly! With such praise, I truly don’t know how to respond."
"I speak from the heart!" Dai Hong’Er explained, and then continued:
"Speaking from a business perspective, could Mr. Chen draft a plan? I hope the plan covers a detailed future layout for the coming years and the positioning of the product itself, the more detailed, the more shares I’m willing to offer! As for investment, you don’t need to worry, our Dai Family will cover it all!"
Dai Hong’Er’s words sounded generous.
But Chen Xiao wasn’t optimistic: "I didn’t mean to discourage Miss Dai, but I feel obliged to remind you if we were to cooperate. In my view, if you were to follow my plan completely, not to mention your Dai Family is currently divided into two parts, even under Boss Dai’s full control, you couldn’t withstand it."
Dai Hong’Er frowned slightly, "You think our Dai Family isn’t substantial enough?"
"No, like you said, money is just a string of numbers, numbers are the coldest and most emotionless. Enough is enough, not enough is not enough, I think you should come to me after you’ve secured investment. In this industry, it’s not the weight but the size of the Dai Family, if the size is insufficient, I really worry it won’t last long and might end up as an engineered failure!"
"Furthermore, if you want to scale up, you must be willing to spend money; otherwise, you might enjoy short-term benefits, but eventually, you will be eliminated by the times!"
After finishing, Chen Xiao looked toward the staircase, smiling at Dai Hong’Er:
"Alright Miss Dai, my wife is here for me, we’ll talk next time!"
