Chapter 76 Meeting
Chapter 76 Meeting
"First of all, we need to be clear that our company's main task is to invest in various technologies related to the mining industry, such as mining, environmental protection, and supporting energy facilities, so as to build a moat for the group's industrial development. Therefore, even if we perform poorly in other areas, our company has still completed the tasks assigned by the group."
"Of course, this is just the minimum requirement the group has for us. We still need to achieve results. After a long period of research, I have decided to invest in the recently booming entertainment and internet industries, such as movies, TV series, and live streaming..."
Once inside the conference room, the previously amicable atmosphere suddenly turned tense and serious.
Contrary to his frail appearance, Chen Xi was also domineering and unyielding. He was quite respectful to Chen Jiang in public, but once inside the meeting room, he didn't even bother to ask Chen Jiang's opinion... Of course, it wasn't just Chen Jiang; everyone else was also left speechless, listening to Chen happy explain his own development.
However, Chen Jiang didn't have any objections to raise, because apart from not understanding the upstream and downstream technology investment in the mining industry, he was quite in agreement with Chen happy's suggestion to develop in the direction of light industry.
The economy has been growing significantly in the last two years, and movie box office revenue is rising day by day. If you can actually get involved and invest successfully, the returns should be quite substantial.
The corresponding difficulty is also high. After all, it's not the era of mine owners anymore, and the entertainment industry has long been divided up by various capital groups, making it difficult for R&F Group to get a share.
Therefore, Chen Jiang prefers to invest in light internet industries rather than movies.
It wasn't just because he enjoyed watching young women dance on live stream; Chen Jiang genuinely felt that the internet economy would be the mainstream in the future, and might even be the next big trend...
But he didn't need to say these words aloud; Chen Xi clearly already had a plan in mind and didn't even bother to ask for anyone else's opinion.
Chen Jiang sat obediently to the side, listening to Chen happy's story, nodding occasionally... Regardless of whether he understood it or not, at least the sound of turning pages was audible...
The meeting lasted for about an hour. After Chen happy finished explaining his ideas, the atmosphere immediately became more relaxed when it was the turn of the senior executives to share their thoughts.
Chen Jiang relaxed a bit, tugged at his collar, and subconsciously waved his hand behind him. A cup was instantly handed to him, and he took a sip of water.
Just as I was about to put it on the table, I suddenly came to my senses and held the water glass with the yellow cat ears in my hand up to my eyes:
"Huh? Whose water cup is this?"
"It's my water cup, Mr. Chen."
A gentle voice came from behind me.
Chen Jiang turned around and, sure enough, it was that green tea bitch... But the problem was, wasn't Xiao Ya always standing behind him? When did it become Bai Qiu?
"No... this... you just let me drink from your water cup like that?"
Chen Jiang was caught off guard... but he didn't dwell on it. He glanced around the conference room and asked Bai Qiu, puzzled:
"Where's Xiaoya?"
"Miss Jiang seems to have gone to get something for you, but she hasn't come back after a long time. I don't know where she went." Bai Qiu smiled slightly and then indicated that she didn't know.
"Where did they go?"
A question mark popped into Chen Jiang's head. He picked up his phone from the table and turned it on, only to find that Xiaoya had already sent him several messages. He opened the chat window and was immediately speechless:
"Okay, she knew I didn't sleep well last night, so she went downstairs to buy me coffee, but she forgot that you need a card to use the stairs, so she can't get back up..."
"Go down and meet her."
Bai Qiu was also a little surprised, and then covered her mouth with her fair hand and chuckled:
"Miss Jiang is really cute... but she's a bit careless..."
"Go pick her up quickly."
Chen Jiang glanced at her, unsure if this matter had anything to do with the other party, but too lazy to say anything, he simply waved his hand and told her to hurry up and do it.
Bai Qiu didn't move an inch and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I've already had someone swipe her card. She should be up here soon."
"Oh, that's fine then."
Chen Jiang nodded and didn't say anything more.
Just as he was about to turn his head and refocus his attention on the meeting, Bai Qiu took a step forward and asked softly, "President Chen, are you tired after sitting for so long? Would you like me to massage your shoulders?"
Chen Jiang was startled and quickly waved his hand:
"No, no... never mind."
"I've only been sitting for a short while, so I'm not tired at all, and the meeting is about to end."
Bai Qiu nodded slightly upon hearing this and gracefully took a step back: "Yes, Mr. Chen."
Seeing his expression, Chen Jiang shook his head inwardly, wondering why Xiao Ya hadn't come up yet, when he suddenly heard Chen happy call his name:
"Xiao Jiang."
"Huh?" Chen Jiang quickly looked up. "What's wrong, Brother happy?"
Chen happy chuckled:
"I mean, the meeting is almost over. Do you have anything you'd like to say?"
"Should I speak?" Chen Jiang waved his hands repeatedly, "Never mind, I think what Brother happy just said was beyond my comprehension, so I won't embarrass myself by offering my opinion..."
"Forget about making a fool of ourselves, we need to get opinions from everyone..."
That's what he said, but Chen happy's obviously happier expression was enough to tell him what he really thought.
As someone sent by the group to keep an eye on the company, and also a shareholder, Chen Jiang may not actually have power due to his personal abilities or other reasons, but if someone tries to sabotage or cause trouble, he can definitely make Chen Jiang vomit blood.
Regardless of the circumstances, Chen happy was determined to make a name for himself here, so he absolutely had to do his best to smooth over any potential mishaps that Chen Jiang might cause; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so heartless as to send his niece out.
He wanted to win Chen Jiang's support as much as possible. If he could get Chen Jiang's full support, he wouldn't have to worry about the group's constraints and could confidently make his mark.
"Alright then, if you don't want to talk about it, that's fine... But what follows is just some trivial company stuff. You can listen for a while if you want, and if you feel tired, you can go and take a break."
"I've already had your office tidied up. You can go with Xiaobai to take a look. If there's anything you're not satisfied with or want to add, just tell Xiaobai and she'll take care of it for you."
To be honest, after sitting here for almost two hours, Chen Jiang was starting to feel sleepy, except for the topics that initially piqued his interest and kept him alert.
Hearing Chen happy say this, he stood up as a matter of course:
"I am indeed a bit tired, so I'll go to my office first... You guys chat for a while."
Bai Qiu had already taken the initiative, pulling away the chair behind him to make room, then walked to the meeting room door and gestured for him to enter.
"Mr. Chen, this way, your office is inside..."
