Chapter 740: Thank You, System!
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Check-in successful. Congratulations, host, you have obtained a major package of shares in the dairy industry and one skill!”
Upon hearing the mechanical sound from the system, Zhou Chao felt as speechless as when someone silently opened the door upon his arrival home!
“System, don’t tell me that the shares in this package are from Yili or Dream Cattle!” He muttered to himself, knowing the system wouldn’t respond.
Shaking his head, he stopped dwelling on it. After opening the package, he naturally knew what was inside. Especially the skill, Zhou Chao was quite looking forward to it. After checking in for so long, the skills he received were quite limited.
With a bit of anticipation, Zhou Chao opened the package!
“Congratulations, host, you have obtained a thirty percent stake in the top three dairy industries in the world. Skill: Maternity Matron!”
Hearing the voice in his mind, Zhou Chao wondered if he misheard. He even tapped his head, thinking he might be hallucinating. Maternity Matron? What kind of skill was that? It sounded like some kind of mythical ability!
Looking at the shimmering Maternity Matron skill in the system space, Zhou Chao’s mouth twitched a few times. In the end, he reluctantly said, “Accept the skill!”
In an instant, his mind flashed with a lot of information about maternity matrons, especially their abilities. At first, he resisted a bit, but the more he understood, the more he felt this skill was quite useful.
Zhou Chao had always thought maternity matrons were just for taking care of children, cooking, and doing laundry. Who knew there was so much more to it, like psychological counseling, lactation support, and postpartum recovery? There was actually a lot to learn.
After acquiring this skill, Zhou Chao could proudly say he was the most formidable maternity matron in the world.
“But what am I going to do with this skill? Am I supposed to take care of a child myself? Well, maybe I can give Ah Li a professional lactation massage when the time comes!” Zhou Chao’s mouth curved into a mischievous smile at the thought.
“Although it’s a bit of a mixed bag, it still has some usefulness. When my baby is born, I can consider taking care of them myself!”
Returning his thoughts, Zhou Chao looked at the shares. He took out the share agreements from the system space and glanced over them briefly. He realized that he was quite familiar with two of the dairy companies mentioned, Nestlé and Danone. They were both well-known.
Although he himself rarely bought Nestlé products, their advertisements were everywhere, making them familiar. As for Danone, Zhou Chao remembered them from the slogan, “Bring back the rhythm anytime, anywhere.”
As for the other dairy company, Lanteleyes, he had no impression at all. Maybe he didn’t know much about this aspect!
He checked the market values of the three companies online and found that they were quite strong. Nestlé, the strongest, had a market value of about $340 billion, and even Danone, the weakest, had a market value of around $80 billion. Zhou Chao roughly estimated that his shares in these three companies were worth about $200 billion!
For Zhou Chao, money had long lost its meaning. It was just a string of numbers to him. So far, he wasn’t even sure how many companies he owned or how much they were worth.
“Should I organize the industries under my name? Hmm, I should consider it carefully. It’s not urgent though. I’ll take care of it after I finish my tasks and return to Jingdu.”
“Oh, it’s already eleven o’clock in the blink of an eye. Time flies!”
Looking at the time on his phone, Zhou Chao shook his head. He didn’t expect that several hours had passed just by checking the items obtained from the check-in.
Stretching lazily, he got up and walked towards the bedroom.
…..
The next day, 10 o’clock in the morning, Yili headquarters in Hohhot, Chairman’s office!
“Director Li, President Ling Chen from Modu Dragonfly Group said he has something to discuss with you. He will call again in ten minutes!”
Upon hearing this, Chen Li frowned slightly. He looked at his beautiful secretary in front of him, somewhat puzzled, and asked, “President Ling from Dragonfly Group? You mean that rising hundred-billion-dollar company from Modu in recent years?”
The secretary comprehended her boss’s unspoken question and promptly responded, “Yes, Director Li, I verified it as well. The call is indeed authentic!”
Perplexed by this information, Director Li also found himself puzzled. His company appeared to have no prior dealings with this individual. He had heard about Dragonfly Group from a business acquaintance before, mentioning its remarkable growth. In just two years, it had ascended to industry prominence, boasting considerable background and strength. Rumor had it that it had even secured a spot in the nation’s top ten private enterprises, though this was all hearsay!
“Why would they suddenly reach out to me? Could it be for some sort of collaboration?” Director Li pondered for a moment.
Observing Chen Li’s hesitation, the secretary gently interjected, “Director Li?”
Regaining his focus, Chen Li nodded subtly. “I see. Just patch him through when he calls. You can leave now.”
“Understood, Director Li!” The secretary discerned a hint of insight on Chen Li’s countenance, but such matters were beyond her purview. With that, she departed from the chairman’s office.
Resting his head on his hands, Chen Li delved into deep thought.
Ten minutes swiftly elapsed, and the ringing of the landline brought Chen Li back to the present. Hastily, he lifted the phone from his desk.
