Chapter 705: Chapter 705: A Complete Loss

“I want to talk to you,” Yikali said with a sorrowful expression.

Jiang Xu had wanted to refuse.

But An Nuonuo gently shook his arm.

Jiang Xu changed his mind, “Fine, you have three minutes.”

“I was wrong,” Yikali said with a bitter smile. “And I’ve also lost, utterly defeated.”

Jiang Xu, with a cold face, said nothing.

He now had not a single good feeling for this woman.

If it weren’t for the timely success of the 14-nanometer chip,

providing Jiang Xu a powerful trump card,

he would now be facing a loss of tens or even hundreds of billions.

Hence, after all the years of endeavor, more than 90% would have been lost.

There is a saying: blocking one’s money is like killing one’s parents.

It is an incredibly vile act.

Giving her three minutes was solely out of consideration for An Nuonuo’s feelings.

“Honestly,” Yikali sighed, “you are the most outstanding man I have ever met in every aspect.

Even… if you had been born into a family like mine, then…”

“Stop.” Jiang Xu frowned, not wanting to engage in such a sensitive topic, “If there’s nothing else, let’s leave it at that.”

“Hold on,” Yikali said, biting her lip. “I’ve lost, and there’s nothing more to say.

The money I invested earlier, you don’t need to return it.

Also, if you have any business in the future in Dahe Country,

as long as I am able, I will definitely do my utmost.”

Then, she looked towards An Nuonuo.

Without a word, just bowed at ninety degrees.

After pausing for a few seconds, she straightened up and walked away.

“She… is kind of pitiable,” An Nuonuo said, then felt Jiang Xu’s disapproving gaze.

Immediately, she stuck out her tongue, “Sorry, my mistake.”

Jiang Xu, with a stern face, said, “I am very angry right now.”

An Nuonuo shrank her neck and said, “Then I… I’ll stay at Aunt’s place tonight.”

As she was about to run,

Jiang Xu grabbed the collar of her shirt from behind, “Thinking of running? It’s too late, tonight I will show you what ‘luring the snake from its hole’ means.”

An Nuonuo: “…”

The news that Jiang Xu’s chip factory had developed a 14-nanometer chip spread across the globe the next day.

The world was astounded!

But more so, people were incredulous!

No one could believe that Jiang Xu and Dragon Country had developed the latest model of the chip before the top international tech companies.

However, a few tech companies sent people to personally investigate the news.

If it were true, it would be a heavy blow to many international tech giants.

Jiang Xu didn’t pay much attention to the variable situation of the international tech companies.

He had been very busy these days.

Because New Year’s was approaching.

With only a week left, there was suddenly much to do.

The personnel arrangements before and after the holidays and the distribution of bonuses to employees all required Jiang Xu’s personal confirmation.

An Nuonuo also came to the company to help, even pausing her live broadcasts.

“Knock, knock, knock.”

The door to Jiang Xu’s office was knocked open.

Ally entered from outside.

She placed a document in front of Jiang Xu, “Boss, this is the group’s financial report for the entire year.”

Jiang Xu immediately picked it up to review.

One standard to judge a company’s potential,

is to see if its profit this year exceeds that of the previous year.

And this year, Nuomi Group’s performance was particularly impressive.

After reading, Jiang Xu asked Ally, “Are you sure there’s no mistake?”

“No,” Ally shook her head. “I’ve confirmed all the data at least ten times.”

“Hahaha, very good, extremely good!” Jiang Xu laughed heartily.

This year, Nuomi Group’s growth has been explosive!

Firstly, regarding entertainment.

The total revenue from films, pleasant music, novel websites, and live streaming was one hundred and sixty billion.

The net profit was fifty-five billion!

Then there’s the gaming sector.

Although the number of games the group has compared to other major game companies is only about one percent.

But each game is a masterpiece, a hen that lays golden eggs continuously.

The total revenue for this sector was ninety-seven billion, with a net profit of twelve and a half billion!

Then there are mobile phones (including built-in software), chips, screens, memory, etc.

The total revenue was three hundred billion.

The net profit was just over forty billion.

Finally, e-commerce.

This segment was much less.

The total revenue was ten billion, with a net profit of only over twenty million.

This was because the early investments had been written off.

The last items are the various shops and rents around the country, which together accounted for over five hundred million.

The group’s total revenue was five hundred and sixty-seven billion.

The net profit totaled a staggering one hundred and eight billion!

Even after taxes, it was eighty billion!

Compared to last year, this was a significant increase.

This year’s main growth driver was actually still entertainment.

Particularly with the help of the “School beauty” trend, Jiang Xu made a substantial profit.

Since the group has no shareholders, Jiang Xu can freely distribute the post-tax eighty billion.

And next year, as the 14nm chips are rolled out, the group’s main growth driver will shift from entertainment to the technology sector.

Eventually leading the group through a splendid transformation.

Jiang Xu was in a great mood.

The future potential of Nuomi Group is unimaginable.

Ally then brought another document for Jiang Xu to sign.

The document was thick.

This was this year’s annual bonus.

Jiang Xu examined it carefully.

Some employees had exceptionally large annual bonuses.

The first and second names listed were, notably, Ally and Avi.

Their bonuses were one and a half billion and one and two-tenths billion, respectively.

Note: Annual bonuses are also included in the company’s cost expenditures and are not within the range of net profit.

The third-place was Chu Youwei with eighty million.

Those whose annual bonuses exceeded a million each had specific reasons, performance, etc., noted.

No need to discuss the performance of Ally and Avi.

Without these two sisters, the group’s earnings would drop by at least fifteen percent.

And Jiang Xu wouldn’t have it so easy either.

So definitely, the money would not be begrudged.

As for why Chu Youwei also received such a high year-end bonus.

It was because since she had joined Nuomi Group, she had been diligent and made many contributions.

If it weren’t for her short time with the company, she would definitely have been the top bonus earner this year.

After Jiang Xu saw there were no issues, he signed the document.

He said to Ally, “Let Finance distribute the annual bonuses to everyone before they clock out.”

The group was starting their holiday today.

Only a small portion of employees would stay behind.

Those staying here for the new year would be earning four times their salary plus a ten thousand yuan new year bonus.

Many employees were competing to stay and work overtime.

“Alright, I’ll make the arrangements, then I’ll be heading out, boss.”

After Ally left, Jiang Xu also planned to leave.

But just at that moment, his phone began to vibrate rapidly.
