Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Nuonuo, don’t lookback, I
really am your aunt… 1
Translator: 549690339
When Jiang Xu saw the financial report of Nuomimi Novel’s first year, he was shocked.
It wasn’t that the profits were low, rather, they exceeded his expectations.
In only four or five months online, the total profit had reached fifty-two million eight hundred thousand!
Jiang Xu carefully went through the entire financial report.
In fact, the main driver of profit growth was the novels Jiang Xu himself wrote or had others ghostwrite.
This, together, brought in over thirty million in revenue from subscriptions alone.
Additionally, this money didn’t need to be shared with the authors.
In this website, Fu Yanjie held a five percent stake.
An Nuonuo had invested twice, holding a one percent stake.
Jiang Xiaoyan held a ten percent stake.
Lin Nan held a five percent stake.
The total divided profits for all of them summed up to eleven million.
The remaining forty-one million, after paying forty-five percent in taxes, left Jiang Xu with more than twenty-two million and five hundred thousand.
By next year, the net profit probably likely passed a hundred million that Jiang Xu could take home himself.
The next step was to expand.
The current workspace might not be large enough.
Luckily, it was winter vacation, so Jiang Xu had plenty of time to deal with these matters.
Lin Nan had already managed the company’s profit shares.
It would be credited by tomorrow.
Jiang Xu left the report on the table.
Turning his head, he saw An Nuonuo in the kitchen, preparing tomorrow’s breakfast.
During the holidays, she still enjoyed cooking at home.
Jiang Xu quietly walked in.
He covered her eyes from behind and said, “Nuonuo, don’t look back. I’m really your aunt.”
An Nuonuo:
The young girl murmured, “Brother, I’m not stupid.”
Jiang Xu removed his hands from her eyes and chuckled, “You’re not stupid, you’re naive.”
An Nuonuo pouted, protesting Jiang Xu’s assessment.
“Oh, right,” An Nuonuo recalled something, “Sister Xiaoxian is coming to Jiang
City to play tomorrow, and she wants me to accompany her.”
“Hmm?” Jiang Xu found it odd, “Do you have contact with her?”
“Yes, Sister Xiaoxian is very nice and knows a lot. She’s helped me solve many study problems.”
“Alright then,” Jiang Xu nodded, “Remember to be safe and put in a good word for me when you’re with her.”
An Nuonuo looked at him, puzzled.
“What, are you jealous?” Jiang Xu pinched her cheek, “I plan to hire her and some people from her class as employees.
I plan to venture into the mineral water industry for my next start-up.”
Entry costs in this field aren’t high, but the net profit is quite high.
The only downside is that if you enter too late, it’s hard to rise.
Currently, the number of players in this field domestically was still far from saturated.
All it takes is a decent amount of initial capital combined with good marketing.
For example a certain brand’s, “We don’t manufacture water, we’re only nature’s delivery men,” or “Mountain spring water is a bit sweet,” etc.
The customers would remember it instantly.
Jiang Xu knew there was someone who had consistently been China’s richest man by selling mineral water.
“Do you have enough money? My card has over four million right now, you can have it all if you need it.”
Jiang Xu sighed again.
What a good girl.
She knew that he was going to enter another field, and her first reaction wasn’t discouragement, instead, she showed unhesitating support.
“No need, I currently have over a hundred million in cash flow, that’s enough.”
Jiang Xu didn’t plan to go big from the start.
He would start with small-scale expansion.
When time was right, he would then expand the scale.
He didn’t understand a lot of things about this industry, so when he found out Lin Xiaoxian’s major, he wanted her contact information.
He even specifically wanted to chat with her alone, asking about what was going on in her class.
After a while, both of them went back to their rooms to rest.
The first day of vacation, Jiang Xu took a rare opportunity to sleep in. He didn’t wake up until almost ten o’clock.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
An urgent knock sounded at the door.
Jiang Xu, who had just woken up, rubbed his eyes, “Nuonuo?”
From outside the door, An Nuonuo’s voice echoed, “Are you… dressed? Can I come in?”
There was a touch of urgency in her voice.
Assuming something was amiss, Jiang Xu hopped to his feet, “Come in. I’m in my pajamas.”
An Nuonuo walked into the room.
Jiang Xu saw that her face was flushed, and she was slightly out of breath.
Clearly, she had rushed down.
She held her phone screen up to Jiang Xu.
It was a text message.
Jiang Xu looked at it.
‘Transaction Notice 2009/1/19 09:09 Debit Card Transaction Alert
Deposit: 290040.00 yuan.
Dear customer:
Your Bank of China account ending in 0025 has a transaction
Transaction type: Interbank transfer
Account name: Nuomi Culture Communication Co., Ltd. 1569****0862
Transaction method: Counter transfer.’
“Why would such a large amount of money be transferred to my account?”
When An Nuonuo woke up and saw so much extra money in her account, her first reaction was fear.
So much so that she didn’t properly check which company transferred the money.
Jiang Xu purposefully frightened her, “This is a serious issue. Someone might have made a mistake.
Maybe they needed that money urgently. They must be panicking right now.”
“So… what should I do? I’ll go to the bank right now and return the money.”
The girl was so frantic, she was on the verge of tears.
“Such a large amount will be a hassle to handle at the bank counter,” Jiang Xu joked in a serious tone. “And it will take a long time.
By the time you transfer it, the situation could already be resolved.
I have a fast method for transfers, but I can’t just do it for free.”
“I can pay you,” An Nuonuo hastily replied.
Jiang Xu repressed a smile, “No need for money, we are already familiar with each other.
Here’s the deal. I was planning on snoozing a bit more, but now the bed’s cold.
Get in and warm the sheets for me, and I’ll teach you the method.”
“Ah…” An Nuonuo was taken aback.
The next second, her porcelain-white face flushed crimson.
She started stuttering, “Th… that’s not proper.”
Jiang Xu shrugged. “You go in and warm the bed. I won’t join you.
Nuonuo, don’t tell me you want the person who transferred the money to face trouble?”
“Okay, I’ll get in.”
An Nuonuo took a deep breath, slipped off her slippers, revealing a pair of ivory feet, and quickly snuggled into Jiang Xu’s bed.
She wrapped herself tightly in the blanket, with just her adorable face peeking out.
She seemed a bit embarrassed.
It was, after all, Jiang Xu’s bed… and she was lying on it…
Though Jiang Xu wasn’t in it, it still felt odd.
Five minutes later.
She whispered, “It should be warm enough. Please, help me with the transfer, brother.”
Jiang Xu’s eyes widened.
Nuonuo, your words have ambiguous implications!
He stopped teasing her.
Instead, he picked up the phone she had placed on the bedside table.
The screen was still unlocked.
He held the screen towards her, “Nuonuo, look closely. Which company made the transfer?”
An Nuonuo looked carefully and was dumbfounded.
A giant question mark formed in her little brain.
Then she realized that she had been duped by Jiang Xu… again.
Without a word, she resorted to her unique move..
