Chapter 790 Disappeared 777

"Who did you get to invest?" Chen Xi pretended not to know.

"The CEOs of Lixiang Auto, JD.com, Dami, and several Internet companies and investment institutions also have ideas..." Li Weibin spoke softly, seeming a little unconfident.

"That doesn't seem like a lot of money, but I'm optimistic about you. I'll give you strong support in batteries when the time comes!"

"Hmm? Mr. Chen, don't you want to support me financially?"

"Oh, to be honest, I'm not interested in making cars. But I really hope you can start a car company so that we can really cooperate! You don't have to worry too much about funding. In addition to the businesses you mentioned, you can also seek cooperation with local governments."

"Mr. Chen, I don't quite understand what you mean." Li Weibin frowned.

"Learn from Huajing Electronics. They didn't have the money to set up a production line. Now they have cooperated with the Xinlu government and have set up a production line." Chen Xi pointed him in the right direction.

"Yes, Mr. Chen, you have more ideas." Li Weibin slapped his thigh.

Since the last meeting in Huajing, various places have offered many preferential policies for new energy vehicles. Among all provinces in the country, Xinlu has the largest preferential policies because the leaders want to build a construction base for new energy vehicles.

Soon, Li Weibin shouted anxiously again: "Um... Mr. Chen, why don't you invest a little too..."

"I'm working on too many projects right now, so I'd better forget it..."

After arguing with Li Weibin for a while, Chen Xi hung up the phone.

Oh my, why did this guy come to me to invest in this project in both lives?

You can make money by doing this, but the cycle is too long and the return is too low.

Chen Xi touched his chin and thought.

Many drawbacks have been exposed in the development of Future Auto in the past. As a representative of the new forces in domestic car manufacturing, its development process has shown significant capital-driven characteristics, but it has also exposed a series of deep-seated problems caused by excessive financing and complex shareholder structure.

Li Weibin relied too much on financing, which showed a phenomenon of drinking poison to quench thirst. In the middle and late stages, he basically had to raise large-scale funds every quarter, but he suffered huge losses every year. As a result, his cash flow was negative for a long time, and he could only use high costs to survive, just like a business owner borrowing usury to keep the factory alive.

On the road to financing, the number of shareholders increased and factional struggles became extremely fierce. For example, Penguin and Xinlu State-owned Assets had major differences on certain aspects.

Li Weibin's shares continued to decline and his strategy kept changing, causing some institutions and other investors to liquidate their positions and run away.

Local governments want production capacity indicators, while other institutional shareholders want to make money in the capital market. The contradiction between the two is becoming increasingly intense.

The price of future cars is too high, so many people can only wait and see. Chen Xi has always felt that the battery replacement model is the same as mobile phones. The old phones used to replace the battery directly, but later smart phones gave up this. Li Weibin's future car is completely the opposite. This model is used as a selling point and there is really no room for hype. It can only be said to be weird.

This is one of the reasons why Chen Xi chose not to invest in this project in this life.

"Where is Hu Jian?" Chen Xi asked after looking around.

"I'm going to deal with materials with Zhu Tong." Chen Fu continued to fiddle with the equipment.

"How are those guys from HKUST?"

"What else can we do? Your brother and I have trained them to be obedient."

Chen Fu pointed at the group of young people who were working diligently in the distance.

"Stop showing off here. You were just like them when you first came in." Chen Ran kicked his butt.

A few minutes later, Chen Xi sat on the sofa in Chen Caiyue's office.

"Your dad is going to have another baby."

"Oh, if there is, then there is!"

Hearing his mother's words, he acted somewhat indifferent.

"He wanted me to have another daughter before, but you said if I did, I would hang the child in a birdcage."

"Haha, how can you guarantee that it's a daughter? If not, won't he ask you to keep having more children?"

"I don't want to have so many children. I'm busy with company matters, so how can I have time to have children?"

"He just wants to find a woman who eats free meals at home to provide him with emotional value. But I feel that he will get tired of this kind of life in the future..."

"Oh why."

"Guess."

Chen Xi, who had the memories of his past life, naturally understood what would happen next.

"Xinde, I plan to let Chen Ran and Hu Jian take care of her in the future. Your grandmother is old and I want to take care of her more. She didn't want to live with me, saying that she didn't want to leave the retirement home. She couldn't sleep even after changing beds..." Chen Caiyue sighed.

Thinking that his grandmother was quite old, Chen Xi nodded.

A few months later, as Chen Xi said, the central bank banned institutions from trading Bitcoin, and a series of chain reactions caused Bitcoin to plummet by nearly 40%.

Looking at Dark's series of complaints on the computer, Chen Xi found it a little funny.

I asked you to sell it away, but you insisted on taking it.

During this period, Zhao Lingshan went to the island country to personally manage the fast food business there, and Chen Xi was also busy handling various domestic businesses.

Carsales Headquarters, Melbourne, Australia.

Norbert was furious at the woman in front of him: "Didn't you tell me that Russia would have a great turnaround in the future? Why is it suddenly being economically sanctioned by Europe now?"

Oksana sat on the sofa, propping her chin up with her hands, and replied helplessly: "I just expressed my personal opinion on Russia at that time, and I didn't ask you to invest heavily."

"You...you..." Norbert was so angry when he heard this.

After returning from Russia last time, Carsales began its global strategic deployment, and Russia naturally became Norbert's target.

I thought there would be good development, but unexpectedly something big happened there not long ago.

Under pressure from pro-EU demonstrations, the Ukrainian leader fled, and the Ukrainian parliament formed a pro-Western interim government. The Russian emperor refused to recognize the new Ukrainian government, saying it came to power through a coup. Russia then occupied Crimea, which was then annexed to Russia through a referendum, leading to economic sanctions from Western countries and an escalation of armed conflict in eastern Ukraine.

As a result, not only did the automobile market collapse, but the ruble also began to show signs of plummeting.

Coupled with restrictions on international payments and rising compliance costs, Carsales' stock price, which had finally recovered, began to plummet again.

"Boss, I'm just a model, not your analyst. If I had that vision and economic acumen, I wouldn't have to walk the runway or stand there every day, right?" Oksana smiled.

"But you are from Ukraine, you should be very familiar with the situation over there." Norbert still insisted.

"You are from the United Kingdom, and now you are staying in Australia. Let's not talk about how far Russia is from you. New Zealand is so close to Australia, but don't you understand the market there? And Australia..."

"That's enough. You actually dare to talk back to me now. Don't you know that your good life now is all given by me?"

Hearing this, Oksana secretly rolled her eyes.

The villa and luxury car she has now are all earned by herself. Norbert wants to support her but is unwilling to spend a lot of money, and yet he is still talking nonsense here.

"Boss, don't be angry. From what I know about Russia, their military is very powerful. European countries have always been afraid of this once behemoth. In addition, natural gas, oil and other resources are all imported from Russia. I think this crisis will be resolved soon..." Oksana suddenly smiled sweetly, and her voice was as soft as honey.

I have to say, this woman is quite good at coaxing people. Mainly because of her beautiful appearance and gentle tone, it makes men unable to get angry.

As expected, the anger on Norbert's face suddenly disappeared. He looked at the beauty in front of him, unconsciously loosened his tie and stood up.

Coming in front of Oksana, Norbert sat down beside her, and the sofa suddenly sank in. He raised his arm, hesitated in the air for a moment, and finally did not put his arm around her shoulder.

"My secretary is pregnant and is waiting to give birth. I plan to promote you to be my secretary. Would you consider it? This is better than being a model in the wind and sun every day." Norbert's eyes wandered, roaming on Oksana's snow-white thighs.

"Oh?" Oksana raised her delicately drawn eyebrows and slightly opened her red lips. "Boss, do you want me to experience the process of pregnancy? If I really get pregnant, have you chosen your next secretary?"

"How could that be? I usually take good safety measures. The baby in my secretary's belly is not mine at all..." As he spoke, Norbert felt something was wrong and quickly changed his words: "I was not satisfied with the previous secretary for a long time. Now she is pregnant, so I can replace her. I think you are very good at taking care of people and handling business affairs. Being a model is really a waste of your talent."

"How do you want me to take care of you? In bed or at my desk?"

"Haha, don't be so blunt. I'm a serious boss."

"Have you thought about the conditions I offered you before?"

"What conditions? A villa? You already have a house, why do you need this..." Norbert clearly remembered the price she offered last time in Moscow, but pretended to be confused.

"Boss, you are a married man, but you are still thinking about other women outside. I just want to buy a few more houses. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that."

"..."

Every time he faced this woman, Norbert was somewhat helpless.

Late at night, above the sea west of Tuao.

The sea fog gradually dissipated, revealing a few remaining stars in the sky. The huge medical ship was like an isolated steel island, slowly cruising on the dark sea.

At the edge of the deck, two sentries in black were standing guard.

"I'm going to have mushrooms growing on my butt from hanging around in this broken iron shell every day." The black mercenary Tyson rubbed his itchy buttocks with the butt of his gun, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. "God is my witness, when this mission is over, I'm going to find a chick and have some fun with her."

"Who said it wasn't? Let's let the water go first." The Chinese mercenary Ah Hua stood by the side of the boat with a cigarette in his mouth and his belt untied.

Seeing this, Tyson also took out his weapon, and the two stood side by side and fired at the sea.

"Hey, what are you looking at?" Tyson noticed that Ahua was tilting his head and peeking at him.

Ah Hua blew out a smoke ring and said with a wicked smile: "I heard that black people's penises are particularly strong."

"Of course! It's thick and long, like a water pipe. Your toothpick is like feeding water to a sparrow." Tyson shook his head proudly.

"It's pitch dark, how can anyone see clearly? I just see a black mass. There are so many girls on the boat, but I didn't see you hooking up with any of them. Are you a fool?" Ah Hua fought back unyieldingly.

"Bullshit! Did you see that? With this range, it's more than enough to shoot down a plane!" Tyson suddenly took a deep breath, and a column of water drew a perfect parabola.

Ah Hua was about to retort, but his expression suddenly changed: "Fuck!"

Tyson thought that the other party was shocked by his strength and was feeling proud when he suddenly noticed that Ahua was staring at the sky.

Looking up, I saw a few stars in the sky moving quickly. In the blink of an eye, they turned into dazzling navigation lights - a passenger plane was diving towards the medical ship!

"Boom!!!"

The shrill alarm instantly resounded throughout the ship. The two men rushed into the cabin, and the two veterans who were just joking around instantly entered combat mode.

The entire medical ship was in a state of emergency. Although the sleeping people didn't know what was happening, they got up and picked up their weapons reflexively.

In the innermost luxurious cabin, Jiang Hua was crawling naked from between two blonde beauties. The alarm gave him a startle and he almost fell off the bed. He didn't even bother to put on his pants, and rushed to the weapon cabinet in the corner, skillfully flicked the safety with his thumb, and put the gun against his shoulder.

With a loud bang, the door was kicked open. Jiang Hua's finger was on the trigger, but he stopped the moment he saw that it was Shan Xun. "Fuck you!" He cursed, sweat dripping down his temples. "What's going on? The Coast Guard raided? No, it was all planned long ago, what's going on?"

Shan Xun's face turned pale, his Adam's apple rolling up and down: "Heaven... there is a plane in the sky... heading towards us..."

"Are you fucking high?" Jiang Hua was stunned for a moment, then he heard the chaotic footsteps in the corridor. He spat, grabbed the gun and rushed out, "Go!"

The two women on the bed finally came to their senses. Without even bothering to look for clothes, they grabbed blankets to wrap around their bodies and ran out.

For a moment, the corridor was in chaos. Some were shirtless, some were wearing only underwear, and some did not even have time to put on shoes. All of them were running around like headless flies.

The next day, a major news was broadcasted in major media around the world: Flight MH37X lost contact with the ground during the flight! The flight took off from Kuala Lumpur International Airport in the early morning and was scheduled to arrive at Beijing Capital International Airport at dawn, but it suddenly disappeared from the air traffic control radar halfway. It is reported that there were 2XX people on the flight, including 2XX passengers and 1X crew members... We are working closely with relevant departments to fully launch search and rescue work...

Major news channels began to broadcast in a loop the last known flight trajectory, images of passengers' families crying at the airport, and various analyses and speculations by international aviation experts.

On social media, the topic of MH37X instantly ignited the world, with all kinds of speculations and prayers constantly flooding the screen.

Everyone wants to know the same question: Where did this Boeing 200 with more than 777 people on board go? (End of this chapter)
