Cannon fodder whose lives are controlled strive to rewrite their destinies. 10. Seeking…
These words were really hurtful. Chen Xia grabbed the round-headed intelligent robot that came over to serve tea and water: "Yuanyuan, tell me how to spend the fifty billion as soon as possible?"
Chen Xia had been eyeing these adorable round-headed robots for a long time. Ling Yi, despite her busy schedule, still managed to purchase a batch of the highest quality ones. After modification and upgrades, they were used as robot assistants in the studio to serve tea and water and run errands.
The round and adorable creature gave Chen Xia a lot of advice, and even searched for information online and printed it out.
After careful selection, Chen Xia chose a courtyard house in Shichahai with an area of 2,000 square meters and a price of over 1.9 billion yuan.
Ling Yi was busy recruiting employees for her studio, so she left the matter of buying the courtyard house to professionals.
Chen Xia chose a high-end intermediary company called Li Mouhang, which had a long-standing partnership with a senior law firm that was involved in the entire transaction.
Law firms should conduct due diligence before a transaction, complete contract design and risk control during the transaction, and confirm ownership and prevent disputes after the transaction.
Although high intermediary and legal fees are required, professional lawyers can systematically reduce transaction uncertainty, from tracing property rights to ensuring cultural relic compliance, from contract customization to dispute prevention.
After the transaction was completed, Chen Xia entrusted them to purchase a semi-detached villa on Xueyuan Road in Haidian District for herself in Gangcheng. She bought both villas at once, and after combining them, they would become a detached villa.
The luxury villa on the hillside is priced at 800 million, while the Junting Building King is listed in Shanghai for 900 million, Sheshan Manor for 1 billion, Tangong Manor for 500 million, and a top-tier garden villa for 1.5 billion.
In the context of a sluggish real estate market, high-quality clients like Chen Xia, who buy houses in full with transactions amounting to tens of millions of dollars, are extremely rare.
The entire real estate agency went all out, using every available connection and resource to thoroughly investigate the property Chen Xia intended to purchase, leaving no stone unturned.
This is a huge transaction worth billions. If they were negligent in their preliminary investigation, their intermediary agency would have to pay exorbitant compensation.
Although the transaction process for these properties was very complicated, Chen Xia, the hands-off manager, only needed to pay the money and sign the contract.
While waiting for the house transaction to be completed, Chen Xia was not idle. She bought batches of gold jewelry, luxury brand clothes, shoes, bags, and famous cigarettes and wines.
Yuanyuan also suggested various luxury cars and sports cars, but Chen Xia didn't like sports cars. They might look cool and fast, but for Chen Xia, who rarely drove past 60 km/h, even the best sports car would turn into a slow-moving old car in her hands.
The speed is useless, the appearance is not appealing, and sitting in the car feels like sitting on the floor. Why should she force herself to buy it?
After test driving cars for several days, she bought a Maybach SUV. Upon successfully completing the task, the cashback system beeped: "Congratulations, host, you have completed the task of spending 10 billion RMB within a year. Rewards are being calculated, please wait."
"The host has exceeded the task of spending 10 billion within a year, and will be rewarded with a tenfold cashback. 120 billion has been transferred to the host's Blue Star Bank account. Please check it in time."
If the host completes the task ahead of schedule and exceeds expectations, the reward will be a box of women's watches (one hundred watches, each priced at over one million), a Grade A office building in Huangpu District, Shanghai, and a top-tier office building in Lujiazui.
"Now, please keep up the good work, host, and strive to spend 100 billion within five years. A generous reward will be given for completing the task ahead of schedule and exceeding the target."
Chen Xia's head was buzzing after hearing this. Spending 100 billion in five years? Was this going to turn her into a super spendthrift?
She still has over 100 billion in her bank account. The money she spends on each mission is provided separately by the system; this money can only be spent, not gifted or donated. The cashback is deposited into her bank account, which she can use as she pleases.
Money is just a string of numbers to her now. Most of the villas and estates she bought are empty. She used to live in Rose Garden when she was studying, but moved to the villa on Xueyuan Road after graduation.
Spending more money to buy a house would only leave it gathering dust and serve no other purpose. After much thought, Chen Xia realized she needed to find a way to pave the way for her animation studio.
She invested so much in making animated films, certainly not for her own enjoyment, but to bring them to the big screen and let more people see them.
However, getting a film approved, released, and scheduled for screening all require connections, which is precisely what she lacks.
Many people say that connections are money, and Chen Xia has no shortage of money these days. And as a Chinese citizen, isn't the most powerful connection her country has? Her task of spending 100 billion within five years will likely fall to the country.
But she was just a small-time geek and didn't know any high-ranking officials. Her biggest connection was her former teacher, Zhuang Wenqing, a big name in the computer field.
Every penny she receives from the cashback system is verifiable. In the system's settings, she has a great-uncle who immigrated abroad during a chaotic era.
My great-uncle was an extremely wealthy man who made countless investments throughout his life, each of which earned him a fortune. Having no children, he left all his assets and shares to Chen Xia upon his death.
This includes, but is not limited to, trillions of yuan in deposits at Bluestar Bank, and shares in 25 foreign and 5 domestic companies, totaling 30 conglomerates. The foreign conglomerates, in particular, are all among the world's top 100 companies.
All inheritance procedures are genuine, legal, and compliant; all procedures have been completed; and all taxes due have been paid in full.
Zhuang Wenqing was extremely disappointed in Chen Xia, his prized disciple who was talented but lacked ambition, and would nag her for a long time every time they met.
Chen Xia poured him a cup of tea: "Teacher, you must be thirsty after scolding for so long, right? Come, come, have some tea and take a break. I bought this good tea especially for you."
I also specially brought you two bottles of good wine. I know your wife is strict, so I brought you two bottles. Please enjoy them.
Old Master Zhuang knew his young apprentice was wealthy, so he didn't stand on ceremony with her. But when he opened the bag of wine, he immediately flew into a rage: "You spendthrift girl, what are you doing buying this flashy stuff? A bottle costs hundreds of thousands! What couldn't you do with that money?"
Chen Xia quickly called for a halt: "Stop, stop, stop, Lao Zhuang, don't you know me? I certainly won't pretend to be something I'm not. This wine may not be cheap, but it's just a drop in the ocean for me!"
"You can drink it without worry. If I weren't afraid of being chased by my teacher's wife with a feather duster, I could bring you ten cases."
Zhuang Wenqing rolled his eyes: "You don't even think before you start bragging. Do you think this is a cabbage, something you can just cut and fill a basket with? The reason this thing is so expensive is because it's so rare."
"It's ridiculously expensive. Don't buy it again. I can't stand the taste. Just thinking about having to take a sip makes my heart ache."
Chen Xia touched his nose and got down to business: "Teacher, I have something important to tell you this time. You used to always envy Qingdao University and USTC for having their own supercomputing centers, right? I'm planning to invest in building a supercomputing center for you. What do you think?"
Zhuang Wenqing gasped: "That thing costs at least a billion, plus the investment in building warehouses and other things. It would cost at least a dozen small billion. How much money have you made to be so arrogant?"
Chen Xia made the decision: "Okay, teacher, I'll donate 5 billion to our school, half of which will be used to build a supercomputing center for you. Let's settle this amicably. You can talk to the principal about this and give me an account number so I can have Blue Star Bank transfer the money."
"No, Xiaxia, let's talk properly. Don't make fun of the teacher all the time. That's fifty billion, not fifty thousand. Are you running a fever today? Why are you talking nonsense?"
"Hey, words are no proof. Let's talk facts. Lao Zhuang, give me your bank account number, and you'll soon know whether I'm telling the truth or not."
Zhuang Wenqing couldn't refuse Chen Xia, so he told her his salary card number. Chen Xia then transferred 100 million yuan to Zhuang Wenqing's bank account directly on his phone.
Looking at the bank's notification of the deposit, Zhuang Wenqing was stunned for a long time before suddenly wailing, "You brat, you've really ruined me! There's an extra 100 million yuan in my salary account without my knowledge. JW will definitely investigate me."
Chen Xia chuckled: "It's alright, Lao Zhuang. We'll let the principal explain to JW later. Let's hurry up and find the principal so he can be a witness and prove your innocence."
Zhuang Wenqing hurriedly pulled Chen Xia to the principal's office. The principal was incredibly excited when he learned about this. Fifty billion yuan! Although part of it was to build a supercomputing center for the computer science department, the supercomputing center wouldn't be usable only by the computer science department.
With the principal vouching for him, the 100 million yuan in Zhuang Wenqing's salary account didn't cause much of a stir. Chen Xia directly contacted Blue Star Bank's dedicated customer service (system) and instructed him to transfer 5 billion yuan to the school's corporate account.
Zhuang Wenqing panicked: "I still have 100 million here!"
"Just leave it for our department's research funding, you can decide what to do. President, could you please connect me with the leaders in the Navy? I'd like to donate some money to them."
Zhuang Wenqing tugged at Chen Xia: "You kid, even if you inherited your great-uncle's estate, how much money could you possibly have? You've already donated over 5 billion, you should keep some for yourself..."
"Of course. My great-uncle left me shares in many companies overseas, which generate income every year. I also invested in and built an animation studio. Don't worry, I definitely won't go hungry."
Through the principal's introduction, Chen Xia made contact with leaders in the Navy. The Navy leaders expressed their heartfelt gratitude for Chen Xia's generous donation and arranged a formal meeting.
During the meeting, Chen Xia expressed her support for national defense and donated 20 billion yuan for the research and development, upgrading, and improvement of the welfare of officers and soldiers.
Navy leaders highly praised Chen Xia's patriotism and generosity, and pledged to ensure that the funds were used where they were most needed.
Under the introduction of this leader, Chen Xiayu donated 20 billion yuan each to the Air Force and the Army.
Ling Yi suggested to Chen Xia: "Try a different approach. You don't necessarily have to donate money. You can buy supplies and donate them. The money spent on buying supplies can be counted towards your mission."
