Li Guizhi heard the commotion and went downstairs. When she heard the number, she could hardly believe it.
She hurried downstairs and asked, "How much?"
Xiao Jincheng smiled and repeated, "Sister-in-law, it's 120 million!"
"My goodness!" Li Guizhi exclaimed, taking a sip of water in shock. "How can these people be so rich!"
Zong Jia explained, "Mom, that's how society works. 80% of the wealth is in the hands of 20% of the people."
"In the many years since the opening up, many people have earned their first pot of gold; they simply had nowhere to spend it before."
Li Guizhi nodded and smiled, saying, "Jincheng, can you finally breathe a sigh of relief now?"
"Hahaha." Xiao Jincheng laughed loudly, "You're amazing! Sister-in-law, I won't disturb your rest any longer. I can finally go home and get a good night's sleep today!"
Zong Jia helped him to the back seat of the car and told Dai Guangbin to "drive carefully" before letting them leave.
Jiang Xiaoli chatted briefly with Li Guizhi, then said, "Okay, Mom, it's getting late, let's get some rest."
Li Guizhi nodded, "Yes, yes, get some rest!"
The next morning, the entire internet and major media outlets in Kyoto City rushed to report the sales figures of the "Kyoka Center" shopping mall.
News outlets in other places also reported on this story in the following days.
For a time, "Jinghua Center" shopping mall became synonymous with high-end luxury shopping malls.
In just five days, the "Jinghua Center" shopping mall proved its strength to the major high-end luxury brands that have moved into the mall, and also demonstrated the purchasing power of Chinese consumers.
Companies that had originally signed short-term contracts are now requesting renewals and store upgrades, and companies that Xiao Jincheng and his team had invited or visited are also sending inquiries...
On June 5th, Jiang Xiaoli went to the airport to see Zong Jiayu off, saying, "Remember to give Jiajia and Wenyan my gift, and also say hello to my grandparents for me."
Jiang Chengle instructed from the side, "Ayu, this whole box is for Xiaoyu, you must get it to her!"
Zong Jia and the others readily agreed, "Don't worry, I won't forget."
After saying that, he hugged Jiang Xiaoli in his arms, "Wife, I'll only be gone for a few days, wait for me to come back."
She smiled and nodded, "Okay, go ahead."
Zong Jia let go of her and said to Jiang Chengle, "Brother Le, take Xiaoli home safely."
Jiang Chengle rolled his eyes. "Enough with the nonsense, bye!"
On his way home, Jiang Chengle muttered, "What's going on this year? It's raining way too often, almost like Chongqing."
His words struck Jiang Xiaoli like a thunderbolt, and her face instantly turned deathly pale.
Jiang Chengle looked up when she didn't respond and was immediately startled.
He asked anxiously, "Xiao Li, why do you suddenly look so pale? Are you feeling unwell?"
He then said to Cao Jie, who was driving in front, "To the hospital!"
"No need!" Jiang Xiaoli waved her hand. "I don't need to go to the hospital. I just suddenly thought of something terrible."
She calmed down and drank some juice, which made her complexion look better.
Jiang Chengle frowned and asked, "Xiao Li, what terrible thing could make you so nervous? I know your mental capacity."
She pursed her lips and thought for a long time before saying, "Brother Le, I'm sorry, I can't say."
During dinner, Jiang Xiaoli remained silent and spoke very little, appearing preoccupied.
"Xiao Cao, what's wrong with her?"
Cao Jie was also a little confused. "On the way back, Chairman Jiang said he suddenly remembered something scary, and then suddenly said he wasn't going to the company and wanted to go home."
"Something terrible?" Li Guizhi twisted her hands together in worry. "What could possibly be wrong?"
Jiang Xiaoli leaned quietly against the headboard, her mind racing.
In the years since her rebirth, she has always felt that God has been kind to her, making up for the regrets of her previous life. Within her capabilities, she wants to do as many good deeds as possible.
Jiang Chengle's words suddenly reminded her of the major events of this year.
From mid-June to around September, the Yangtze River, Nenjiang River, Songhua River and other river basins will experience a major flood.
Twenty-nine provinces across the country will be affected by floods of varying degrees, and Hunan Province, the ancestral home of the Jiang family, is among the most severely affected.
She tried her best to recall every news story she had seen in her past life, and the more specific the news she recalled, the more panicked she became.
A week later, torrential rains fell on Poyang Lake and Dongting Lake, and this massive flood will officially be revealed to the world.
Jiang Xiaoli went to the study and searched for relevant information online for a while. She then called Cao Jie in and gave her instructions.
"Notify Li Anting to expedite the preparation of a batch of flood control supplies and deliver them to all branches, factories, and stores under our group, as well as those under '307,' located along the Yangtze, Nenjiang, and Songhua Rivers."
Cao Jie didn't react for a moment, "Chairman Jiang, what's going on?"
She frowned and said, "June and July are the flood season. This year there has been a lot of rain, so it's always good to be prepared in advance to prevent problems before they occur."
Cao Jie immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I'll communicate with President Li right now."
Jiang Xiaoli emphasized, "Tell her that the action must be quick, and also find professionals to draft a flood prevention emergency plan, distribute it to all employees for study, and include it in their performance evaluation."
After giving these instructions, she stood up and said, "You keep the word, I'm going to see my uncle."
Jiang Ruilin was delighted to see her. "Xiao Li, what brings you here today?"
She forced a smile. "Uncle, I have something I want to tell you."
Seeing this, Jiang Ruilin's smile faded, and he asked with concern, "What's wrong? Tell me."
Jiang Xiaoli tried her best to say the words she had just thought of.
"Uncle, you've been in China for several years now, so you should know that every summer is the flood season, and flood prevention and control are very important at this time..."
A professor I know at Kyoto University who studies hydrology and water resources predicts that, based on this year's rainfall, there is a very high probability that a severe flood disaster will occur soon.
Its scale and magnitude may be no less than that of the 1931 flood, and Hunan Province has always been one of the provinces most vulnerable to flooding.
I believe that now is an important time for the Jiang family to transfer their assets back to China. We should make some preparations in advance. On the one hand, the reconstruction of the family's ancestral hall and ancestral home is underway in Hunan Province.
On the other hand, offering assistance at this crucial moment can also leave a good impression on the authorities and help the Jiang family's future development in China..."
After rambling on for a long time, Jiang Xiaoli felt that she had used every possible reason.
Jiang Ruilin frowned after listening to her. "Xiao Li, if this professor's prediction comes true, such a large-scale flood will affect most parts of China. This is no joke."
