Jiang Xiaoli stayed at home for more than forty days to recover after giving birth, under the supervision of Li Guizhi.
After her persistent communication, she was finally granted permission to return to a normal life and go back to work.
On the way to the "Jiang's Building", the traffic was shrouded in a flurry of snowflakes.
Jiang Xiaoli sighed, "The last time I went to the company was in the summer; it felt like several months had passed."
Zong Jia held her hand and said, "It's okay, this place is always your home turf."
She chuckled and said, "Of course."
Upon arriving at her destination, she declined Zong Jia's offer to accompany her upstairs, waved to him while carrying her bag, and entered the building with Cao Jie.
After several months, the "Jiang's Building" is now filled with the group's headquarters and various subsidiaries.
She felt refreshed when she saw the display board in the lobby on the first floor.
She pointed to the floor numbers on the sign and said, "These are all the empires I conquered!"
Cao Jie pressed the elevator button and said with a smile, "Chairman Jiang, this is at most half or even a third of your empire."
Jiang Xiaoli smiled slightly, "That's true."
Returning to her top-floor office, she felt as if she had never left.
He leaned back in his comfortable executive chair and rocked back and forth. "Yeah, that's the feeling!"
She listened with her eyes closed as Cao Jie reported on the major events that had occurred in the group recently, occasionally asking a question or two.
Cao Jie is now a qualified assistant. She can handle most problems with ease, and she will quickly jot down the few she doesn't understand for later processing.
In less than an hour, Jiang Xiaoli had a clear understanding of the group's current situation.
She nodded and instructed, "Call General Manager Li over here."
Li Anting arrived quickly. "Chairwoman Jiang, you've recovered so well. You don't look like you just had a baby at all."
Jiang Xiaoli chuckled softly, "It's probably because of the good postpartum meals. An Ting, you've had a tough time these past few days."
Li Anting smiled and said, "Chairman Jiang, I'm overjoyed that you've entrusted me with the full management of the group's affairs. It's not hard work at all!"
She smiled and nodded, then got straight to the point, "What do you think we should do with the funds that were repatriated from Hong Kong?"
More than three months later, Fang Jingxu, along with his subordinates from the securities investment department, completed the disposal of the Hong Kong stocks they had purchased at low prices during the previous financial battle in Hong Kong, dividing them into two parts.
Hold onto some stocks suitable for long-term holding and remain untouched, while gradually sell off the rest as the stock price recovers.
After the Hong Kong government's resounding victory against international speculators, investor confidence in Hong Kong stocks has been restored, and in just over three months, the Hang Seng Index has gradually risen to over 9,000 points.
The initial US$990 million invested by "Jiang's Investment" has now been transformed into stocks worth over HK$7 billion and nearly HK$10 billion in cash.
Such a large amount of capital has doubled in just over three months!
Li Anting pondered for a moment and said, "I've been thinking about this issue recently. The right solution is to diversify such a large amount of funds. I think we have two options."
Jiang Xiaoli became interested and said, "Tell me about it."
Li Anting analyzed, "One option is to invest in the group's existing companies, which will provide substantial financial support and lead to explosive growth for the group's subsidiaries."
Another approach is to invest in emerging fields to seize a leading position; don't put all your eggs in one basket, and cast a wide net under certain conditions.
She smiled and asked, "Which one do you prefer?"
Li Anting shrugged. "The first and second types are split 30/70 or 40/60."
Jiang Xiaoli snapped her fingers. "An Ting, we're on the same page."
She said with a smile, "I've been thinking about this issue a lot while I'm at home recovering from childbirth."
It's such a waste to leave such a large sum of money in the bank; we should utilize our resources to maximize profits.
"An Ting, what industries have you set your sights on?"
Li Anting chuckled and said, "Chairman Jiang, to be honest, my market acumen is far inferior to yours."
However, when I first joined the company, you gave me a list of industries, even though "Jiang's Investment" had already screened them once.
But looking back after two or three years, some projects that weren't unsuitable for investment before are now a great opportunity!
Jiang Xiaoli was somewhat surprised by her way of thinking, because that industry list was a summary she had made based on the industry situation in her previous life.
There must be a reason why these industries can remain popular for decades.
She never expected that Li Anting would value her words so much, and even went back to organize his thoughts.
She smiled and said, "Then tell me, which ones have you taken a liking to?"
Li Anting said with a smile, "Don't bite off more than you can chew. I've only summarized four directions: the Internet, mobile communications, real estate, and tourism."
Jiang Xiaoli's face immediately lit up with a smile. "An Ting, I really want to applaud my past self! Having a president like you at the Jiang Group has made things so much easier for me!"
“Chairman Jiang, you’ve set a good example. I’ve been researching this for a long time, and I’ve also combined it with your previous investment intentions to come up with this,” Li Anting replied.
She nodded. "Any of the four industries you just mentioned that could become an industry leader would be a remarkable achievement. Now is the perfect time for us to start making our plans."
Li Anting suggested, "Chairman Jiang, in the internet sector we have 'Yujia Technology,' in mobile communications we have 'Jinbo Technology,' and in real estate we have 'Jincheng Real Estate' and 'Huaxin Group.'"
For us, the tourism industry is the only sector we're completely new to. What do you think is the best starting point for us?
After a moment's thought, Jiang Xiaoli said, "The tourism industry has entry points in every aspect, such as travel, accommodation, food, attractions, and sightseeing."
However, I believe that grasping just two points is enough.
She suddenly asked, "An Ting, you know about 'Sougou,' which just launched, right? What do you think of it?"
Li Anting subconsciously replied, "I've tried 'Sougou' (搜购), and I find it quite convenient. Not only are all the items on it genuine, but they're also cheaper than in department stores..."
As she was talking, she suddenly realized, "Chairman Jiang, do you mean to create a platform that integrates tourism resources?"
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and nodded, "Imagine how huge the user base would be if everyone's first choice for a one-stop solution, whether they're going on a business trip, visiting relatives, or traveling, all on our platform?"
Li Anting seemed to have had a breakthrough, exclaiming, "This is a combination of the internet and existing industries! Chairman Jiang, I think it's entirely feasible!"
