In July, the large-scale TV series "The Legend of the Imperial Concubines of the Qing Dynasty," produced by "Jiang's Entertainment," became an instant hit across the country after being broadcast simultaneously on multiple TV stations. Every night during prime time, you could hear the show playing on TV wherever you went.
On December 12, the first online shopping festival hosted by "Sogou" opened to great success, with transaction volume exceeding 40 million yuan on the first day of the event.
In early 2002, "Jiang's Cultural Tourism" and "Jiang's Wine Tourism" won the Most Trusted by Consumers Award.
With the continuous upgrades and increasing number of users, Jinbo Technology has become the undisputed number one mobile phone brand in China.
On June 11, the day "Jinbo Technology" went public, its market value surged 8.29 times!
On May 21, 2003, "Jiang's Group" and "Yujia Technology" moved into their respective company skyscrapers.
"Jiang's Building" and "Yu Jia Technology Building" are located next to each other. After several years, Jiang Xiaoli and Zong Jiayu once again started going to and from get off work together.
On April 15, 2004, "Yujia Technology" was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, becoming the first Chinese Internet company to be listed on the main board of Hong Kong. On the day of listing, "Yujia Technology" had a market value of over HK$30 billion.
During a post-market interview, a reporter asked, "Mr. Zong, are you aware that you are now the richest man in China?"
Zong Jiayu smiled and shook his head. "China is full of hidden talents. I believe I have many more powerful entrepreneurs whose wealth far exceeds mine."
A reporter jokingly asked, "Mr. Zong, are you referring to your wife?"
Zong Jia simply shrugged and did not directly answer their questions.
On July 22, the "Kyoto City Jinya Hospital" held an unveiling ceremony, marking the official start of operations for this private hospital with the Jiang Family Medical Research Institute as its background.

On November 3, Forbes, the world's leading business magazine, released its 2005 Forbes China Rich List in Kyoto. Zong Jia and Jiang Xiaoli topped the list solely based on the shares they held in listed companies.
Many people privately speculated that the unlisted companies under the "Jiang Group" alone would be enough to double the couple's assets.
That same night, after seeing the report, Jiang Xiaoli leaned on Zong Jiayu's shoulder and asked, "Ayu, do you think we've almost finished our struggle?"
Zong Jia raised an eyebrow. "Little Pear, are you thinking about your plan to retire before you turn 30?"
She suddenly perked up, "You remember too, right! Ah Yu, you're 30 this year, let's retire!"
Zong Jia squeezed her hand. "Wife, are you serious?"
Jiang Xiaoli nodded, "Of course!"
Zong Jia chuckled, then got out of bed and pulled her into the study.
The two logged into their own travel platform and started planning their trip.
After spending a week settling things with the company, on November 10th they flew to Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world, on their own private jet.
After a few days of adjustment, on November 18th, they had a video call with their families before boarding the cruise ship to Antarctica to see the glaciers and penguins.
Li Guizhi had a lot of complaints about the two of them. "You two are really something! You just ran away like that, and Xiaoxiao has been unhappy these past two days!"
Jiang Fuya, who is already a primary school student, secretly turned around and glanced at the camera, then quickly turned back, leaving only the round back of her head for these "unscrupulous parents".
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and said, "Xiaoxiao, your dad and I came ahead to check it out. If we think it's good, we'll bring you along later."
Jiang Fuya turned her head and pouted, saying, "Your credibility has been greatly reduced, and I'm starting to doubt you."
Zong Jiayu smiled helplessly, "Dad promises you, when you're older, the three of us will come together."
It took them a long time to calm their daughter down.
Li Guizhi instructed, "Keep the satellite phone accessible and let me know you're safe every day!"
"Okay!" They waved at the camera and then hung up the video call.
After boarding the expedition cruise ship and settling their luggage, the two of them went to the bow.
Gazing at the boundless sea, Jiang Xiaoli hugged Zong Jiayu's waist and said, "Ayu, our new life has begun."
Zong Jia looked up, touched her hair, and smiled gently. "Yes, our new life begins."
