Actually, Xu Deming was very aware that the biggest issue now wasn’t his relationship with Xie Bingyan, but the damage that had been inflicted upon the family over these four years.
This kind of harm might haunt him for his entire life and ultimately become everyone’s nightmare. Right now, Xu Deming just wanted to understand everything that had happened as much as possible.
He needed to know to what extent Xu Mo had reached. Was it true that nothing could be reversed anymore? Would all apologies be meaningless?
From what he could see now, these wounds seemed incredibly deep, seemingly bottomless.
“This footage…” Xu Deming noticed a large wolfhound appearing in it, slightly puzzled.
Xu Wanting glanced at him and said, “It was Fourth Sister who forced Xu Mo to kneel down and apologize to that dog. Mom, Second Sister, and Third Sister were all there at the time!”
“…”
Xu Deming’s blood seemed to freeze instantly, his eyes wide in astonishment as he looked at Xu Wanting.
“Kneel down? To a dog?”
“Second Sister already regrets deeply! She feels very sorry, but Xu Mo has ignored her! This kind of thing, perhaps it’s not just once or twice!” Xu Wanting continued.
Xu Deming took a deep breath, his hands trembling. Shakingly, he took out a cigarette and a lighter, trying to light it, but he failed several times.
Finally, on the last attempt, he lit it and took a deep drag.
He had finished that last cigarette, feeling the pent-up fire in his chest unable to be released.
He continued lighting one cigarette after another, exhaling smoke continuously until the ashtray was nearly full of cigarette butts.
“Dad! A few days ago, Mom gave Junzhe a large sum of money to start a business! Now Junzhe has started a shared electric bike company just like Xu Mo’s Sharing economy!” Xu Wanting continued, “She never gave Xu Mo a single cent, yet she casually gave Junzhe fifty million! I don’t understand what she’s thinking. Even at this point, does she still feel it’s not enough?”
“Fifty million?” Xu Deming was hearing this for the first time; no one had informed him.
“Yes! She gave it a few days ago! Junzhe used it to start his business!” Xu Wanting added.
“Wow… Indeed, it’s Xie Bingyan, ruthless enough! She really thinks it’s not enough!” Xu Deming heard this and a touch of despair appeared on his face. “She still wants to continue retaliating against me!”
“She’s not retaliating against you, but against Xu Mo! I don’t understand why. Xu Mo hasn’t done anything wrong,” Xu Wanting said tearfully.
“Damn her! This bitch!” Xu Deming trembled with anger.
The two continued to watch the video and saw how tragic it was!
…
Xu Junzhe moved quickly to contact manufacturers for producing electric vehicles. As a top student, he understood the risks of entrepreneurship and proceeded cautiously.
However, being adopted into the Xu family, he had money, connections, and influence. His company quickly took shape and began operating smoothly.
Once the shared electric vehicles were ready, he swiftly started promoting them, aiming to replace shared bicycles with shared electric vehicles.
The cost of the shared electric vehicles was set at 2,000 yuan each. Xu Junzhe and his team discussed and decided to set the deposit for the electric vehicles at 999 yuan.
They believed this price was quite reasonable, and for most people, it was a very attractive offer that would surely attract countless users.
Therefore, with money in hand, Xu Junzhe began aggressively advertising as soon as they started deploying the electric vehicles, marking the beginning of the shared electric vehicle era.
It must be said, having money makes everything easier.
Currently, Xu Junzhe holds nearly one billion yuan in funds, much more substantial than Xu Mo’s initial startup capital. Back then, Xu Mo still needed financing to continue expanding.
Now, Xu Junzhe can completely skip this step.
The shared electric vehicles indeed have better performance compared to shared bicycles, as they are more efficient and convenient.
Despite some people initially hesitating due to deposit issues, Xu Junzhe’s extensive advertising efforts quickly attracted a growing number of users.
“We already have three thousand users, and we’ll soon reach ten thousand!”
“Our user growth rate is very rapid! Success is within easy reach!”
“Third and Fourth Sister, continue investing in my electric vehicles! I’ll allocate a portion of shares to you both. We will definitely succeed!”
Third Sister Xu Manni and Fourth Sister Xu Pandi certainly have funds at their disposal.
As daughters of the Xu family, they are wealthy women with tens of millions in assets.
Xu Junzhe now had his sights set on uniting them.
“Well done, Junzhe! You’re really impressive!”
“Surpass Xu Mo, defeat Xu Mo!” Xu Pandi grinned.
Xu Junzhe remained modest, “I’ve learned a lot from Xu Mo, I’m hoping to do my best!”
“Although you’ve learned from him, your electric vehicles are much more impressive! You’ll surely surpass him in the future. Third Sister will invest ten million!” Xu Manni chuckled.
“Thank you, Third Sister!” Junzhe exclaimed, grateful.
He had planned to approach Xu Wanting and Xu Xuehui for additional investments.
Especially with the eldest sister Xu Wanting controlling Deverna, she had at least five to six billion in liquid assets. If she agreed to invest one billion with him, Xu Junzhe could definitely surpass Xu Mo and develop into the largest domestic giant in the sharing economy sector.
However, it was unfortunate that Xu Wanting and Xu Xuehui hadn’t responded to his investment proposal yet.
Junzhe understood very well that if he could secure investments from Xu Wanting and Xu Xuehui, it wouldn’t just be about the money. Most importantly, it would unify his front with them, solidifying his position within the Xu family.
After Xu Mo exposed Xie Bingyan’s crimes last time, Junzhe had sensed a terrifying sense of crisis.
It was difficult for him to accept the fact that he was merely a tool. Therefore, running his business and finding his own success became the best choice.
Fortunately, he had gained Xie Bingyan’s approval again.
…
The shared electric bikes rapidly expanded, quickly occupying a large portion of Xiahai City and successfully squeezing out some of the market space belonging to the Little Monster Bike.
On the other side, Xu Mo, Tang Lei, and Gu Huanxi arrived at a café to meet with several people and discuss operational issues for their company. They had quite a lot to talk about, and Xu Mo presented a set of data showing that their user base had reached eight million.
Currently, the daily revenue can reach three million, with a monthly income totaling approximately ninety million.
Based on this calculation, their annual revenue might reach around nine billion. Even after deducting for loss rates and employee expenses, their net profit should be able to maintain around two billion.
This is a terrifying figure, considering Xu Mo’s company was just recently established. Undoubtedly, presenting such data would greatly shock anyone on the receiving end.
Now, web based sharing economies are sprouting up like mushrooms after rain, becoming a phenomenon. Countless people are discussing the development of this economic model.
People marvel at societal progress, at the trust between individuals, and particularly at those who were the first to venture into this new territory.
It turns out to be so bold!
So now, there are people discussing another model, that is, unmanned supermarkets.
Coming over are people from the Ali Group.
Recently, it seems that they are discussing whether this unmanned supermarket model is feasible. Today, a few people are sitting together, just chatting.
But Xu Mo immediately denied this idea.
“This is not the same concept as shared bikes. Unmanned supermarkets don’t seem to have a future yet! I don’t recommend you to develop unmanned supermarkets now! There are still many technical issues that cannot be solved!”
“How will goods be identified? How much is the value of the taken goods? How to deduct money? Is it all based on voluntary principles? This will cause many people to skip payment, resulting in huge losses!”
“Our social relationships have improved significantly, but we’re still not at a level where everyone is self-disciplined! Therefore, I don’t support the development of unmanned supermarkets; the timing isn’t right yet.”
Xu Mo’s stance was clear and immediately surprised Tang Lei and the people from the Ali Group.
It’s worth noting that Xu Mo, through the shared bike business, has significantly boosted the confidence of the Chinese people, increased trust between individuals, and enhanced the sense of social responsibility for many.
Unmanned supermarkets have already appeared, but they’ve only recently gained popularity, with several companies already operating in the unmanned supermarket sector.
However, in this situation, Xu Mo poured cold water on the unmanned supermarket idea, making people hesitate involuntarily!
Gu Huanxi, hearing him say this, couldn’t help but show a burst of excitement in his eyes.
During this period, Xu Mo’s predictions had never been wrong.
