Chapter 651: Chapter 670: The Shareholder Dream Team Begins to Take Shape
The company still had some of Juju’s data saved, so instead of going out, the group just whipped up a meal right at the headquarters.
And how was it—
Delicious. Truly delicious.
Good food brings joy, and with that joy comes a willingness to speak one’s mind.
During the meal, a few of the bosses exchanged some friendly suggestions. "We should use the remaining money to quickly hire some technical staff or upgrade some of the equipment in the livestreaming studio."
Boss Wang grunted in agreement and took up the point. "The sensors aren’t cutting it. The flavor profiles aren’t as rich as they used to be. New customers might not be able to tell, but our palates—"
They had truly been spoiled.
"We’ll make improvements gradually. We’re just starting out, so there are bound to be some issues."
"That’s true. We’re not afraid of problems, as long as we can fix them."
"Thank you all for your appreciation of Qiuqiu, and thank you for your faith in New Star." Qian Xingxing stood up, raising his teacup. "I’m grateful for your trust. I will manage New Star well and make absolutely sure none of you lose a single Star Coin."
"We all believe in you!"
’With Juju, there’s no way we can lose!’
’Even if we do, it’s fine. It’s all to support our idol’s career! We’re not scared!’
At that moment, everyone at the table was still celebrating, completely unaware that this one percent of shares would one day cause an earth-shattering shift in the entire interstellar financial landscape.
-
The "F4" group of bosses stayed for a day or two, and during that time, they were all frantically asking when exactly the shareholder benefits would be implemented.
How could he possibly delay? After procuring a pile of different data-based culinary creations, Qian Xingxing started a group chat and added all the current shareholders.
He then shared the food resources in the group, announcing, "It starts now."
"!"
"!"
"So decisive!"
"That’s the kind of decisiveness a young person needs!"
"We’re betting on you!"
"Now that we’ve seen this, it’s about time for us to head back." They took stock of things; they had indeed been on Federation Star for quite some time.
Han Laoda, Lily, Old Xu, and Xiao Wang were also starting to miss their own companies and colleagues.
They’d gathered quite a lot of material from this trip, and they couldn’t wait to get back and have a happy chat with their partners and employees.
These were all major players. Qian Xingxing had learned a lot from his interactions with them, so he was reluctant to see them go and hoped they might stay a few more days.
"No, no, we can’t."
It was time to go.
"You really won’t stay a few more days?" Qian Xingxing immediately dangled Qiuqiu as bait. "In another two or three days, it’ll be Qiuqiu’s weekend. I can take you all to her place for a visit."
He was sure this offer would convince them to stay.
But to his surprise, the news seemed to make them even more antsy. They waved their hands dismissively, "Forget it, forget it. We’re heading back this very afternoon."
"We’d better not meet Juju."
"?"
"Sometimes fans and streamers need to keep their distance."
If they actually met her, their casual banter on the Star Network and their chats with Juju in the fan group wouldn’t feel so natural anymore.
"It’s better if we don’t meet for the time being!"
This unique "connection" between fans and their idol was something Qian Xingxing, naturally, wouldn’t understand.
And so, that afternoon, the four of them took a Teleportation Mecha back to their home planets.
A few days later, Qian Xingxing met with Jiang Qiuqiu and recounted the entire story to her.
It made Jiang Qiuqiu’s eyes curve into crescents as she laughed. "So, are all bosses this interesting nowadays?"
"I feel like they’re younger than I am."
’What a great attitude.’
"So, the real-food-shipment benefit hasn’t been fulfilled yet, has it? After my stream this afternoon, should I just have the robot at my door come over to pack everything up?"
"That works. I’ll send you the shareholders’ addresses. I don’t need to send Mei Lin’s, right?"
"No need for hers. I’ll just give it to her directly when I go to school tonight."
Qian Xingxing’s voice was cheerful over the communicator. "You’re going to be in for a huge surprise during your stream this afternoon." He said, "The Level 7 Main Brain... it really lives up to its reputation."
"Is that so?" Jiang Qiuqiu stretched lazily. "Then let’s see if the thing we spent so much money on is actually any good!"
"Also, Qiuqiu, the company is currently scouting the market for new streamers to bring on board."
"Oh, that’s great!"
"You’re one of the owners, so I’m just giving you a heads-up." Qian Xingxing’s voice was filled with ambition. "I’ve run the numbers on our accounts again. The next step is to scout some established streamers and also discover some new talent at the academies."
As long as this next step was a success...
Then—the future would be limitless.
