Qi Yun chuckled to himself but didn't expose him, accompanying the old man to the car, instructing Eagle to take him to the hotel.

Back in the ward, Zhao Qing was already up from the bed, tiptoeing to look out of the window downstairs.

"Did he leave?"

"Yes, he did. I asked him to stay for two more days here and go to Shanghai with me the day after tomorrow."

"Oh~" Zhao Qing dragged the tone, looking smart and cheeky.

"You should go home and rest; there's a caregiver here, don't worry about me."

"No need." Qi Yun shook his head, "I'll stay here with you. I'll ask the hospital to add another bed."

The special care ward was spacious enough; adding a bed didn't feel cramped.

Qi Yun called the nurse and gave instructions, then turned back to the bed, picking up the parenting manual beside him, looking through it while occasionally glancing at Zhao Qing.

Zhao Qing, feeling slightly uncomfortable under his gaze, reached out and pushed him, "Why are you looking at me? Read the book."

"Can't I look at my son?" Qi Yun set the manual down, smiling as he leaned closer, reaching out to touch her belly, "The doctor said you need to stay cheerful now, listen to more music; it's good for the baby."

"You're such a chatterbox." Zhao Qing rolled her eyes at him, a faint blush on her cheeks.

...

Ever since the last press conference, with the tailwind of the virtual currency license, Guanghui Group's stock price saw continuous growth, with general optimism outside about Guanghui Group's future.

However, the nearly twenty thousand zero-mileage used cars piled up under its subsidiary remained a headache for Liu Guangxin, troubling him greatly.

The original plan was to slowly sell them off to dealers and small rental firms, but this year's fierce price war in the car market, coupled with regulatory crackdowns on the gray trade of zero-mileage used cars complicated matters.

These twenty thousand cars sat in the parking lot, with management fees and depreciation costs flowing out like water every day.

In the office, Liu Guangxin looked expectantly at Qi Yun: "That person you contacted can really take this batch of cars?"

Qi Yun took the teacup he handed over, calmly saying, "Eating all twenty thousand at once is probably unrealistic; he doesn't have that capacity."

Even if zero-mileage used cars are cheap, the average price per car won't be less than a hundred thousand; that's at least two billion for twenty thousand cars. Hussein probably can't gather that much capital.

"But he can take back a batch to try first. If the South Asia channel can be opened, subsequent goods can follow this line out continuously."

While they talked, the secretary knocked and reported, "Chairman, Mr. Qi's friend has arrived."

"Invite him in."

"Alright." The secretary turned away, shortly bringing the Pakistani businessman in.

Clearly, Hussein took today's meeting seriously, with polished shoes and blue eyes that made him look somewhat handsome.

He belonged to the Kalash tribe, a minority of white people within Pakistan, who all claim descent from Alexander the Great, which feels quite prestigious.

"Hussein, take a seat." Qi Yun stood up and beckoned him.

Hussein quickly stepped forward, speaking fluent Chinese: "Hello, Mr. Qi, we meet again."

"Hello." Qi Yun smiled at him, introducing, "This is the boss of Guanghui Group, Chairman Liu. The used cars I mentioned to you are from Chairman Liu's company."

"Hello, Chairman Liu, I've heard a lot about you." Hussein bowed slightly, humble in attitude, "Thank you both for trusting me with this opportunity for cooperation."

Liu Guangxin nodded, his gaze circling around him, knowing that first impressions are crucial; this Hussein gave him a very sharp and capable impression.

"Please have a seat, Mr. Hussein."

Liu Guangxin gestured, pointing to the sofa opposite him, "President Qi mentioned that you have auto sales channels in South Asia. What are your thoughts on this batch of cars?"

Hussein nodded in response: "Yes, Chairman Liu, I do know some friends in automobile sales in Pakistan and Bangladesh, and I've contacted them before coming here."

"If the price and condition of these cars meet expectations, I can take a thousand back."

After saying this, he seemed worried that Qi Yun and Liu Guangxin would find a thousand cars a small number, so quickly added, "Of course, this is just the first batch!"

"If these cars sell well locally, I'll immediately contact friends in India, as their market is much larger."

After hearing this, Liu Guangxin looked at Qi Yun, seeking his opinion.

But Qi Yun just smiled and shook his head, indicating it was up to Liu Guangxin to decide.

He didn't know much about the auto market, only heard that in India, everyone uses electricity without paying, no need to queue and rush for it...

Liu Guangxin quickly calculated that while a thousand cars were few, it was better than leaving them idling there.

Moreover, the Indian market Hussein mentioned was indeed a lucrative one; if it could be opened up, these twenty thousand cars could potentially be cleared quickly.

He patted his thigh and turned to Hussein: "Mr. Hussein, we can follow your numbers; I'll have someone take you to see the cars."

Hussein rose excitedly, eyes full of anticipation: "Alright, Chairman Liu, thank you!"

"It's business; it's mutually beneficial. No need to be so polite." Liu Guangxin waved, calling the operations manager to take Hussein to see the cars.

After these two left, he refilled Qi Yun's tea cup, "Thank you, Xiao Qi, for thinking about helping me with this mess."

"Heh heh." Qi Yun sipped the tea lightly, replied with a smile, "Actually, it's not just to help you; I'm also quite interested in this channel to see its potential."

Liu Guangxin looked at him with surprise: "You want to sell cars too?"

"It's uncertain for now..."

...

At eleven in the evening, the floor where Yunqing Technology was located was still brightly lit.

It was the official release day of "Defense of Azeroth," and everyone was waiting for the final revenue statistics.

The large conference room was filled with the aroma of caffeine, dozens of people gathered in front of the data screen, eyes locked on the moving numbers.

Especially Xiang Xiaoyue, the product operations director.

She had painted a grand picture for Qi Yun, burnt nearly two hundred million; if she couldn't produce good results, she had no doubt her boss would skin her alive.

Qi Yun glanced at her nervous look, a faint smile forming at the corners of his mouth, "Why panic? If all else fails, we can send you to Siberia to sell computers with Xie Mengmeng."

"No, no, no! President Qi!" Xiang Xiaoyue jolted in fright, quickly waving her hands, "I've stayed up too much; you can't do this to me!"

"Besides, today's data is definitely impressive; the registration volume has already surpassed 8 million earlier."

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

As the clock struck zero, Yuan Hua immediately tapped on the keyboard and projected a visual interface on the big screen.

"First-day registration 8.29 million!"

"First-day recharge amount 9.4 million!"

"Peak concurrent online 2.2 million!"

With the new data released, the conference room exploded instantly!

"What the...! What the...!"

"Incredible!"

Having not finished university, Yuan Hua shouted out his limited vocabulary.

The room was filled with howling cries, cheers, and applause mingling together...

"9.4 million! 9.4 million!" Xiang Xiaoyue completely let loose, tears falling.

She grabbed Qi Yun's arm, choking on her words, "Boss! I don't have to go to Siberia, right?"

Qi Yun, too, hadn't expected the game mall to be so profitable; just selling a few background skins incurred nearly ten million in revenue daily.

If it could remain stable at this level, the money invested could be recouped within a month, and subsequently could become a continuously flowing cash cow!

"Yes, you are pardoned." He suppressed the turbulence in his heart, waved his hand grandiosely, "Listen up everyone! This month's bonus will increase by two hundred thousand!"

"Two hundred thousand per person!"
