Chapter 258 Couple's Calculations
Shen Wancheng stood sideways to Gu Jinxing, pursing her lips and remaining silent.
Gu Jinxing then spoke again.
"It's okay for other pregnant women, but you're carrying triplets, so it's not allowed."
Shen Wancheng pushed Gu Jinxing away.
Enraged, he retorted, "Who wanted that!"
Shen Wancheng was just in a good mood today and decided to play a joke on Gu Jinxing to tease him.
But to her surprise, the man took it seriously and rejected her.
Shen Wancheng got off Gu Jinxing and lay back on the bed.
Gu Jinxing then held her close and whispered in her ear.
"We can't be together, but I can make you comfortable."
Shen Wancheng looked at Gu Jinxing in shock, "What?"
Shen Wancheng was shocked not because she didn't understand what Gu Jinxing was saying, but because she didn't expect Gu Jinxing to say that.
During this time, Gu Jinxing has been very well-behaved. Although they share a bed every day, Gu Jinxing's hands are as if welded to her waist, and he never reaches anywhere else.
How could you suddenly say something like that?
Although Shen Wancheng had lived two lifetimes, she only ever made love with Gu Jinxing that one night.
But she was a modern person who had traversed the internet of the future and considered herself to know more than Gu Jinxing.
Shen Wancheng knew that avoiding the first three months and late stages of pregnancy was fine, even if it meant being intimate with her husband.
But she's pregnant with triplets, so things can't be done the usual way; we have to be careful.
Therefore, Shen Wancheng never excessively provokes Gu Jinxing.
But I didn't expect it to ignite so easily today.
Why the hell did she feel comfortable? What's so comfortable about it?
While Shen Wancheng was still inwardly complaining, Gu Jinxing lifted her chin and lowered his head to kiss her.
The hand that was welded to her waist loosened and began to set fire to various parts of Shen Wancheng's body.
That night, Shen Wancheng finally understood what it meant to make her feel comfortable.
She was indeed feeling better.
Then Gu Jinxing went to the bathroom to take care of his business.

The next morning.
Just as Gu Jinxing had expected, Zhang Qidong delivered a financial statement without him or Shen Wancheng having to ask.
Both the research on mobile phones and the construction of mobile signal towers originally required substantial financial support.
However, the biggest expenditures for both of these things are in technological research, and Shen Wancheng happened to provide a complete set of basic theories.
Therefore, the actual investment in this area is not as large as outsiders imagine.
However, when doing the company's accounting, Gu Jinxing still asked Zhang Qidong to estimate an amount for Shen Wancheng's technical contributions and include it, totaling four hundred million Hong Kong dollars.
Gu Jinxing called Shen Wancheng.
However, Shen Wancheng felt that even though she and Gu Jinxing were husband and wife, they should keep their work matters separate. Since her technology investment had already been converted into capital, she should invest according to her shareholding.
In the end, the 400 million yuan returned to the company.
Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing have the same share in the two companies, but since Shen Wancheng's technology shares have been quantified, her cash investment is more than Gu Jinxing's. Gu Jinxing invested 3 million, so the total investment of the two companies is 7 million.
This is Hong Kong Island in 81. It's quite rare to see a new company with this amount of investment.
Yesterday, 10,000 mobile phones were actually sold, with a total sales revenue of 100 million yuan. The pre-orders have already filled the second batch of 10,000 units. Pre-orders only require a deposit of 2888 yuan, so the sales revenue is 2888 million yuan.
We're still far from breaking even. However, the 7 million investment hasn't been fully used up yet. Also, technology and mobile companies are different from clothing and watch companies. The main cost for these two companies is in product research and development. Now that the first generation of products has been developed, the cost has dropped significantly, and the subsequent profits will be substantial.
Later generations of Apple iPhones have always been very expensive, but the hardware cost is actually only a little over a thousand.
Similarly, the hardware cost of the mobile phone was only around HK$1,000, but the profit margin from its sales was very high.
The return on investment for China Eastern Mobile will be relatively slower, but it is also a once-and-for-all solution.
As technology advances, mobile phones will only become more and more widespread, and the associated costs will also increase. Once this project is built, it will be harder to lose money than to make a profit.
So even though the books show a loss, no one is worried about the future of the two companies.
Shen Wancheng was very pleased to see that 10,000 units had already been pre-sold, and the second batch of products had been completely reserved.
The sales of the mobile phone were indeed better than she had expected.
After a day or two of advertising for the mobile phones, it's believed that most of the third and fourth batches of mobile phones will be pre-ordered, at which point the investment will be recouped.
A project that invests hundreds of millions of yuan can recoup its costs in just two months after completion and one or two months after sales begin. Who wouldn't be confused by that?
However, Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing had new concerns.
Gu Jinxing went to the Gu family business in the morning, while Shen Wancheng stayed at home. Gu Jinxing returned at noon.
The two had lunch together and discussed the financing issues of their two companies.
Financing for both companies is inevitable.
Even low-level members of the He family know that mobile phones are profitable and want to join Oriental Technology Company, let alone the business tycoons in Hong Kong. Who wouldn't want a piece of the pie?
It's highly unlikely that Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing would want to eat such a big cake all by themselves.
Although they have separate finances, to outsiders they are considered a married couple, a family.
Nobody would agree to one company monopolizing the entire mobile phone market.
After lunch, Gu Jinxing took Shen Wancheng for a walk in his garden.
"Next, someone from both companies should make contact."
"Since financing is inevitable, we might as well spread the word proactively. This way, we can have the initiative, everyone can compete fairly, and we can decide which company will be on the table."
Gu Jinxing smiled faintly, "That's what I meant too. Have you looked at the company family profiles that Zhang Qidong brought over this morning?"
Shen Wancheng nodded and asked, "Which ones do you favor?"
“The Liang family, the Yan family, and the Zheng family.”
Shen Wancheng recalled the information about these three companies.
“Liang’s Financial has made rapid progress in Southeast Asia in recent years and has ample cash flow. Most importantly, they may bring access to the Southeast Asian market, which is a good option.”
"You mentioned the Yan family because you value their deep connections in political circles."
"Why the Zheng family?"
Gu Jinxing smiled and said, "The Zheng family holds several prime plots of land in Hong Kong Island."
Shen Wancheng's eyes lit up.
If we're talking about Hong Kong Island's rapid development in the next few years, what will be the most valuable thing? It will definitely be land.
Gu Jinxing could tell from Shen Wancheng's change in expression that she understood what he meant.
This kind of quick and easy conversation made both parties very happy.
“Then let’s tentatively settle on these three families: the Yan family with a solid foundation, the Liang family to expand the market, and the Zheng family to supplement resources. As for market share…” Shen Wancheng smiled and said, “That depends on how they fight for it.”
Gu Jinxing added, "After the financing, these two companies should go public soon. Then you'll have two listed companies under your name. Congratulations, Mrs. Gu."
"Congratulations, Mr. Gu."
