Urban God-level Youth

The price Qin Hao set truly left many people agape, an Air Energy Car for two hundred thousand?

This two-hundred-thousand Air Energy Car was made of ordinary materials for both the exterior and interior, and its flight height was limited as well.

The more expensive ones were made of better materials and could fly a bit higher!

The most expensive model was crafted from H-grade metal, featuring smooth lines and seamless construction,

…

At this moment, Qin Hao was sitting in his office, where a larger advanced smart display screen had already been mounted on the wall in front of him.

The screen showed images of Pu'er Island, where the port had already been built, and the massive underground base was due to be completed in the next few days.

The underground base covered a vast area and was even connected to the seafloor, using the latest glass technology and H-grade alloy to construct an undersea base.

The base took nearly thirty-thousand hours to complete, with thousands of robots working tirelessly to create the super undersea base capable of producing F-grade interstellar aircraft carriers.

A knock on the door sounded, and the display screen automatically turned off. Qin Hao called out, "Come in."

Chang Jing entered from outside, "Mr. Qin, Xinghai Building will be completed this morning, Mr. Xia asked you to come and take a look."

Qin Hao nodded, stood up, and left the office. The Xinghai Building, after nearly six months of construction, was finally about to be completed.

The 288-story Xinghai Building was built in less than six months, a marvel in the history of world architecture.

Like the previously tallest Burj Khalifa in Asni Country, which took several years to construct, the rapid construction of Xinghai Building was primarily due to the application of advanced intelligent equipment that greatly improved efficiency.

At this time, no matter where one was in Jianghai City, they could see the towering Xinghai Building, a true marvel.

Leaving the office, Qin Hao saw Du Wanrou and Annie. With the two of them at Xinghai Company, Chang Jing managed even more efficiently.

"Going to see Xinghai Building?" Du Wanrou asked.

Qin Hao nodded, "Yes, let's go take a look together."

The group of four left the office building and saw the towering Xinghai Building not far away, majestic and imposing.

The four of them took a car to the construction site, where Xia Yingjie and Tian Rong, a couple, were waiting with a group of people.

"Mr. Qin, Mr. Chang, you're here," Xia Yingjie greeted as he approached with his team.

Qin Hao smiled and asked, "Mr. Xia, is the building completed? Take us for a tour."

Xia Yingjie led Qin Hao and the group into the building; now all that was left was the interior decoration, which wouldn't take much time. It was simply a matter of spending more money to hire more people.

After touring for over half an hour, they had only roughly looked around. If they were to visit every detail, even a whole day wouldn't be enough.

After the tour, Qin Hao instructed Xia Yingjie to arrange for the decoration quickly and not to worry about the expense.

Money was something Qin Hao now had in abundance; in three months, the profit created by all his companies had already exceeded a trillion.

Currently, on the global rich list, over thirty individuals from Xuan Country are among the top fifty, all of them members of the Xinghai Association.

Although this list doesn't account for many hidden wealthy individuals, it indirectly reveals one fact: Xuan Country's economy is soaring at a frightening pace.

Conversely, many of the Federation's wealthy have fallen off the list, their company performances worsening, some even going bankrupt, with the Federation's unemployment rate increasing and the economy contracting.

While it doesn't seem too severe right now, if it continues, the Federation's economy will severely regress, with unemployment rates skyrocketing, and by then, it will be too late to reverse the situation.

Since the Federation imposed a blockade on Xinghai Association and Xuan Country, Qin Hao had cut off all trade with the Federation, and their smart chip factories' lithography machines had been remotely shut down.

…

Back at Xinghai Company, Annie came into Qin Hao's office with a stack of documents: "Mr. Qin, Changli Automotive Group has agreed to our acquisition plan. The entire group can be bought for thirty billion Xuan Country Coins."

A smile spread across Qin Hao's face. It wasn't just Changli Automotive Group; he had already acquired several other large domestic automotive groups at low prices, aiming to increase the production of Air Energy Cars.

Of course, this excluded Jifeng Automobile Group of the Shen Family, which he would not consider buying even at the lowest price.

With Jiangqi Automobile Group holding the low-end market and Air Energy Cars beginning pre-sales, Xinghai Automobile will also monopolize the mid-to-high-end market.

Those automobile groups had no second option but to sell their companies at low prices.

Qin Hao's decision not to acquire Jifeng Group would have meant that the company would become worthless and eventually go bankrupt and close down.

The initial online public opinion incident was manipulated by Jifeng Group behind the scenes. Now was the time to settle this account with them.

After signing the document, Annie left the room.

Du Wanrou entered again, "These are twenty-seven companies that relocated from Zhou Island. We arranged for them to set up their factories in economically underdeveloped areas such as Shuinan Province and Nanchu Province."

Compared to other parts of Xuan Country, these regions had a lower GDP, but their economic situation had already improved a lot, with incomes having multiplied several times over.

The national tax revenue was also very high, with nearly a hundred billion invested in some of the extremely poor areas in the last few months.

Some villages were relocated entirely, others received new roads, making transportation more convenient. Xuan Country no longer had any extremely poor areas.

Qin Hao nodded, "How is the economic situation in the Zhou Island region now?"

"Due to the deepening cooperation between the nations of the Southeast Continent and our Xinghai Association, companies in the Zhou Island region closed down or went bankrupt. More companies have migrated to the mainland. Their unemployment rate is now very high, and many have started protesting and demonstrating against the administrators of the Zhou Island region."

A smile appeared on Qin Hao's face; they would not be able to hold out for much longer. The Federation to the north was too preoccupied to care about them.

Du Wanrou continued, "Regarding the matter of Xinghai Bank, what do you think?"

After pondering, Qin Hao said, "Leveraging Xinghai Company's current reputation, if we were to establish Xinghai Bank, many people would definitely choose it. After all, Xinghai Company is now rich enough to rival nations, even more reliable than state banks."

...

Around noon, Xinghai Air Energy Cars began their presale. Ten cars worth five billion each, a hundred cars at one billion each, a thousand cars at twenty million each, ten thousand cars at three million each, and a hundred thousand cars priced at two hundred thousand each.

In less than a minute, all the cars were sold out, and Xinghai Automobile Factory's account was instantly credited with over a hundred billion. The figure was somewhat terrifying.

It's primarily because there are now more wealthy people in Xuan Country.

After having lunch at the company, Qin Hao received a call from Su Jiayi, "Mr. Qin, we've finally done it, we've made the breakthrough. You must come see this."

Qin Hao was somewhat speechless, "Big sister, it took you three months to come up with this; I'm really starting to doubt your abilities."

Su Jiayi defended, "Do you think this was easy to research? Some of the instruments were totally unsuitable; many had to be modified by us. You, this terrible capitalist, only know about benefits and money, not at all considerate of us ordinary people."

Ordinary people? You're anything but ordinary.

Qin Hao replied, "I'm on my way."

After hanging up, he drove an Air Energy Car to the Xinghai Biological Genetic Technology Company's research base.

The lab was located in the New Port District. It took him about two minutes on a slow drive to reach the research base.

Getting out of the car, he walked towards the lab's entrance which featured a smart lock. Only personnel from the lab could enter, but naturally, as the boss, Qin Hao had complete access rights.

After retina and face scans, Qin Hao entered the research facility.

Walking down the corridors, he arrived at the lab where Su Jiayi and a group of experts were waiting for him.

On the lab bench, there was a test tube containing a red liquid, the very life-saving elixir they had been working on.

Seeing him arrive, someone spoke up, "Mr. Qin, shall we test this thing out?"

Qin Hao nodded, "Proceed with the experiment."

In the lab, they had lab mice for experiments. One of the experts made a cut on a mouse which couldn't struggle because it was restrained.

Then, someone injected the life-saving elixir into the mouse's body with a syringe.

Everyone watched the mouse's wound heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then it completely disappeared.

The experts conducted a full-body check on the mouse; there were no side effects, and it was completely healed.

This was a test for external injuries, and then they conducted tests for internal injuries, experiments with cancer cells, and various viruses. Without exception, all were completely eradicated by the life-saving elixir.

The experts were excited and thrilled, with Su Jiayi's eyes shining and a smile on her face.

Qin Hao observed Su Jiayi's subtly upturned corner of the mouth, his own smile carrying a profound meaning.
