Chapter 314 - Chapter 314 314 has a glow on his face

Chapter 314: 314 has a glow on his face Chapter 314: 314 has a glow on his face Luo Xiyun realized what had happened when she saw the brand-new Maybach parked in front of the building. She asked, “Did your patent licensing deal go through?”

“Yep.” Chen Xu said with a smile, pulling open the car door.

It was something Luo Xiyun had expected, but she was a bit surprised and questioned, “Why haven’t I seen any news about it?”

“I prefer to keep things low-profile,” Chen Xu answered.

They got into the car, and Luo Xiyun, looking at his clothes, commented, “That’s not very obvious from the way you dress.”

After Secretary Jin closed the car door, she took the front passenger seat.

The car started to move slowly.

“So, are you thinking about returning home in glory?” Luo Xiyun posed.

“All I want is to buy my parents a nicer house. However, they’re used to being frugal, and I’m worried they won’t listen to me. You help persuade them; they’re more willing to listen to you,” Chen Xu expressed his concern.

Luo Xiyun didn’t say anything more; it truly was the right thing to do.

She changed the subject, “What do you plan to do with the money?”

“I’m planning to set up a data center first,” Chen Xu had already figured it out. “Then buy a plot of land to build a big building for the future company headquarters.”

“A data center?” Luo Xiyun looked at him curiously.

Chen Xu explained, “Input software and translation software, they all need data center support. Your future VR glasses operating system will also require data center services.”

In his dreams, Chen Xu knew exactly which knowledge she was studying. He had the highest authority over the system, and there was nothing that could be concealed from him.

Luo Xiyun’s intention was something he could guess as well–that was to develop an operating system for VR devices first. Due to hardware limitations, current VR integrated devices were relatively expensive and, with various restrictions, the market hadn’t truly been tapped.

Chen Xu could roughly guess her solution and was even clearer about her ambition.

Once the cost of VR devices went down, their effectiveness improved, and content varied, the market was bound to explode. Not to mention the gaming industry, where it had a unique advantage.

The gaming sector was such a huge market.

If Luo Xiyun didn’t get involved, by the time VR devices matured in the future, they would probably be like the smartphone field, dominated by Android and iOS systems–if the fruit company hadn’t gone under by then.

Now everything was different. As long as a relatively mature product could be introduced and the cost remained within the average person’s budget, Luo Xiyun’s company could dominate the market in a short period.

With this first-mover advantage, her operating system could establish an ecosystem as unshakeable as that of the fruit phones.

Keep in mind that VR devices were not only for gaming but could also be used as computers, for browsing the internet, watching videos, and developing virtual social circles, which was equally a powerful feature.

Thus, VR devices must connect to the internet, and Luo Xiyun would also need a powerful and stable server in the future.

Similarly, Yang Jinxia’s development of artificial intelligence would rely on the data center; the sooner it was built, the better.

In fact, Chen Xu’s data center was a joint investment with Yang Jinxia. But there was no need to tell Luo Xiyun about this.

…

By noon, the Maybach stopped at the parents’ house of Chen Xu. With Luo Xiyun and Secretary Jin, he went upstairs, while the driver stayed in the car.

Before arriving, Chen Xu had called to inform them. After they went upstairs, their parents had already prepared a table full of dishes awaiting them.

“Xiyun and Secretary Jin are here too. Go wash your hands; we will start eating soon,” Zeng Wenli warmly greeted them, simultaneously complaining, “Why didn’t you tell us in advance when you had guests coming?”

Chen Xu chuckled, “We’re all family here; no need to stand on ceremony.”

Zeng Wenli said, “Speaking of which, why are you dressed so flamboyantly?”

“I have some good news to announce, come on, let’s all sit down,” Chen Xu called his parents to the table.

“Let’s talk after a bit; the soup is still inside,” Zeng Wenli turned and went back to the kitchen.

Eventually, everyone managed to take their seats.

Chen Xu stood up, looked at his parents, and declared, “First, let me tell you some good news. Your son–and that’s me–has become a billionaire. From now on, you’ll never need to worry about money again.”

“What?”

Chen Xinwen and Zeng Wenli were startled by the content of his words.

“How… How did this happen?” Zeng Wenli instinctively turned to Luo Xiyun, as if seeking confirmation from her.

Luo Xiyun assured, “Auntie, what he said is true. Chen Xu later started another company in mobile internet, like mobile apps. Someone bought his shares, earning him more than a billion.”

This was the explanation Chen Xu had instructed her to give in the car.

Chen Xu’s parents only knew about him until before he went to college. If he told them he made billions through some invention, they would probably find it hard to believe. What invention could a junior college student come up with?

Explaining would be a hassle at that point. To put it bluntly, he wouldn’t be able to explain.

Saying he made money from a software company instead would be more believable to them. The amount was scaled down to a billion, after all, tens of billions were just too exaggerated.

“Really? Earned a billion?” Zeng Wenli’s voice trembled.

“It’s true; I even brought my bank card,” Chen Xu said as he took out a bank card.

Zeng Wenli, visibly excited, exclaimed, “Hurry up and put it away. You child, how can you just casually show this?”

Chen Xu saw his usually composed father also appeared ecstatic, which made him contemplative. Just last year, their family was stressed about debts of a few hundred thousand. Now, not only were they clear of debt, but they had also become billionaires. The change was indeed too swift.

Mainly because over the past year, Chen Xu had performed excellently, first opening a noodle shop and earning several hundred thousand in a year. Then, partnering with others to start a company and his worth soaring to millions. It was because of these developments that they accepted the news so quickly.

“After lunch, let’s go look at houses,” Chen Xu said.

This time, his parents stopped suggesting that staying in their current home was fine; previously, they didn’t want to add pressure to their son. Now that their son was making big money, buying a house carried no pressure at all, so naturally, they wouldn’t contradict his filial intentions.

Chen Xu said they would look at houses in the afternoon, but he was not in a rush to buy. Which neighborhood to select, which type of apartment, it was up to his parents to decide. The house was mainly for them to live in, and it had to align with their own preferences.

He and Luo Xiyun were both very busy and wouldn’t be able to stay here for long.

That evening, Chen Xu asked his parents to call and invite all reachable relatives to have dinner together at the best hotel in the county. On one hand, it was to thank them for their support during the family’s hard times. On the other hand, it was to give his parents face.

A person lives for face, as a tree lives for its bark. The business failure years ago was a huge blow to them, having borrowed so much money, they had completely lost face. They couldn’t lift their heads in front of relatives.

Now Chen Xu could be considered distinguished and as parents, they could also bask in pride.

Seeing his parents’ radiant faces gave him great satisfaction.
