Longguo, Yun Province.
Inside the headquarters building of Xingfeng Group, Li Xiaorou was sitting in her office working as usual.
Although she is now the president of the group, she is no longer required to do many things.
But Li Xiaorou dared not slack off in her work at all.
She knew very well that since Chen Feng had handed Xingfeng Group over to her, it was a sign of trust in her, and she would not let this trust down.
At this moment, the phone on Li Xiaorou's desk suddenly rang.
Looking at the incoming call, Li Xiaorou smiled bitterly and shook her head. She picked up the phone: "Leader."
Liu Mu's deep voice came from the phone: "Has Xiao Chen not finished his research yet?"
Li Xiaorou said, "Not yet."
"Okay, if Xiao Chen comes out of the laboratory, contact me as soon as possible." Liu Mu hung up the phone after saying that.
Looking at the hung up phone, Li Xiaorou felt helpless.
These days Liu Mu calls her almost every day to ask about Chen Feng's situation.
She couldn't contact Chen Feng, and could only say that Chen Feng was doing experiments in a secret laboratory.
Although he didn't know what Liu Mu wanted to say, it must be something important, otherwise he wouldn't come to ask her every few days.
Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door of the room.
Li Xiaorou collected her thoughts and said, "Come in."
Originally, Li Xiaorou thought that the person coming in was either her assistant or a senior executive of the company, but when the door opened, a familiar face came into her sight.
Seeing this familiar face, Li Xiaorou stood up in surprise:
"boss!"
Chen Feng smiled: "I haven't seen you for a while. It seems that the group is developing better and better."
After sending Cheeves back to Eagle Country, Chen Feng rushed to Dragon Country.
Although he rarely cared about his property in Longguo, it was still his property after all.
And this is his home, so Chen Feng basically goes back to his country every time he stays in the scroll world for a long time.
On the way back to Longguo just now, Chen Feng also browsed the domestic Internet.
News about Xingfeng Group is still on the hot searches on major platforms.
These hot searches are all about Xingfeng Group's products. Either that cancer patient was cured by Xingfeng Group's anti-cancer drugs, or that celebrity's skin improved dramatically after taking Xingfeng Group's beauty products.
The popularity of these news also indicates how popular Xingfeng Group is in China.
Li Xiaorou ran to Chen Feng, took Chen Feng's arm, and said with a smile:
"Isn't this all because of you, Boss? I really want to expose your identity, Boss. This way you will definitely become the most famous person in the country. No, the most famous person in the world."
Li Xiaorou was very happy to see Chen Feng come back to see her.
Although only a week had passed since the last time she saw Chen Feng, Li Xiaorou missed him very much every day she didn't see him.
"Forget it, I don't like this." Chen Feng waved his hand. He didn't like being the center of attention, which was why he always kept a low profile.
Chen Feng then said: "I came back this time just to take a look and see what the group needs."
Li Xiaorou replied: "There is not much need for it at the moment. We haven't cleared out the inventory of the last batch of products yet. It's enough for a few months."
Chen Feng then remembered that he had indeed brought a lot of things last time.
Due to the different passage of time, he stayed in the scroll world for a long time, and subconsciously thought that a long time had passed in the modern world as well.
"I brought some more finished products this time. I will put them in the warehouse later. You can try to expand your sales channels. Anti-cancer drugs no longer need to be limited in supply."
Chen Feng also brought a bunch of products this time, all of which were produced by the Xingfengmen factory.
Nowadays, Xingfengmen has a large number of factories, and it is also considered a top force in the outer sea. It is much easier than before to purchase spiritual herbs for making anti-cancer drugs.
"Okay, boss." Li Xiaorou nodded with a smile. She was naturally happy to have more products in stock.
Because in this way, Xingfeng Group's industry can continue to expand.
Then, Li Xiaorou took a piece of document from the desk.
"Boss, this is the financial report for the first quarter of this year, take a look." Li Xiaorou looked at Chen Feng with anticipation.
Chen Feng took the financial report and glanced at it. The report clearly showed that Xingfeng Group's total revenue in the first quarter was 244 billion US dollars, and its profit was as high as 205 billion US dollars.
Seeing this number, Chen Feng was not surprised at all.
Given the current development of Xingfeng Group, it is normal to have this income.
However, this financial report is an internal report and is not open to the public.
The total revenue was 244 billion, while the profit was an astonishing 205 billion, which is something that no other industry can achieve.
If other companies saw this financial report, they would definitely think they were dreaming.
It can be said that Xingfeng Group is the only company in the world that can do this.
Because the material costs of Xingfeng Group have never been included in the group's finances, all the raw materials were brought by him from the painting world.
The only costs of Xingfeng Group are publicity and promotion, as well as employee salaries, including the construction of stores in some regions.
How much money can these cost?
We cannot say that the current Xingfeng Group is the largest company in the world, but it is definitely the most profitable company in the world.
"Hey, boss, how about it? Are you satisfied with this income?" Li Xiaorou looked at Chen Feng and asked. This was the result of her work during this period of time.
Chen Feng nodded and praised: "Not bad, you didn't let me down. It seems that it was the right choice for me to hand over the group to you."
In fact, Chen Feng had long lost interest in money in the modern world. Money was just a number to him.
The reason why he still needed money was because he needed money to purchase supplies and transport them to the scroll world.
This is also why he wants to build his own industry in the modern world.
Whether it is the industries in the Golden Triangle or the industries in Dragon Country, they are all tools for him to collect resources.
Li Xiaorou was overjoyed when she received Chen Feng's praise. She immediately thought of something and said:
"Oh, boss, I almost forgot. The leader has been calling me these past few days. It seems that he has something important to talk to you about."
Hearing this, Chen Feng nodded:
"I see. I'll make a call first."
Chen Feng then picked up the phone and called Liu Mu.
The call was connected soon, and Liu Mu's voice came from the other end of the line: "Xiao Chen, have you finished the experiment?"
"Well, it's over for now." Chen Feng replied.
Chen Feng naturally knew what the research Liu Mu asked about was. Last time, Liu Mu asked someone to send him some warrior elixirs and cultivation techniques, hoping that he could study them.
Liu Mu asked: "Is there any progress?"
"After my preliminary research, I found that this drug can indeed improve the quality of the human body, but the ingredients in it are illusory and require a lot of time to analyze. It can't be figured out in a short time." Chen Feng explained casually.
Liu Mu said: "As long as there is progress, we are not in a hurry."
Chen Feng turned and asked: "Leader, you are not looking for me for this matter, right?"
Chen Feng knew that Liu Mu definitely didn't come to him to ask him about research matters.
After all, according to modern world time, only a little over a week had passed since he last entered the research institute.
No scientific research project can be completed in such a short time.
Liu Mu's voice suddenly became serious, and then he said: "I am looking for you for another matter. Do you remember the last supernatural incident in Mount Tai?"
"Of course I remember. What's the matter?" Chen Feng didn't expect Liu Mu to suddenly talk about Taishan.
That was the place where he survived the tribulation. Although it caused some supernatural phenomena, this matter has basically passed, and it is impossible for him to leave any traces to be discovered by the country.
Liu Mu said: "Our people have been investigating in Mount Tai recently. Some time ago, they suddenly discovered a lot of meteorites in Mount Tai. These meteorites are very strange. Take a look at the photos on your mobile phone. I sent them to you." Chen Feng immediately looked at his mobile phone and saw several photos sent by Liu Mu.
When seeing the contents of these photos, Chen Feng's pupils shrank slightly.
The photo was taken at night and shows three stones, which appear to be the meteorites Liu Mu mentioned.
But these meteorites all emit a faint blue light.
"You should have seen it. After our investigation, we found that these meteorites were caused by the supernatural phenomenon that occurred on Mount Tai last time. They are most likely meteorites that fell from outer space recently."
"We have analyzed the light sources on the meteorites, but have not found any results. The Longke Institute hopes that you can study these meteorites."
"After all, in the field of special materials, there is currently no one in China who can compare with you."
But Liu Mu had been talking for a long time without getting a response from Chen Feng, so he asked, "Xiao Chen?"
"Xiao Chen, are you listening?"
Chen Feng came back to his senses, and then said to the phone: "Leader, I'm listening. Please have someone send these meteorites to me and I will study them."
"Okay, I'll send it over by special plane later."
Liu Mu said a few words of concern to Chen Feng and then hung up the phone.
Li Xiaorou seemed to have noticed something was wrong with Chen Feng, because after hanging up the phone, Chen Feng's face actually showed a solemn expression. She hurriedly asked, "Boss, what's wrong with you?"
Li Xiaorou rarely saw a serious expression on Chen Feng's face.
The last time Chen Feng showed this expression was when Xingfeng Mining was visited by the state.
But that was the only time she remembered.
"I'm fine. I have something to take care of. I'll come to see you later." After Chen Feng finished speaking, without waiting for Li Xiaorou to answer, his figure had disappeared from the spot.
Mount Tai.
It has been a while since the last supernatural incident, and many areas of Taishan have been reopened.
Also because of the supernatural events, the number of tourists visiting Mount Tai has increased during this period.
Human beings are always curious about the unknown and the puzzles, and this curiosity knows no race or country.
However, in recent days, part of Mount Tai has been blocked again and no tourists are allowed to enter.
A cordon was set up in the area, and many soldiers were standing guard around it.
Even the signal in this area was blocked.
In the blockaded area, a figure appeared silently, and no one noticed his arrival.
The figure was none other than Chen Feng.
Chen Feng glanced around and immediately raised his right hand.
I saw a small stone flying over from the depths of the dense forest in the distance, and then floating in front of Chen Feng.
This small stone emits a faint blue light, which is very weak.
It is completely invisible to the naked eye during the day and can only be seen at night.
"It is indeed spiritual energy!" Chen Feng held the stone and felt it carefully. After confirming that there was spiritual energy in it, his mood became heavy.
He didn't expect that there would be a meteorite containing spiritual energy on Mount Tai, and this spiritual energy was definitely not left over from his last tribulation.
Because this spiritual energy is so weak, so weak that it is unnoticeable and even chaotic.
Chen Feng looked up at the sky, with a thoughtful look in his eyes: "This meteorite came from outer space, which means that the spiritual energy also came from outside. I have to go and take a look."
After Chen Feng finished speaking, his figure soared into the sky. In just a moment, he arrived in outer space outside the earth.
With his current Nascent Soul cultivation level, reaching the space outside the earth would be a piece of cake for him.
The space outside the earth was dead silent, with no sound coming from anywhere.
In the low-Earth orbit nearby, Chen Feng could see numerous satellites and the twinkling stars in the distance.
Chen Feng immediately spread out his spiritual sense. At this moment, he did not hold back at all and used his spiritual sense to investigate with all his strength.
As his spiritual consciousness continued to extend, everything within hundreds of kilometers around him entered his mind clearly.
He did not find any spiritual energy in this area, it was still dead silent.
Only some dust and space junk left over from the space station were floating around.
But Chen Feng did not give up. He began to fly quickly in space.
At this moment, Chen Feng has returned to his silver-haired state.
As Chen Feng continued flying, he soon arrived at the moon area. Here, he also did not feel any spiritual energy.
But Chen Feng did not give up, but continued flying.
Chen Feng flew for three full days. He flew from the moon to Venus, and then to the sun, but still did not find any spiritual energy.
Chen Feng stayed in the space, looking into the distance.
His activities in the solar system have always been around the planets near the Earth, and the farthest he has been is around the Sun. He has never been anywhere farther.
Because to reach a more distant planet, it would take a very long time even at his speed.
Moreover, this is the solar system, and there is no spiritual power from heaven and earth for him to replenish. With his current spiritual power, it is impossible for him to fly the entire solar system.
Even if you use up all your spiritual energy, you can only fly less than a quarter of the area.
But Chen Feng did not give up. He began to head towards Jupiter, which is the largest star in the solar system besides the sun.
The reason why Chen Feng did this was that he found that this time was too important. A meteorite containing spiritual energy actually appeared on the earth!
This means that two situations arise.
The first is that other immortal cultivators appeared in the solar system, or other immortal cultivators passed by, causing the material in a certain area to be attached to the other party's spiritual energy.
Then the matter in that area that was attached with spiritual energy was drawn into the earth because of the gravity of the planet.
It is difficult for humans to observe tiny meteorites when they reach Earth.
Large meteorites are broken into tiny pieces after entering the Earth's atmosphere, and then form meteors that fall to the ground.
As for the second one, it is the phenomenon of spiritual revival in the solar system.
Over the years, Chen Feng has also learned a lot about the reasons for the formation of spiritual energy in the world of immortal cultivation.
For example, the star field where Canglan Star is located is a star field full of spiritual energy. Although the spiritual energy in the star field is very violent, as time passes, this star field will give birth to a star for cultivation.
The violent spiritual energy within those star fields is slowly transformed into spiritual veins within the planet because of the emergence of the cultivation star. The formation of spiritual veins also allows a cultivation star to possess spiritual energy.
The formation of the planets in the painting world is actually no different from the formation of the planets in the solar system.
For example, in the beginning, the earth was just some cosmic dust, but as time passed, these dust gathered together and evolved into the earth we have today.
"If it's the second one, it's fine, but if it's the first one..." Chen Feng's face was extremely solemn.
The second possibility is that the solar system's spiritual energy has experienced a brief recovery. It may take hundreds of millions of years, or even longer, to achieve a true recovery of the spiritual energy.
It won't have any effect on him at all.
But if it is the first case, and some immortal cultivator takes action near the solar system and leaves some spiritual energy behind, then the situation will be serious.
A cultivator who can cross the star field is at a level that Chen Feng cannot compete with at present, which is why he is in a heavy mood. (End of this chapter)
