Chapter 1052: Chapter 143: A Billion Dollar Bonus Chapter 1052: Chapter 143: A Billion Dollar Bonus “What happened?” An Nuonuo curiously asked from the car.

Jiang Xu grinned and said, “Great news, you’ll find out soon.”

An Nuonuo just said “Oh,” and did not ask further.

After driving for about half an hour, they arrived at the destination.

An Nuonuo recognized this place; it was the headquarters of the Moon Project.

Her heart stirred, guessing what might have happened.

Only after a series of checks, the car was allowed to enter.

As soon as they got out of the car, Jiang Xu hurriedly pulled An Nuonuo’s hand and rushed to the headquarters command center.

“Boss, boss,” the project director greeted with a bow, excitedly announcing, “We did it! The third phase of the moon exploration is complete!”

An Nuonuo’s face showed surprise, “That was quick?!”

She was well aware of the three steps involved in the moon exploration.

The last step was to build structures on the moon that could completely sustain themselves.

“Yes,” said the project director. “The last major challenge was extracting water quickly on the moon.

After much hard work from our staff, we finally succeeded.”

Jiang Xu said, “Quickly, switch to the internal view of the moon.”

The next second, the huge screen switched to show the inside of the moon.

There were many pits on the moon.

The buildings were constructed within these pits, looking very sci-fi.

The project director explained, “We’ve completely solved the problems of energy, food, and air.

We draw solar energy and then convert it into starch.

There are twelve air-producing machines.

The oxygen produced in one day is enough for a million people for a week.

We are nearly solving the water resource issue similarly.

Next, we plan to grow some suitable crops on the lunar surface.

The lunar bases we have built can accommodate one million people.

Of course, that’s just the basic accommodation.

If one desires better living conditions, materials must be transported from here.”

After hearing this, An Nuonuo felt like she was hearing a fantastical tale.

The speed of technological progress was just too great.

Jiang Xu asked, “So, what’s your next move?”

“If we are going commercial, we must develop rockets that can be reused multiple times,” the project director answered. “There are still several challenges to overcome.

Another is the fuel aspect, where I believe there’s still room for improvement.”

“Right,” Jiang Xu nodded, smiling, “You’re doing great.

My next hope is for you to solve the gravity problem on the moon.

Make it a completely habitable place for humans, turning it into humanity’s second homeland.”

This was an immensely ambitious goal.

It would probably take decades to achieve.

But no worries, Jiang Xu felt just like a vibrant young man in his twenties.

He could surely wait.

The project director nodded vigorously.

If this goal is achieved, it will be a historic achievement for him.

Just thinking of such a scenario was incredibly thrilling, making his body shiver with excitement.

“Alright,” Jiang Xu declared loudly. “As I’ve told you before, upon completion of the third phase, every person involved in this project will receive a bonus of a hundred million.

No welshing; just wait for your money.

And this money will be tax-free, directly credited to your accounts.”

At that moment, the site erupted in cheers.

“Long live the boss!”

“Thank you, boss!”

“I’m willing to dedicate my life for the boss!”

“Wuu wuu wu, I’m so moved to be working under the world’s best boss.”

…

Such a direct and generous boss must be universally liked.

Jiang Xu smiled and sent a message using his phone.

Within a minute, everyone involved in the project received the message.

[Your account at XX bank has received a deposit of 100,000,000!]
This efficiency was unmatched.

Everyone was so excited they started hopping on the spot.

Then they hurriedly shared this great news with family or directly posted it on Kuai Yin.

It immediately caused a huge outcry.

In no time, the news topped the trending search and held its position firmly.

Some spectators expressed skepticism.

Could such a generous boss really exist in this world?

But those who had been, or were currently, employed under Jiang Xu’s company started to clarify.

[I was once a junior assistant in one of Mr. Jiang’s subsidiary companies. With a diploma and a monthly salary of ten thousand, and combined meal, transport, accommodation, and communication subsidies totaling five thousand, I would have continued if not for winning fifty million in a lottery.]
[I just joined the company last year, a mere employee without significant contributions, yet I received an annual bonus of three hundred thousand at the end of the year. I swear as long as they don’t fire me, I’ll work my hardest!]
[You can’t find such a good boss anywhere else in the world.]
…

Through many such clarifications, netizens both domestic and international came to realize how well Jiang Xu’s company treated its employees.

Everyone was green with envy, nearly tearing their screens apart.

Then, countless job seekers rushed to send their resumes.

The email servers nearly crashed.

Jiang Xu wasn’t aware of this yet.

He had just signed another document.

Regarding continued investment in the ‘Moon Exploration Project’.

It was divided into three allocations:
The first payment was fifty billion.

The second, sixty billion.

The third, ninety billion.

A total of two hundred billion in funds.

He wanted all remaining challenges to be tackled as soon as possible.

He couldn’t wait to start making money.

Then he’d add some speculative elements to it.

For instance, going to the moon might induce unexpected changes in the human body.

Perhaps long-term dwelling could slow ageing?

Or eating crops grown on the moon might make people stronger?

This would be a huge temptation for those wealthy individuals with little time left.

For those with limited lifespans, taking a gamble on the moon would certainly be many tycoons’ choice.

Anyway, Jiang Xu had many ways to siphon money from these top wealthy individuals.

An Nuonuo, standing by his side, watched him sign the document and smiled lightly.

Her eyes sparkled with anticipation, “From the look of things, it won’t be long before we can go play on the moon.”

They had already visited nearly all the fun places on Earth.

“Indeed,” Jiang Xu laughed. “After playing on the moon, we’ll think of ways to visit Mars, Jupiter, and other neighboring planets. Let’s explore them all.

It wouldn’t be a wasted life then, haha!”
