Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints-Chapter 186 - 142: Mr. Yang, Everyone Is Watching You Two

Chapter 186: Chapter 142: Mr. Yang, Everyone Is Watching You Two

"Sigh... Mr. Yang is right, I’m very ashamed. However, after we lost our voice, many policies were vetoed by the United Hundred Group, and I’m really helpless." Pu Chunhua said helplessly.

Yang Chen nodded and asked, "Then tell me what policies you have."

Pu Chunhua quickly laid out his ideas.

Currently, there are many chain supermarkets in the country, and their brands are more prominent than Longlian’s with more stores.

Simply relying on domestic business, Longlian Supermarket might never be able to make a comeback.

Therefore, Pu Chunhua came up with the idea of "domestic + overseas + supply chain."

Longlian Group acquires an overseas chain store of considerable scale and a supplier with import-export and distribution capabilities. This way, it can make the prices of imported goods the lowest, thus gaining the ability to compete with other supermarkets.

Now that national income has increased a lot, many people want to try foreign goods.

However, in people’s perception, foreign goods are expensive.

But foreign goods are actually very cheap abroad; comparing income and purchasing power, foreign goods are much cheaper than domestic ones.

So if we can bring down the price of imported goods, Longlian Supermarket can use this business to make a comeback, driving the domestic goods business to develop as well.

That’s roughly the idea, relying on imported goods to find a new path for a comeback.

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, "Mr. Pu’s idea is great, I think it’s worth a try. Do you have acquisition targets?"

Pu Chunhua nodded, "I’ve screened many companies and selected two: HiGo No.1 Store Group and Binhai Import and Export Trading Company. Both companies are of considerable scale, HiGo No.1 Store Group is valued at 1.5 billion, Binhai Import and Export Trading Company is valued at 1 billion. We can raise funds through issuing shares to acquire these two companies."

"It’s a great idea, so why doesn’t United Hundred Group agree?" Yang Chen asked.

Pu Chunhua sighed and said, "They’ve lost confidence in Longlian Group, don’t want to mess with it anymore, just want to sell, but I don’t have enough money to buy back their shares, so I can only watch opportunities slip by again and again."

Yang Chen nodded, "I support you, go ahead with this plan. You should immediately talk to those two companies."

Pu Chunhua nodded, "Understood. Thank you for your support, Mr. Yang. No matter if this method can save the company or not, I will do my utmost, leave no regrets, and not disappoint you."

Yang Chen, as always, played the role of a hands-off manager, leaving it to Pu Chunhua to handle.

...

At noon, Li Lianxiong called Yang Chen.

"Seven in the evening, go to the Peninsula Hotel’s banquet hall 1 to attend a gathering. I’ll arrange a matchmaking for you, make sure to perform well for me."

"No problem!"

After hanging up, Yang Chen immediately sent a message to Zhou Bin.

"Tonight I am going to the Peninsula Hotel’s banquet hall 1 to attend a gathering, will be taking a girl along pretending it’s a date. I’m fulfilling my commitment, the rest is up to you."

"No problem!"

...

Yang Chen suddenly felt like he was a middleman, making money from both ends just by stirring things up.

A while later, Yu Shishi sent Yang Chen a message.

"Sir, I asked the Big Four banks, they offer a maximum of 2.5 billion and a minimum of 2 billion, with the Haisang Financial Mansion valued at 3 to 3.5 billion, a 30% discount basically. If deciding to mortgage it, from signing to disbursement takes about a month and a half. Loan interest within one year is 4.5%, one to five years is 4.8%, above five years is 5.2%, all four banks offer the same."

"Alright, I got it!"

...

At seven in the evening, Yang Chen arrived at the Peninsula Hotel’s banquet hall 1 on time.

Li Lianxiong sent over the matchmaking photo. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Yang Chen was looking around when the girl walked up to him.

"Hello, I was sent by Chairman Li. My name is Zhang Jing. Follow me."

Yang Chen nodded and followed Zhang Jing to sit at an empty table.

After a while, Li Lianxiong, accompanied by Li Yan Yun and others, arrived, sitting right at the next table.

Li Yan Yun immediately recognized Yang Chen and quickly ran over to greet him.

"Yang Chen, you’re here too!" Li Yan Yun said with a smile.

Yang Chen quickly got up, pretending to be troubled, and said to Zhang Jing, "I’m just a passenger being bothered endlessly, it’s quite annoying."

Zhang Jing stood and smiled, "Hello, I am Yang Chen’s fiancée. If you need a ride, you are welcome to contact him. But if you have other thoughts, I hope you stop immediately and don’t affect our relationship."

Li Yan Yun’s smile disappeared, but she again forced a smile and said, "Understood, understood! Then... carry on, I won’t disturb you."

After speaking, Li Yan Yun quickly returned to her father’s side, grabbed a drink from the table, and started to drink.

Li Lianxiong didn’t stop her, letting her drink.

From a distance, Zhou Bin saw this and felt very satisfied, thinking to himself, "This guy actually kept his word, he followed through."

Yang Chen sent messages to both Li Lianxiong and Zhou Bin.

"I’ve handled the matter, future issues are none of my concern."

Li Lianxiong: "Hmm. Smart move. You can leave now."

Zhou Bin: "You kept your word, that 300k wasn’t wasted. I’m not here to bully anyone, you can leave now."

Yang Chen and Zhang Jing got up to leave.

While Zhang Jing did leave, Yang Chen didn’t, he turned back to the banquet site and went to Pu Chunhua’s table.
