How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 113

The women were chatting excitedly, and Yang Chen couldn’t help but glance at the older woman in the passenger seat.

The older woman immediately put on a stern face and said, “Focus on driving and don’t look around. Don’t play with the safety of so many people.”

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, saying, “Understood. From what you all were saying, it sounds like that TMD thing is very profitable. Are you all here to pick up your Rolls-Royces from the dealership?”

Anyone who knows about multi-level marketing [a business model that involves recruiting participants who earn money from both their own sales and the sales of people they recruit] knows that they are similar to pyramid schemes.

On the surface, they all have products, so it doesn’t seem to fit the definition of a pyramid scheme.

However, anyone who has done it knows that those no-name products simply cannot be sold through normal retail channels.

The only way for each person who joins to make money is to recruit new members, so that their recruits buy goods from them, and they earn the price difference from their downlines.

Therefore, after these people join a multi-level marketing brand, the people around them become their targets for recruitment.

The older woman in the passenger seat said, “Of course. We are all here to pick up our cars. Seeing that you are young and handsome, I’ll give you an opportunity to buy a Rolls-Royce. Join us, and you can pick up your car in at most three months.”

Anyone who can access the internet knows what’s going on with multi-level marketing schemes showing off their Maseratis and high-speed trains online.

It’s a bit ridiculous that they still want to trick Yang Chen into joining.

Yang Chen quickly smiled and replied, “Thank you, Madam, I have a job, so I won’t join you.”

“Driving for a ride-hailing app counts as a job?”

“Haha… Exactly! How can that be considered a real career? It’s not stable at all.”

“My ex-husband drove for a ride-hailing app, working more than ten hours a day, and only earned a little over ten thousand a month. But in Hai City, what can you do with ten thousand yuan? After deducting the mortgage and living expenses, I can’t even afford a set of cosmetics.”

“Handsome, the opportunity is right in front of you; don’t you dare not cherish it. If you miss this opportunity, you will miss the only chance in your life to buy a Rolls-Royce.”

…

Oh my goodness, these are definitely the core members of TMD; they are so persuasive.

If they encounter a housewife or someone similar, they will probably be persuaded to obediently pay for goods and join.

“Thank you for your kindness, everyone. I think the money I earn from driving for a ride-hailing app is enough for me,” Yang Chen replied.

In fact, Yang Chen wanted to say that he had already bought a Rolls-Royce, but he didn’t think it was necessary to show off in front of these people.

Besides, even if he said it, these people wouldn’t believe him, and he might even be ridiculed by them, which would be meaningless.

So, it’s better to just reply simply.

However, they didn’t seem to want to “let go” of Yang Chen, determined to recruit him into their downline.

“Young man, are you married yet?” the older woman in the passenger seat asked.

Yang Chen shook his head and said, “Not married. Girls nowadays are very materialistic. Who would want to marry a loser like me who drives for a ride-hailing app? The ones with good conditions look down on me, and I look down on the ones with poor conditions. I guess I have no hope of getting married in this lifetime.”

Zhao Feifei’s betrayal left a huge wound in Yang Chen’s heart. Plus, after he got money, many girls were very proactive, which led Yang Chen to really lose faith in women.

To solve his physiological needs, he might consider a casual relationship, but when it comes to marrying, he still needs to be cautious.

“Look, you’re wrong! Only incompetent men think women are materialistic. Why? Because they are incompetent and can’t meet the needs of their women. If they can meet all the needs of their women, would they still think women are materialistic?”

“That’s right! Because you don’t have money, you can’t stand it when girls talk to you about money, and you think girls are materialistic. If you were Little Wang [likely referring to Wang Sicong, a famous wealthy heir in China], would you think he got a materialistic internet celebrity girlfriend? You wouldn’t! Because you can afford the money they need!”

“So, young man, can’t you see it now? You can’t be successful driving for a ride-hailing app, and it’s difficult to find a wife. But as long as you join us and do as we say, you can pick up a Rolls-Royce soon. Are you still afraid of not having a girlfriend? By then, many girls will take the initiative to come to your door.”

“Young man, let’s add each other on WeChat [a popular Chinese messaging and social media app]. Later, I’ll send you the photos and videos of us picking up our Rolls-Royces, and you can think carefully about whether you want to join us.”

…

Yang Chen didn’t want his Moments [WeChat’s social feed] to be filled with various photoshopped screenshots of payments, so it’s better not to add them.

“Thank you for your kindness, everyone. I am very satisfied with my current state. We’ve arrived, everyone, please take your belongings and prepare to get off,” Yang Chen replied with a smile.

The women’s faces showed disappointment. Six mouths together failed to persuade Yang Chen to join, and they were a little disappointed.

The five women in the back were too crowded, so they quickly got out of the car as soon as it stopped.

The older woman in the passenger seat was not willing to give up and said to Yang Chen, “Young man, add me on WeChat, and I’ll give you a good review later.”

That sounds like a threat.

Yang Chen quickly replied, “Madam, don’t do that. I am really satisfied with my current life and don’t want to join you.”

“I didn’t say I wanted you to join us. I just wanted to add you on WeChat, so I can find you directly when I need a car in the future. Wouldn’t you have one more regular customer? I’ve already said so; if you still don’t add me on WeChat, then you’re not giving me face. If you’re so ignorant, then I won’t give you a good review later,” the older woman said.

The whole process was in the car, with surveillance and recording as evidence, so Yang Chen was not afraid of her bad review.

Using this as a threat only shows that she is too naive.

Yang Chen shook his head very firmly and said, “I’m sorry, Madam, I won’t add you. Please pack your things and get out of the car. Your companions are waiting for you to pick up your car.”

“Hmph! So ignorant! You deserve to drive for a ride-hailing app for the rest of your life! You must be the worst one driving for a ride-hailing app, not understanding human relationships at all. How can you have a stable customer base!” the older woman belittled, then got out of the car angrily.

Yang Chen curled his lips in disdain and whispered, “Someone like you can’t make a name for yourself doing multi-level marketing. Tsk!”

At this time, Yu Shishi, who had been waiting for a long time, ran over.

“Sir, you’re here. Who were those people just now? Why did you pick up so many women?” Yu Shishi asked with a smile.

“I had nothing to do, so I came out to drive for a ride-hailing app to pass the time. It just so happened that they were also here to pick up their cars, so I took the order and came over together. Wait for me; I’ll go park the car,” Yang Chen replied with a smile.

Yu Shishi nodded and quickly moved aside.

Yang Chen parked the car and then walked towards the entrance with Yu Shishi.

At this time, a car sales consultant walked up to them, smiling very politely and asking, “Hello, what car would you like to see?”

Yu Shishi quickly replied, “We are here to pick up a car, car owner Yang Chen.”

The sales consultant quickly said, “Ah, you are Mr. Yang Chen? Hello, hello. Our manager instructed us to take you directly to his office when you arrive. Mr. Yang, this beautiful lady, please come with me. I will take you to the manager’s office to find him now.”

Yang Chen nodded with a smile and followed her directly to the second floor from the stairs next to them.

At this time, the six women were communicating with the front desk about something…
