How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 104

The Pride and Dignity of a Great Designer? What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money?

A person popped into Yang Chen’s mind: Liu Xueqing, the BEEP customer service representative he had just added on WeChat that morning.

Yang Chen quickly sent a WeChat message to customer service Liu Xueqing.

“Miss Liu, I encountered a difficult passenger who gave me a bad review because I didn’t meet her unreasonable demands. Could you please open the appeal window for me? I’ll upload the video, and you can help me review it and remove the bad review, okay?”

Soon, Liu Xueqing replied.

“I can, but I’m about to get off work, and it’ll be too late. I’m a little nervous about going home alone.”

When asking for favors, you have to be mindful of the other person’s situation. Yang Chen replied, “How about this? I’ll come to BEEP headquarters to meet you now, and I’ll treat you to dinner afterward. What do you think?”

Liu Xueqing: “Hehe… Okay! I’ll open the appeal window for you right away. Upload the video and let me take a look. If she’s really going too far, I’ll ban her account directly!”

Yang Chen: “Alright!”

*It seems that knowing a customer service representative is very useful. In the future, I won’t have to worry about getting penalized by bad reviews.*

Soon, the platform notified Yang Chen that the appeal window was open.

Yang Chen uploaded the video and waited for Liu Xueqing to take action.

A few minutes later, the system notified Yang Chen that the appeal was successful, and the unreasonable bad review had been removed.

Yang Chen smiled happily. He got the reward and got rid of the bad review. *Perfect.*

Yang Chen also had to keep his word and immediately drove to BEEP headquarters.

After a while, Liu Xueqing sent a WeChat message.

“Master Yang, I’ve already taken care of the bad review for you. I watched the video, and it made me so angry. That woman is too much. It seems like it’s not the first time she’s done this. I’ve already banned her account.”

*Jealousy makes people ugly, and anger makes people lose their minds.*

Liu Xueqing didn’t give that Qiqi any chance at all.

At this time, after showing the fans some ‘benefits’ [revealing content] in the bushes, Qiqi tidied up her clothes and walked onto the main road.

“Guys, don’t be angry. I’ll take a taxi now and try another driver,” Qiqi said flirtatiously.

Seconds later, Qiqi exclaimed, “Oh no, my BEEP account has been banned! Damn it! The reason for the ban is that I have illegal pornographic behavior. Damn it! Did that driver report me?”

Comments:

“Haha…”

“666, that guy is so righteous!”

“Haha… I’m dying of laughter. She didn’t succeed in seducing him, and her account was banned.”

…

At this time, in France, at the LVMH [Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy] headquarters building.

The secretary reported to President Arnault about Louis Vuitton being acquired by a Dragon Country [China] person for 25% of the shares.

As Europe’s richest man, Arnault has extensive business experience.

Suddenly, a Dragon Country person acquired 25% of Louis Vuitton’s shares. *Could there be some hidden motive?*

He quickly checked the acquisition records and found no irregularities.

The other party paid a 30% premium and bought Louis Vuitton’s shares with real money, which was legal and legitimate.

“It seems that this Dragon Country person is quite influential. Marie, call him and communicate with him to gauge his intentions behind the acquisition and whether he has any specific ideas or needs. If he is just a passive investor, we should try our best to win him over. It will be beneficial for us at the shareholders’ meeting in the future. If necessary, you can arrange for me to meet him.”

“Dragon Country is a crucial market for our LVMH Group. Having such a powerful Dragon Country partner will greatly assist us in further developing the Dragon Country market,” Arnault said.

The secretary nodded and quickly returned to the office to call Yang Chen.

Yang Chen was waiting for Liu Xueqing outside the BEEP headquarters building when Arnault’s secretary called.

When Yang Chen saw that it was a foreign number, he instinctively thought it was a spam call and hung up.

However, the phone rang again immediately.

Yang Chen had no choice but to answer it.

The other party said in English, “Hello, is this Mr. Yang Chen?”

Yang Chen passed the English Level 6 exam when he was in college, so he could handle simple conversations.

Yang Chen: “Yes! I am Yang Chen. Who is this?”

Secretary: “Hello, Mr. Yang Chen. I am Marie Ribery, secretary to the president of LVMH.”

Yang Chen: “Oh, Miss Secretary, hello. What can I do for you?”

Secretary: “We noticed that you recently acquired 25% of the shares of our group’s Louis Vuitton. The president asked me to call and inquire about your thoughts on Louis Vuitton and LVMH, and to seek any business advice you might have.”

Yang Chen immediately understood the secretary’s intention. *The sudden acquisition of such a significant number of shares would naturally make the major shareholders uneasy.*

To be honest, Yang Chen didn’t know much about luxury brands.

Since he was a child, he mostly used sports brands such as Li Ning and Anta.

Therefore, he didn’t want to interfere in anything related to Louis Vuitton.

*As long as the dividends are distributed annually according to the shareholding ratio, he doesn’t need to worry about other things.*

Yang Chen: “I am not an expert and don’t have a deep understanding of fashion. So, I’m very sorry, I can’t give you any advice. The only reason I acquired Louis Vuitton’s shares is that its sales in Dragon Country are very strong, and I want to reliably receive substantial dividends every year.”

Hearing this, the secretary was relieved.

The secretary continued to ask: “Okay, I understand. The president also asked me to extend his greetings to you and express his willingness to become good friends with you. If you need any assistance, please don’t hesitate to ask, and we will do our best to accommodate you.”

Although Yang Chen didn’t plan to interfere in the operation of Louis Vuitton, he was, after all, the largest individual shareholder with a shareholding ratio of 25%.

*He still had to enjoy the rights that a shareholder should have.*

So, Yang Chen replied: “I ordered a set of clothes at Misia in Hai City a few days ago, and I feel that it is a bit ill-fitting, a little too loose. Can you ask the designer in charge of customizing clothes for me at headquarters to come over and alter it for me? Also, I want to order two more sets to wear as work clothes, so that I can be a walking advertisement for your Louis Vuitton brand when I drive.”

Work clothes?

The secretary was stunned.

*Using a set of clothes worth 30,000 euros as work clothes?*

What kind of job is it that’s so high-end?

However, she then thought that someone who could acquire 25% of Louis Vuitton’s shares at a 30% premium must be extraordinary, so it wasn’t surprising to use this kind of clothes as work clothes.

But!

Still not right!

What did he mean by wearing them when driving?

*Did this level of big shot still need to drive himself?*

Unbelievable!

Secretary: “Mr. Yang, I’m sorry, may I ask what you do for a living?”

Yang Chen: “I don’t know if you have ride-hailing services over there, but you can think of it as a taxi driver.”

The secretary instantly felt a sense of disbelief.

*Damn, is the Oriental Dragon [China] so developed?*

*Is a taxi driver so rich?*

Then why are they still considered a developing country?

At this time, Yang Chen suddenly remembered his advertising company.

The company didn’t have its own work clothes yet.

*Why not use Louis Vuitton as work clothes?*

So, Yang Chen quickly said again: “By the way, I have one more thing that I need the headquarters designer to help me with.”

Secretary: “What is it? Mr. Yang, please tell me.”

Yang Chen: “I have an advertising company under my name. Because the company was just established, the employees don’t have work clothes yet. I want the headquarters designer to help me design men’s and women’s work clothes, and bring them over from the headquarters. I will pay whatever amount is due. Is that possible?”

The secretary was completely dumbfounded.

*He’s a taxi driver, an advertising company owner, and he can acquire 25% of Louis Vuitton’s shares, so how many identities does he have?*

The president had instructed her to try her best to meet all his requirements and win him over to stand on the same side as the president.

So, this small request must be fulfilled.

The secretary quickly replied: “No problem! I will contact Hiltabelis, the chief designer of Louis Vuitton, immediately and have her design it for you personally.”

Yang Chen: “Okay! Tell the designer that it must incorporate Dragon Country [Chinese] elements and be suitable for work clothes. Otherwise, I won’t approve it.”

Secretary: “No problem! Does Mr. Yang have any other requirements?”

Yang Chen: “Not for now. I’ll contact you again if I have any requirements in the future.”

Secretary: “Okay. Then I won’t disturb Mr. Yang. Goodbye.”

Hanging up the phone, the secretary calmed down and then quickly went to report to Arnault.

When Arnault heard that he was a taxi driver and an advertising company owner, he also had a headache and couldn’t understand Yang Chen’s true identity at all.

However, since he wanted to win him over, he still had to meet his requirements.

So, Arnault instructed the secretary to immediately do as Yang Chen requested.

The secretary called Hiltabelis, the chief designer of Louis Vuitton, and said, “Ms. Belles, the headquarters needs you to design men’s and women’s work clothes. You must complete the design as quickly as possible.”

Hiltabelis was furious and said, “Are you kidding me? The works I design are all exhibited at Paris Fashion Week. Now you want me to design work clothes? Did I hear you wrong, or did you make a mistake? Have I been reduced to designing work clothes? If my colleagues find out, won’t they laugh at me? If customers find out, won’t they laugh at us for being a roadside stall? My honor and pride do not allow me to design work clothes.”

The secretary was full of admiration for this chief designer. *A high-end designer must have the pride and dignity of a high-end designer.*

The secretary sighed and said, “I don’t want you to do this either. But… alas… you should have heard that someone acquired 25% of Louis Vuitton’s shares.”

Hiltabelis: “Yes. We are discussing it. I don’t know which rich person is so generous.”

The secretary replied: “You don’t have to guess. This is the rich man’s request. After the design is done, you personally take it to Daxia [China] to see him, and you have to alter the clothes on him.”

Hiltabelis: “…”
