How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 190

Chen Xing and Zheng Lihua quickly welcomed Zhang Xiang and the others to their seats. These were all important figures they usually couldn’t even dream of meeting.
Especially Zhang Xiang; if they angered him, they might face a lawsuit. Just these 10 tables were enough to fill the place.
Chen Xing was now certain that Yang Chen had brought these people to show off; there was no other explanation.
He just couldn’t understand how Yang Chen could gather these big shots, when Yang Chen was just a ride-hailing driver.
Chen Xing looked at Yang Chen with admiration, thinking, “So, Brother Chen is a hidden master! He has connections with so many awesome big shots. It seems like he’s just driving for fun. No wonder he dares to go against the platform; he might be even more powerful than the platform itself.” Of course!
If it weren’t for the system’s rule that he couldn’t compromise with strange passengers, and that he had to get bad reviews and complaints to get rewards, Yang Chen would have wanted to directly buy the Bip Bip platform to get bad reviews.
The Bip Bip platform was just a tool for Yang Chen to get rich. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even glance at it. At this moment, the wedding company staff came over, saying that it was already 11:30, and if they didn’t hurry up with the ceremony, they would delay the meal.
Normally, to get a good omen, the meal must be served before 12 o’clock. Chen Xing smiled and said to Li Dengfeng, “Young Master Li, I hope you can give Lihua and me some face and not make trouble at our wedding, okay?” Seeing so many big shots coming to bless Chen Xing, Li Dengfeng didn’t dare to act rashly.
He had already sent a text message to his dad, and they would talk about it when his dad arrived. In short, he couldn’t lose face today; he had to at least make Yang Chen apologize to his girlfriend.
Li Dengfeng smiled slightly and didn’t say anything. Cannon fodder Wang Shuai looked aggrieved. The groom’s social connections were so strong; he was definitely going to take those two slaps for nothing.
The groom and bride followed the wedding host onto the stage. Zheng Lihua reminded the host to proceed normally and not use the original script.
The original script highlighted Zheng Lihua’s dominance and belittled Chen Xing’s position in the family.
In short, it implied that Chen Xing was a kept man who had to listen to Zheng Lihua in everything. Abandoning this script and proceeding normally meant that the host would use the usual wedding vows, emphasizing equality between men and women, making both sides happy.
Chen Xing thought to himself, “Thanks to Brother Chen for bringing so many big shots to support me; otherwise, Lihua wouldn’t have abandoned the script that she had rehearsed so many times.” The host was stunned for a moment, but then he understood Zheng Lihua’s meaning and quickly nodded with a smile.
The ceremony began, and the host began to ask some festive questions. Unknowingly, they got to the question of having children, because normal weddings would definitely mention this issue.
“Then the bride should say something to her parents-in-law, let them be grandparents next year.” The people under the stage were holding back their laughter.
This question was normal, but it seemed a little inappropriate to use it on a 55-year-old bride.
However, Zheng Lihua happily cooperated and said, “Dad, Mom, Ah Xing and I will try to give you a grandson next year!” The whole audience laughed and applauded.
Everyone had been holding it in so hard; they took this opportunity to laugh it out; otherwise, they would have suffered internal injuries. Anyway, Chen Xing was now very happy and full of confidence, and the woman’s relatives and friends didn’t dare to laugh at him anymore.
Seeing that it was almost twelve o’clock, the host quickly ended the ceremony and immediately started the banquet. Although the woman’s relatives and friends had 100 tables, they still overwhelmingly outnumbered the man’s relatives and friends.
However, the man’s relatives and friends were all big shots, and any one of them was much more powerful than the woman’s relatives and friends.
The woman’s relatives and friends, who had just laughed at the man’s side for having no one and bringing a few ride-hailing drivers to fill the seats, were much more honest now. No one dared to say anything harsh, and no one dared to deliberately mock them.
Looking at the harmonious scene on both sides, Chen Xing was very gratified and very grateful to Yang Chen, because he knew that all of this was done by Yang Chen, not by his own ability.
When it came to the groom and bride toasting, whether it was the man’s or woman’s relatives and friends, they were all very polite, and no one showed any contempt for Chen Xing.
Chen Xing went from being a kept man to a dignified man. Even if he was still a kept man, with Yang Chen’s help, he could eat soft rice [rely on a woman for financial support] with confidence in the future.
And all of this was thanks to Brother Chen, and he must repay Brother Chen’s kindness today. Zhang Hu and the others didn’t come in vain today. The woman’s relatives and friends thought they were also big shots, but they were just using ride-hailing drivers to hide their identities.
Therefore, many business executives and fashionable beauties came over to toast them. To put it bluntly, if Yang Chen hadn’t brought so many big shots, they wouldn’t have had the chance to clink glasses with these people in their lives.
In short, the man’s side was in the limelight today. After a while, Li Dengfeng’s father, Li Xiang, arrived.
Zheng Lihua and Chen Xing quickly went to greet him.
“Chairman Li, thank you for coming to our wedding. Didn’t you say you weren’t coming? You see, if I had known you were coming, I would have waited for you to arrive before starting the banquet,” Zheng Lihua explained in a panic.
Li Xiang said with a smile, “I also received a text message from my son, saying that someone was bullying him, so I took the time to come and see. What’s going on? How could my son be bullied when he came to attend Chairman Zheng’s wedding?” Zheng Lihua quickly explained, “Nothing happened; how could anyone bully Young Master Li?” At this time, Li Dengfeng and Cheng Xinyu ran over and told their father about the situation with embellishments.
The guests began to talk.
“Who is this?”
“Li Dengfeng’s father, Li Xiang, known as the God of Investment, started with 30,000 yuan and now controls three 10 billion-level funds.”
“Damn! He is Li Xiang? Did Li Dengfeng call his father to fight to the death with the man’s side?”
“Don’t be ridiculous; the man’s side has the Aegis Security Group, which is enough to beat them. The only role of Li Xiang’s arrival is to safely take Li Dengfeng away, and it’s useless at all.”
“…Chen Xing heard Li Dengfeng clearly distorting the facts and quickly told the truth. Li Dengfeng glared at Chen Xing and said, “Don’t think that you can be arrogant in front of me just because you know these people. No matter how many big shots you know, you can’t change the fact that you are just a ride-hailing driver. Unless I don’t fall out with you, if I really fall out with you, I don’t believe they will fall out with us for you!” Chen Xing was indeed frightened by Li Dengfeng’s words and didn’t dare to argue with him.
These people were all brought by Yang Chen, and Chen Xing didn’t know what their relationship with Yang Chen was, so he didn’t dare to anger Li Dengfeng, and he didn’t want to cause trouble for Yang Chen.
Li Xiang said with a smile, “It turns out they are all small things. I’ll go talk to them.” Li Xiang came to the man’s relatives and friends area and went forward to greet Huang Lexi, Qiu Yuhong, Xue Yinong, and Zhang Xiang.
Li Xiang was not very familiar with them, but he had seen them at some major commercial events.
They were familiar faces, but they didn’t have any friendship. However, that was enough; it was enough to know each other’s identities.
Li Xiang patted his son’s shoulder and said to Qiu Yuhong and others, “This is my son, Li Dengfeng. It’s normal for young people to have conflicts. Who doesn’t have a temper when they are young? Please give me some face and don’t be as knowledgeable as him, okay?” Li Dengfeng immediately said, “Dad, you are wrong; I don’t have any grudges with them; it’s that ride-hailing driver who is courting death.” Li Xiang glared at his son and then smiled and said to Qiu Yuhong and others, “The child is young and energetic; don’t be offended. Today is Chairman Zheng’s happy day; we won’t stay here to make you uncomfortable. Take your time; we’ll leave first.” Qiu Yuhong and others nodded with a smile and ignored him.
Li Xiang left with his son in his arms. Zheng Lihua and Chen Xing quickly sent them out of the hotel before returning. Li Dengfeng said very unconvinced, “Dad, what are you doing? I called you here to help me get ahead, not to take me away! If I wanted to escape, I would have escaped by myself just now; did I need to call you here?” Li Xiang glared at his son and said, “Qiu Yuhong and others are all here for the groom, and that ride-hailing driver is the groom’s friend. If you do it here today, you will inevitably conflict with Qiu Yuhong and others. Can’t you use your brain? We can easily solve a ride-hailing driver; why should we increase the difficulty for ourselves and conflict with Qiu Yuhong and others? After today, isn’t it much easier to slowly find him to play with? Qiu Yuhong and others are the groom’s friends, not the ride-hailing driver’s friends. I don’t believe they will fight us for this kind of relationship.” Li Dengfeng suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment and said with a smile, “Dad, you are still experienced.” Cheng Xinyu next to him also flattered, “Uncle has rich experience in the world.” Li Xiang smiled and said, “Okay, I have something else to do; I’ll go first; you guys have fun.” Li Dengfeng and Cheng Xinyu sent Li Xiang away and then went to the shopping area to buy things.
After the wedding banquet, Yang Chen sent Ju Yiyi and others away and called Qiu Yuhong and others to the CEO’s office.
Huang Lexi then learned that Yang Chen not only acquired the equity of the Haiya Atlantis Hotel but also the equity of Aegis Security and Zhang Sanfeng Law Firm and was also good friends with Xue Yinong.
It seems that the ride-hailing driver is just a guise, and Yang Chen’s true identity must be not simple. Huang Lexi: “Mr. Yang, why didn’t you reveal your identity just now? Just kill him! I later heard the process from your ride-hailing driver brothers, and I was so angry that I almost wanted to go up and slap those two bitches.” Yang Chen explained with a smile, “Today is Chen Xing’s happy day; I don’t want to do it at his wedding banquet. However, Li Dengfeng, that bastard, is too arrogant; he has to slap me twice; I can’t just let it go. Who of you knows Li Dengfeng’s background?” Zhang Xiang said, “I know. Li Dengfeng himself graduated from Harvard and was in Los Angeles for the past two years and only came back last year. His father gave him 2 billion yuan to play with. This guy is famous for being able to pretend; he doesn’t like ordinary projects; he must do high-tech or big projects. He himself doesn’t have much ability, mainly because his father, Li Xiang, is more powerful. Li Xiang took 30,000 yuan to enter the stock market and used 20 years to achieve the achievement of controlling three 10 billion-level funds, which is indeed very powerful and is called the God of Investment by people in the investment circle. Many rich people directly throw money at him and let him play with it, as long as they give them a dividend of no less than 30% at the end of the year. However, after all, he is called the God of Investment, and he doesn’t want everyone’s funds. Many bigwigs, not only business bigwigs but also some political bigwigs, throw money at him, and he doesn’t use it. So… Li Xiang is indeed a bit difficult to deal with; Li Dengfeng is not to be feared.” God of Investment?
Hehe… If it was before, Yang Chen would really believe in the God of Investment. But since he met Zhang Long, he often learned about investment knowledge from him, and he still knows a little about the investment circle in Long Country [China].
Yang Chen doesn’t know much about foreign capital markets. The capital market in Long Country, especially the stock market, is completely insider trading, and the dealer manipulates stock prices to harvest retail investors. There is no such thing as technology and value investment.
People who often speculate in stocks know that a certain stock has inexplicably risen to the limit, and the company will issue good news after the market closes. Isn’t this a proper dealer knowing insider information in advance?
Using 30,000 yuan to make three 10 billion-scale funds, it seems that Li Xiang has not played less insider trading.
Yang Chen: “If Li Xiang doesn’t interfere in the matter between me and his son, I will let him go. If he dares to interfere, then I will kill him together. What kind of bullshit God of Investment; if he doesn’t engage in insider trading, I don’t believe he can do it with 30,000 yuan. Everyone, please help me and use your relationships to collect evidence of illegal and criminal activities of the Li family and his son. I wonder if it is possible?” Huang Lexi: “No problem! I know a lot of bigwigs in the investment circle, and I can inquire about it.” Qiu Yuhong: “This is easy to handle; our Aegis Security Group’s intelligence gathering ability is still very strong, and it just so happens that we can show Mr. Yang our ability in this regard.” Xue Yinong: “I can also ask some friends to inquire about it; it’s a small matter.” Zhang Xiang: “Our firm has friends at home and abroad, and we should be able to find out something.” Yang Chen nodded and said, “Then I’ll leave it to you. You all go back first.” Qiu Yuhong and others got up and left.
Yang Chen had said many days in advance that he would come on the 10th, and Huang Lexi had also notified the shareholders to come to the meeting today.
At this moment, the shareholders are playing in the hotel’s leisure and entertainment area. Yang Chen ordered Huang Lexi to notify the other shareholders to come to the meeting room within ten minutes.
The new major shareholder held the first shareholders meeting, and the other shareholders did not dare to neglect and ran over quickly.
Looking at the panting shareholders, Yang Chen said with a smile, “Hello everyone, I am Yang Chen. I am very happy to meet you, and I hope we can get along well in the future and make the Haiya Atlantis Hotel better together. Let’s introduce ourselves; I’ll get to know everyone first.” The shareholders quickly introduced themselves.
There are a total of 12 shareholders, and Yang Chen should be most worried about the second shareholder, British Investment from Ying Country [England], whose shareholding ratio is as high as 25%.
If they can join hands with other shareholders, they can really bring some trouble to Yang Chen, who holds 38% of the shares.
However, the other shareholders are all from Long Country, which is beneficial to Yang Chen to a certain extent. Yang Chen still adheres to his consistent style: as long as there is no problem with the company, he will be a hands-off shopkeeper and wait for dividends at the end of the year.
A day later, Zhang Xiang and others gave Yang Chen replies one after another. Li Xiang and his son Li Dengfeng did have many illegal and criminal activities.
First, let’s talk about Li Xiang. As Yang Chen said, this guy’s reputation as the God of Investment is completely based on insider trading.
In the early years, he obtained insider information from some listed companies’ board secretaries in advance. He ambushed funds in advance, and when the good news was released, the stock price rose to the daily limit, and he shipped out.
Li Xiang’s famous battle was Shixian Liquor. In those years, Shixian Liquor was ST processed [Special Treatment, a warning for poorly performing companies] by the China Securities Regulatory Commission due to accounting fraud, and the stock price once fell to yuan/share.
Li Xiang estimated that the company’s sales in the past year were good by estimating the sales of Shixian Liquor in major supermarkets and liquor wholesale markets.
However, Li Xiang, as an outsider, could not see the specific sales data. At that time, he had 200,000 cash on him, and he gave all 200,000 to the board secretary of Shixian Liquor and asked for the company’s sales data for the past year, as well as order data for the next year, and other good news.
Afterwards, he went home to sell the house, borrowed money from relatives and friends, and borrowed usury loans [loans with extremely high interest rates], etc., and raised a total of 5 million yuan, and then used the 5 million to add 5 times leverage with the brokerage firm to exchange for 25 million funds and finally accurately copied the bottom when Shixian Liquor fell to yuan/share.
Later, Shixian Liquor announced its performance in the previous year, realizing a net profit of 100 million yuan. You must know that 100 million yuan 20 years ago can also be said to be an astronomical figure, and many listed companies did not have so much sales.
Afterwards, the stock price of Shixian Liquor rose all the way, and it did not stop until it rose to 21 yuan. Li Xiang also became a god in that speculation.
As his reputation increased and his financial strength became stronger, his investment operations went smoothly, and he achieved his current achievements.
But the premise of his smooth sailing is that there are many insider information of listed companies. His basic operation routine is to first select a suitable listed company and then buy off important positions such as the company’s board secretary and learn from these people when the company’s good news will be released, lurking about a week in advance, and when the good news is released, he will directly pull up and cash out.
Retail investors familiar with Li Xiang know a word called “One-word guillotine”. Li Xiang often pulls the stock to the daily limit and then finds the right opportunity to smash it to the daily limit in an instant to complete the shipment, without giving retail investors any chance to escape.
Now Li Xiang has bought off many listed
Evidence of important figures such as the company’s board secretary has been placed in front of Yang Chen, and it is time for his myth of the God of Investment to be shattered.
Let’s talk about Li Dengfeng. Li Dengfeng bragged at the wedding before that he invested 2 billion yuan in coal mines. This is indeed true, but when he was selecting the mine manager, he supported his own people to fight for the position of mine manager, and when an accident occurred, he spent money to buy off the workers to unify the caliber and said that the victims’ own operations were not standardized, resulting in the accident.
For example, he said that he bought a villa worth more than 10 million meters of gold in Los Angeles, which is also true. However, the owner of that villa was shot and killed by his friend. He picked up a villa with a market price of 19.8 million meters of gold for 9.8 million meters of gold, and he witnessed his friend killing people and helped his friend destroy the body.
Li Dengfeng’s friend is called Marcus Hilder, who was originally a black Mexican and later smuggled to the United States and settled in the United States.
However, Hilder often contacted the black Mexican side and did “Flour” [slang for drugs] business together. Li Dengfeng also knew about this and even helped Hilton introduce customers, and he himself often smoked D hemp [marijuana] when he was in the United States and still maintains this habit after returning to China.
In order to get D hemp, he even invested in emerald mines in the South Myanmar region in the name of investment and usually went there in the name of inspecting the mining area to get goods to meet his needs.
Li Dengfeng has many other problems, such as tax evasion, using shell companies to make false contracts, thereby falsely increasing performance, or evading taxes, etc.
Originally, many evidences were not easy to obtain, but it was not difficult for the mercenary branch of Aegis Security Group abroad to obtain these evidences.
Not long ago, Qiu Yuhong had just gone to the United States to deal with the dispute between the mercenary branch and the black Mexican gang.
However, these evidences have not been fully sent to China, and it will take a few more days. Yang Chen can only wait patiently for a few more days. Once the evidence arrives, he can first solve Li Dengfeng.
If Li Xiang dares to stand up for his son, then Yang Chen will destroy him together. At this time, Li Dengfeng was not idle either.
He also called people to infiltrate the Bip Bip platform and found out the hot spots of Yang Chen’s usual activities. Finally, one day, they tracked Yang Chen.
…Yang Chen also wants to set up his own investment company. However, he is not particularly proficient in investment, and he cannot find reliable traders, etc.
He has already given Yu Shishi an order to let her set up the investment company as soon as possible, especially to find an experienced and sophisticated trader to manage the company’s investment operations.
After lunch, Yang Chen prepared to find a cool place to rest for a while. This is something he must do every day. If he doesn’t sleep at noon, he will collapse in the afternoon.
The front is a red light, and Yang Chen slowed down. At this time, a Porsche Cayenne wanted to force its way in front of him.
People who have driven a car understand this feeling. The safety distance that I left is not for you to force your way in.
And the front is a traffic light, and all the cars are slowing down. Are you awesome if you drive a Porsche Cayenne?
Yang Chen just didn’t let it, and slightly accelerated to force the Cayenne back. Cayenne driver: “What are you doing? Are you not looking at the road? Let me in!” Yang Chen glared at him and said:
“What’s your hurry?” Cayenne driver: “I’m not in a hurry; there’s space in front of you; I just want to force my way in!” Yang Chen: “What are you doing? That’s the safety distance I left; is it for you to force your way in? Get out!” Cayenne driver: “Hey! Are you looking for trouble? If you have the guts, stop the car in front, and see how I deal with you! You dare to be arrogant with me in a broken Volkswagen!” The next second, the Cayenne forced its way in again.
It’s a solid line to change lanes and force your way in, and you’re still talking nonsense. This is the first time I’ve met such an arrogant driver after driving for so long.
Yang Chen still didn’t give way, and the Cayenne was forced back again.
“Get out of the car in front! Damn it, if you have the guts, get out of the car!” the Cayenne driver shouted. Yang Chen ignored him and safely passed the traffic light.
Yang Chen came to a river and prepared to find a place to park and rest. At this time, the Cayenne chased up and directly forced Yang Chen to stop and then took out a baseball bat from the car and rushed towards Yang Chen.
It just so happened that another car came behind and sandwiched Yang Chen’s car in the middle. He couldn’t drive away or back up.
The car behind also stopped, and the people inside also walked out with baseball bats. Yang Chen took out his mobile phone and found that there was no signal here.
“Damn it! It can’t be such a coincidence, right?” Yang Chen muttered to himself. The Cayenne driver laughed and said, “You don’t need to look; there are signal jammers in both of our cars; you can’t ask anyone for help. Come down; I won’t smash your car. If you don’t come down, I’ll smash your car and then smash you. I’ve been following you for several days, and I know you’ll definitely find a place to rest where no one is after you finish eating. Come down; don’t be stiff; it’s meaningless.”
