How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 195

The Great War (1)

For the first time, the usually aloof Jin Ming was acting shy, softly saying, “What ‘boss’s wife’ are you talking about…” Tan Hongkai smiled and looked at Yang Chen, afraid of saying the wrong thing.

Yang Chen smiled and said, “Didn’t you want to eat at Tang Pavilion? So I bought it. Now you can come anytime you want, and it’s free.” Jin Ming was shocked and quickly stood up.

“Re… really? You… you bought Tang Pavilion?” Jin Ming was so surprised that she couldn’t speak properly.

Tan Hongkai: “It’s true. Mr. Yang just fully acquired our Tang Pavilion. Now all Si Jia stores in Dragon Country belong to Mr. Yang. Boss’s wife, you don’t need to doubt it. Mr. Yang really knows how to set the mood. When the boss’s wife said she wanted to eat here, you bought Tang Pavilion.” Jin Ming was too shocked to say anything. Buying such a high-end restaurant on a whim, how rich must he be?

“We’re just putting on a show, there’s no need to spend so much money, right?”

“Does this guy like me too? Is he trying to woo me? Actually… you’re so handsome, you don’t need to spend so much to win me over,” Jin Ming thought to herself.

“When you like someone, of course you want to give them the best of everything. Manager Lin, you agree, right?” Yang Chen said deliberately.

Manager Lin wanted to find a crack to crawl into, awkwardly laughed a few times, and couldn’t say a word. President Chen now had a better understanding of Yang Chen’s strength and said with a smile, “You young people really know how to have fun. Manager Lin, don’t make things difficult for the young couple. Quickly sign Miss Jin’s resignation letter. I’ll give your company some funds to test the waters, okay?” President Chen felt that Yang Chen could earn enough to acquire Tang Pavilion, so he must be very good at stock trading.

He couldn’t wait for Yang Chen’s investment company to start operating so he could invest funds and make money.

Manager Lin was so embarrassed. He tried so hard to get funds from President Chen, but ended up helping Yang Chen.

Now he had no choice but to agree, otherwise President Chen wouldn’t give his company a penny. Moreover, Jin Ming was determined to leave, and he could only delay it for a month at most.

Now that he knew Jin Ming had such an awesome boyfriend, Manager Lin had completely given up on her. So, sigh… just sign it.

“Since President Chen has spoken, I can’t be ignorant. I’ll sign Jin Ming’s resignation letter as soon as I get back to the company,” Manager Lin said reluctantly.

President Chen nodded with a smile and said, “Manager Lin, that’s the right way to think. There’s no point in wasting a month. It’s better to be a good person and avoid embarrassment in the future. Maybe you’ll have a chance to cooperate and trade stocks together.” Manager Lin forced a smile and nodded reluctantly.

At this moment, the lobby manager came over with two receipts. One was Yang Chen’s bill and total amount, and the other was Manager Lin’s table’s bill and total amount.

Although Yang Chen didn’t order many items, they were all high-quality, totaling 198,000.

Manager Lin’s table was slightly more expensive, costing 220,000. Looking at the bill, Manager Lin’s heart was breaking. If he had secured President Chen’s funds, not to mention 220,000, even 2.2 million would have been worth it, and the company would have reimbursed him unconditionally.

But now, President Chen clearly wanted to cooperate with Yang Chen, so this 22

0,000 would be difficult to reimburse. He didn’t secure the client and even increased Tang Pavilion’s revenue by 200,000 for nothing. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the angrier he became, the more useless he felt.

Yang Chen: “Manager Lin, thank you for your support. You must come to our Tang Pavilion for future business discussions.” Manager Lin smiled awkwardly and said, “Mr. Yang, don’t make fun of me. Who can afford to eat here? I’m not sure if I can get this reimbursed.” President Chen chuckled and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t eat your meal for free. I’ll give your company some funds later so you can have something to report back. I’m very happy today. I just returned from abroad and need to go back and report on my work. I’ll take my leave first. Mr. Yang, I’m looking forward to your company’s opening.” Yang Chen stood up and shook hands with President Chen, saying, “Okay! An annual return of 50% is too easy.” President Chen: “Haha… I’m relieved to hear you say that. Goodbye!” Yang Chen: “Okay. President Chen, take care. Manager Tan, please see President Chen out.” Tan Hongkai nodded and saw President Chen off.

Manager Lin was too embarrassed to stay and quickly followed him out. Only Yang Chen and Jin Ming were left in the office.

“What do you think? How was my performance as your boyfriend?” Yang Chen asked with a smile. Jin Ming covered her mouth and giggled, saying, “Not bad, very professional indeed. Do you treat many girls like this?” Yang Chen: “Not really, it depends on my mood and feelings. Some girls don’t appeal to me, even if they throw themselves at me, I’m not interested. Some girls are more to my liking, and I’m very willing to help.” Jin Ming: “Scumbag! Anyone who likes you will definitely be sad every day.” Yang Chen: “Whether I’m a scumbag or not is another matter. Can you please get up? My legs are numb from you sitting on them.” Jin Ming then realized that she had been sitting on Yang Chen’s lap, leaning in his arms.

She was so embarrassed that her fair face turned even redder, even her ears were flushed. She quickly stood up and said, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t realize it.” Yang Chen got up and stretched his legs, saying, “It’s okay, you can look for me next time you need help. Go back to the company and complete the resignation procedures as soon as possible. My company is waiting for you.” Jin Ming: “Okay! Then I’ll go back first. Oh, right, I didn’t bring that much money. Can I pay after I withdraw some money?” Yang Chen: “No need, it’s my own restaurant, how can I charge you for a meal? Go back, don’t worry about the bill.” Jin Ming: “That won’t do! You ordered these things to pretend to be my boyfriend and help me solve the problem, so I must pay the bill. Give it to me, I can still afford to withdraw some of my savings from the bank.” Is this the legendary independent woman?

Since she was willing to pay, he would fulfill her wish. She would soon become Yang Chen’s employee, and he would slowly compensate her in the future. After all, Yang Chen wasn’t the kind of person who liked to take advantage of others. Since he ordered the dishes, he would ultimately pay the bill.

Not to mention that Yang Chen wasn’t short of money now, even when he was relatively poor in the past, he would never take advantage of the people around him in such matters.

…Jin Ming smoothly completed the resignation procedures at Kexi Investment. After completing the handover of work, she and Huang Xiaomin left with their personal belongings.

3) Chapter 195: Teach Her a Lesson – What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money?

Kexi Investment.

Jin Ming couldn’t wait to call Yang Chen, and then went directly to the Sea Financial Building to connect with Yu Shishi.

Yu Shishi handed over all the materials of Xingchen Investment to Jin Ming, and she would be in charge of the company from now on.

The top priority for Jin Ming and Huang Xiaomin was to use their connections in the investment circle to quickly recruit enough employees and get the company running as soon as possible.

Yang Chen had two purposes for establishing Xingchen Investment. First, to make money and create a legitimate source for his wealth.

Second, to deal with Li Xiang’s Feixiang Investment. Since he wanted to poach people, why not directly poach Li Xiang’s traders?

Others might not be able to do it, but with Jin Ming’s reputation as a goddess in the investment circle, it would be easy for her to come forward.

Yang Chen was also very willing to invest, promising to increase everyone’s salary by 20%. For experienced and well-known traders like Jin Ming, an annual total income of 300-500W [3-5 million in local currency] was normal.

A 20% increase would be hundreds of thousands. Who wouldn’t be tempted? Only Yang Chen dared to give such high compensation because he had the [Stock God] skill rewarded by the system. He could buy limit-up stocks [stocks that have reached their maximum allowed price increase for the day] every day, so he didn’t have to worry about earning back the cost of expenses.

However, other investment companies wouldn’t dare to give such high compensation. With their profitability, they would definitely lose so much that their grandmothers would have to remarry and run away.

With the goddess of the investment circle personally recruiting, and a salary 20% higher than the current one, who would refuse?

At this time, in the chairman’s office of Feixiang Investment, CEO Yu Zhengqian was reporting the recent personnel changes in the company to Li Xiang.

Yu Zhengqian: “At first, I didn’t think much about it, thinking it was just a normal personnel change. But 12 people left without me realizing it, and I felt that this matter was not that simple. So I quickly came to report to you.” Li Xiang: “There must be a reason for so many people leaving at once. Investigate it for me!” Yu Zhengqian: “I’ve already asked someone to investigate, and I’ll have a reply soon.” At this moment, Yu Zhengqian received a text message.

After reading it, he handed it to Li Xiang. After reading the text message, Li Xiang’s face gradually darkened.

“Jin Ming… I’ve seen her, she’s quite attractive. Hehe… these people have all been seduced by her beauty. Talk to her and tell her to return the people she poached. If she doesn’t listen, don’t blame us for being rude,” Li Xiang said with a fake smile.

Yu Zhengqian nodded and immediately contacted Jin Ming to meet. During lunch break, Jin Ming met Yu Zhengqian at the entrance of the Sea Financial Building.

Yu Zhengqian went straight to the point and said, “Miss Jin, what you’re doing is a bit unethical. You poached people from our company without saying a word. That’s not right!” Jin Ming: “I just told them that I’m now the CEO, the company is just starting, there are many opportunities with broad prospects, and the key is that the compensation is very high. They took the initiative to come and join me, so why can’t I accept them? Don’t the employees of your Feixiang Investment have the right to change jobs?” Yu Zhengqian: “Miss Jin is really eloquent, I can’t argue with you. However, our Director Li asked me to bring you a few words, and I hope Miss Jin will remember them well. Return our employees the same way you poached them. Otherwise,

4) Chapter 195: Teach Her a Lesson – What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money?

you will be responsible for all the consequences. Miss Jin is still young, so there’s no need to narrow your path. I have delivered Director Li’s message, and what you do is up to you.” Jin Ming: “Oh, I see. Please also bring a few words to Director Li for me. In company competition, everyone relies on their own abilities. Although I am younger than him and my status is not as high as his, I do things entirely voluntarily. They come voluntarily, and I voluntarily hire them. I will not be arrogant because I am young, but I will never be inferior because I am young. If Director Li wants to get people back, then show some sincerity to impress them, instead of scaring me with a few words. Okay, that’s all I have to say, please trouble Manager Yu to let Director Li know. Thank you.” After speaking, Jin Ming turned around and went back.

The smile on Yu Zhengqian’s face gradually disappeared, replaced by a sneer and disdain.

“A newly established company dares to poach people from our Feixiang Investment, courting death! Just wait, I’ll see how you die!” Yu Zhengqian muttered to himself.

Yu Zhengqian quickly returned to the company and conveyed Jin Ming’s words to Li Xiang with embellishments. Li Xiang was furious and slammed the table, standing up and cursing, “A young girl dares to mess with me, she doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth! Find someone to teach her a lesson and let her know what the consequences are of going against me!” Yu Zhengqian nodded and turned to carry out the order.

With the efforts of Jin Ming and Huang Xiaomin, in just half a month, Xingchen Investment had transformed from an empty shell into a company with complete departments that could operate normally.

Since the company was just starting, Yang Chen didn’t want to take risks with unfamiliar investments, so he only did stock investments. After the market opened every day, Yang Chen would first select the stocks that would hit the limit up [stocks that have reached their maximum allowed price increase for the day] or rise sharply today, and then let Jin Ming and Huang Xiaomin lead the traders to use professional techniques to sneak funds in, wait for the stocks to hit the limit up, and then sell them off.

Although they couldn’t buy too much of each stock, there were thousands of stocks in the entire market, and many stocks rose every day. Accumulating small amounts could ensure a daily profit of 8-10%.

President Chen’s requirement of a 50% annual return was too difficult for others, but it was really too easy for Yang Chen.

Yang Chen screenshotted some of the recent operation records of the stock accounts and sent them to President Chen. After a while, President Chen called him.

President Chen: “Mr. Yang, are these the stocks you’ve been trading recently?” Yang Chen: “Yes! We’ve been trading these dozen or so stocks recently, and the returns are pretty good.” President Chen: “Haha… great, the returns look very good! Then I’ll give you 300 million to operate and see how it goes, okay?” Yang Chen: “Okay! Didn’t you want a 50% annual return? How about this, I won’t make any money from your 300 million, and I won’t charge any commission. I’ll give you all the profits in the first year, and I guarantee that the return rate will definitely not be lower than 80%. If I don’t achieve that, I’ll personally compensate for the difference. But I have a condition that I hope President Chen can agree to.” President Chen was immediately excited. Was there such a good thing?

Wouldn’t that mean that 300 million would turn into several hundred million in a year? Damn, with such a return rate, he would agree to any condition.

President Chen: “What condition, Mr. Yang, please tell me.” Yang Chen: “I have a list here, and I hope President Chen can use his social connections to help me bring them to my company. Tell him

5) Chapter 195: Teach Her a Lesson – What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money?

them that I promise them a 50% annual return here. If they don’t get that much return by the deadline, I will personally compensate for the difference.” President Chen: “Haha… no problem, these are all small matters. Um… how much funds did I say I would give you just now?” Yang Chen: “300 million!” President Chen: “Too little, let’s make it 500 million.” This old fox is really greedy.

However, it didn’t matter, anyway, he was using his capital to make money, and the money came from the stock market. Yang Chen didn’t need to give any money, as long as the amount wasn’t too large, it would be easy to operate.

Yang Chen: “Haha… no problem! I’ll send you the list, and I’ll leave everything to you.” President Chen: “No problem! Send it over!” After hanging up the phone, Yang Chen sent a list of some of Li Xiang’s important clients to President Chen.

President Chen looked at the list, and they were basically people in his circle of friends, or people in his circle of friends who could connect with him.

President Chen wasn’t sure if he could persuade them to put their funds with Yang Chen, but he was confident that he could pass the word to everyone. As for whether they were willing to come, it was their own business.

These were all Li Xiang’s important clients. As long as he pulled these people’s funds to Yang Chen’s side, he would lose his protection, and then Yang Chen could do whatever he wanted with him.

President Chen acted very quickly. After the two parties signed the contract, 500 million funds quickly arrived in Xingchen Investment’s account.

Yang Chen told Jin Ming and Huang Xiaomin to operate these 500 million funds well, and to prioritize the withdrawal of these 500 million funds when necessary.

In short, these 500 million were just a stepping stone. As long as they did it well, Xingchen Investment would be successful, and Yang Chen could successfully retaliate against Li Xiang.

If something went wrong with these 500 million, Xingchen Investment’s reputation would be ruined, and they wouldn’t be able to develop in the future.

President Chen contacted those people according to the list, but they didn’t believe in Xingchen Investment’s strength. They wanted to see how President Chen’s 500 million funds performed in the first month before deciding whether to transfer their funds over.

This was within Yang Chen’s expectations, so he emphasized to Jin Ming and Huang Xiaomin that they must ensure the safety and return rate of President Chen’s 500 million funds.

All the preparations were done, and now they were just waiting for the harvest season to arrive. Yang Chen wasn’t in a hurry and could wait slowly.

…After working hard all morning, Yang Chen found a place to eat. He hadn’t eaten much when Jin Ming called him.

Today was Singles’ Day, and all the traders in the company were single. Everyone wanted to go out for a dinner to celebrate, and they hoped that Yang Chen could also go, after all, he was the boss, and everyone wanted to meet him.

This was a good thing, and Yang Chen agreed. At seven o’clock in the evening, Yang Chen arrived at the Dynasty Bar. Most of the people who came here were business people, which was different from the explosive nightclubs. It was relatively safer and more orderly.

Yang Chen arrived at the super-large private room, and the employees were already waiting. Jin Ming and Huang Xiaomin quickly got up to greet him and introduce Yang Chen to everyone.

The employees were very sensible and shouted hello to the boss in unison. Yang Chen smiled and greeted everyone to sit down, saying, “Hello everyone, I’m very happy to meet you all, please sit down.” The employees quickly sat down.

“Boss, you’re too handsome. And you’re much younger than I imagined

6) Chapter 195: Teach Her a Lesson – What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money?

I thought you were a middle-aged uncle in your forties, but I didn’t expect you to be younger than us.”

“I always thought I was the most handsome, but now that I’ve seen the boss, I think I’m the second most handsome, and the first most handsome position belongs to the boss.”

“Boss, you’re so handsome, do many girls like you? Do we have a boss’s wife yet?”

“Is there even a need to ask? The boss is the very definition of a rich, handsome, and successful man in my mind.”

“Boss, if we don’t have a boss’s wife yet, I feel like I can give it a try.”

“Haha…”

“Boss, what do you usually do? Why don’t you ever come to the company?”… Obviously, the employees were very curious about such a rich, handsome, and successful boss and wanted to know everything about him.

Yang Chen said with a smile, “I’m a scumbag, I love one person at a time. To avoid being hurt, everyone should stop fantasizing about me.”

“Haha…”

“But I seem to have been hurt by you once.”

“I’ll accept being hurt by a scumbag at your level.”

“You women, can you have some integrity? You’re the ones who curse scumbags online every day, and now you’re begging scumbags to hurt you. So, what exactly do you want?”

“It’s not wrong for us to curse scumbags, but we’re willing to be hurt by scumbags like the boss. Can you usually meet a rich, handsome, and successful man like the boss? Being hurt by a one-in-a-million scumbag is also a kind of happiness.”

“Ew…”… Yang Chen signaled everyone to be quiet and continued with a smile, “I said I’m a scumbag because I don’t want you to have any ideas about me. Why do I see some female comrades getting even more excited?”

“Haha…” Yang Chen continued, “I don’t like sitting in the office, so I usually don’t go to the company. I believe in Jin Ming’s management ability and everyone’s professional ability, so there’s no need to go to the company and watch every day. My current profession is a Didi [local ride-hailing app] ride-hailing driver, driving and picking up passengers every day. I can relive life and earn some pocket money. If you need to take a taxi in the future, you must use Didi, maybe you’ll run into me and let you experience the feeling of the boss serving you.” A Didi ride-hailing driver?

Oh my god, is this the legendary experience of life?

“Boss, you’re too low-key! If I were as rich as you, I would want the whole world to know I’m rich. I would definitely go around picking up girls like Little Wang, changing a *wanghong* [internet celebrity] girlfriend every month. I wouldn’t go running a ride-hailing car.”

“So, you can only work, but the boss can become the boss.”

“Haha…”

“Honestly, boss, you’re so rich, don’t you think you’re wasting your life if you don’t enjoy it?”… Yang Chen: “I think the meaning of life lies in challenging yourself and trying different things, not in eating, drinking, and having fun. Although you are my employees, I still want to suggest that when you become financially free in the future, you should retire early and experience different things while you can still move. Everyone can only live once. If you haven’t tried many things, wouldn’t it be a pity?”

“The boss is right!”

“This is the kind of insight that only a tycoon like the boss can have. We can’t even think of these things.”

“I think I jumped ship to the right place. This is the boss I want.”

“Haha…” Yang Chen chatted with everyone a lot, so that everyone could have an understanding of him, and he could also have a understanding of the employees.

After a while, Jin Ming and several female employees went to the bathroom together. Yang Chen and the male employees stayed in the private room to sing and drink.

A few minutes later, Huang Xiaomin ran in anxiously and shouted, “Boss, something bad happened, Jin Ming has been stopped, they’re going to hit her!”
