How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 303

Want to Join Forces Against Yang Chen?_What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money?

Want to Join Forces Against Yang Chen?

In the morning, Yang Chen was eating breakfast while watching the Oriental Selection [a popular Chinese livestream e-commerce platform] live stream.

At 8:30 AM, besides the host Youyou, there were only five people in the live stream, including Yang Chen.

Indeed, everything is difficult at the beginning.

At this moment, Youyou was also eating breakfast, but she wasn’t just eating; she was introducing how to say each item in English.

“How do we say ‘面包’ (miàn bāo, bread)? Everyone commonly uses the word ‘bread’…”

Although there were very few people in the live stream, it didn’t affect Youyou’s serious attitude at all.

At this moment, someone sent a bullet screen [scrolling comments] message.

“Girl, come back after the live stream ends. Your grandma and I went to the supermarket and bought fresh ribs. Come home for dinner.”

“Girl, don’t be disturbed by your grandpa, focus on your work.”

“Daughter, I’m going to work. You work hard. Your mom will come in to keep you company after she’s done.”

Yang Chen was instantly stunned. This was too tragic. Out of the 5 people in the live stream, besides him, the other four were Youyou’s grandparents and father, plus one real viewer.

Wasn’t she getting any organic traffic at all?

Youyou looked at the bullet screen messages and smiled happily.

However, she didn’t read the messages aloud, nor did she say anything special to her family. She continued to introduce the different ways to express “bread.”

It must be said, this teacher was quite dedicated.

Yang Chen immediately rewarded her with ten carnivals [virtual gifts on the platform].

Youyou’s expression visibly brightened, but she still didn’t stop and insisted on finishing her explanation of bread.

Then she quickly said, “Thank you for the carnivals, Immortal Star! Thank you, thank you. Have you had breakfast? If you haven’t, you can try our breakfast bread. It’s now 9.9 RMB [Chinese Yuan] with free shipping. You can give it a try if you need it.”

To encourage this teacher, Yang Chen really ordered two boxes.

Youyou’s expression became visibly happier again, and her voice got louder.

It’s good to train them while there aren’t many viewers.

…

After eating breakfast, Yang Chen didn’t immediately go out to drive.

Yu Shishi cut a fruit platter and placed it next to the pool. Yang Chen, along with her and Maya, sunbathed and ate fruit, occasionally rubbing sunscreen on each other. Life was quite comfortable.

If people don’t have any special pursuits, life can be very comfortable.

Forget about the last special mission, isn’t it great to enjoy the sun and beauties?

After a while, Xue Yinong also came over with her swimsuit. She also wanted to sunbathe with Yang Chen.

Sunshine doesn’t cost money, and more girls mean more happiness.

He spent the whole day at home with three beauties. In the evening, after dinner, Yang Chen drove out.

If he didn’t go out, his body might not be able to handle it.

It was the evening meal time, so Yang Chen put on his delivery uniform and picked a milk tea order to deliver.

Soon, Yang Chen delivered the milk tea to Jiangjin Restaurant.

As soon as Yang Chen handed the milk tea to the customer, a waiter excitedly ran over and said, “Are you Senior Yang Chen?”

Hmm?

Yang Chen, and a senior, so she must be a junior from the University of Finance and Economics?

Although the junior was wearing a waiter’s uniform, it couldn’t hide her beautiful face. It’s just that her figure was a bit petite and needed further development.

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, saying, “That’s right! I’m Yang Chen. Are you a junior from the University of Finance and Economics?”

The girl immediately nodded excitedly, saying, “Hello, Senior! My name is Zhen Jin, and I’m from the Class of 2021, majoring in Finance. I saw you once at school and remembered you. I heard them say you’re driving a ride-hailing car to experience life. Have you switched to delivering food to experience life now?”

Yang Chen: “Haha… That’s right! It’s boring to always drive a ride-hailing car, so I occasionally deliver food as a change of pace. Are you working here for the summer?”

Zhen Jin: “Yes! Staying at home is just wasting time, so I might as well come out to work and train myself.”

Yang Chen: “Okay! That’s good. Then go ahead and get busy. If the supervisor sees you chatting here, they’ll scold you.”

Zhen Jin: “Okay! Can I add you as a friend, Senior?”

Before Yang Chen could answer, Liu Xinxin and a few people walked out of the restaurant together.

Seeing Yang Chen in his delivery uniform, Liu Xinxin immediately asked with a puzzled expression, “You… why are you delivering food?”

Yang Chen looked over. Liu Xinxin’s face still had a bandage on it, and it was swollen badly. It seemed she was beaten pretty badly by those influencers.

Yang Chen smiled and replied, “Why should I tell you why I’m delivering food?”

Liu Xinxin: “Damn! Still acting arrogant, huh? Mr. Li, this is the shareholder of Longmei Hospital I told you about. I don’t know how he ended up delivering food.”

Mr. Li was holding Liu Xinxin’s secretary’s hand. He said to Yang Chen with a smile, “Yang Chen, right? I heard you’re a shareholder of Longmei Hospital. Why are you delivering food? Oh, let me introduce myself. I’m Li Xin, the chairman of Longchen.”

Yang Chen: “Longchen, the Longchen Group that makes BMWs?”

Li Xin nodded, saying, “Yes, that’s the Longchen Group. It seems our Longchen Group is quite famous.”

Yang Chen sneered, saying, “Of course. A Chinese car company that’s completely relying on its joint venture with BMW to survive, with its own business in a complete mess and about to go bankrupt and be reorganized. You guys are too famous!”

Li Xin: “You…”

Longchen does have three independent brands of cars, but they are rarely seen on the streets now.

The only source of profit for Longchen Group is the Longchen BMW produced in a joint venture with BMW.

But relying solely on this one business to make money, while the other businesses are losing money, the company can’t hold on.

That’s why there are rumors in the market that Longchen Group is about to undergo bankruptcy reorganization.

BMW is demanding that the joint venture car business be separated and that BMW invest 2 billion to acquire 25% of the shares, so that BMW will hold 75% of the joint venture company’s shares, achieving absolute control of the joint venture company.

If Longchen Group does not agree to this plan, BMW will cancel the authorization, and the two parties will break up when the contract expires.

It can be said that Longchen Group has no say at all and is completely dependent on BMW’s intentions.

And the boss of such a company dares to come out and show off.

Yang Chen smiled and said to Zhen Jin, “Junior, hurry back to work. I’m leaving. I have to continue delivering food.”

Zhen Jin nodded and turned to go back.

Liu Xinxin deliberately tried to make trouble, bumping into her horizontally. Zhen Jin was petite and was knocked away.

Yang Chen quickly stepped forward to help Zhen Jin up, but her knees and right elbow were already bruised and bleeding.

“Liu Xinxin, are you really trying to die?” Yang Chen said angrily.

Li Xin smiled and waved to the distance. Several bodyguards immediately rushed over.

“I don’t care if you’re a shareholder of Longmei Hospital. President Liu is my friend. Try to touch her,” Li Xin said smugly, increasing the strength in his hand, squeezing Liu Xinxin’s little secretary so hard that her expression became distorted.

It seemed that Liu Xinxin had sacrificed her little secretary to exchange for some benefits from Li Xin.

At this moment, Yang Chen’s bodyguards also ran over.

Yang Chen picked up Zhen Jin and said to Liu Xinxin and Li Xin, “You two wait, I will make you pay the price!”

After speaking, Yang Chen carried Zhen Jin into the car.

The little girl looked pretty good. It would be tragic if she had scars on her body.

Zhen Jin: “Senior, where are you taking me?”

Yang Chen: “To the hospital.”

Zhen Jin: “But I didn’t ask my supervisor for leave. He will definitely scold me and deduct my wages.”

Yang Chen: “Then don’t do it. In the future, you can go to Tang Pavilion, Qiao Jiangnan, Peninsula Hotel, or Haidilao [all well-known restaurant brands]. You can find part-time jobs by mentioning my name.”

Zhen Jin pressed a tissue on her wound, her expression twisting in pain. Then she quickly asked, “Are these all your companies, Senior?”

Yang Chen: “Some are controlled by me, some I have shares in, but it’s all the same. Just mention my name.”

Zhen Jin: “Thank you, Senior. Senior is so amazing, having so many companies at such a young age. You are the dream lover of all the girls and the spiritual idol of all the boys in our school.”

Yang Chen: “Is that so? It’s not that exaggerated, is it?”

Zhen Jin: “It’s not exaggerated. I’m telling the truth. Everyone in our dorm likes you and hopes to find a boyfriend like you in the future.”

Yang Chen: “Is that so? Do you want to, too?”

Zhen Jin: “Yes! Of course, I want to…”

Zhen Jin realized something was wrong and immediately shut up shyly.

On the other side, Liu Xinxin threw the little secretary to Li Xin and drove away alone.

The poor little secretary, in order to keep her job and the 50,000 RMB bonus promised by Liu Xinxin, had no choice but to go to the hotel with Li Xin.

Yang Chen took Zhen Jin to Longmei Hospital for treatment.

As soon as they entered the hospital, the medical staff immediately cheered.

Because Yang Chen’s actions not only protected the reputation of Longmei Hospital but also prevented the hospital from being blackmailed. Moreover, netizens praised Longmei Hospital for this incident. It could be said that Longmei Hospital had turned misfortune into blessing.

“Mr. Yang, I love you! I want to have your babies!”

“Haha…”

“Mr. Yang, I also want to have your babies. Can you not 嫌弃 (xián qì, dislike) that I’m a man?”

“Eww…”

Yang Chen said with a smile, “I’m afraid my kidneys can’t handle it. Everyone, please spare me.”

“Haha…”

At this moment, Yang Chen’s phone rang. The other party claimed to be Peter Russell, the president of BMW, calling specifically to say hello to Yang Chen.

Yang Chen came to the window and said with a smile, “Hello, Mr. Russell.”

Russell: “Hello, Mr. Yang.

I’m calling you this time not only to say hello but also to tell you something. Tomorrow, I will lead a team to China for inspection. If Mr. Yang is available, I hope you can join me in discussing investment matters with local government officials. In addition, we will hold a car show in Haicheng in three days. If it’s convenient, I hope Mr. Yang can also visit with me. You are now the second largest shareholder of the group and should have more understanding of the company. At the same time, you should also strive for the company’s interests. What do you say?”

Yang Chen: “What you said makes sense. Then call me when you arrive. I’m very flexible and can arrange time to meet with you at any time.”

Russell: “Okay! Then we’ll leave it at that. I won’t disturb Mr. Yang. We’ll see you in Haicheng the day after tomorrow.”

Soon, Zhen Jin’s injuries were treated, but she, as a student, certainly couldn’t afford the medical expenses here, so Yang Chen paid for her.

Zhen Jin said very gratefully, “Thank you, Senior. When I get my salary, I’ll treat you to a meal.”

Yang Chen: “Haha… Okay, wait until you’re better. Let’s go, I’ll take you back to school.”

…

Early the next morning, major news platforms reported the news of the BMW Group president leading a delegation to visit China.

According to the news, the main purposes of the BMW team’s visit were three.

First, to discuss increasing investment in the super battery factory in Shenyang. BMW expects to increase investment by about 2.5 billion US dollars.

Second, BMW is preparing to expand its electric vehicle production line in the United States or build a new production line in China. This visit is to discuss matters related to building a new production line.

If it is more cost-effective to establish a new production line in China, BMW is preparing to establish a new production line in China.

If this method is not cost-effective, they will increase investment in the production line in the United States.

Third, Longchen Group has applied for bankruptcy reorganization, and BMW will discuss the control of Longchen BMW and subsequent cooperation issues with Longchen Group.

If it were in the past, the initiative for these three issues would definitely be in the hands of the BMW Group.

But now that Yang Chen controls 21% of BMW’s shares, China’s say has also increased.

At noon, Yang Chen received another reasonable but unethical order.

An order actually ordered 20 lunch boxes, which was really 坑人 (kēng rén, a rip-off).

In order to prevent other riders who rely on this for a living from being ripped off by this order, Yang Chen accepted the order.

While waiting for the merchant to prepare the lunch boxes, Yang Chen felt more and more unhappy.

So, he called Wang Yuesheng, the chairman of Meituan [a large Chinese e-commerce platform for services].

Wang Yuesheng: “Hello, Mr. Yang, have you eaten yet?”

Yang Chen: “Eat my ass, I’m full of anger from the platform.”

Wang Yuesheng: “Ah? What’s wrong?”

Yang Chen: “I’m just working part-time and occasionally delivering food, but I’ve received orders with dozens of meals no less than three times. If a rider brother who relies on this for a living accepts such an order, it will take more than an hour, and in the end, they will only get a few dollars in delivery fees. How can they survive this day?”

Wang Yuesheng: “Alas… There are always customers who like to take advantage, and we can’t do anything about it.”

Yang Chen: “The platform relies on riders to deliver goods. We can’t treat them as formal employees, but we can’t 坑 (kēng, rip off) them like this anymore. I propose that in the future, when we encounter orders with multiple meals, in addition to the delivery fee that the rider should get, we should also give them a subsidy.”

Wang Yuesheng: “This…”

Yang Chen: “For us, we can solve the problem by simply changing a few numbers, but for the rider brothers, the extra subsidy can ensure that they don’t earn less than enough to support their families that day. We are also considered a large group, and we should bear some social responsibility. If necessary, I can propose to convene a shareholders’ meeting to discuss it.”

Wang Yuesheng: “No need, no need. Haha… Such a small matter doesn’t warrant convening a shareholders’ meeting. Then… according to what Mr. Yang said, for orders with multiple meals, the rider will be subsidized at a rate of 5毛 (máo, 0.5 RMB) per meal. Do you think that’s okay?”

Yang Chen: “Okay. Then that’s settled. I still have to deliver an order of 20 meals to the convention center. Hanging up.”

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the merchant finally prepared the takeaway, and Yang Chen immediately sent it to the convention center.

Yang Chen parked the car and called the person who ordered the takeaway to come out and pick it up.

Before long, Liu Xinxin’s secretary ran out.

There were several bruises on her legs, and there were strawberry marks on her neck.

It seemed that Li Xin played very violently last night.

As soon as the little secretary saw that it was Yang Chen who delivered the food, she immediately frowned and said, “Why is it you again?”

Yang Chen: “I also want to ask, why is it always you guys?”

The little secretary rolled her eyes at Yang Chen, stepped forward to take eight lunch boxes, and couldn’t take the remaining twelve.

“Help me send them in,” the little secretary said.

Yang Chen felt that there was no need to be so serious with a working little secretary, so he helped her take the remaining lunch boxes and entered the convention center together.

Inside the convention center, BMW promotional posters were posted everywhere. It turned out that Xinxin Xiangrong Exhibition Company was doing BMW’s auto show event.

Then could Yang Chen let them undertake this auto show event?

Wouldn’t his 21% stake be wasted?

Liu Xinxin was furious when she saw Yang Chen, saying, “You really are like a fly, you’re really a persistent ghost, I can meet you wherever I go!”

Yang Chen chuckled and replied, “There’s no way, flies just like to follow the smell to find shit.”

At this time, Li Xin, the chairman of Longchen Group, walked over.

“Mr. Yang, why are you speaking so harshly! You are also considered a man, but you are so 斤斤计较 (jīn jīn jì jiào, nitpicking) with a lady, it’s really laughable,” Li Xin mocked.

Yang Chen chuckled and said, “Laugh, you won’t be laughing for many days. Liu Xinxin, is your company responsible for this BMW auto show?”

Liu Xinxin replied with a smug look, “Of course! Our company is mainly responsible for luxury car auto show events. I advise you to apologize to me as soon as possible, otherwise, when I finish my work, I will definitely unite several luxury car presidents to settle the score with you.”

Yang Chen chuckled and said, “In order to ask Li Xin to help you, you sent your secretary to him to play with. Look at the injuries on her body. You still want to contact several luxury cars. Will your secretary still have a life to live?”

The secretary lowered her head with an embarrassed and ashamed expression.

Li Xin looked embarrassed and quickly said, “Don’t talk nonsense, be careful I sue you for defamation and damage my reputation!”

Yang Chen chuckled and said, “Stop it, this exhibition will not be handed over to you.”

After speaking, Yang Chen left the scene.

Liu Xinxin and Li Xin both looked disdainful.

Li Xin: “Young people are arrogant and domineering. So what if you are a shareholder of Longmei Hospital? You still want to interfere in BMW’s affairs? 草 (cào, fuck)!”

Liu Xinxin: “Chairman Li now knows how arrogant he is, right? After this auto show is over and the BMW president leaves, we must join forces to teach him a lesson.”

Li Xin nodded with a smile, saying, “That’s natural!”

After speaking, he looked at the little secretary next to him.

The little secretary was so frightened that her heart trembled. Thinking about how perverted he was last night, she felt even more scared.

Yang Chen returned to the car and called Russell, the president of the BMW Group.

Russell: “Mr. Yang, what can I do for you?”

Yang Chen: “I’ll send you a video and news to take a look at, and then we’ll talk.”

Russell: “Okay! Send it over.”

Yang Chen sent Russell the video of Liu Xinxin leading people to make trouble in Longmei Hospital and related news.

More than ten minutes later, Russell called Yang Chen.

Russell: “Mr. Yang, who is this person?”

Yang Chen: “Her name is Liu Xinxin, and she is the boss of Xinxin Xiangrong Exhibition Company. The BMW auto show event is being undertaken by their company. Fortunately, I discovered it in time, otherwise, if everyone knows that we BMW are cooperating with such a person on the day of the exhibition, wouldn’t it implicate BMW’s reputation and damage BMW’s brand image? There are so many exhibition companies available, why should we risk our brand image?”

Russell: “Ah? There is such a thing! Outrageous! I will immediately call Savoff, the president of the Chinese region, and order him to replace the exhibition company immediately!”

Yang Chen: “This matter is making a lot of noise on our Internet, and I don’t believe that the president of the Chinese region doesn’t know about it. Why does he still want to use this company? I think it is worth investigating.”

Russell: “That makes sense. Thanks to Mr. Yang for discovering it in time, otherwise, we would face a serious public relations crisis.”

Yang Chen: “You’re welcome. I am the second largest shareholder of the group and should maintain the group’s interests and brand image. Hurry up and do it, I’m hanging up.”

After hanging up the phone, Russell quickly called Savoff, the president of BMW China.

“Savoff, why did you choose an exhibition company with negative news to undertake our auto show this time? Don’t you know how important this auto show is to us?” Russell said angrily.

Savoff: “I… I’m sorry, Mr. President, I… We signed the contract in advance, and the exhibition date is approaching. I’m worried that a temporary replacement will be too busy. So…”

Russell: “Confused! We would rather work overtime to rearrange the scene than let a company with negative news undertake such an important auto show event. I, the second largest shareholder Yang Chen, and relevant personnel from the Haicheng Municipal Government have agreed to visit together that day. If everyone sees that the undertaking unit is this company with negative news, what will everyone think of our BMW? For the sake of saving trouble, you disregard the brand image and group interests, you bastard!”

Savoff: “I’m sorry, Mr. President, I know I was wrong. I will immediately terminate the cooperation with Xinxin Xiangrong and change to another company to undertake it. I guarantee that I will prepare the auto show center as scheduled even if I don’t sleep! Please forgive me and give me a chance to atone for my sins!”

Russell: “Humph! I’ll give you a chance to see your performance.”

Savoff: “Okay, okay, I will definitely not let the president down.”

After hanging up the phone, Savoff quickly called Liu Xinxin.

At this time, Liu Xinxin was chatting with Li Xin.

“Oh, Mr. Savoff is calling me,” Liu Xinxin said happily.

Li Xin: “Is that so? Press the speakerphone, press the speakerphone, I also want to hear what he says.”

Liu Xinxin nodded, answered the phone, pressed the speakerphone, and said, “Mr. Savoff…”

Savoff: “Bastard! I said that you have negative news, it must not work. You just don’t believe it! The president didn’t know how he knew about your news, and just called me and scolded me, asking me why I still want to use you when I know you have negative news. I explained so much, but he still ordered me to replace you!”

Liu Xinxin: “Ah? How could this happen!”

Li Xin, who was on the side, couldn’t help but said, “Mr. Savoff, I am Li Xin. How would the president know about President Liu’s news?”

Savoff: “I also want to ask you? Someone must have reported it to the president!”

Someone reported it?

Li Xin and Liu Xinxin immediately thought of Yang Chen.

Li Xin: “Damn it, Mr. Savoff, I know who reported it, it must be Yang Chen, the shareholder of Longmei Hospital. He came here to deliver food just now and saw that President Liu’s company was responsible for this BMW auto show, and threatened that she could not hold it successfully. It hasn’t been long before the president knew about it, it must have been him who reported it.”

Savoff: “Yang Chen, the shareholder of Longmei Hospital? Sounds a bit familiar! I seem to have heard this name somewhere. Never mind. This matter is not my fault. I will not return the things you gave me. What I can do is not to pursue your liability for breach of contract, because you have already affected our image and the progress of the auto show.”

Liu Xinxin clenched her fists angrily, saying, “Mr. Savoff, I can not ask you to refund the money to me. But you have to join us to teach Yang Chen a lesson! You must agree to this condition, otherwise, I will report you for accepting my money!”

Li Xin quickly pushed Liu Xinxin and said in a low voice, “President Liu, what are you talking about?”

Liu Xinxin had lost her mind, saying, “I can’t control that much! Mr. Savoff, Chairman Li, I can’t wait for the BMW auto show to end, I want to teach him a lesson immediately! You must help me, otherwise, I will report to BMW headquarters that you accept money and beauty bribes!”

Li Xin: “You… Liu Xinxin, you!”

Savoff: “Fuck! I will refund the money to you now!”

Liu Xinxin: “I don’t want you to refund the money, I just want you to join me to teach Yang Chen a lesson. If you refund the money to me, I will still report you. He is just a shareholder of Longmei Hospital, with your social relations, is it not easy to teach him a lesson? I’m going all out, you should consider it carefully!”

So it’s not a good thing to accept bribes, it’s not that you can just return the things and it’s okay, at a critical moment, it will really drag you down.

Li Xin’s Longchen Group is in the critical stage of bankruptcy reorganization, and he is about to discuss the future development plan of Longchen BMW with the BMW president.

If he is exposed to accepting money and sex transactions at this time, he can basically declare that he is finished.

Savoff just guaranteed to the president that he would solve the problem and maintain BMW’s brand image.

If he is exposed for using his power for personal gain, wouldn’t he be finished?

Li Xin and Savoff had no choice but to be held hostage by Liu Xinxin to deal with Yang Chen.

Yang Chen is just a shareholder of Longmei Hospital, with the 江湖地位 (jiāng hú dì wèi, social status) of Longchen Group and BMW Group, it should be easy to deal with him, right?
