How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 312

Fang Yingqi didn’t recognize the slicked-back hair guy at all. She quickly took two steps to the side to avoid him and hurriedly grabbed Yang Chen’s arm, asking, “Who are you?”

The slicked-back hair guy’s face changed drastically, and he asked, “Is he your boyfriend?”

Fang Yingqi nodded and said, “Yes! Who are you?”

The slicked-back hair guy gritted his teeth, looking unhappy, and replied, “I often send you gifts, almost over 5 million worth. My account profile picture is my photo, can’t you even recognize that?”

Fang Yingqi shook her head and said, “Sorry, I never look at who sends gifts. I’ve said I’m a rich second generation [someone born into wealth] in real life and don’t need fans to send gifts. So, even if you send them, I won’t look, and I’ve never withdrawn the sound waves [virtual currency earned through streaming].”

How hilarious, spending over 5 million and not even getting a chance to meet the streamer, what a total sucker.

The slicked-back hair guy was acting all high and mighty, so Yang Chen deliberately provoked him, saying, “Thank you for the gifts, generous benefactor, helping us achieve RV freedom. May I ask what the generous benefactor’s name is? When we have kids, we’ll name them after you, so they’ll always remember that there was such a benefactor who helped us achieve RV freedom.”

Fang Yingqi playfully slapped Yang Chen and said with a mischievous smile, “You’re so annoying…”

Yang Chen: “He spent over 5 million on you, so you put up 2.5 million, and I’ll cover the rest. We’ll buy this RV and put it in your name. Then, whenever I have time, we can drive this RV to the suburbs for camping and enjoy some alone time.”

Fang Yingqi nodded and said, “Okay! Then I’ll withdraw the sound waves. Hehe…”

The manager, Chen, and the others on the side looked at the slicked-back hair guy with sympathy. This was just too tragic.

The slicked-back hair guy immediately walked over and said, “Kid, are you playing with fire? Do you know that?”

Fang Yingqi forcefully pushed the slicked-back hair guy away and said, “What are you doing? Want to fight? I’ll fight you!”

Manager Chen quickly stepped forward to separate them, advising, “Mr. Sun, calm down. This brother and beautiful lady, please calm down too.”

The slicked-back hair guy: “Damn it, I, Sun Xuechen, have never been so blatantly insulted! Damn! Even Wang Nianming has to be respectful in front of me, who does he think he is!”

Oh, so this is Sun Xuechen, who even Wang Nianming hasn’t cursed before. No wonder he walks with a swagger, putting on a pretentious act.

Manager Chen was certain that Sun Xuechen had the money to buy this RV, but he wasn’t sure if Yang Chen had the money to buy it.

Many people in sales are very realistic. They are definitely more willing to please customers who they are sure can afford it. As for customers who they are not sure can afford it, or even sure can’t afford it, they avoid serving them if possible.

Manager Chen asked with a smile, “Mr. Yang, if you’re sure you want to buy this RV, we can sign the contract now.”

He was testing whether Yang Chen could really afford it. If Yang Chen hesitated even a little, he wouldn’t entertain him and would quickly go to appease Sun Xuechen.

Yang Chen smiled and asked Fang Yingqi, “Let’s go inside and take a look. This car will mainly be for you to drive; I won’t drive it much. Make sure you like it before we buy it.”

Fang Yingqi smiled and nodded, standing on her tiptoes to kiss Yang Chen.

Then, she took Yang Chen’s arm and was about to go up to see the car.

How could Sun Xuechen stand for such provocation? He immediately said to Manager Chen, “Manager Chen, this car is mine; I’ll buy it right now! I don’t even need to look, sign the contract immediately!”

Manager Chen instantly beamed and quickly nodded, replying, “Okay, okay. Mr. Yang, I’m sorry, Mr. Sun has reserved this car. If you really want it, we can customize one from headquarters.”

Sun Xuechen said with a chuckle, “You think too highly of him. A gigolo who’s supported by his girlfriend, what does he have to buy an RV of this level?”

At this moment, Chen Lijun happened to pass by.

“Brother Chen, are you here to see RVs too?” Chen Lijun ran over with a smile.

Yang Chen: “Oh, Lijun! What are you doing here?”

Chen Lijun: “My mom’s company is now an agent for several RV brands. She can’t handle it all by herself, so I help her out when I have time. Isn’t there an RV exhibition today? We came to participate too. Brother Chen, are you buying an RV?”

Yang Chen nodded.

Chen Lijun: “Oh, then you have to support your brother’s business. Come on, brother, let me introduce you to a super luxurious RV. It has a helicopter landing pad on the roof and a sports car garage underneath. Brother Chen, when you drive the RV out to play, 5-6 sisters-in-law [close female friends] can move around freely. Park your Bugatti Veyron in the small garage under the car, and you can also park your company’s helicopter on the landing pad on the roof. Wouldn’t it be awesome to experience the Sichuan-Tibet line, speeding in the no-man’s land, speeding in a plane!”

Oh, damn, after Chen Lijun said that, Yang Chen was really tempted.

With such an awesome RV, why buy a Mercedes-Benz Elsen?

Yang Chen immediately said to Manager Chen, “Let him have this car; I’m going to buy one that can park sports cars and planes.”

Chen Lijun quickly beckoned Yang Chen and Fang Yingqi to follow him.

Manager Chen and the others were dumbfounded. Was that guy just bragging?

He actually said that the delivery guy has a Bugatti Veyron and a helicopter?

Damn! If he’s so rich, why is he still delivering food?

The entire Hai City can count the Bugatti Veyrons on one hand, and there aren’t even enough people with helicopters to make up one hand. How could such a big shot go deliver food?

Sun Xuechen laughed and said, “Bullshit! I know almost all the rich second generations in Hai City; there’s no such awesome rich second generation. Damn!”

Manager Chen quickly smiled and nodded, saying, “Yes, yes, yes, he’s definitely bragging. Mr. Sun, come on, let Yanyun take you up to see the interior of the car.”

Sun Xuechen smiled and nodded, following Zhang Yanyun into the car.

Yang Chen has many beautiful girls around him, so he wouldn’t be tempted by Zhang Yanyun’s flirtatiousness.

But Sun Xuechen doesn’t have that many beauties around him, so he couldn’t resist Zhang Yanyun’s seduction and really went to test how the bed felt.

But there are surveillance cameras in this RV.

Yang Chen and Fang Yingqi followed Chen Lijun to the exhibition area.

Chen Lijun pointed to a white RV that was 14 meters long and 2.5 meters wide and said, “Brother Chen, this is the one. It’s an RV from the United States; let me take you up to see it.”

Putting aside the interior, the exterior of this car is very cool, full of technology, and looks like a car from a science fiction movie.

There was indeed a two-seater helicopter parked on the roof, and Chen Lijun’s own Lamborghini was parked in the garage under the car.

Yang Chen couldn’t help but sigh, “Damn, it’s good to be rich. I never thought life could be like this; I’m so envious.”

Chen Lijun: “Haha… Brother Chen, you’re just overthinking it. If I were you, I’d be partying everywhere like Wang Nianming; why work so hard? Come, let me show you the big bathtub on the roof. If you drive to the no-man’s land, lie in this bathtub with your girlfriend, basking in the sun, drinking red wine, wouldn’t that be awesome?”

Fang Yingqi: “Big brother, after you say that, I’m tempted. Achen, why don’t we buy this one?”

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, saying, “It looks pretty good. Are the helicopter and sports car sold together?”

Chen Lijun: “Of course not, haha… Brother Chen, don’t you have a sports car? Doesn’t Aegis Security have a helicopter?”

Yang Chen: “That’s the company’s helicopter; it’s not good for me to use it privately. Sell me this helicopter together; I don’t want the sports car. I’ll just replace it with my own Bugatti Veyron.”

Chen Lijun: “No problem, Brother Chen, whatever you say. Come, let’s go inside the car and take a look. After you see it, you’ll know what a mobile five-star hotel is.”

The three of them came inside the car.

Fang Yingqi: “Wow, the space is so big! It’s much more spacious than the RVs I’ve seen before. You can even have a party here.”

Yang Chen only needs to be satisfied with what he buys; he doesn’t need to know the specific parameters at all.

“Lijun, give me a price, car plus plane together. Buffett will come to see me in the next few days, and after I meet him, we’re going to travel. So, you need to get the procedures done for me as soon as possible,” Yang Chen said.

Chen Lijun and Fang Yingqi were both shocked and widened their eyes.

Chen Lijun quickly asked, “Is the Buffett that Brother Chen is talking about the Buffett who is known as the God of Stocks [Warren Buffett]?”

Yang Chen nodded and said, “Yes! It’s him.”

Fang Yingqi: “He’s coming to see you? I heard that he’s auctioning off lunch recently, and the competition is very fierce.”

Yang Chen: “They can compete however they want; anyway, he’s coming to see me, not me going to see him.”

Chen Lijun: “Haha… Brother Chen, awesome! Damn, if Buffett took the initiative to ask to see me one day, that would be enough for me to brag about for the rest of my life! I just hate that I’m not a woman; otherwise, I could be with Brother Chen day and night, being intimate and affectionate.”

Yang Chen: “Damn, you’re disgusting. Hurry up and give me a price!”

Fang Yingqi laughed and said, “It’s no use even if you’re a woman; I don’t know how long it will take to see him once. You’ll have to endure the pain of longing.”

Yang Chen looked embarrassed and said, “No way, I usually have to run sports cars and deliver food; I’m busy.”

Chen Lijun: “That’s why I say Brother Chen is overthinking it; you’re already so awesome and still working so hard. The official price of this car is 2.5 million US dollars, and the helicopter is a Robinson R22 light helicopter, with an official price of 400,000 US dollars. If Brother Chen pays in US dollars, then it’s 2.8 million US dollars. If it’s in…”

Yang Chen: “Then pay in US dollars. I have money in my Swiss bank account; it’s too much of a loss to just leave it there. I still have to pay them management fees.”

Chen Lijun: “Haha… Okay! I’ll go to Brother Chen to handle the procedures this afternoon, and I’ll get all the documents and photos done for you, so you can drive it as soon as it’s delivered to you. Is that okay?”

Yang Chen: “Okay! Then you’re busy; we’ll leave first.”

Chen Lijun sent Yang Chen and Fang Yingqi away, passing by the Mercedes side, he found Sun Xuechen arguing with Manager Chen and Wang Yanyun.

When Wang Yanyun saw Yang Chen walking over, she quickly ran over and said, “Mr. Yang, are you still buying our RV?”

Yang Chen looked at Sun Xuechen: “Isn’t he going to buy it?”

Wang Yanyun said angrily: “He’s just a liar and a hooligan. He didn’t want to buy it at all; he just came to take a look. The key is that when I took him to see the interior of the car, he actually molested me; it’s extremely obscene!”

Sun Xuechen: “I warn you not to talk nonsense! It’s not that I don’t want to buy it; it’s just that my people just bid for Buffett’s lunch for me, and I have to give him 4.8 million US dollars. I don’t have enough cash on me, so I have to wait until next month to buy it. Is 12.8 million [yuan, Chinese currency] a big deal? Can’t I afford it?”

Yang Chen smiled and said to Wang Yanyun: “Isn’t there surveillance in the car? Call the police and arrest him! He’s just a hustler, a virtual currency speculator; he doesn’t dare to make a big deal out of it, otherwise he will attract attention from all sides, and his hard days will come. If you are violated, you must know how to use legal weapons to protect yourself, and don’t let bad people get away with it. If you need help, I can help you.”

Chen Lijun: “Brother Chen is right; you have to use legal weapons to protect your legitimate rights and interests. We won’t buy the car; Brother Chen has already bought our one with the landing pad. You guys continue to quarrel; we’re leaving.”

After speaking, Chen Lijun left with Yang Chen and Fang Yingqi.

Wang Yanyun’s mentality instantly collapsed. That car with the landing pad costs 2.5 million US dollars, which is much more expensive than this Mercedes-Benz RV.

If Yang Chen can afford a car worth 2.5 million US dollars, he must be able to afford theirs.

Originally, Yang Chen was going to buy this one, but it was all delayed by Sun Xuechen.

If this RV is sold, Wang Yanyun can get about 50,000 yuan [Chinese currency] in commission + bonus.

Now everything is gone…

“Ah… Sun Xuechen, I’m going to fight you!” Wang Yanyun roared, and then rushed towards Sun Xuechen.

Sun Xuechen, who has always been high-profile and likes to pretend, is actually fighting with a woman, which is really too degrading.

If this is spread on the Internet and hyped up, his image as the top dog in the currency circle will be completely ruined.

Chen Lijun said with a smile: “That idiot also spent 4.8 million US dollars to bid for Buffett’s lunch. When Buffett comes to see Brother Chen, will he be pissed to death?”

Yang Chen: “Buffett shouldn’t be so unscrupulous; he will definitely finish the lunch he bought, and then come to see me. Okay, you go back and get busy.”

Chen Lijun: “Okay. Then Brother Chen and Miss Fang, take care; I won’t send you off.”

Yang Chen left with Fang Yingqi.

As soon as he got in the car, Fang Yingqi yawned and said, “I’m so sleepy. Let’s find a place to sleep.”

Yang Chen knew she had ideas when he saw her amorous eyes.

“I still have to work hard to earn money to marry a wife,” Yang Chen said deliberately.

Fang Yingqi grabbed Yang Chen’s collar and said, “Little brother, I’ll give you another chance; say again whether you want to sleep or not. It’s been so many days; it’s my turn. You have to sleep today, whether you want to or not. If you don’t cooperate, I’ll have to do it by force.”

“Haha…” Yang Chen laughed and drove to find a hotel to sleep.

On another side, Wang Yanyun entangled with Sun Xuechen for most of the day, and finally Sun Xuechen compensated her 20,000 yuan [Chinese currency] and took away the surveillance video to reconcile.

Sun Xuechen was so angry that the joy of taking Buffett’s lunch was gone.

After ten o’clock in the evening, Sun Xuechen sent more than a dozen Weibo updates in a row.

The first Weibo was an announcement that he had taken Buffett’s lunch, and the remaining dozen or so Weibo were scolding Wang Nianming for calculating an ordinary little girl.

Wang Nianming was extremely aggrieved and immediately called Yang Chen.

Yang Chen motioned Fang Yingqi to be quiet and then asked with a smile, “Xiaoming, what’s the matter?”

Wang Nianming: “Sun Xuechen’s grandson sent more than a dozen Weibo to scold me for calculating Chen Xiaoxian, Brother Chen, please block his account too. I’m at a disadvantage; he scolds me, but I can’t fight back.”

Yang Chen: “Is that so? Okay, I’ll call Weibo and have his account blocked.”

Wang Nianming: “Okay! Thank you, Brother Chen.”

Yang Chen: “Don’t mention it. Hang up.”

Hanging up the phone, Yang Chen immediately called the CEO of Weibo and ordered him to block Sun Xuechen, who was scolding people.

Wang Nianming’s account has been blocked, so what is a Sun Xuechen who is making a fortune?!

That’s not to say that it will be blocked.

Sun Xuechen was teasing Wang Nianming with his fans, and when the page refreshed, he found that his account had been blocked.

This made him angry, and he quickly called customer service to ask for an explanation.

The answer given by the customer service was that he violated the Weibo usage regulations and caused a very bad public opinion impact. According to relevant regulations, his account was blocked.

After speaking, the customer service hung up the phone directly, unwilling to pay any more attention to him.

Sun Xuechen, as the top dog in the currency circle, has just taken Buffett’s lunch, and he himself is very high-profile and likes to pretend; how can he stand this kind of humiliation?

So, he immediately called the CEO of Weibo.

Sun Xuechen: “President Li, what do you mean? Why did you block my account?”

Weibo CEO: “President Sun, you are now considered a figure; you said you sent those things, and you are still scolding Wang Nianming, do you think your account can be kept? We don’t want to offend anyone; we can only do things according to the law. Anyway, your big account must be blocked; you can re-register a small account to use. But, I have to remind you that you can’t scold people anymore. If you still scold people like this, we will still block your account.”

Sun Xuechen: “Damn! Is it necessary? I used to scold him like this before? Why was it okay before, but now I have to block my account?”

Weibo CEO: “Because Mr. Yang Chen was not our second-largest shareholder before; now he is our second-largest shareholder. He is also the second-largest shareholder of Yida Group, and he has a very good relationship with Wang Nianming. Do you know the reason now?”

Sun Xuechen: “Yang Chen? Who is it? I haven’t even heard of it; where did the bumpkin come from? He thinks he can mess with me by acquiring Weibo and Yida’s equity?”

Weibo CEO: “If you talk like this, you can’t even register a small account. Hang up; go to sleep!”

Sun Xuechen: “Wait a minute! Send me his photo; I want to see who he is!”

Weibo CEO: “Okay, I’ll WeChat send it to you.”

Soon, Sun Xuechen received Yang Chen’s photo, and his eyes widened in shock.

“Damn it, it turned out to be this grandson! Damn! He is actually the second-largest shareholder of Weibo; no wonder Qiqi is with him. Damn, he is already the second-largest shareholder of Weibo, and he still delivers food. Block my Weibo, right? I’m not playing Weibo anymore; I’m going to play Douyin [TikTok in China]!” Sun Xuechen said self-righteously.

Afterwards, Sun Xuechen registered a Douyin account and posted his first video.

“Weibo, this garbage platform, blocked my account and asked me to register a small account, and I’m not allowed to scold people in the future. Damn! I, a user, still have to listen to the platform’s control; is it funny? I solemnly announce that Weibo has been blacklisted by me, and from now on I will only play Douyin. Everyone remember to follow my account, and this Sunday at noon I will live broadcast the whole process of my lunch with Buffett! If you miss this opportunity, you may never have the opportunity to see what Buffett’s lunch is like.”

After posting this Douyin video, Sun Xuechen also spent 100,000 yuan [Chinese currency] to buy DOU+ promotion, so that more netizens can see and follow him.

Just after dawn, Yang Chen was still sleeping with Fang Yingqi in his arms, and Wang Nianming’s phone rang again.

Yang Chen answered the phone in a daze and said hello.

Wang Nianming: “Brother Chen, I’m sorry; you haven’t woken up yet, have you? I really can’t wait, so I called you.”

Yang Chen: “What happened again?”

Wang Nianming: “Sun Xuechen’s grandson registered a Douyin account, posted a video asking people to follow him, and on Sunday he will live broadcast the lunch process with Buffett. Brother Chen, please call Douyin again and block his account. I can’t scold him, and I can’t let him scold me casually.”

Yang Chen: “Oh, I see. Then block him when he broadcasts live that day; what’s the point of blocking him now.”

Wang Nianming: “Haha… Brother Chen is right. Then listen to Brother Chen’s arrangement, and arrange him on the day of the live broadcast. Then Brother Chen continue to sleep, and I can finally sleep peacefully. I waited all night to call you.”

Yang Chen: “Damn! Why did you wait for me all night?”

Wang Nianming: “I wanted to call you in the middle of the night, but I was worried that it would disturb your rest. But when I went to sleep, I was so angry that I couldn’t sleep, and I waited until now without realizing it. I think it’s dawn; you should be awake, so I called you.”

Yang Chen: “You kid… Okay, I know; I will definitely not let you suffer. Hang up.”

Just because this kid is so sensible, Yang Chen has to help him vent his anger and make Sun Xuechen lose face on the day Buffett comes.

…

On Saturday night, Yang Chen sent two guests to the Bulgari Hotel.

He was about to leave when a foreign old man opened the car door and came up.

“Driver, please take me for a ride. Thank you,” the foreign old man said.

Is he treating Yang Chen’s car as a taxi?

Yang Chen turned his head and looked over. The old man was wearing a mask and hat, covering his face.

Yang Chen explained: “Hi, old man, good evening. This is not a taxi; it’s a ride-hailing car. Do you know what a ride-hailing car is? Do you have Uber in your country?”

Old man: “Oh, Uber, I know. Is this Bipi Dache [Chinese ride-hailing app]?”

Yang Chen smiled and nodded and said:

“Yes, it’s Bipi Dache. Do you know Bipi?”

Old man: “I know; it was just delisted from the US stock market not long ago. Little brother, you see it’s so late, and it’s not easy for me to take a taxi; can you take me around? I finally came to Longguo [China], and I want to see the changes in Longguo’s most prosperous city over the years. I will give you money, and you can charge according to the taxi price. I can give you 200 US dollars as a tip now, and I will give you the same face value of US dollars for the fare.”

After speaking, he really took out 200 US dollars and put it on the passenger seat.

Generally speaking, in this situation, whether in China or abroad, the driver would definitely agree.

However, Yang Chen still shook his head and said, “I’m sorry; I’m really going to get off work. You should take another car.”

Old man: “Aren’t you Longguo people very enthusiastic? Putting the needs of foreigners first!”

Yang Chen: “Haha… That was before; now it’s 2022. Our Longguo’s aircraft carrier is in the third trimester [a metaphor for being very advanced], and you still want to be foreign masters. I’m really going home; please get out of the car.”

The old man’s temper was also provoked by Yang Chen; he took out 1,000 US dollars and put it on the passenger seat and said: “You just take me around; let me see the development level of this city. This 1,000 US dollars is yours; it’s 1,000 US dollars, not Longguo coins, understand?”

The old man thought to himself: “There are still 600 million people in Longguo with a monthly income of less than 1,000 yuan; this 1,000 US dollars is enough to make him obediently take me around. After all, if it is in the United States, this money is enough to let a beauty accompany me for a day.”

Yang Chen was very helpless; he couldn’t even keep a low profile.

So he took out his mobile phone, flipped out a bank SMS and showed it to the old man, and said: “Old man, you may have some misunderstanding about the current situation in Longguo.”

The old man looked at the long string of numbers and instantly doubted his life.

Are Longguo’s online car-hailing drivers so rich?

How many digits is this?

It’s actually 12.8 billion!

Fak, is this the wealth that an online car-hailing driver should have?

Yang Chen put away his mobile phone and said, “Old man, please get out of the car; I really want to go home for dinner.”

The old man smiled awkwardly and then got out of the car.

Yang Chen quickly took the US dollars on the passenger seat, got out of the car and returned it to the old man.

“I’m sorry; I really want to go home. If it’s not convenient for you to call a car, I’ll help you call one over,” Yang Chen said.

The old man said with a smile: “What’s your name; can you leave me a contact information?”

Yang Chen shook his head and said, “It’s just a one-sided relationship; let’s not leave it. If we are destined to see you again, I will definitely add you as a friend. Do you need me to help you call a car?”

The old man shook his head and said, “I don’t think I need to go out for a walk; I already know the current development level of Longguo.”

Yang Chen nodded, turned around and got back into the car and left.

The old man looked at Yang Chen’s car going away with a smile, and his heart was mixed.

He thought to himself: “An online car-hailing driver actually has so much savings; has Longguo been developing so fast secretly these years? Is everything said in the news fake? Are the economic reports that my people investigated also fake? Then I sold the equity of Biwaddy [BYD, a Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer] at a loss? Longguo is developing so fiercely; the stock price of Biwaddy has just started, and the future is limitless!”
