How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 383

Yang Chen entered the sales office, where a sales consultant in black stockings and a hip-hugging skirt immediately greeted him.

“Hello, handsome. Welcome to Baorun Allegory. I’m Zhang Xiaoqi, your sales consultant. May I ask your name?” she asked politely.

Just as Yang Chen was about to answer, the couple from earlier approached.

Male passenger: “Oh, little brother, are you here to buy a house too?”

Female passenger: “Haha… Did you hear about the discounts and couldn’t resist coming to take a look?”

Yang Chen smiled and nodded. “I walked around and liked the surrounding environment. This place has potential, so I came to check it out.”

Female passenger: “The average price here is 78,000 yuan per square meter. A house costs over 7 million yuan. Can you afford the monthly mortgage with your ride-hailing job?”

Yang Chen: “I don’t do mortgages. If I buy, I’ll pay in full.”

The sales consultant, Zhang Xiaoqi, instantly became less enthusiastic. How could a ride-hailing driver afford a house?

*However*, she thought, *there are no absolutes. Maybe he has an old house and selling it would allow him to buy a new one.*

Yang Chen: “My surname is Yang.”

Meanwhile, Liang Jun was lying on the sofa playing games. Seeing Yang Chen enter, he quickly put away his phone and rushed over to greet him without putting on his shoes.

She was used to being the center of attention, so feeling ignored after offering a warm welcome made her uncomfortable.

Liang Jun quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, Mr. Yang, it’s all my fault. I won’t play anymore. I’ll delete all the games right now. If I ever play games again, I’m a dog.”

Previously, when negotiating the investment in Baorun Real Estate, the Jingcheng Municipal Government promised to do its best to help Baorun Real Estate and help it get out of its financial difficulties as soon as possible.

Longguo [China] has two famous internet-famous landmarks: Sanlitun Taikoo Li in Jingcheng [Beijing], and Sino-Ocean Taikoo Li in Shudu [Chengdu].

“Handsome, hello. Can I invite you to participate in an activity with me?” Kudo Kiki asked with a smile.

“Damn, they really switched the positions of the mountain and the water according to that ride-hailing driver’s idea!”

Kudo Kiki pouted with regret, watching Yang Chen walk away with disappointment.

At this time, an internet celebrity with the ID Kudo Kiki discussed the script with her partner and started their shooting for the day.

Yang Chen nodded and followed her to a table.

Zhang Xiaoqi poured a glass of water for Yang Chen and subtly began inquiring about his assets.

Kudo Kiki and her partner looked puzzled. Why couldn’t they upload the video when they filmed him?

Kudo Kiki: “I don’t believe it. Xiaoyu, upload the clip of him we just shot and try. I’ll go after him, and you can follow me later.”

After Yang Chen drove away, Liang Jun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Kudo Kiki was immediately puzzled and asked, “Handsome, why is filming you for content a waste of time?”

After speaking, Yang Chen left.

Kudo Kiki: “Then can you tell me why those two platforms want to block you?”

“You opened a booth, but you’re just drinking mineral water?” Kudo Kiki asked.

Her partner nodded, and Kudo Kiki immediately chased after Yang Chen.

Yang Chen looked at the phone filming him and asked, “Are you internet celebrities filming content?”

They were wrong. It wasn’t that Yang Chen knew the news in advance, but that Yang Chen had formulated the plan, and then the municipal government formulated their plan according to his.

Yang Chen took out his wallet, removed the black gold card of Haicheng Bank, placed it on the table, and said, “Full payment. Sign the contract immediately.”

This is something only Yang Chen would dare to think of. Others wouldn’t dare to have such an idea.

At this time, the group of passengers also came to look at the sand table [a miniature model of the real estate development].

Yang Chen: “It depends. I’m interested in the row on the southernmost side and the row on the northernmost side.”

Yang Chen nodded and replied, “I have to drive later, so I can’t drink. If you want to talk, sit down and don’t stand in front of me.”

Manager Kang Rongguang also thought Yang Chen was joking, but with so many customers watching, he still had to provide smiling service to avoid giving customers a bad impression.

“Forget it, it’s obvious that a rich person is driving a ride-hailing car to experience life.”

However, if it was just flattening the mountain and building a lake, such a large area would not be fully utilized, which would be too wasteful.

Kang Rongguang said with a smile: “It will scare you to death! He is the new major shareholder of the group and has just acquired 56% of the group’s shares. To be precise, it’s not that he knew the news in advance, but that he saw that the feng shui of the community was not good and asked the municipal government to re-plan everything around it according to his ideas. Amazing, right?”

Kang Rongguang: “Are you sure you want to buy 22 units?”

Yang Chen: “You’re not my girlfriend, why should I be considerate of you?”

That’s right, ordinary people can only understand being blocked. They would never have imagined that Yang Chen ordered these two platforms to block his image.

Zhang Xiaoqi nodded and quickly took Yang Chen to the sand table to introduce the buildings on the southernmost and northernmost sides.

“I said he must be experiencing life when he bought 22 houses at that time.”

Yang Chen: “Confirmed. Give me the east-facing units on the 15th to 25th floors of buildings 1 and 41.”

The hesitant customers became anxious.

Yang Chen: “These are not problems. Since facing the mountain and backing the water is not good, why not change it to facing the water and backing the mountain?”

Partner: “Then you have to cheer up, otherwise the video effect will not be good, and you’ll be scolded by fans.”

…

Those customers who were waiting for news surrounded him and asked Yang Chen if he really bought those 22 houses.

Yang Chen: “Why are you so clueless? I’m giving you a chance to prove yourself. You’re not working hard and you’re still acting like an emperor here? The sales situation in the community is not good, you’re not thinking of ways to improve it, and you’re still in the mood to play games?”

Kudo Kiki smiled at the camera and said, “I heard that all the handsome guys in Jingcheng come here to play. Tonight, we will randomly select some handsome guys. If I feel a connection with him, I’ll invite him to Lan Kwai Fong [a popular nightlife district] for a drink. Let’s go!”

Although her Mandarin is very standard and she is a native of Jingcheng, her father is Japanese. She has lived with her mother since birth and has hardly seen her biological father.

Boom!

Everyone in the sales office looked over.

Seeing that Yang Chen had no interest in her, Kudo Kiki also wanted to give up.

The onlookers curiously asked questions, especially the two passengers, who were the most excited.

Kang Rongguang: “Is Mr. Yang buying so many for investment?”

Kudo Kiki sat down angrily and asked the waiter to bring a cocktail.

Female passenger: “It’s facing the street, so it’s very noisy. Although the row on the south side is on the south side, the lighting is good. But it faces the small mountains in front, so the feng shui is not very good. The row on the north side is even less to consider. The lighting is not good, and it is relatively remote. You have to go around to the other three directions to buy things. It’s not easy for you to earn money driving ride-hailing cars, so don’t buy it and get stuck with it.”

At this time, Yang Chen walked over with his hands in his pockets, instantly catching Kudo Kiki’s eye.

Yang Chen drank water while watching the girls dance on the pole.

Kudo Kiki: “Alas… I also want to be in a better mood, but I haven’t met a handsome guy who can put me in a good mood.”

“My God, are ride-hailing drivers making so much money now?”

“Ah! This is Haicheng Bank’s black gold card. Only customers with deposits of no less than 100 million have it.”

In the afternoon, Liang Baoguo accompanied Yang Chen to the municipal government.

After speaking, she ran towards Yang Chen.

“Mr. Yang, do you know our house prices?” Kang Rongguang asked.

To put it bluntly, they just wanted to use this as an excuse to bargain.

Yang Chen nodded and followed Kang Rongguang to the general manager’s office.

Kudo Kiki’s eyes lit up, and she patted her partner and said, “Quick, quick, a handsome guy is here. He’s my type, get ready to film!”

Zhang Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, “Mr. Yang may not be very clear about our community. The south gate of our community is the main gate. Strictly speaking, it should be facing the mountain and backing the water.”

Oh my god, the system actually prompted that the video was in violation of regulations and illegal to upload!

“Cash deposits of no less than 100 million? Then he can really buy 22 houses in full at once.”

Kudo Kiki: “Handsome, you are too cruel. Are you not at all considerate of women?”

“Yes, yes, let’s treat you to dinner and reveal a little bit of news to us.”

“Is this your routine? Are you looking for a shill to put on a show for us? This routine is too low-level.”

There are really many internet celebrities here. You can see internet celebrities filming videos everywhere.

Good heavens, as soon as he entered, he saw two girls dancing on the pole.

Zhang Xiaoqi quickly turned around and shouted, “Manager! Manager! Come quickly! A customer wants to buy 22 houses!”

Liang Baoguo was also shocked by Yang Chen’s bold idea. It would be really impossible to persuade the municipal government to flatten the mountain and build a lake, and fill the pond to build a mountain.

Kang Rongguang was dumbfounded. This ride-hailing driver’s identity is really not simple. Even Liang Jun is so afraid of him.

“Little brother, do you have any inside information? Is there any new plan for this community?”

Yang Chen: “The 22 houses I want will be signed and traded normally. Later, Manager Kang will go out and announce the cancellation of all discounts. Before the group sends a notice to resume normal sales, you should try to sell as little as possible or not sell at all. I will talk to Chairman Liang about discussing with the municipal government to push down the mountain in front of the community to create an artificial lake and fill the pond behind to build a rockery. Those customers said that the feng shui of the community is not good because it faces the mountain and backs the water? Then we will switch the positions of the mountain and the water. After the re-planning, the community will be connected to commercial areas, hospitals, schools, parks, etc., and the price will increase by more than 90,000, or even reach 100,000, which is reasonable.”

Saying that, he took out his phone and deleted all the games in front of Yang Chen.

She was not discouraged and quickly uploaded it to Kuaishou [a video-sharing platform], but the system still prompted that the video was in violation of regulations and could not be uploaded.

Kudo Kiki: “Okay. God, give me a perfect man.”

“You can’t cancel the discount just because he bought 22 houses.”

“Do you want some discount and deliberately say you want to buy so many? That’s not how you bargain.”

Liang Jun quickly chased after him and helped Yang Chen block those entangled customers.

Yang Chen smiled and replied, “I don’t have any inside information. I’m just buying blindly. Sorry everyone, I have to go drive. Bye.”

The municipal government immediately held a special meeting to discuss the matter and finally accepted all the suggestions made by Yang Chen under the promotion of the mayor.

…

Kudo Kiki: “Then what do you do? Are you a model? You are not only handsome but also have a good figure.”

After randomly chatting with a few boys, Kudo Kiki felt very dissatisfied.

Kudo Kiki: “Kuaishou, Douyin [both are video-sharing platforms].”

Yang Chen: “Mainly for investment. I want the unit buildings on the southernmost and northernmost sides. Please introduce them to me.”

Kudo Kiki was shocked and then turned to ask, “Handsome, what did you do? Why are you being blocked by these two platforms at the same time?”

Good heavens, what a straight man of steel.

Her partner stopped filming and asked, “Kiki, cheer up. The effect of filming like this is not good.”

There are also several brand real estate developers such as Poly building projects there, so it is definitely necessary to build a branch of the No. 1 Middle School there.

“I don’t know if it looks good, but it’s quite new. I haven’t seen this kind of performance in the bars I used to go to,” Yang Chen replied truthfully.

Kang Rongguang nodded and quickly went to get the contract to complete the formalities.

Liang Jun said loudly: “Everyone, please be quiet. I am the general manager, Liang Jun. To be honest, we didn’t expect our project to be so popular. I think people like Mr. Yang who dare to buy 22 houses at once will definitely not buy them casually for no reason. There must be a reason for him. Therefore, we are now canceling all discounts to see if there will be any policy benefits in the future. It is a pity that you missed a wave of discounts.”

Kudo Kiki pretended to be shy and said, “If you can cooperate with me to film good content, I can be your girlfriend for a day. How about it?”

Therefore, Yang Chen also proposed the idea of moving the No. 1 Middle School there or building a new campus.

The middle-aged couple who had previously ridden in Yang Chen’s car were instantly dumbfounded when they saw the news.

The waiter nodded with a smile and said, “Understood! Please wait a moment, I will get you mineral water.”

“Handsome, please come this way,” Zhang Xiaoqi greeted.

The waiter was confused. What was the operation of opening a booth for thousands of dollars and drinking plain water?

“Handsome, our consumption here can offset the booth fee. You…”

“My God, is he really a ride-hailing driver? Why does he know news that we don’t know?”

“Ah? Is he a ride-hailing driver?

Then he must be talking nonsense, don’t believe him.”

The community does have this natural defect, and the customers deliberately emphasized this defect, so the sales consultants could not deny it, but it was even worse to admit it.

Yang Chen: “I have a house.”

After a while, the waiter brought a bottle of Evian mineral water.

Therefore, he opened a booth but only wanted plain water.

Seeing that Yang Chen was not joking, Zhang Xiaoqi stood up excitedly and said, “Mr. Yang, are you serious? You want all the east-facing units on the 15th to 25th floors of buildings 1 and 41? I’m taking it seriously.”

Kudo Kiki: “Wow, is the threshold for ride-hailing so high now? Have you ever thought about being a model? I have resources in this area. Your conditions are so good, you will definitely be popular in the modeling industry. Do you want to try it? I’m not a liar, really.”

Therefore, Kudo Kiki is essentially a second-generation rich person [a person born into wealth].

Woman: “That ride-hailing driver really has inside information! I remember he said that since facing the mountain and backing the water is not good, then change it to facing the water and backing the mountain. At that time, we laughed at him for being too naive; how could it be so easy to change the plan.”

Yang Chen: “Come on, complete the formalities for me. Give me the east-facing units on the 15th to 25th floors of buildings 1 and 41.”

Kudo Kiki put her hands on her hips and looked at Yang Chen with a helpless expression.

Zhang Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, “Mr. Yang, please don’t tease me. Which unit do you want to see? Whether you buy it or not, I can take you to see it. I have a very good attitude, and I will definitely provide the services I should provide. I won’t judge people by their appearance, so you don’t have to worry too much.”

Yang Chen: “If you film me and can’t upload it successfully, isn’t that a waste of time?”

The customers quickly surrounded Yang Chen.

…

After Yang Chen finished looking at the sand table and went back to sit down, the sales consultant Zhang Xiaoqi asked with a smile, “Mr. Yang, what do you think of our community? Are there any floors you are satisfied with?”

Other customers also quickly gathered around to watch the excitement. Buying 22 units at once is indeed a gimmick.

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, saying, “Of course. I am very optimistic about the future development prospects of this community. I will buy it now while others are not optimistic about it and wait for the price to increase later.”

Yang Chen: “Oh, then you should find someone else to film. Filming me is a waste of time.”

“Handsome, my name is Kudo Kiki, what’s your name?” Kudo Kiki asked.

Her partner quickly picked up the phone to film.

Yang Chen: “I said it faces the water and backs the mountain, and it faces the water and backs the mountain. It’s just that the name of the community is not good. It should be renamed Baorun Lakeside Residence, which sounds much better than Baorun Allegory.”

Man: “Oh no, regret, regret. I shouldn’t have doubted him at that time. I lost millions in just two days.”

…

Kang Rongguang: “This is the big boss! I’m not convinced. Okay, everyone, send messages to your potential customers now and tell them the news that our community has changed its name and increased its price.”

Kudo Kiki took off her black trench coat, wearing black stockings and a black dress, looking very “seductive”.

Yang Chen: “Which platform are you an internet celebrity on?”

Now that he was here, he naturally wanted to take a walk around and have fun.

Yang Chen:

“I already told you, filming me is a waste of time.”

Liang Jun and Kang Rongguang were stunned when they heard Yang Chen’s words.

“Manager, who is he? Have you found out?”

At this time, four boys walked over.

Of course, Yang Chen doesn’t care about the money earned from speculating on houses, but he just wants to stabilize the house prices and wait for the group to announce the results of the negotiations with the municipal government. At that time, the house prices will rise sharply.

“Wow, the new major shareholder of the group! My God, then why is he still driving a ride-hailing car?”

…

At this time, Kudo Kiki was flirting with Yang Chen.

After speaking, Yang Chen took the packaging bag containing the contract and left the sales office.

Kang Rongguang quickly showed the contract to everyone and announced, “I officially announce that all discounts will be canceled from now on.”

Yang Chen shook his head and said, “I’m not interested. Don’t follow me, I’m not used to walking around with strangers.”

At this time, the sales office.

Yang Chen strolled around for a while and came to the entrance of Lan Kwai Fong.

However, since Yang Chen has put forward this idea, he must try it regardless of whether it can be successful.

Yang Chen: “I’m not teasing you. I want all the east-facing units on the 15th to 25th floors of the easternmost buildings on the north and south sides.”

Yang Chen: “Of course. I am optimistic about this community.”

Calculated according to a 10% net profit, Baorun Group can earn a net profit of 4.62 billion through this community.

Kudo Kiki nodded and said, “Yes! Can you cooperate? Please. I’ll treat you to a drink at Lan Kwai Fong later. Okay?”

Yang Chen doesn’t come to this kind of occasion often. It’s the first time he’s seen this kind of scene. Do all the bars here play so openly?

Kudo Kiki is very popular in this area. Because she is a beautiful internet celebrity, both men and women are very polite to her. It is really the first time she has met a man like Yang Chen who doesn’t take her seriously.

There were also some customers looking at the sand table, and they also talked about the feng shui problems of the community.

It is not easy to get approval to push down the mountains in front and fill the ponds behind to build rockeries, and it can even be said that it is impossible to get it.

Yang Chen parked the car and walked in with the crowd.

“Little brother, aren’t you joking? Can a ride-hailing driver buy so many houses at once? Don’t lie.”

If it is really possible to switch the positions of the mountain and the water, it is not a big deal to spend several hundred million, and the Jingcheng Municipal Government has given Jin Ming a guarantee that it will do its best to help Baorun Real Estate return to the right track.

…

The little internet celebrity just mentioned this bar, so Yang Chen went in to take a look.

Kang Rongguang also nodded quickly and replied, “Understood.”

Several sales consultants were embarrassed and didn’t know how to answer.

Kang Rongguang quickly said, “Mr. Yang, please come with me, I will take you to see our branch general manager.”

At this time, her partner chased after her and said to Kudo Kiki, “I just uploaded his video, and both Kuaishou and Douyin prompted that the video was in violation of regulations and could not be uploaded.”

The waiter hadn’t finished speaking when Yang Chen interrupted, “Thank you, I understand. But I’m driving, so I can’t drink. The booth fee should be charged as it should be, and you can get me a glass of plain water, mineral water is fine. I mainly want to feel the atmosphere here. Do you understand what I mean?”

Liang Jun and Kang Rongguang nodded and stood respectfully in front of Yang Chen, listening.

“Alas… I’m really unlucky tonight. I finally met a boy who is my type, but he was blocked. I don’t know what illegal things he did that he could be blacklisted by two different platforms at the same time,” Kudo Kiki couldn’t help but complain.

Zhang Xiaoqi: “Handsome, do you have a house now, or do you rent a house?”

She tried a few more times, and the situation was the same.

Because he had to drive, Yang Chen definitely couldn’t drink.

The couple laughed and continued to look at the sand table.

Yang Chen: “I don’t know, anyway, I was blocked.”

Man: “I went! Why did the community change its name, and the price has increased so much?”

At this time, the manager was talking to a customer who intended to sign a contract. Hearing Zhang Xiaoqi’s shout, he was so frightened that he sat on the floor and then ran over like a rocket.

Zhang Xiaoqi felt much better and asked, “Then this time, are you buying it for yourself or for investment? Are you going to sell the old house?”

Yang Chen smiled slightly and said, “What a coincidence. Come closer, don’t block my view of the performance.”

“What’s the situation? Why did you suddenly cancel all the discounts?”

Selling one unit at the current price means earning less for each unit sold.

Yang Chen roughly estimated that there are four households per two elevators, 33 floors per building, and a total of 50 buildings. Calculated at 7 million yuan per unit, the total revenue of the entire community after being sold out is approximately 46.2 billion yuan.

“Alas… I feel like I missed a billion! It has increased so much in just two days. I am really convinced. He is so bold, he bought the house first, and then let the municipal government formulate the plan according to his ideas. How is he so confident?”

Yang Chen: “Give me the east-facing units on the 15th to 25th floors of the two easternmost buildings on the south and north sides.”

“Hehe… I knew it was you! Handsome, we meet again!” Kudo Kiki said with a smile.

Zhang Xiaoqi smiled awkwardly and said, “We may not be able to satisfy Mr. Yang. The name of the community, the planning layout, etc., have all been filed, and we can’t change them.”

It can now be determined that it is really impossible to upload the picture of that handsome guy.

Yang Chen: “What do you do? My job is driving a ride-hailing car.”

This girl’s eyes are sparkling when she looks at Yang Chen. She is indeed a girl with Japanese blood.

The sales consultants nodded and quickly sent messages to their customers.

I don’t know how long it took, Yang Chen was watching the pole dance performance when a girl suddenly jumped in front of him.

…

Her partner found the picture of Yang Chen and uploaded it directly to Douyin.

Yang Chen: “Haha… Then you must take it seriously!”

Block?

Now the average price of the community is 78,000. If, according to Yang Chen’s idea, the mountains on the south side are taken down and turned into artificial lakes, and a wetland park and water park are built, and the pond on the north side is filled and made into a rockery, and the west side is connected to Baorun Commercial Plaza, and the east side is connected to Poly’s project, the price of Baorun Allegory will definitely rise, and it is not difficult to reach more than 90,000, and it is not impossible to touch 100,000.

“Kiki, what a coincidence?”

“Are you dating? When did it happen? You have good taste; your boyfriend is so handsome!”

“That’s not fair! Why are you suddenly dating?”

“So you and Zhang Yan are really just acting? I thought you two were dating.”

Kudo Kiki stood up and said with a smile: “Don’t talk nonsense, this is a friend I just met tonight. Zhang Yan and I were originally just acting, Zhang Yan, don’t you think so?”
