How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 94

The Opportunity to Take a Shortcut is Denied – What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money?

“Mr. Wu, have you seen the news? There’s been a once-in-a-century rainstorm in Yuzhou,” Yang Chen asked.

Wu Xiurong hummed in acknowledgment and said, “I saw it. What about it?”

“Mr. Wu, donate all 50 million [Chinese Yuan] to Yuzhou, and your company will naturally come back to life. If it fails to change your company’s fate, I’m willing to bear the 50 million cost. If it goes as I say and your company turns its fate around, I only want 10 million for the proposal fee. What do you think, Mr. Wu?” Yang Chen replied.

Wu Xiurong felt a sense of sudden clarity.

There are many forms of advertising, so why focus solely on TV and online ads?

The solution Yang Chen mentioned is also a form of advertising.

However, he then frowned deeply.

If a company’s fate could be turned around by donations, there would be no bankrupt companies in the world.

“Mr. Yang, you’re making things too simple, aren’t you?” Wu Xiurong said.

Yang Chen always judges heroes by their results. No matter the process, if the result is good, it’s good. If the result is bad, no matter how good the process, it’s ultimately bad.

So, Yang Chen said, “How about this, Mr. Wu, let us handle this case. We can specify in the contract that if our company’s plan fails to turn around your company’s fate, we’ll bear the 50 million cost. If we successfully turn around your company’s fate, I only want 10 million for the planning fee. There’s no risk for Mr. Wu. If it fails, you won’t spend a penny and you’ll gain a good reputation. If it succeeds, your company will reverse its decline, and the money you earn will definitely be more than just a few tens of millions. Giving us 10 million as a reward isn’t excessive. No matter the outcome, you’re guaranteed to make a profit, aren’t you?”

Wu Xiurong was really tempted by what Yang Chen said.

It’s like they give goods to distributors without charging them, and the distributors only pay after they sell the goods. If the distributors don’t sell all of them, they can return the remaining ones, thus ensuring that the distributors make a profit without fail.

Now, the policy Yang Chen is giving him is similar to this, guaranteeing that Hongxing Group will only make a profit and not lose.

Wu Xiurong said with a smile, “Since Mr. Yang is so confident, I don’t want to say anything more. Then I’ll leave it to you. I’ll wait to see the results.”

“No problem! I’ll have the company manager contact you about the details. Just wait and see the results,” Yang Chen said.

Wu Xiurong laughed heartily and said, “Okay! I admire Mr. Yang’s courage. If it really turns out as you say and you can turn around our company’s fate, we’ll give all our company’s advertising business to you in the future.”

“No problem, I believe we definitely won’t let Mr. Wu down,” Yang Chen said confidently.

Hanging up the phone, Yang Chen explained in detail to Xu Xiaoli what needed to be done next.

Xu Xiaoli took out a voice recorder to record everything Yang Chen said, and then printed it out word for word to follow.

Previously, the employees didn’t understand why Yang Chen wanted a receptionist to be the manager, but Yang Chen had his own considerations.

First, there was no suitable candidate, and hiring a manager temporarily might not necessarily be useful.

Second, Xu Xiaoli had been working in administration for several years. Although she didn’t understand the specific advertising planning business, she had good relationships with everyone in the company and knew how to win people’s hearts, which is exactly the ability a leader should have.

Third, Xu Xiaoli was honest, dutiful, and particularly hardworking.

In short, Yang Chen didn’t feel comfortable entrusting the company to others. He just needed someone to be the hub between him and the company, and Xu Xiaoli fit that role perfectly.

After explaining what to do, Yang Chen didn’t need to worry anymore.

Yang Chen said goodbye to Li Zhengyuan and left the building.

The highest temperature outside today reached 40°C [104°F], which was simply deadly.

However, Yang Chen still went out to drive diligently.

In order to maintain his overall rating, he had to take more good reviews to raise his score.

Otherwise, if he got a bad review one day and lowered his score, he might be restricted from taking orders.

At this time, in the general manager’s office of Heyun Advertising Company.

Zhang Jiankun was reporting to the boss, Xu Xin, about the Hongxing Group case.

Zhang Jiankun: “Ms. Xu, don’t worry, I personally went to Fujian, hosted their person in charge, and gave him 1 million worth of tea as a gift. There’s absolutely no problem with this case.”

Xu Xin: “Okay. If you get this case, you can move in with me. You don’t have to worry about my son; he has a girlfriend and rarely comes back.”

Zhang Jiankun: “Okay.”

Xu Xin: “Don’t call me Ms. Xu when there’s no one around, call me baby.”

Zhang Jiankun: “Okay, Ms. Xu… okay, baby.”

Xu Xin nodded in satisfaction.

Since Yang Chen smashed his head last time, Zhang Jiankun decided to take a shortcut to get ahead as soon as possible, so as to avenge the head-smashing incident.

The boss, Xu Xin, had been interested in him for a long time, but he couldn’t accept the 18-year age gap between them, so he had never accepted Xu Xin.

After Yang Chen smashed his head, he figured it out. Having an older woman wasn’t bad either; he could struggle 20 years less.

At this moment, Zhang Jiankun’s phone rang.

He took it out and saw that it was a call from the person in charge of Hongxing who was in contact with him.

Zhang Jiankun said with a smile, “Baby, the other party is calling; it must be that the project has been confirmed.”

Xu Xin was overjoyed and quickly said, “Speakerphone, speakerphone, I want to listen too.”

Zhang Jiankun nodded, quickly answered the phone, and put it on speakerphone.

Zhang Jiankun: “Hello, Manager Chen, what’s the word?”

Manager Chen: “Hello, Manager Zhang, I’m sorry, the company decided to give the case to Chenguang Advertising Company. I’m very sorry; your cooperation will have to wait until next time.”

Zhang Jiankun and Xu Xin’s expressions changed drastically at the same time.

Zhang Jiankun: “Ah? Why give it to Chenguang? Our case is very good.”

Manager Chen: “This is something our chairman personally decided. It is said that the boss of Chenguang personally came up with the plan, which deeply moved our chairman.”

Zhang Jiankun: “Chenguang boss? Who is it?”

Manager Chen: “It seems to be called Yang Chen… or Yang Chen, anyway, that’s the sound. I’m sorry this time; I couldn’t help. Next time, I will definitely help you. I still have to contact Chenguang to sign the contract, so I’ll hang up first.”

As soon as Zhang Jiankun heard the name Yang Chen, he was stunned.

Xu Xin quickly searched online for Chenguang Advertising Company. The legal representative was Yang Chen, and the registration date was two weeks ago.

Xu Xin was furious and said, “Are you kidding me? You can’t even compete with a company that was just registered two weeks ago? And you even gave away a million-dollar gift! I warn you, immediately find a way to get that million back for me, or you will bear this million and have to pack up and leave!”

Zhang Jiankun quickly called Yang Chen.

Yang Chen: “Hello, who is this?”

Zhang Jiankun: “It’s me! Zhang Jiankun! I’m asking you, is Chenguang Advertising Company yours?”

Yang Chen: “Yes! What’s the matter?”

Zhang Jiankun: “Why are you robbing me of Hongxing’s order? Do you know you ruined me?”

Yang Chen: “Damn! What you said is really interesting. Everyone is competing fairly. You are limited in your ability and can’t get the order. You don’t blame yourself for being incompetent, but you blame me for competing with you?”

Zhang Jiankun: “I was definitely going to get the case. What crooked methods did you use to steal the order?”

Yang Chen: “You will know my plan soon. I’m not talking anymore; I’m still driving.”

After speaking, Yang Chen hung up the phone and blacklisted Zhang Jiankun.

Zhang Jiankun was dumbfounded and at a loss.

He originally thought of sacrificing his body to take a shortcut, but he didn’t expect that the shortcut was blocked by Yang Chen before he even got on it.

Oh God, don’t play with people like this!
