Chapter 473 The Reason Behind the Cheapness

"The more you dig, the cleaner it gets; it's so dark it can't be touched."

Public opinion has shifted, and some curious livestreamers have begun to verify the receipts posted by Zhou Jingshu with various organizations.

The answers received were all: True!

"Collecting rent in Hong Kong is clean and tidy, and he even donated 2 million. You can only say that he deserves to be rich. Other rich people are not so generous."

I'm so envious!

"Where can I get an uncle like this? I'll apply and get on the waiting list. I don't need a courtyard house or an apartment complex, just an apartment in Hong Kong will do."

"I only need one piece of clothing from Fan Li."

……

The storm passed just like that.

Guan Xiaoyu was not greatly affected. She worked at the foundation, and her colleagues knew her identity and were not surprised.

Zhou Xu was greatly affected.

After working at the school for over thirty years, he was suddenly exposed, and his colleagues were very curious, never expecting that there was a very wealthy person hiding among them.

This curiosity won't stop anytime soon.

Amid the public outcry, the biggest beneficiary was undoubtedly Shengxiang Home Furnishings City, whose donation of over 20 billion yuan was revealed, further enhancing its brand image.

The most direct result was in sales. Within a month of the video's release, sales at domestic stores surged by 30%, leaving competitors in a difficult position.

And that was the end of it.

Chen Yanche had finished his graduation defense and looked very relaxed: "Dear senior brothers and sisters, junior brothers and sisters, it's my treat today, let's go."

"Let's eat the big fish, let's go."

No one is polite to Chen Yanche. After so many years of getting along, everyone knows he's a tycoon and will take any opportunity to rip him off.

Recently, it was revealed that this guy's mother is the founder of three high-end luxury brands: Fanli, Liyuan, and Qiuli, so people are even less polite now.

They all clamored to have a good meal.

"Alright, go ahead and eat your fill today."

When it comes to dining, Chen Yanche is never stingy. He led everyone to Xinghuo No. 2 Building and headed straight for the restaurant on the top floor: "You guys order your own food, don't be shy."

"No need to be polite, you'll have to punish yourself with three drinks later."

Clearly, they were going to take the fall today. One of the men, whose forehead was slightly thinning, narrowed his eyes and asked, "What exactly is your purpose, kid?"

"We're graduating soon, so I'm treating everyone to a nice meal. What could be the purpose? Senior Brother Lin, what are you saying? You'll have to punish yourself with three drinks later."

"I don't believe you for a second." Lin Yi chuckled.

Touching his sparse forehead, he said, "Today's not a farewell banquet, it's a trap, isn't it? If you don't make it clear, we brothers won't dare to order any dishes."

Another girl with short hair added, "Junior, we all have the same teacher, everyone knows each other. Just say what you want to say directly. Stop beating around the bush, that's not like you."

"Senior Sister Qiao is so cool!"

Chen Yanche picked up the teapot, turned it around, and poured tea for everyone first: "You all know about the business plan I prepared in the past year, right?"

"You don't really want to do it, do you?" Qiao Yu frowned.

Chen Yanche's business plan was improved with the help of several doctoral students. It was interesting and worth studying, but it had no practical value.

Leaving aside the problems that may be encountered during implementation, the resources required for the entire plan alone are not something that one person or one company can accomplish.

It requires a huge amount of resources to be integrated.

Seeing Chen Yanche nod, Qiao Yu shook her head: "You should know yourself what resources are needed for the whole plan."

"I want to do it precisely because I understand it."

Chen Yanche took out cigarettes and handed them out to the boys: "If I said I could handle all the resources needed for the whole plan, would anyone want to join me?"

"Still half asleep." Lin Yi lit a cigarette.

After taking a deep breath, he laughed and scolded, "If you can handle all the resources needed for planting, transportation, promotion, and sales, I'll risk my life to accompany you."

Chen Yanche looked at the others, mainly several graduate and doctoral students who were about to graduate.

Seeing this, Qiao Yu said irritably, "Just saying it is one thing, but you're actually taking it seriously? Hey, why are you staring at me? Fine, if you can get your hands on some resources, I'll get involved too."

Having dealt with the two PhDs, Chen Yanche grinned and said, "It's a deal, no backing out. Drills and steel needles, I'll teach you a lesson today."

"Everyone has participated in the Chinatown supermarket project, you should know about it, right?"

“I know you have connections.” Qiao Yu nodded.

Chen Yanche rolled his eyes at her: "What do you mean by having connections? The Chinatown Supermarket belongs to my family, and I will be in charge of managing it from now on."

"To be precise, it's mine!"

"After our family splits up, the Chinatown Supermarket will be given to me. Will this plan, with the Chinatown Supermarket as the main entity, be feasible?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the private room fell silent.

One by one, the doctoral students and graduate students looked at Chen Yanche as if he were a monster. This guy was the crown prince of a business empire.

Everyone started making plans in their minds.

Chinatown Supermarket is the largest retailer in mainland China and the third largest globally. It can solve the sales problem and also the biggest challenge of the entire plan.

Maybe it really works.

Following along isn't a bad idea. If it works out, you'll become a core member or even a founder, and the compensation will definitely be good. Qiao Yu pondered for a moment: "Using the Chinatown supermarket as the main entity does have potential. Sales channels can be solved, but planting and breeding are the challenges."

"I come from the countryside."

“Our family farms, grows vegetables, and raises chickens, ducks, and cattle. We basically can’t do without pesticides and fertilizers. It’s not that simple to produce green food.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Yanche nodded slightly: "It is indeed a very big problem, especially when it is large-scale. A single pest can cause great harm."

"But it's not unsolvable. Have you all heard of Tianhe Agricultural Group?"

If you ask ordinary people, probably not many would know; who would care about these things if they didn't have time to do so? But these people who do economic research really do know.

Tianhe Agriculture Group is no small company; it is extremely large, with extensive land holdings in Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Africa.

"It's from our family too!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked and then raised their middle fingers. Chen Yanche continued, "Tianhe Agricultural Group has demonstration farms in many countries."

"There are definitely no technical problems. Once the plan begins, a technical team will be assigned to support us. You can rest assured in this regard."

“Then count me in!” Qiao Yu nodded.

Both Chinatown Supermarket and Tianhe Agricultural Group are behemoths, and Chen Yanche's business plan is very likely to succeed.

Since that's the case, it's not out of the question to give it a shot.

If I succeed, I'll be financially independent. Even if I fail, will my junior brother treat me badly?
Lin Yi nodded in agreement. In addition, two other graduate students also agreed. The others either had other plans or had not yet graduated.

Chen Yanche was already very satisfied with this.

With the addition of two PhDs and two Masters, and by drawing in a group of people from other companies, the framework of the entire company can be established.

"Yan Yin, um... this..."

Seeing her husband's hesitant manner, Chen Yanyin said irritably, "Do you have a sore throat? People who don't know better would think I'm terrifying, and that's why I won't let you speak."

Lu You said with a sullen smile, "My sister just called and said that my eldest brother and sister-in-law are also coming. They're so shameless and insist on coming. We can't stop them."

"My sister said she might not come at all."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yanyin narrowed her eyes: "Let them come. They're relatives visiting the capital. We're the hosts, how can we not entertain them? It's no big deal."

"Are you really going to let him come?" Lu You frowned.

Lu You disliked his elder brother and sister-in-law very much. When he first brought his wife home, they came to sabotage him. They were unwilling to even lend a hand during the wedding.

They're not even as close as neighbors, let alone blood brothers.

These things are secondary; the key issue is the elderly couple. They have no intention of fulfilling their filial duties, only wanting to leech off the elderly couple.

"Come on, what are you going to do to stop me?"

Chen Yanyin stretched and teased, "If relatives come and you won't even let them in the door, people will laugh at us when we go back to our hometown."

"You'll have a lot of trouble then."

"If you're upset, so be it. In this life, there are some things you can't avoid. Who doesn't have some troubles? Even the clay sculptures in the temple complain that the people making wishes are unrealistic."

Upon hearing this, Lu You smiled wryly.

My wife may be lazy, but she's more insightful than I am and she's really good to our family. I'm so lucky to have her in this life.

While he was out making a phone call, Chen Yanyin slightly raised the corners of her mouth. Naturally, she didn't like Lu You's elder brother and sister-in-law.

They came here just to take advantage of us.

When the resort opened, Lu Yan was put in charge of all the management. Lu Ming and Cao Ning were very envious and said some irresponsible things in a sour tone.

Chen Yanyin didn't bother with it.

Since her parents-in-law were unwilling to live in the capital for an extended period, and Lu Ming and Cao Ning were unwilling to fulfill their filial duties, the burden of caring for the elderly fell on Lu Yan's shoulders.

The shares in the resort were compensation for Lu Yan, a way for her and her husband to fulfill their filial duty.

As for Lu Ming and Cao Ning, they only wanted to take advantage of the situation.

Little did they know that there was a price to pay for cheap deals: "Having seen the glitz and glamour, how many people can remain calm? How many can accept the stark contrast in their lives?"

"If you can't resist the temptation, you'll suffer the consequences later."

Shaking her head, Chen Yanyin began to organize some things, tidying up her collections and locking the door behind her.

That family's brat is no ordinary brat.

Don't ruin it!
As graduation season approached, the Lu family came from Guilin, and Chen Yanyin arranged for three vans, driven by bodyguards, to pick them up from the airport.

When the Lu family members came out, Chen Yanyin hurriedly went to greet them and then picked up Little Sweet Potato: "Little Sweet Potato, did you miss your aunt?"

The little girl nodded repeatedly and kissed her.

Chen Yanyin kissed her back: "You've grown quite a bit taller. In another two years, your aunt won't be able to carry you anymore."

Lu Yan laughed and said, "Just put her down and let her walk by herself. This girl is growing taller by the day, and I can't carry her for long."

"While you can still carry me, hold me a little longer."

Chen Yanyin tapped the little girl's nose: "Let's go, everyone. After such a long flight, let's go home and rest for a while."

As we exited the airport, three luxury vans pulled up one after the other, accompanied by three bodyguards in sharp uniforms standing guard at the car doors.

Lu Yan narrowed her eyes slightly, thinking to herself, "Yan Yin probably has something in mind!"

This wasn't a big deal when we came here before.
