Star Tycoon

Chapter 134 Small County Town

Tian Ersan did not tell anyone about this year's sales figures, nor did he report the turnover like he did during the August shopping festival.

But everyone knows that this time they will definitely earn more than last time.

This time, various companies prepared three times more goods than last time, and they quickly sold a large quantity at an unimaginable speed.

Spicy strips, toilet paper, thermos flasks, sunflower seeds, eight-treasure porridge, instant noodles, sweet potato noodles, ham sausages, cured meat, MSG, candy, cooking oil, braising spices...

If the price is right, it will quickly drain away like water from a tap.

Unfortunately, Tian Ersan closed the shopping interface when the time came, displaying a complete sell-out message and not giving other merchants the opportunity to continue sending money.

People didn't believe it before, but this time they really believe that this kid's mind isn't on making money.

****
On the last day, everyone went out for a farewell lunch after get off work.

Wang Zihan and four wives from the administrative office went to a high-end hotel near the residential area for dinner.

High-end options are very limited. Most high-end hotels here are just accommodations, and the slightly well-known restaurants are basically just a bunch of dilapidated courtyards, not much different from rural banquets.

High-end restaurants are extremely rare in small county towns, and consumption is mainly based on affordability, with limited truly "upscale" options.

It's 2014, and the pedestrian street is just a street. There are no famous squares, no cinemas, no well-known hot pot brands, not even McDonald's and KFC that are ubiquitous in big cities, and nothing worse either!

Not a single one.

The local area only has internet cafes, billiard halls, and traditional KTVs; there are no modern entertainment complexes. People from the county town go to the city or the neighboring city for their entertainment needs.

There is no high-speed rail, the highway network is underdeveloped, and the urban population is small, mostly consisting of rural residents and migrant workers.

The city is only inhabited by students and civil servants.

The per capita disposable income in the county is about 1.5 yuan, and the per capita net income of rural residents is about 6000 yuan per year!
The county's total fiscal revenue for the year was 6.5 million yuan!
The group of married women who received a prize of over 7,000 yuan looked around but couldn't find a single restaurant that was even slightly upscale.

Qian Sisi said, "Let's go to the bank first, I'll deposit the money there."

Everyone agreed and quickly went to the bank near the company.

As the year draws to a close, there are many more people withdrawing, depositing, and sending money.

The arrival of four beautiful women and a little girl attracted the attention of many elderly people and young boys and girls.

Upon seeing this, a female bank employee responsible for maintaining order quickly came over.

Chang Huixuan asked, "Are you from Chengbang Company?"

Hua Linyan and the others all smiled.

"Yes, we've come to deposit money."

Chang Huixuan said enthusiastically, "We have a special channel for large companies here. Many of your company's employees came to deposit money today. They are all very beautiful. If you give out bonuses next time, our company can send someone over to help with the on-site business."

"this way please."

Hua Linyan and the others followed the bank staff into the VIP room, instead of queuing up with the others.

After the five people entered the house, they closed the door to isolate themselves from the outside world and prevent the children outside from peeking in.

Besides Chang Huixuan, there was another young female employee in the room, dressed in a beautiful bank uniform, looking like a recent college graduate.

"Xiao Chen, pour some tea."

"Okay!" Chen Lanxin smiled and went to pour water to make tea, and also took out candy and melon seeds to treat the adults and children.

The four of them sat on the sofa and waited.

Chang Huixuan sat at her computer desk and smiled, saying, "Your company's salaries are really high. They're higher than our bank's salaries over a year."

Hua Linyan smiled but remained silent, while Qian Sisi smiled and said, "Your bank is stable, we are a private enterprise."

Chang Huixuan flattered, "Your boss earns more money in a year than all the people in our county combined."

Hua Linyan felt that it was a bit of an exaggeration.

"Not that much. If a million people each earn a hundred, that's a hundred million. They'd earn at least ten thousand a year. Our boss doesn't earn a hundred billion."

A woman like her wouldn't pay attention to the data in her county at all.

Chen Lanxin stood to the side and smiled, saying, "Out of a million people, excluding the elderly, children, and women who don't work, only a quarter can earn money. Your boss Tian isn't just capable of earning a little over a billion; he's just too lazy to work after he's made money. Otherwise, he could earn at least several billion a year!"

Chang Huixuan raised her head and said, "That's right. To be honest, we've been to your company several times, but we haven't even seen your boss. The interest rates offered by our bank are definitely higher than those offered by the commercial bank."

For all the bank branches in this small county, the business from Tian Ersan's place is equivalent to all their other business!

They could even open a separate branch just for him, exclusively serving his company.

Qian Sisi smiled and said, "We can't make that decision."

Chen Lanxin asked curiously, "You're from the administrative office, right?"

The four wives looked at Chen Lanxin.

Chen Lanxin explained, "Everyone in the county knows about your company. I have connections in the Industry and Commerce Bureau, and I've processed licenses for your company before."

Chang Huixuan said, "Xiao Chen's father is the director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau, and even then, he can't get a meeting with your General Manager Tian."

The four wives sat up straight, feeling somewhat awkward as if they were being treated like pampered young ladies. In a daze, they deposited the money, then went home in silence.

The bonus of over seven thousand yuan no longer seems like much money, and my husband's family, whom I once thought was decent, suddenly seems terrible.

Tian Ersan really doesn't need to pay attention to the director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau; the director can't control him.

The other county leaders were similar; Tian Ersan refused to attend any banquets or receptions, and also refused to do anything.

The county can't control him, and the city and province want to, but they can't persuade him to stay.

Tian Ersan didn't just sit in his bank account after making money; he boosted the sales of agricultural and food products across the province and then distributed the money to various towns and cities, creating jobs for many people in various industries, including fruit farmers, garment workers, cotton textile workers, transportation, and wholesale.

He was even able to sell oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, vermicelli, and flour, which were readily available everywhere.

The number of garment workers and delivery personnel directly and indirectly employed alone is several thousand. If the economic impact is taken into account, one-tenth of the people in the small county have benefited.

Because more than 50 companies stocked their products at Tian Ersan's store, the sales volume exceeded 10 billion yuan in half a year, with a net profit of nearly 1 billion yuan.

The tax exemption policy was granted by the province, and no one expected him to be so aggressive at first.

They're just saying they regret it now, but everyone knows what level this kind of company is in the county or city.

An absolute industry leader!
It doesn't involve pollution, smuggling, or dangerous chemicals; it only involves basic industries like agricultural product processing and garment manufacturing, which significantly improve the income of farmers and women at the grassroots level.

The area is a traditional agricultural city with a large number of wheat fields, cotton fields, and vegetable fields. Even the few hilly and saline lands that cannot be used to grow crops are used to grow fruit trees and raise pigs and cattle, leaving no empty land. As a result, there are a large number of people living in poverty!

Cotton and yellow peaches can both be processed by Tian Ersan, and agricultural products, pork, mutton and beef can also be sold online. The economic benefits generated are far more important than the tax revenue.

Don't even mention the daughter of the director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau, even the daughter of the county magistrate wouldn't be acceptable.

The small county is still in chaos. The county is not capable of hosting the CEO of a multi-billion dollar group; the level is simply not high enough.

Tian Ersan shouldn't have appeared in this small, run-down county town; he should have gone to a big city.

But he just wouldn't leave; he was content to live a life like being in prison in the small county town.

What if he leaves after we send someone over?

They tried to get him to go to the provincial capital, but he refused!
Many regions have tried to lure him over by offering land, buildings, and tax breaks, but nobody understands what he's thinking.

Tian Ersan gives the impression of being the kind of person who plans ten steps ahead before taking one.

Although Tian Er San himself did not promote it, some people with connections quickly obtained Tian Er San's sales results this time.

In twenty days, from the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month to the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, the total sales reached 91 billion!
Including Tian Ersan's sales figures over the past six months, it has easily surpassed 10 billion yuan, officially becoming a 10 billion yuan group!
No one could get in touch with Tian Ersan. Tian Ersan's social media posts showed him quietly reading and studying for a week, not answering the phone, and ignoring everything.

So someone called Li Cuihua.

Li Cuihua: What are you doing? Who are you?

Li Wei replied, "Hello, I am Li Wei from the Shenzhen Investment Promotion Office. I would like to ask Mr. Tian why he stayed in Tao County instead of developing his business elsewhere? Tao County is not good for him, but other places would definitely be better for him."

Li Cuihua replied directly, "He plans to recruit some people and start a trillion-dollar tech company to play around with. Currently, we can't find 100 IT professionals in the entire county. The total broadband bandwidth in the county is less than the toilet at the headquarters of an internet group."

He's currently studying and will start recruiting once the substation is built, the power grid is operational, and the new company is established. That should take about three or four years.

"Don't bother him with those calls. If you need anything, just come to me. I'm the vice president now. Even though my words don't carry much weight, I can still relay messages."

Li Wei overheard the big secret, but he was still very curious. "Where did you learn computer skills?"

Li Cuihua: "Of course I learned it online! If a sixteen-year-old can do it, why can't I, at thirty-six, do it too!"

Li Wei quickly said, "Don't get excited, I didn't mean anything by it. Please tell Mr. Tian that our city warmly welcomes Mr. Tian to start a business here and is willing to offer him three times the preferential treatment!"

Li Cuihua: "Okay! I'll talk to him for you after the New Year."

Li Wei: "Thank you!"

Not long after Li Cuihua hung up the phone, it rang again.

"Hey! Who is it?"

"Hello, I'm from the Shancheng Municipal Party Committee. Is General Manager Tian here?"

"Tell me, I'm Li Cuihua, the deputy general manager here!" Li Cuihua chuckled and said, "Just tell me! I'll pass on your message!"

Li Cuihua showed no impatience whatsoever; she enjoyed this kind of gossipy, yet irresponsible activity.

Before Tian Ersan brought Li Cuihua out, he had already been working on a trillion-yuan conglomerate.

It wasn't that Li Cuihua couldn't control her mouth; it was that Tian Ersan had mentioned the billion-dollar group during his previous live stream, but at the time, most people thought that Tian Ersan couldn't even earn 100 million.

Now, Tian Ersan has not only easily earned his small goal, but also achieved sales of 10 billion yuan within half a year.

A trillion dollars isn't far off.

Many people started looking for Tian Ersan's previous videos.

Especially the video content with the title "Sharing Economy".

Shared bikes?

While the dull-witted are still pondering, the wise began planning for the sharing economy the very day Tian Ersan's assets exceeded 100 million.
