Star Tycoon

Chapter 73 What people want

Tian Ersan's orphan status did not have a significant impact at first; it had a limited effect and did not specifically target people from Shandong Province.

What truly allowed the business to penetrate the Shandong market was Tian Ersan's desperate attempt to seek refuge in Donghai City after his incident.

Just like an orphan child coming to seek refuge with relatives, it instantly broke down the defenses of a large number of people from Shandong Province.

The large-scale purchase of canned goods on the first day of their arrival, and their subsequent efforts to influence the broadcasts on Donghai City and the provincial television station, were all part of Tian Ersan's scheme.

With the promotion on television, more and more people in Shandong Province are supporting him.

Compared to mobile phones and computers, television stations have a more powerful reach and are more likely to inform the public and encourage them to donate money to buy canned food for the poor child.

The subsequent professional reports were also helpful, but clearly not as effective as the one from the TV station.

As it turned out, Tian Ersan made the right choice. Among the main buyers of canned goods and clothing this time, entrepreneurs and people from Shandong Province accounted for a large part, followed by units, state-owned enterprises, private enterprises, supermarkets and stores in cities and counties of Central China.

Some bosses directly ordered a truckload of goods as employee benefits, preferring to buy Tian Er San canned goods to provide support rather than donate to charities.

Orders delivered truckload by truckload saved a lot on both courier and packaging costs, resulting in higher profits.

Both provinces are populous and have a deep-rooted history. They both consider Tian Ersan to be one of their own. After learning about Tian Ersan, many entrepreneurs and bosses switched their suppliers to Tian Ersan.

This resulted in canneries across the country losing a large number of orders. Subsequently, they tried to take advantage of the hype to raise prices, artificially creating shortages to drive up prices and sell canned goods at high prices, or forcing Tian Er San to raise prices.

Then it was suppressed by Tian Ersan's methods of taking it down!
When the new "charity products" shifted from canned goods to clothing, canneries and cannery associations in various regions lost their bargaining power.

The market at this point was no longer the canned food market. People could choose not to buy canned food, and Tian Ersan could choose not to sell canned food, but the other manufacturers had no way to convert their goods into cash.

Canned food prices can be raised at will; people can simply stop buying it.

It wasn't the market that chose Tian Er San; it was Tian Er San that opened up the market.

The clearer Jiang Junqing thought about it, the more formidable Tian Ersan seemed.

After roughly figuring out what happened to Tian Ersan, Jiang Junqing wanted to find more information, but it was difficult to find anything online, as Jiang Junqing was not very proficient with computers.

Jiang Junqing decided to discuss it tomorrow and have a meeting then.

As I walked from the study into the living room, my wife was watching a TV drama, a Korean family romance.

His wife heard the footsteps and turned to look at Jiang Junqing, saying, "Old Jiang, has Xiaotian's school been arranged yet? I noticed he hasn't been doing any live streams these past few days. Let him come over and chat when he's free, and I'll take him out to buy some clothes."

Looking at his wife's casual yet serious expression, Jiang Junqing clearly understood her attitude.

"Come on, let's talk about Xiaotian. What's your opinion of Xiaotian as a person?"

Jiang Junqing walked to the sofa about 1.67 meters away from his wife and sat down, maintaining a safe distance.

Older married couples aren't that close; they rarely sit together unless they're in front of outsiders.

His wife said dismissively, "What did that kid do to you? You're a grown man, why are you arguing with a child?"

Jiang Junqing was not surprised that his wife could sense the problem in his tone.

"I'm not trying to offend you, but to be honest, this Tian Ersan is very powerful. Ordinary people can't control him. So don't even think about introducing him to a girl. None of the young ladies I know can handle him."

His wife laughed and said, "He's young now, that's the time when he likes to have fun. I can tell what's going on with those two women around him at a glance. But he'll know what's important in a few years. It's okay for young people to like to have fun. I'll call him over tomorrow and tell him to put his mind on the right path." It didn't matter if he didn't put his mind on the right path. Jiang Junqing's wife said she was going to persuade him, but in reality, she didn't take it seriously at all.

She only wanted to pamper Tian Ersan, feeling that it was time for Tian Ersan to play and make up for what she had done wrong before.

Jiang Junqing was deeply impressed by Tian Ersan's cunning; he, his wife, and many others had all been deceived by him.

“His mind has never been simple. Let me tell you the truth, this kid has earned nearly 30 million in less than half a month, and it's all profit!”

After hearing this, the woman thought for a few seconds and said, "So what? Thirty million is nothing. The last time I met Old Liu's wife, her clothes and jewelry alone cost almost ten million. Their family is not as well off as ours."

Jiang Junqing was speechless. Thirty million is a lot for ordinary people, but not much for certain groups. It's just that it's inconvenient to show it off.

"Do you know why he makes so much money selling canned goods?" Jiang Junqing said, a little angry and sternly, "This kid came here for the Shandong market in the first place. Look at the money he's making now, it's all from Shandong and Zhongzhou provinces, and after he makes his money, he'll definitely run off to the south!"

His wife is not from Zhongzhou, nor from Donghai City, nor from Shandong Province; she has no attachment to this place.

"What's wrong?" His wife frowned, looking at Jiang Junqing impatiently. "Don't bother me. It's so difficult for me to get things done. I'll go see Xiaotian myself tomorrow. Get out of my way!"

Seeing that his wife was unhappy, Jiang Junqing felt both anxious and helpless.

Most officials are actually a bit afraid of their wives and can't control their own women.

Family scandals should not be aired in public; making a big fuss about them is bad for you, and you should never be portrayed as a domestic abuser.

Jiang Junqing left quickly and helplessly, not daring to continue arguing with his wife.

This trend is prevalent throughout China, whether in novels, television dramas, or real-life cases.

Family discord is a negative, while marrying a good wife is a positive.

The Jiang Junqing couple's consideration for their daughter-in-law was not wealth or power, but rather her virtue.

Education level and parental relationship are all used to select a virtuous and understanding daughter-in-law who won't cause trouble.

However, such women are very rare.

Most daughters in elite circles are spoiled and cannot be reborn, so they are very cautious when choosing a son-in-law.

Tian Ersan was undoubtedly the best choice. From the day he arrived in Donghai City, he was not short of wealthy girls who took the initiative to get close to him.

The rich girl was just one example; Tian Ersan had a much wider range of options.

Tian Ersan is more popular among middle-aged and elderly women.

Regardless of whether they were rich or poor, powerful or powerless, from Jiang Junqing's superior's wife to elderly women in their sixties and seventies in the countryside, everyone was willing to donate money to Tian Ersan to help him.

Tian Ersan has already secured the market of over 100 million people in Shandong Province, and he has a very firm hold on it.

Neither Jiang Junqing nor anyone else could represent the people of Shandong Province in rejecting him.

Tian Ersan, a positive role model, has won the hearts of the people.
