My son is a reincarnated soul; I overheard his inner thoughts and became the richest man.

August 3rd.

Fengchi Electric Vehicles, General Manager's Office.

After listening to Zhang Qiang's monthly report, Chen Feng put down his teacup and asked directly, "Mr. Zhang, what is the maximum production capacity of our factory right now?"

Zhang Qiang immediately straightened his back: "President Chen, we are currently operating at full capacity with three shifts, and the monthly production capacity is about nine thousand units."

"After deducting the more than 5,000 orders processed last month, plus the goods distributed to dealers, there are still more than 3,000 vehicles in stock in the warehouse."

Chen Feng nodded, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the table: "I remember there's a large open space behind the factory area?"

"Yes, Mr. Chen, that's land reserved for the second phase."

"No need to reserve any."

Chen Feng waved his hand decisively, "Start construction on the new workshop immediately and ramp up production. My goal is to exceed 20,000 units per month by the end of the year."

"It's not enough to just stay in Shanghai. The next step is to expand outwards. We need to plant our banner in economically developed cities like Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou."

"We need to keep up with the advertising campaigns on GG channels, not just local stations, but also satellite TV channels. I want the whole country to know that when buying an electric car, choose Fengchi."

Zhang Qiang looked embarrassed and stammered:

"Mr. Chen, expanding production is easy, but establishing sales channels is difficult. Our current sales team only has a few people, and it's already a struggle just to maintain the Shanghai market. If we go to each city one by one, it will take at least a year and a half to close any deals."

"Besides, we don't have that many people to do on-the-ground promotion."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng chuckled and said, "Manpower? That's the least of my problems."

"You've probably forgotten that Legend Network is also one of my businesses. Back then, to promote the game, I maintained a ground sales force of several hundred people all over the country."

"This group knows the local internet cafes, convenience stores, and densely populated areas like the back of their hand; they are what people commonly call local bullies."

"Now that the game market has stabilized, these guys are just sitting around doing nothing. I plan to transfer a group of elite soldiers from over there to Fengchi."

"Selling game cards is selling, selling electric bikes is selling. As long as you train them on product knowledge and let them run channels and do on-the-ground promotion, it will be a complete game-changer."

"You need to come up with a plan in the next couple of days, specifying which cities we'll be stationed in first. Then I'll have Su Qing coordinate the personnel transfer."

Chen Feng had been planning this "borrowing troops" tactic for a long time.

As the legendary channel system matured, the large ground sales team did indeed become redundant.

Let's lay off employees; we can't bear to part with these old brothers who fought alongside us to build this empire.

Keeping it is too costly.

Now is the perfect time; by transferring resources from one hand to the other, we can solve Fengchi's labor shortage and revitalize Legend's human resources—it's killing two birds with one stone.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiang's eyes lit up instantly.

If an existing ground sales team is available, the difficulty of channel expansion is reduced from "hell mode" to "easy mode".

"That's fantastic, Mr. Chen! With this fresh force joining us, I'm confident we can conquer all the major cities in the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta within two months!"

Zhang Qiang excitedly made a pledge.

Storm One's performance in Shanghai has proven the product's absolute dominance.

While other competitors are still stuck in the quagmire of low speed, low configuration, and low price, Storm One has redefined what an "electric vehicle" is by using a high-speed motor and BYD batteries.

Once the channels are established, this will be a one-sided massacre.

......

After assigning Zhang Qiang the task of "borrowing troops," Chen Feng did not linger.

Two days later, Zhang Qiang called as promised.

"Mr. Chen, the plan for expanding into lower-tier cities and lower-tier markets has been finalized. When would you be available to come and review it?"

Chen Feng glanced at the schedule and replied, "Okay, I'll go there this afternoon."

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the factory."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Feng leaned back in his boss's chair, a new idea popping into his mind.

Currently, his business empire is taking shape: Legend Network, Fengtian Technology, Fengchi Electric Vehicle, plus the internet cafe chain he started with, totaling four physical businesses.

Except for internet cafes, which do not require centralized office space, the staff of the other three companies are expanding rapidly.

Legend and Fengtian are now crammed into office buildings, where workstations are already in short supply.

Fengchi is located far away in the suburbs of Minhang, and it takes a lot of time to go there for inspections each time.

"It seems it's time to build our own headquarters building."

Chen Feng secretly calculated, "Putting all the subsidiaries in one park would not only facilitate overall management, but also showcase our strength to the outside world, killing two birds with one stone."

However, if a headquarters is to be established, it needs a name. Since the companies are independent and not subordinate to each other, it wouldn't be appropriate to use any one of their names.

"Why not just set up a conglomerate and implement a controlling stake? From now on, this building can be called the Conglomerate Building, which would be perfectly legitimate."

"However, registering a group company usually requires having five subsidiaries, and I only have four right now..."

Chen Feng tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his eyes suddenly lighting up.

"Oh, right, penguins!"

He still holds 53% of Tencent's shares, currently registered under his personal name. He could easily register a new investment company and package these shares into it.

In this way, the investment company became the fifth piece of the puzzle, and the threshold for group registration was easily resolved.

Having figured it out, Chen Feng pressed the internal phone and called Zhao Ya in.

"Mr. Zhao, there are two urgent matters that you need to attend to."

Zhao Ya took out her notebook and respectfully asked, "Please go ahead, Mr. Chen."

"First, help me register two new companies, named Fengtian Capital and Fengtian Holdings Group."

"Secondly, in the name of Fengtian Holdings, we will contact the relevant departments in the city to apply for a piece of commercial land. We want to build a building, a headquarters base that belongs to us."

Zhao Ya was taken aback, then a look of surprise flashed in her eyes: "President Chen, are you planning to build your own skyscraper?"

Chen Feng smiled and nodded: "The current temple is too small to accommodate so many bodhisattvas. With business expansion, centralized offices are an inevitable trend. Acquiring the land sooner will allow for earlier planning."

"clear!"

Zhao Ya could not hide her excitement, "This is a great thing to enhance the company's image. I'll go and arrange the registration and application right away."

"Go ahead, and report back immediately if there's any news."

"yes!"

Zhao Ya closed her notebook, but stopped at the door and turned back to report, "Oh, right, Mr. Chen, there's something else."

"Director Zhang from the Software Center asked me to tell you that the iMusic platform has completed its second phase of optimization based on your previous feedback, and that the experience is much smoother than before."

"When would be a convenient time for you to come to the technical department for acceptance testing?"

The first version of iMusic was released in late July.

After trying it out, Chen Feng, based on Chen Xiaotian's feedback, offered some targeted suggestions for improvement, such as the logic of the interface interaction and recommendation algorithm.

I didn't expect these tech geeks to be so efficient; they fixed it so quickly.

"Okay, I'll go take a look in a couple of days," Chen Feng replied.

......

In the afternoon, at the headquarters of Fengchi Electric Vehicles in Minhang District.

Zhang Qiang handed Chen Feng a thick "Market Expansion Strategy Book".

Chen Feng opened the document, quickly glanced through it, and finally stopped his finger on the map page, asking, "I see that you listed Qingdao, Changsha, and the southwestern cities of Chongqing and Chengdu as first-level war zones, on par with Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. Explain your reasoning."

Zhang Qiang was clearly prepared, and confidently explained, "President Chen, these points have all been carefully considered."

"First, there are Qingdao and Changsha, where strict bans on motorcycles have just been introduced. Affected by the policy, local electric vehicle sales have exploded, more than five times that of last year, making it a golden window of opportunity to seize the market."

"As for Chongqing and Chengdu, the reason is even simpler—geographical environment."

"As you know, these two cities are mountainous and have steep slopes, especially Chongqing, which is a well-known mountain city. Ordinary low-speed electric vehicles on the market can run fine on the plains, but they fail as soon as they enter these two cities and simply cannot climb the hills."

"Therefore, the electric vehicle market is almost non-existent in these two places. It's not that consumers don't want to buy, but that they can't buy usable vehicles."

At this point, Zhang Qiang's eyes gleamed with excitement: "But this is precisely our Storm One's home turf!"

"Our cars have high torque and ample power, making climbing hills a breeze. As long as we highlight this selling point, we will have virtually no competitors in these two cities."

"In other words, this is like our backyard; we can sell it however we want—a complete monopoly!"

"Unless other brands can also acquire the same level of high-speed motor technology, they can only watch us enjoy the benefits alone."

After listening to Zhang Qiang's supplementary explanation of the "local bully" tactic, Chen Feng nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, Lao Zhang, let's go this way. As for the ground promotion, I'll talk to Legend Network when I get back and ask them to transfer the people over as soon as possible. These guys are all seasoned veterans in the area; they know internet cafe owners and convenience store owners better than anyone else."

"However, you'll need to assign someone to oversee the specific business training. After all, it's a different field, and you need to make sure they fully understand the product. Otherwise, they might not even be able to explain the motor power properly."

"Understood! Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I will personally lead the training."

Zhang Qiang readily agreed, and his tense nerves finally relaxed a bit. With this fresh force, his chances of conquering cities and seizing territory increased even more.

After leaving Fengchi, Chen Feng rushed back to Legend Network without stopping.

In Su Qing's office, Chen Feng handed her the "Storm Operation: 100-City Expansion Plan".

"President Su, take a look at this. I plan to select a group of elite personnel from your ground sales team to support Fengchi Electric Vehicles."

Su Qing took the proposal and glanced at it. Instead of being displeased, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Chen, this has been a huge help to me."

She explained with a smile, "With Legend's market position becoming more secure, our current ground sales team is indeed a bit bloated. Now is the perfect time to reassign some of them to Fengchi, which solves your manpower problem and also helps me streamline my team—a win-win situation."

"However, the specific list still needs to be reviewed, depending on everyone's wishes. After all, selling game cards and selling cars are two different things; we need to pick those who are quick-witted and physically efficient."

"Of course, you handle this matter and get it done as soon as possible."
