Chapter 134: Give Him a Trick in His Own Way (6k Subscription Request)

Rong Nianqing has a good idea. If he can attract passenger traffic from the South Station, Huasheng Life’s performance will definitely increase again.

Lu Yao thought for a moment and said, "This is a good idea. The passenger flow of the South Station is mainly to connect the north and the south. Many people in the north will transfer here before going to the south, and those who work in the south will also pass through here when they return."

The province has very developed expressways, but high-speed rail technology developed relatively late, so as of 2014, there were not many high-speed rail stations to choose from in the province.

Therefore, Shangnan City has become an important hub connecting the north and the south.

In particular, the Ningbo-Hangzhou high-speed rail line that opened last year has allowed a large number of people in the north to begin to spread to Zhejiang, Huizhou and other places, no longer limited to developed southern cities such as Suzhou.

While cutting off the flow of abundant and cheap labor from the north to the south, the urban areas surrounding Shangnan also received a replenishment.

The mutual flow between the north and the south is more obvious during the New Year period.

Lu Yao continued: "In this case, we can use the comprehensive station as an entity to spread our reputation to a greater extent."

Gan Xiaoxi also added: "People who come here to catch the train will come here early. If they encounter delays, they can only wait at the South Station. We can provide a good resting place here."

Lu Yao was surprised and asked, "You even know this?"

The station is the best place to see the various aspects of life.

The South Station not only has high-speed trains, but also ordinary trains, and even the stations are integrated together.

So at the South Station you can see both the urban newcomers in fancy clothes and many migrant workers carrying snakeskin bags and woven bags. These migrant workers are even given an insulting name by current experts and the media - "migrant workers".

When Lu Yao traveled around, he passed by the South Station many times, and saw many migrant workers sitting in the waiting hall to save money.

When there are no seats, you can only sit on the floor.

Not to mention that the various foods sold at the station are extremely expensive, and many people are reluctant to buy any to eat.

Ten years from now, many ordinary young people may not know these things, because people born in the 00s and 10s in many developed areas basically travel by high-speed rail and plane.

It is rare to see migrant workers waiting for the bus at the bus station.

But Gan Xiaoxi actually knew all this.

She was a super rich girl who either drove herself or was picked up by her family when traveling. She always flew first class or even took a private jet when traveling long distances. Lu Yao was quite surprised that she knew all kinds of people at the station.

Gan Xiaoxi saw Lu Yao looking at her in disbelief and immediately put her hands on her hips: "Hey! What's with your eyes? Do I know that this is weird?"

Rong Nianqing smiled faintly and said, "After I had this idea, Xiaoxi went to the South Station every now and then and saw a lot of things."

Lu Yao gave a thumbs up and praised: "Our General Gan is amazing."

It is not a big deal that she can go for research, but it is remarkable that she can empathize with those talented people despite her high status.

Gan Xiaoxi is a person who cannot hide his thoughts, and when Lu Yao praised her like this, she immediately raised her chin like a proud little rooster.

Rong Nianqing continued, "I plan to run a number of free shuttle buses at the South Station to attract passengers from there. I will also build some lounges at Huasheng Life Plaza, provide free tea and some snacks, and make the seats as comfortable as possible."

Lu Yao shook his head and said, "Free is definitely not an option."

When Rong Nianqing and Gan Xiaoxi heard this, they all looked at Lu Yao.

Lu Yao spread his hands and said, "Free things are often the most expensive. People waiting for the train at the South Station might be wary. When they find out there are no tricks or scams here, they will think this is a cheap thing."

"what?"

Gan Xiaoxi was dumbfounded: "How could this happen? We pay out of our own pockets to benefit the people, and we are treated like such a cheap thing?"

Rong Nianqing was suddenly enlightened, and she agreed: "What Lu Yao said makes sense."

Lu Yao also laughed and said, "This is human nature. The free fitness equipment in the park is often easily broken, and the public welfare facilities on the road are always easily damaged."

“Human nature is ugly, but there is no distinction between good and bad.”

Good and bad should be viewed dialectically based on the subject. People like Lu Yao often use the ugliness of human nature to profit for themselves, so the ugliness of human nature is not bad for Lu Yao, but good.

Gan Xiaoxi, who had simpler ideas, was dumbfounded, but she soon understood the reason behind it.

She looked at Rong Nianqing who understood everything immediately, then at Lu Yao who was calm and composed, and then she felt that her exaggeration just now was a bit childish.

Gan Xiaoxi sat next to Rong Nianqing sulking and blamed her: "Sometimes it's really frustrating to work with you guys. It makes my heart darken."

Rong Nianqing taught: "Being well-versed in human relationships is a skill, and the unity of knowledge and action must be practiced in real life. This is the purpose of our family letting us go out to work."

Gan Xiaoxi began to get impatient: "I know, I know~"

Rong Nianqing smiled and looked at Lu Yao: "So we have to charge a fee, but we have to make them feel it's worth it."

Lu Yao nodded: "Yes, and we can actually cooperate with bus operators from all over the country and use this place as a transfer station. While providing rest for drivers from all over the country, it can also save us a lot of expenses."

Because of the well-developed roads and highways in bulk provinces, there are many bus operations in various places. Many bus merchants have cooperation with stations. These bus merchants not only pick up passengers at the stations, but also pick up passengers on the road.

This kind of thing is of course illegal, but it is generally tolerated.

Rong Nianqing had obviously done an in-depth investigation. She frowned and asked, "Will this give people room to attack?"

Lu Yao smiled: "Isn't that a good thing?"

Those who work in transportation are the same as those who work in earthmoving, they live off the money of those who have connections with them.

The bulk province is well-known for being a province of its own, and if you really touch the interests of this area, you will be in big trouble.

I, Pengcheng, will not pay for your Shangnan debt. If you dare to cut off my source of income today, I will change "Guannan" to "Brother Nan" tomorrow. If you want to challenge me, the Huaihai Entrepreneurship Group will have a meal together the day after tomorrow.

Rong Nianqing was speechless.

How could this guy dig the pit so casually and naturally? If you are not careful, you may step into the pit he has reserved.

Lu Yao continued, "Besides, we are just providing a place to rest, which is essentially no different from a service area. We can follow the example of Yangcheng Lake Service Center and build a smaller one."

Yangcheng Lake Service Area is considered the ceiling of domestic services.

Many tourists who come to Suzhou from other places for sightseeing think that they have arrived at the scenic spot of Suzhou when they first arrive at Yangcheng Lake Service Area. After they check in and take photos, they realize that they are yelled at by the driver:
"Huh? This is just a service area?"

"Is a service area so grand?"

"It is said that Brother Su is rich and powerful! If I were Brother Su, I would definitely not submit to Brother Nan!"

“Is this the same focus on building the airport and putting it on the service area?”

Because the Yangcheng Lake service area is so luxurious, it later became popular on the Internet, and many travel bloggers went there to check in.
How exaggerated is the service there?

They actually have an indoor waterscape garden, with small bridges, flowing water, rockery, long corridors and pavilions. You can see the scenery of Gusu City before entering the city.

Rong Nianqing's mind was opened after hearing what Lu Yao said: "Why should we imitate Yangcheng Lake Service Area and build a smaller one? We can build our own underground landscape food city, integrate the culture of Shangnan and even the entire Bulk Province into it, and make it a spectacle!"

After being influenced by Lu Yao for a period of time, Rong Nianqing gradually realized the economic benefits brought by "Internet celebrity check-in and photo taking".

In that case, why not just make it bigger.

Lu Yaoren felt a little numb. He now finally understood how those people felt when they followed Liu Bang to start a business.

Chen Ping said he had a plan that could help Liu Bang win, but it might cost some money.

When Liu Bang asked, he found out that Chen Ping wanted 50,000 gold. So Liu Bang waved his hand and said disdainfully: "What the hell is 50,000 gold enough for? I'll give you 500,000 gold! If it's not enough, come back and ask me for more!"

This guy is the one who does big things.

Lu Yao recalled that several bosses he met before his rebirth saw that TikTok had become popular, so he approached the company's programmers and asked if they could develop an app similar to TikTok?
The programmer asked the boss how much budget you have?
The boss got angry and said, "Didn't I hire you to develop software?"

Whenever Lu Yao thinks back to the weird people and weird things he encountered in the past, he still gets a heart attack.

But there are also some more practical issues here.

Lu Yao worriedly said: "First of all, the land."

Rong Nianqing smiled and said, "I'll tell my family and it will probably be approved in a month or two."

Lu Yao was a little speechless: "What we are doing is stealing the business of many merchants stationed in the South Station."

Rong Nianqing smiled and said, "I just need to tell my family."

Lu Yao: “…”

Alas, how can people be so rich?
He spread his hands and said silently: "I'm fine."

Seeing this, Gan Xiaoxi held her belly and laughed: "I am so happy~~ You don't even think about why Nianqing was able to squeeze out the Taiwanese businessmen here. The biggest boss behind the entire South City District is Nianqing's family."

Lu Yao understood that this was a nail driven into Shangnan by the higher-ups. It was a preemptive move by the higher-ups to deal with the local forces in Shangnan, and also a basic foundation for providing a safety net for the future.

However, it is still too difficult for the Nancheng District, a single area, to compete with the central area of ​​Shangnan, Shengzhou District, Moling District and Longxue District.

No wonder the higher-ups wanted to bring Rong Nianqing’s family in.

Without the Rong family's support, Nancheng District would definitely not be able to succeed.

Lu Yao leaned back on the sofa and said, "This is not something that can be accomplished in a short period of time, and the benefits will not come in a short period of time."

Rong Nianqing smiled and said, "Huasheng Life isn't just open for one year."

Ever since she got the file bag that Lu Yao gave her, the bet with Xinbai Plaza was not so important. That file bag was full of trump cards that could influence the upper-level ecology of Shangnan.

Of course, these trump cards must be released at the right time.

Rong Nianqing then smiled and said, "Besides, this project won't take that long from design draft to construction completion."

Lu Yao understands, it’s about money.

As long as there is enough money without limit, the power of the infrastructure maniac is terrifying.

We need to do this with all our might, and the main goal is to seize sunny days and avoid cloudy days, treat drizzle as a good day, work hard on light rain and heavy rain, treat the day under the moon as daytime, and make one sunny day equal to two days.

After finishing the business talk, Gan Xiaoxi squeezed close to Rong Nianqing and said expectantly: "By the way, Sister Jian has been talking about organizing a snow camping trip. I asked you and you haven't replied to me yet."

Rong Nianqing evaded the question and said, "You guys go ahead and have fun. After talking to you guys today, I have a lot of ideas in my mind that I can't wait to implement."

Her job was to do aesthetic design, and she already had a vague design plan for this underground wonder in her mind, or even more than one.

So she wanted to draw the design as soon as possible.

Gan Xiaoxi put her head on Rong Nianqing and acted coquettishly: "It would be so boring if you don't go~ Let's go together~~" Lu Yao also advised: "Go outside and relax, maybe you will get better inspiration."

Rong Nianqing couldn't resist Gan Xiaoxi's coquetry and finally agreed.

……

After the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, the Spring Festival atmosphere that originally permeated everywhere in Shangnan has gradually dissipated.

Many office workers have returned to their previous routine of going to work and back home, and the expressions on everyone's faces have gradually changed from the joy during the Spring Festival to numbness.

It is not the T virus but the "office workers" that create zombies.

But the employees of Huasheng Life don’t think so. Every day at Huasheng Life is full of hope. After all, their actual working hours are only seven hours a day.

Although the management of Washington Life is very strict, sometimes you will be punished for doing something wrong, and if the punishment accumulates to a certain level, you will be fired.

But they are happy to accept the strict management because Washington Life offers so much, and if they don't want to do it, there are many people outside who want to do it.

On the 16th day of the first lunar month, Sister Wang also returned from New Zealand.

Lu Yao drove a Land Rover to pick them up at the airport.

When Sister Wang followed Lu Yao to the parking lot and saw the shiny new Land Rover, Sister Wang was a little surprised: "You changed the car."

Lu Yao smiled and said, "This is a New Year's gift from President Rong, and it has been specially modified."

When she heard that it was sent by President Rong, Sister Wang smiled and said, "President Rong really thinks highly of you."

It was only after she opened the door and got in that she felt the difference inside the car. Every aspect of the car was tuned to an exaggerated level, with powerful connotations that far exceeded the Land Rover brand itself.

After Wang Jie got on the passenger seat, she took out a red envelope from her coat and said with a smile: "Although it's a little late, Happy New Year."

Lu Yao took the thin red envelope and opened it. A card slipped out from it: "Just give me the card."

Sister Wang smiled sweetly and said, "Otherwise it would be a bit strange to take out a stack of money."

Lu Yao was happy: "Why give so much?"

Sister Wang came over and hugged Lu Yao, took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry to have kept you here for so long."

Lu Yao let Sister Wang hold him.

People are so strange that they often express their apologies in the form of love (a little-known fact: if your significant other suddenly treats you very well, it must be because she feels she owes you something.)
After a long while, Lu Yao patted Sister Wang on the back and said, "I'm fine. I'm glad you're back."

"Open the storage box in front of you."

Sister Wang opened the storage box in front of the passenger seat——

"click"

Flowers wrapped around small ambient lights suddenly rushed out of the storage box. Flowers squeezed out of the cold machine, just like roses growing in the bitter alkaline land in the northwest.

The twinkling star-like atmosphere lights were reflected in Sister Wang’s pupils, like the starry sky emerging from the bottom of her heart.

Sister Wang's face suddenly brightened up. She looked at Lu Yao and said happily, "Thank you~"

Lu Yao tilted his head and smiled: "Why don't you go in and look for it?"

"what?"

Sister Wang was stunned. There is a gift?

She reached into the storage box filled with flowers and rummaged around. She soon found a jewelry box. After opening it, she discovered a thin gold bracelet inside. The bracelet seemed to be rolled up with gold paper, and there seemed to be many faintly engraved words on it.

Sister Wang said curiously: "The design of this gold bracelet is very interesting. I haven't seen it before."

Lu Yao smiled and said, "I designed it myself. I pressed a piece of gold into gold foil, then used iron felt to carve the characters on it, and then rolled it up."

This is too thoughtful!
Sister Wang looked at the thin bracelet in her hand again, and her love for this gift was beyond words.

This is a little trick for giving gifts. Innovative gifts can often leave a very deep impression on the other party and are more likely to impress the other party.

Well, writing on paper cranes, writing on paper and folding stars to give to others is only useful during student days.

And it’s only in middle school and high school.

Sister Wang asked curiously, "What are the words engraved here?"

Lu Yao smiled mysteriously: "This is a secret."

"what?"

How can this be possible!
If I were to read the words inside, I would destroy the gift, but it would be heartbreaking if I couldn't see them! Would they contain a passionate confession? Or perhaps some hope or blessing for their future?
All kinds of thoughts surged in Sister Wang's mind, making this gift, which was not so valuable to her, suddenly become extraordinary.

This is also a little tip for giving gifts.

You must let the other person know the little thoughts you put into the gift, even if you have written words on the paper cranes. Otherwise, when the other person has started a family and a career, and then takes it out and opens it to see the old things, the expectations you had when giving the gift will turn into memories in the future.

While Sister Wang was anxiously curious, Lu Yao started the Land Rover and took Sister Wang home.

It is said that a long separation is better than a new marriage. Sister Wang went to New Zealand to celebrate the New Year with her family elders, and she seemed to have become more childish.

This combination of a mature woman's temperament and a child's nature has a unique appeal.

Anyway, Lu Yao and Sister Wang didn’t have a good rest after they returned.

On the 18th day of the first lunar month, it was time to go camping as agreed with Jian Xiaojie and the others.

That morning, Jian Xiaojie arrived at Sister Wang's house early and started knocking on the door. Lu Yao welcomed Jian Xiaojie in his pajamas.

Jian Xiaojie is wearing a windbreaker today and looks cool.

As soon as she entered the room, she caught Lu Yao and joked, "Well, you've made a lot of trouble, where's my sister Shu?"

Sister Wang shouted from the bathroom: "Just stay still!"

After Lu Yao decided to go camping in the snow with them, he prepared the equipment he and Sister Wang would need for camping. Now they basically just had to pack up and set off.

When Sister Wang was almost done packing, when Lu Yao was packing up his equipment, Jian Xiaojie suddenly came up to Sister Wang and said with a sly smile, "Remember to bring the things I gave you."

Sister Wang's ears suddenly felt hot, and then Jian Xiaojie silently put on the equipment given to her.

After packing up, Lu Yao and the others set out to meet up at Gan Xiaoxi's house. When they arrived there, they found that Zhu Junyan, Zhou Xiangyang and other MCN company executives were also there. These people were called by Rong Nianqing.

Lu Yao understood that this was Rong Nianqing's way of winning over the local forces in Shangnan.

Especially after the last incident, Rong Nianqing realized that the Rong family could not fight alone here, and she needed more "friends" to help her.

Soon Rong Nianqing and Gan Xiaoxi also came down.

For this snow camping trip, Rong Nianqing specially found a modified Land Cruiser.

Zhu Junyan and his friends were driving a Raptor, while Lu Yao, Sister Wang and Jian Xiaojie were in the same car, sitting in Jian Xiaojie's Grand Cherokee.

Jian Xiaojie, the organizer of the event, shouted excitedly: "Let's go~~"

Their camping destination this time is near Lingshan Mountain in Xicheng.

Jian Xiaojie said excitedly in the car: "It snowed last night at Lingshan in Xicheng, and it hasn't stopped today. There must be a super wonderful snow scene there~" She picked up the intercom in the car, switched to the public channel and said excitedly: "Let's go!"

The Grand Cherokee let out a steady roar, then set off with the two cars behind it, loaded with a car full of equipment and food.

……

When Lu Yao and his friends went out camping, their whereabouts were reported to Xinbai Plaza.

It turned out that Tao Siyu's office had changed its owner. The young and heroic Tao Sixing sat in the boss chair that originally belonged to Tao Siyu, looking at the intelligence he had recently collected, then looked aside and said, "They seem to have a lot of leisure time. Don't they take me seriously?"

There was another person in Tao Sixing's office. She was wearing a slim-fitting professional OL skirt and had her middle-parted hair tied up behind her head.

She looks beautiful and capable, and is somewhat similar to Lu Yao's assistant Liu Mulin.

Maybe secretaries and assistants prefer this style.

But unlike Liu Mulin who only helps Lu Yao with some daily work, the secretary beside Tao Sixing is responsible for more matters, or it can be said that the secretary is just a cover for Tao Sixing to hide her true identity.

The woman sat on the sofa and laughed, "Maybe President Rong is confident in her family. Even if nothing else, just the documents she recently submitted can tell that she has big plans."

"Combined with her recent frequent contacts with many architectural design experts, it can be seen that she wants to make a big move at Xinbai Plaza, and it must be linked to the South Station."

Tao Sixing propped his chin with both hands: "Do you think she can quickly revitalize Huasheng Life and even surpass Xinjie Road?"

"Others may not be able to do it." The staff member who used the identity of secretary as a cover laughed, "But it's hard to say if President Rong takes action."

"The simplest thing is to wait until her plan is completed and find some big names in the entertainment industry to come and star. It will be easy to attract locals and outsiders there."

Tao Sixing thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter. The facilities there are not complete after all."

"What's more, the spending power of ten poor people is not as good as that of one rich person. Our plan remains unchanged. We will speed up the entry of foreign luxury brands. After the deal is settled, I want Xinbai Plaza to become the focus of Shangnan again."

The female aide said, "In this fair competition, don't give up on the necessary obstacles."

Tao Sixing is not the kind of pedantic and upright person. He likes to use his power to oppress others, but he also accepts all crooked ways. Since he is not good at it, he finds himself an aide who is good at it.

It’s just that his sister Tao Siyu, who is good at using crooked ways, has already used many unconventional tricks.

But Huasheng Life has always been able to respond calmly.

Therefore, Tao Sixing couldn't think of any other tricks his aide had.

Tao Sixing asked curiously, "How are you going to trip me up?"

The woman smiled and said, "It's simple. Help Huasheng Life with marketing and boost sales."

This is a trick that is commonly used by schemers, and is also quite sinister. The book calls it the "Carving Wolf Scheme", which simply means "praising to death".

When Lu Yao dealt with Tao Siyu before, he used the two strategies of "killing with praise" and "Buddha's hand" together to take advantage of the situation and suppress the opponent.

Now, Tao Sixing, the female aide, is going to "return the favor in their own way".
