Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 345 Marching into the Nation!

Lin Shengdong said he wasn't interested in money, but his heart was bleeding.

1.6 million! Anyone would feel the pinch.

However, he has no other choice now.

In his efforts to save Shengdong Commercial Building, he missed his daughter's growth, and even so, he was almost brought down in the end.

He's come to terms with it now. What's the point of having so much money? As long as those bastards have their eyes on him, they'll find a way to deal with him. Just like Cheng Yi said, "There aren't many people in this world who are absolutely clean."

This world is just a big makeshift operation, governed by the law of the jungle.

Even if the US is an immigration paradise, so what? Many of his clients made money and went to the US, only to be exploited by American agencies under various pretexts.

Given the current situation, siding with Cheng Yi is undoubtedly the best option. Even if he cannot help his daughter secure the position of the main wife, he can still use the power of the Momo Group to find a good way out for his subordinates.

At the very least, I don't have to worry about being schemed against by a villain like Shu Qin anymore.

Cheng Yi nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll set up a second-tier company specifically to handle merchant expansion. We'll call it Momo Self-Operated Commerce Co., Ltd. You can invest 2 million yuan and take a 20% stake."

"Okay." Lin Shengdong didn't expect Cheng Yi to leave him 60 million, and suddenly he didn't feel so bad.

A 20% stake for 100 million yuan is considered venture capital.

However, given the massive user base of Momo Internet Cafe, the potential benefits from this 20% are immeasurable.

He was confident that he could recoup his 100 million yuan investment, or even make a fortune.

Cheng Yi said, "Uncle Lin, Shu Qin went to the detention center this afternoon. She kept saying she wanted to see you."

"I won't see her," Lin Shengdong said expressionlessly. "I have nothing to do with her anymore."

"Understood." Cheng Yi smiled and said, "Then I'll have them handle it officially."

Lin Shengdong looked at Cheng Yi with some concern and said, "Shu Qin's family background is very powerful. Her father is the president of the Dongcang County Materials Association and has many students and old friends. You must not be careless."

“Those petty scoundrels can only act tough in Dongcang County.” Cheng Yi smiled and said, “Uncle Lin, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head back now. Quite a few people in Jingzhou City have called Shu Qin to plead for her, and I need to go and appease them one by one.”

"Okay." Lin Shengdong said gratefully, "Thanks."

As Cheng Yi walked out of the office, he overheard Jiang Yuxi and Lin Qingyin discussing how to earn a billion yuan.

He glared at Jiang Yuxi and said, "Let's go."

Jiang Yuxi reluctantly stood up and said to Lin Qingyin, "Lin Qingyin, we'll be leaving now."

At this moment, Lin Shengdong called out from the ward, "Let Yinyin go back with us. I'm all better here. Don't let it interfere with your studies. Xiao Liu and Chen Ma are enough."

"Lin Qingyin, you should come back with us. There are caregivers here, which is enough," Cheng Yi said.

“Okay.” Lin Qingyin had never been one to have her own opinions, so when her father and Cheng Yi both said so, she could only nod in agreement.

"Qingyin, you can rest assured that I'm here to take care of Boss Lin." Chen Ma, the Lin family's housekeeper, came over and reassured Lin Qingyin.

Chen Ma had been living in the Lin family for over ten years, taking care of Lin Shengdong's daily life with utmost dedication.

Lin Qingyin gave a few more instructions before leaving the ward with Cheng Yi and Jiang Yuxi.

After sending Jiang Yuxi and Lin Qingyin back to the college, Cheng Yi also rushed back to his dormitory.

Tong Qing, under the guise of romance, extracted a lot of inside information about the Xu family from Xu Tianlei. Although most of the responsibility lies with the fool Xu Tianlei, few men could resist the seduction tactics Tong Qing used.

Imagine a stunningly beautiful woman with a hot, tall figure standing in front of a man wearing QQ lingerie. Which man wouldn't be mesmerized?
Tong Qing only obtained information and did not participate in the robbery of Champion Furniture Factory, so she did not commit a crime. Therefore, he had to explain Tong Qing's situation to Fei Zhengyu. As for whether Fei Zhengyu would listen to him or not, that was up to him.

If Fei Zhengyu is truly in love and ignores his advice, then he can only wait for Fei Zhengyu to get hurt and then laugh at him.

He thought about what to say and pushed open the dormitory door.

In the dormitory, Meng Gang and Zhuang Ming were playing chess, while Fei Zhengyu leaned against the edge of the bed, picking his teeth with a toothpick.

Upon seeing Cheng Yi return, Fei Zhengyu's face broke into a lewd smile as he said, "Oh, Cheng Yi, you're finally back! Come on, let me tell you about my home run."

As Meng Gang played chess, he said irritably, "This guy has been nagging since yesterday, it's driving me crazy."

"You're just jealous, huh?" Fei Zhengyu chuckled. "Out of the three of us, only I succeeded. That's what you call charisma."

"Did you sleep with her?" Cheng Yi asked, kicking Fei Zhengyu.

Fei Zhengyu shrugged and said, "I didn't want to, but she insisted on giving it to me."

"Did she insist on doing it for you?" Cheng Yi asked.

"Of course we'll do it if they insist, and we'll do it big!" Fei Zhengyu said shamelessly. "I, Fei Zhengyu, just like bad girls."

"?" Cheng Yi was taken aback and asked, "You know she's a bad girl?"

"Nonsense, who could fool us Lucheng people? You're kidding!" Fei Zhengyu said proudly, "As soon as I entered the ancient city, I sensed something was wrong. This Tong Qing kept asking about my family situation and even wanted me to buy her a computer."

“It’s not that I’m reluctant to part with this computer. Tell me, would a nice girl like this ask someone to buy her a computer right away?” Fei Zhengyu said.

"Huh?" Cheng Yi felt that Fei Zhengyu was implying something about him.

Fei Zhengyu said, "It was raining at the time, wasn't it? I invited her to a hotel to test her."

"Come on, that was your intention, what do you mean by testing me? Have some shame," Meng Gang said, clearly annoyed.

“None of that matters. What matters is that the moment she entered the hotel, she acted like she was going to eat someone alive.” Fei Zhengyu clutched his back and said in a Versailles-like manner, “Three times! Three whole times! My back still hurts.”

Cheng Yi said, "This woman is not simple. You could say she's juggling three relationships at once. You're probably just her backup plan in the online world."

"Three boats? She really knows how to manage that." Fei Zhengyu's eyes widened as he said, "My goodness, it seems I underestimated her."

Seeing that Fei Zhengyu was so clear-headed, Cheng Yi no longer needed to repeat the explanation he had prepared. He asked, "What do you plan to do?"

"Let's just treat it as an online relationship." Fei Zhengyu struck a scumbag pose, picking his teeth as he said, "Anyway, I won't spend a single penny of her money. My dad said that money is for women to see, not for women to spend."

"Your dad is very experienced," Cheng Yi could only praise his father. People from Lucheng are the kind who would stretch every penny they have.

Being stingy is their only way to make money.

Cheng Yi originally wanted to teach Tong Qing a lesson, but now it seems that handing her over to Fei Zhengyu is enough.

When a scumbag woman meets a scumbag man, it's a battle of wits and moral superiority.

In the following days, Cheng Yi would occasionally visit Lin Shengdong at the hospital and occasionally go to the group company, but he spent most of his time studying.

Although the student council members still frequently caused him trouble, the campus life was so wonderful that it was enough to offset the negative emotions brought on by the students.

On April 7, Lin Shengdong was finally discharged from the hospital. He then packaged up the Shengdong Commercial Building and sold it to a retail giant in Handong Province.

Because of the clear ownership and the fact that Lin Shengdong was the sole shareholder, the retail giant offered Lin Shengdong a high price of 1.76 million yuan.

The handover of Shengdong Commercial Building continued until April 19th. As soon as he received the money, Lin Shengdong couldn't wait to contact Cheng Yi and register Momo Self-operated Trading Company.

During this period, Momo Group has been developing at an increasingly rapid pace. Huang Wenrong has been leading a growing team, and the expansion of small internet cafes in other provinces has accelerated several times over.

Currently, except for some remote districts and counties where the system has not yet been fully implemented, most other districts and counties have already completed the implementation.

Even though it's an unremarkable little internet cafe with only 10 people, many people still think it's a fake, despite having the name "Momo Internet Cafe".

"President Cheng, all 1967 internet cafes have been arranged." In the afternoon, Cheng Yi, who had just finished class, received a call from Huang Wenrong.

"So fast?" Cheng Yi was slightly surprised. 1967 internet cafes were all set up in just over five months. This speed was quite outrageous.

Cheng Yi paused for a moment and said, "Old Huang, you can rest for a while now. Leave the rest to me. Once the Momo virtual item platform business is launched, we'll start formulating a plan to find your daughter."

"Thank you." Huang Wenrong felt inexplicably excited.

He has worked so hard for this very purpose.

Momo Virtual Items Company is a third-level subsidiary of Momo Internet Cafe, and is managed by Shi Lei's team. For the past few months, Shi Lei's team has been managing Momo Virtual Items business in Handong Province. After several months of experience, he has become very familiar with this simple business.

Cheng Yi hung up the phone and quickly dialed Shi Lei's number, saying, "Shi Lei, the virtual item trading outlets across the country have all been set up. Have you compiled the prices for items in each region of Legend?"

"So fast?" Shi Lei became excited and said, "I've already compiled the statistics and have been keeping an eye on the prices in all the major regions of Legend."

During the few months of trial operation, Shi Lei has already felt the huge potential of virtual item trading.

Cheng Yi said, "This promotion outside the province is different from the promotion within the province. Within the province, we have an existing platform, so it's a win-win situation. But outside the province, it's different. We need to develop the market ourselves. First, have the managers stationed in the districts and counties go to various internet cafes to promote it. Give them 50% of the profits generated by the virtual items. Just tell them that I only want market share, so they will put all their effort into promoting it for me! If you want to expand quickly, have them build good relationships with the managers of other internet cafes. Give these managers a little favor, and they will become your best salespeople."

"Understood," Shi Lei said. "I will implement a bottom-ranking elimination system. Those who slack off and do nothing will be fired."

"Hmm." Cheng Yi said approvingly, "There's also the issue of repayment. Currently, Handong Commercial Bank only has branches in each province. As for the branches in each city, Handong Commercial Bank is still applying to higher authorities. During the application period, you must cooperate with the group's finance company to ensure the repayment is handled properly."

“Okay.” Shi Lei said very seriously, “If anyone embezzles, I will sue them immediately.”

“If someone with good performance is lining their own pockets, we can leave them alone for now and sue them after they’ve taken all the market share,” Cheng Yi said with a smile. “Just think of it as putting the money in their bank account, and we’ll get it back with interest later.”

Cheng Yi's words stunned Shi Lei.

This Yi Ge is truly ruthless.

Momo's virtual props company is located inside Jingzhou Vocational College. Shi Lei returned to his office and immediately contacted the department's management to discuss on-the-ground promotion strategies.

In this era, YYDS was still the go-to ground marketing tool. After all, with crowds thronging the streets, simply throwing down a handful of flyers could generate a large customer base.

Furthermore, their primary target audience is internet cafes, which makes their efforts even more effective.

Cheng Yi was not worried at all that Shi Lei and his team would have problems with their on-the-ground promotion.

At the entrance of Baihua Internet Cafe in Quancheng City, Shandong Province, three young men were squatting by the roadside, smoking silently, with drawing boards on their backs.

A young man with blond hair said, "Damn it, if I take the exams for two more schools, I'll go back home. I've already spent all my living expenses."

"Why go back? Do you want to go back to class?" a simple-minded young man said. "We finally came to a big city for the art exam, shouldn't we have some fun?"

“Playing games requires money. I only brought 3000 yuan with me for this art exam, and the exam registration fee alone cost 1600 yuan.” The blond-haired youth glanced back at the internet cafe, his eyes filled with a hint of drool, and said, “If I had money, I would love to spend every day in the internet cafe playing Legend of Mir.”

A young man with an afro next to him said, "Why don't we cancel our lease and just stay at an internet cafe all night? It's only 10 yuan a night, while the room we rented in that guesthouse costs 200 yuan a month."

The simple-looking young man didn't say anything more. He finished his cigarette and said, "I think it's fine! I still have 970 left. How many do you guys have?"

"I still have more than 560."

"I still have more than 1200."

“Let’s just rent one computer. It’ll only cost 50 yuan a day, enough for a month. The three of us can take turns. We can put the drawing board and other equipment under the computer desk, and whoever gets sleepy can just take a nap at the bus station,” said the simple-looking young man.

"I think it's a good idea." The young man with the afro and the young man with blond hair both laughed.

Just then, a young man rode up to the three of them on a bicycle. He locked the bicycle, took a flyer from his bag, and threw it directly in front of the simple-minded young man. Then, he walked into the Baihua Internet Cafe in front of him.

"What the hell is this?" The blond-haired youth picked up the flyer, glanced at it once, and exclaimed, "Holy crap, is this real?"

The young man with the afro and the simple-minded young man went over to take a look and saw that the flyer clearly stated: "High-price buyback of legendary equipment."

[Gold Coins: 1 Yuan = 12000 coins.]

[Shura: 120 yuan.]

[Magic Shield: 2000 yuan.]

Summoning a Divine Beast: 3700 yuan.

[Award: 4500 yuan.]

【…】

The young man with the afro glanced at the simple-minded young man and said, "Brother Qi, don't you have a book for summoning divine beasts?"
