Chapter 244 College Student Fixing Screws: I Hope My Son Won't Suffer Like You Two

In front of the gate of Luzhou Prefecture, white walls and black tiles stand, and lights gleam brightly.

Luxury cars lined the entrance, with Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi being commonplace, and Bentley, Porsche, and Ferrari also plentiful.

It's hard to imagine that Luzhou in 2012 had become so prosperous.

Just then, a panda-themed Ghost slowly drove by, attracting passersby to stop and peer over.

A Rolls-Royce worth seven or eight million yuan is nothing in Luzhou, but a license plate with four 8s still makes people think a lot.

Who the hell is this?
What an impressive license plate!
Once the car had come to a complete stop, a small, fair foot wearing sandals stepped out.

Immediately afterwards, a young woman wearing a white shirt and blue wide-leg jeans got out of the car with a smile on her face.

"Tao Jingwen said she was bringing a few friends. I thought about it and realized they are mostly local brands from Luzhou who want to join Pinduoduo or get more platform resources. You can decide what to do tonight. You can give Tao Jingwen face, but you don't have to give her all of them."

Chen Yansen then got out of the car and gave instructions to Song Yuncheng.

Frankly speaking, he was at best a drinking buddy with people like Tao Jingwen and Xu Minggang, not much better than a nodding acquaintance.

Once there's no longer any overlap in interests, even if they bump into each other face-to-face, they probably won't even need to exchange greetings.

Therefore, when Tao Jingwen said she wanted to bring her friends, he readily agreed.

If the other party wants to act as a middleman, connecting people, that's perfectly fine.

After all, cooperation is usually beneficial to both parties, so Chen Yansen had no reason to refuse.

Song Yuncheng nodded slightly and followed behind Chen Yansen.

Gao Weilin sighed, turned to look at Xiao Li. Now that the boss no longer needed him to drive, he still couldn't escape these social engagements.

After thinking it over and comparing the options, he decided it would be better to be the boss's driver.

The three of them walked around the screen wall, through the front hall, and, guided by the waiter, went further in, passing small bridges, clear waters, courtyards, and pavilions.

Despite having visited twice already, Chen Yansen was still amazed that they were able to acquire such a large plot of land in the bustling city of Luzhou more than a decade ago and then spend hundreds of millions to build this antique-style Jiangnan garden.

Connections and capital are both indispensable.

"Brother Chen, it's been a long time." Xu Ming had just stood outside the private room when he saw Chen Yansen and greeted him warmly.

"Mr. Xu, you're too kind. It's too kind of you to come out and pick me up personally. If this happens again, I won't dare to answer your calls."

Chen Yansen joked with a smile.

"Tsk, look! It's only been a few months, and you're already acting like strangers! Call me Brother Xu!" Xu Minggang said with a stern face.

"Who else is inside?" Chen Yansen smiled and changed the subject.

"The bosses of Changhong, Rongshida, and Jianghuai, as well as the owner of Huazhang Liquor Store, Tao Jingwen had no choice. He couldn't repay the debts of gratitude. If cooperation could be discussed, then so be it; if not, then there was no need to give Lao Tao face."

Xu Minggang gave a brief explanation.

It is obvious that this message was conveyed by Xu Minggang on Tao Jingwen's behalf.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Chen Yansen replied, and followed Xu Minggang inside.

There were two round tables in the private room. Tao Jingwen was sitting at the east table with four middle-aged men, drinking tea and chatting.

The people at the other table, judging from their clothes, were mostly assistants or secretaries, who would drive or warm the bed for their boss later in the day.

"Mr. Chen, let me introduce you to some new friends."

Tao Jingwen quickly stood up, pulled Chen Yansen to sit down, and pointed to the middle-aged man in a suit on the far left, saying, "This is Zhang Renwu, the general manager of Luzhou Changhong Branch."

"Mr. Chen, I've long admired your name," Zhang Renwu said, bowing slightly as he grasped Chen Yansen's right hand.

"Mr. Zhang, it's a pleasure to meet you," Chen Yansen replied in a friendly manner.

They did not show any disrespect or contempt just because the other party was only the head of a branch office.

"This is Jin Junhua, chairman of Rongshida Electric Appliances."

"Liang Zhirong, General Manager of JAC Motors".

"Xu Xiangdong of Huazhang Liquor Store is also a liquor tycoon in our Huian Province. Many liquor products sold on online websites are sourced through Mr. Xu's channels."

Tao Jingwen introduced them one by one.

Chen Yansen shook hands and exchanged pleasantries with each of them, giving Tao Jingwen ample face.

Changhong and Rongshida joined Pinbei Mall as early as last December, and they have already established a cooperative relationship.

Liang Zhirong from JAC Motors took the initiative to join in the fun, which surprised Chen Yansen.

Although Pinduoduo and Chery have a precedent of collaborating on online car sales, their daily sales figures are not high. Only when the brand increases its advertising investment and subsidies can they barely sell two or three thousand vehicles.

Its promotional value far exceeds its actual sales value!
Could it be that Leung Chi-wing also has similar plans?
Chen Yansen pondered secretly.

"Mr. Chen, Huazhang Wine Shop also joined Pinbei Mall in February this year. Please take good care of us in the future."

Xu Xiangdong was around fifty years old, with a full beard. He was the only one among them wearing a casual jacket and with beaded necklaces around his neck and wrists. He didn't look like an entrepreneur, but rather like a beaded necklace vendor from an antique street.

"Thank you for your support of Pinbei, Mr. Xu. We look out for each other. Please have a seat." Chen Yansen smiled faintly and replied politely.

Before long, the waiters brought out plates of exquisite cold dishes and hot dishes, filling the mahogany dining table to the brim.

Xu Xiangdong picked up several bottles of wine from behind him and placed them on the table, including Moutai vintage, Macallan 1990 and Yamazaki 18, with the cheapest bottle costing twenty or thirty thousand yuan.

When Tao Jingwen introduced him, she said he was a wine tycoon in Huian Province, but she didn't exaggerate at all.

In fact, people in the province regard him as the "godfather of the liquor industry". Apart from the owners of Gujing and Yingjia, Xu Xiangdong's wealth can definitely rank third.

They have wineries abroad, and liquor brands and breweries in China, with annual sales in the billions.

However, these achievements were not enough in Chen Yansen's eyes.

"Mr. Chen, I heard that Chery's sales on Pinduoduo are quite good?" After having a couple of drinks with Chen Yansen, Liang Zhirong from JAC Motors couldn't help but get straight to the point.

"President Liang, it depends on each person's expectations. If JAC's goal is 2000 vehicles per month, then we'll go all out."

Chen Yansen looked at the other person and said in a calm tone.

In 2012, JAC Motors primarily produced bus chassis, light trucks, and light buses. Yunsu purchased over a thousand light trucks from JAC for cargo transportation. 2000 trucks per month?
Liang Zhirong's eyes lit up. He was in charge of the passenger car business, which had sold less than 10 vehicles last year.

If Pinduoduo can really sell 2000 cars every month, that's 2.4 cars a year, and its performance can easily increase by 25%.

"Mr. Chen, to be honest, JAC is also considering joining Pinduoduo. You just said 2000 vehicles per month, is that true?" Liang Zhirong first stated his opinion, then confirmed it with some unease.

"Mr. Liang, Pinduoduo is a special sales platform for goods. The prerequisite for sales is that JAC must provide sufficient preferential policies and simple vehicle delivery procedures," Chen Yansen reminded him with a smile.

"No problem, Mr. Chen! If you have time these next few days, you are welcome to come to Jianghuai, and we can discuss it in detail."

Liang Zhirong looked at Chen Yansen with anticipation.

Chen Yansen wasn't very interested in this kind of business that didn't make much money, so he called over Song Yuncheng.

"No need for such trouble. Pinbei has mature brands and event plans in car sales. This is Song Yuncheng, Director of Pinbei's Major Account Recruitment Department. Mr. Liang, please feel free to communicate with Mr. Song about any requirements you may have."

Chen Yansen pushed Song Yuncheng forward.

Song Yuncheng smiled slightly, handed over a business card, and briefly described Chery's success story. In just a few words, he gained Liang Zhirong's trust.

Song Yuncheng is quite capable at work; otherwise, he wouldn't have become the director of the major accounts department.

Chen Yansen has always kept public and private matters separate. Zhang Wenbo, Xiang Pengfei, Chen Xu, and others, whose abilities do not meet the standards, can only hold the title of team leader.

Mengjie is still a junior intern in the finance department of Orange Technology, earning a monthly internship salary of just over three thousand yuan.

Three minutes later, Song Yuncheng returned to another table and sat down again.

"Sister, are you an employee of Orange Technology?"

A girl with long chestnut hair next to him turned her head and asked.

"Uh, I guess so," Song Yuncheng replied casually, too lazy to explain.

"Is Chen Yansen good-tempered in private? Does he scold his employees?" the girl continued to ask.

Gao Weilin, who was sitting opposite him, was looking down at his phone when he heard this. He couldn't help but look up and examine the other person.

She was not yet twenty years old, but she was youthful and beautiful, with two shallow dimples on her cheeks.

When he first sat down, he thought she was some boss's secretary, but upon closer inspection, he realized the youthfulness and naivety on her face.

Coupled with this almost idiotic interrogation method, Gao Weilin was even more convinced that she was either the daughter of some boss or the secretary of some boss.

Song Yuncheng frowned slightly and said, "Why are you asking these questions?"

"I want to work at Orange Technology in the future," the girl made up a reason on the spot.

"It's my boss's personal matter, and I can't comment on it. You'll find out once you've passed the interview and started working," Song Yuncheng said decisively.

After saying that, he turned his head away and ignored the other person.

Seeing this, Xu Jiujiu looked helpless. Actually, she wanted to ask some strange questions: Does Chen Yansen have a girlfriend? Is he good to his girlfriend? When will they break up?

But Song Yuncheng clearly didn't want to talk to her, so she turned her attention to Gao Weilin instead.

"Uncle, you're so cute, you must be a kind person. Can I ask you some gossip?" Xu Jiujiu said coquettishly.

Gao Weilin waved his hands repeatedly: "I'm the driver, I don't know anything."

"..." Xu Jiujiu opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

Sitting next to him, Chen Yansen listened to the conversation, his gaze lingering on Xu Xiangdong's face. Just by looking at their similar eyebrows and eyes, he guessed their relationship.

But he didn't pay much attention to it. He chatted happily with Zhang Renwu of Changhong and Jin Junhua of Rongshida. As they talked, they talked about the upcoming 418 Home Appliance Festival.

JD.com, Suning, Gome, Dangdang, Yi Xun, and Pinduoduo are engaged in a fierce battle across all product categories. While this may affect the online price control systems of Changhong and Rongshida, it also presents the best opportunity for both brands to boost their sales performance.

After all, the platform pays the lion's share of the price difference.

Chen Yansen naturally wouldn't waste the opportunity, and he pulled Zhang Renwu and Jin Junhua aside to discuss the traffic plan for the second half of the year.

In short, if you support Pinduoduo during the 418 shopping festival, Pinduoduo will strongly support Changhong and Rongshida in the second half of the year.

Zhang Renwu and Jin Junhua were curious, and for some reason, they agreed very readily.

Even Tao Jingwen and Xu Minggang couldn't help but exchange a glance, their hearts filled with doubt: Have these two guys changed their ways? They've started talking about the Double Eleven promotions right off the bat.

"Then thank you very much for your support, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Jin." Chen Yansen said with a smile, his eyes slightly narrowed.

After a few rounds of drinks, the men's faces were flushed and they looked slightly tipsy.

Chen Yansen had to attend the unveiling ceremony of the orange factory the next morning, so he suggested ending the drinking session.

Tao Jingwen had the same idea and immediately agreed.

The group slowly walked out of Luzhou Prefecture, got into their respective carriages, and waved goodbye.

the other side.

In the dormitory of Orange Factory No. 4 in Luyang District, Sun Haiyang tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

"Haiyang, does your butt hurt? Stop tossing and turning. This bed is creaking so much, I can't sleep at all," Yao Xin, who was on the lower bunk, protested.

“Xinzi, I just feel that my parents spent over 100,000 yuan to send me to university, and then I turned around and went to work in a factory fixing screws. Although the pay is good, it doesn’t sound good,” Sun Haiyang said with a worried look.

“The university we go to is jokingly called one of the Four Little Dragons of Luzhou. So what if we're screwing in screws? We make seven or eight thousand a month!” Yao Xin said with a smirk. He didn’t have the same psychological burden as Sun Haiyang.

Some of my roommates went to work as white-collar workers in office buildings, either in telemarketing or online customer service, but when I asked about their income, they said it was only three thousand yuan.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yao Xin accepted the offer to work as a production operator at the orange factory, a job commonly known as "screw fastening."

"Are you all college students from Luzhou?" a middle-aged man who was still awake asked in a low voice from next door.

“Yes, Uncle Li,” Sun Haiyang replied.

"Sigh, college graduates don't find white-collar jobs, they come here to fix screws. I hope my son won't end up like you two," the middle-aged man said bluntly.

“…” Sun Haiyang.

“…” Yao Xin.
