My Realistic Simulation Game

Chapter 200 What is Qin Yuan going to do? Has he gone mad?

The chat group for the game "Business Tycoon" was in an uproar.

[Northeast Tiger Bro]: Holy crap, am I seeing things?! The leaderboard has been refreshed, and Master Jing has jumped straight to fourth place! Is he riding a rocket?!

[Shanghai's Old Eight Stocks]: You read that right, I've been watching the list closely. Since Jingye's ranking climbed to ninth last time, it hasn't stopped; it's been steadily rising. But this time it's truly amazing, leaping directly from seventh to fourth! He's pushed several veteran powerhouses down.

[Fashion Godmother]: I will be able to return to the top ten sooner or later. Just to give you a little hint, Jingye also said that I have chosen a very good direction.

[Black Pineapple]: Wow, did you and Jingye meet in person?
[Yangcheng Da Chao]: @Tianxia Guiyi, Lao Zhou, come out and walk around! How does it feel to be overtaken? Is it comfortable? Is it exhilarating?
[天下归心]: Get lost, trash.

[Yangcheng Da Chao]: Hahaha, don't you dare raise your voice at me! Haven't you noticed? Entering the 1990s, domestic laws and regulations have become increasingly完善 (perfected/comprehensive). The golden age of exploiting policy loopholes for shady dealings is almost over. From now on, the way you operate will only lead to increasingly narrow paths. But I'm different; I've firmly grasped the future. Just wait and see your ranking continue to plummet!
Looking at the messages flooding the chat group, Li Yuanchao's smile grew even brighter and more smug.

He didn't have much ambition before; in games, he preferred to enjoy life and cultivate his network of relationships.

That's because he can't see a clear path to success or sufficiently attractive rewards.

But now, everything is different.

Since meeting Qin Yuan, he has discovered a brand new and highly promising way to play.

It's not about taking shortcuts or being opportunistic, but about genuine innovation and leadership.

Song Lian's forward-thinking judgment on technology turned this possibility into a tangible reality.

However, the focus of the chat group was neither on him nor on Zhou Tianhao.

All eyes were fixed on the ID "I am Jingye" and the terrifying speed at which it rose to prominence.

[Shenzhen Tech Ape]: What exactly happened? Jingye's ranking increase is too abnormal! Even if Jeanswest created a miracle on the first day, it shouldn't have this much power, right? How are system achievement points calculated?
[Azure Jade Kirin]: I've heard some rumors. Apparently, the Jeanswest brand under Jingye's umbrella is currently conducting an unprecedented nationwide franchise recruitment drive. After seven days of intensive negotiations, they've officially signed contracts with one hundred franchisees from all over the country!

[Fashion Guru]: One hundred franchisees?! Are you kidding me? Where does Jeanswest get such a huge appetite? Can it even handle it?!
Lin Shiyun stared wide-eyed, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.

She works in the office building next to Jinxiang Building. In the past few days, she has witnessed the building being packed with people and knows that Jeanswest is recruiting investors.

But signing 100 contracts in seven days? This completely exceeded her understanding of the normal development pattern of a brand!

And where did Qingyu Qilin get such accurate information?
Did she have someone planted within Far East Trade?

Even if the news is true, this is still incredibly crazy!
Can the supply of goods keep up?

Can the management team support such a massive network?

How can service quality be guaranteed?

This is simply squandering the brand's vitality and reputation!

In her mind, Qin Yuan has always been a rational, calm, and far-sighted strategist.

Whether it's Chery Automobile, the Jeanswest brand, or the Soviet kvass business, a clear and sustainable development path can be seen.

But what's going on now?

Logically, in the early stages of brand expansion, direct operation should be the primary approach. This ensures firm control over brand image, service standards, and product quality, laying a solid foundation for future upgrades to an international brand.

Even if initial funding and talent are limited and franchising is necessary, the number of franchisees in the first batch should be strictly controlled, for example, no more than ten. Pilot programs should be conducted in first-tier cities to accumulate experience.

One hundred... This is simply like drinking poison to quench thirst, or draining the pond to catch all the fish!

This completely overturned her impression of Qin Yuan as "wise, clear-headed, and possessing a broad perspective."

"Could it be... that there's some crucial point that I haven't figured out at all?"

Lin Shiyun frowned, lost in thought, trying to recall all the details and find clues she had overlooked.

But no, absolutely nothing. Judging from the current situation, Qin Yuan's decision to engage in large-scale recruitment of franchisees is essentially overdrawing the value of the Jeanswest brand.

It's even self-destructive.

Moreover, there is another crucial issue: a franchise fee income of only ten or twenty million is by no means enough to cause Qin Yuan's wealth and achievement points to skyrocket to fourth place on the leaderboard.

He must have other, much larger, sources of income!
The others in the chat group were also caught in a great deal of confusion and speculation. No one could see through the deeper meaning of Qin Yuan's move, let alone understand the whole reason for his sudden increase in wealth.

Inside a building in Yanjing.

He Changqing, the second-ranked tycoon on the leaderboard, stood by the window, his gaze seemingly able to pierce through all obstacles, looking towards the direction of the Jinxiang Building.

He had a cigarette between his fingers, his brow furrowed, and he muttered to himself:

"One hundred franchise stores... what kind of operation is this?"

"Could it be... that some kind of hidden 'achievement point' we're unaware of has been triggered? A large-scale channel network construction achievement?"

He paid close attention to the movements of Qin Yuan's team.

He knew perfectly well about the cooperation between Crown Prince Li Chuze and Qin Yuan, and that the two hundred train cars of supplies were heading to Moscow, and that three more Tu-154 aircraft would soon be landing in Xiamen.

He also knew Qin Yuan's right-hand men—Binzi, Gangzi, and the newly joined Wang Gongquan.

He is currently on Soviet soil, working tirelessly on that rocket engine project.

He can understand all of this.

If he could see the big picture before, he knew that Qin Yuan wanted to build a trade corridor spanning China and the Soviet Union, or even a secret channel for certain military technologies.

These can bring tremendous value and achievements, rapidly accelerating Qin Yuan's growth.

Therefore, he has already set his sights on this place and is arranging for someone to break through this passage.

But now?

What is Qin Yuan going to do?
At this moment, Qin Yuan seemed to be shrouded in a thick fog of war, becoming somewhat blurry and unpredictable.

"Mr. He, we just received the news."

There was a knock on the office door, and the assistant came in to report: "Jinxiang Building has sent formal invitations to major mainstream media outlets. The 'Jeanswest National 100-Store Alliance Signing Ceremony and Strategic Launch Conference' will be held the day after tomorrow morning."

"As expected, a hundred companies..." A glint flashed in He Changqing's eyes. After a moment's thought, he ordered, "Send our people over there too, to follow the whole process. I want to see what Qin Yuan is really up to!"

"Yes!"

Two days later, on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, all industries officially resumed work.

The news that "Jeanswest signed 100 franchisees and launched the 100-store plan" was like a thunderclap, quickly spreading and exploding across the country!
Reporters from countless media outlets flocked to Beijing from all directions, making train and plane tickets extremely difficult to obtain.

Everyone wanted to be there as soon as possible to witness and report on this commercial miracle.

The entrance to Jinxiang Building was already packed with reporters and onlookers who had rushed to the scene.

When Qin Yuan appeared, all the cameras and microphones instantly focused on him.

"Mr. Qin, I am a reporter from Southern Metropolis Daily. May I ask what strategic considerations underlie the massive scale of Jeanswest's investment promotion this time?"

A reporter who had squeezed to the front couldn't wait to ask a question.
