Title: Reborn in Handong, Starting with an Investment in Gao Yuliang

Speedata Group Headquarters.

The atmosphere in the top-floor conference room was exceptionally lively.

The oval conference table was filled with executives from various departments of the group.

Liang Cheng sat at the head of the table, holding a newly printed financial statement in his hand.

"Mr. Liang, this is the complete data for the opening of Suda New City."

The operations director stood up, his voice brimming with barely suppressed excitement.

"Total visitor numbers have surpassed one million!"

"The sales revenue of all businesses in the mall, including restaurants, clothing stores, and department stores, exceeded our upper limit of expectations."

"Especially on weekends, the passenger flow from surrounding cities accounts for 35% of the total."

"We have urgently contacted our suppliers and increased our warehouse inventory."

A round of enthusiastic applause erupted in the conference room.

Everyone's face was beaming with the joy of victory.

The success of Suda New City means that those who followed Liang Cheng to build the empire will receive an astronomical bonus at the end of the year.

Liang Cheng put down the report in his hand and pressed it down with his hand.

The applause stopped abruptly.

"The opening figures are indeed impressive."

Liang Cheng's gaze swept across the entire room, but his tone remained unyielding.

"But this was just a mock exam."

"The real test has only just begun."

"High passenger volume means high security pressure, high cleaning pressure, and high fire hazard."

"Notify the property management department to double the frequency of security patrols."

"The cleaning staff work in two shifts to ensure that the mall is clean at all times."

"Tell the merchants below that anyone who dares to cheat on product quality or pricing will be immediately removed from the business and their entire deposit will be forfeited!"

"The excitement of the opening has passed; now we need to compete on reputation and service."

Everyone immediately abandoned their pride and took out their notebooks to take notes.

Liang Cheng picked up his water glass and took a sip to moisten his throat.

"The new city project is proceeding according to the established plan."

"Now, let's talk about the next key project."

Liang Cheng put down his water glass, his gaze sharpening.

"The equipment at Crescent Lake Mineral Water Plant has been debugged, and the quality of the trial-produced products fully meets the standards."

"I have decided to hold a new mineral water product launch event this Wednesday in the central plaza of Suda New Town."

The moment those words were spoken, the conference room fell silent.

The executives exchanged glances, each seeing confusion in the other's eyes.

at last.

The sales director couldn't help but stand up.

"Mr. Liang, should we postpone the mineral water project for a while longer?"

He carefully chose his words, afraid of angering Liang Cheng.

"In today's beverage market, everyone is competing on taste."

"Cola, Sprite, and iced tea are selling like hotcakes because they are sweet and delicious."

"We're spending a lot of money to promote a bottle of mineral water that has no flavor... is there really a market for that?"

The CFO echoed this sentiment.

"Yes, Mr. Liang."

"Every household has a kettle, so boiling water doesn't cost a penny."

"Who would want to spend money on a bottle of tasteless water?"

"Moreover, the profit margin for bottled water is too thin. With logistics and packaging costs added, it's not profitable at all."

A murmur of discussion broke out in the conference room.

Almost no one was optimistic about this project.

In Handong Province in the 1990s, spending money to buy water was an extremely extravagant and incomprehensible thing.

Liang Cheng listened quietly to their objections.

He neither explained nor got angry.

The murmurs gradually subsided.

Liang Chengcai slowly opened his mouth.

"You're all right."

"People nowadays are really not used to buying water to drink."

"But the market isn't something you wait for; it's something you create by selling off."

Liang Cheng stood up, placed his hands on the conference table, and exuded an aura of authority.

"Before Suda New City opened, some people said that ordinary people in Jingzhou could not afford such a high-end shopping mall."

"And the result?"

The audience was silent.

"Mineral water isn't profitable?"

Liang Cheng sneered.

"I don't want a few cents of profit right now; I want to seize the absolute commanding heights of the drinking water market in Handong Province!"

"The water quality of Crescent Lake is the best in the entire province, and that's our confidence."

Liang Cheng didn't give them a chance to object and directly issued a death order.

"Listen up, Publicity Department!"

"Starting this afternoon, we booked prime time slots on Hantong Provincial TV and Jingzhou TV, but that's a disaster."

"Buy me the front page of every major newspaper in the province."

"Replace all the posters on the buses and bus stops with our GG."

"GG's motto is simple: Crescent Lake mineral water, the taste of nature!"

"I want everyone in Handong Province to be able to see our water as soon as they open their eyes!"

Liang Cheng made the final decision.

"Meeting adjourned! Get to work immediately!"

……

Within just 24 hours.

The terrifying financial power of the Speedata Group was on full display.

A deluge of GG messages swept across the entire Handong Province like a blizzard.

On TV.

The image of clear lake water played repeatedly.

on the newspaper.

The entire page was filled with blue water droplets, capturing everyone's attention.

Huge posters for Crescent Lake mineral water are everywhere in the streets and alleys.

A discussion about "water" instantly erupted in the streets and alleys of Jingzhou City.

In the farmers' market.

Several middle-aged women carrying shopping baskets shook their heads as they looked at the newspaper.

"Is this Speedata Group just burning through its money?"

"Paying money to buy water? I'd have to be out of my mind to do that!"

"That's right, you can just turn on the tap and there's water, and you can heat it up on the gas stove and drink as much as you want."

"I doubt anyone will buy this!"

In the dormitory on the university campus.

Several boys were huddled together watching TV.

"The packaging looks quite high-end."

"What's the point of being high-end? It has no flavor!"

"With that spare money, wouldn't it be better to buy a bottle of iced cola? Or at the very least, a bottle of iced tea?"

"This Speedata Group probably made some money from shopping malls and started investing recklessly."

Within the business circles of Jingzhou.

The owners of several large beverage factories gathered together for tea, laughing heartily.

"That Liang Cheng kid, he's really gotten too cocky."

"Does he think that just because he's successfully developed Suda New City, he's a business prodigy?"

"Selling bottled water? I think he's trying to lose everything!"

"Let's grab a seat and watch how his press conference ends on Wednesday!"

Almost no one in the entire city of Jingzhou was optimistic about this mineral water project that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Laughter, doubt, and schadenfreude mingled together.

……

The Liang family.

A luxurious crystal chandelier shines in the spacious living room.

A 29-inch color TV is on.

Instead of playing the usual prime-time TV dramas, the screen displayed a loop of images of a clear lake.

"Crescent Lake Mineral Water!"

"The taste of nature!"

The announcer's clear and articulate pronunciation of "GG" came from the television.

Mother Liang sat on the leather sofa, clutching a copy of today's Handong Evening News in her hand.

The entire front page of the newspaper was printed with a huge blue water droplet.

I can't even find a news headline.

All of them are GG.

She threw the newspaper onto the coffee table with a thud.

Liang's mother rubbed her temples, her face showing extreme anxiety.

The landline phone on the coffee table hasn't stopped ringing all afternoon.

All the calls were from her friends who usually play cards and go shopping in her social circle of wives.

On the surface, it was out of concern, but his words were full of sour, schadenfreude.

Everyone thought Liang Cheng had gone mad.

Spending money to buy tasteless plain water to drink is just plain stupid.

The more Liang's mother thought about it, the more panicked she became.

She stood up and paced back and forth in the living room.

Liang Lu came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of sliced ​​apples.

She placed the fruit plate on the coffee table and casually pulled her agitated mother aside.

"Mom, please stop wandering around."

"It's making me dizzy."
