CHAPTER 341: CHAPTER 341: EXPANDING INTO FOOD DELIVERY

After not long since returning to Lin’an from the Imperial Capital.

Chen Yiyang went back to the Imperial Capital once again.

After getting Jindong’s shares, Chen Yiyang needed to talk to Liu Qiangxi.

Additionally, Zhang Yuling also invited Chen Yiyang to visit her home.

After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Yiyang decisively chose to visit Zhang Yuling first.

After all, Brother Qiang is a bro, bros can wait, but women can’t, women don’t have patience.

Chen Yiyang thought Brother Qiang would understand him once he found out.

So Chen Yiyang went to Zhang Yuling’s house at night and launched a surprise attack.

After the intense and exhausting surprise attack ended, Chen Yiyang lazily laid on the bed, receiving Zhang Yuling’s post-event massage.

"When did you learn this skill?" Chen Yiyang marveled as he felt Zhang Yuling’s technique, which was no less than a professional masseuse’s.

"I hired a female master to teach me at home for half a month. You’re my first practice subject."

"So I’m a guinea pig." Chen Yiyang said deliberately.

"You were a big guinea pig just now, aren’t you only a little guinea pig now?" Zhang Yuling said, giving Chen Yiyang a pinch.

The already exhausted Chen Yiyang was too scared to make any more cheeky remarks.

He, being a veteran, found his combat power getting weaker.

This woman seemed to have endless energy, like a bottomless pit.

Chen Yiyang, unwilling to take supplements at such a young age, relied on natural recovery, thus knowing when to just back down a little.

"By the way, I heard the Lin’an City Government approved a piece of land for you. Are you planning to build your own company building?"

"Yes." Chen Yiyang nodded and said, "I have too many companies under my name and they’re too scattered. I plan to consolidate them."

"Have you found a design company?" Zhang Yuling casually asked.

Hearing Zhang Yuling’s question, Chen Yiyang immediately realized that this massage service wasn’t free.

But he was indeed very comfortable now.

So he proactively asked, "Do you have any recommendations?"

"I know a domestic architectural design company. They showed me a concept design of an office building before, and I thought it was quite beautiful."

"Let me have a look." Chen Yiyang immediately said.

Zhang Yuling got up to find a tablet, then pulled up the image and handed it to Chen Yiyang.

"See if it meets your requirements."

Architectural Concept Design.

"The designers said after completion, it can integrate offices, hotels, and cultural facilities, considered a city complex, not just a building."

"This company is well-prepared." Chen Yiyang sighed after seeing the design.

The piece of land approved by Lin’an City was an area to be developed.

The undeveloped nature means entertainment and consumption venues in that area haven’t followed up yet.

Then his company’s employees will find it difficult to locate leisure places during breaks.

If other companies come to Chen Yiyang to negotiate business, the hotel they’re staying in would be a bit far from Chen Yiyang’s company building, which is inconvenient.

So this design company precisely saw this point and proposed this so-called city complex.

The company building directly combines business districts, hotels, and entertainment cultural facilities.

While this increases construction costs, after completion, entertainment and consumption areas can be outsourced for rent to subsidize employees, providing them with benefits.

This money, Chen Yiyang decides not to earn himself; after his building is completed, newly built surrounding entertainment areas will also profit.

So it’s better for Chen Yiyang to earn it himself.

"What’s the name of this architecture company?" Chen Yiyang asked.

"Called Joyne Design, headquartered in Peng City."

Peng City.

Chen Yiyang thought for a moment, then directly said, "Have them send people directly to Lin’an to connect with my team first. If I decide to use their design, they’ll need to set up a branch in Lin’an for easy communication."

"No problem." Zhang Yuling let out a long breath.

Although Chen Yiyang hadn’t asked, Zhang Yuling evidently didn’t just happen to have the design concept.

But Zhang Yuling’s job has always been about connecting people.

If it was before, she would directly tell Chen Yiyang she received money to help others.

But after their intimate contact, she avoided making conversations sound like business negotiations.

Everyone understood, no need to spell it out.

Of course, Zhang Yuling would compensate in other ways.

Not long after, Chen Yiyang’s guinea pig was forced to mutate, becoming a fierce rat, once again mercilessly exploited.

Chen Yiyang stayed at Zhang Yuling’s home for two days before meeting Liu Qiangxi for a meal.

"Been busy finding a design team for the company building lately, so delayed it, Brother Qiang, really sorry."

In the private room, Chen Yiyang toasted Liu Qiangxi.

Last time when Chen Yiyang wanted to dine with Liu Qiangxi, Liu agreed straightforwardly.

This time, when it came to Chen Yiyang himself, he was held up by tender affection for two days.

Although Brother Qiang, having been through it, certainly understood Chen Yiyang’s predicament.

Still, Chen Yiyang first apologized sincerely to Liu Qiangxi.

"No need, you’re surely busier than me now. The leadership at the onset of a startup doesn’t get much rest."

Liu Qiangxi patted Chen Yiyang’s shoulder and said, "When I first started my business, I was also working wildly day by day."

"But you’re better off; you’re not married, so you don’t need to worry about family."

Compared to Liu Qiangxi, although Chen Yiyang has a few billion net worth, he’s still considered to be in the early stages of entrepreneurship.

"By the way, do you have plans to sell that 2% of Jindong shares?" Liu Qiangxi, done with pleasantries, directly got to the point.

"Yes, but also no."

"How’s that?" Liu Qiangxi looked at Chen Yiyang.

"If I convert the shares to cash, it’s not much use to me. But I don’t plan on keeping the shares either."

Chen Yiyang paused, then continued, "I want to use these shares to partner with you, Brother Qiang, in business."

"Shares worth forty to fifty billion, you’re eyeing quite a large business scale." Liu Qiangxi’s expression suddenly turned serious.

Given the current economic climate, needing forty to fifty billion in investment for a business, partnering with Jindong as well.

Definitely not simple.

"Food delivery industry." Chen Yiyang cut straight to the point.

"I want to venture into the food delivery industry with Jindong."

After finishing his statement, Chen Yiyang continued quickly before Liu Qiangxi could speak, "At the time, when Taobao was dominant in the e-commerce field, everyone thought it was Taobao’s strongest period.

But who would’ve thought that it was Taobao’s weakest moment, and Pinduoduo’s rapid rise directly shattered Taobao’s monopoly dreams.

Now the food delivery field is when Ugly Group is at its strongest, which means it should also be its weakest.

If we don’t enter the food delivery industry now, then when?"
