In his previous life, Lin Yifeng was tricked by his first love into going abroad, missing the period of rapid development in his homeland.

He finally managed to amass a fortune of hundreds of...

Chapter 140 Wallace's Dramatic Transformation

The weather in Central China was very cool after the heavy rain.

Lin Yifeng and Ye Yuqing got out of the truck, looked at each other, and couldn't help but smile.

The straight-line distance from Fujian Province to Central Plains Province is 1,400 kilometers. The two took turns catching up on sleep and watching over the arcade machines. In just five days, they transported this truckload of arcade machines from Minzhou, the capital of Fujian Province, to Muye City.

The moment the truck stopped in front of Wallace's door, both of them felt a sense of relief.

That tense spirit was instantly released!

"arrive!"

"profound!"

"I'm home!"

Lin Yifeng and Ye Yuqing both said at the same time that the truck driver did not have the same fatigue from the long journey. He had transported the arcade machine from Shangdu, the provincial capital of Zhongyuan Province, to Muye City in less than two hours. They could not understand the relaxed feeling of Lin Yifeng and Ye Yuqing.

"I've delivered the goods. Please settle the balance, sir."

"Master, are you hungry? If so, would you like to come down and get something to eat? It's on me, it's free!"

Lin Yifeng smiled and handed the remaining payment to the driver, while calling the driver to get out of the car for a meal.

"Free? Then I'm definitely going to eat it!"

"Young master, what would you like to treat me to, noodles or steamed buns?"

Truck drivers are not polite; they are a rare breed these days, and they don't care about ordinary things.

Let me treat you to Western food!

Lin Yifeng pointed to the Wallace store on the side of the road. He jumped off the truck and waved to Ye Yuqing. The truck driver also jumped off the truck.

"Western food?"

"Young master, won't this cost you a lot?"

"I have a big appetite, so you'd better not invite me."

"Or let's go to another noodle shop. I'll just have two bowls of noodles!"

The truck driver was a decent person and didn't try to cheat Lin Yifeng, so Lin Yifeng didn't mind at all: "It's okay, driver, just eat as much as you want, it's on me!"

Will eating Wallace's food bankrupt me?

Even if you come in leaning against the wall and leave leaning against the wall, I, Lin Yifeng, won't be afraid.

When they arrived at Wallace's, Lin Yifeng wasn't worried about being eaten out of house and home. He loudly told the truck driver, then whispered to Ye Yuqing, "You too, eat whatever you want, it's all on me!"

"profound!"

Wallace belongs to Lam Yat-fung, a fact that Veronica Yip knew as early as the opening day.

She even knew that there was a cashier at the Wallace store who was very beautiful, with looks comparable to hers.

However, Veronica Yip didn't care about any of that; for her, eating was the most important thing at this stage.

There was food, and it was Western food. The truck driver, who was indebted to Lin Yifeng, naturally didn't urge him to unload the goods quickly. The three of them got off the truck and walked towards Wallace (Hebei Vocational University Store).

Wallace looks completely different compared to 13 days ago.

First and foremost, the most eye-catching feature is naturally the air conditioner outdoor units displayed outside the shop.

In later generations, every household had an outdoor air conditioner unit, which was inconspicuous and even considered a nuisance.

But in the 1990s, air conditioner outdoor units were even rarer than television sets.

If a shop has an air conditioner unit outside, that shop is definitely rich.

How could you possibly afford to install a 6,000 yuan air conditioner if you don't have the money!

The outdoor unit of the air conditioner was humming and spinning, which was somewhat of a waste in this not-so-hot weather after the heavy rain.

Lin Yifeng didn't care much about the electricity bill. Based on Wallace's income before he left, including water and electricity costs, he could make a net profit of two or three thousand a day.

Compared to the profits, the electricity bill is insignificant.

Next to the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, there is a huge blackboard. The blackboard is decorated with fluorescent lights. It is daytime now, so the effect of the fluorescent lights is not visible, but the words on the black and white board are still clearly visible.

[Breaking News!]

[Wallace's quality control upgrade brings eleven amazing benefits!]

Two lines of huge characters instantly caught the eye. Lin Yifeng came to the blackboard, looked at the contents, and nodded with satisfaction.

The content was naturally written by Lin Yifeng, but the blackboard was either made by Xu Qingyi or Zhou Xuelan.

Anyway, there's no way out for these two.

"Wow, this Western restaurant is amazing!"

"Eleven benefits, including free phone calls and food ordering."

"Wow, this store is amazing!"

"They even offer free delivery in the city center. I, Lao Zhou, have never seen such service in my life."

Truck drivers are a rare breed these days. Old Zhou, the truck driver, was clearly literate. He looked at the blackboard at the entrance of Wallace's and kept marveling.

Eleven benefits!

Not only do they offer set meal discounts, free items for an extra 1 yuan, buy-one-get-one-free deals on member days, free points redemption for goods, and points-based lucky draws, but they also allow phone ordering and free delivery within the city.

Most importantly, customers who make a purchase at a Wallace store on their birthday will receive a birthday gift package, birthday presents, and more.

This service... Old Zhou had never heard of it before, nor had he ever seen it before!

"Right, Master? This Western restaurant is extremely popular in our Makino City. I wouldn't say that no one knows it, but most people do!"

Lin Yifeng praised his own product, and truck driver Lao Zhou nodded in agreement: "Putting aside the taste, just for the service alone, if the membership isn't expensive, I'll definitely get a membership!"

"Don't worry, their membership is definitely not expensive. Spend over 200 and you'll automatically be upgraded to a member."

Lin Yifeng said that the membership system was set up by him. Anyone who spends 200 yuan at Wallace will automatically become a Wallace member.
