Counterflow 92: Ditching the School Flower at the Start and Building a Trillion Empire

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 326 Pang Donglai's First Quarter Profits

Lin Yifeng's takeout strategy enabled Wallace to turn the tide completely.

In early April, Wallace became a popular shop in the shopping mall, with a constant stream of customers and its daily food inventory being almost completely depleted.

To ensure employee stability, Lin Yifeng also instructed Guo Fengsheng to directly increase the hourly wage of Wallace employees, so that they could work diligently for Wallace.

Meanwhile, Lin Yifeng was not idle either; he began to solve a problem that had been delayed in Shangdu.

Shops at the train station!

After Wallace opened in Shangdu, Guo Fengsheng did consider dealing with this matter.

He wanted to use Wallace's reputation to see if he could persuade the businesses around the train station to buy two shops.

However, Wallace's sudden popularity has given these businesses an opportunity to make money.

The original asking price of 300,000 for a shop was immediately doubled, and they were only willing to sell their shops for a fixed price of 600,000.

Even more greedy shop owners were willing to sell for 300,000, but demanded that they run Wallace's shop themselves.

One shop costs 600,000, so buying two would cost 1.2 million.

Consider that in Muye, even Pang Donglai's prime land only cost 1.2 million. How could Guo Fengsheng possibly agree to such an outrageous request?

He later told Lin Yifeng about the situation at the train station.

Seeing Guo Fengsheng's worried expression, Lin Yifeng smiled and comforted him.

"Alright, there's no need to rush this."

"I have my own way."

"I wasn't going there because of them in the first place."

The next day, Lin Yifeng took Guo Fengsheng directly to the railway bureau.

When the door was opened, a middle-aged man with a square face and a weathered appearance was seen sitting at the table, smoking one cigarette after another.

These days, working at the railway bureau is a prestigious position.

In addition to a considerable salary, they can also travel by train for free, and when visiting relatives during holidays, they can even book train tickets in advance.

When people ask where they work, railway workers can proudly puff out their chests. People in positions like the director of a railway bureau have a lot to deal with every day.

Besides routine official duties, there were also other people using connections to get people onto the railway.

Lin Yifeng knocked on the door and came in.

The director of the Shangdu Railway Bureau was completely dumbfounded when he looked at Lin Yifeng's youthful face.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

Lin Yifeng smiled slightly and took out a business card from his pocket.

"Hello, I am Lin Yifeng, the owner of Wallace."

As the hottest brand in the shopping mall recently, how could the director not know about it?

Not to mention the rumors circulating within their government that a certain provincial leader who was immediately transferred to Shangdu had a very good relationship with the owner of Wallace, and that this group of people came to Shangdu specifically to deliver political achievements to the provincial leader.

How could the bureau chief possibly be negligent towards someone with such a background?

He immediately stubbed out his cigarette, walked over from behind his desk, and shook hands with her.

"Hello, hello, I've heard so much about you."

"I didn't expect Wallace's boss to be so young."

"What is this...?"

Lin Yifeng gestured to Guo Fengsheng to hand over some gifts.

The director of the railway bureau glanced at the bag and couldn't help but gasp.

The two bags of Moutai liquor were heavy, with two bottles of Moutai inside level with the two Zhonghua cigarettes on either side.

In their system, this is considered the highest level of gift-giving. There are six bundles of money underneath the wine, just enough to make the bag fit perfectly with 60,000 yuan.

This whole series of interpersonal maneuvering completely baffled the bureau chief.

He couldn't understand why Wallace's boss would want to contact the railroad.

Is Lam Yat-Fung also short of train tickets?

Lin Yifeng smiled.

"Director Liu, please don't be so formal. This is just a small token of my appreciation. I'm here today mainly because I need to trouble you with something."

Director Liu was beaming with joy at receiving these two bags of gifts; he showed no sign of being negligent.

"Hey, what are you trying to do?"

"If there's anything, just give me a call from now on, and I'll have my staff handle it."

"Is it a train ticket? Where do you want to go?"

Director Liu opened the cabinet door with a smile, put two bags of cigarettes and alcohol inside, and kept trying to get closer to Lin Yifeng.

Lin Yifeng also shook his head.

"It has nothing to do with the train ticket."

"My main goal is to start a business at the train station."

"What do you think?"

Director Liu looked puzzled.

"Business?"

He was a little confused as to what kind of business could be done at the train station.

Surely Lin Yifeng isn't planning to open a small shop on the train platform, selling sunflower seeds and bottled water?

With Lin Yifeng's capabilities, he shouldn't be interested in such a small business.

Seeing Director Liu's curious expression, Lin Yifeng lowered his voice and began to explain.

After an unknown amount of time, Director Liu, sitting at his desk, frowned deeply.

The atmosphere in the room became somewhat oppressive.

Guo Fengsheng clenched his fists, his face full of worry.

In contrast, Lin Yifeng remained calm, still smiling as he looked at the other party, waiting for Director Liu's reply.

Director Liu's expression was grave, and he hurriedly asked the question.

"Mr. Lin, I'll consider the matter of fixing Wallace on the train."

"But this isn't something that can be done simply by me nodding in."

"You should know that this kind of thing needs to go through procedures and be reported up and down the chain of command."

Director Liu let out a long sigh.

He was quite shocked to see Lin Yifeng come to talk business with him, and couldn't imagine what they could possibly have to talk about.
