Not long after April, news broke of a substandard milk powder scandal, a precursor to what would later be known as the "Sanlu Incident."

The Sanlu scandal unfolded gradually. It started with a few cases of babies with large heads, then suspicions arose that the milk powder was problematic, followed by a large-scale investigation into milk powder quality, and finally it was determined that the products of several milk powder companies, primarily Sanlu, contained melamine.

It's not that every company produces substandard milk powder, but if one or two companies produce it, it can cause widespread panic.

Especially now, with the one-child policy in place, having a child means the whole family's hope and treasure. Who would dare to feed their child formula so casually?

In early April, the situation had not yet escalated to the point of widespread panic, and everyone was in a wait-and-see period.

Yang Yajing knew that the situation would not be so calm in less than a month.

All the milk powder manufacturers are now issuing denials, saying they have nothing to do with it, and guaranteeing the quality of their products. The Pang family is certainly saying the same thing.

Xia Changlong had already sensed something was amiss. Thinking about how Yang Yajing had asked him to invest in imported milk powder, he wondered if Yang Yajing knew something.

"Girl, tell me honestly, do you know something? How is it such a coincidence that the milk powder caused this problem?"

"It's such a coincidence!" Of course, Yang Yajing couldn't tell Xia Changlong that she had been reborn. "You know Pang Yuxiang, right? The manager of that milk powder factory? I have dirt on Pang Yuxiang, and I've always felt that he's not a clean person."

"So last year you had me invest in imported baby formula just to try my luck? You had no idea if it would even make money?"

"Isn't this just good luck?"

"Yang Yajing! You gambler! Do you know that I haven't earned a single penny for baby formula in the past six months? If you lose the bet, wouldn't that be cheating me? I trusted you so much!" Xia Changlong glared at him, his beard bristling.

"So you didn't lose the bet, right? Don't worry! You'll earn the money for baby formula soon!" Yang Yajing said calmly. "But before you start earning money, would you like to spend a little more?"

"You bastard! Am I your ATM? No way!" Xia Changlong was still furious.

"Do you still want to earn money for baby formula?"

"Is this a gamble or a well-laid plan?"

“What do you mean by gambling?” Yang Yajing shook her head and denied it. “It’s a matter of probability! Most unclean people will do unclean things, and they will be exposed sooner or later. It’s not gambling. At most, it’s just a matter of how long it takes to wait for the opportunity to come to you.”

"What money do you want to spend? Why does it have to do with my baby formula money? Or are you just waiting for something to happen?" Xia Changlong had calmed down after his outburst, and his tone had improved, but he still couldn't resist being sarcastic.

"No, I'm absolutely certain this investment will yield immediate results, the sooner the better!"

Hearing this, Xia Changlong felt much better: "Speak!"

"This is no small matter when it comes to baby formula. Nobody wants to risk their only child becoming a 'big-headed baby.' That's why imported baby formula is being snapped up," Yang Yajing began her explanation.

Since the health campaign began, the era of online shopping has also begun, and it is showing an increasingly strong trend.

The tide of the times is always moving forward, and the development of e-commerce platforms is inevitable.

Quanwukang and Bian Xiaoming's platforms are still local platforms in Jincheng, but it's not only people in Jincheng who have children, nor is it only people in Jincheng who are worried about the quality of milk powder.

Yang Yajing's idea was to acquire express delivery outlets across the country, making Bian Xiaoming's express delivery company a trustworthy nationwide network.

Quanwukang could also bypass the postal service and start a nationwide express delivery business.

She asked Xia Changlong to spend money to acquire these small local platforms and bring them under Bian Xiaoming's courier company.

At the same time, she hopes that the imported milk powder distributors invested in by Xia Changlong can set up online stores and open official direct sales for the brand.

In just a few months, China will be in a state of severe shortage of milk powder. At that time, the price of imported milk powder will soar and the supply will still fall short of demand. There is no need to worry that Xia Changlong will not be able to recoup his investment.

"You're profiting from disaster again? Aren't you scared?" Xia Changlong grinned wickedly.

"What's there to be ashamed of? We're just following the supply and demand principle. Setting prices is the merchants' business. We're just providing a platform and sharing the profits!" Yang Yajing said without a hint of unease.

"How much do you want?" Xia Changlong asked.

"Should I send eight zeros first?"

"You bastard! You just casually throw around a hundred million? Do you think my money is easy to earn?"

"Is it hard to make money? No problem, I'll help you make it back sooner or later! Send me the money first!"

Xia Changlong was still muttering to himself, but his hands didn't stop typing on the keyboard. In just a few minutes, Yang Yajing's account had an extra 100 million yuan.

With the 100 million yuan, Yang Yajing opened an account and asked Bian Xiaoming to open a company black card, linking that card to her account.

"Bian Xiaoming, is it alright if you stop operating the company in Jincheng?" Yang Yajing asked after he finished taking care of these matters.

“That’s perfectly fine, but why do you say I’m not here? Where am I supposed to go?” Bian Xiaoming was a bit confused.

"Starting tomorrow, you'll need to acquire courier companies in major cities for the next month, the sooner the better," Yang Yajing finally got to the point.

"An acquisition? We're going to be running a nationwide network? In a month? Isn't that too fast?" Bian Xiaoming asked, somewhat puzzled. "And acquisitions require a lot of money, right? The company has just turned a profit; we don't have that much working capital, do we?"

"Didn't I already give you the money?" Yang Yajing pointed to the company's black card.

"Is this a credit card? Overdraft? Is this risky?" Bian Xiaoming wasn't one to risk money he hadn't earned.

“Your card is linked to 100 million yuan, it’s not a risk,” Yang Yajing said casually, but Bian Xiaoming’s expression had already changed.
