"Here's the thing, County Chief. Our Xingchen Technology has created an e-commerce platform called Pinduoduo. I thought, since I'm a part of Wushang, I should naturally think of my hometown first when there's something good, right? So I'm going to cooperate with our Wushang Market."
"Oh? How do we cooperate?"
"My idea is that Pinduoduo should open registration to all businesses in Wushang for free. As long as they have a valid business license, they can open a store on Pinduoduo for free. Then, Pinduoduo will select some products from the market to conduct group buying activities for 10,000 people. By relying on Pinduoduo's traffic, we can showcase good and cheap products to consumers across the country. This will not only promote the economic development of Wushang, but also expand Wushang's influence."
The county magistrate's eyes lit up after hearing this. Indeed, Wushang was in dire need of transformation and upgrading amidst the global economic tide. The Internet would be a mainstream direction for the future, and the government was already studying transformation strategies. He hadn't expected Lin Chen to come to him on his own initiative.
"Hahaha, President Lin, it's a blessing for Wushang to have an entrepreneur like you. This idea is fantastic. Internet transformation will be a mainstream direction for future development. So, how can our government cooperate?"
"We hope that the authorities can encourage market vendors to participate actively and hold e-commerce training courses to train them for free. Of course, if they need our assistance with training, we will be there whenever needed."
"Yes, that's no problem. We'll discuss the details in the meeting, and then we can start assigning tasks."
"Thank you very much, sir."
"Not at all, I should be the one thanking you."
After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Chen and his two companions left the official building.
Huang Zheng was still standing there, looking completely bewildered: "That's it?"
"Yes, this is a win-win-win situation. We gain merchants to join, merchants gain the benefit of opening stores for free, and the government gains experience in exploring development directions and paths."
"President Lin, so you saw through all of this long ago. You're truly farsighted."
Lin Chen smiled slightly. In his previous life, Wushang was famous worldwide for its e-commerce after its small commodities, creating one wealth myth after another on this magical land.
"Mr. Huang, why don't you take a stroll around the Wushang Small Commodities Market and do some market research?"
"And what about you, Mr. Lin?"
"Of course Anrou and I are still on holiday. It's still the May Day holiday, okay? Enjoy seven days of May Day fun and happy work too. Keep it up!"
Huang Zheng: ...So I'm just here to work in a different place?
Lin Chen drove his Cayenne with An Rou, first taking them to a small commodities market. But honestly, most people's reaction to going to a market is:
I was surprised when I first entered the market, exclaiming, "Wow! It's huge! There are so many things!" Then I saw various signs on the stalls, such as "No retail sales," "Minimum order of 500," and "Minimum order of 1,000." After browsing for half an hour, I found that the whole area was full of shops selling similar things. In the end, I walked 30,000 steps that day and came back empty-handed.
Fortunately, Lin Chen was quick-witted. He bought 500 of the ones An Rou liked, kept a few for himself, and took the rest back to put on a discount website as small gifts for netizens during regular activities.
Hmph, what does it mean that a man who focuses on his career is the most handsome? That's right, it's me, Lin Chen, the career-oriented man!
An Rou looked at the trunk full of stuff and took out her phone to take a picture with satisfaction.
Lin Chen and An Rou went to a shopping mall in the city center for dinner. Lin Chen took out his phone and asked people to join him in a group chat.
"Miss, Xiao Wan, come out and play mahjong, we're short two players."
"Coming, coming, Miss will be here soon. Xiao Wan, shall I come to pick her up?"
"Okay, hehe."
"Young lady, you're driving with a lot more confidence now."
That's right.
"Do you know how to park? You won't park the car between two parking spaces, will you?"
"Hehehe, even with its eyes closed, it wouldn't park between two parking spaces."
Lin Chen handed his phone to An Rou and said, "Look, Shen Yue said that even with her eyes closed, she wouldn't be able to park between two parking spaces."
An Rou angrily chewed on her chopsticks.
"Haha, Miss, I showed what you said to An Rou. She is the one who always parks between two parking spaces without fail."
"Aaaaah, Lin Chen, are you trying to kill me? You're deliberately trying to sow discord between me and Sister An Rou. Humph, I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm driving."
Twenty minutes later, Shen Yue and Su Xiaowan arrived at the mahjong parlor.
"Sister Anrou, I'm sorry, I didn't know Lin Chen was talking about you. Here, this is the milk tea I brought for you."
"Thank you! It's nothing. That's just how Lin Chen is. We'll eat his cards together later."
"Okay, hehe."
The four of them played mahjong until midnight before disbanding. Surprisingly, Lin Chen won all the games, which made Shen Yue and An Rou so angry that they kept grumbling about wanting to puncture Lin Chen's tires.
Whether it was because their mouths were blessed or not, when they arrived at the underground parking lot, Lin Chen's car tires were indeed flat.
"I'm so confused. Where am I supposed to find someone to fix a tire this late at night?"
Shen Yue stuck out her little tongue: "Why don't you ride in my car first, and I'll take you home? We can find someone to fix the tire tomorrow."
An Rou sighed: "We only found out yesterday when we got back that Mom and Dad went on a trip, and neither of us had our keys with us, so we can't go back."
"Where did you two stay last night?"
"A hotel."
Shen Yue and Su Xiaowan's hearts skipped a beat at the same time. Shen Yue jokingly asked, "You two aren't going to be sharing a room, are you?"
"How could that be? Of course there are two rooms," An Rou quickly denied, though her tone seemed somewhat unsure.
Shen Yue and Su Xiaowan both breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Chen inspected the tires and found a large nail. He stood up, clapped his hands, and said, "Miss, please take us to a nearby hotel. This tire has a big nail in it, so we'll have to find someone to change it tomorrow."
The four of them arrived in front of Shen Yue's carriage.
"Oh, a Mercedes! Miss bought a new car."
"Hehe, I just bought it after returning from the May Day holiday. I bought it with my own money."
"Wow, that's amazing! Congratulations! You should treat me to ten or eight meals to celebrate!"
"Pshaw, when you bought the Porsche..."
Shen Yue originally wanted to say, "Why didn't you treat me to ten or eight meals when you bought the Porsche?" But then she suddenly remembered that Lin Chen had bought the Porsche for her, so she quickly changed her mind.
"Go ahead and treat me. Anyway, you're the one who pays my bonuses, so use your money to treat yourself."
Lin Chen thought about it and realized it made sense. Then he looked at An Rou and thought, "Oh well, I bought An Rou's car too. Good heavens, why is it so hard to get a free meal?"
