Chapter 33: Partner

Chen Yang spun off the agricultural products supermarket, actually just to guard against Zhang Jun.

That guy is still recuperating in Xingcheng, but he will eventually return to Xingcheng. With his vengeful nature, he will surely find a way to make Chen Yang's supermarket fail.

With the Lin Family backing him, Zhang Jun dare not use underhanded tactics; he will only play tricks in operations. So his remaining means are to wage a price war and seize supplies.

Chen Yang doesn't fear competition; he fears the opponent's ruthless, no-holds-barred attrition. This would not only plunge Chen Yang's cash flow into difficulty, but also affect the work enthusiasm of friends like Du Yue'e and Lin Feng.

If an agricultural products trading company is established, using the company's name to supply the supermarket. Then Zhang Jun's hostility would shift from the supermarket to the company. He might even offer the supermarket special discounts to steal Chen Yang's company's customers.

In this era when information is not yet well developed, Chen Yang actually does not worry about competition between companies.

After all, the Zhang Family's main business is real estate development and entertainment. The agricultural products sector was also something Lin Wei, in her previous life, had been assigned to the grassroots, and Zhang Jun began to dabble in it only to curry favor with her. In this life, they, like Chen Yang, are starting from scratch.

Although they cannot match him in funds, Chen Yang leads them by twenty years in information. As long as he casts his net into the countryside, the supply problem need not be worried about. For sales, with the Lin Family's official resources, Chen Yang can also snag a large customer base. Even if Zhang Jun spends a lot of money on PR, Chen Yang can still shift his business to Xingcheng or other nearby cities.

By then, even if Zhang Jun wanted to exterminate him, he would be powerless. After all, Zhang Daguo could not tolerate his son consuming the family's funds without limit for personal grudges.

After the Lin Family's family meeting ended, Chen Yang opened the laptop Lin Wei had brought back, and recorded in detail, one by one, the process of establishing the agricultural products company and supermarket and all the required preparations in a document.

The supermarket is fine; it has a storefront and staff, just need to handle sales.

As for the company, he must carefully consider every step and every detail, from market research to site planning, from personnel recruitment to equipment procurement, from brand promotion to operations management; Chen Yang dares not be negligent in any way.

By the time he had filed all the matters needing attention, it was already late at night.

Chen Yang immersed himself in his entrepreneurial plan, feeling a bit exhilarated. He wanted to share his grand plan with Lin Wei, but found she had already fallen asleep.

Considering that Lin Wei had spent the whole day moving back and forth between Xingcheng and Qingshui City, which was already quite a hassle, Chen Yang could not bear to disturb her further, so he decided to browse the internet.

He had just logged onto QQ when Liu Qingqing popped up a chat window!

"Senior, aren't you asleep yet? Are you missing me?"

"Miss you my big-headed ghost, it's so late, hasn't the school cut off the internet?"

"I'm at home! Watching 'A Chinese Odyssey', it's hilarious, my stomach hurts from laughing! Do you want to watch together?"

"Have you finished watching it?"

"Yeah, I've watched it twice!"

"Then you didn't notice it's a tragedy of unrequited love?"

"……, wuu—wuu—, it really seems like a tragedy."

Chen Yang suddenly felt like a damn idiot, bringing up the wrong pot.

"Don't cry, wait until I return to Xingcheng to treat you to Haagen-Dazs."

"Really? You'd better not go back on your word."

"Am I someone who goes back on their word?"

"Hmph, who back then promised to be with me, but in the blink of an eye ran off with the senior sister?"

"……"

"What about the senior sister? Aren't you together? Or were you chased out by her family and left wandering the streets?"

"She's asleep. Can't you think a little better of me?"

"Hehe, you two are not good, so I have a chance!"

"Aren't you afraid she'll beat you up?"

"What's there to fear? She's hundreds of miles away, she can't fly!"

Chen Yang sighed, with Lin Wei's intelligence, there's no need to personally go to Xingcheng. A Su Mingyue could silently manipulate Liu Qingqing without anyone noticing.

And Lin Wei had operated in the Xingcheng University Student Union for four years; how could there be only one undercover agent like Su Mingyue?

"Senior, why are you still awake so late?"

"I'm preparing to open an agricultural products trading company, doing the preliminary preparations."

"Huh? You plan to stay and develop in Qingshui City?"

"Yeah, the initial stage will definitely be in Qingshui City. If everything goes smoothly, we'll later consider expanding to Xingcheng or other cities."

"Then do you need a partner?"

"Do you want to join?"

"As a senior, I'm pretty free anyway; learning some entrepreneurship experience from you wouldn't be bad."

"……, I need to remind you that second-generation rich kids starting businesses basically never have good results. You'd better go to your father's company to get familiar with the situation, so you can later comfortably take over as successor."

"No, I want to rely on my own ability to carve out a piece of sky. I want the senior sister to know that I am a woman more outstanding than her!"

Chen Yang rubbed his forehead, just about to advise Liu Qingqing to sober up a bit, when suddenly a fragrance came from behind.

"Yo, actually sneaking a meeting with an old lover while I was asleep!" Lin Wei snatched Chen Yang's mouse, glanced at their chat log, and only after seeing nothing ambiguous did she reveal a satisfied smile.

She pushed Chen Yang aside, and in QQ sent a message to Liu Qingqing: "Classmate Qingqing, when will you come to Qingshui? Sis will also treat you to Haagen-Dazs."

"Does Qingshui have Haagen-Dazs? You big liar! I'm tired, bye!" Liu Qingqing quickly logged off.

Lin Wei shifted her gaze to Chen Yang, smiling as she asked: "Do you want to partner with her to start a company? Or do you want to keep that lingering, broken-lotus-silk private affection?"

Chen Yang gave her a white eye, saying: "The market in Xingcheng is huge, and the Liu Family's resources are good; if the company wants to grow, partnering with Qingqing is definitely one of the best choices. Of course, if you oppose her joining because of personal romantic feelings, I fully support you."

Lin Wei was satisfied with Chen Yang's attitude, and also gave her own opinion: "As a wife, I do not want Qingqing to intervene. But as a resident of Qingshui, I also hope more capable capital will come to Qingshui City to support its development."

Chen Yang thought of someone and told Lin Wei: "Why don't I go bring Qingqing's cousin to Qingshui to invest? He is the developer of Sunshine Garden Community, capable and ambitious, surely interested in Qingshui's market."

Lin Wei frowned slightly, worried: "The current big environment in Qingshui is so poor? Can her cousin even take a liking to it?"

"Rest assured, I have over sixty percent confidence!" Chen Yang dared not speak too absolutely, but he knew that the Liu Clan Group's subsequent investment in Qingshui was indeed substantial. Liu Shijie is the person in charge of the Liu Clan Group in Qingshui.

Seeing Chen Yang full of confidence, Lin Wei half-jokingly said: "If you can really bring the Liu Clan Group over, I can tolerate Liu Qingqing's classmate loitering in front of me."

Chen Yang sighed, not wanting to quarrel with her over trivial matters. He began to take off his clothes, preparing to bathe and sleep.

Lin Wei, however, had no intention of letting up; she slowly removed her underwear, and like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, she pounced Chen Yang onto the bed.

"Don't, I haven't taken a shower yet..."

"It's fine, I don't mind you being dirty!"
