Chapter 436: Deep City Branch Expansion

After Chen Yang finished communicating with Gong Wen, the villagers arrested in Willow Tree Village were released one after another. Finally, only five main suspects remained under investigation.

Since the evidence was solid, no one else came forward to plead for those people. Lin Wei's work then began to go smoothly.

After Chen Yang achieved his goal, he began packing his luggage.

After the S virus epidemic ended, Hu Shiyou specially called to remind him, and the Ordinary People Building project cooperating with Zhu Zhu should also be launched.

Chen Yang did not go directly to Deep City, but drove to Xingcheng. Because this trip to Deep City not only required handling the Ordinary People Commercial Building project, but also the expansion project of the branch of the Ordinary People Agricultural Products Trading Company.

During the epidemic control period, the chain stores of the Ordinary People Agricultural Products Trading Company had mediocre business, but online sales were extremely hot. There were at least a thousand orders each day.

Under these circumstances, the expansion plan of the Deep City branch must be accelerated.

To achieve speed, we must transfer all of the company's backbone personnel there.

So Chen Yang directly borrowed Qian Duo Duo and Luo Xue, two key generals, from Shen Anna. He had them go to Deep City to assist Zhao Xiaoxiao in handling the financial budget and personnel coordination work.

As for He Yifei, Chen Yang also assigned him a task, requiring him to establish the company's own cold chain logistics system in Deep City and Goat City as quickly as possible.

This way, whether procuring goods from the southern provinces or transferring supplies from Dongjiangsheng to Deep City and Goat City, everything will be much more convenient.

When the plane arrived at Deep City Airport, Zhao Xiaoxiao and Xiao Jian had already been waiting at the airport exit for a while.

Luo Xue and Qian Duo Duo immediately embraced and greeted Zhao Xiaoxiao. They were originally best friends; although they often kept in touch by phone, not seeing each other for several months still made them especially excited.

Zhao Xiaoxiao bought a BMW car in the company's name for personal use, and Qian Duo Duo and Luo Xue got into her car. After the three got in the car, they set off first, leaving Chen Yang, the boss, with Xiao Jian.

Meanwhile, Xiao Jian was driving a Benz purchased by Su Mingyue using funds from the Ordinary People Financial Investment Company. This young lady rarely went out when she was in Deep City, so basically Xiao Jian did the driving.

After getting in the car, Chen Yang asked Xiao Jian with concern: 'How is your family doing in Deep City? Are you still adapting to life here?'

Xiao Jian laughed and said: 'The weather here is much better than in Xingcheng, and life is also more convenient. The only problem is that I don't get along well with the locals; I can't understand what they say.'

Chen Yang said to him: 'Deep City doesn't have many locals; mainly it's migrants from all over the country. As long as you speak Mandarin, communication shouldn't be too difficult. Moreover, Cantonese is actually not hard to learn; if you study earnestly, you'll grasp it in a few months.'

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jian glanced at Chen Yang with a hint of surprise and curiously asked: 'Boss, you don't often stay in Deep City, so how do you know so much about the situation here?'

Chen Yang couldn't explain this to him, so he made up an excuse: 'Before coming, I inquired about the situation here with netizens from Deep City on an online forum.'

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jian sincerely exclaimed: 'Boss, you're really amazing—you can know everything under heaven without leaving the house!'

Chen Yang laughed and said: 'This is the advantage of the internet. With just a network cable, you can communicate with strangers thousands of miles away. Just wait—soon people's lives will be inseparable from the internet.'

Xiao Jian felt Chen Yang's statement was a bit exaggerated; at least his family still had colleagues from the original Xingcheng Food Co., Ltd. who didn't use the internet much.

However, he also knew that Chen Yang had set up a huge online sales platform, whose business was extremely booming. When deliveries were busy in Deep City, Xiao Jian even worked part-time as a delivery person.

Speaking of which, he also found it amazing. In this world, there actually exists a service that lets you get the products you want delivered right to your doorstep without leaving home.

From the shopper's perspective, he even felt it was somewhat enjoyable.

Xiao Jian suddenly asked Chen Yang curiously: 'Boss, if everyone goes online to buy vegetables, will our physical chain stores still have business?'

'Of course there will be.' Chen Yang said: 'Not everyone will use and trust online shopping. For example, elderly people with poor ability to accept new things, or people like you who aren't interested in the internet, will still go to physical stores to shop.'

Xiao Jian fell silent instantly. He felt that in Chen Yang's eyes, he had already become an atypical existence.

All the way silent, upon arriving at the branch of the Ordinary People Agricultural Products Trading Company in Deep City, it was already 3 p. m.

Chen Yang was visiting the branch for the first time, and found that Xiaoxiao's site selection was quite thoughtful—she placed it right next to the Ordinary People Commercial Building under construction. This way, after Chen Yang arrives in Deep City, he won't have to run back and forth.

Moreover, when the company later relocates to the Ordinary People Commercial Building, it will also save a lot of time and effort.

'Boss, do you have any important instructions for this visit to Deep City?' Zhao Xiaoxiao looked at Chen Yang with a grin; her bright smile showed no trace of having once been infected by the S virus.

'Xiaoxiao, we came to Deep City this time to help you set up the branch's framework. If you need money, let Manager Qian give you the budget. If you need personnel, let Manager Luo arrange it. If you need to use connections, I can go talk to Mayor Hu.'

'In short, I'm giving you only two months. After two months, the Deep City branch must enter a high-speed operating state and become the absolute main force of the company's future development.'

Zhao Xiaoxiao didn't expect Chen Yang to give her such high authority. She immediately declared: 'Boss, rest assured, I will certainly not disappoint you!'

Chen Yang turned his gaze to Qian Duo Duo and said: 'Manager Qian, for the Deep City branch project budget, please give as high as possible. Don't be afraid to spend money; I'm never short of money.'

Qian Duo Duo stuck out her tongue, saying that nationwide, there aren't many bosses as generous as Chen Yang that she knows. The key is, this boss is not only generous but actually has money.

Precisely because Chen Yang is so wealthy, as the manager of the company's finance department, Qian Duo Duo always feels that her abilities have not been fully unleashed.

'Boss, as long as you don't begrudge the money, I will budget for Xiaoxiao at the highest standard.'

'No problem!' Chen Yang responded very nonchalantly, then said to Luo Xue: 'For the selection of department heads in the Deep City branch, you also need to hold to high standards. They should have experience, but not be too old. For the company to develop quickly, we need more energetic and creative teams.'

Luo Xue fully agreed with Chen Yang's viewpoint. 'Boss, rest assured, my requirements have always been strict. For this recruitment of department heads in the Deep City branch, I will not consider anyone below the level of an overseas returnee with a master's degree.'

Chen Yang immediately rejected her idea: 'Manager Luo, forget about overseas returnees. If it turns out they were sent by foreign competitors, our platform would be ruined. I think it's more reliable to select talent from domestic elite universities and companies.'
