Chapter 457

Everyone, this Chen Yang is so arrogant! First he went to Vice Governor Liu to complain, and today he went to see Secretary Chen of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee. Looking at this posture, he's going to go head-to-head with us to the end.

Zheng Weimin, I'm not saying this about you. They can call the shots in Xingcheng—how could they have no background? We didn't spend a penny, and they gave us ten percent of the shares for free—that's already generous. And you? You still want twenty percent. Now Secretary Chen is backing them; let's see how you manage.

Zhu Junhao, shut your mouth. Don't think I don't know you're secretly in cahoots with that kid. They give you a little benefit and you betray the organization. In my opinion, your shareholder qualifications should be revoked at today's meeting.

Zheng Weimin, you're full of yourself—Chairman Wang hasn't even spoken yet, and you're already giving orders around here? What, do you want to take Chairman Wang's seat?

Zhu Junhao, stop stirring up trouble. If you won't follow the organization's arrangement on the Chen Yang matter, you should quit.

Alright, you two stop arguing. Since Chen Yang wants to take everything for himself in the Dongjiang New City project, I'll give him a lesson. Everyone, if you have time, pay more attention to other real estate projects. If another Chen Yang shows up, this organization might as well disband.

Yexin, you should still communicate with Chen Yang. If he's willing to give twenty percent of the profits, we can sit down and renegotiate.

Chairman Wang, everyone here has some experience in real estate, so you roughly know the profit margins. After deducting government taxes, bank interest, construction costs, etc., the net profit is at most twenty percent. They invested thirty billion yuan, you put in nothing, yet you want to take all the profit. Isn't that bullying?

Yexin, stop speaking up for Chen Yang. In the Dongjiang New City project, the Chen side can at least make forty percent profit. What's wrong with us taking twenty percent?

Zheng Weimin, how about you come up with sixty billion to buy the land use rights for the International New City project? We'll let you handle the project, then give us twenty percent of the dividends.

Yexin, what are you talking about? If I had that money, what business would I have with the Chen family?

Heh, if you don't have money, don't act like a big shot. I'm saying this now: if you really want to go against Chen Yang, I won't bother with Woyou Ju's affairs anymore. You'd better find someone else.

Um... Chairman Wang, fellow shareholders. My brother-in-law has already said that if I dare to trip up Chen Yang, he'll break my leg. So I won't get involved in this operation.

After Yexin and Zhu Junhao left, the entire Woyou Ju meeting room fell silent.

In the chairman's office of Old Hundreds Agricultural Products Trading Company, Chen Yang was also holding a meeting with Shen Anna.

"Anna sis, in the coming months we will face great competitive pressure in Dongjiangsheng. This pressure is not only online but also offline, and may even be mixed with some unseen off‑field factors."

"So you must urge the lower‑level management department to ensure product quality control and service are done well, giving no opponent a chance to attack us."

Shen Anna already learned from Yexin about the crisis Chen Yang was facing, and she said with a solemn expression: "Boss, normal business competition we don't fear at all; we fear they will use underhanded tactics. Why don't we spend a bit more money to strengthen security work?"

Chen Yang agreed with Shen Anna's suggestion. Besides strengthening the security force of the Old Hundreds Building, he also prepared to enhance protective measures at the headquarters and the southern cold storage.

Furthermore, Chen Yang had Chen Bing find several retired soldiers to secretly protect his safety.

After arranging everything, Chen Yang returned to the villa on Jiangmen Dao and waited quietly for the action from Worry‑free Residence.

Three days later, the Old Hundreds E‑commerce Platform suddenly received a large number of complaints that directly crashed the customer system. Immediately afterward, the platform's servers were attacked by multiple hackers, causing a near‑three‑hour outage.

At the same time, Old Hundreds Agricultural Products Trading Company's chain stores in Xingcheng also faced malicious provocations from customers, resulting in multiple personal‑conflict incidents.

Upon receiving the news, Chen Yang simply had Shen Anna handle the follow‑up work for the offline stores.

As for the platform's problem, he even deliberately had Luo Hao slow down the processing speed.

Doing this was intended to make the situation even more serious.

The bigwigs of the Provincial Committee are not fools; when a company's online and offline businesses are simultaneously targeted, it must be an organized, premeditated conspiracy.

And everyone knows without guessing that the force behind this conspiracy is the hidden power of Worry‑free Residence.

Chen Yang held back his troops, simply wanting to see how the province would handle this matter.

If the troublemakers and the masterminds are dealt with seriously, Chen Yang will continue developing in Dongjiangsheng; if it is handled lightly, he will have to consider transferring all core industries out of the province.

Chen Yang didn't wait long; an hour after the incident, the troublemakers at Old Hundreds Agricultural Products chain stores were all taken away by Xingcheng police.

Three hours later, Chen Bing called Chen Yang, saying that the Xingcheng City Network Supervision Bureau had already captured the hacker team that maliciously attacked the Old Hundreds E‑commerce Platform.

Chen Yang opened his computer and checked the company's e‑commerce platform website, finding that the system had returned to normal.

He immediately called Shen Anna.

"Anna sis, post a notice on the website stating that the company will compensate all users affected by today's e‑commerce platform outage."

"Also, arrange some shopping discount credits in users' platform accounts; depending on their consumption, the maximum discount can be up to fifty percent."

Shen Anna didn't quite understand Chen Yang's arrangement. "Boss, we've already given compensation; there's no need to arrange additional discount credits, right?"

Chen Yang explained to her: "Compensation merely temporarily steadies users' emotions; discount credits are what truly give them tangible benefits."

"After the Old Hundreds E‑commerce Platform rose, many copycat platforms have appeared domestically. To compete for users, they will surely try every means to attack our platform. Situations like today's will happen countless times."

"If we don't give users some benefit, how could they possibly stay with us and persevere?"

"Okay, I'll take care of it right away." Shen Anna felt Chen Yang's words made sense and immediately dispelled the doubts in her heart.

When she posted the announcement as Chen Yang requested, the online response was indeed a chorus of approval.

That night, the sales volume of the Old Hundreds E‑commerce Platform directly surpassed one hundred million.

This result left Shen Anna laughing and crying at the same time.
