Chapter 456: Chapter 456 The Bitter End Comes Sweetness_1

"Forget it," Shen Dong hesitated for a long time, but still did not chase after her. After all, he had lived two lifetimes and was not about to be disturbed by a young girl in the bloom of youth.

However, he forgot that Tang Yuchan, this girl in the bloom of youth, was not only a heroine of the marketplace but also a girl in need of comfort.

At present, Shen Dong was more concerned with the rise of Huaxu.

With the lawsuit over, Huaxu was as good as having received official recognition from CTV. Next up, Mr. Zhou’s concert was bound to create a huge stir.

Shen Dong, including everyone else, had underestimated Mr. Zhou’s influence. When he returned from Jing City, Hai City was already overcrowded. In the cold winter months, although Hai City was not as cold as the north, the temperature was still approaching zero. Even so, the streets of Hai City were filled with tents and sleeping bags.

Therefore, Hai City Hotel was filled to capacity, and quite a few resourceful people paid locals to stay in their homes.

Not to mention anything else, even the sellers of candied haws could make more than two hundred yuan a day.

The People of Hai City went crazy all at once.

Walking through the streets, Huaxu’s fame was everywhere.

"Ai, my aunt made three hundred a day selling boxed lunches in the street. These city folk, bumpkins—they even pay eight yuan for fried chili with bean curd skin."

"Can’t say enough about how big Huaxu’s business is. They just know how to do it. Once there are more people, we in Hai City benefit too. You don’t know how much money that basement of Huaxu makes; my sister-in-law runs a stall there. She was making money from wholesale before, but now, she can make over four hundred a day from retail sales."

Kang Yue and Shen Dong were leaning on the windowsill of Silver Moonlight, looking at the bustle on the streets of Hai City.

"Finally, we see hope, Shen Dong," Kang Yue said with a smile of relief, pointing to the concert venue that was rehearsing and the unfinished Huaxu Building, which was spectacularly illuminated by the lights, looking like a castle.

Kang Yue pointed to the ’castle’ and said, "Sooner or later, even without a concert, Huaxu Building will draw this many people. Following the model of Yiwu Small Commodities City, we will definitely create a light luxury base!"

"Our hub, the logistics system, is also gradually improving. Right now, the only thing that differs from the future is internet technology."

"Huh?" While speaking, Kang Yue turned her head and smiled, her pretty face especially fair under the moonlight.

She asked, "Do you know why Zhao Wenliang failed?"

When it came to this, Shen Dong truly had to learn humbly. He quickly brought over the tea tray and set it on the windowsill, "Please enlighten me."

"Because he has seen more than you," she said.

Upon hearing this, Shen Dong’s face was full of incredulity, "Why insult me?"

"I’m not insulting you." Kang Yue didn’t know why, but she took out her glasses from her pocket, put them on, and looked at Shen Dong seriously, "He’s seen a lot, knows a lot, and hence thought he was invincible. That’s why he failed. You just have to look at the people at the concert to know."

"At the moment, the people who can afford to attend concerts are either rich or noble."

"How many internet-savvy youngsters are there? The main internet users are between 18 to 25 years old, but these people often don’t have much money in their pockets."

"Not to mention the issue of the circulation of smartphones. Just one point, about online consumption, do you think this era can accomplish much? What was the turnover of Taotao.net back in the day? They nearly went bankrupt!"

"However, Huaxu is different. They use a combination of online marketing and multi-level marketing strategies. Simply put, it’s still word-of-mouth propagation. In this era, people trust television and their friends more. Thus, in terms of marketing, Huaxu has won."

Shen Dong almost pulled out a notebook to take notes.

The part about the target audience’s spending capacity gave Shen Dong great insight. Indeed, university students living on four or five hundred yuan a month was considered a lot now. How could one think like the future?

"You are right," Shen Dong immediately had some ideas and commanded, "For the next phase, our Huaxu must delve deeply into the national individual business operators."

"They are our main customers, and rightly so, the presence of Huaxu has impacted local individual businesses within a certain range, so they’ll definitely want to join our team!"

"Right, it should be this way." Kang Yue said with a smile, pulling out her phone and glancing at it before casually answering, "Hello, Tang Yuchan?"

"Hurry and help, the lawsuit’s effect is too strong, we can’t keep up here!"

Through the phone, one could hear Tang Yuchan’s excitement.

Overwhelmed, that must be a lot of orders.

"Shen Dong, we are going to make it big!" Kang Yue exclaimed in excitement, hugging Shen Dong and planting a kiss before dashing off.

Going to make it big?

Shen Dong’s heart pounded, and the waves of emotion surged within him after seeing Tang Yuchan in the office.

So strong.

So strong.

The workplace was an open space, at least as big as a 400-meter track field. On the left, people queuing up for partnership talks stretched out like a long dragon; over forty people were too busy to manage. On the right, telesales staff wore full-faced smiles, and the ringing of phones never ceased.

"Don’t just stand there, go and introduce the Huaxu partnership model to the people who have come to the site." Tang Yuchan, sweat beading on her forehead, slapped a stack of documents into Shen Dong’s arms before turning towards the VIP area, "Mr. Zhang..."

Shen Dong, of course, didn’t slack off. He approached the line and said with a warm smile, "Boss, are you here to wholesale or..."

"Wholesale, wholesale, what are you even asking, kid?"

"I count as an employee here, too. Mind if I chat with you for a bit?" Shen Dong had never found the noise so pleasant, his smile growing ever more radiant.

...

Every single order signified Huaxu’s booming success.

Shen Dong smiled carelessly, unaware of the saying that falling on flat ground doesn’t hurt, but falling from the sky could cost you your life.

During the seven days before and after the concert, Hai City Huaxu Underground Mall’s combined wholesale and retail sales created nearly one hundred million in turnover, with the average income of stall owners reaching five thousand.

Seven days, five thousand.

The people of Hai City went wild with joy, with countless holding signs wanting to buy a spot in the Huaxu Underground Mall. Subsequently, the prices in various small stores throughout Hai City also increased by at least thirty percent.

"Oh, that’s nothing; do you know how many pigs Ming City slaughters a day? The hallways are filled with people squatting to eat, making a net profit of over forty thousand a day! With a few more events like this, I could go public!" This was Wang Shengli.

"Yo, forty thousand, think you’re something special?" Wang Xiaocong had imagined Shen Dong would shine, but he hadn’t expected it to come so swiftly, so abruptly.

He raised a fist and shook it in midair, "In my food street, each stall owner made a net profit of a thousand a day. Let me give you a figure, fried potatoes sold over forty thousand skewers in seven days. A dime profit for stall owners, a dime profit for us, you do the math, how much money that is."

"Then I’m almost embarrassed to say." At that moment, Kang Yue walked in, waving her ledger.

Whoosh, Wang Shengli and Wang Xiaocong promptly stood up in unison, eagerly wiping the chair and placed it before Kang Yue, "You are the real boss here. Please take a seat. What would you like to drink?"

Kang Yue wasn’t shy and took a seat with her legs crossed, flipping through the ledger, "I won’t report the retail turnover, the accountants haven’t tallied it yet.

Just the wholesale orders, currently we have over nine hundred orders between five thousand to ten thousand, three hundred seventy-three between ten thousand to fifty thousand, and five hundred twelve orders over a hundred thousand."
