882: Chapter 58: Wind Rises at Nanhua 9 (This chapter should be a bit interesting haha)_2 882: Chapter 58: Wind Rises at Nanhua 9 (This chapter should be a bit interesting haha)_2 Dingyi is playing the ‘Zen Investment Method’, while Family Good Items is messing around with ‘Private Domain E-commerce’.

You see, doesn’t the former seem a bit more high-end?

All this talk of Zen and Yi, isn’t it better than those little internet peddler stalls?

“As I’ve said, Dingyi Jinghua…

Nowadays is not like the old days.

Shanhaiguan is developing rapidly.

Low financing amounts mean we lose out, high valuations and the financiers won’t take us seriously.

And, as you’ve seen in the meeting reports, it’s hard to guarantee the sustainability of profits in the MCN industry at Shanhaiguan.”

“Shanhaiguan is developing rapidly”

Gu Chaofei’s expression control is excellent.

He nods with a smile, giving off an air of reassurance.

“That’s good.

If you need any support on Dongxin’s end, just let me know.

With the direction set by Director Cheng and Director Sun, we’ll just do our best.”

“They set the direction, and we do the work.”

Gu Chaofei and Zhong Ju are on the same level within the Dongxin Group, one being Sun Dongxin’s right-hand man, the other a key player in Dongxin’s management apart from Sun Dongxin.

But Gu Chaofei has been lukewarm about Shanhaiguan from the start.

Now that Director Cheng is steadily making progress, he has to consider whose voice will dictate the future of Dongxin.

Yes, he’s Dongxin’s Crown Prince, but he hasn’t ascended to the position yet, has he?

The Crown Prince’s job is the most agonizing, bar none.

Especially since Gu Chaofei isn’t actually the Crown Prince, he has to grind against Sun Dongxin bit by bit.

“Huh?

Old Gu, are you serious?”

Zhong Ju used to be Sun Dongxin’s driver, which is funny because Sun Dongxin himself started off as a big shot’s driver, which means Zhong Ju is quite perceptive, he’s too savvy to miss Gu Chaofei’s probing words.

It’s simple, Zhong Ju is also part of the Dongxin Group, so his future position is closely related to Gu Chaofei as soon as Sun Dongxin steps down.

So, Gu Chaofei dares to sound out Zhong Ju.

Maybe he wants to see Sun Dongxin’s attitude towards his successor in Dongxin, or he’s trying to win Zhong Ju over.

Hearing Gu Chaofei’s probe, Zhong Ju typically would have three choices: play dumb, show goodwill, or hint at some conditions.

However, he chose the blunt approach—directly pointing out Gu Chaofei’s ulterior motives.

Gu Chaofei, entirely nonplussed, laughs it off.

“Hahaha, Old Zhong, we’ve known each other for over ten years.

Director Cheng, oh Director Cheng, how impressive he is, Shanhaiguan too, and so are his acquaintances.

But as you just said, the profitability of their MCN business is quite dubious.

No flowers bloom for a hundred days, what do you think?”

Zhong Ju’s face twitches as he sighs.

“You’re overthinking it now.

There’s a lot about Director Cheng you don’t know.

Don’t worry about him competing with you…

The encirclement on Family Good Items is crucial, you’d better not play any tricks.

Moreover, you’re already the General Manager, Old Gu, take it easy.

Don’t jeopardize the bigger picture for small gains.

After all, Cheng Daqi is just an outsider with shallow roots.”

Isn’t that the truth?

Director Cheng could share drinks with Gu Chaofei because he aligned with him later in life, joining the Dongxin Group.

Looking at interests, from past to present, there’s never been a major conflict between Director Cheng and Gu Chaofei.

But Gu Chaofei’s behavior is actually quite normal.

Money, oh money, it moves the heart, as does the power within Dongxin.

“Alright, alright, your words give me peace of mind.

Old Zhong, why don’t we…”

Gu Chaofei expresses his stance quickly, but whether it’s genuine is another matter.

Observing the adaptable Gu Chaofei, Zhong Ju comments speechlessly.

“Don’t go spouting nonsense, I haven’t suggested anything!”

“Understood, understood.”

Zhong Ju exits Gu Chaofei’s office with furrowed brows, while the General Manager of Dongxin stares in the direction of the door, his hand clutching the cup frozen in place for a long time.

Gu Chaofei isn’t worried about Zhong Ju gossiping; rather, he may even have meant to express his stance through Zhong Ju.

His Crown Prince status wasn’t granted by Sun Dongxin, but earned through his own abilities!

Just one more step forward, and he can reign over this vast business Empire for at least a decade, but this step has taken too long.

“Honk!

Honk!

Honk!

Honk!”

A flock of geese scatters, running all over the village with the panting photographer chasing after them, camera shaking, breaths dry, giving the audience a sense of immersion.

The red-nosed geese count as the ceiling of combat prowess in the village; many kids return home for the holidays only to be stopped by these geese.

One of the main activities of this episode of “Let’s Farm” is goose catching.

“In today’s episode, we’ve invited the president of Shanhaiguan—Cheng Daqi, and of course, the long-anticipated Ah Zhao!”

Zhao Ying’s introduction is full of energy; she’s been waiting for stars and moons to finally see Director Cheng again.

It’s not about love, purely for the benefits.

But to say Director Cheng has a little bit of her on his mind is a stretch, probably none at all.

He’s here because he couldn’t dodge Zhao Hongjin’s silver bindings.

According to little Zhao, he grabbed her to accompany him on several days of inspections, yet he was reluctant to even participate in the show last time.

What a brute Chunchun is.

Director Daqi’s skin is as thick as a city wall, but ultimately he still wants face, breaking up doesn’t mean you disregard decency, so he still came.

Zhao Ying’s introduction continues in the background.

Once finished, the cameraperson’s focus shifts from a goose shaking its backside far away to Cheng Daqi.

“Hello everyone, I am the King of the San Rodolfo bums, the California Rancher, America’s number one beggar Cheng Daqi, and of course, I own a little company as well.

Just so happens that Ah Zhao works for me, so you all don’t have to wonder about our relationship!”

Director Cheng is dressed in a green torn sleeveless top and even more torn pants, his outfit matching perfectly with his self-introduction.
