Chapter 296: Chapter 201: The Directory of the Huashang Chamber of Commerce_2

Chen Cheng also laughed. He liked seeing Xiao Meier smile, so bright and carefree, as if all the troubles in the world had nothing to do with her.

"But seriously,"

Xiao Meier’s laughter slowly subsided, revealing a hint of worry in her eyes, "I’m still a bit scared. What if the milk tea shop doesn’t do well when it opens?"

Chen Cheng: "Trust me, it’ll be good."

Xiao Meier took a deep breath, "Yes! I believe you!"

...

...

The next day, inside the courtyard.

Feng Biao brought four or five agents to find Chen Cheng.

"Dacheng." He waved his hand, and Chen Cheng pointed to the stone table in the courtyard, gesturing for everyone to sit down.

Chen Cheng didn’t beat around the bush and got straight to the point: "Everyone, I brought you here today because I’m looking to find some storefronts."

The word "some" set everyone’s nerves on edge.

Feng Biao was no exception.

He asked, "Is Wanbao Hall opening branches? Aren’t you moving a bit too fast?"

Chen Cheng smiled and shook his head, "Xiao Er and I are planning to open a milk tea shop."

Feng Biao was stunned for a moment, then showed an expression of sudden realization,

"I was wondering what was going on. It turns out sister-in-law is opening a shop! But Cheng, you really spoil your wife. In my opinion, why not just take over a spot next to Wanbao Hall? Why go through all this effort?"

Chen Cheng smiled, "This time, opening a shop is different from before."

"How is it different?"

"Using Wanbao Hall as the starting point, we’ll radiate outwards, taking over every vacant storefront that is about a 10-minute walk from the shop. I want them all."

It struck like a clap of thunder.

Chen Cheng’s casually spoken words left everyone’s mouths agape.

"No way, you’re opening that many at once?" Feng Biao was aware Chen Cheng had made a fortune this past month.

But this method of opening shops was something he had never seen before.

"Right, as many as there are, I want them all!" Chen Cheng added, "Whether they’re for sale or for rent, you guys go and gather the information for me."

"Mr. Chen, our Dazhai Men agency has a lot of listings, and according to your requirements..."

One of the agents hastily pulled out his phone and said, "Within a ten-minute walk, it’s mainly concentrated around the Drum Tower, Baocao Alley..."

Chen Cheng interrupted him, saying, "I haven’t finished. The storefront space should be controlled at under 30 square meters, with water and electricity and preferably facing the street."

He looked at the others and continued, "You go back and list all the storefronts that meet the criteria, then I’ll set up a group and we can all go take a look later."

"No problem!"

"Mr. Chen, rest assured, we’ll get back to you as soon as possible!"

Chen Cheng held up a finger, "I give you one day to join the group."

The agents present were all very excited, this was a big deal and if they could facilitate it, they would make a fortune!

After building the group on the spot, Feng Biao rubbed his hands excitedly, "Dacheng, this is going to be big!"

Cheng only smiled and didn’t say much. In his mind, he already envisioned Camellia stores scattered all over the streets and alleys of Beijing.

After seeing the agents off, Chen Cheng took Feng Biao down to the courtyard’s basement garage.

Once in the car, Chen Cheng asked, "Biao, if I remember correctly, your car dealership has a factory in Fengtai that’s been empty, right?"

"That’s right, it was originally going to be used for refurbishing used cars, but then because of policy reasons, it’s been vacant."

Feng Biao knew Chen Cheng wouldn’t mention this without a reason, so he asked, "What, you want to use it?"

"That place is well-located. I’m thinking of renting it out to use as a distribution warehouse for the milk tea shop. What do you think?" Chen Cheng shared his thoughts.

Upon hearing this, Feng Biao immediately understood Chen Cheng’s plan. He slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Brilliant! Why didn’t I think of that!"

He excitedly said, "Dacheng, how does your mind work? How did you come up with this!"

Chen Cheng smiled. He knew Feng Biao liked compliments, so he said, "It’s all thanks to Brother Biao’s resources, otherwise, I wouldn’t have thought of this."

"Enough with the mutual business flattery. Don’t worry, the warehouse is just sitting empty anyway, subletting it to you also solves a problem for my boss."

Feng Biao then said, "Shall we go check it out now? Should I call my boss?"

Chen Cheng started the car, "No rush, we’re going to one place first."

"Where to?"

The NIO car left the garage, heading straight for CGG.

...

...

About thirty minutes later, Chen Cheng arrived at CGG’s front desk with Feng Biao.

He knocked on the desk and said, "Hello, I’m here to see Chairman Wen."

"Do you have an appointment, sir?" the receptionist asked with a smile.

"Yes, surname Chen, Chen Cheng."

After checking, the receptionist led them to the elevator.

Like always, she pressed the elevator button for them and bowed as they said goodbye.

The moment the elevator doors closed, Feng Biao couldn’t hold back anymore, "Dacheng, do all these finance people look so exquisite? That figure, that face! They’re prettier than anyone in our car dealership!"

Chen Cheng chuckled and teased, "Then why don’t you give it a try?"

"Hahaha, you little rascal!" Feng Biao laughed as well, "If I had a company like Chairman Wen’s, I’d be..."

"Aren’t you afraid of Yingzi?"

Feng Biao said cheerfully, "Just enjoying the perks with my mouth, there’s no other way!"

The elevator quickly reached the floor, and Wen Shulin’s secretary had been waiting at the elevator for some time.

"Mr. Chen, Chairman Wen is already waiting for you in her office, please follow me."

Chen Cheng and Feng Biao followed the secretary to Wen Shulin’s office.

After knocking and entering, Wen Shulin seemed much more spirited than last night.

However, for Feng Biao who was visiting for the first time, she was puzzled but still welcomed them with a smile because of Chen Cheng.

"Mr. Chen, Director Feng," Wen Shulin greeted.

Feng Biao raised his eyebrows and repeatedly said, "Chairman Wen, you’re jesting with me, I’m no director!"

Wen Shulin invited the two to sit down, and the secretary brought over tea.

Once everyone had left, Wen Shulin asked, "Mr. Chen, what brings you here today?"

"I want to look at yesterday’s data," Chen Cheng said straightforwardly, "with Shu Biao."

Without asking the purpose of the visit, Feng Biao, and hearing this, Wen Shulin didn’t hesitate, opening the file.

But this time, she didn’t let Chen Cheng sit in her seat, just turned the computer screen toward the two of them.

Chen Cheng confidently took hold of the mouse and scrolled through the page.

After seven or eight seconds, he stopped and said, "Biao, take a look, these are Nai Xue’s delivery vehicle models."

Chen Cheng turned to Feng Biao, "Could you source these if we bought them?"

He stared carefully at the data on the computer screen for a while, then looked down and pondered, "First, we need to confirm which model you want."

"That’s the 2.9 cubic box-type van," Chen Cheng pointed at the screen, "Just like the one up there."

"The Wuling minivan! These are very inexpensive, with an initial payment of just over ten thousand, you can get it, and that’s for a brand new one."

Feng Biao paused for a moment, then it dawned on him, "You’re opening so many shops, aren’t you planning to form a fleet?"

"Definitely."

Chen Cheng was confident, "I plan to establish a small logistics team first, dedicated to the delivery of milk tea shops. Later, when the scale is larger, we’ll consider setting up a dedicated logistics company."

Feng Biao was initially confused, but he immediately understood after hearing Chen Cheng’s answer.

Turns out, Chen Cheng wanted to take this opportunity of opening milk tea shops to start his own logistics as well!

Feng Biao gave a thumbs-up, "Dacheng, you really are stepping up your game!"

"I didn’t expect you to handle this part on your own," Wen Shulin, who had been quiet, finally spoke up.

Chen Cheng smiled, "Just like the milk tea shops, no franchise, direct management."

"What about the tea-making equipment, digital catering services, material supply, etc.?" Wen Shulin asked, "Are you also developing those yourself?"

"I couldn’t possibly have the capability to do that," Chen Cheng laughed, "That’s why I came to you today, right?"

Wen Shulin frowned slightly, "To me?"

"Yes! Camellia hasn’t even shown a shadow, and if I were to negotiate with these suppliers, I wouldn’t have the capital!"

Chen Cheng said with a half-smile, "That’s why I need Chairman Wen to step in and see if there are any shortcuts!"

Camellia involved not only Chen Cheng but also Wen Shulin.

She thought about it for a while, opened a drawer, took out something that looked like a book, and handed it to Chen Cheng, "You choose yourself."

"What’s this?"

Wen Shulin replied, "The directory of the Beijing Chinese Chamber of Commerce."
