Chapter 6: All Slick People
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ye Feng knew very well that it was not difficult to copy the business philosophy of Haidilao.
If this trial was successful, his peers would soon learn from him.
When that time came, it would be a competition of speed!
After returning to the dormitory and having a simple meal, he took out the customized bank card that Zhang Nan had replaced for him and placed it in his wallet.
Mobile payment had become popular because of the acceleration of smartphone technology in this world!
Then, at 11:30am!
Ye Feng stared at his phone nervously. After all, the first multiple-choice question had appeared yesterday at this time. Furthermore, that multiple-choice question had given him 50 million!
Time ticked by. Just as Ye Feng was beginning to worry about his personal gains and losses, a pop-up window suddenly popped up!
“It’s here!”
Ye Feng was delighted and hurriedly looked over. However, the contents of the pop-up window almost made him jump.
“If you were an entrepreneur, what would you choose from the following three options?
“1: A beautiful secretary who is experienced but not clingy;”
“2: A shop that never incurs losses;”
“3: A gold-standard manager.”
“I choose Option 3!”
Ye Feng made his choice without the slightest hesitation.
For Option 1… When it came to things like a secretary, he could definitely afford one with his wealth!
As for Option 2, it sounded very tempting, but the term “never incurs losses” was too broad.
If he earned ten million, he would never incur a loss. However, he would never incur a loss even if he only earned one thousand.
Only Option 3, a gold-standard manager, was what Ye Feng needed the most right now!
Because of his identity as a student, Ye Feng was bound not to have much management experience, much less have the time to manage the store.
Thus, a manager could reduce the amount of trouble he would face.
Furthermore, it would be a gold-standard manager!
How could someone who could be labeled as the gold-standard be simple?
As usual, after making his choice, the pop-up window quickly disappeared.
However, the manager did not arrive immediately.
This was understandable. After all, the manager was a living person. How could he appear right after Ye Feng had made his choice? The manager was not a monkey…
“Oh, isn’t this our Great General? What, did you come back after winning the war?”
“Tell me, how badly did you defeat her last night?”
Liu He’s laughter could be heard from the door.
“Third Brother?”
Ye Feng turned around and saw Yang Chao’s haggard face. There seemed to be dark circles around his eyes. It was obvious that he had worked too hard and had not rested well last night.
“Woah, looks like the battle last night was very intense last night.”
“Young people should control themselves!”
“Don’t forget that the National College Basketball Competition is about to begin in a few days. You are the main player. If you collapse, your captain will go berserk and separate this adulterous couple. ”
Ye Feng walked over and gave Yang Chao a light punch before continuing to tease him.
“That woman is as fierce as a tiger!”
At that moment, Fan Jiawei sighed and shook his head seriously.
“Go away.”
Yang Chao pushed Ye Feng away with a flushed face. “Look at all of you. Why are your thoughts so dirty? It’s nothing like what you think!”
“Tsk ~ We don’t know about you yet.”
“Stop pretending!”
“Hahahaha.”
Laughter broke out in Dormitory 7012.
…
In the afternoon, after finishing a few lessons, Ye Feng asked Liu He helped him take his books back and simply walked out of the school gate.
This was because Xu Tiancheng had sent him a message that he had found a renovation team.
“Hello, Manager Xu.”
Ye Feng met Xu Tiancheng again at the Tianda Business Center.
“Where’s the renovation team?”
As soon as he entered, Ye Feng went straight to the point.
The speed of renovation represented the speed at which he could start his business.
He was very anxious, but he had no choice. After all, this was his first time starting a business.
“Mr. Ye is an impatient person. I’ll call him now.”
Xu Tiancheng laughed. He was clearly in a good mood.
This was because he had signed a few more contracts in the morning. As a result, the recruitment mission for Tianda Plaza this month was almost completed.
“Just call me Ye Feng.”
When Ye Feng heard this, he had no choice but to sit down and drink tea while waiting.
At the same time, he started to calculate the number of people needed to open the hotpot restaurant and operate the most crucial supply chain.
“First, I need a manager. I already have one…”
“I also need a lot of service personnel to ensure that we reach the standard of Haidilao in my previous life…”
“As for the supply chain…”
Ye Feng had a slight headache at the thought of this.
It seemed that he could only find an ingredient supplier in this field through Zhang Nan.
“He’s here!”
At this moment, Xu Tiancheng stood up and spoke.
“Oh?”
Ye Feng turned around. Not long after, a middle-aged man walked in.
The middle-aged man handed Xu Tiancheng a cigarette before looking at Ye Feng. His hand that was holding a cigarette seemed a little hesitant, unsure if he should hand it to Ye Feng.
“This is Boss Ye, whom I told you about.”
Xu Tiancheng said in a timely manner.
“Haha, Boss Ye, I’m a boorish person. I didn’t recognize you just now. Please don’t blame me.”
As he spoke, he passed a cigarette to Ye Feng.
“It’s alright.”
Ye Feng smiled and shook his head. At the same time, he rejected the cigarette. “I don’t smoke.”
“It’s good that you don’t smoke.”
The middle-aged man praised Ye Feng and lit up the cigarette for Xu Tiancheng at the same time. He then glanced at Ye Feng and put the cigarette in his hand away.
“Ahem, then I won’t smoke either.”
Xu Tiancheng pretended to cough twice and put out his cigarette on the table. “My cough has gotten worse recently. I’d better smoke less!”
“Are you afraid of me smelling the cigarette smoke because you know that I don’t smoke?”
Ye Feng glanced at the middle-aged man and thought to himself. “No wonder he was able to take over Tianda’s renovation services. Indeed, there is finesse in his roughness. One cannot judge a book by its cover.”
After all, Tianda had their own renovation team.
“Haha, let’s go take a look at the place we’re going to work on this time first.”
Xu Tiancheng spoke and led the two of them out.
“This is Xu Bin. He has nearly a hundred subordinates and is quite famous in our Quan City.”
“Is his surname Xu?”
Ye Feng glanced at Xu Bin, then at Xu Tiancheng, as if he understood something.
“No wonder… It turns out that you’re keeping all your benefits to your own family.”
“Don’t say that. I’m just a boor. I only barely managed to earn a living because of the trust from everyone here. Compared to Manager Xu, as well as the young and promising Boss Ye, I’m far inferior!”
Xu Bin smiled and said humbly.
Meanwhile, Ye Feng laughed on the inside.
If he only barely managed to earn a living… Wouldn’t other people have nothing to eat then?
Ye Feng didn’t believe that his renovation team, which had over a hundred people, didn’t have tens of millions in assets.
“You’re not a boor.”
Ye Feng sighed silently.
In just a few days, he had come into contact with so many slick people. He would never have the chance to come into contact with these people in school.
“I have to be careful when dealing with them. I have to be extra careful…”
…
“This is the place. This is the best location in Tianda Plaza, as expected of Boss Ye’s discerning eyes. I couldn’t bear to part with this place back when I sold it.”
Xu Tiancheng led the two of them to the third floor and stopped in front of a certain shop.
