Shen Youchu knew Huang Hui. She seemed to be Wang Zibo's ex-girlfriend, but Chen Hansheng never admitted this relationship.
As for Ye Qi, she was a stranger. However, Shen Youchu didn't like to gossip. She took Chen Hansheng's "hotpot" jacket and went to the bathroom.
In the bedroom, Chen Hansheng and Hu Linyu looked at each other.
Chen Hansheng spoke first, "Secretary Hu, why haven't you left?"
"You haven't left either."
Hu Linyu didn't want to be outdone and asked back.
Chen Hansheng sneered, pointed to the ground and said, "This is the house I bought."
"So what if you bought it?"
Hu Linyu was even more arrogant than Chen Hansheng, "I'll sleep here tonight with Shen Youchu and A Ning in my arms. I know you can sleep here in the future, but can you sleep here before graduation?"
"Ho ho …"
Chen Hansheng stuck his head out and saw Shen Youchu was still washing her jacket in the bathroom. He lowered his voice and said, "Why don't we make another bet? I bet I can sleep here before graduation. Do you want to bet?"
Chen Hansheng stopped smiling when he said this. He looked more serious than when he talked about "55 million" just now.
Hu Linyu's heart skipped a beat. She twitched the corner of her mouth and finally said, "Rogue, I don't want to bet with you!"
"Humph, you don't dare."
Chen Hansheng snorted proudly and walked out to go back to the university.
When passing by the bathroom, Chen Hansheng pointed to the washing machine and asked loudly, "Shen Youchu, are you stupid? Why don't you use the washing machine?"
"It's, it's just a jacket."
Shen Youchu was a little nervous when being questioned. She answered honestly, "I don't need the washing machine. It's a waste of water."
"Okay."
Chen Hansheng nodded, "My mom likes you. Wait for it."
"Oh, what are you waiting for?"
Shen Youchu asked stupidly.
However, Chen Hansheng had already left. Hu Linyu came over and slammed the door shut. Then, she said fiercely, "Wait for him to sleep with you!"
… ….
After Chen Hansheng went downstairs, he called Xiao Rongyu again, but she still didn't answer.
He sent another message, but she didn't reply.
Chen Hansheng knew that Little Yu'er was still angry, but the purpose of this message was not to apologize. It was to let Xiao Rongyu know that he was still thinking about her.
Back in the dormitory, the atmosphere in room 602 was still as relaxed as before. Some people were playing games, and some were reading Wuxia novels. Everyone was already used to Chen Hansheng's sudden disappearance and reappearance.
On the one hand, Chen Hansheng used to be like this. On the other hand, it was the second semester of his junior year. As long as he didn't go overboard, the dormitory auntie wouldn't care anymore.
"Brother Ling, the sun is good these days. Let me dry your quilt."
Li Zhennan walked over and said.
"Okay."
Chen Hansheng nodded to express his gratitude. He looked at Li Zhennan from head to toe. As the fourth year approached, Li Zhennan was the most uneasy person in the dormitory.
Yang Shichao, Dai Zhenyou, and Guo Shaoqiang were all preparing to go back to their hometown to develop their careers. This was their original intention.
Kim Yang-myung was a local of Jianye, so he would definitely stay in Jianye. As for Chen Hansheng, no one was worried about his future.
Only Li Zhennan was worried because he was in a relationship. He had to consider the existence of his girlfriend when planning his future. Unfortunately, his girlfriend wasn't from the same place.
If he stayed in Jianye, Li Zhennan was worried that he couldn't find a suitable job. If he went back to Guangdong, he would have to face a long-distance relationship with his girlfriend.
"Ah Nan."
Chen Hansheng smiled and threw a cigarette over. "Don't you have this kind of feeling? Love and whatnot really affect one's life in the pugilistic world."
"Sigh."
Li Zhennan smiled bitterly.
The rest of the dormitory laughed foolishly. Even the sound of Dai Zhenyou flipping through the pages of his book became cheerful.
The night in Jiangling District was still as charming as ever. This kind of suburban area with a university town would gradually become quiet after midnight, except for the occasional group of drunk youths passing by the crossroads. It was probably a university's student union gathering.
Or a few internet addicts running out of internet cafes and hurrying back to school.
Even the patrolling police were bored. They didn't see many people along the way. Only when they passed by the Industrial Avenue did they see two brightly lit electronics factories.
Looking at each other in the deep night, the feeling of opposition was very obvious.
Hong Shiyong, the current leader of New Era, hadn't rested yet. He looked at Nutshell Electronics through the glass window, holding a cigarette between two fingers. His frown seemed to be gathering a lot of pressure.
Unlike Chen Hansheng in Nutshell, Hong Shiyong had a lot of political power to balance in New Era. There was the influence left by the "retired emperor" Zheng Guanren and the opinion of the "new emperor" aunt.
Even the management who helped him "overthrow" Zheng Guanren weren't strong enough. However, he couldn't fire them now. After all, the factory was already in turmoil.
"Sigh."
Old Hong was a little envious. Although Nutshell was just established last year, it didn't have any burdens.
"CEO Hong."
Secretary Shen Mingliang walked in with a cup of strong tea. "You have to rest well."
Hong Shiyong took two sips of the porcelain cup and suddenly asked, "Little Shen, what do you think the odds are between us and Nutshell?"
"On the surface, it's 70: 30."
Shen Mingliang was his personal secretary. Just like Nie Xiaoyu to Chen Hansheng and Jiang Yunyun to Zheng Guanren, his loyalty to his boss was without question.
"Oh."
Hong Shiyong nodded.
So far, New Era's MP4 was in its second round of testing. Nutshell's first round of testing was not over.
In terms of sales channels, although Nutshell had poached the original sales manager, Cui Zhifeng, the distributors were all businessmen. They wouldn't follow Nutshell just because of Cui Zhifeng.
The distributors would sell to whoever could bring them money.
In addition, New Era had already taken out a portion of its expenses for publicity. Billboards were hung in the city center, but Nutshell was still indifferent.
"On the surface, it's more than 70: 30."
Hong Shiyong suddenly changed the topic. "But based on past experience, Nutshell definitely won't be so passive. It has a lot of tricks up its sleeve. I'm just wondering, how will Nutshell find its own distributors?"
In 2005, physical shopping was still the most popular. Online shopping methods like Taobao had not been completely accepted. Shopping malls were still the biggest end-user sales.
But based on what he knew, Nutshell didn't seem to have these channels.
"If there's no distributor."
Shen Mingliang was also puzzled. "How will they get the cheap MP4s into the hands of those young people?"
"Sigh, I can't see through the real and the fake, but it's going to be a fierce battle."
Hong Shiyong flicked the cigarette butt. The spark drew an arc in the air like a starting gun signal, announcing that this game of scheming had officially entered a white-hot state.
… …
The next morning, Chen Hansheng got up and drove Nie Xiaoyu to Shentong's headquarters in Hucheng for a business discussion.
Since Shentong bought Rocket 101, the domestic express delivery industry had changed. Although it was still not as good as Shun Feng, Yuantong and Zhongtong had been left far behind.
"Actually, I didn't want to come too much."
When going upstairs, Chen Hansheng's face was full of heartache. "Every time I see Cheng Dejun, I feel that Rocket 101 was sold too cheaply."
"I think so too."
The secretary also agreed. "When I heard that it was sold for 55 million, I thought that Director Chen went to extort money. Now it seems that it's too little. Rocket 101 has become a big brand in Shentong's hands.
That's right, Rocket 101 now has a wider coverage, covering all the universities in the country, and it's the first choice for college students to send mail.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Rocket 101 will only become more and more devalued in our hands. Only in large express delivery companies can it play the social role that it should take."
Chen Hansheng touched his chest. "I can only be counted as the birth mother of Rocket 101. Halfway through, I found that the milk was not enough. I had no choice but to send the child to 36E Shentong to raise …"
"Damn, Director Chen, can you be more normal?"
Nie Xiaoyu hurriedly interrupted. "Just now, two female employees of Shentong walked past and kept staring at you."
"What's there to be afraid of? Anyway, I don't mind."
Chen Hansheng shrugged his shoulders.
"But I'm thin-skinned."
The secretary said sadly.
… …
"Hansheng, you're here."
Cheng Dejun, the chairman of Shentong, saw Chen Hansheng and walked over to shake hands politely. "Long time no see, you look different every day."
"Director Cheng is the one who is different. Last year, you advanced a lot in the Hurun Rich List."
Chen Hansheng gave him a thumbs up. "I'm looking forward to seeing you enter the top 50."
"Shun Feng's Wang Wei can do it, but I can't."
Cheng Dejun modestly waved his hand. "Actually, it's only a matter of time before Hansheng enters the list."
"What's the use of entering the list?"
Chen Hansheng curled his lips. "It's not like I can marry two wives. Let's talk about business."
"Hahaha ~"
Cheng Dejun laughed and said, "It's as if you are planning to marry two wives."
"Haha ~"
Chen Hansheng laughed. Nie Xiaoyu couldn't help but roll her eyes. Director Chen is really too thick-skinned.
Actually, regarding the intention of cooperating with Shentong, Nutshell had already expressed. For the sake of their past friendship and Professor Sun, Cheng Dejun agreed to use Rocket 101 and even Shentong's channels to help deliver or sell goods for free.
Logically speaking, this kind of help was already very generous. However, Chen Hansheng wanted more.
"Chairman Cheng."
Chen Hansheng pointed at himself and said, "You know me. I always say what I want to say. In short, I'm just a simple college student. In terms of character and moral integrity …"
"Well, what do you think? Just say it directly."
Cheng Dejun almost couldn't stand it anymore. After all, it was not the first day that they knew each other.
"Although Chairman Cheng is willing to help with the sales for free, the following outlets may not be very attentive. After all, it's free. Since it's a voluntary service, they won't be very attentive."
Chen Hansheng did not shy away from pointing out the loopholes in this approach. He was indeed an innocent college student who said whatever he wanted to say.
"Hansheng, what do you think?"
Cheng Dejun asked in a deep voice.
"My idea is that it can't be free. For every MP4 sold by Rocket 101, the following outlets can get a commission of 10 RMB."
Chen Hansheng was worried that Cheng Dejun didn't know the current price, so he deliberately explained, "10 RMB is a day's meal for an ordinary college student."
"That's even better. I thank you on behalf of the following brothers."
Cheng Dejun was a little surprised. He thought that Chen Hansheng was going to put forward some harsh conditions.
"However, I have a small request."
Chen Hansheng continued, "Since the establishment of the Nutshell factory, the consumption is too high. The capital chain is a little tight. Can Shentong pay for the part of the sales first?"
"What?"
Cheng Dejun finally understood that this was Chen Hansheng's idea.
On the surface, it was "sales", but in fact, it was "subscription".
"Sales" meant that Nutshell would ship the MP4 to Shentong, and Rocket 101 would send it to the following outlets. For every MP4 sold, the outlets would get a commission of 10 RMB.
"Subscription" meant that Shentong would buy the MP4 first, and then send it to the following outlets through Shentong · Rocket 101. For every MP4 sold, the outlets would still get a commission of 10 RMB.
Although there was only one more procedure between the two, the difference was too big. It was equivalent to Shentong taking a part of the risk.
"The MP4 that Shentong didn't sell can still be returned."
Chen Hansheng still wanted to explain, "Nutshell will be refunded at the original price. This is equivalent to protecting Shentong's profit …"
"Hansheng, you don't need to say anymore."
Cheng Dejun smiled, "Let's make it simple. Shentong will become your distributor. The established outlets of Rocket 101 will be your direct sales channel. Other brands of MP4 can only be bought in the shopping mall, but Nutshell MP4 can be seen in the university. Shentong will also take a part of the risk. Even if the MP4 is not sold out, Shentong can return it."
"That's right. That's what I mean."
Chen Hansheng said enthusiastically, "This is also a win-win cooperation model."
"I don't know if we can win in the future, but right now, Shentong is at a disadvantage."
Cheng Dejun didn't agree or refuse. He stared at the hot tea on the table and thought for a while. Suddenly, this topic jumped out.
"Hansheng, do you know what is' Sohu series'?" Cheng Dejun asked.
"Yes, I understand once I hear it."
Chen Hansheng nodded, "It used to be an employee of Sohu company. Later on, he jumped out to start his own business. Everyone calls him 'Sohu series'."
"That's right."
Cheng Dejun nodded slightly, "Hansheng is still as smart as always. At the end of last year, I went to attend a gathering of the Hurun Rich List. I found out that they were all in a group. Just like the Sohu series, Wangyi series, Sina series, and so on. I didn't expect that the emerging capital nowadays has roots."
"Chairman Cheng, do you mean that you want me to belong to the 'Shentong series'?"
Chen Hansheng was smart, he immediately understood what Cheng Dejun meant.
"I can't say that you belong to the 'Shentong series'. The controlling power is still yours. We are just a small group that is united to fight against outsiders."
Cheng Dejun explained, "After all, we are close partners in the business field. In private, we also have a good relationship with Professor Sun …"
"No problem, no matter who is attacking Ping An City, my group will definitely help them … Wait, wait."
Chen Hansheng changed his words again, "If Shentong wants to attack anyone in the future, I, Nutshell, will definitely help them."
