"Boss, don't worry. If I wanted to scam, I wouldn't come to an old fox like you. I just feel that for a hundred thousand yuan, compressing half a year into a month is quite worth it. Also, when it comes to getting married, it's best to cut the Gordian knot quickly. Otherwise, things can drag on, and it's as simple as that."
Chen Feng explained briefly.
"Hearing your explanation, I can conclude that you are no ordinary person. Your thinking is too thorough, almost too clear-headed about the world."
The matchmaking agency boss sized up Chen Feng curiously and said.
"You say I'm not an ordinary person, and I'll shamelessly admit it. Since you think so highly of me, I'll give you one piece of advice to make your matchmaking agency even more profitable."
Chen Feng said with a smile.
"Please enlighten me."
"Go to Douyin, Zhihu, Kuaishou, Momo, Weibo, Bilibili... and create accounts on these platforms. Single men love to use these apps. Think about it, men who have women spend their evenings engaging in 'battles' with them and have no time for these apps. You need to be willing to invest in advertising, and then your clients will be so numerous you'll need dozens of staff to handle them. Modern society is a society of traffic; no matter what you do, you must learn to use traffic."
Chen Feng explained word by word.
The matchmaking agency boss was deeply convinced.
"Boss, how about this? I won't charge you for this time. Could you help me implement this 'traffic-driven turnaround' for your matchmaking agency? Honestly, over the years, this agency has made some money, but I'm constantly anxious, dreaming about how to attract clients for consultations. Hearing you speak so smoothly, you must be an expert."
The matchmaking agency boss stated directly.
"One point five million, to have me help you for a week, don't you think that's a loss?"
Chen Feng asked intentionally.
"Boss, although you look very young, you are a very capable man. If I'm not mistaken, you're also in business, and your business is quite substantial. Not only that, but you also seem to have deep connections in the political arena. One point five million for a week of your help is absolutely worth it."
The matchmaking agency boss said excitedly.
"Then aren't you afraid I'm a fraud?"
Chen Feng continued to ask intentionally.
"I've been in business for decades. If I can't even distinguish a fraud, then I've wasted decades in business. Boss, could you please just do me a favor?"
The matchmaking agency boss said sincerely.
"Alright! How about this, I'll give you a million, essentially benefiting you by six hundred thousand. Honestly, your vision isn't small either. Most bosses, upon hearing my suggestion, would think I'm just boasting or talking theories. Only you saw the value in my advice. On that note, we are kindred spirits. And since we are kindred spirits, I can't let you lose so much. Besides, in business, you can't let only one person lose. If I truly did that, my path would only become narrower and narrower."
Chen Feng replied calmly.
The matchmaking agency boss's heart stirred.
Chen Feng was indeed an extraordinary man, that was confirmed.
Such a vision, there was truly no second person like him in the provincial capital.
Without further ado, Chen Feng settled into the matchmaking agency, working tirelessly on his computer day and night.
Registering accounts was very simple; all it took was a phone and a business license to get an official account.
The problem was how to drive traffic.
These platforms all had one thing in common.
If you didn't spend money, it was impossible to get free traffic.
Furthermore, just spending money wasn't enough; you had to spend it wisely.
Chen Feng had a lot of experience in this regard.
From starting as a leader's driver, his journey had been closely tied to the concept of traffic, whether it was leveraging traffic to build momentum and achievements in the political arena, or using traffic to buy goods and find merchants in his own business.
By integrating into the traffic ecosystem, many things became easier.
A week later, the results were evident.
The matchmaking agency's entrance was almost overrun.
"Mr. Chen, your idea is truly brilliant. Before you leave, could you do one last good deed? With so many clients flooding into the agency, how can I avoid losing any?"
The matchmaking agency boss asked earnestly.
"Borrow around ten million yuan."
Chen Feng replied abruptly.
"Ah? Borrow around ten million yuan?"
The matchmaking agency boss was stunned.
Had Chen Feng misheard?
He had asked how to make more money, and Chen Feng was talking about borrowing money.
"Yes, borrow ten million yuan, and use this money to rent a small building in the city center, calling it 'Happy Home Matchmaking Agency.' Then, each floor will cater to different clients. The lowest floor will be for the 'loser' tier. The top floor will be for the wealthy tier..."
Chen Feng explained calmly.
The matchmaking agency boss instantly understood and was completely impressed by Chen Feng.
This business acumen was truly exceptional, and it perfectly exemplified the saying that one must "give up a child to catch a wolf."
"Mr. Chen, you've helped me with two major things, yet you only took six hundred thousand. Honestly, I feel quite indebted. How about you take back the remaining million?"
The matchmaking agency boss said earnestly.
"Boss, actually, you don't need to feel guilty. To be honest, I should be thanking you. After all, this is a valuable practical application of my business brainstorming, allowing me to re-understand the mysteries of the marketplace. That's not the most important thing; the most crucial part is that I can apply the principles of the business world to the political arena. In short, I have also gained something."
Chen Feng comforted the matchmaking agency boss while thinking about the Ming Shan District leadership meeting scheduled for a few days later.
He had been struggling to come up with a stunning idea for Qin Yan, and now he had one.
"Alright, in that case, I won't waste any more of your time, Mr. Chen."
The matchmaking agency boss said gratefully.
After a brief chat, Chen Feng returned to Jiangcheng from the provincial capital.
"Chen Feng, some people say you spent the whole week at the provincial matchmaking agency. Is that true?"
As soon as Chen Feng entered Qin Yan's office, Qin Yan asked with a hint of jealousy.
"That is true, Director Qin."
"Chen Feng, you have quite a few women. There's me, Wang Ziwei, Cheng Lu, Feng Dao Huizi, Cui Yali... Do you need to go to a matchmaking agency to look for new women? This isn't the Chen Feng I used to know."
Qin Yan stared intently at Chen Feng.
"Director Qin, you've misunderstood. I had legitimate business to attend to at the provincial matchmaking agency this time. And that's not the most critical part; the most important thing is that through the experience at the provincial matchmaking agency, I've devised a better method for our Ming Shan District's GDP declaration at tomorrow's leadership meeting."
Chen Feng replied earnestly.
"Didn't we agree? Our Ming Shan District's GDP declaration should be reported as high as possible. Do we still need to think of better methods?"
Qin Yan asked with confusion.
"Of course, we do, Director Qin. If we just declare dry figures, the persuasiveness is weak. To be frank, the higher authorities know that the GDP data from all lower districts are fabricated. However, the higher authorities don't care; they just want the numbers to appear as real as possible."
Chen Feng explained.
"As real as possible? How is that possible? What is fake is always fake, and it can never become real."
Qin Yan's confusion deepened.
"Fake can be made to feel real. The best method is public opinion... a storm of public opinion."
Chen Feng explained with a smile.
