Chapter 274 Turning the Tide
Chen Yang smiled faintly at Wu Feng and nodded, saying, "Congratulations on making the right decision."
"Actually, from the moment I entered this room, I knew you would agree to my terms. You are a man who builds businesses."
Chen Yang smiled and then left the abandoned steel plant with Zhu Que.
Wu Feng stood in place, his back straightened. He gritted his teeth, truly unwilling to concede. At his age, over fifty, perhaps he could still make one more push.
Wu Feng took out his phone, opened a WeChat group, and posted a message: "Brothers, come back. We're retracing the Long March."
As soon as the message was sent, the seventy-two people in the group instantly became agitated.
"What's happening? What's happening? Brother Feng is going to restart the express delivery business?"
"Old squad leader, I've been waiting for this day! Waiting for your command, we'll reassemble and sound the bugle call once more."
"Yes, we haven't lost yet. The previous two times were just because that scoundrel Ma Laosan found our weak spots. We were too trusting back then, didn't know how to protect ourselves. This time, we'll regroup and surely things will get better."
Wu Feng looked at the messages from his friends in the group and chuckled. He then said, "This is a golden opportunity for us, and possibly our last chance to start a business."
"Yangyangyang Company approached me. They've agreed to a minimum of one million orders per day, which means we'll have a guaranteed income of at least 1.5 million yuan daily."
"Additionally, they are willing to provide us with 45 million yuan in advance for a month. Their condition is that we must complete the express network by tomorrow afternoon."
"So, now, brothers, immediately recruit personnel and establish network points in the cities and towns of Jiang Province. I will coordinate with the contact points outside the province."
"In short, by noon tomorrow, I want all network points to be in place."
The people in the group immediately agreed, and then these seventy to eighty former comrades busied themselves.
Wu Feng immediately picked up his phone and contacted express delivery points in other areas outside Jiang Province.
This was a very tedious task, but Wu Feng had dealt with them many times before. Coupled with his honesty and integrity, the express delivery network points quickly connected as he made calls.
Although Wu Feng had not been in the express delivery industry for the past year, he had maintained contact with express delivery points in other provinces and cities.
Relying on his personal charm, a new express delivery network was rapidly being established.
Wu Feng was excitedly dialing one call after another.
Just then, a woman in her early thirties, leading a chubby, tender five or six-year-old girl, walked into the house.
The little girl was holding a Teddy bear.
Wu Juan greeted Wu Feng, saying, "Dad, what are you doing? You seem so excited."
Wu Feng looked at his phone and laughed heartily, saying to Wu Juan, "Good daughter, Dad is going to lead you and your mother back to a life of prosperity."
Hearing this, Wu Juan's expression changed drastically. She hurried over, snatched the phone from Wu Feng's hand, and asked him, "Dad, what are you talking about? Are you going to get back into the express delivery business again?"
Wu Feng nodded and smiled, "Good daughter, yes, this is a golden opportunity."
"Yangyangyang Company has over a million packages to ship out every day, and now other express companies are unwilling to cooperate with Yangyangyang Company. This lucrative opportunity is ours."
"We can start with Yangyangyang Company and then, once we establish the entire express network, our business will gradually expand."
Wu Juan shook her head in pain and said, "Dad, why haven't you learned your lesson yet? Think about how your mother died. Think about how your husband died!"
"Let's stop doing express delivery. If we fail again, it will mean ruin for our family."
Wu Feng shook his head and said, "Daughter, you really don't need to be afraid this time. I lost all our family fortune before, and I suffered a crushing defeat in the struggle with Ma Sanzhong. I feel very guilty."
"Your husband worked day and night for our family's express delivery business, and he died in a car accident. I feel very guilty."
"Your mother worked hard her entire life, and she died seeing our family's decline. I feel very guilty."
"But daughter, this is the only pursuit I have in my life. This is an excellent opportunity, and I want to make this industry successful. Don't worry!"
"Even if we fail this time, we won't lose anything, as we have nothing left to lose now, right?"
Hearing this, although Wu Juan was sitting on the sofa, she shook her head and threw the phone back to Wu Feng, saying, "Dad, I'm not worried about us losing our property again, but I'm worried about you."
"Ma Sanzhong is now the king of the entire express delivery industry. We are no match for him. If you get back into express delivery now, you'll surely become a thorn in Ma Sanzhong's side. What if he targets us then?"
Wu Feng chuckled at this and said, "Silly child, have you forgotten? I'm the old squad leader. The seventy to eighty men under me have all served in the military and carried guns. If Ma Sanzhong dares to use force, I'm not afraid of him!"
"I'm only afraid of him using insidious methods against us."
"But this time, I've made thorough preparations. In the years of failure, I've reflected deeply and learned from many mistakes. I believe this time we'll proceed steadily and surely turn defeat into victory!"
Wu Feng stood up, filled with confidence, looking twenty years younger. He said, "Daughter, I need to go to Yunnan next. My flight is at 8 PM tonight. After finishing my business, I'll return tomorrow morning. Take good care of Duoduo. Don't you two worry about me; just sleep soundly."
After saying that, Wu Feng bought his ticket, packed a few things, and prepared to leave for his business trip.
Wu Juan lay on the sofa, a helpless bitter smile on her lips. Men, no matter their age, always have their careers on their minds.
At this moment.
In the Yangyangyang Company's live stream, over twenty hired hosts were simultaneously promoting Yangyangyang Company's policies.
Buyers who placed orders in the first two days would have their orders fully refunded. Furthermore, Yangyangyang Company promised to cover any losses incurred due to consuming fake products, and then pursue reimbursement from the culprits. This ensured the customers' interests were fully protected.
Although initially, many people had criticized Yangyangyang Company for selling fake herbal tea and fake Imperial Jade Powder, soon, with the company's promotion and the progress of the investigation, people realized that Yangyangyang Company was a responsible enterprise.
What could have damaged their reputation initially became a case that, through the company's diligent efforts and promotion, made the entire nation aware of the Yangyangyang Brand Design Company.
More importantly, it highlighted the commitment and responsibility of Yangyangyang Brand Company.
The next day, sales of Yangyangyang's herbal tea and cosmetics soared.
