Becoming Rich with Daily Scavenging APP-Chapter 350: Farewell, Zheng Lu

The next morning, President Meihe called Chen Yiyang to inform him that she wouldn’t be able to go to Osaka in the next few days.

"No worries, I’m planning to leave Japan first anyway and come back to Osaka once the crowds at the World Expo have thinned out."

After saying this, Chen Yiyang asked President Meihe with concern.

"You haven’t encountered any trouble over there, have you? If there’s anything I can help with, just let me know."

"No trouble, just a small employee at the company who seems a bit desperate, running to the farmers’ warehouse every day after work to steal rice.

Turns out the farmer installed a GPS tracker in the rice bags and caught him, and now I have to deal with this matter with the local government."

Uh.

Chen Yiyang thought about the recent high prices of rice in Japan and figured this wasn’t too outrageous.

The Japan Agricultural Association lost money in stocks and had to make it back through rice sales.

It’s pretty normal for someone who can’t afford rice to steal a couple of bags.

It’s a bit more normal than South Korea’s six-dollar meal box at the Paralympics, which only had kimchi and no meat.

After finishing the call with President Meihe, Chen Yiyang found little Marco and asked if he would like to visit Huaxia first.

Little Marco said he had to meet some business partners in Japan over the next few days, but they agreed he would visit Huaxia in two weeks.

Seeing this, Chen Yiyang decided to return to Lin’an with his accountant first.

Today’s intelligence, a motorcyclist kicked out of the company: Legendary motorcyclist Zhang Bing was kicked out of the company he founded, and now is a good time to invest in them.

Contact information for related individuals is on the second page.

Back in Lin’an, Chen Yiyang glanced at today’s lucrative information and realized it was regarding talent acquisition, which immediately caught his attention.

So far, the personnel acquisitions listed in the valuable information have been quite successful.

Although Li Dingjun seemed insignificant at the beginning, he has now become a reliable subordinate.

Later, there was Wang Fengyi, who reportedly nearly turned around Fei Peng Automobile.

But this time, the talent to be acquired is a motorcyclist?

Chen Yiyang had never been involved in this field.

The only connection he had with motorcycles was knowing the owner of Aiya Electric Vehicle.

But that was electric motorcycles.

So Chen Yiyang didn’t rush to make a call but asked his team to investigate this Zhang Bing.

After arranging for his assistant to take care of it, another assistant walked in.

"Boss, someone claiming to be your friend is outside the company."

"Who is it?" Chen Yiyang asked, disinterested.

Typically, people who know him would call ahead or contact him through social media if they wanted to see him at the company.

Who would directly show up at the private company’s entrance and ask the receptionist?

The assistant revealed the visitor’s identity, "It’s Mr. Zheng Lu, the former president of Kuxing Coffee."

"It’s him." Upon hearing the name, Chen Yiyang immediately told his assistant, "Let him come to the reception room; I’ll be there shortly."

Chen Yiyang had Zheng Lu’s WeChat and phone number.

Although he didn’t know why Zheng Lu showed up unannounced, Chen Yiyang decided to welcome him warmly.

After all, the shares that his brother Zheng Lu initially sold to him for billions have increased tenfold in value with Kuxing Coffee’s revival.

Based on the company’s internal calculations, if things develop this way, Kuxing Coffee’s market value could bring Chen Yiyang nearly a hundred times in returns.

Out of both emotion and reason, Chen Yiyang had to warmly welcome Zheng Lu.

"Mr. Zheng, long time no see." As Chen Yiyang headed to the reception room, Zheng Lu was just entering.

Chen Yiyang immediately gave Zheng Lu a warm handshake.

"Yes, long time no see." Zheng Lu was equally enthusiastic.

After exchanging pleasantries, Zheng Lu said, "Mr. Chen, I must congratulate you. Kuxing Coffee has clearly been revived, and its market value keeps rising. You’ve made a fortune."

"Just luck, just luck," Chen Yiyang quickly said. "If it weren’t for the short-sellers causing trouble back then and Gundam Capital adding fuel to the fire, Kuxing Coffee would still be under your leadership, and its revival would have been faster."

"That’s fate. I just didn’t have the luck." Zheng Lu now saw things quite objectively.

"Indeed, you were just unfortunate then, but your ability is undeniable.

Do you have any good entrepreneurial projects now? If you do, why not let me join you? Or, if you don’t want to start something new, you can return to Kuxing; I’ll sell you back some shares, and you’ll still be the president of Kuxing."

"No, I’ll pass on returning to Kuxing." Zheng Lu directly declined. "I don’t want to deal with the people from Gundam Capital again. When the investment was first made, everything was good, but as soon as a problem arose, they immediately tried to seize the company."

"That’s a shame." Chen Yiyang didn’t genuinely want Zheng Lu to return to Kuxing.

With his continuous investment and splitting Kuxing’s new milk coffee brand into a subsidiary, his control over Kuxing has become quite strong, and most of Kuxing’s profits have landed in his hands.

In this situation, there was no way Chen Yiyang would let the former founder return.

"This time, I’m here for another matter," Zheng Lu said. "I want to start another coffee brand. The name is already decided, it’ll be called Redi."

"You’re going into coffee again?"

"Yes," Zheng Lu replied. "I feel the coffee market isn’t yet saturated. Kuxing has paved the way, but there are too few followers.

Moreover, Kuxing’s profits are still too high. This time with Redi Coffee, I plan to cut down profits to about half of Kuxing’s, and then make money through the number of stores and customer volume."

"Well," Chen Yiyang was at a loss for words.

Now that Kuxing finally escaped the price wars and started making money.

If Redi Coffee emerges, Kuxing might have to issue 9.9-dollar discount coupons again.

He initially hoped to earn more, but who knew his brother Zheng Lu was ready to stir up the coffee industry again.

"I’m a bit puzzled," Chen Yiyang said directly. "You know I’m currently Kuxing’s owner. Yet here you are, telling me about this. Are you suggesting I invest in you and compete against myself?" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Yes, I’m here seeking investment from you," Zheng Lu clarified. "Kuxing is pursuing a milk coffee route, but Redi plans not to go down that path. We’re looking to focus on the breakfast market."

"Tell me more," Chen Yiyang inquired directly.

Being Kuxing’s owner, if Zheng Lu truly had plans to start again in the coffee field, he shouldn’t be sharing his ideas with him.

But Zheng Lu didn’t mind and went straight into an explanation.
