Becoming Rich with Daily Scavenging APP-Chapter 373: Delivering Food Orders with Qiang Ge
A few days later.
The two tomb robbers handed all sixteen volumes of manuscripts to Chen Yiyang.
The historian himself brought a few experts to the Imperial Capital to examine the manuscripts.
"10 copies of government orders, 11 imperial edicts, 80 official documents, totaling over 40,000 words.
The entire career of a regular Southern Song official, from entering politics, rising from the bottom to mid-levels, from local to central positions, including all the posts he held and his promotion path throughout his life, has been recorded.
This is incredibly rare."
A group of experts stayed at the hotel, admiring the manuscripts while exclaiming in awe.
Xu Weili began his political career as Assistant Office Supervisor in the fourteenth year of Jiading, and thirty-one years later, he died in office as Court Gentleman and Governor of Xinzhou.
During this period, all promotion documents, assessment forms, and the protection orders he wrote for friends and relatives were recorded.
These materials are more valuable than the Song Paper itself used to record them.
"I remember where I’ve seen this name before," said a Song History expert brought along by the historian, "When he was Governor of Xinzhou, the Song History, Mu Zi Cai’s biography recorded: Governor of Xinzhou Xu Weili implemented strict zoning policies, used harsh methods for tax collection, and it led to rebellion by starving people. Zi Cai reported to the emperor, which led to his demotion."
This means that while he was Governor of Xinzhou, due to his harsh policies, he caused a big rebellion among starving peasants, leading to punishment."
"No wonder his father was Xu Bangxian; he only ended up as Governor of Xinzhou." The historian understood why Xu Weili did not rise higher in his political career despite his father’s fame.
"Hey, experts." Chen Yiyang watched the experts’ focused discussion and said helplessly, "There are so many historical research institutes in the Imperial Capital, and any of their conditions are better than a hotel.
Why don’t we take these manuscripts to a research institute first, and after those two tomb robbers are caught, we’ll bring them back to Lin’an?"
"That won’t do."
The experts immediately shook their heads when they heard Chen Yiyang.
"If those in the Imperial Capital find out about these relics, we might not even be able to take them out smoothly. We might even lose the right to research them."
The Imperial Capital Museum’s reputation isn’t great when it comes to seizing artefacts.
Many local museums dread hearing about the Imperial Capital Museum planning to take relics for research.
The historian naturally wouldn’t let experts from the Imperial Capital circle know about these manuscripts before they’re transported back to Lin’an.
Chen Yiyang didn’t say much about this.
Although he picked up these manuscripts in a lucky buy, he certainly wouldn’t stash such rare and research-worthy items in his private collection.
So, Chen Yiyang decided to book hotel rooms for these experts, then went off to find Zhang Yuling himself.
A few days later, matters regarding the cooperation with Chen Yiyang were finally sorted out on Jindong’s side.
After both parties signed the contract, Liu Qiangxi proactively asked Chen Yiyang, "You mentioned earlier that you’d have a small request after signing the contract, what is it?"
"Join me for a few days delivering food to experience life," said Chen Yiyang earnestly.
"Ah?" Brother Qiang was a bit bewildered.
He never imagined that Chen Yiyang would make such a request.
Though he came from a poor background, his life had been improving since his university graduation, and he hadn’t done frontline work for many years.
"To coordinate with the advertisement," explained Chen Yiyang, "We’re partnering on instant retail and delivery; how can we quickly gain fame?"
"Got it." Liu Qiangxi immediately understood Chen Yiyang’s intent.
What advertisement could be more effective than top bosses personally riding around delivering food?
"Alright, no problem; set the time, and we’ll go do it. But let’s make sure that even if it’s a stunt, it’s a genuine one."
Liu Qiangxi told Chen Yiyang, "Real deliveries, real riding, except for bodyguards and filming crew, no others."
"No problem." Chen Yiyang nodded decisively.
He proposed this mainly to save on ad costs.
Now that they were partnering with Jindong, due to shareholding reasons, he must match Jindong’s investment.
So this advertising method could considerably save funds.
Liu Qiangxi didn’t fuss about it either.
After finalizing the advertisement approach, he immediately arranged with Chen Yiyang to begin deliveries once instant retail and Jindong’s delivery went online.
The collaboration between Chen Yiyang and Liu Qiangxi didn’t involve much initial promotion, mainly aiming to gather promotional material from the deliveries before making large investment in advertising.
However, it couldn’t be hidden from industry insiders.
Right after the contract was signed with Jindong, Wu Changxun called.
"Brother Wu, what makes you contact me now?" asked Chen Yiyang.
"I’m asking you if you’ve partnered with Jindong?"
"Yes."
"Then from the start, you definitely never planned to sell instant retail to Ugly Group, huh?"
"No." Chen Yiyang wouldn’t admit it. He argued, "I initially planned to sell, but since Ali also joined the bidding, with both sides raising terms higher and higher, I grew confident about the project’s prospects, so I decided to work on it myself."
"You, you, I didn’t expect you’d slip away this time." Wu Changxun was somewhat speechless.
But Ugly Group is independently operated, and Tengxu is just the major shareholder.
Thus, Chen Yiyang’s actions didn’t hurt Tengxu.
Wu Changxun’s call basically was just to account for Ugly Group’s side.
Now hearing this, he couldn’t be bothered anymore.
"By the way," Wu Changxun recalled something else, so he asked Chen Yiyang, "We have made progress in Thailand. Do you have time, so I can arrange for someone to brief you?"
"No time these days," admitted Chen Yiyang.
"What are you busy with lately?" asked a curious Wu Changxun.
"I and Liu Qiangxi, President Liu, need to deliver food together these days. After that, I’d have time; we can arrange it then."
"Crazy," muttered Wu Changxun, thinking Chen Yiyang was joking, and hung up.
"Brother Qiang," said Chen Yiyang, having hung up the call with Wu Changxun and looking at Liu Qiangxi ahead of him while riding the electric scooter, "How many orders do you still have?"
"Two more, but they’re together, I can deliver them together."
"I just accepted another order," Chen Yiyang told Liu Qiangxi, "How about you help deliver my previous order?"
"Okay." Liu Qiangxi took over the delivery bag from Chen Yiyang and nodded in agreement.
