Chapter 182: Zhang Yang’s Frenzy (Part 1)

Zhang Yang caused a huge scene, his face red and his neck thick with anger.

Cheng Ming only retorted but, surprisingly, didn’t dare to take any physical action.

Because he was well aware.

These days, many young people were heavily influenced by gangster movies, acting without restraint in fights.

Just a few days ago, the newspapers had reported that a somewhat famous gangster was stabbed into a hornet’s nest by a few young men, so he dared not act rashly in the moment.

“Waste!”

“Trash!”

“You’ve paid the money, right? Great, go ahead, let’s see how I deal with you!”

“Lan Meng, remember Brother Cheng’s words!”

“This time I’m telling you explicitly, the price for all your goods will be higher than last time. I’ll make sure your 200,000 goes to waste, that you regret occupying that prime location to the point of crying and begging me to spare you!”

Having said that,

Cheng Ming left arrogantly with his people.

He was true to his word, immediately calling Old Huang to remind him to make things difficult for Sister Lan using the old methods once her business started.

Sister Lan was squatting on the ground, crying inconsolably.

She hated Cheng Ming to death and was more worried about Zhao Qingfeng’s 200,000 going down the drain.

A few kind-hearted merchants softened their hearts and came forward to offer advice.

“There are four major agents in the provincial city. Although Old Huang has good relations with them, it’s not like there’s no chance to plead your case.”

“I think Old Gao is a decent person. I always get my goods from him.”

“Don’t bother asking Old Liu, he’s very close to Old Huang.”

“Maybe you could try Brother Zhao, Zhao Guangsheng. He’s always been good to us merchants, but the key issue is, Guangsheng is the smallest of the four agents. If Old Huang really wants to target you, he might not dare to help. After all, business must go on, sigh, it’s really a difficult situation, why did you have to offend Cheng Ming…”

Zhao Qingfeng had heard of these four agents before.

Little Kun had briefly mentioned them, just not in much detail.

Zhao Qingfeng thought for a moment and, using lunch as an excuse, invited the merchant who introduced Zhao Guangsheng to a restaurant.

The kind-hearted sister gave a simple introduction, saying that Zhao Guangsheng was from the south and had been doing business in the provincial city for three or four years. As an outsider, he faced a lot of discrimination but managed to establish a foundation of trust among the merchants with sincerity, barely becoming one of the four major dealers.

But recently,

Old Huang, ranking first, after taking over several smaller distributors, also started targeting Zhao Guangsheng’s business.

Whether it’s true or not,

everything was just rumors.

After hearing this, Sister Lan wiped her tears and asked Zhao Qingfeng, “Little Feng, we have his contact now, should we try to plead with him tonight?”

Little Kun had the same idea.

If all else fails, they could spend some money to smooth things over, at least to get past the immediate crisis.

Zhao Qingfeng shook his head, “I understand. If that’s the case, my personal integrity is still decent, worth helping out. Let’s leave it at that for now. We still have some time before the opening, right? Once everything on my end is settled, I’ll invite him to my company for a discussion. If the talk goes well, I can offer him a chance to get rich and become the number one distributor in the provincial city.”

His words were as shocking as thunder.

Sister Lan and Little Kun were stunned, and Zhang Yang, not understanding, just stared at Sister Lan.

The kind-hearted sister was also surprised, “Young man, aren’t you getting it backward? You’re asking for his help, yet you want him to come to your company for talks? And what capability do you have to make Brother Zhao the number one distributor in the provincial city? This is a joke, right? Never mind, I tried to help you out of goodwill, but you’re just full of hot air. I’m leaving, good luck to you.”

The kind-hearted sister left in a huff.

Sister Lan became even more worried, asking in unison with Little Kun, “Little Feng, what exactly are you planning?”

Actually, it was quite simple.

The purpose of Zhao Qingfeng studying social software was to capture a large user base and gain massive traffic.

Besides the game hacks and internet café management systems, he also needed to pre-install his own software programs on the new computers sold by the merchants.

The number of new computers was enormous, and addressing the issue from the root was the best way to encourage user habits.

Because every new computer sold came with applications like QQ and Lianzhong Chess pre-installed, a crucial step.

Thus, Zhao Qingfeng planned to follow suit, promoting on a wide scale.

Although initially, pre-installing Lingfeng Technology’s navigation website and social software on computers would incur some costs,

don’t forget,

the more traffic the navigation site gets, the more advertising revenue it generates. The wider the user base for the social software, the more opportunities for extensive future expansion.

Not afraid to spend money.

There’s no gain without investment.
