Chapter 973: Chapter 343: All East-Facing Units from Floors 10 to 20 Are Mine

Yang Chen arrived at the Tang Pavilion, and all the CEOs were already present.

The manager led everyone to the private room.

The main purpose of Yang Chen hosting this dinner was actually only one: to kick the All-Star Group out of the Mercedes system.

So, after dinner, Yang Chen specifically kept the CEOs of Mercedes-Benz Dragon Country and Beijing Benz to chat over some private matters.

"In the past, Mercedes had to rely on some strong sales channels to penetrate the Dragon Country market. But now, all automobile brands are focusing on online sales, greatly reducing channel costs. Mercedes should also keep pace with the times, cut down on some physical channels, and engage more in online channels. I believe Beijing Benz, along with local agents, can fully handle the physical channels, while the channels controlled by All-Star Group should be converted to online sales. What do you two think?" Yang Chen said very bluntly.

The suggestion was excellent, not only was Mercedes-Benz Dragon Country willing, Beijing Benz was also on board.

From now on, Mercedes could autonomously control its sales channels, reducing the number of channel vendors, which would increase the company’s profit and enhance price competitiveness.

The 40% market share All-Star Group would yield certainly couldn’t be exhausted by online sales alone, so Beijing Benz could also share in the pie.

The problem is that All-Star Group has controlled Mercedes’ sales channels for almost 60 years. Suddenly kicking them out seems somewhat harsh, and success isn’t guaranteed.

Yang Chen smiled and said, "If you want to make money, don’t think about such things. All-Star Group’s physical channels have fallen behind in this age of the internet and short videos. Look at how well those new energy vehicle brands are using internet sales. All-Star Group evidently believes that Mercedes’ success today is due to their channels, hence they exhibit an arrogance and pride openly and discreetly. We must let them know, without Mercedes, All-Star Group would go bankrupt. But without All-Star Group, Mercedes would only face short-term pain and continue to grow long-term. Go back and think about it carefully. Report to your respective parent company chairmen and have them come talk to me."

The two nodded, stood up, and bade farewell to Yang Chen.

As long as Mercedes’ sales channels could be taken from All-Star Group, All-Star Group would be set for gradual decline.

Leaving the Tang Pavilion, Yang Chen decided to take a look at Yida Mansion.

The east-facing units on floors 10-20 are all Yang Chen’s, so he ought to take a good look at the properties.

Whether to rent or sell them in the future, Yang Chen wanted to have some idea.

Following the principle of frugality, Yang Chen tried to find if there were any ride-sharing orders to Yida Mansion; if there were, he’d seize one to earn some gas money.

Yida Mansion indeed is a popular community; several orders had destinations there.

Yang Chen randomly chose a passenger and navigated to pick him up.

This was a male passenger, holding a bouquet of flowers, with a blissful smile on his face, clearly going to confess his love to someone dear.

Yang Chen wanted to share in his joy, so he asked with a smile, "Bro, are you going to confess?"

The male passenger nodded eagerly and said, "Yes! I’m going to confess to my goddess. So, you need to hurry up and arrive at the community entrance before she gets off work."

Yang Chen said, "Okay."

Yang Chen sped up and safely got him to the destination.

The passenger got out of the car and walked to the community entrance, Yang Chen followed closely.

"High-end community, without an access card you can’t enter, and cars without registration can’t enter unless accompanied by a homeowner who signs to let you in," a security guard advised.

The male passenger obviously didn’t live here, so he hurriedly pleaded with several security guards, anxiously handing them cigarettes.

Sigh...

Just as expected, everywhere the same, property security guards are the masters.

Yang Chen honked twice and gestured for the passenger to get back in the car.

The security guard asked, "Is this a ride-sharing service? No entry allowed, please leave!"

Yang Chen replied, "I’m a homeowner. I just got my property certificate today and came to check out my house. The east-facing units on floors 10-20 are all mine."

As he spoke, Yang Chen also pulled out a stack of property certificates to confirm with the security guards.

"My goodness, it’s true! There are eleven property certificates in total."

"Whoa, all are big east-facing units, costing over a hundred million."

"Driving a ride-sharing service can make this much money? You can actually buy eleven apartments here! That’s unbelievable."

"Old Zhang, quickly return them, let him inside. We definitely shouldn’t offend a homeowner like him. It’s not worth the risk for a few thousand a month."

...

The gatekeeper quickly returned Yang Chen’s property certificates and hurriedly bowed in respect, saying, "Welcome home, homeowner, we will register your vehicle’s plate number right away."

Yang Chen nodded and said, "He’s with me, can he come in?"

Gatekeeper: "Yes, yes, you both can enter."

The male passenger hurriedly got back in the car, frantically offering Yang Chen a cigarette and said, "Bro, thank you! It’s really surprising, driving a ride-sharing service is so prosperous that you managed to buy eleven apartments here. I’ve worked hard for nearly ten years and haven’t even saved enough for a down payment. Compared to you, I really feel inadequate."

Yang Chen: "I received a lot of help from my family. Just driving a ride-sharing service certainly wouldn’t earn me this much, don’t think like that."

The male passenger nodded and said, "Having a wealthy family is also your skill, you were born privileged."

"Haha..." the two laughed.

Yang Chen drove into the underground parking garage and found his parking spot to park the car.

At that moment, a fully armored woman got out of a nearby Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

Why say she is fully armored?
