Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Future Prospects! Placement! Arrangements
The 2 million was quickly distributed.
Everyone who came with Lu Feng was all smiles.
Who wouldn’t be happy holding 100,000 in cash?
After the money was distributed, Lu Feng said to Yang Ming, "Cousin, now that the deal with Master Kai is successfully completed, we should think about what comes next."
Yang Ming immediately focused and asked, "Xiaofeng, what are your plans?"
Chen Bo subconsciously looked toward Lu Feng.
’He had to hold on tight now that he’d found such a powerful backer. And if Young Master Feng was asking, he definitely had something in mind.’
Lu Feng thought for a moment and said, "Cousin, I plan on expanding to Tianzhou City. Youcheng is too small, after all."
Indeed, Youcheng was just a small county town. A place like that was too restrictive. It was fine for opening a teahouse or a tea factory, but that was it.
’Once Cheng Yaoyao finishes restoring the electromagnetic rice cooker technology, I’ll definitely have to open an electronics company.’
’Judging by the performance of the electromagnetic rice cooker from the game world, it’s guaranteed to be a huge seller. The demand for factory output will be massive.’
’More importantly, there will definitely be other technologies from the game world in the future.’
A place like Youcheng simply couldn’t meet that kind of demand.
So, finding a bigger place to set up shop was a must.
’Tianzhou City, as the capital of Min Province, is the perfect choice.’
Hearing Lu Feng’s words, Yang Ming immediately said, "Xiaofeng, it’s your call. Just tell us what you need."
Lu Feng nodded. "I was thinking about it last night, and I do have a few things for everyone to handle. I’ve already opened a teahouse in Youcheng, but I plan to open an even bigger Tea City here in Tianzhou. The tea factory has started producing Qingfeng Tea, so once we have the Tea City, it’ll be a place for us to gather and drink tea, and we can also sell our own Qingfeng Tea."
"We can have Da Fei come to Tianzhou City to take charge of it. Cousin, you, Da Fei, and the others can invest and own a stake as well."
He wasn’t just trying to make money now; his intention to help his cousin and the others gradually go legit hadn’t changed.
For a business like the Tea City, with Qingfeng Tea guaranteeing profits, he didn’t mind letting his cousin and the others buy in.
"Okay," Yang Ming nodded.
Lu Feng looked at Chen Bo, who was hesitating off to the side, and said with a smile, "Chen Bo, if you want to invest and take a share in the Tea City, you’re welcome to as well."
Hearing this, Chen Bo’s face lit up with joy. "Thank you, Young Master Feng!"
’How could he not thank him?’
’This meant Young Master Feng was starting to accept him.’
’Before this, compared to men like Yang Ming, Ah Lin, and Ah Pao, he was just an outsider to Young Master Feng, even with his own crew.’
Lu Feng continued, "Also, I’m planning to open a large entertainment center in Tianzhou City. I’ll put up the bulk of the capital, but anyone who wants to invest for a stake can buy in."
’A Tea City alone can’t provide jobs for all these guys. Opening a large entertainment center is the best solution.’
’The security team for the entertainment center alone could employ a lot of them. If they invest a little on top of drawing a salary, they can make good money.’
’And in the future, we can open more entertainment centers and grow the business. Even with a small stake, they’ll make a lot of money.’
Lu Feng’s words immediately piqued the interest of Ah Lin, Ah Pao, and the others.
After all, opening a large entertainment center in a place like Tianzhou City was much more high-class than messing around with something like the Ultimate Bar in Youcheng. It felt far more prestigious.
The key was that they could invest in this entertainment center themselves. It would be their own place, which made all the difference.
Lu Feng asked, "Cousin, who do you think would be best to take charge of this entertainment center? There will be a lot to do, like finding a location and handling the paperwork."
Yang Ming said without hesitation, "Let Ah Pao handle it. He used to work for a boss and managed the scene at a bar, the one that came before the Ultimate Bar. He only left because that boss cashed out."
"For nightlife businesses, the most important things are creating the right atmosphere and having girls to drink with customers. As long as we get the entertainment center up and running, Ah Pao has the connections for that."
Lu Feng agreed. "Okay, then I’ll leave the entertainment center to Brother Pao."
Hearing this, Ah Pao was instantly thrilled. "Xiaofeng, don’t you worry. I’ll definitely get this done right for you."
Lu Feng nodded and continued, "Besides the Tea City and the entertainment center, there are two more things. One is to look into any electronics companies that are for sale, preferably a factory that produces rice cookers. I want to buy it."
These words stunned everyone for a moment.
To be honest, opening a Tea City or an entertainment center was understandable to them. But buying an electronics company? That was a huge leap.
But in the current situation, no one was likely to question whatever Lu Feng did.
’Of course, Lu Feng had his own reasons. After all, once Cheng Yaoyao finished perfecting the electromagnetic rice cooker technology, it would have to be mass-produced.’
’Buying a factory that already produces rice cookers would be the fastest way to retool the production lines and start manufacturing the electromagnetic rice cookers from the game world.’
’Given the performance of the electromagnetic rice cooker from the game world, this was bound to be a massive business.’
’He had no intention of letting his cousin and the others invest in this business. It wouldn’t be appropriate.’
’Of course, he could still make arrangements for the right people to run it.’
So, Lu Feng looked at Ah Lin and said, "Brother Lin, I remember your family used to run an appliance store, and you managed it. You’ve had contact with electronics factories too. I need you to run point on this and check it out."
"...?!" Ah Lin was taken aback. He immediately said, "My family just had a small appliance shop back in Youcheng. The factories I dealt with were nothing special, and besides... I already ran that shop into the ground."
As he spoke, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
’When they first opened the store, his family was full of ideals and ambition. But the failure was just as complete.’
Lu Feng smiled. "Well, you still have some experience. Brother Lin, I’ll have to trouble you with this."
’When the product is good enough, business acumen is secondary. Trust is what’s key.’
’And the electromagnetic rice cooker from the game world would absolutely crush any real-world competitor. That’s why finding someone trustworthy to watch over the company was so important.’
’Brother Lin was definitely someone he could trust.’
Seeing that Lu Feng had put it that way, Ah Lin promised, "Alright, I’ll do my best!"
"Brother Lin," Lu Feng added, "while you’re looking into electronics companies, help me check out the beauty and makeup salon scene as well."
"Yeah, got it." Ah Lin nodded immediately. ’He guessed this was probably for Yang Qingxue.’
’She was a really great girl.’
Indeed, Lu Feng wanted to open a beauty and makeup salon for Yang Qingxue and let her be the boss.
It had always been Yang Qingxue’s dream to save enough money, finish her apprenticeship, and open a small beauty and makeup salon. She had even once said she would be the boss and support him in the future.
Moreover, during his most difficult times, Yang Qingxue had stuck by him and was even willing to give him the 50,000 she had worked so hard to save.
’That’s why he planned to open a larger beauty and makeup salon for Yang Qingxue in Tianzhou City.’
And so, Ah Pao and Ah Lin stayed behind in Tianzhou City to handle the entertainment center and the electronics company.
Yang Ming and Chen Bo both left a few men to help Ah Pao with the entertainment center, then returned to Youcheng with Lu Feng and the others.
After all, the people one had to deal with in the nightlife business were always more complicated.
