Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled

Chapter 128: Chapter 114: Develop and Develop

Chang Fu and Yang Qian still came on the day of his daughter's one-month celebration.Many relatives from Pingsheng's hometown attended Chen Xinyi's one-month celebration, and Pingsheng had arranged for them to stay at the Kempinski Hotel with which they had previously collaborated.

It had been over a month since he'd been to the company, and there were actually quite a few things to deal with.

Chang Fu was still planning to do his own live streaming, and he had recommended it to him several times, saying that live streaming was quite profitable.

Pingsheng looked into it but didn't have much interest for the time being.

Just like "Internet Plus," everyone knows it's a windfall, and they swarm into it.

Whether you can make money is mostly up to fate, with a small part relying on hard work.

His wife's cousin, who got into the shared bicycle business, was now in complete disarray.

Selling several houses from the family for the start-up wasn't enough; he had to borrow from everyone, and now, with a pile of bicycles bought but no one to ride them,

even if they did, money couldn't be collected, one just had to break the lock and lift it home, and it became their own.

You must not think that everyone walking outside has high integrity.

Not two months into the business, he's already on the verge of packing up.

Pingsheng didn't get involved; he steered clear of projects he couldn't understand.

"Old Chen, the competition in the supermarket industry is fierce. I think you'd better spend some time getting to know the live streaming industry," said Zhang Tao.

"Let's forget about that; as of now, I haven't seen anyone around who likes to watch live streams," replied Chen Pingsheng.

"If you're still interested in doing live streaming, I could invest a few million in you," said Pingsheng.

"You're on," Chang Fu responded.

Chang Fu couldn't be bothered to persuade him anymore, mainly because the live streaming industry wasn't big, relying on some little sister dancing provocatively or game anchors to attract traffic.

The field was too small, and it was normal for Chen Pingsheng, already of considerable worth, to look down on it.

"I meant it, if you two decide to stay in Capital City, apart from anything else, when you guys get married, you can pick any car worth a million," said Pingsheng.

"Brother, that's powerful," exclaimed Chang Fu.

Even though Chang Fu drove a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, mainly as a facade, he didn't actually have much money in his pocket.

He had only about a million in cash, and Yang Qian left with practically nothing after her divorce.

Fortunately, her decisiveness paid off, and her father's hotel was saved.

The two were starting over and didn't really want to go back to the heartbreaking place of Sha City.

Actually, Capital City was quite agreeable, where a brick might fall and hit too many leaders.

It's precisely because officials in Capital City keep a low profile that everyone else does too.

Those high-profile figures are usually the fake princes from some remote, small places.

"Call Taozi and ask them to come over," said Chen Pingsheng.

Pingsheng himself had quite a few things to handle. He had long known about the challenge of attracting customers to fresh markets, understanding that fruit was only half of it.

The other half consisted of everyday necessities like vegetables, chicken, duck, fish, and meat.

Truth be told, running a small vegetable business is the most exhausting and troublesome, with small vendors in the markets starting their day at one or two in the morning.

After sorting through the incoming vegetables, they begin setting them up for sale.

Moreover, the shelf-life of vegetables is extremely short; if not sold by the end of the day, by afternoon they're no longer fresh,

or they're left damaged and unsaleable after being picked over by customers.

Doing well across all fresh food categories requires someone who really understands the business and is willing to work extremely hard.

Every supermarket in the country wants to do well with vegetables and fruits, but 99% of them handle it terribly.

In the end, it's good enough if they don't drive customers away, let alone attract them.

A supermarket that sells fresh produce well is already halfway to success.

It's no exaggeration.

At least, from what he'd seen, there were very few that could do it well.

He aimed to create a large-scale, full-category marketplace, and the complexity was extreme.

Having money alone wasn't enough; mainly, there was a lot he didn't understand—things that only existed in theory.

That wasn't enough for him to run a large marketplace successfully, so he decided to spend half a year studying how to break down and re

It just meant recruiting a few more establishments.

Pingsheng still decided to simplify things and to explore step by step.

Once Tengsheng Fresh was well established, the traditional supermarket would be the next focus.

He would take it one step at a time towards building the super-sized marketplace.
