Chapter 665 Linglian Technology, Elder
Chengdu High-tech Zone, Yintai Center.
In a conspicuous location facing the street on the first floor, [Shimmer Coffee] is the first flagship store in Southwest China.
Huge floor-to-ceiling windows bring warm sunlight into the room, and the air is filled with the mixed aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans and buttered bread.
The design of the store continues the brand’s consistent, simple yet textured style.
Now it has become a popular check-in place for the entire CBD white-collar class.
"Mr. Xie!"
“Mr.
As his eyes moved around, he saw the man waiting in the window booth.
He is about forty years old, wearing a decent casual suit and a pair of rimless glasses, with an elegant and calm temperament.
He was not playing with his mobile phone, just quietly holding a glass of Americano.
He looked intently at the busy baristas and customers coming and going in the store, with a hint of professional scrutiny and thinking in his eyes.
With these details alone, Xie Shuyu’s first impression of him was greatly enhanced.
As she gets closer.
The middle-aged man stood up immediately, with a sincere and enthusiastic smile on his face, "Hello, Mr. Xie, I am Fang Zhiyuan from Linglian Technology. You are more beautiful and more elegant than in the photo. Sorry to bother you, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule. "
Xie Shuyu said generously: "Mr. Fang, you are too polite. I should be the one to say sorry for making you wait for so long."
As they spoke, the two sat opposite each other and exchanged polite greetings.
Xie Shuyu looked directly at the other party, his eyes calm and thoughtful.
As soon as the news that she wanted to optimize cold chain transportation in the southwest region was released, [Linglian Technology] was one of the first companies to request an appointment via email.
It was just because her schedule was too full that it was postponed until today.
This cutting-edge cold chain logistics company headquartered in Jiangcheng is also one of her key targets for inspection.
Most of the founding team came from Alibaba Cainiao Cold Chain and JD Logistics, and have both technology and practical backgrounds.
Combining the SaaS dispatching platform with the new energy cold chain fleet solves the problem of insufficient digitalization of the traditional cold chain and has outstanding advantages.
But the scale is still small and the coverage area is limited, which is a flaw.
However, in Xie Shuyu’s view, dealing with such “growth” companies is more flexible.
It can not only get technical dividends, but also make room for price.
After greetings.
Fang Zhiyuan did not make too much commercial boasts, but went straight to the point.
“Mr.
“We found that [Shimmer Coffee]’s biggest advantage lies in the ‘high quality’ and ‘freshness’ of its products. In particular, your bakery products and special milk drinks have extremely high requirements on temperature control and delivery timeliness of the supply chain. ”
“And this is exactly what we [Linglian Technology] are best at.”
As he spoke, he slid the screen to show their large-scale self-operated fleet consisting of 800 new energy cold chain vehicles, as well as the extremely professional AISaaS dispatching platform.
And finally provided a complete set of detailed cold chain logistics solutions specially customized for [Shimmer Coffee], the AISaaS dispatching system, which can match the optimal route in real time and reduce energy consumption by 20%;
Customized solutions for low-light products can shorten delivery time by 30% and reduce costs by 15%.
Hearing this, Xie Shuyu’s eyes, which always had a sense of scrutiny, ignited a real light of excitement.
She never expected that the other party would be so well prepared!
This level of attention is simply to treat [Shimmer Coffee] as a "model customer".
However, her face still maintained that slightly picky calmness.
Think for a moment.
Xie Shuyu said unhurriedly: "Mr. Fang, the plan is indeed done with great care and professionalism. However, cost will always be one of the core considerations of our chain brand."
When Fang Zhiyuan heard this, he smiled and said: "Mr. Xie, don't worry. If Weiguang is willing to sign a long-term exclusive strategic cooperation agreement with us. We are willing to reduce the current quotation by another 3%! And we promise to set up a dedicated service team for you to respond 24 hours a day." Hearing this, Xie Shuyu's heart skipped a beat.
This price has penetrated her psychological bottom line and is full of temptations that she cannot refuse.
She picked up the coffee, took a sip, and then continued: "I feel Mr. Fang's sincerity. However, changing the core supplier is not a trivial matter after all. I still need to discuss it with other investors of the company before I can give you a final answer."
Hearing the word "investor", Fang Zhiyuan's eyes flashed.
He took advantage of the situation and asked: "By the way, Mr. Xie, as far as I know, [Shimmer Coffee]'s Series A financing is very large and very successful. I don't know if it's convenient for me to reveal which institution is so farsighted?"
Xie Shuyu pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head, with an apologetic smile on his face: "The investor is an independent investor. The specific amount and valuation are not yet available to the public because of the confidentiality agreement signed."
After her words fell, her eyes were calm and she did not explain much. In fact, this 40 million Series A financing, together with the Tang and Song Dynasty behind it, has always been her most secret trump card.
So far, there has been no publicity.
This is entirely her strategic consideration.
She doesn’t want her competitors to know her capital reserves and expansion pace prematurely.
Moreover, this 40 million cash flow brings far more than the number itself.
With abundant capital and Shimmer Coffee’s excellent cash flow, she has successfully leveraged low-interest credit loans from banks that are several times that amount.
This is the real confidence that she dares to expand rapidly and open stores intensively.
Of course, the foundation of all this comes from the unconditional trust of the Tang and Song Dynasties.
Does not interfere with any of her decisions, nor does it require immediate changes to industrial and commercial information.
If it were any other investment institution, faced with such a radical and highly leveraged expansion plan, I am afraid that the gambling agreement and regulatory provisions would have been initiated long ago.
And all of these are her most important business secrets.
She hopes that after she has established a firm foothold in the southwest region and fully implemented the successful store model, she will then use a concentrated media marketing to ignite the brand's reputation.
Make the perfect preparation for the next Series B financing.
Hearing Xie Shuyu’s impeccable answer, Fang Zhiyuan pursed his lips.
He raised his head, looked into her eyes, and said seriously: "Mr. We have great development potential, and we very much hope to have a deeper connection with an excellent brand like yours.
So if there is a suitable opportunity in the future, I wonder if Mr. Xie can help introduce this investor of your company?
Being able to introduce top individual investors with strength and vision like him will not only inject strong impetus into the development of our [Linglian Technology], but also make our cooperation with [Shimmer Coffee] more intimate.
By then, everyone will be their own people. We at Linglian will naturally devote all our resources and go all out to protect [Shimmer Coffee]'s cold chain logistics system across the country. ”
Hearing these words, Xie Shuyu’s eyes moved instantly.
Finally understood the other party’s true intention of coming here this time.
No wonder she gave such huge discounts and support. It turned out to be for the capital behind her.
Thinking about it, [Shimmer Coffee]’s recent series of large-scale expansion moves regardless of cost have already attracted widespread attention in the industry, and will naturally attract companies like [Linglian Technology] that continue to invest.
Immediately, she immediately realized the tempting possibility behind this proposal.
If Tang and Song really invested in [Linglian Technology], then [Shimmer Coffee] would be equivalent to having half of a self-operated cold chain logistics system.
This will completely solve the biggest shortcoming in her heart.
However, this huge temptation was quickly replaced by the calmness of reality.
She actually doesn’t have much confidence in this.
Because unlike Shimmer Coffee, [Linglian Technology] requires a larger amount of funds, which can easily reach hundreds of millions.
The reason why Tang and Song invested in themselves in the first place was largely because of their "personal relationship", rather than because they were really interested in chain coffee, an industry with serious internal conflicts.
He has invested a total of 40 million for himself.
If I no longer know how to deal with land, let him invest in a multi-billion-dollar company with heavy assets for his own supply chain. They are not a couple. Even if they are a couple, asking for it so frequently will eventually wear away that precious relationship.
Before leaving, Fang Zhiyuan opened his briefcase.
He took out a thick business plan and handed it to her.
“Mr. ”
Xie Shuyu was silent for a moment, but finally took it and nodded, “Okay, Mr. Fang, I will convey it to you if I have the chance.”
Watched Fang Zhiyuan’s expectant back disappear at the door.
Xie Shuyu took out her mobile phone, found the number of the cooperation contact at [Sichuan Fresh Supply Chain], and dialed it directly.
We made an appointment for a visit and talk in the afternoon in a concise manner.
In any case, the cooperation with [Shu Xian] must be terminated immediately.
In comparison, this [Linglian Technology] is much better in terms of professionalism and sincerity.
And they both belong to the southwest region.
Biting her lip, Xie Shuyu took out her mobile phone, clicked on Tang Song’s WeChat, and left a message: "Have you decided when to come to Chengdu?"
After a while.
"Buzz buzz——"
[Tang Song: "I'm busy now, I'll call you later."]
Xie Shuyu simply replied "Okay", then put down the phone and let out a long breath.
Let’s start with this. Let him come to Chengdu this time mainly to cultivate feelings.
As for investment, she can only find opportunities to test it out in the future.
She had not had much contact with Tang and Song Dynasty, but it always felt weird that she would ask for money for others as soon as they met.
Two o’clock in the afternoon.
Lanfeng International Senior Apartment, Room 2002.
In the bedroom, the heavy curtains were tightly drawn.
Completely isolate the bright afternoon sunlight.
The air is warm.
The big bed in the master bedroom.
Lin Muxue slowly opened her eyes.
He glanced at Xiao Jing, who was still clinging to him, and pushed her aside angrily.
But he couldn’t exert much effort.
"Hmm."
Xiao Jing opened her misty eyes and subconsciously murmured: "World map."
There was something strange in her tone.
Lin Muxue was so frightened that she exclaimed and shivered violently.
Pushed Xiaojing away with force.
Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of "one by one".
He rolled off the bed and landed heavily on the soft plush carpet.
My face was red and hot, and I wanted to find a hole to crawl into immediately.
(D A C)
Damn it!
The secret that I had hidden for so long was discovered by Xiaojing just like that.
The main reason is that this yandere is so perverted!
Completely different from the simple and kind-hearted beautician, Xiaojing has too many tricks.
I dare not think about it! Don't dare think!
Lin Muxue covered her hot face, almost got up on her hands and knees, and ran on her knees to escape towards the bathroom.
The warm water drowned her.
Take a shower seriously.
Dry yourself and put on a clean silk nightgown.
I just walked out of the cloakroom.
"Ah!" Lin Muxue whispered and almost sat down on the ground.
Xiaojing, who was hiding behind the door, immediately jumped forward with laughter.
"Xiaoxue, have you finished taking a shower? From now on we-"
"You!" Lin Muxue pushed her away quickly, "Hurry up and take a shower! You are so dirty!"
After saying that, Lin Muxue rushed back to the bedroom.
There was Xiaojing’s crisp laughter behind her.
Return to the bed in the bedroom.
Lin Muxue sat there, still unable to restrain herself from recalling the previous scenes.
In fact, there is not much disgust in my heart, but some vague expectations.
She shook her head vigorously and forcibly retracted her increasingly dangerous thoughts.
At this time.
A steady sound of footsteps sounded.
Lin Muxue raised her head and saw the man walking towards this side.
I shivered subconsciously, a little scared.
Tang Song came to her side, gently held her waist, and kissed her on the cheek.
"How are you feeling?"
"Okay - much better." Lin Muxue licked her dry lips.
His eyes fell uncontrollably on the belt around his waist.
I couldn’t help but curse secretly: Damn pervert Xiao Jing! You have led me all to ruin!
Noticing her gaze, Tang Song chuckled and hugged her on his lap.
"What? Do you still want to continue playing games?"
This basketball game allowed him to finally verify the special effects of [Tang and Song Dynasty Belts].
This prop obtained in the [Control Annie] mission is indeed not just for decoration.
You can also urge fake celebrities to draw maps.
"No!"
Lin Muxue shook her head quickly, with a thick blush on her face.
Tang Song put his hand in, leaned to her ear, and whispered: "Xiaoxue, I have a task to give you next."
Lin Muxue bit her lip, her body trembling slightly, "You said..."
"Next, when I come back from Chengdu, I will go to France to inspect Tangjin Manor. You will have full authority to coordinate this cross-border trip and a series of matters involved."
This is the last step of Lin Muxue's training task [②Assistant Practice].
As long as it is completed, you can start the third task.
Now she has returned from London, has also experienced a cross-country business trip, and has the ability to complete the task.
Moreover, the mission rewards include [Item Gift Pack] and [Endurance +2], which he is looking forward to very much.
"Okay, okay, I will finish it seriously."
"Also." Tang Song adjusted his posture and continued: "Contact Handing Group for me to buy a residence in [Yunding Mansion]. The owner's name is Gao Mengting. Contact her later."
"Gao Mengting Yunding Mansion—" Lin Muxue murmured, feeling sour in her heart.
Yunding Mansion is the most popular real estate project in Yancheng recently. It is full of fourth-generation residences, and the first phase is all large flat floors. The target customers are high-net-worth individuals and entrepreneurs in the province.
As for Gao Mengting, she naturally knows it too.
To be precise, the first woman she knew in the Tang and Song Dynasties was the vice president of Songmei Clothing.
We were both working in Yunxi Building at the time, and we met each other frequently.
Tang and Song Dynasty’s generous gifts of mansions inevitably made her a little envious.
"What?" Tang Song's voice came, "Are you unhappy?"
"No, no." Lin Muxue shook her head quickly, "I will do it immediately, and get it done as soon as possible-ah!"
Tang Song took back his weird hand, looked into her panicked eyes, and suddenly said: "You can also choose a house, and I will give it to you."
"Huh?" Lin Muxue suddenly raised her head and looked at him in disbelief, "I can do it too?"
Tang Song breathed in the fragrant fragrance of her body and nodded, "Of course, and it's not limited to cities, you can choose whatever you want."
He knew what Xiaoxue was thinking.
The reason why I didn’t give her valuable money directly in the past was because I was afraid that this fake socialite would be too arrogant, her desires would expand, and she would do something wrong.
But now, Xiaoxue’s performance can be said to be the same as before.
Not only does he seldom show off his wealth online, he also works seriously and studies very hard.
It can be said that a fundamental change has occurred, "!!!"
Hearing Tang Song's words, Lin Muxue felt that the blood in her body was ignited.
His emotions were high and his eyes were wet.
There is no limit to the city, which means that even if she chooses Magic City, Xiangjiang, Shenzhen, or even London, it will be fine.
For her, money is always the most direct aphrodisiac.
She exclaimed, and like an octopus, she rushed over and hugged Tang Song.
At this time.
The sound of "ta da da da one" footsteps sounded from behind.
Xiao Jing walked out wrapped in a pure white bath towel.
"Brother Tang Song, Sister Xiaoxue, what interesting games are you playing? Take me with you, okay?"
(OO)
The scene instantly became chaotic.
Tang and Song’s breathing became rapid and heavy at some point.
A crisp system prompt suddenly sounded in my ears:
"Ding! The character interaction mission [Visit and Comfort] has taken effect."
p>
"Ding! Partial communication permissions of [Precision Queen-Ouyang Xianyue] have been unlocked."
"!" The system light curtain automatically expanded in front of his eyes.
【Character Center】In the center of the interface, an SSR card with an orange halo is shining.
Looking at the familiar yet slightly unfamiliar three-dimensional picture, Tang and Song felt instantly overwhelmed with emotion.
Finally unlocked.
That’s right, today is already the 28th, and there are only less than two days left before the appointment with her in Chengdu at the end of the month.
It is impossible to wait until the same day to unlock it. After all, there are still many things that need to be communicated in advance.
He was extremely impressed by Ouyang Xianyue.
Not only because of the other party’s noble background and graceful temperament, but also because of her special role in the game "The Male God Growth Plan".
The purpose of recruiting Ouyang Xianyue is to get shelter.
Her name means family, power, capital, and political network.
means the real "backer".
Her accompanying resources and the huge industrial empire of [Tang Yi Precision] are the foundation for his foothold in the country.
It can be said that the reason why companies such as [Smile Holdings], [Tangzong Entertainment], and [Deju Renhe] are able to go smoothly is because of her influence.
Even if these are eliminated.
He also has extremely deep feelings for this character who has devoted countless efforts in the game.
Of course, it is inevitable that there are ambitions deep in my heart.
Mainly...
Ouyang Xianyue is ten years older than him, and coupled with her unique status as a lady, she can already be regarded as an "elder".
How to get along with her in reality is the first difficulty he has to face.
