Chapter 234: Chapter 234 Seeking Cooperation_1

"Mr. Shen, the current general manager of Anmei Insurance’s Hai City Branch Office, Chen Yuanfu, is your wife’s uncle, isn’t he?" Ge Rui said with a chuckle.

The big deal with the Ao City Chamber of Commerce was secured by Chen Yuanfu.

Originally, Chen Yuanfu told headquarters that there was no chance of getting it.

Unexpectedly, he managed to secure it later on.

It was only after Ge Rui personally inquired that he found out what had happened.

It turned out that it was Chen Yuanfu’s son-in-law who had helped to secure the deal.

Chen Yuanfu’s son-in-law has an extraordinary relationship with Zhou Chengyu, the son of the chairman of the Ao City Chamber of Commerce.

After learning about this, Ge Rui began to value Chen Yuanfu even more.

Not only did he issue the commission for that deal at the fastest speed, but he also promoted Chen Yuanfu to the position of general manager as quickly as possible.

Of course, all these were well-deserved rewards for Chen Yuanfu securing the big deal.

Knowing that Shen Dong lived in this community, he had been wanting to meet Shen Dong for a long time.

He wanted to meet, but there had been no opportunity.

This time, at the homeowners’ meeting, he finally got his chance.

"Yes," Shen Dong nodded slightly.

"Mr. Chen is very capable. We have a deputy general manager position at our headquarters that I think would suit him well. I plan to promote him to this position. What do you think?" Ge Rui said with a smile.

The headquarters of Anmei Insurance is also located in Hai City.

A deputy general manager at the headquarters holds much more weight than a general manager at a branch office.

"That will depend on my uncle’s wishes, but in any case, I will thank you on his behalf in advance," Shen Dong said with a smile.

He knew that Ge Rui was making a proactive gesture of goodwill.

In any case, being able to promote his uncle was a good thing for his uncle.

Although his uncle was going to retire in a few years, being promoted to deputy general manager at headquarters, compared to being a general manager at a branch office, meant a different level of treatment, and even the retirement salary would be significantly higher.

Many homeowners had taken notice of Shen Dong’s group.

Everyone knew about Zhang Xuansong, Cheng Dejun, and Ge Rui, as these three had attended last year’s homeowners’ meeting.

All eyes turned to Shen Dong, who was a new face.

"Who is that?"

"Don’t you know? He’s the new homeowner who bought the large flat last year."

"I heard his name is Shen Dong. He’s the boss of Dongyan Media and Shuidilao."

"Sss... I didn’t expect such a big shot to move into our community."

"They say the boss of Dongyan Media and Shuidilao is very young. I didn’t expect him to be this young."

"After they finish talking, we must go and introduce ourselves."

"Right, since we’re all in the same community, we definitely need to get to know each other."

"Don’t rush. When it’s time for the meal, just go over and make a toast," someone suggested.

There was a buzz of conversation among the crowd.

"Old Ding, you said your game studio is out of money and can’t pull in investment; you might try asking Mr. Shen for help. His Dongyan Media is a cash cow," someone said to a slightly portly middle-aged man nearby.

The slightly portly middle-aged man was named Ding Ronghao and owned a game studio.

At first, he made his game studio quite successful and gained some fame in the industry.

Later, he joined Extraordinary Games Company with his team.

After joining, he led his team to develop several hit games that made a fortune for Extraordinary Games Company and even helped it go public.

He had made a decent sum of money and was living a life that many envied, having bought a house in a high-end residential complex like Century Garden.

He had also married a beautiful wife and had children; life was indeed very blissful.

But the happiness did not last long.

After going public, Extraordinary Games followed the same old path of many companies; they stopped focusing on game development and started investing in other unfamiliar industries, seeking to diversify across different sectors.

In the end, they suffered heavy losses, and there was even a risk of delisting.

Since Extraordinary Games Company was out of money, they could no longer support the development of new games by his team.

With no other choice, Ding Ronghao considered leaving Extraordinary Games Company and starting his own business with his team.

But game development is very costly.

He did not have enough money himself to support the team in developing games.

Today, his main purpose in attending the homeowners’ meeting was to seek investment from other homeowners.

But after approaching many homeowners, they either said they had no money or they were not interested.

Most of the homeowners in Century Garden had a net worth of several hundred million, and they were not too keen on investing in the gaming industry, which requires heavy investment and carries significant risk.

And the few wealthy homeowners were not interested in investing in games.

To put it accurately, they were afraid of losses and dared not invest.

Upon hearing his neighbor’s words, Ding Ronghao was somewhat intrigued.

Young people generally play games, and Shen Dong, a young man like him, might be interested in the gaming industry.

...

Over to Shen Dong’s side.

"Mr. Shen, my Yonghui Supermarket wants to partner with your Dongyan Media. What do you think?" Zhang Xuansong asked.

"Mr. Zhang, what kind of partnership do you have in mind?" Shen Dong’s eyes sparkled.

"It’s about collaborating on live-stream sales," Zhang Xuansong said with a smile.

"Yonghui Supermarket has been focused on physical store sales, and now you want to venture into online sales?" Shen Dong inquired.

"Yes, physical stores are not doing very well nowadays, as many young people prefer to shop online."

"I’m not afraid to admit that, in the past few years, the turnover of our Yonghui Supermarket has been declining year by year."

"Now is the era of the Internet. If we don’t get into online sales, we really can’t survive."

"Your Dongyan Guild is the number one guild on Doule, and it has an excellent reputation. I’ve been paying attention and was already thinking of partnering with you."

"The last time Jiamei Company had a live-stream sales event, they achieved over two hundred million in sales, which convinced me to collaborate with you."

"I think we can do this: organize a dedicated live-stream event for Yonghui Supermarket every week."

"This would be a win-win cooperation for both of us, what do you think?"

Zhang Xuansong shared his thoughts.

"Mr. Zhang, I would certainly welcome a partnership with your Yonghui Supermarket," Shen Dong said with a smile.

Yonghui Supermarket’s fame was significant, and collaborating on a live-stream sales event would greatly help to boost the reputation of Dongyan Guild as well.

This would mean that Yonghui Supermarket recognized them.

"However, I have two conditions," Shen Dong paused for a moment before continuing.

"Go ahead," urged Zhang Xuansong.

"Your Yonghui Supermarket can only work with our Dongyan Guild for live-stream sales on the Doule platform and cannot partner with other guilds. As for other platforms, you’re free to do as you please," Shen Dong stated.

"No problem," Zhang Xuansong nodded without hesitation.

On the Doule Platform, he had already chosen Dongyan Guild and did not consider collaborating with other guilds.

"The second condition is that the products you supply must be of guaranteed quality, or else it could affect the reputation of our Dongyan Guild. If there is a large batch of quality issues, you will need to compensate our Dongyan Guild with a substantial breach of contract fee. We can discuss the specifics. We make this same demand of other brands that launch their products with our guild," Shen Dong said earnestly.
