Chapter 102: 0101 Great Fortune, the Whole City Eats Chicken! (Subscription requested)

Having just returned from a trip to Greater Russia, Chen Jue wasn't in a particularly playful mood.

After spending a day at the Manzhouli timber exchange fair, collecting business cards and letters of intent from a bunch of timber merchants, he left the follow-up of these clients to the unscrupulous villagers who were running around taking care of things for him.

Whether it was creating groups or private chats, as long as they could invite these timber merchants to select wood on-site, then this first batch of 90,000 cubic meters of logs would likely sell as smoothly as soybeans.

With those unscrupulous villagers' hundreds of schemes and off-the-charts business acumen, dealing with these small orders was naturally a piece of cake.

After all, those logs ripened with MC [bone meal] were of a quality that far surpassed those artificially planted economic forests. Moreover, there was a shipping-to-factory discount, such a large concession would definitely cause a stir in the profit-driven timber merchant circles.

As for the number of 90,000 cubic meters, it seemed like a lot, but in reality, when spread across China, the world's number one consumer market, it barely made a ripple.

You should know that China's timber consumption, including logs, planks, particleboard, fiberboard, and other categories, is close to 500 million cubic meters per year.

The annual import of timber alone is around 70 million cubic meters, throwing in 90,000 cubic meters of logs only accounts for 1.2‰, not even making a ripple.

"It's still faster to make money with bulk commodity trading."

"As long as there are legal procedures and reasonable cover, there's definitely a lot to be gained from timber imports!"

Chen Jue was secretly delighted. He could already foresee a large wave of cash flow arriving in the coming period, which would greatly alleviate the financial pressure on his books.

......

After staying overnight at a hotel in Manzhouli, Chen Jue took a car to Hulunbuir early the next morning, and then transferred planes to return to Wen City.

However, it was also because of this back-and-forth travel that Chen Jue had the idea of buying his own private plane.

"Wen City is still lagging behind in development after all."

"In the past, the boss of Jun Yao Group was bold enough to open the first civil aviation passenger flight route in China. Now, there are no direct flights to popular tourist cities like Hulunbuir." Chen Jue sighed in his heart.

After getting off the plane and feeling the familiar heat in the air, Chen Jue almost thought he had gone to the wrong place when he saw the crowded Longwan Airport in Wen City!

Because the last time he flew to the Northeast, he left from this Longwan Airport.

At that time, affected by the summer heat, the airport traffic was very deserted.

Now, looking at the busy airlines and the crowded airport exit, the traffic has increased by at least four or five times.

"What's the situation?"

"When I left before, this airport was quite deserted..." Chen Jue muttered to himself.

When he followed the crowd to the arrival exit of the airport, the environmental decorations in the hall, including the content on those LED screens, electronic banners, and vertical easels, stunned him!

Such as: 'Warmly welcome tourists from all over the world to Wen City to taste Chen's Secret Roasted Chicken', 'Taste Wen City's special cuisine and enjoy the millennium Lucheng culture', 'Hospitable Wen City welcomes you!', 'Great fortune, Chen's Chicken!' and other slogans made Chen Jue, the founder of Chen's Chicken, feel a wave of shame.

What's even more amazing is that there are employees in Chen's uniform and volunteers wearing red armbands in the airport exit hall, distributing leaflets about Wen City tourism to tourists who came here admiringly.

When it was Chen Jue's turn, the Chen's employee with a delicate appearance also stuffed a flyer into his hand, and introduced it with very fluent words: "Welcome to Wen City for tourism! Handsome guy, if you want to go to Chen's, remember to scan the QR code on the leaflet to search for travel routes!"

"There are also bus lines and taxis dedicated to Chen's outside the door, but there have been a lot of people coming recently and the queue is a bit fierce, remember to get a number early."

This scene made Chen Jue dumbfounded, and his face twitched and said: "Thank... Thank you!"

As the boss of Chen's, being given a leaflet and popularized by his own employees is okay?

Opening the leaflet again, the tourist map inside marked the popular tourist attractions in various regions of Wen City as expected.

Such as Jiangxin Island, Yandang Mountain, Dongtou Island, Baizhangji and other 4A and 5A scenic spots are marked on the map.

What made Chen Jue feel even more ashamed was that in order to take advantage of Chen's previous internet popularity to promote it, the Wen City Bureau of Culture and Tourism specially printed the addresses of Chen's stores on this tourist map.

And it was emphasized with a red star, which was more conspicuous than those 5A scenic spots!

"This is too much!"

"Just for eating a roasted chicken, is the popularity so great?"

Chen Jue flipped through the leaflet while sticking out his tongue, and walked out with the large crowd leaving the airport.

When he arrived at the exit, he also saw a dozen teams of middle-aged and elderly tour groups holding guide flags, queuing up for those tourist buses with red banners under the shouts of the guides.

Even those yellow taxis that specialize in running airport lines have uniformly sprayed the eye-catching Logo of "Chen's", one after another carrying those independent tourists to the city center.

It's as if the entire city's tourism market has been heated up by Chen's craze overnight!

And the one who created all this is Chen Jue, a local aborigine who opened the MC plug-in!

"Brother, are you also going to Chen's to eat chicken?"

"Let's share a ride! It seems quite expensive to take a taxi to the city center, sharing a ride can save a lot of money."

Just when Chen Jue was stunned by the lively scene at the airport exit, a pair of student lovers next to him sent him an invitation.

"Share a ride?"

"Okay! I also want to go to the city center." Chen Jue agreed without hesitation when he saw this.

Since he flew back, Tie Lao Liu's Hongqi business car was still on the way back. Chen Jue wanted to hurry to Chen's company to see the current operating situation, so he shared a ride with the student couple.

After getting in the car, the somewhat older taxi driver also had a smile on his face, telling the tourists about the past glory of Wen City with skilled complaints, while introducing the irresistible taste of Chen's Secret Roasted Chicken.

"Master, there are so many tourists recently, you taxi drivers should be making a lot of money, right?" The student couple asked.

"So-so! Being able to earn eight or nine hundred a day is indeed much better than before." The taxi driver smiled happily and chatted with the student couple about their income, with a smile of making money on his face.

You should know that the starting price of taxis in Wen City is 11 yuan, which is the price that hasn't increased much in the past 20 years.

In the past, in order to speculate on the operating license of a taxi, a sky-high price of 1.42 million yuan was even auctioned in 2007.

Because Wen City was full of gold at that time!

A taxi driver could easily earn tens of thousands a month before the 2000s, you can imagine how much money this industry could make.

It was only in recent years that online car-hailing services like Didi rose, coupled with the local economic downturn, more people bought cars, and fewer people took taxis, which led to the continuous adjustment of taxi operating prices, and the income of these taxi drivers has also been decreasing day by day.

20 years ago, they earned 10,000 a month, but now in 2024, they only earn seven or eight thousand a month, who can stand this?

Therefore, after Chen's wave of popularity attracted a large number of tourists from all over the country, the taxi drivers in the whole of Wen City were about to set up a memorial tablet for Chen's mysterious behind-the-scenes boss in their cars!

"I can also be said to have inadvertently changed the income status of many ordinary people."

Chen Jue, sitting in the passenger seat, didn't speak, and just listened to the driver and the passengers in the back row chatting, secretly pleased in his heart.

Because he felt that the meaning of his entrepreneurship had inexplicably added another one.

Adjusting the state, everyone be safe and not impatient. There will be none tonight.
