I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

"Chairman, there are more and more new models now. We need to hurry up, otherwise we will be eliminated sooner or later. There are countless food companies in the country. Now many food factories have begun to cooperate with Aba Aba. I think offline stores will be doomed sooner or later." Zhang Quandan said with his head down.

“The new model is certainly good, but offline stores will not die either. We started our business by relying on offline stores. There are so many chain stores across the country, we cannot go bankrupt just because of changing the model. Others sell online, but we choose to sell offline. I want to see who is more powerful.” Although Zhan Yangni only graduated from a junior college and has a low level of education, he still understands food and customer psychology very well.

These two people are also very interesting. They have completely different strategic ideas about the company, but in the future they both use their own ways to make the company bigger and bigger.

"You are such a stubborn guy. If you don't do it, then I will do it myself." Zhang Quandan walked out of the office, muttering to himself.

He returned to his office, turned on his computer and typed in the URL of the Aba Aba e-commerce platform.

"What should we name the store? Zhan X? No, it's too similar to the name of the group. Let's just name it this, three mice! The three brothers in our Zhang family are all born in the year of the rat." Zhang Quandan excitedly tapped the keyboard and pressed the OK button.

"Buzz~"

At this moment, the phone on the table rang.

"Hello, Mr. Yang! Why did you suddenly think of calling me? The source of goods I provided you last time was not bad, right? Chen Shubao also purchased his goods from them, and the quality is absolutely excellent!"

"Well, the quality is very good. By the way, come to my place now, I have something to tell you." Yang Dingtian's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"What's the matter, Mr. Yang? I'm still in the company and the chairman hasn't left yet!"

"What the hell, it's better to be your own boss than to work for others. Do you want to start a company?"

"Of course I do, but..."

"Don't worry, if you want to be a boss, come to me now. Hurry up, opportunities are for those who are prepared."

"Beep~beep~" Yang Dingtian said a few words and hung up the phone.

"Be my own boss?" Zhang Quandan looked at the office door, then looked at his computer, and then stood up.

Cha Cha Foods, Inc.

"All the melon seeds on the market are now occupied by our company, and the battle with Yang Dingtian is about to be decided. As long as everyone works harder and drives Yang out completely, we can monopolize the entire market." Chen Shubao spoke passionately in the conference room with great enthusiasm.

"Mr. Chen, as living conditions get better, there are more and more types of snacks. Young people nowadays don't seem to like eating melon seeds. Do you want us to develop in other directions?"

"The company launched many products before, but the results were not very satisfactory. I think it was because the packaging was too poor. Yang's egg yolk pie is very popular in the market, and even invited artists from the Taiwan area to endorse it. Should we also get our own spokesperson?"

"Yes, my children don't eat melon seeds. Young people nowadays like new foods. The weirder they are, the more they like to buy them. Even the sales of Wangwang Group's products have begun to decline. The root cause is the lack of innovation!"

The company executives present at the meeting expressed their opinions one after another.

In their opinion, they can't make any money by focusing on selling melon seeds.

How much does a pound of melon seeds cost?
It’s not even as expensive as a box of egg yolk pie!

Nowadays, people look at the packaging before buying something, and only pick it up and examine it carefully after they like it.

As for how many grams of stuff are in the box, only older people would pay attention to that.

"You mean to say that our products are tacky? This extreme tackyness is trendy! The sesame seed cakes that were all the rage in Xinlu a few years ago, why did they sell so well? First, because they tasted good, and second, because they had tacky names. Some were called tacky and some were called tacky... How much does it cost to hire an artist? Millions. I might as well use that money to advertise..."

Chen Shubao's words made the people below feel helpless, and they all felt that this boss was somewhat behind the times.

In fact, it’s not that Chen Shubao is unwilling to invest, but that the company’s funds are not very sufficient now.

He had already suffered heavy losses from several divorces before, and now he had invested all his money in Chen Yifeng. Chen Shubao didn't have much money left.

But this kind of thing definitely cannot be said in front of everyone, so you can only find an excuse to change the subject.

"We have to take it step by step now. We should first make the company's main product - melon seeds - well. After we monopolize the market, we will invest our energy into the next product. I understand your ideas and I will consider it. I have talked with the president of the Zhan Zhan Group. Their main product now is pastries. Our two companies are ready to reach a cooperation. We still have a lot of say in nuts. When the time comes, everyone should think of ideas on how to integrate the two products..." Chen Shubao suddenly announced a major decision of the company at the meeting.

Victorian Manor at night.

"Son, you're back. This is your Aunt Li."

"Hey, the big foreign student is back."

"Why are you here?"

Chen Xi stared at the woman in front of him with a gloomy face.

In her previous life, she was one of the people who cheated her mother out of her money.

"How do you greet your aunt?"

Chen Caiyue was very surprised by her son's reaction.

"It's okay, it's okay, haha, he must have stayed abroad for too long. Sister Caiyue, let's continue talking about what happened just now." Li Li said with a forced smile.

"Are you here to sell insurance?" Chen Xi asked coldly.

The woman in front of me used to work in an insurance company and was originally one of Huade's employees.

Every time I came to his house before, he was either selling insurance or some other investment products to Chen Caiyue.

Chen Caiyue always buys some out of consideration for her reputation and to take care of old employees.

As time went on, the amount of money wasted suddenly reached a terrifying number, and even Chen Caiyue herself didn't notice it.

"Forehead……"

"What's wrong with buying some insurance? I will also need to see a doctor when I'm old, right? I saw that foreigners like to buy insurance, so I bought one for you too." Chen Caiyue looked at her son righteously.

"It's all a scam. They won't pay when the time comes. They'll either make excuses like the time hasn't come or this or that." Chen Xi was completely ruthless and told the truth directly. "Chen Xi, this insurance is not a scam. Although the news often reports that some people can't get compensation, they all found irregular companies, and the salesmen are all problematic. I'm your mother's old subordinate, and the company is also regular, how could I be cheated?" Li Li answered with a smile, but she cursed Chen Xi in her heart.

"Two thousand per month, a total of twenty-nine years, and a coverage of three hundred thousand. Something is wrong with this account. Where did the remaining money go? Look at this again. Three thousand per month, a total of thirty years, and a return after several decades... seven hundred and fifty thousand... If you cancel the insurance midway, will the previous insurance be void?"

Chen Xi picked up the contract on the table and began to read it.

This is a totally ridiculous contract. In the past, Chen Caiyue would just glance at it casually and sign it directly.

"Maybe it was printed wrong. How about I tell your mother about the investment and financial management project first." Li Li said, secretly wiping the sweat from her forehead.

Seeing the two of them sitting on the sofa, Chen Xi did not say anything. He wanted to hear what the other party was talking about investment.

"Lily, don't you work for an insurance company? The company in this brochure doesn't look like an insurance company." Chen Caiyue asked puzzledly as she looked at the album in her hand.

She had just been reminded by Chen Xi and was a little wary.

"Sister Caiyue, I'm working several jobs now! Ever since Mr. Chen laid me off, I haven't found any high-paying job..." Li Li started playing the emotional card, trying to win the other party's sympathy.

"It's so hard, why don't you come back to work in our advertising company? I'm the boss now, so what he says doesn't count."

"No, no. I'm very happy working outside now. I just need your support, Sister Caiyue. Our company has many projects. As long as customers deposit their money with us, they will get a considerable return on a regular basis, which is much more than what the bank gives..." Li Li pointed to the contents on the brochure and began to introduce.

Chen Xi also walked closer and looked over.

I have never heard of this company. It looks like it was newly established and is most likely a Ponzi scheme.

"Look here, son." Chen Caiyue patted the seat next to him and asked him to sit down.

“How much does your company return?”

"The general annual rate is about 16.5%. We also have financial management for senior customers, which reaches 21%..."

16.5%…22%, and they are high-level customers.

How dare you say that!
Chen Xi wanted to curse after hearing this, but he suppressed his anger and asked, "What projects does your company have? You should ask clearly before investing."

"There are many, including finance, technology, and real estate, but our company's main focus is investing in technology companies."

"Oh? Which companies are they? Tell me more about them. What technologies do they have? What products have they developed?"

"Nowadays, many companies are making games and lending money under the name of technology companies. Our company has invested in them. I won't go into details. As for the others, our company is currently engaged in several major projects, one of which is waste recycling. We have also received a large order from overseas. Using our company's black technology, we can turn waste into treasure..."

Chen Xi was delighted when he heard this. After all this time, he found out that it was Yang Dan’s company.

"What kind of black technology is this? Which country is it from? What are the collection rate, recycling rate, and reuse rate? Does it comply with the three transformations and four divisions? How about the technology of photoelectric sorting and electric power sorting?"

The recycling rate is the ratio of the sum of the mass of the reused and recycled parts of waste products (excluding the energy recovery part) to the mass of the recycled waste products.

The recycling rate is the ratio of the sum of the mass of the recyclable parts of waste products (including the reused part, the recycled part and the energy recovery part) to the mass of the recycled waste products.

The three transformations refer to reduction, resource utilization and harmlessness.

The four categories are classified placement, classified collection, classified transportation, and classified processing.

Photometric Separation refers to a method of separating materials by utilizing the different reflection characteristics of light on the surface of a material.

Electric Field Separation is a method of separation that utilizes the differences in electrical properties of various components in solid waste in a high-voltage electric field.

"Ah? Chen Xi, the questions you asked are too professional. I'm just a salesperson. I don't know much about what you are talking about. But there is one thing I can be sure of, that is, the company's technology is definitely the best in the country!" Li Li was stunned at first, and then answered calmly.

"Then you should know who your company is cooperating with. You can't just invest this money randomly. We should investigate the profitability of the other company."

"This..." Li Li was stunned for a moment. How would she know who to cooperate with?

This kind of thing is not something a small salesperson like her can know, but she thought about it and then said, "Well, the company said before that it would organize investors to visit the waste recycling company. You can go and take a look at it together then."

"So when was your company founded?"

"Our company was established not long ago, but we have quite a lot of clients. So many people have invested money, which shows that everyone trusts us. There is no need to worry about anything going wrong." Li Li assured confidently.

"It's because there are too many people that things are more likely to go wrong. The bigger the plate, the greater the possibility of running away. Your annualized return is so outrageous, how can you make money in any business, unless you use all the money to engage in finance, but this operation will definitely be irregular. If the higher-ups check it out one day, it will definitely be a disaster!"

"This……"

"Okay, Lily. Why don't you go back first and I'll think about it."

"Okay, Sister Caiyue, I'll go back first then."

Seeing that her good thing was ruined, a hint of displeasure flashed in Li Li's eyes, but she still smiled and said goodbye to the two.

"Mom, don't associate with scammers like this anymore."

"How do you know she's a liar? Maybe she just joined the company and isn't familiar with the business. Don't always think so bad of others. After all, she taught you in the company when you were a child..." Chen Caiyue looked careless and as if nothing had happened, which gave Chen Xi a headache.

It was the same in my previous life. I just felt that my mother had become a little alert, but now it seems...

"In short, from now on, no matter who asks you to invest money in business, buy insurance, stocks or anything like that, you are not allowed to do so without asking me first." Seeing that his mother was stubborn, Chen Xi had no choice but to become serious.

"I got it, I got it. When you come back, I'll leave the money with you and you can pay me a salary every month." Chen Caiyue said this and ran to take care of the two puppies.

"Hey, one of you is always cheating people, and the other is always being cheated. How could I have two weird parents like you?" Chen Xi sighed and walked upstairs. (End of this chapter)
