Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled

Chapter 19: Rapid Development

In March, Tengsheng Fruit was making rapid progress.

Not only did they open a large branch on the 10th, but they also distributed dividends at another branch on the 15th.

Afterward, within just three days, they had negotiated the opening of three more popular stores.

This time, the investment was much smaller, with the transfer fees for all three stores amounting to less than 800,000.

Location-wise, one was on South Street, while the other two were located at the entrance of residential areas.

Chen Pingsheng had the largest share, his total personal investment also just amounted to 800,000.

He still had two million left in his account, with no immediate direction for investment.

He could now suddenly open five fruit supermarkets, which was already the limit.

Any more would be too rapid; without more trustworthy people under him, a collapse was likely.

After roaming around the wholesale fruit market in his small truck, Chen Pingsheng went to find his wife, Song Yanxi.

He had always harbored a small desire to, if ever he had a company,

definitely rent a large office in high-end office buildings.

To also experience what it's like to work as a cultured person.

Song Yanxi was now very respectable, whether it was former colleagues or relatives, all would greet her with a smile.

She often had relatives coming over with gifts, which was something unheard of in the past.

After Chen Pingsheng arrived, she happily took his hand and left.

"Honey, isn't opening so many stores at once too stressful for you?"

"Pressure drives motivation."

Song Yanxi was still five years younger than him, even without the means to take care of herself before, her age was still when a woman is most beautiful.

Chen Pingsheng took her to his Audi, already contemplating buying a new car for himself.

"Wife, that company you used to work for moved to Zhongguancun, so their old location is now vacant."

"Yeah, they moved right after the annual party, only leaving a customer service department here."

"I'm thinking of renting a small office over there, any good suggestions?"

"Rent an office?"

Song Yanxi was puzzled; that area was Beixin'an's fanciest A-grade office building and the rent was not cheap at all.

They were just selling fruits, was there a need for such a location to work?

"Honey, there's no need for that, our first and second shops have perfectly good offices."

"Too small."

Chen Pingsheng said, "We now have five stores, and we'll surely keep expanding. If we don't even have a decent office, how can that work? Mainly, I just want to see you work in an office building."

Holding his hand, Song Yanxi was deeply touched.

When going to the office building, they also encountered Du Juan and Yang Dan.

Neither of them were old employees of the previous company, so they hadn't moved to Zhongguancun with the rest.

Meeting each other this time, Du Juan appeared happy, as she often stayed in touch with Song Yanxi.

And often went to her place to buy fruits.

Yang Dan was different. She only heard the news about Song Yanxi after the new year.

Right after the new year, Song Yanxi quit her job immediately, and at that time Yang Dan had secretly criticized her as foolish.

After all, starting a business was not so easy.

Quitting a stable income to take a risk with her husband.

If it failed, the outcome would be hard to express.

Unexpectedly, in just less than two months, their business took off like a rocket.

Not only did they open a large store near the neighborhood's entrance, but they also opened an even larger second store.

Buying cars and all was done in cash.

They were just short of owning an apartment. If they had one, their family's situation would definitely be considered very good.

Du Juan warmly joked, "It's rare; what brought the two of you to see me during the daytime?"

"Not happy? We want to take you out to dinner tonight," Song Yanxi said, laughing as she held her hand.

"Come on, don't think I don't understand you. Tell me, what's the matter this time?"

"It's just that Pingsheng wants to rent a large office here, to serve as the headquarters for Tengsheng Fruit from now on."

"What?" Du Juan had a big reaction.

How long had it been? Former colleagues who used to work together had not only started their businesses.

They had even moved their companies into their own buildings, a complete turnaround indeed.

"You two are planning to relocate the headquarters here?"

"Yes,"

"How big of a space do you want to rent?"

"Around 500 square meters, preferably with a conference room, finance office, and a reception area."

"Five hundred square meters?"

Du Juan nodded her head; this size was certainly not small and could accommodate hundreds of people working simultaneously.

She knew of quite a few such spaces, which were easy to find, just that the rent wasn't cheap.

Chen Pingsheng had naturally considered this aspect when he arrived.

On the twelfth floor where Du Juan's company was located, there was a ready suite on the fifteenth floor.

The largest office there spanned over forty square meters with a spectacular panoramic floor-to-ceiling window next to it.

The view and visibility were also exceptionally good.

Song Yanxi sat there for a while and felt overjoyed inside.

Chen Pingsheng then immediately took it, paying an annual rent of 280,000—neither too high nor too low.

If there were only five fruit supermarkets, renting such an office would indeed be too wasteful.

He had plans to undoubtedly open many more in the future.

This time, it was really like upgrading from a bird gun to a cannon—completely dignified.

After the headquarters were rented, Tengsheng Fruit Supermarket moved amidst much excitement.

It took several busy days for Song Yanxi to fully calm down her excited feelings.

This time, not only Liu Fen came to celebrate, but her sister Song Wu also came.

Now, her view of Chen Pingsheng had also changed; it was no longer as sharp and proud as before.

It was somewhat unfamiliar all of a sudden.

Chen Pingsheng really wanted to tell her, "Compose yourself."

Then he stood tall and lifted his head proudly.

The reason for renting the headquarters was also Chen Pingsheng's desire to develop Tengsheng Fruit Supermarket in a better direction.

At least to prepare for moving out of Beixin'an.

The goal wasn't huge, but he still had to take practical steps in handling current issues.

For instance, currently, the spoilage rate of the fruits was around 9%, and controlling it to 5% would be the best industry standard.

As for other aspects, cultivating store managers was the most crucial.

As long as he could establish a fast system for training store managers in the future,

He could then rapidly open new stores.

All of this was the significance of renting the headquarters and the basis for future growth and expansion.

By the end of March, the other three stores also opened on the same day.

The interior decoration of the fruit stores was generally simple, half of the personnel were transferred from the other two stores,

And the other half were newly recruited.

The newly hired individuals were mostly familiar people from his hometown.

At this step in the moving process, the six people in the chat group besides Chen Pingsheng each managed one store.

Based on their current shares and income, earning five to six hundred thousand a year was definitely not an issue.

They could walk with their heads held high wherever they went, and finding a match for marriage back home was a breeze.

There would be no need to remain single any longer.

Busy up to this point, Chen Pingsheng, who still had one or two million in his bank account, could only settle down for now.

Only when the second branch organized a major recharge promotion,

Would he be able to make another large sum of money. If he considered the other three stores, by then, he would definitely have enough money to buy a house,

And even more than enough.

By then, he could also bring his parents and his younger and older sisters to live in Capital City.

However, at this moment, Zhao Liying, who had been busy playing minor roles in films, called him.
