Chen Cheng also made changes to the ostensible fund managers: John is in charge of LA, Aks is in charge of Hong Kong, and Qu Honglei remains in charge of Shanghai.

Looking at public information, Zhencheng System no longer has any connection to Chen Cheng.

With the experience from last time, Chen Cheng was very clear that once the explosive position report for this quarter from Zhencheng System was released, those white-skinned monkeys lurking in the shadows would definitely push it into the limelight again.

All Chen Cheng could do was: 'Let them be strong; the breeze blows over the hills. Let them be aggressive; the bright moon shines upon the river.'

Using the media to disgust someone is the dirtiest tactic.

These reporters aren't afraid of you suing them at all.

If you sue them, they get topics to discuss, articles to write, traffic to leach off of, and money to make.

They're practically begging for it.

The best way to handle it is the cold treatment.

If you can't make people shut up forever, then just ignore them.

Putting away his phone, Chen Cheng started drawing cars on his tablet.

His drawing skills were copied from Jiang Nansun.

Jiang Nansun studied architecture, and her drawing and sketching skills were quite good.

Before the plane landed, Chen Cheng sent two design drafts to Tan Zongming.

If you're going to walk down someone else's path, you have to do it thoroughly.

Leaving others with no path to walk is the best approach.

Why two?

Because Scum Cheng also drew a concept car with sharp edges and a strong sense of muscle.

He was also planning to make a movie for this car to promote it.

Hmm, Initial D.

A classic movie, plus daily advertising bombardment, combined with Tan Zongming's personal founder IP marketing.

In terms of public opinion dissemination, the Company Name car brand should be able to establish itself.

Since he had invested money, Chen Cheng would do his best to support Company Name until it really couldn't go on anymore.

As for whether it would fall into a plagiarism controversy.

This doesn't matter at all; the capital market looks at sales and profits.

Besides, Chen Cheng had also prepared an 'original' muscle car.

One copy, one original—this gives the keyboard warriors on the internet who love to pontificate material to argue about, with reason and evidence.

Only then will there be a constant stream of topics and traffic.

In the era of traffic, traffic is sales!

'Goodbye, Brother Cheng~'

Walking out of the business jet terminal, Lin Miaomiao, Deng Xiaoqi, and the others greeted Chen Cheng and got into a white Toyota alphard.

Before coming out, he had already given instructions for them to leave directly.

Chen Cheng had Meng Yanchen arrange it. Since they all came along, he might as well arrange it for them.

It didn't cost much, and it could corrupt Lin Miaomiao and Deng Xiaoqi.

Hehehe...

Why not?

Wang Tie Mei glanced at Chen Cheng, 'Then we'll be going too.'

Chen Cheng nodded with a smile and greeted Wang Moli, 'Goodbye, Wang Moli.'

Wang Moli's expression was as indifferent as always, and she waved at Chen Cheng, 'Goodbye, Uncle.'

Afterward, the mother and daughter got into a black alphard.

After everyone got into their cars, Meng Yanchen introduced the Company Name executives who had come to pick up the big boss.

'Chairman Chen, this is Jiang Han.'

Jiang Han, the former general manager, now the CEO.

He is also the former son-in-law of the founder, Han Zhengchu.

Han Yiting's ex-husband.

Actually, that's not right; according to the information Chen Cheng received, the two aren't divorced yet.

Han Yiting doesn't want a divorce.

To be at this point and still not want a divorce—she really is quite love-struck.

But it's not surprising; Jiang Han was originally a live-in son-in-law for the Han Family. If his daughter wasn't love-struck, Han Zhengchu would have found a son-in-law of equal social status anyway.

Jiang Han is also the ex-boyfriend of Ji Nanjia [Ren Suxi].

'Chairman Chen, hello~' Jiang Han, wearing a light gray suit, bowed slightly and reached out to Chen Cheng with a full smile.

'Hello~' Chen Cheng had a faint smile on his lips as he shook the hand extended to him.

Meng Yanchen and Chen Cheng both knew, and even Jiang Han himself knew, that he wouldn't be staying at Company Name for much longer.

Meng Yanchen frowned sternly, then forced a smile and pointed to the middle-aged woman beside him, who was wearing a suit skirt and had ear-length short hair, 'This is the Chief Financial Officer, Dong Xin.'

'Hello,' Chen Cheng shook her hand as well.

After saying that, Meng Yanchen introduced the last person.

'This is Jian Yifan; the former marketing director, Lu Yining, is pregnant and about to give birth.'

'General Manager Jian will take over Lu Yining's work.'

Chen Cheng raised the corners of his mouth, channeling an Oscar-winning actor, and looked at Meng Yanchen with a slight frown.

So the male lead from He Xiang has arrived.

And he looks a lot like Tao Wuji.

A smile also appeared on Meng Yanchen's face, 'I was also very surprised when I first saw Secretary Tao.'

'General Manager Jian and Secretary Tao really do look somewhat alike.'

Chen Cheng laughed, 'That's quite a coincidence.'

He reached out towards Jian Yifan, 'General Manager Jian, hello.'

Jian Yifan suddenly became nervous, hurriedly shaking the hand Chen Cheng extended, and bowed slightly, 'Chairman Chen, hello. I often hear General Manager Meng mention you.'

Chen Cheng glanced at Meng Yanchen, 'You didn't speak ill of me, did you?'

This remark immediately amused Jiang Han, Jian Yifan, and Dong Xin, but they held back, not daring to laugh.

Meng Yanchen: '...'

Seeing his serious expression, Chen Cheng chuckled, 'Let's go, it's quite hot.'

Except for Jiang Han, the other two were brought to Company Name by Meng Yanchen, so they counted as his own people.

Bringing them over was also to let Chen Cheng take a look at them.

'Okay~' Meng Yanchen nodded faintly and led Chen Cheng to the white alphard parked at the entrance of the business jet terminal.

Jiang Han and Jian Yifan sat in the back row, and the female colleague Dong Xin sat in the passenger seat.

Eleven, Zou Yu, and Ming Zhen got into the black Audi A8 parked behind.

Once the car was on the main road, Meng Yanchen prepared to report on work.

'Right now, apart from the penalty with the SEC that hasn't been finalized yet, everything else is basically settled.'

Chen Cheng nodded, 'How is the new product development for the Coconut Latte going?'

'We have already determined the most suitable ratio.'

Chen Cheng: 'Secure the coconut milk supply and get it on the shelves as soon as possible. We need to set this fire before the summer ends.'

Meng Yanchen nodded, 'Hmm, we are already in contact with the South Sea side.'

'How much can you get the cost per cup down to now?'

'13.86 yuan.'

'Hmm...' Chen Cheng pondered, 'That's a bit high.'

Meng Yanchen: 'Our marketing costs are relatively high.'

Chen Cheng knew this; Company Name built its business on internet marketing.

Brainwashing slogans, viral 'Moments' check-ins, endorsements by big-name celebrities, and elevator advertisements spread across the country at great cost.

Since the costs are high, we must reduce costs and increase efficiency.

There are only two ways to go: optimize redundant positions and optimize the supply chain.

Reducing marketing expenses is not suitable for Company Name, which is still in its investment phase.

Chen Cheng: 'Quickly close down stores that haven't been able to turn a positive cash flow within three months of opening.'

'After directly sourcing raw beans, building our own roasting factory, and optimizing store management, see if we can bring the cost per cup below 10 yuan.'

'Appropriately increase some expenses for endorsements and advertising.'

Meng Yanchen revealed a smile and looked at Chen Cheng, 'For the new endorsement, we plan to invite Qiao Jingjing.'
