Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

Chapter 432: Transitional Chapter, Planning for Shared Bikes and Short Videos



Recently, media reports about Zhou Yuwen have suggested, without directly stating, that Zhou Yuwen relies on Jiang Xinyi's support. They imply that Zhou Yuwen has found a good partner, and even some bystanders comment that Zhou Yuwen's success is due to a woman.

In fact, when Jiang Xinyi and Zhou Yuwen first started seeing each other, their relationship was very equal and free. Jiang Xinyi didn't act like a spoiled heiress, and Zhou Yuwen didn't really mind that she was six years older than him.

However, as the two truly fell in love, there was some distance between them. At its root, this was because Jiang Xinyi was too concerned about her age. Moreover, Liu Jing often told her daughter not to feel inferior because of her status.

Over time, Jiang Xinyi's concern about her age developed into an unspeakable possessiveness, reinforced by media reports, making her feel incredibly important to Zhou Yuwen.

At this point, Zhou Yuwen's most prominent industry, the food delivery business, had already been sold to Baidu, and he maintained a good relationship with Baidu.

Jiang Xinyi's family had some influence in Jinling, but it was insignificant compared to a national internet company like Baidu.

Baidu hoped to leverage Zhou Yuwen's reputation as a young entrepreneur to fully expand their campus delivery service, so they supported Zhou Yuwen in many ways.

Once, when Baidu's Mr. Li came to Jinling for a meeting, he specifically brought Zhou Yuwen along. After the meeting, they took a photo together, with Mr. Li affectionately putting his arm around Zhou Yuwen's shoulders, expressing that a strong youth equals a strong nation, and seeing Zhou Yuwen was seeing the country's future—that both technology and business needed talents like Zhou Yuwen.

Besides Baidu, Gao Peter from Tianhui Planning and Zhu Hong from Meituan were part of Zhou Yuwen's network, and they were also happy to interact with him.

So honestly, being in a relationship with Jiang Xinyi didn't really impact Zhou Yuwen significantly.

If it was about business, Zhou Yuwen might indeed need Jiang Xinyi's help.

But now sixty million was already in his hands, so all he needed to do was relax.

No matter how good the other's family was, what did it matter to Zhou Yuwen?

So while Jiang Xinyi, the beloved daughter, was fretting at home about whether to start over with Zhou Yuwen because of emotional reasons,

Zhou Yuwen's business had already entered the next phase of development.

When he went with Baidu's Mr. Li to attend an internet summit,

people from Alibaba approached Zhou Yuwen and asked for his opinion on the logistics industry.

Zhou Yuwen, naturally acting dumb, said the development of courier logistics was an inevitable trend.

Hearing this, they smiled and said they were creating a national integrated digital logistics, providing services like parcel holding, community retail, delivery, self-pickup, door-to-door service, and group-buy recycling to offer convenience to consumers through diversified logistics.

Zhou Yuwen pretended to be intrigued, saying it sounded very interesting.

The representative smiled and said, "This plan is called Cainiao Station, and it's one of Alibaba Network's top five strategic directions!"

Zhou Yuwen then asked, "I'm curious to know what you're looking for with me?"

They exchanged smiles.

And thus, more than fifty courier stations under Zhou Yuwen, including over twenty in just three University Town areas in Jinling and over thirty gradually established in Suzhou, Wuxi, and Changzhou,

all joined the Cainiao Station plan.

In this era of major internet companies vying for territory, Alibaba's offer was the most generous. During negotiations, they provided calculations showing that, based on the throughput of each courier station, Zhou Yuwen's annual revenue should be between 150 to 200 million.

Then Cainiao Station aimed to unify and manage all courier stations centrally.

So they offered Zhou Yuwen a flat rate, two million annually!

Thus, Zhou Yuwen increased his annual income by another two million.

And he also formed a connection with Alibaba.

At this point, Zhou Yuwen could truly be said to make his mark in the internet circle, with various media vying to report on him, striving to create a comprehensive image, turning him into a model young entrepreneur. The full series lives on My Virtual Library Empire (M|V|L0EMPYR).

Amidst such a laudatory environment from all sides, Zhou Yuwen exhibited maturity beyond his years, refusing all interviews and stating that his priority should be studying.

Zhou Yuwen sincerely said, smiling in front of the cameras, that he started his business originally to provide convenience for some students and didn't expect the industries would grow this big.

Now, food delivery was handled by Baidu.

Logistics was handled by Alibaba.

Specialized tasks should be done by professionals.

As for himself, a youngster not yet fully grown, he should be focused on studying at school.

So he asked the media friends to stop fixating on him.

This was Zhou Yuwen's last report in the media, where it was mentioned that some media asked him how he would spend the sixty million from selling his food delivery company?

Zhou Yuwen said that he would probably buy a batch of bicycles to be stationed around Jinling for students to use for their commute.
