Lu Chen, after all, was a wealthy young master from Jiaying City. While he was adept at all things leisurely and didn't enjoy studying, his family had many business elites who instilled in him some business acumen.
Therefore, Lu Chen was no stranger to business.
Since arriving in Yunzhou City and running the Moon Fang Pastry Shop with Liu Li, he had thoroughly understood the city's market situation. He learned by observing small details and observing broader trends, gaining a considerable understanding of business operations.
Later, as the research director of Flying Eagle Biotechnology, he gained access to the Flying Eagle Group's market database, acquiring detailed and up-to-date market intelligence.
That's why he could say all this.
And after he revealed this, not only Du Ling, but also Liu Sha and Frank were stunned.
So, this man not only knows how to treat illnesses, but he's also a businessman?
Du Ling's eyes lit up: "Ah Chen, so what do you mean?"
Lu Chen smiled slightly, raised his hands to the left and right, then swung them in a semi-circle forward, before leisurely saying, "Brother Du, you and Frank can cooperate. Isn't he planning a second-tier Nice Disney theme park? With your combined financial resources and influence, we can definitely build a first-tier Nice Disney!"
He then launched into a long explanation.
He said that in Yunzhou City, there are already many large commercial centers, and the market is nearing saturation.
However, Yunzhou City simply doesn't have any large-scale projects to offer in terms of novel and exciting amusement facilities. There are many small and medium-sized amusement parks, but almost no theme parks, let alone large-scale ones. A super-large theme park like Nice Disney, a global chain, is completely lacking. Therefore, this market is a blank.
As for Frank, the fact that he's bringing this project to Yunzhou City, regardless of his character, just looking at the project itself, is very profitable—a million times better than building a large commercial center!
However, Frank's situation only allows for the construction of a Level 2 Nice Center. But if Du Ling joins the project, the two of them can build a Level 1 one!
It's important to know that there are probably no more than five Level 1 Nice Centers in all of China. If it's built in Yunzhou City, it won't just attract tourists from Yunzhou City or Fuhai Province; it will definitely attract many tourists from both inside and outside the province.
If it's managed well, it will definitely make a fortune.
"Brother Du, think about it. Can a large commercial center attract tourists from outside the city? No! Can it attract tourists from outside the province? What a joke! But Nice Center can! So, I'm showing you how far ahead!"
Lu Chen spoke, his eyes shining brightly, like a great figure pointing out the future. He had the air of Deng Xiaoping, who famously "drew a circle" back in the day. He even went into the details, discussing how to operate it, how to expand the market, and so on.
For a moment, not only Du Ling and Liu Sha, but also Frank, who had initially looked arrogant and disdainful, were astonished.
He had to admit to himself that this guy was absolutely right.
Behind his decision to invest in building the second-tier Nice Park in Yunzhou City, of course, was a think tank advising him on how to operate it, how much profit it could generate, and so on. However, this think tank seemed to fall short compared to Lu Chen's expertise.
Liusha's eyes, as she looked at Lu Chen, revealed a hint of attraction. If her previous attempts to seduce Lu Chen were merely to extract significant benefits from him, and also because she had a fondness for such a handsome young man, now she was even developing a slight infatuation. This young Chinese man was indeed extraordinary!
Actually, Lu Chen felt a little uneasy as he spoke, as if he had stolen something from someone else.
He was no stranger to Nice Park. His runaway bride, Wan Qian, was a super-elite businesswoman in Jiaying City. She had established a premier theme park in Jiaying City by introducing a second-tier Nice Park, thus securing her position as a leader in the industry.
To this end, Lu Chen's family even obtained a complete set of documents from Wan Qian detailing her planning, introduction, and construction of the Level 2 Nice Disneyland, and showed them to Lu Chen, expressing their disappointment and urging him to learn from his fiancée's abilities.
Lu Chen did flip through it, carefully reading a few pages, and even resolved to learn it well so no one would look down on him! But this was just a fleeting enthusiasm; he soon abandoned the project and returned to his life of debauchery.
Now, strangely enough, upon remembering Nice Disneyland, the detailed documents he had only briefly glanced at years ago suddenly resurfaced in his mind, and in remarkable detail.
This might be some kind of supernatural power of the Seven-Life Flower at work, so Lu Chen, shamelessly, began to explain.
Although Du Ling was extremely excited, almost to the point of cheering, he quickly reconsidered, his expression turning cold. He turned and glared at Frank, saying, "Chen, your plan is excellent. Compared to yours, my plan for a large commercial center is utter garbage! However, cooperating with Frank is like asking a tiger for its skin!"
Frank retorted, "Cooperate with you? Pshaw! I think we're irreconcilable! Even if there's a great future, I wouldn't dare let you cooperate with me; it would definitely damage my interests!"
Lu Chen said calmly, "The cooperation I'm referring to is 'one country, two systems'!"
Simply put, although the two of them were jointly developing Nice Disneyland, they could negotiate to divide the park into two parts, each managed by its own company, maintaining a cooperative yet competitive relationship. The cooperation was operational; the competition was market competition. Their finances were also separate, so there was virtually no possibility of them encroaching on each other's interests.
As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, Liu Sha nodded in agreement: "That's right, Mr. Lu's suggestion is excellent. Frank, let's adopt a 'one country, two systems' approach. You and Mr. Du can each contract some theme park projects. I think this way, competition will help us continuously improve the quality of the theme parks. I believe this is also what our family elders hope to see."
Although Frank had already tacitly agreed that what Lu Chen and Liu Sha said was indeed a good solution for development. However, his pride wouldn't allow him to agree. He clenched his fists and roared, "The NiceDidi theme park is a project I brought in; none of them have the capability. Why should I partner with someone else? Besides, this partner is my enemy!"
Lu Chen scratched his head, too lazy to pay him any attention, and looked at Liu Sha, smiling slightly, "Miss Liu Sha, I believe you're a sensible person. Although only Frank can bring in the NiceDidi project, it's not something that can be done just by bringing it in. Establishing and developing here involves many factors and the interests of many people. Without compromise, there is no development."
He paused slightly, his tone turning cold again, "I'm really doing this for your sake, for your brother's sake. If he doesn't appreciate it, then forget it. I'm not involved in this anymore."
Saying this, he patted Du Ling's shoulder and said, "Brother Du, regardless of whether they agree or not, if you can get that land, I think you should still build a theme park. Although you can't bring in the NiceDidi project, we have quite a few mature chain theme parks in China, right?"
Du Ling's eyes lit up: "That's right! Haha, Brother Chen, you're amazing! No wonder Old Pang admires you so much. Don't worry, if he doesn't appreciate it, I'll crush him! I'll get the land, open my own amusement park, and then I'll have you as my operations consultant!"
As he spoke, he glared at Frank. His eyes were filled with murderous intent, making the man tremble involuntarily.
Liusha said, "Mr. Du, Mr. Lu, I believe my brother will consider this carefully. It's such a beneficial opportunity for him; I believe he'll think it through. Please give us some time, okay?"
Lu Chen winked at her and looked at Du Ling: "Brother Du, what do you say?"
Du Ling confidently held up one finger: "One day is enough for me. If Frank agrees, I have no problem with that, except for one condition. Chen has to be the operations consultant for my company and receive a share of the profits. If Chen doesn't agree, well, even if Frank agrees, I won't cooperate!"
Du Ling was quite shrewd; the operations consultant role wasn't just an advisor, but also a guarantor.
Ryuse smiled faintly, "Of course we'll also have Mr. Lu as our operations consultant, and we'll get a share of the profits. However, compared to Mr. Du, it will definitely be more, if not more!"
Hearing this, Frank was furious. Building a Niceland in Yunzhou City was a project he had personally overseen, but now it seemed like Ryuse was making the decisions? Was she trying to steal his credit?
Building a second-tier Niceland in China, while not a huge achievement for the Johnvin family, was still a considerable accomplishment.
The Johnvin family kept a record of each member's global business development, with a tiered system of five levels, from A to E.
If Frank succeeded in making this second-tier Niceland a success, it would be a D-level achievement. But if it was managed well and the business continued to expand, reaching a B-level achievement wouldn't be a problem!
Frank began to suspect Ryuse's motives.
At that moment, Du Ling chuckled, "Then I won't bother you any longer. Remember, one day. If it works out, we're partners. If not, I'll have to let Chen down."
With that, he turned and walked towards the door, his bodyguards quickly following.
Du Ling waved, "Chen, see me off!"
Lu Chen strode after him, the two walking side by side, practically arm in arm. Reaching the main gate and the car, Du Ling stopped and said in a deep voice,
"Chen, Frank is a pig-headed idiot, nothing to worry about. But you need to be careful of Liusha. She's an absolute femme fatale. Don't touch her; she might bite you at any moment. If you like that type of foreign woman, I can find you three or five anytime, and they're just as beautiful."
Lu Chen nodded: "Brother Du, thanks for the reminder. I'll be wary of her. But honestly, while it's not hard to find foreign women with her looks and figure, conquering her would be a man's pride."
Du Ling laughed heartily and punched Lu Chen in the chest: "You, you're aiming to conquer a woman who can conquer the world, aren't you? Anyway, be careful. I heard she brought a group of very skilled assassins. I wonder what she's up to."
As he spoke, a deep sense of vigilance crossed his face.
