Hong Kong Tycoon: Starting from Delivering Dongfeng Express

Chapter 58 Rapid Growth

The gangster who had just been kicked against the wall got up. The slutty bastard, even though he had been beaten, was still not in a clear mind. He pointed at Da Xia and cursed:

"Tsz Wan Shan prawn? I've never heard of it. To me, you're just a shrimp!"

Da Xia strode forward, grabbed the scoundrel by the hair and slammed him against the wall. "You've never heard of it! I'll make sure you never hear of it! Today, I'll make sure you never forget it!"

After hitting the scoundrel several times until his head was bleeding, Da Xia threw him towards the others and pointed at them, saying:
"If I see you dare to cause trouble here again, I will chop off all your hands and feet! Don't think I'm joking! Get out!"

When the gangsters saw the miserable state of their companion, they didn't dare to stay any longer. They helped the bad guy up and left.

Ruan Mei poked her head out from behind Ye Dongsheng: "Thank you, Brother Da Xia!"

Da Xia nodded at Ruan Mei, then looked Ye Dongsheng up and down. Just as he was about to say something, he heard a sudden brake. A van stopped at the door. It was packed with more than a dozen big men. The man in the passenger seat stuck his head out:
"Hey, Big Shrimp, are you done with the fuss? Time to get to work!"

"Oh, here I come!" Da Xia quickly turned around and got into the car.

The "Seven Hegemons of Huangtian", who had not gone far, were completely frightened when they saw the people in the car, and fled as fast as they could.

Watching the car disappear into the night, Ye Dongsheng asked Ruan Mei, "Do you know him?"

Ruan Mei nodded. "He's my neighbor. He's actually quite a nice guy. Whenever there are gangsters causing trouble here, he usually takes care of them!"

Ye Dongsheng smiled, finally understanding why Ruan Mei was reluctant to move out. Not only was it cheaper, but there was also a big brother in the building looking after her, so safety was guaranteed. It was indeed better than many other places!

On the fourth floor, Ruan Mei stood at the door and thanked Ye Dongsheng: "Brother Sheng, thank you!"

Ye Dongsheng shook his head slightly: "If you are willing to take a taxi, there is no need for me, the boss, to come and see you off in person!"

"Taxis are very expensive~" Ruan Mei muttered with her head down.

"Okay, you should get some rest early. I'm leaving too!"

"Goodbye, Brother Sheng!" Ruan Mei closed the door with a smile.

In the room, a kind old lady wearing reading glasses came over with a smile, pulled Ruan Mei and asked curiously, "Amei, who was that just now? I sent you home so late! Is he your boyfriend?"

"Oh, grandma, don't talk nonsense. That's my boss. He only gave it to me because he was late getting off work!"

But the old lady didn't care at all. She continued to pat Ruan Mei's hands and said, "What's wrong with the boss? What boss would come to see his employees off so late? He must be fond of you! I think this young man is very handsome!"

Ruan Mei interrupted the old lady and said helplessly, "No, don't misunderstand me! It's really not true!
"Grandma, please don't mention this kind of thing again! Besides, I don't want to harm others in my current state!"

Thinking of the congenital heart disease inherited from Ruan Mei's father's family, the old lady sighed and stopped talking.

……

Ye Dongsheng turned and walked towards the stairs. He was walking towards a man who was half a head shorter than him, but he was quite strong. He looked short and thick. And this man had a characteristic: he was very dark!

The big shrimp just now already had dark skin, but this short and strong man was five shades darker than the big shrimp, almost as dark as a black man.

Ye Dongsheng couldn't help but slow down his pace, wanting to see what this guy was doing. He saw the short, dark and strong man walked to the next door next to Ruan Mei's house and knocked on the door. He found Ye Dongsheng looking at him, and glared at Ye Dongsheng fiercely, with a look in his eyes that probably meant to mind his own business!
Soon, the door opened, and a fair-skinned and beautiful woman hugged the short, dark-skinned man and kissed him: "Damn it, you're finally here~"

The short, dark-skinned man slapped the woman's buttocks and said with a lewd smile, "Little devil, is your man gone?"

The woman snorted, "Don't mention that spoiler! He's gone to kill someone. Let's have fun all night long!"

With the sound of the door closing, the short and strong man carried the woman into the room.

Ye Dongsheng frowned. Killing someone? And he was Ruan Mei's neighbor...

Could this be the wife of that big guy just now?
After standing there for a few seconds, Ye Dongsheng shook his head and walked downstairs. He wasn't sure who that woman was, and even if she was Da Xia's wife, it would be difficult for him to control her.

Ye Dongsheng observed the environment inside the building and decided to persuade Ruan Mei to move out as soon as possible. After all, public housing is a government project and is under the management of the neighborhood committee. Here, it is really a lawless place.

……

Sending Ruan Mei home was just a small episode. Ye Dongsheng still devoted all his energy to Dongfeng Express.

The next morning, just as Dongfeng Express opened at 8 a.m., dozens of people were already waiting in a long line. As the day progressed, more and more people wanted to try out this same-day delivery service to mainland China!

In the team, there was an older man who was talking on the phone with a cell phone:

"What? You're still using EMS?!
You use EMS, no wonder you get stuck in traffic!

I always use Dongfeng Express now! It arrives in one day, 10 times faster than your EMS. How dare you compete with me?

"Hey, Boss Wang, yes, you don't have to wait another 10 days. I'm using Dongfeng Express now. They deliver orders quickly, so of course I can ship quickly too!"

That night.

"408 orders! Brother Sheng, that's an increase of almost a hundred orders compared to yesterday!"

On the third day, 528 orders! Even higher than yesterday’s increase!
Day four, night.

After a busy day, when the shop closed, Ah Hua and Xiao Fu led a few people to do the finishing work in the back of the warehouse, while Ye Dongsheng looked at the record made by Ruan Mei for him with a happy face in the shop: 688 orders!
On just the fourth day, the number of orders received by Dongfeng Express more than doubled compared to the opening day!

Ye Dongsheng thought that yesterday's increase of over 160 express delivery orders was high enough, but he didn't expect that today's increase would reach as many as orders!
Logically speaking, as the business volume increases every day, the growth rate should gradually slow down, but Dongfeng Express has no such signs at all! It is still growing rapidly!

What does this mean? It means this number is far from reaching the market ceiling! Perhaps Dongfeng Express's business volume will double again soon!
Ye Dongsheng picked up a bottle of mineral water and gulped it down to cool down his hot brain.

He told himself that the current growth rate was due to the fact that the delivery in the past was too slow, and Hong Kong Island had suffered from EMS for a long time!
When Dongfeng Express suddenly appeared, offering such fast delivery, everyone was immediately excited and enthusiastic about the new product. However, as time went on, people gradually became accustomed to the existence of Dongfeng Express and began to consume more rationally.

But no matter what we say, it still cannot change the fact that 688 express deliveries are far from the upper limit!
The market potential is really huge!
