Chapter 15: 50 Million Advertising Cooperation

A New Vision: The Birth of a Consortium

For Xiao Cheng, the next few days were filled with both tranquility and relentless business activity.

Pi Yuanzhi and Tian Fu introduced two more businessmen from different industries, both eager for investment. After carefully evaluating their businesses and ensuring their legality, Xiao Cheng decided to invest.

With these new deals, he now had stakes in four companies spanning various industries. It was still a modest start, but he had no doubts about his future expansion.

One evening, as he sat in his study, his phone rang. It was Tian Fu.

"Mr. Xiao," Tian Fu began, his voice carrying a note of excitement, "I have something important to discuss with you."

"Go ahead." Xiao Cheng leaned back in his chair, sensing this would be significant.

Tian Fu took a deep breath before explaining, "The four of us—the company owners you've invested in—have been talking. Since we're all under your guidance, we thought… why not work together? Instead of operating separately, we could form an alliance. If we continue this way, attracting more businesses, we could develop into a consortium."

Xiao Cheng's eyes narrowed thoughtfully. "A consortium?" He tapped his fingers against the desk.

The four companies under him were still too small to make waves in their respective industries, but if they banded together under a single vision, their collective strength would be far greater than their individual efforts.

"An interesting idea," Xiao Cheng mused. "A well-structured business network will benefit all of us, especially if we expand into multiple industries. This could solidify our position and create long-term stability."

Tian Fu's enthusiasm grew. "Exactly, Mr. Xiao! With the right connections, we could dominate entire sectors. If we nurture this correctly, we could be a force that even the biggest corporations would hesitate to challenge."

Xiao Cheng smirked. "Very well. I approve. Start integrating resources and ensuring that our businesses complement each other rather than compete internally. And remember—quality over quantity. We must only bring in companies that align with our vision and standards."

"Yes, Mr. Xiao! We'll make sure everything runs smoothly."

The Enigma of Shen Jiaoyue

After ending the call, Xiao Cheng suddenly thought of something.

He immediately called Tian Fu back. "By the way, do you know someone named Shen Jiaoyue?"

"Shen Jiaoyue?" Tian Fu was momentarily taken aback before chuckling. "Of course! Who in Donghai City doesn't know her?"

Xiao Cheng leaned forward, intrigued. "Tell me more."

At this, Tian Fu and the other company owners, who were still present, started sharing everything they knew.

Shen Jiaoyue came from an old, once-wealthy family that had fallen into decline. When she took over their struggling business, it was on the brink of collapse. But against all odds, she managed to turn it around, transforming it into the largest advertising firm in Donghai City.

"She's sharp, ruthless in business, and has a talent for seizing opportunities," Pi Yuanzhi added. "Many underestimate her because of her beauty, but they learn the hard way that she's not just a pretty face."

Xiao Cheng's interest deepened. "And what's her current situation?"

"She's been facing difficulties lately," Tian Fu explained. "Her company tried expanding beyond Donghai, but foreign competitors are suppressing her. She's been seeking strong partners, but no one wants to take the risk."

Xiao Cheng tapped his chin. "So she's looking for an ally…"

A powerful advertising firm in need of cooperation? The timing couldn't be better. He had the perfect solution.

A High-Stakes Gamble: 50 Million for Market Domination

Xiao Cheng suddenly smiled. "Tian Fu, your clothing company is still small, right?"

"Uh, yes," Tian Fu admitted. "We're decent in Donghai, but nothing compared to the giants."

"Good. Because I have a plan to make your company dominate the entire clothing market of Donghai Province."

Tian Fu blinked. "Dominate… the entire province?"

Xiao Cheng nodded. "Tomorrow, I'll send you exclusive design concepts for a new clothing line. These products will be unique, highly competitive, and in demand. You'll start mass production immediately."

Tian Fu hesitated. "But, Mr. Xiao… Even with a great product, brand recognition takes time. Expanding too fast is risky."

Xiao Cheng chuckled. "And that's where money comes in."

Tian Fu and the others exchanged confused glances. "Money?"

"Yes. I'm investing 50 million yuan in an advertising partnership with Shen Jiaoyue's company. If she's looking for a major business partner, we'll be that partner. With this kind of budget, we'll flood the market with your brand, making sure every consumer knows your name."

"50 million?! Just for advertising?!" Tian Fu nearly choked on his words.

Pi Yuanzhi, equally shocked, added, "Mr. Xiao… isn't that excessive?"

"No." Xiao Cheng's voice was calm but firm. "A small brand takes years to build recognition through slow, organic growth. But with 50 million, we will achieve in months what would normally take decades."

Tian Fu was silent for a moment. Then, finally, he exhaled deeply. "Understood, Mr. Xiao. I'll contact Shen Jiaoyue's company right away."

"Good. I'll transfer the funds now."

Within minutes, the money was wired. The wheels were set in motion.

The Ultimate Designs: A Revolution in Fashion

That evening, Xiao Cheng decided it was time for an upgrade. He headed to the best electronics store in the city and bought a high-end computer.

As soon as he set it up at home, the familiar system notification echoed in his mind:

Ding! Congratulations to the host, buying a computer for the first time! Reward: Computer-related knowledge +999! Computer technology +999! Money +200,000 yuan!

A flood of advanced computer knowledge filled his mind, making him feel as if he had spent years mastering technology.

Without wasting time, he opened a professional design program and started sketching new clothing concepts. The knowledge he had previously gained on fashion design flowed seamlessly into his work.

Each design was revolutionary—modern, elegant, and built for mass appeal. These were not just clothes; they were statements. Trends that would dominate the market.

After hours of refining the designs, he sent them to Tian Fu.

Less than ten minutes later, his phone rang.

"Mr. Xiao…" Tian Fu's voice was trembling. "These designs… they're unbelievable."

"Are they good enough to shake up the market?" Xiao Cheng asked, leaning back.

"Mr. Xiao… if we produce these, we won't just enter the market—we'll own it!" Tian Fu's voice was filled with awe. "These designs are at least five years ahead of current trends! This… this is a game-changer!"

"Then get started immediately," Xiao Cheng instructed. "We'll take over before anyone realizes what's happening."

"Yes! I'll begin production at once!" Tian Fu shouted excitedly.

And just like that, the stage was set. A new brand, backed by 50 million in advertising, revolutionary designs, and an unstoppable momentum.

Xiao Cheng smirked. This was just the beginning.
