The photo posted by Chen Yiyang was so clear that even Lixiang didn’t know how to respond.
But that wasn’t the end of it.
Soon, netizens discovered that many of the promotional videos Lixiang released for their cars showed cars parked all over the place.
One of the promotional images even showed a Lixiang car taking up three parking spaces.
There are even rumors that Lixiang’s automatic parking feature parks cars horizontally, taking up two spaces.
After all, Lixiang’s cars are ten centiters wider than average, so parking them normally is indeed difficult.
Chen Yiyang hit and ran, so to speak.
After causing a stir, he imdiately disappeared, leaving the netizens to continue the jokes on their own.
Lixiang also realized that Chen Yiyang is a big internet influencer with many followers; anything he posts can set off a frenzy.
Continuing the dispute with Chen Yiyang would really damage Lixiang’s reputation.
So Lixiang decided to back down and stop fighting.
"Mr. Chen, Yiyang Coffee over there hopes that if you have ti recently, you can go to Lin City to attend the opening ceremony of a specialty coffee shop.
"Lin City?" Upon hearing his assistant’s words, Chen Yiyang was montarily confused before realizing that Lin City is the capital of Qiannan Province, abbreviated as Gui.
But why would they need him to endorse a coffee shop in Lin City?
Chen Yiyang has been in the coffee business for many years.
He first introduced Yunnan coffee to Brazil and Russia.
As the business grew, he created a coffee brand. Although he didn’t invest much, it developed quite well and beca a sowhat famous coffee brand dostically.
Not to ntion, Chen Yiyang also has connections in Russia, so Yiyang Coffee’s main market is abroad.
However, since Russia’s purchasing power is limited, in recent months, Yiyang Coffee has been working on expanding its dostic market.
But in Chen Yiyang’s view, the main coffee consumption cities would be Shanghai or Shancheng.
These two cities have a lot of coffee shops.
As for Lin City, this city in the mountains, how much coffee can it consu?
"Yes, Lin City." The assistant continued, "Lin City is the main battleground in the dostic coffee industry.
To establish Yiyang Coffee’s reputation in Lin City, it requires increased promotion. But Yiyang Coffee’s marketing budget is limited this year, so the person in charge there hopes you can use your popularity to boost Yiyang Coffee, saving on marketing costs."
Lin City is the main market for the dostic coffee industry?!
Chen Yiyang really didn’t know about this.
In his view, coffee, as a bourgeois beverage, being popular in Shanghai, Shancheng, and even the Imperial Capital is normal.
What’s the deal with Lin City?
Chen Yiyang asked his assistant to bring the docunts. Only after he looked did he realize Lin City’s coffee market for the first ti.
In China, Yunnan is the coffee-producing region, while Shanghai has the most coffee shops.
Shanghai has a total of eight thousand coffee shops, the most in the country.
The city with the second-largest number of coffee shops in the country is Shancheng, with over seven thousand coffee shops.
Compared to these two cities, Lin City has only three thousand coffee shops.
But don’t forget, both Shanghai and Shancheng are ga-cities with populations exceeding ten million.
While Lin City only has six million people.
So, when calculating by population, Shanghai has one coffee shop per every three thousand people, while Lin City has one per every two thousand people.
Moreover, Lin City’s coffee shops are mostly small, boutique coffee shops, with fewer chain coffee shops.
This makes Lin City the best city for small coffee brands to gain notoriety.
If one can establish a presence in Lin City, they can make a na for themselves in the coffee industry.
It is precisely because Lin City’s coffee market is so important that they hope Chen Yiyang can use his fa to help Yiyang Coffee sell there.
Given the circumstances, Chen Yiyang decided to make the trip.
With dostic transportation being convenient, he figured he might as well bring along the junior accountant for what would effectively be a tourist trip.
So, after preparing for two days, Chen Yiyang, along with the junior accountant and several assistants, flew directly to Lin City.
Chen Yiyang didn’t know many people in Lin City, so he booked a hotel and checked in.
Soone like him traveling dostically can’t keep a low profile.
So not long after landing, the assistant inford him that local leaders heard he was there and wished to et to discuss investnt opportunities.
"Tell them I’m on a personal trip, intending to tour and relax here, so for now, I’m not considering discussing official business."
"Okay." The assistant nodded and responded as Chen Yiyang instructed.
After arriving in Lin City, Chen Yiyang felt firsthand why it was called a sumr resort.
Although Lin City’s climate can’t compete with nearby Kunming, the entire city is quite unique.
Like Shancheng, Lin City is also a three-dinsional city.
But compared to Shancheng, Lin City is surrounded by picturesque mountains and waters, like stepping into a bonsai gallery.
After having a al in Lin City with the foodie junior accountant, they chatted with so locals.
Chen Yiyang ca to understand why Lin City could have such a high density of coffee shops.
It’s because the people of Lin City are willing to spend on food and drink.
While chatting, people often simply categorize Huaxia people as either northerners or southerners.
But actually, customs and habits vary widely even within the north and south.
This is especially evident among migrant workers.
For example, migrant workers from so places are very thrifty with food, preferring to save money to buy a house back ho rather than eating healthily.
But workers from other places are willing to spend generously on food, seeking out delicacies whenever they have the chance.
Lin City belongs to the latter.
The locals value socializing and enjoy a slow-paced life.
Coupled with their love for spending on food and drink, coffee shops where people can sit, slowly sip coffee, and chat are very popular.
The local person in charge of Yiyang Coffee, Zhang Dongsen, also explained to Chen Yiyang, "Mr. Chen, don’t underestimate Lin City.
Just this May at the World Coffee Brewing Competition, our local Peng Jinyang directly won the championship.
This is the first champion from Huaxia in this competition, and also the first for Lin City.
Lin City people not only love drinking coffee, but the coffee roasting, production, and other industries have also ford an industrial chain here.
This has led to a strong coffee beverage culture from the ground up in Lin City.
So, the still sowhat niche brand Yiyang Coffee hopes to make its na in Lin City.
"Got it," said Chen Yiyang after understanding the situation. "I’ll be there the day after tomorrow for the opening of Yiyang Coffee’s new shop as the first custor."
"That’s great." Zhang Dongsen quickly expressed his gratitude.
After all, Yiyang Coffee is just a minor business under Chen Yiyang’s na, and having him personally endorse it would make it easier to request budgets from the parent company in the future.
After making the decision, Chen Yiyang returned to the hotel with the junior accountant.
The next morning, he received a tip-off.
