Chapter 64 Remarkable Tactics
Skyler naturally knew about the sharing economy. It was the hottest business at the moment.
He looked at Skyview with bright eyes, deep in thought.
Skyview said, "I've already combined Lakeview Express with the sharing economy to create a brand-new business model."
"A brand-new business model?" Skyler asked. "What is it?"
Skyview replied, "I've recently acquired a lot of land. You know that, Mr. Everett, right?"
Skyler was aware of Skyview's recent land purchases, but they were all small plots, barely enough to build a restroom. He thought it was just a young man's impulsive decision.
But now it seemed that Skyview had another purpose!
"Mr. Scott, is your land acquisition related to your new business model?" Skyler asked.
"That's right," Skyview said, "Mr. Everett, you should know that online shopping has become a daily routine for many households. However, there's a challenge in the delivery process: most people have to work and can't stay home 24/7 to receive packages. Although there are some scattered pickup points like supermarkets, they are not very effective. I acquired these lands to build shared lockers near residential areas!"
"Shared lockers?" Skyler was shocked.
He thought Skyview's idea seemed wild but also highly feasible.
Skyview confidently said, "Shared lockers can utilize limited public land resources to build sturdy metal safes. If customers are not available to receive packages, they can choose to have the courier place the package in the locker. Customers can then retrieve it by scanning a code. Retrieval within 24 hours is free, but there's a charge after that. They can also store their items in the lockers for a fee based on time! This business model can synergize with my courier company, promoting its growth. Tied together with the courier company, it's a very promising business project!"
"Can this really make money?" Skyler hesitated.
Skyview laughed. "Mr. Everett, you must have heard of bike-sharing. Do you think bike-sharing makes money?"
Skyler immediately understood.
Skyview, full of ambition, said, "Making money slowly is too tiring. I'll take this shared locker business model public to raise funds quickly. That's the best way to make money! If bike-sharing can rake in cash, so can I. Unlike bike-sharing, which is just a shell game, I have a courier company and the Twin Group behind me, which will gain investors' trust even more!"
Skyler's eyes lit up. He could already see the vast business prospects.
"I have to admit that the current era belongs to young people like you. Your ability to innovate is far superior to that of us old folks!" Skyler couldn't help but exclaim.
Skyview calmly said, "But the progress of young people also relies on the support of industry veterans. I have a funding gap and need a capable person to invest. Making money together is more enjoyable. Don't you think so, Mr. Everett?"
Skyview's implication was clear. That was, he wanted Skyler's investment.
If it were anyone else asking for investment, Skyler wouldn't even give them a second glance.
But Skyview was different.
After a round of negotiation with Skyview, Skyler was impressed by Skyview's capabilities.
'Behind Skyview was a billion-dollar fortune, the Twin Group, and Lakeview Express!
'Plus, with the current buzz around the sharing economy, even shared goldfish could make a fortune. Shared lockers could definitely make a lot of money as well.
'This was a surefire business! Making a few billion dollars was no problem!' After a brief pondering, Skyler was tempted!
"It's time to invest in young people!" Skyler said, "I have some funds..."
Skyview said with difficulty, "Unfortunately, Jack is still at large. I'm afraid he'll cause trouble for my Lakeview Express, so..." He didn't finish his sentence but heaved a sigh.
Skyler understood Skyview's meaning.
If he wanted to invest in Skyview's project, he had to offer Jack as a token of loyalty!
'In the face of enormous profits, Jack is nothing,' thought Skyler.
He made his choice in less than a second.
Although Skyler had some feelings for Jack's mother, he thought to himself that he had supported Jack for so many years, which was enough to repay Jack's mother! Now, it was time for Jack to repay him!
"To be honest, Jack didn't go abroad. I once had a passionate relationship with Jack's mother, but for some reason, I let her down. After she passed away, I felt a need to compensate Jack, so I wanted to protect him!" Skyler said grimly, "But Jack has gone too far and must be brought to justice! From now on, he is no longer my godson!"
After saying that, Skyler ordered his men, "Bring Jack out and hand him over to Mr. Scott!"
Although his men were shocked, they obeyed. In less than two minutes, Jack was dragged out.
"Father, help me!" Jack was desperate. He already knew his fate. "I don't want to go to jail. Please, let me go!"
Skyler coldly said, "I warned you long ago, but you didn't heed my advice. From now on, I will leave you alone. You are in Mr. Scott's hands now!"
After saying that, Skyler didn't look at Jack again but instead looked at Skyview with a flattering expression. Now, Skyview was the source of Skyler's wealth!
Skyview just got what he wanted so easily!
Lily's eyes sparkled with admiration!
She was amazed by Skyview's tactics!
