“This must be Miss Qing’s husband, Young Master Ye, right? Young Master Ye is such a demonic talent, emerging unharmed from a car accident — that surely forebodes tremendous fortune! Miss Qing, rest assured, Young Master Ye will definitely wake up!”
General Song Pa, upon noticing Qing Ruolan’s gaze towards Ye Fan, quickly extended his hand towards Ye Fan, “Young Master Ye, I’ve long admired you!”
General Song Pa shook Ye Fan’s hand vigorously, his eyes blazing with intensity as he looked at him.
In those eyes were gratitude, admiration, and submission!
Towards Ye Fan, General Song Pa was truly convinced.
Back when he was in the Southwest Border Area, Ye Fan, still just a young man, had shown remarkable composure, and crucially, had swept through tens of thousands of troops alone, as if entering an uninhabited land.
When he was slaughtering those drug traffickers, his strategy, skill, and methods all lived up to the title of a monstrous talent.
“Miss Qing, you made such a decision in front of so many people, truly a female hero, making Song Pa feel ashamed and utmost admiration! Miss Qing will also surely have tremendous fortune in the future…”
Song Pa didn’t skimp on his praises, showering both Ye Fan and Qing Ruolan with compliments. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Qing Ruolan, somewhat embarrassed by the praise, responded, “General Song Pa is too polite. It was all that I should do. Please, come inside!”
“Miss Qing, Young Master Ye, after you!”
General Song Pa gestured for Qing Ruolan and Ye Fan to proceed, and only after seeing Ye Fan move did Song Pa follow a step behind, heading towards the hall together.
Sun Desheng was left kneeling alone on the ground, his thoughts in disarray.
No…
The one accompanying General Song Pa into the main hall now, shouldn’t it be him?
He had labored throughout most of last night, tending to every need, just for the purpose of demonstrating in front of all these people today the close relationship he had with General Song Pa, to reclaim some face for the Sun Family, right?
How did it end up with him making a wedding dress for someone else again?
“General Song Pa… You…”
Sun Desheng tried to stand up and call out to General Song Pa, but Maid Nan Sheng by Ye Fan’s side had no qualms about scolding him, “Looking for death, aren’t you? Keep crawling!”
Nan Sheng’s scolding caused General Song Pa to glance their way.
Realizing that the Martial Arts Qi emanating from the four maids, including Nan Sheng, was at the Grandmaster Realm, General Song Pa couldn’t help but silently wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Thank goodness!
He had very nearly, just by the smallest margin, been led astray by Sun Desheng.
If he had really announced today that the jade agency rights would be given to the Sun Family, he would have completely offended both the Qing and the Ye Families.
With the Ye Family’s current powerful foundation, how could there be any good outcome from offending them?
Qing Ruolan accompanied General Song Pa as they sat down in the main seats of the hall, and the place instantly quieted down.
Everyone had thought that today’s agency rights had already been decided for the Sun Family. Your journey continues with
But now, from General Song Pa’s recent words, everyone could tell that General Song Pa wanted to form an alliance with the Qing Family. That implication was already very clear, could the agency rights for today be falling into the hands of the Qing Family?
But what does the Qing Family have to their credit?
“General Song Pa, allow me to introduce myself! I am from the Southwest Xu Family, engaged in the jewelry business for many years, and have very extensive channels…”
A middle-aged man stood up and began to introduce himself to General Song Pa, “If General Song Pa entrusts the agency rights to me, I guarantee to increase the sales several times over compared to before!”
“Indeed! My Yang Family can do it too, our brick-and-mortar stores are the most numerous in the entire Southwestern Region, and our distribution channels are more mature, incomparable to those small families!”
Once someone had started, the people below began introducing the strengths of their own companies one after another, all wanting to seize the jade agency rights for themselves.
After all, obtaining the total agency rights from General Song Pa in Great Xia would mean handling a business scale of at least a hundred billion, with profits starting from several tens of billions. If sales reached several hundred billion, then just the profits could be over a hundred billion.
More crucially, holding these agency rights in hand also represented a status and control of connections.
General Song Pa looked indifferently at the crowd, and after several had spoken and their voices died down, he raised his hand, “Ladies and gentlemen! There’s no need to waste time, I truly appreciate everyone coming to attend today’s investment meeting! However, I have already decided on the allocation of the jade agency rights, for the next ten years, all will be represented by Qing’s Jewelry, all jade-related business dealings behind Song Pa in Great Xia will be fully managed by the Qing Corporation!”
“Ah?” When Qing Ruolan heard Song Pa’s words, her pupils dilated in shock.
Though Qing Ruolan had already guessed such an outcome from Song Pa’s earlier remarks, when Song Pa officially announced the result, she still found it somewhat surreal.
“Moreover, there needs to be a change regarding the profits,” General Song Pa continued to add.
Qing Ruolan had no objections, “I agree, the previous agency profit sharing was thirty percent, the Qing Family can accept twenty or even ten percent.”
Qing Ruolan came today to seek an opportunity primarily to resolve the issue of the Qing Family’s supply chain disruption.
As long as she could fix the Qing Family’s supply problem, preventing their supplies from being cut off by the Ye Family’s competitors, let alone maintaining some profits, even if there were none, Qing Ruolan was willing.
Besides, even if it was only ten percent profit share, that would still be a scale of over ten billion.
The representatives from the other families below watched enviously, yet they were helpless!
“Miss Qing, you misunderstand! The profit change I’m talking about isn’t about reducing the agency’s profits, but from now on, the profit sharing will be fifty-fifty, or maybe forty-sixty, with Miss Qing taking sixty percent!” General Song Pa said, his gaze shifting to Ye Fan at the side, observing the changes in Ye Fan’s expression.
“Of course, if Miss Qing temporarily has issues with capital, I am willing to forego profits temporarily!”
General Song Pa was afraid that his offer would displease Ye Fan, who, if upset, could create trouble for him.
Originally, Song Pa had granted the agency rights to Qing Ruolan as a way of repaying a debt of gratitude; he intended to carry out the deed beautifully.
“Ah? Fifty-fifty share… General Song Pa, this…” Qing Ruolan, excited, stood up, looking at General Song Pa with some incomprehension.
Hiss!
Even the less perceptive representatives below could see that something was amiss.
There must have been some relationship between General Song Pa, Ye Fan, and Qing Ruolan that the others were unaware of.
Because what General Song Pa had decided was already violating business norms; why conduct business if not for profits?
Song Pa glanced at Ye Fan, knowing that if he didn’t provide an explanation, there would be all kinds of wild speculations, even guessing at his relationship with Qing Ruolan.
“I’m not joking! To be honest, I have some history with Young Master Ye. Five years ago, Young Master Ye saved my life in the Border Region, and since Miss Qing is Young Master Ye’s wife, it is my honor to cooperate with her!”
Whew!
With Song Pa’s explanation, Qing Ruolan immediately let go of her concerns.
Is that how it was?
Qing Ruolan thought back to what Ye Fan had said the day before, about how the jade agency rights would definitely be hers. Could it be that at that time, Ye Fan already knew?
Ye Fan had woken up?
Hmph!
That damn rascal, if Missy finds out he dared to deceive me, he’ll have it coming…
