Jinhai Ye Family.
Today, the Ye Family held a family meeting, and Ye Jingyi among others all gathered at Ye Jianchang's villa.
"The reason I have called everyone here today," Ye Jianchang began as everyone arrived, "is to discuss something important. As soon as our family's Yunshang Lurong hit the market, it became wildly popular, with orders pouring in from various malls."
"Oh, that's great news!"
"Yes, it's fantastic! Our family is truly going to turn a new leaf this time!"
The members of the Ye Family expressed their excitement in surprised exclamations.
Ye Jingyi sat in the corner; she glanced at Ye Jianchang and couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt. The secret recipe had been given to them by Jiang Chen, but now it had become the Ye Family's own. Not only had they not paid him a dime, but the Ye Family members also took it for granted.
"However, there's a bit of trouble," Ye
Jianchang raised his hand to signal for silence: "Liying Cosmetics is still too small, and the existing production capacity of our family's pharmaceutical factory is already at full stretch. We can't keep up with the demand for Yunshang Lurong from the stores.
There are now many copycat products on the market that, although not as effective as ours, are still snatching away a lot of customers due to the high market demand.
So, I called everyone here today to discuss whether we should build a separate production base for Yunshang Lurong or acquire another pharmaceutical factory to dedicate solely to this product. What do you think?"
"That's feasible!"
"I agree!"
"I'm in agreement too! Yunshang Lurong is now the main source of our family's income; it's essential to have a dedicated production base."
"Exactly, the customers they've snatched away are our money; we have to increase production to win them back."
All the Ye Family members agreed with this proposal.
"Good, since everyone agrees with this suggestion, we now face a problem," Ye Jianchang spoke again: "Our family's funds are somewhat lacking right now. Whether it's building a new factory or acquiring one, both require significant capital, which we cannot afford at the moment. I'm thinking, should we seek help from Jincheng's main family?"
"No way!" Grandma Ye opposed immediately: "Jianchang, that's not an option. What if the main family asks for the secret recipe once we seek their help? Can we refuse to give it? By then, Yunshang Lurong will no longer belong to the Jinhai Ye Family!"
Everyone reacted suddenly, realizing that's right! They couldn't let the main family get involved!
Thus, the Ye Family members unanimously expressed their opposition.
Ye Jianchang pondered for a moment, realizing that indeed, if the main family came to know of it, it was very possible that they would seize the opportunity to demand the secret recipe.
"Family Head, we can look for Sihai Company to invest! Didn't Sihai originally invest in Liying because of Yunshang Lurong? Now, if we approach them to invest in a factory dedicated to producing Yunshang Lurong, they should agree!" one of the Ye Family members suggested.
Ye Jianchang was taken aback; yes, they could seek Sihai.
"That's a great idea!"
"Sihai will definitely invest!"
All the Ye Family members also supported this suggestion enthusiastically.
"Family Head, let me go, I am certain to bring back the contract!"
"Let me do it, I will surely succeed!"
The Ye Family members began to jostle for the opportunity to go to Sihai to negotiate the contract, clearly seeing it as a certain credit to their name.
Ye Jingyi swept her gaze over everyone, yet she didn't speak up. She was well aware that such a fortunate task would not fall to a family member of her lowly status.
Ye Jianchang frowned and swept his gaze across everyone, feeling somewhat displeased. He turned his head and gave his son a meaningful look.
Ye Tianming immediately understood and stood up to speak, "Dad, let me go. I will definitely bring back the investment contract."
"Alright, Tianming will go," Ye Jianchang immediately nodded in agreement.
Grandma Ye also nodded and said, "Yes, let Tianming go. Tianming will surely succeed."
The members of the Ye Family were stunned, casting dissatisfied glances at Ye Jianchang. This was clearly a way to give merit to Ye Tianming. However, since Ye Jianchang was the Family Head and even Grandma Ye had spoken, nobody could really object.
Once the matter was decided, Ye Tianming directly drove to Sihai Investment Company.
"Hello, sir. How can I assist you?" The receptionist at Sihai greeted Ye Tianming with a forced smile as he walked in.
Ye Tianming arrogantly replied, "I am from Liying Cosmetics. I'm here to see your Investment Department manager."
Liying Cosmetics had been decided for investment by Jiang Chen, and this was already well-known within Sihai Company. Upon hearing it was someone from Liying Cosmetics, the receptionist immediately responded with respect, "Please wait in the reception room. I will notify Manager Wang of the Investment Department right away."
"Good, make it quick," Ye Tianming said, seeing the receptionist's respectful attitude. He gestured dismissively and made his way into the reception room.
The receptionist, daring not to be negligent, returned to the reception desk and dialed the internal line to Wang Maode's office.
"Hello!"
"Manager Wang, someone from Liying Cosmetics is here asking for you, currently in the reception room!"
"Liying Cosmetics? I'll be right there!"
Upon hearing that someone from Liying Cosmetics had arrived, Wang Maode immediately hung up the phone and rushed to the reception room.
When he opened the door to the reception room, Wang Maode was taken aback. He had thought Ye Jingyi, Jiang Chen's wife, would be the visitor, but instead, it was a young man he didn't recognize.
"Hello, I am the Investment Department Manager Wang Maode, and you are...?" Wang Maode asked, looking at Ye Tianming with confusion.
Ye Tianming stood up, extending his hand, "Hello, Manager Wang. I am Ye Tianming, the direct descendant of the Ye Family and the current person in charge of Liying Cosmetics."
"The current person in charge of Liying Cosmetics?" Wang Maode was puzzled for a moment, shook hands with Ye Tianming, sat down on the couch, and asked softly, "Mr. Ye, what brings you here?"
Ye Tianming smiled, "Well, our family's Yunshang Lurong is very popular right now, so we plan to build or acquire a specialized production base for producing Yunshang Lurong. This is also for the benefit of both our families, as there are so many copycat products on the market right now. We plan to increase production and win back customers from them. However, we are a bit short on funds and would like to ask for your investment. This would be a win-win situation!"
Wang Maode was stunned. They were seeking investment? Liying's investment had been personally approved by the president, and the former person in charge was the president's wife; investment was naturally no issue, but... the person in charge had changed, what was going on?
"Please wait, let me check," Wang Maode did not promise anything rashly, as investing in a production base wasn't a small amount. Additionally, this involved the president's wife, and he couldn't just make a casual commitment.
"Sure!" Ye Tianming nodded, confidently waiting.
Wang Maode stood up and moved to the side to call Jiang Chen.
"President, someone from Liying Cosmetics is here. They're asking us to invest in a specialized production base for Yunshang Lurong. Your thoughts...?"
Jiang Chen was in his office, his brow furrowing in confusion. Ye Jingyi hadn't mentioned this to him.
"Who is the visitor?" Jiang Chen asked with a frown.
"It's the person in charge of Liying Cosmetics, named Ye Tianming."
Jiang Chen's expression turned cold:
"Tell him to get lost!"
