Insufficient balance

  Gongsun Jian's eyes were burning with enthusiasm, but Ye Yizhe still shook his head and said: "You can handle this kind of thing on your own, there's no need to drag me into it. I grew up in the High Plains Province, but my knowledge of this aspect is absolutely not as good as those who have operated Tibetan jewelry stores in the High Plains Province. You would be better off seeking their cooperation."

  "Uh," Gong Sun Jian said with a hint of helplessness, "Actually, I just want to use your reputation, the reputation of Zhe Yang's successor."

  Gongsun Jian explained, "You may not be very clear about the mindset of today's rich people. For them, buying things is not a problem with money; the more expensive it is, the more face they have. This 'face' can dispel all thoughts. And your role is to satisfy their 'face'."

  Ye Yizhe nodded, seemingly understanding and not understanding. Gong Sunjian continued: "The successor of Zheyang's transmission, the thing that speaks for itself, I can say that even if this thing is fake, they are willing to pay a high price to buy it. This is the rich man now, especially those who believe in Buddhism in the Gao Yuan Province. Recently, many rich people have emerged, and I believe they will not refuse such things, no matter how high the price is. What I need is your identity, what you need is my channel. All factory personnel will be provided by me, and the overall investment will not be very large, but the returns may be thousands or even tens of thousands of times higher. The interest chain involved, I dare to guarantee that every year it will not be less than several billion. And for you, I can give you 20% of the shares, and you can get dividends from them every year."

  Even if it's 20%, according to his words, there are tens of billions of assets every year. Although they are fixed assets, the actual circulating ones may only be one or two billion. However, even so, Gong Sunjian's handwriting is not small in anyone's eyes. It doesn't need Ye Yizhe to do anything, just stand up and say that this is my territory, then take the dividend and leave. In Gong Sunjian's view, Ye Yizhe has no reason to refuse, nor should he have any reason to refuse.

  But Ye Yizhe unexpectedly shook his head.

  Gongsun Jian was taken aback, and after a moment of contemplation, he said: "If Brother Ye is dissatisfied with the share being too small, this can be negotiated. Three-tenths would also work, but it cannot be more than that. If it's any more, my family won't agree to it. After all, the Gongsun Family cannot make clothes for others for nothing. I hope Brother Ye can understand."

  "Two successes is already a lot, I didn't mean it that way."

  Ye Yizhe shook his head and said, "Faced with such a huge profit, it's impossible to say that one is not tempted. Brother Gongsun has already been very generous, I understand, and even if the Gongsun family directly publicizes that I'm joining forces, my humble self wouldn't be able to refute anything. Brother Gongsun can still earn these profits without having to share a cup of soup with anyone else. You're able to discuss this matter with me, which has already given me enough face. Logically speaking, I shouldn't refuse."

  "What's the reason for that?" Gong Sun Jian asked, puzzled.

  Even if someone doesn't care about money, having it or not is irrelevant to him. In his opinion, he won't refuse such a thing. If every year you are given hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars in dividends without asking you to do anything against your conscience, this amount of money is nothing for the Gong Sun family. Without this channel, Gong Sun Jian has maintained the liquidity of the Gong Sun family at around 10 billion over the years, and the benefit chain driven by it has reached tens of billions. For the entire Gong Sun family, it's indeed not a big deal. Firstly, he discovered this business opportunity after learning about Ye Yizhe's identity. Secondly, he also wanted to make friends with Ye Yizhe. After Feng Tian Nan's death, the Qing Bang will inevitably decline, and the four major factions will rise to power sooner or later. He is betting that Feng Si Niang can occupy a place in this sensitive time. By giving dividends to Ye Yizhe, he believes that Feng Si Niang can also feel his sincerity, thus killing two birds with one stone.

  Moreover, he also heard that Ye Yizhe had a relationship with Li Hu of the Tiger Head Gang. Although it's unclear whether this is true or not, for businessmen, they generally have the personality of believing in its existence rather than risking offending someone they can't afford to mess with and ruining their life. It was precisely because of this that he cautiously considered the matter and resolutely raised his psychological price from 20% to 30%.

  He had thought of every possible outcome, but he never expected Ye Yizhe to refuse.

  "There's really no problem here, it's just a matter of one sentence," Ye Yizhe also stood up and sincerely looked at Gong Sunjian and said, "But Master has always disliked me being tied to these benefit chains. For this matter, I need to contact Master."

  "Master Zhe Yang?" Gong Sun Jian hadn't expected this reason for refusal and was momentarily stunned.

  Ye Yizhe nodded and said, "To me, Master is not only my master but also my family. He has been taking care of me since I was young, so I must listen to his words. If Master agrees, then I have no opinion. I hope Gong Sun can understand."

  "Alright!" Gong Sun Jian showed his authority at this time, "As long as Master Zhe Yang agrees, then Brother Ye you can contact me anytime, and this door will be open for you anytime!"

  Even if he can't kill two birds with one stone, making Feng Si Niang feel his sincerity has already achieved a goal.

  But what Gong Sun Jian did not expect was that this snowball would eventually become so big that he could no longer control it.

  "Come on, come on, let's eat first."

  Let's not talk about this topic anymore, Gong Sun Jian directly called out to Ye Yizhe.

  Next, Gong Sun Jian only introduced some scenery of Jiangzhou and talked about some interesting stories of the Gong Sun family, so as not to make the dinner party awkward. In such an atmosphere, Ye Yizhe didn't feel anything, and outside it was almost 10 o'clock.

  Gongsun Jian glanced at his watch, as if he had just come to a realization, and looked at Ye Yizhe with a hint of embarrassment: "It's already ten o'clock, and the sky is getting late too. Ye younger brother, let's follow local customs, I'll take you out for some fun?"

  At this time, Ye Yizhe noticed that the watch Gong Sun Jian was wearing did not match his entire person at all. He was dressed in unknown brand-name clothes that were obviously very valuable, but on his wrist he wore a Casio electronic watch that could be bought for several hundred yuan on any street corner, and it was an old model from many years ago.

  Jian Yi looked at his wrist with a puzzled expression, and Gong Sun Jian said with a hint of nostalgia: "This watch was bought by myself when I was still in elementary school, using my first earnings. I've been wearing it until today."

  "I see." Ye Yizhe nodded in understanding, but in his heart, he couldn't help but admire these aristocratic families. Even when they were playing with mud in elementary school, they had already thought about making money. It's undeniable that early childhood education is very important.

  "Never mind that. I know a few newly opened bars are pretty good, shall we go have a few drinks?" Gong Sun Jian said, seemingly not wanting to bring up the topic again and instead continuing from their previous conversation.

  Yi Zhe shook his head and said, "No, it's getting late, I have to go back. I've played a few times in Jiangzhou at night, it's really fun, next time I'll definitely go out with Brother Gong Sun."

  Gongsun Jian suddenly slapped his forehead, looking enlightened, and said to Ye Yizhe: "Look at my memory, I forgot that with the accompaniment of Feng Siniang, many places have already been visited. You say this isn't gilding the lily? Next time, next time I'll definitely give Brother an opportunity to be the host."

  "Uh-huh."

  Ye Yizhe said and got up to bid farewell, refusing Gong Sunjian's escort, walked out the door and took a taxi.

  Gongsun Jian was sitting in the private room, lost in thought.

  Ye Yizhe didn't go back to school as Gong Sunjian had thought, but instead got off at the entrance of Fudan University and took a taxi again, heading straight to Fangfei. He was holding the diamond card that Gong Sunjian had stuffed into his hand, which was said to be usable in all high-end clubs in Jiangzhou. It was during dinner when Gong Sunjian asked him to hand over his ID so that his underlings could process it on the spot, and it was also registered under Gong Sunjian's name. In other words, any consumption Ye Yizhe made at those places would be recorded under his name.

  Looking at the black card, Ye Yizhe smiled lightly. Such a move was indeed something that only their kind of family could make. The value of this card alone was probably not less than ten million. It seemed he really wanted to win him over.

  Gongsun Jian wouldn't know that Zhe Yang would never oppose any of Ye Yizhe's decisions, just like the time Ye Yizhe urinated on Buddha's head and Zhe Yang didn't get angry, so why would he make a fuss over such a small matter?

  Yi Zhe went over what had happened at night from start to finish and fell into deep thought.
