Chapter 502 - 500: The Big Workshop
Zhou Biyao had long since stopped her work and stared wide-eyed, listening attentively to Ye Xinyan and Jiang Yifan’s conversation. Hearing this outcome, she was greatly surprised. Could things really be done this way? She knew it, following Sister Qi was the right decision—such an eye-opener!
Sister Qi, in all her glory, had just taken control of a money-making venture. This, this, this, was it not a complete overturning of the world’s common beliefs? Wasn’t such dogged pursuit of silver a very unrefined thing to do?
Ye Xinyan explained to Jiang Yifan, "Lord Jiang is mistaken. To take over this portion of the profits, a large investment is needed. When the machinery is introduced, we must gradually cover the entire construction market, rendering others powerless to replicate the idea. Although I am indeed a money lover, I am not capable of digesting such an amount of silver on my own."
"Uh." Zhou Biyao almost spoke out, but was immediately silenced by a glare from Ye Xinyan.
"To speak frankly, what is needed is a substantial amount of financial input to set up a large machinery workshop, specifically for manufacturing all sorts of machinery. Such a huge workshop naturally requires financial investment to build. If Sixth Master is interested, then he should consider investing a share." Ye Xinyan looked at Jiang Yifan with a smile and continued, "Lord Jiang’s family is quite wealthy, so would you also consider taking a twenty percent share?"
Jiang Yifan was momentarily dazzled by Ye Xinyan’s cunning smile. Could talking about money be so endearing, so wonderful?
Seeing Jiang Yifan staring blankly without response for a long time, Ye Xinyan withdrew her smile and asked indifferently, "What is Lord Jiang considering? Are you hesitating whether or not to invest, hesitating for Sixth Master, or do you simply not fancy my business venture and fear losing your capital?"
Zhou Biyao was nearly out of breath from the shock—how quickly Sister Qi could change her demeanor! It was astonishing!
