Chapter 1172 - 1217: Family Bliss
Park Sung-ho’s business proposition involved shipping a large quantity of Australian Iron Ore to Huaxia, with a contract signed for a whole year’s worth.
This meant that Li Yifei had secured a year’s worth of shipping contracts to work on from the very beginning, ensuring that the newly opened business wouldn’t struggle to find deals. For a shipping company, this was absolutely great news.
The negotiation of this deal was carried out by a team from the Australian Iron Ore company, but upon contact with them, Li Yifei could tell that these people were strictly business-minded and knew nothing of any mysterious organization.
This also implied that those recruited by the organization were top figures in their fields, not just anybody could join it—indeed, an average person becoming part of that organization wouldn’t reach important positions, or might not even be clear about which organization they were serving.
Therefore, besides having the opportunity to interact with the person in charge of the Australian Iron Ore, Li Yifei had no other way to find out if he was associated with that organization.
In the following days, the contract was successfully negotiated, causing a wave of jubilation throughout the head office. This signaled that the shipping company could expect to see a net profit of nearly two hundred million a year, which, compared to Li Yifei’s ten billion in assets, wasn’t much. However, an annual profit of two hundred million for a single company indicated remarkable success.
Yet, Li Yifei didn’t derive much pleasure from doing business and earning money since it all came too easily, without the joy of a hard-won success.
He’d been arriving home late over the past few days and rarely had time for idle chats with his family. This weekend, Li Yifei finally had a chance to relax and took a morning stroll in the garden.
It was now November, the tail end of autumn, many trees in the yard had shed their leaves, which added a certain beauty to the scenery. Walking in the garden, stepping on the carpet of fallen leaves felt exceptionally charming.
Accompanying Li Yifei on his walk was Su Mengxin, whose belly had grown larger, slowing her pace. Li Yifei wrapped an arm around her waist, being extra cautious, and the two resembled any other sweet, normal couple.
