"Hmm, Uncle Nie, this house is nice, but such a big house must not come cheap, right?"
Ye Luo said with a smile.
"This villa is indeed not cheap, the total value reaches one hundred million, but if you like it, you wonât have to pay a cent," Nie Yuntian said.
Ye Luo looked astonished and quickly shook his head, "How can that be acceptable?"
"Thereâs nothing unacceptable about it. You saved me and my two daughters, if not for you, the three of us might no longer be here. Whatâs the use of having all the money in the world? So, this villa represents my gratitude towards you. If you donât accept it, then youâre not considering me a friend."
"How could that be? Uncle Nie, youâre overthinking it. Since you insist, I will graciously accept your kind offer. If you ever need me, Ye Luo, just reach out," Ye Luo said.
"Alright then, I will have someone take care of all the paperwork for the house. You can move in directly. The house is already furnished, and as for what else you need, it will be up to your own choice," Nie Yuntian said lightly.
"Big Brother Ye, this place is so luxurious," Miao Xiaoling said, looking around the villa with a face full of amazement.
"From now on, this will be your home. Letâs go to Mei Yue now, to let them know, and then you can all move in in a few days," Ye Luo said.
At Meiyue Company, in Luo Jingxuanâs office, a figure sat in front of herâthe somewhat plump man who Alice bumped into at the airport yesterday, with several men in black suits and sunglasses standing behind him.
"President Zhu, this time Zhu Group sent you over to discuss a potential partnership with us. What kind of partnership would you like to discuss?" Luo Jingxuan asked, looking at the man in front of her. This man was Zhu Fuchang, the brother of Zhu Fugui, the chairman of the Zhu Corporation, the leading titan in the Northâs cosmetic industry.
Zhu Fuchang looked at Luo Jingxuan, his gaze flickering slightly, "President Luo, your company is rapidly rising in the Huaxia cosmetics industry, and is already quite a force to be reckoned with."
"Meiyue Companyâs three products are especially popular with the masses, but as you are aware, our Zhu Group has a strong foothold in the cosmetic industry in the North."
"Once your products enter the North, they will inevitably affect the performance of our Zhu Group. And now, due to our Zhu Groupâs interference, your Meiyue products have had difficulty penetrating the North market, losing such a large market is also a loss for your Meiyue."
Luo Jingxuanâs eyes focused on Zhu Fuchang and she said directly, "President Zhu, state your purpose."
"In order to benefit both parties and make money, my elder brother thought of partnering with your Meiyue. We agree to let your products be sold in the North market, however, our Zhu Group will handle all the sales, and the profit distribution will be seventy-thirty," Zhu Fuchang said, a cunning glint in his eyes.
"Seventy-thirty? Us seventy, you thirty?" Luo Jingxuan couldnât help saying.
"President Luo, you really have a sense of humor. The seventy is ours, and you get the thirty!" Zhu Fuchang said with a corner of his mouth curling into a smile.
Suddenly, Luo Jingxuanâs expression changed, and a chill flickered in her eyes, "You must be joking, President Zhu."
"Why would I be? I think this distribution is quite fair," Zhu Fuchang said nonchalantly.
Bang!
Luo Jingxuan slammed her hand on the table and stood up, staring at Zhu Fuchang, "President Zhu, it seems to me that you have no real intention of negotiating a partnership."
"For our products, from production to transportation, to marketing, all the expenses involved, as industry peers, you should know well. Yet, youâre only handling the sales and asking for seventy percent of the profits, leaving us with thirty. Do you want Meiyue to make money for you for free?"
"President Luo, you must understand something, if you donât cooperate with us, the Zhu Family, Meiyueâs products simply cannot be sold in the North. When you lose such a huge market, you should be clear about how much youâre going to lose,"
"Although cooperating with us only gives you thirty percent, but I think youâre not making a small amount from that. If President Zhu doesnât cherish this opportunity, next time youâll want to cooperate with us it will be impossible," Zhu Fuchang said with an arrogant look.
Luo Jingxuanâs face turned sour as she looked at the other party, spat out, "I just canât believe that your Zhu Family can cover the sky with one hand in the North."
"Donât believe it? You can try. Although our Zhu Family canât cover the sky with one hand in the North, the strength accumulated by our Zhu family over a hundred years is enough to easily deal with your Meiyue."
"Giving you thirty percent is out of respect for you. Otherwise, at most you would have only had ten percent. Just based on your startup company, relying on a few products to compete with our Zhu Family, is simply daydreaming," Zhu Fuchang said with a look of contempt.
"You..." Luo Jingxuan was so angered that her face turned beet red, looking extremely unpleasant.
Bang!
Suddenly, the office door was flung open, and Ye Luo walked in with his people.
"Itâs you!"
Zhu Fuchangâs expression tensed as he saw Ye Luo, his eyes flashing a cold glint, and said coldly, "Good lad, I didnât expect to catch you again."
"So youâre the one from the Zhu Group, daring to speak so arrogantly to my aunt. It seems I should have given you a good slapping yesterday," Ye Luo looked at Zhu Fuchang coldly, having heard everything the other party said.
"Oh, so President Luo is your aunt!" As Zhu Fuchang spoke, his eyes swept over Luo Jingxuan, and then he directly commanded, "President Luo, Iâve decided that in our cooperation, Meiyue will only hold a twenty percent stake, we, the Zhu Family, will take the eighty percent."
"You..." Luo Jingxuanâs face turned extremely ugly, and Ye Luo stepped forward in a flash, throwing a straight punch.
"Eight percent my head!"
With one punch, Ye Luo knocked Zhu Fuchang to the ground, fresh blood pouring out from both nostrils.
"Bastard, get him, I want to cripple this guy!" Zhu Fuchang yelled furiously while clutching his nose. The men in suits and sunglasses beside him exuded a cold aura and charged at Ye Luo.
Bang, bang, bang!
In the blink of an eye, this group of men was laid out on the floor, all lying there groaning, completely powerless to resist.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Fuchangâs face changed drastically, looking at Ye Luo with a shocked expression.
"Werenât you going to cripple me? Now Iâm standing right here, how do you want to cripple me?" Ye Luo walked up to Zhu Fuchang, his eyes flickering with a cold light.
"What do you want to do?" Seeing Ye Luo approaching, Zhu Fuchangâs face changed.
"Ye Luo, donât be impulsive!" Luo Jingxuan quickly held onto Ye Luo. She knew this guy would throw punches without a second thought, and if Zhu Fuchang got hurt, it would be troublesome.
