Chapter 121: Chapter 121: Building Your Own Team_1
Underneath the main building of Moscow University, Ruan Xiaozhu and her good friend Yanzi were looking around at the main entrance.
"What’s taking this kid so long? I’m going to rush him with a phone call." Ruan Xiaozhu, getting a bit impatient, said as she took out her phone.
"He should be here soon, he’s driving. It’s not convenient for him to answer calls, you’d better not rush him." Yanzi said, understandingly.
As they were speaking, a white SUV sped towards them from afar.
Both women quickly looked over, thinking that this should be Wang Ye’s car.
Sure enough, the car stopped in front of them, the window rolled down, revealing Wang Ye’s smiling face.
"Sister Xiaozhu, Sister Yanzi, hop in," he said enthusiastically.
Ruan Xiaozhu and Yanzi walked over, opened the back door and got into the car.
As Wang Ye drove, on the passenger’s seat sat Angelina, whom Ruan Xiaozhu had met before. They had even dined and chatted together once at Friendship University.
On the other hand, it was Yanzi’s first time meeting Angelina.
After getting into the car and exchanging a few pleasantries, Yanzi and Angelina were introduced to each other.
Wang Ye started the car and began to head towards the Xiao Ying Hotel.
Taking a look at the car’s interior décor, Ruan Xiaozhu joked, "Look at you, bro, you’re pretty much at the top of your game. Driving a luxury car, living in a mansion, even got a beautiful woman at your side, incredible!"
Her words were half true, half joking. In Ruan Xiaozhu’s heart, she was really quite impressed by her younger cousin.
He was really a go-getter!
Ruan Xiaozhu was quite familiar with Wang Ye’s family background.
Considering his current status, his family didn’t help much with financial matters, everything he got was by his own effort!
This was really impressive and difficult to do. Many of the so-called ’old hands’ in Moscow who had been around for many years, couldn’t compare with him.
Of course, Ruan Xiaozhu herself couldn’t compare with him either...
Wang Ye acted humble, "Not at all. I’m still a long way off. I’ve only achieved some minor success. I can’t say I’m successful, let alone at the top."
Ruan Xiaozhu rolled her eyes, "Oh, come on. Being excessively humble is just arrogance! By the way, what have you been up to recently? Have you finished your study abroad agency?"
She knew that Wang Ye ran a study abroad agency.
"Yes, that’s done. These days, I’ve been buying shops at the New Sun Market, you know that place," Wang Ye said casually, not hiding anything from her.
Ruan Xiaozhu was surprised, "You’re messing with big stores again? You seem to be involved in everything, meddling here and there. Selling phone cards, running a study abroad agency, and now buying shops for wholesaling?"
"Ha, I just follow where the money is. Also, I bought the shops not for wholesaling, but just to rent them out for a while. Later, when the price of the shops rises, I’ll sell it or make money from rent," Wang Ye laughed.
"Speculating on shops? How many did you buy? Few shops would be unprofitable, especially for you," Ruan Xiaozhu asked.
She was right about that.
If a regular student makes a profit of ten or twenty thousand US dollars after speculating on a shop, that is a huge amount of money for them.
But for Wang Ye now, ten or twenty thousand dollars was clearly not worth his effort.
Although she didn’t know how much money Wang Ye made from his study abroad agency, judging by the car he was driving, it should be quite a lot!
"Enough, I would say. I bought three streets," Wang Ye said casually.
"How many?" Both Ruan Xiaozhu and Yanzi asked in unison.
Not because they hadn’t heard Wang Ye’s words clearly, but because they instinctively felt it was unbelievable!
They had both been to the big market and knew what owning a street there meant!
"Three streets, or rather, equivalent to three districts in the old market. All the shops on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Streets of the New Sun Market would be mine. If you want to buy something over there, just mention my name. You should be able to get some discounts, haha," Wang Ye laughed heartily.
Both women fell silent because they needed to digest the information within Wang Ye’s sentence...
Three streets in the big market!
Although they didn’t know how much money Wang Ye spent to buy so many shops, without having to ask, it was definitely a huge amount of money!
All of a sudden, the familiar feeling Ruan Xiaozhu had towards Wang Ye, who was now driving, became strange.
...
When they arrived at the Xiao Ying Hotel, they chose a relatively high-class restaurant.
They chitchat after placing their orders.
"Now that your business has grown so big, do you still want to sell phone cards?" Ruan Xiaozhu asked.
Speaking of this, she felt a little embarrassed.
Because when she first came to Moscow and met Wang Ye a few years ago, she was boasting about her extensive network of friends and promised to protect him.
It was just a short while ago when Wang Ye started doing big business!
And what about her? She was still relying on the cheap phone cards her cousin got to make some pocket money...
This small business, she guessed, was probably something Wang Ye wouldn’t even care for anymore!
Yanzi was also nervously watching Wang Ye, to be honest, she had made quite a lot of money selling phone cards in the past period!
There were quite a few Chinese students in her dormitory area.
Not only did she earn her living expenses, but she even earned enough for her tuition fees. Yanzi didn’t want to lose this business.
"Why not keep doing it? Continue! By the way, a friend and I jointly opened a phone card company. The wholesale price to you guys will be even lower in the future. But we will require a higher quantity of orders," Wang Ye shrugged and said cheerfully.
Ruan Xiaozhu and Yanzi’s eyes widened once again!
The surprises that Wang Ye brought to them were just too many...
Wasn’t he just speculating on shops in the big market? How come he’s set up a phone card company now!
Since he said it was a company, there’s no doubt it wouldn’t be a small family business.
"You...How do you have so much time and energy!" Ruan Xiaozhu exclaimed after a while.
"Haha, I don’t have to do these things myself. I just need to set up the company’s framework and hire professionals to do it," Wang Ye laughed.
"What if... I helped out in your phone card company? I am about to be a Senior. My studies are also a lot easier and my Russian is passable. I can go out and work to get some experience," Ruan Xiaozhu said eagerly.
Wang Ye tilted his head to look at her, pondered for a moment, it indeed was a good idea!
Now he had a large business, but actually, he didn’t have many dependable people on his team. Besides Angelina and Liu Jun, there was no one else he could rely on.
As for Liu Jun, he was just a business partner, he couldn’t exactly be considered as a trusted lieutenant.
Since cousin Ruan Xiaozhu was interested, it could be worth a try.
So he readily nodded and said, "If you, my cousin, want to give it a try, then it is definitely possible. In a few days, my phone card company will open. The office is located next to the Izmailovo subway station at the Alpha Hotel, you can go there and work for a while to see if you can adapt!"
