Chapter 99: Chapter 99 Is it so Easy to Make Money?_1

The day following the promotion conference, Wang Ye and his crew did not act together but divided into groups.

Liu Jun stayed behind to continue monitoring the further steps, including how to convert the share of Qingyun Company entitled to into US dollars and transfer it to Moscow, all of which were troublesome procedures.

Two employees from the company escorted the Director of External Affairs from Friendship University and Moscow University directly back to their destinations.

Meanwhile, Wang Ye, Angelina, and Liu Mei, traveled to the capital city.

Wang Ye planned to stay in the capital for a day, to discuss the idea of setting up a tourism company with Liu Mei...

On this trip back, Wang Ye hadn’t informed his family about it. He specifically asked his uncle not to mention it to his family.

Mainly because Wang Ye was worried his parents wouldn’t understand his current work; he planned to inform them once his business was genuinely underway.

......

In the capital, the office of Liu Mei’s company stood in a slightly aged building.

She gave Wang Ye and Angelina a tour of her foreign trade company while also providing a brief explanation about the business they were currently running.

Only then did Wang Ye understand that Liu Mei’s "foreign trade" company was essentially a "second-tier broker".

With orders and quotes received from foreign companies, they then find domestic factories to process and produce, making a profit off the price difference in between.

There were so many of these businesses back in those days!

As information wasn’t advanced, it was challenging for real demand and production sides to contact each other. That’s where so-called foreign trade companies came in, leveraging information disparities to do business.

You have to say, this business was seriously lucrative.

However, as more foreign businesses enter China and establish factories or branch offices to directly connect with manufacturing facilities, Liu Mei’s foreign trade company started to falter business became tough.

Liu Mei started thinking about transitioning her business.

Setting up a tourism company was one of her attempted ventures.

Especially after witnessing the bustling scene at yesterday’s promotional event, coupled with a student turnout that far exceeded expectations, Liu Mei began taking this all quite seriously.

She believed that Wang Ye was highly capable and executing business on a grand scale, and that working with such a person could never go wrong.

"So, what do you think, Aunt Liu? How do you feel about my proposal from last time?" Wang Ye asked with a smile once they had sat down.

His previous proposal was, of course, that he wanted to sign an agreement with Liu Mei, distributing company shares based on the annual average profits three years after the creation of the company.

If the average yearly profit of the tourism company reached two million within three years, Wang Ye would get 10% of the shares. If the profit reached three million, Wang Ye would get 25% of the shares. If the profit reached five million, Wang Ye would get 50% of the shares!

Of course, there is also the case when the annual profits exceed 10 million...

Upon hearing Wang Ye bring up the matter again, Liu Mei didn’t panic at all. These past few days, she had seriously pondered it.

As the enrolment result far exceeded expectations, Liu Mei’s outlook on the tourism company’s future became even more positive.

When Wang Ye first brought up this matter the day before yesterday, Liu Mei barely believed that the tourism company could make that much money.

Now, though, she was becoming a bit more convinced...

After furrowing her brows and thinking for a moment, she said cautiously, "Manager Wang, what about this? You don’t have to invest a single penny, and I will give you 30% of the company shares! Of course, once you become a shareholder of the company, you also have to contribute ideas for the company. After all, the company growing strong can benefit you as well."

Wang Ye sighed inwardly.

Women are just women, lacking broad vision...

Ultimately, Liu Mei still had a hard time parting with a larger share of the company for Wang Ye.

But at the same time, she should have recognized Wang Ye’s capacity. With his participation, the future of the tourism company would certainly be much stronger than if Liu Mei ran it alone.

Thus, she offered 30% of the shares in order to win over Wang Ye.

Of course, without offering these shares, she wouldn’t be able to start the tourism company either...

The way she addressed Wang Ye also transitioned from the initial "Wang Ye" to the current "Manager Wang".

This indicated Liu Mei’s appreciation for Wang Ye as she no longer spoke to him as a "senior", but instead placed Wang Ye on an equal footing.

If the person in front of him wasn’t Nalan Yaqi’s mother, Wang Ye wouldn’t have even bothered to continue the conversation.

However, when he thought of Nalan Yaqi, Wang Ye softened.

After all, the two of them had an entangled relationship in his previous life.

His relationship with Nalan Yaqi was deemed "formerly" complex; it can’t exactly be considered a romantic one since neither considered each other as a romantic partner and never made their relationship known to their classmates and friends.

Yet, they certainly had...

That is, you all know what.

You could only say they each took what they needed due to a stroke of luck.

Although it could not be stated that either owed each other anything, as a man, he should be more generous...

Furthermore, the revenue from this tourism company didn’t really matter in Wang Ye’s eyes. It was considered small money.

"Well... okay then! Let’s do as you suggested, Aunt Liu." Wang Ye agreed briskly.

Liu Mei was delighted; she quickly grabbed Wang Ye’s hand and asked, "You agreed?"

Having her soft, tender hand encompass his, Wang Ye felt a touch awkward. Quietly withdrawing his hand, he responded with a smile, "Ya Qi and I are good friends. Just as the saying goes, seeing the Buddha for the sake of the monk, I agree!"

Glancing from Wang Ye to Angelina who was sitting next to him and sipping her tea, Liu Mei quietly sighed in disappointment internally.

What a good lad he was!

Not only was he shrewd and capable, but he was also tall and handsome.

If only he could be her son-in-law!

The downside was, it seemed there was something between him and this Russian girl.

Everywhere they went, they were together, so it seemed her daughter didn’t stand much of a chance.

At Liu Mei’s company, the two signed a preliminary collaboration agreement.

A formal shareholders’ agreement would have to wait until the founding of the tourism company, which would take a while.

But it didn’t matter at present. After all, this matter can’t start until at least the second half of the year at the earliest.

Since the students studying abroad haven’t been sent out yet, they certainly couldn’t go for a tour first...

After finishing all these matters, it was already quite late and Wang Ye and Angelina were scheduled to take a flight back to Moscow the following day.

As they were constrained by time during this visit, they didn’t plan any leisurely activities in the capital city.

......

A night passed without a word. Early the following morning, Liu Mei drove Wang Ye and Angelina to the airport.

Following another long day of travel, due to the time difference, they only arrived in Moscow in the afternoon.

Taking a cab back to their apartment, both collapsed onto the sofa, not wanting to move an inch.

Over these past few days, they traveled "over" more than 20,000 kilometers. Although they were sitting on planes and in cars, they were still exhausted.

Angelina nestled in Wang Ye’s arms, lazily adjusting her head to find the most comfortable position.

After a while, she slowly asked, "Is making money really that easy? We should have made a lot from this trip."

What happened this time had quite the impact on her.

In just two to three days, with just one promotional event, the company’s revenue reached over ten million CNY!

Is money really that easy to make...
