Chapter 171 Business Prodigy
Chapter 171 Business Prodigy
He had never seen Yun Yao praise someone like that before, and his intuition told him that the other person was a man.
"Is he very outstanding?" Su Yuchen couldn't help but ask.
Yun Yao, who was playing on her phone, nodded and responded.
"Yes, he is really outstanding. I'll introduce him to you later, and I'm sure you'll like him as much as I do."
Su Yuchen's fingers tightened around the steering wheel.
Great, not only do I have to pick him up, but I also have to like him?
Like him? He was already being merciful by not having the international air traffic control stop that plane, and you expect him to like him?
Su Yuchen's face was extremely ugly; a half-hour journey had taken him more than an hour.
As they were getting off the bus, Yun Zichen suddenly grabbed Yun Yao's sleeve.
"What's wrong?" Yun Yao asked, puzzled.
"Aunt, don't you think my uncle is strange?" Yun Zichen said softly, watching Su Yuchen's departing figure.
Strange? I don't see anything strange about it!
"That's just how he is, always acting like someone owes him money! Let's ignore him. Come on, I'll introduce you to a friend!" Yun Yao led Yun Zichen past Su Yuchen.
Anger blazed in Su Yuchen's eyes.
Yun Yao, you're doing great!
He wanted to see what kind of man could make Yun Yao care so much!
Ten minutes later, he finally saw the person he regarded as his "opponent".
His gaze continued downwards, finally settling on the face of a boy who looked to be about ten years old.
Su Yuchen: "..."
"Little Qi Mo, it's been a long time!" Yun Yao said, ruffling the boy's hair.
"Sister Yun!" Qi Mo, who had been serious just moments before, instantly beamed and rushed towards Yun Yao.
Yun Yao gently comforted Qi Mo, who had been extremely nervous the whole way, her eyes tender.
Behind them, Qi's father watched this scene with reddened eyes.
"Uncle, is this the friend that Auntie is going to introduce to me?" Yun Zichen tugged at Su Yuchen, whose body was a little stiff.
"Hmm, maybe." A hint of embarrassment flashed in Su Yuchen's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
In his more than twenty years of life, he had never been as speechless as he was today.
An opponent? This kid who's only a teenager? He must be so angry he's lost his mind!
"There are too many people and too many eyes at the airport, let's talk about it on the bus," Su Yuchen suddenly said.
Qi Mo, so obedient it was heartbreaking, stepped out of Yun Yao's embrace and then looked at that tall, slender figure.
"Sister Yun, who is this?"
Su Yuchen was eagerly waiting for Yun Yao to introduce him, but he didn't expect her to whisper to Qi Mo.
Qi Mo's gaze towards Su Yuchen shifted from wariness to scrutiny, and then to a meaningful look.
Hmm, Su Yuchen actually saw something profound in the eyes of a boy who was only a teenager!
Finally, the two of them burst out laughing.
Su Yuchen: "..." Is it too late for him to regret it now?
"Alright, this isn't the place to talk. Let's go." Yun Yao glanced at the people who were intentionally or unintentionally glancing at them.
On the way back, Su Yuchen finally figured out the relationship between them.
It turns out that Yun Yao met Qi Mo and his father by chance when she went to Tan'er. Because of Qi Mo's extraordinary talent, Yun Yao took a liking to him, and as a result, his father's eye disease was also cured.
They traveled thousands of miles and endured hardships to return, just to confirm that their savior was truly safe and sound.
However, Su Yuchen still didn't understand Yun Yao's words. She said that the person coming to pick up her business partner was her business partner.
Since they are partners, there must be some ties of interest. Over this long period of time, he really couldn't see any business talent in Qi Mo and his son.
"Qi Mo, how about I entrust the Linlang Pavilion to you and your father?" Yun Yao asked directly.
"Linlang Pavilion?" Qi Mo asked, puzzled.
Qi Mo possessed a composure and maturity unlike that of a child. Even though Yun Yao had already extended an olive branch to him, his expression remained unchanged until the specific plans for the Linlang Pavilion were finalized.
"Linglang Pavilion will become the largest jade and precious artifact dealer in China. We will source, manufacture, and sell our own products. All steps will be personally overseen by our people, and there will be absolutely no middlemen profiting from the difference."
"To put it simply, I want Linlang Pavilion to monopolize the jade industry in the entire country, and even... the entire international market," Yun Yao said calmly.
Even Su Yuchen was taken aback when he heard such a grand and ambitious goal.
He looked at the woman speaking eloquently and was deeply impressed.
There are indeed powerful businesswomen, but it is rare to find someone as arrogant as Yun Yao who wants to monopolize the entire industry right from the start.
Moreover, the most crucial point is that no one present thought she was joking, including Su Yuchen.
"Sister Yun, do you really believe me?" Qi Mo suddenly asked.
Qi Mo did not refuse; his first question was whether Yun Yao believed him.
“Of course.” Yun Yao looked at the boy with shining eyes and said without hesitation.
“Okay, then I can do it,” Qi Mo said firmly.
A child in his early teens agreed to such an astonishing plan without batting an eye. Wasn't he afraid that Yun Yao was lying to him?
And what's more, he's incredibly audacious!
Yun Yao didn't find it particularly strange, and her mood instantly improved when Qi Mo agreed.
"Alright, Linlang Pavilion will open in three days. You and your son should prepare. Let me know if you need anything," Yun Yao whispered in her ear.
On this bustling street, no one could have imagined that the future internationally renowned Linglang Pavilion was originally planned from the cars that passed them by.
……
Three days later, it was New Year's Day.
Nationally recognized good days always bring unexpected surprises.
This day marked the discharge of Yun Zhengfeng from the hospital, and also the opening day of the long-awaited Linlang Pavilion.
People are always full of curiosity about the unknown, and a lot of people had already gathered at the entrance of Linlang Pavilion early in the morning.
The interior of Linlang Pavilion is classical and grand. Once inside, it feels like you've stumbled into the streets of ancient Chang'an. The receptionists at the entrance are dressed in red cotton-padded clothes like those of New Year's picture dolls, with their two buns pointing upwards, looking incredibly festive.
"Hey, how come there's a jade shop on this street too? It looks impressive, but are the items as good as those from Zhenbaozhai?" someone in the crowd couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know, but I heard that the owner behind this company has quite a powerful background!"
"What does it matter how big or small the origin is? It all comes down to the quality of the jade!"
"Yeah, look at those rubble stones and cutting equipment piled up by the door. Are they going to cut stones for me on the spot?"
“Look at those pieces of material, what good stuff can you get from them? I think we should go back to Zhenbaozhai and buy something. These are substandard products, even if I bought them, I wouldn’t dare wear them out! It would be so embarrassing!”
After being egged on by this group of people, many people gave up their desire to watch the spectacle and left one after another.
The people standing on the second floor witnessed this scene, each with their own thoughts.
“Miss Yun, now that everyone has left, hasn’t all the publicity we did the other day been a waste of money?” Mr. Qi asked with some concern.
Before Yun Yao could speak, Qi Mo pressed down on Qi's father's hand.
"Dad, you have to give up something to gain something, and we never expected to attract people through advertising anyway."
"A good shop speaks for itself through the quality of its goods," Qi Mo said seriously, her hands behind her back.
Yun Yao couldn't help but glance at Qi Mo's small frame again, and slowly nodded.
To be able to share her ideas at such a young age is truly a rare business prodigy!
