696: Chapter 692 The Trade of Hetian Jade 696: Chapter 692 The Trade of Hetian Jade But no matter who managed the company, none would make Yun Xinyan as relieved as her own husband, Ye Tian, personally managing Yun Corporation…
“Ye Tian, hearing you say this, I am relieved now!
As a man, carrying the enterprise on your shoulders, this is indeed the true color of a man!
Ye Tian, rest assured, I will train you well, to quickly grow into an outstanding entrepreneur!
If you do well, I have thought about from now on just being a good wife and mother at home, not coming out anymore!”
As she spoke, Yun Xinyan nestled into Ye Tian’s embrace, in a sweet posture.
Ye Tian looked at Yun Xinyan with a mischievous smile, never expecting that a single sentence from him would melt the strong-willed woman, Yun Xinyan.
Just imagine, if Yun Xinyan gave up her job and stayed at home to take care of the children and do the housework for him, what a beautiful scene that would be – Ye Tian simply didn’t dare to contemplate it!
“Wife, rest assured, I will become the man you are expecting!”
Ye Tian promised earnestly, then sat down on the sofa in the chairman’s office.
“Wife, now that I’m here, let’s go ahead and do it!
Can you show me the trade records of the company for this period?”
Ye Tian asked straightforwardly, and Yun Xinyan was momentarily stunned.
“Ye Tian, Yun Corporation is one of the top enterprises in Capital City, the trade records are piled higher than a mountain, can you really read through all of them?
Although I know you are willing, if you really looked through them carefully, you would be exhausted to death!”
Yun Xinyan advised earnestly, with concern in her voice, and Ye Tian thought for a moment, realizing he indeed didn’t need to read through all of Yun Corporation’s trade records.
Thus Ye Tian said again, “If that’s the case, just take out this year’s!”
“Okay!”
Yun Xinyan nodded, and then made a phone call to her secretary.
It wasn’t long before the secretary handed a thick stack of files to Ye Tian.
“Captain Ye, please have a look!”
Even though it was only a year’s worth of trade records, they were quite numerous, and the secretary seemed to be struggling to hold them.
Ye Tian quickly lent her a hand and helped her place the stack of files on the coffee table.
“Thank you, Captain Ye!”
The secretary expressed her gratitude to Ye Tian, who waved his hand and said, “No need to thank me, if there’s nothing else, you can go.
I’ll call you if I need you!”
Ye Tian said generously, and the secretary immediately paid her respects to Ye Tian and Yun Xinyan before leaving the chairman’s office.
Yun Xinyan looked at Ye Tian with approval.
In the past, Ye Tian would have taken the opportunity to flirt with a pretty secretary, but now, he acted like a perfect gentleman, merely offering a helping hand.
It seemed that her husband, about to become a father, was improving in every aspect – Ye Tian was becoming more and more perfect!
Yun Xinyan gazed affectionately at Ye Tian, and suddenly she felt that Ye Tian, who was serious about his work, was even more charming than before!
“Ye Tian, take a careful look, and if there is anything you don’t understand, you can ask me.
I’ll explain it to you!”
“Thank you, my dear wife!”
Ye Tian thanked Yun Xinyan, then began to examine the pile of Yun Corporation’s trade records from the past year in front of him.
When it came to trade and such, Ye Tian was completely clueless, but he did know one thing!
And that was, Yun Corporation was now one of the largest enterprises in Capital City, having created more GDP for the city than many other private enterprises.
Such an enterprise was treated as a distinguished guest even by government departments, not to mention by other trade parties!
Yun Corporation was one of the leading companies in Capital City, and Capital City itself was a major city nationally, its trade and exports no less than those of Capital City.
This meant that companies and individuals with the purpose of making money would all come to Capital City to do so, and to make money in Capital City, one definitely needed to make contact with Yun Corporation…
Ding Da told Ye Tian that the Ye family was engaged in business, and their purpose was to make money.
Although Ye Tian did not know why the Ye family wanted to earn so much money, he could boldly guess that members of the Ye family might come into contact with Yun Corporation…
Of course, this was just a guess from Ye Tian, and he did not dare to make any firm conclusions!
The pile of trade records lying before him was confidential for Yun Corporation, because the company had to protect the privacy of any client they dealt with.
If Ye Tian weren’t Yun Xinyan’s husband, he would not have had the opportunity to see so much confidential information…
Sitting on the sofa, Ye Tian carefully went through the trade documents.
Since there were so many documents, it was impossible for him to read them all; he only looked at the names of Yun Corporation’s trading clients before he stopped examining further in detail.
As for the content of the trade and the amount of money involved, those were not the things Ye Tian cared about!
Although Yun Xinyan was also buried in her official duties, most of her energy was focused on watching Ye Tian!
Seeing Ye Tian flip through the trade documents so quickly, with a kind of photographic memory, Yun Xinyan couldn’t help but feel excited.
Perhaps, it wouldn’t be long before Ye Tian could surpass her and become a great entrepreneur!
“Ye Tian, you’re really impressive,” she said.
“When I look at documents, I’m not nearly as quick as you.
With such a big pile of documents, it would probably take me two days to get through them, but you, you only need an afternoon!”
Yun Xinyan had no idea why Ye Tian was looking through the stack of trade documents; she just thought he was very fast, so she couldn’t help but exclaim.
Ye Tian smiled and said, “Don’t worry, wife, I will definitely become the man you expect me to be!”
While speaking, Ye Tian flipped through the documents again rapidly.
In the past year, among the clients who had traded with Yun Corporation, there was no one with the surname Ye…
Of course, having only looked at half of the documents on hand, Ye Tian was not discouraged; he continued to browse quickly.
If he couldn’t find anything from the past year, then he could request records from the past two years, three years, or even ten years from the archives!
Ye Tian refused to believe that among the trade partners of Yun Corporation, there wasn’t someone with the surname Ye!
After carefully looking for more than an hour, Ye Tian finally found a customer with the surname Ye in the trade records.
“Ye Zhirong?”
Ye Tian muttered to himself; the name seemed quite ordinary, with nothing discernible from it.
Since it was a client with the surname Ye, Ye Tian naturally took a close look at this particular trade record.
The trade record clearly stated in black and white that Ye Zhirong provided Yun Corporation with a piece of jade, and Yun Corporation paid him 40 million yuan in return!
This piece of jade was actually that expensive!!
“Wife, what’s the story with this trade involving Hetian jade?” he asked.
Ye Tian handed the trade record he was holding to Yun Xinyan, who took a careful look and then said, “Ye Tian, I didn’t expect you to be interested in jade!
In fact, Yun Corporation didn’t directly buy or sell with this client!
This client had a piece of high-quality Hetian jade and entrusted Yun Corporation’s online platform to help him sell it, and Yun Corporation took a commission from it!”
“So we were just middlemen!”
Ye Tian laughed and said.
Yun Xinyan slowly explained, “Ye Tian, Yun Corporation isn’t only engaged in industry; more often, we provide a trading platform for other clients.
After all, Yun Corporation’s trade connections now span the whole of Asia.
Acting as a middleman is also an acceptable role!”
Just as Yun Xinyan had said, Yun Corporation had broken free from industrial economics and was starting to delve into other ventures.
Unlike traditional industry, Yun Corporation’s newly discovered business models were not only convenient and fast but also more profitable.
With just a few clicks, they could earn a fortune, so why not?
Whether acting as middlemen or simply lending technology or a brand to others, both were excellent ways to make money!
Seeing that Ye Tian seemed to understand, Yun Xinyan continued silently, “This client, named Ye Zhirong, entrusted Yun Corporation to sell this piece of jade for him.
The higher the jade sold for, the higher the commission Yun Corporation would receive.
Therefore, under the marketing department’s planning, this piece of jade was sent to participate in a television program about appraising treasures.
On the TV show, experts unanimously praised the quality of the jade and gave it a market guide price of 20 million, but the marketing department was still not satisfied.
They continued to hype up the price of the Hetian jade until it reached 40 million.
Eventually, the jade was bought by a collector from the United States, and Yun Corporation handed over the 40 million to the client.
In accordance with the agreement, the client also gave 10% of the profits, that is, 4 million yuan, to Yun Corporation!”
Ye Tian couldn’t help but exclaim, “Just by moving their lips, hiring a few online trolls to post messages, you can earn 4 million yuan.
No wonder so many people dislike the real economy.
If it were me, I’d also like to do this kind of thing!”
Yun Xinyan added, “Indeed…
Ye Tian, do you have any more questions about this trade record?”
Ye Tian asked again, “Wife, since it was such a big deal, you must have met that client, right?
What does he look like?
How old is he?
How tall is he?”
Yun Xinyan thought for a moment and answered, “Although several months have passed, I still have some impression of him.
He’s an old man with white hair, skinny and angular, with deep-set eyes and dressed very simply, not looking very wealthy at all.”
“How tall is he?”
Ye Tian asked excitedly.
“Height?
Probably shorter than you, after all, he is an old man, so he should not be as tall as a young man!”
Yun Xinyan continued to describe, which made Ye Tian even more excited!
“Wife, does this client have any contact information left?
Or an address or something?”
