This silk raw material is not exclusive to Jiangnan, it’s available in various parts of the Southwest as well. Moreover, unlike ancient tis, the prices of raw materials might just be different now.
Regarding this matter, Shen Yueru doesn’t have to worry about anything.
Ye Qiu and Shen Yueru sat there until the end of the workday. Initially, Ye Qiu wanted to check on Xiao i and Shen Xingru, but Shen Yueru didn’t let him leave.
Now it’s dinnerti, so Ye Qiu could only call ho to reach Xiaomai.
"I’ll call the housemaid first and tell her no need to cook for ," Ye Qiu said.
In the morning, Ye Qiu had already given Xiaomai a stack of cash, which was the usual money for buying groceries and cooking. Since Ye Qiu was going out to eat with Shen Yueru, he wouldn’t be going ho.
After the call with Xiaomai, they took the elevator downstairs and got into Ye Qiu’s car. Ye Qiu asked, "Yueru, what do you want to eat?"
"Anything is fine."
Shen Yueru really didn’t care what to eat. If not for Ye Qiu, she would have driven ho to eat with her parents by now.
When Ye Qiu backed the car up and drove away, they arrived outside the entrance of a high-end Western restaurant, parked the car, and walked inside with Shen Yueru.
Girls like romance; they enjoy the process. Now it’s the sa for Shen Yueru; she just wanted Ye Qiu to accompany her for dinner.
Once inside the restaurant, they sat down. The waitress led them to seats by the window and handed over the nu. Ye Qiu told Shen Yueru to choose the dishes.
Ye Qiu then ordered a bottle of red wine costing several thousand.
After the waitress left, Ye Qiu said, "I’m going to East Sea on Monday to get my visa, and then I’ll head to the Caribbean Sea."
"What are you going to the Caribbean Sea for?"
Shen Yueru only knew Ye Qiu had just returned from the East Ocean. Just earlier in the president’s office, Ye Qiu had told her he didn’t expect to be going to the Caribbean so soon.
"To buy a farm, planning to purchase a Coffee Mountain."
"You want to run a coffee business?"
Shen Yueru was genuinely surprised. She didn’t know the specifics of Ye Qiu’s business ventures, but even Louise’s diterranean Group is incomparable to so.
"Leaving it to classmates to handle, so I need to check out the raw materials firsthand. Only with good raw coffee materials can we brew a good cup of coffee."
"Will that require a significant amount of investnt?"
"Not sure yet."
In Jinling, there’s no need to invest heavily for now. It’s just uncertain how much buying a farm will cost, and once it’s bought, managing it will also need money.
After all, money will be needed.
Shen Yueru just curiously watched Ye Qiu, finding him increasingly unfathomable. Comparing him to just now, Yang Zhipeng wasn’t even in the sa league. Relying on his family’s control of so silk raw materials, he thought himself great.
Actually, these silk raw materials are just acquired silks processed further, making only a small middle margin.
Previously, Shen Zhigang and his wife did the sa, erging from the Jiangnan silk industry. Realizing it wasn’t that profitable, they aid to develop the business to the terminal end. Now, even a small piece of underwear can earn thousands, but the basic silk price is just tens of bucks—likely better than farming.
Regarding the middle margin, by processing, at most, it’s two to three hundred per pound. There’s a need to classify the quality, and Xingyue Group uses the best real silk, the highest grade, with purchases costing over four hundred only.
So, in terms of raw materials, Shen Yueru has no concerns.
However, coffee is different.
The difference between regular coffee and premium coffee is vast.
"Isn’t there coffee dostically? There’s so in Southern Yunnan too, right?"
Dostic coffee?
There’s talk of Nestlé starting to use coffee from Southern Yunnan, but how can it compare to the Caribbean Sea area?
"It’s different,"
Ye Qiu replied.
Moreover, he planned to secure a Coffee Mountain, ensuring a continuous supply of coffee. He wanted to control that Coffee Mountain, similar to how people from the East Ocean established a brand na.
The East Ocean has Blue Mountain Coffee while Indonesia touts Civet Coffee. Both are of good quality, supplented by marketing.
Like Ye Qiu’s Viscount Red Wine, it’s a similar case.
Otherwise, with poor coffee origin, further developnt is difficult.
Shen Yueru looked at Ye Qiu and said, "If I weren’t busy with work, I’d want to go to the Caribbean Sea with you. I heard it’s a fun place for tourism."
In the past, the Caribbean was full of pirates, but now it’s beco the United States’ back garden, with clear blue skies and seas, a tourist paradise offering various entertainnt options.
However, Ye Qiu didn’t plan to take soone along.
The waitress brought over the red wine Ye Qiu had just ordered. After uncorking it, Ye Qiu sniffed, finding it imported, but with an average taste.
They drank half a glass together, and the Western dishes they ordered were served, and they began to eat.
By the ti they finished that course of Western food, it was already past 7 PM.
When calling the waitress over to settle the bill, Shen Yueru had already taken out her credit card.
Being with these young ladies, Ye Qiu hardly ever needed to pay.
Outside, back in the car, Ye Qiu drove to take Shen Yueru on a short drive before returning to the Peach Blossom Source Villa Community.
While in the car, Shen Yueru’s phone rang. She took it out to see it was a call from Yang Zhipeng. Qingcheng Group’s current raw materials were supplied by the Yang Family, so Yang Zhipeng directly contacted Shen Yueru.
"President Shen, wouldn’t you like to talk a bit more?" Yang Zhipeng inquired.
His tone carried a hint of threat.
"I don’t know what you an," Shen Yueru replied.
"You know how I feel, Yueru," Yang Zhipeng answered.
"I’m not in the mood to discuss anything. If it’s business-related, you can talk to my secretary," Shen Yueru coolly said.
"That’s fine," Yang Zhipeng said and hung up.
"What is it? Did he threaten you?"
"Maybe," Shen Yueru responded.
Ye Qiu wondered what it was, not expecting a threat over raw materials towards Shen Yueru.
What age are we living in?
"Looks like letting the other party off just like that was not a good idea earlier," Ye Qiu thought to himself. He realized he’d been too lenient towards these pests; otherwise, why all the troubles?
However, if they want to play, Ye Qiu is ready to engage them.
Driving to the Qinhuai River banks, Ye Qiu and Shen Yueru got out. Shen Yueru was in a good mood when just a little thing disturbed her like that fly.
Nonetheless, following the acquisition and rge of Qingcheng Group by Xingyue Group, the company has changed significantly. Particularly concerning raw materials, they must be handled very cautiously.
