Upon hearing this, Brandon frowned slightly, his expression sowhat unnatural.
Every invitation to a Rothschild Clan banquet is extrely valuable. He valued Ye Ming's status and needed the latter to help the Flanders Conglorate enter the Huaxia market, which is why he offered Ye Ming this opportunity.
Unexpectedly, Ye Ming actually lost his position as the Ye Family heir.
Brandon felt so regret.
If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have ntioned the Rothschild Clan banquet to Ye Ming.
But there was no choice.
Retracting what he had given would be too embarrassing.
"Ye Ming, let ask you sothing." Brandon's voice turned a bit colder, and he got straight to the point: "I plan to lead the Flanders Conglorate into Huaxia. Can you provide assistance?"
"No problem, you can count on for this."
Ye Ming answered without hesitation: "I lost my position as the Ye Family heir, but I still have my identity as a Ye Family mber. The connections and resources are still there, so helping out is absolutely not an issue."
Brandon looked much more satisfied, knowing that Ye Ming could provide assistance, and he gave up the idea of rescinding Ye Ming's invitation to the banquet.
Then, he changed the subject and said, "Let's leave the matter of teaching your cousin a lesson for later—I'll help you with that afterward. The most important thing right now is to please that mysterious Rothschild Prince Consort at next week's banquet. Is the welcoming gift prepared?"
Ye Ming smiled mysteriously without answering imdiately; instead, he clapped his hands.
Soon, six servants from the estate carried an oversized porcelain vase to the poolside.
The vase stood at a height of 1.8 ters, as tall as an adult, with a bright and glossy surface, white as jade, and the snow-white porcelain body was intricately carved with beautifully distinct blue patterns.
With an ancient fragrance, ink-like elegance, and pure tones, it carried a classical aesthetic.
Even as a renowned European porcelain collector, Brandon couldn't help but be impressed by the sight of this vase.
"Brother, take a look." Ye Ming, pleased with Brandon's reaction, got up from the water and approached the shore. He gently tapped the vase with his index finger, which produced a few crisp "deng" sounds.
With an upward curve of his lips, he said, "This is a masterpiece blue and white porcelain made in the imperial kilns of Jingdezhen during the Xuanhe era of the Huaxia Song Dynasty, said to be the favorite of the then-emperor Song Huizong. Moreover, Song Huizong personally nad it 'Conqueror of the Emperor's Heart,' intending to completely captivate the emperor's heart. After the invasion of the Jin people, the Song Dynasty fell into chaos, and this vase drifted into the civilian world. Not long ago, I acquired it at a great cost. Offering this as a eting gift to that bigwig shouldn't bring disgrace, right?"
"Impressive!"
After hearing Ye Ming's introduction, Brandon's eyes shone with approval.
But recalling sothing else, a hint of worry appeared on his brow, "There are many counterfeit antiques in Huaxia; this piece of yours..."
"Don't worry."
Knowing Brandon's concern, Ye Ming pounded his chest and promised, "I mortgaged over a billion worth of Ye Family shares in the Li Corporation to buy this from the black market."
Brandon shook his head, frowning: "Value doesn't signify much; the key is the authenticity. If it's a fake, not only will you lose face, but I, the one bringing you to the banquet, will also be disgraced."
Ye Ming was unconcerned and chuckled, "Rest assured, I spent a hefty sum hiring Huaxia's famous appraisal expert, Su Jianbao, to personally authenticate this item. This vase is definitely real, as solid as a rock!"
Su Jianbao?
Hearing this na, Brandon's worry instantly disappeared.
He's a renowned figure in Huaxia's appraisal field, a world-class expert!
It's said that Su Jianbao can even authenticate dinosaur fossils!
Brandon had previously sought Su Jianbao to appraise folk-level antique porcelains in Huaxia, deeply trusting his appraisal skills.
In a mont, Brandon was completely reassured.
At this ti, a servant ca running over, handing Brandon a diamond-studded phone and respectfully said, "Young master, Young Master Louis is calling."
"Louis?"
Brandon looked puzzled.
Louis Chanel, heir to the French Chanel Conglorate.
The Chanel Conglorate, a leader in the global costics industry, possesses the world's largest costic R&D, production base, and sales channels, with its brand Chanel being a household na worldwide.
Brandon had naturally heard of Louis, the future leader of the Chanel Conglorate, but had never interacted with him before.
Puzzled about why Louis would call, he still got out of the pool, dried himself, took the phone, and pressed the answer key.
"Young Master Brandon, I've got so big news for you."
Louis went straight to the point in a lazy voice, "Tianyun International's President, Liu Tianyun, and her husband, Ye Huan, will co to Paris tomorrow to negotiate with a company under my family's conglorate, Chanel, about costics distribution."
Brandon detected an implied ssage in Louis's words and asked with a frown, "What do you an?"
"As you know, our Chanel Conglorate does not fear your Flanders Conglorate."
"If we collaborate with Tianyun International, your effort to block Tianyun International will co to nothing."
"What I want is simple."
With a soft chuckle, Louis continued, "After the Flanders Conglorate enters Huaxia and crushes Tianyun International, the iying formula will be mine."
"Deal."
Brandon said fiercely before hanging up the phone.
Aside from agreeing to Louis's demand, he had no other choice.
For the Flanders Conglorate to establish itself in Huaxia, the first task was to make a na for itself and establish authority; targeting the most prominent company, Tianyun International, was the best option.
But if the Chanel Conglorate helps Tianyun International establish overseas sales channels, the Flanders Conglorate would be powerless against them, let alone make a move.
The iying formula is highly desirable!
Worth over five billion!
Brandon had intended to seize the iying formula for himself after crushing Tianyun International, but considering the larger picture, securing the Huaxia market was the priority!
He could only agree!
Still, agreeing wasn't exactly a loss!
So key information was obtained!
"Ye Ming, your cousin and his wife are coming to France to negotiate with the Chanel Group."
Brandon grinned, patted Ye Ming twice on the shoulder, and said with deep implication, "Perhaps, I can help you take a hard hit on Ye Huan before the banquet and before pleasing that mysterious figure!"
