Chapter 303 - 303 Eighth Sister Is Back!
303 Eighth Sister Is Back!
Some of the young masters and young ladies who were obsessed with investing in e-commerce were also dumbfounded. This logic sounded very simple, but they had never thought about it carefully.
“Brother Ye, listening to you is better than studying for ten years,” said a rather fashionable woman present. She had brown curly hair and exquisite makeup on her face. There were also two huge round earrings hanging by her ears, making her face look very small.
“This is…” Ye Xuan asked Liu Yun.
“I’m Yao Susu, the executive director of Mei Yixin Fashion Co., Ltd. My main job is to sell cosmetics and clothing.” Before Liu Yun could introduce her, Yao Susu introduced herself.
Ye Xuan had an impression of this woman’s face, but he only knew her name today.
Yao Susu.
This woman looked very domineering, but she was not annoying.
Yao Susu continued, “Our company’s e-commerce business can be considered very big. We have sales of tens of millions a year, but it’s almost not profitable now. Some years, we even lose money! The cost of doing e-commerce is really high every year. The promotion costs are getting higher and higher, and the price is even increasing every month.”
“If we encounter something like the 11.11 sale or 618 shopping day, the promotion cost will increase by three to five times. Now that I think about it, it might be better to set up a physical shop. The increase in the price of physical rental is relatively small and relatively stable. We built the warehouse in Jiangbei and the country also gave tax exemptions. In the end, we still can’t earn money and worked for the platform for nothing.”
Ye Xuan nodded and said, “Generally speaking, the traffic in physical stores is relatively stable. The increase in the cost of obtaining customers in e-commerce far exceeds the increase in physical stores. Physical stores are rising relatively slowly, while e-commerce is rising rapidly. Which one do you think is more cost-effective?”
“After hearing your words, I also think we should try offline shops!”
Yao Susu was probably the best at doing business among the group of people present. When everyone saw how inspired Yao Susu was, they were even more shocked and became even more respectful to Ye Xuan. They scrambled to ask Ye Xuan questions, and Ye Xuan answered them briefly.
“… As for how to invest in Jinling, look at the recent policies. You should be able to guess a little. The trend is in the books and not from anyone’s mouth.” Ye Xuan continued, “If you buy the land in Huning and Xiayuan, you’ll make a profit. It’s easy to fail at Jurong. Although it’s more profitable, it’s also risky. It’s better for you not to touch it. Yangbai is not bad either. You can invest in hotels and restaurants.”
“Xiayuan? That place should be called the wasteland. If we dig with a shovel, it will probably be filled with ancient coins. How can we earn money if it’s accidentally handed over to the state?” Someone questioned.
At this moment, Liu Yun’s entire body suddenly trembled. He felt as if something had connected in his mind and said happily, “This… This is… It’s true! I— I heard that Young Master Zhuo said that there will be a new policy in the near future regarding rewards for digging up ancient ruins. I also heard from Uncle Yun that the country will vigorously develop Chinese cultural tourism next year, and…”
Liu Yun listed a few seemingly inconspicuous policies.
When they connected the dots, their eyes lit up.
In the future, not only would they be able to earn money in Xiayuan, but they would also be able to get people to come and dig for gold!
The young masters slapped their thighs and began to talk about the information they had heard from their families.
When they combined the information, they immediately pointed at the places Ye Xuan mentioned. Huning, Jurong, Yangbai…
Everyone looked at Ye Xuan as if they were looking at a ghost. The attendants had already served the dishes one after another, but no one was in the mood to eat or drink. They were all discussing these issues.
Ye Xuan didn’t say much. At this moment, he was the only one present who was really eating in peace.
Just as everyone was about to ask more, Ye Xuan’s phone rang.
“I’m sorry, I have to answer this call first.” Ye Xuan didn’t answer their question. He walked out of the private room and picked up the call.
A sweet voice came from the phone. Without looking at the caller ID, he knew that it was his Eighth Sister, Ye Qian.
“h.e.l.lo… Eighth Sister? Are you back?”
He thought that his Seventh Sister would come back first, but he did not expect his Eighth Sister to come back first.
“That’s right, I’m back. Where did you run off to? Only our Fourth Sister is at home. She’s still live-streaming and is ignoring me. I’m so bored. I haven’t seen you for so long. As soon as I come back, I have to face this cold and cheerless home. Do you still have a conscience? Come back and accompany your Eighth Sister. I miss you so much!”
Although Ye Qian’s tone on the phone was very exaggerated, one could tell that she really missed him.
That was true. It had been so long since they last met.
Ye Xuan comforted his Eighth Sister in a tone that didn’t sound like an eight-year-old child at all. “Okay, I’ll go back now.”
On the other side, Ye Qian suddenly felt that she was a younger sister just now. It was as if she had been comforted by her older brother. She immediately blushed. Fortunately, the other party could not see her on the phone, so Ye Qian hurriedly said, “Young brat, hurry up!” Then, she quickly hung up.
After hanging up, Ye Qian made up her mind and said, “Hmph, you’re a little brat. I’ll teach you a lesson when I come back! Who asked you to pretend to be a little adult?”
When Ye Xuan returned, everyone looked at him and Liu Yun said, “Brother Ye, what’s the matter?”
“My sister is back. I have to go back first.”
“Then we won’t hold you back.” Although Liu Yun still had many questions, he didn’t dare to delay Ye Xuan’s schedule, afraid that Ye Xuan would be unhappy.
Hence, everyone stood up and sent Ye Xuan off.
When they reached downstairs, Liu Yun suddenly remembered that Ye Xuan had lent Qian Kai his Rolls-Royce Phantom Extended edition, so he said considerately, “Brother Ye, why don’t I drive you home?”
“Ah, no need. I called a car.”
Ye Xuan spoke calmly.
At this moment, a car slowly drove over and stopped by the roadside. Zheng Jianghao, who was wearing a black uniform and white gloves, got out of the car and opened the door for Ye Xuan. He welcomed Ye Xuan and said, “Young Master, please.”
It was another limited edition Rolls-Royce!
Liu Yun’s eyes were about to fall out. Before Liu Yun could finish being shocked, Ye Xuan got into the car and rolled down the window to bid farewell to Liu Yun and the others. “The food today was not bad. This restaurant is quite delicious, but it’s a pity that I didn’t have time to finish it today. If I go back late, my sister will be irritable, so I have to leave first. Thank you for your hospitality today. I’ll leave first.”
Only then did Liu Yun come back to his senses. “Brother Ye, if you like it, I’ll inform the lobby manager and we can come anytime. We just want to thank you for giving us so much pointers.”
When Ye Xuan mentioned his sister, his tone was obviously much more relaxed. Only then did Liu Yun remember that Brother Ye, who he begged to guide him, was actually a child.
Yao Susu watched as the Rolls-Royce drove away and said, “To him, a random car is a Rolls-Royce. Isn’t that too awesome?”
The young masters of Jinling were also shocked and sighed. “As expected of Brother Ye…”
