Chu Feng heard Cui Jingyan wanted to discuss business with him and said, "Sister Yan, you know more about this than I do, so you should just take care of it yourself."
With a look of aggrieved reproach, Cui Jingyan glared at Chu Feng and said, "Why are you so quick to beco a hands-off shopkeeper? You’re really harsh, leaving to exhaust myself alone."
Facing such a devil like Cui Jingyan, Chu Feng had absolutely no resistance and could only say, "All right! Sister Yan, I’ll stay and discuss it with you."
Chu Feng sat opposite Cui Jingyan, who offered a charming smile and said, "Actually, I’ve been thinking about what kind of transformation to make for a while now, and you could help analyze so options for your sister, too."
After hearing Cui Jingyan’s words, Chu Feng pondered for a mont before saying, "Sister Yan, do you think we could succeed in the jade business?"
The best fit that Chu Feng could think of for himself was probably the gemstone business. He could certainly use his abilities to select a large number of top-quality jades, which would surely make it easier to break into the market.
Cui Jingyan, upon hearing Chu Feng’s suggestion, didn’t show the excitent one might expect and said, "I’ve thought about that as well. But you don’t know, the waters run deep in the jewelry industry. Even if you have a pair of magical eyes, it’s still very dangerous for newcors like us with no foundation. Having good jade doesn’t guarantee making money."
Chu Feng really didn’t understand the market, nor was he aware of such considerations within the industry, so he simply bowed his head and continued to ponder.
Seeing that Chu Feng had fallen silent, Cui Jingyan thought he might be feeling dejected and, out of sympathy, said, "It’s not that we can’t enter this industry, but if we want to, we should wait until we have a foundation to build upon. After all, the profits in the jewelry business can be quite substantial."
Chu Feng knew Cui Jingyan had misunderstood him and looked up with a slight smile, saying, "Sister Yan, I’m fine. I was just thinking about what kind of business would be good to get started with and can be rapidly expanded."
Cui Jingyan rolled her eyes at Chu Feng and said, "Why all this deep contemplation? I thought your little pride had taken another hit, and you were preparing to jump off a building again?"
Chu Feng, a bit embarrassed, smiled and said, "Sister Yan, I have you now, so I won’t be so fragile in the future."
Cui Jingyan gave Chu Feng a glaring look and said, "Little pervert."
Chu Feng chuckled and then said, "Sister Yan, I was just thinking that if we want sothing we can quickly get our hands on, we have to start with food, drink, fun, and entertainnt."
Glanced at by Cui Jingyan’s encouraging eyes, Chu Feng continued, "If we start with food and drink, we could only go high-end to make a breakthrough and establish our own circle. But the high-end dining scene in East River is almost saturated now. Furthermore, current policies aren’t favorable for the developnt of high-end dining.
So I think we should start with entertainnt. We’re in an era of mass entertainnt, people’s living standards are getting higher, and their demands for the quality of spiritual life is ever-increasing.
Plus, the fan economy is booming. If we could start an entertainnt company, I think it would be really great."
Listening to Chu Feng talk at length, Cui Jingyan’s eyes lit up and she said, "Not bad, kid. Your thoughts coincide with mine. I’m thinking the sa thing. And when it cos to the entertainnt industry, I do have so experience and connections, so transitioning to that would be most suitable."
Chu Feng smiled shyly and said, "I was just analyzing casually; the real operations would still depend on you, Sister Yan."
Cui Jingyan looked at Chu Feng and said, "You’ve learned to be modest, which is quite sothing."
Chu Feng said, "Sister Yan, I really agree with you starting an entertainnt company. But we can’t just have a company without any signed artists, can we?"
Cui Jingyan said, "I’ve got that figured out, too. I have a good friend who is a popular female singer with high fan popularity right now. I’ve already contacted her, and once my company is established, she’ll co to support . With her to create buzz, our company is sure to thrive."
"Who is it?"
As soon as he heard "beautiful celebrity," Chu Feng’s eyes lit up.
Cui Jingyan looked at Chu Feng and said with a trace of resentnt, "You little pervert, you’ve just taken liberties with your sister here, and now your thoughts are on soone else. Am I less attractive than a celebrity?"
Chu Feng quickly offered a flattering smile and said, "How could Sister Yan’s charm be any less than a celebrity’s? If Sister Yan were willing to join the entertainnt industry, I believe you would definitely beco the hottest star."
"Hehe! That’s more like it, at least you’re sweet-talking. But if you want to know who it is, you’ll find out when she arrives," Cui Jingyan said with a playful laugh.
Chu Feng said, "Sister Yan, in the early stage, perhaps one celebrity is enough to break the ice. However, if we want to develop in the late stage, one person is definitely not enough. Moreover, in the early stage, we need to build montum, do promotions, and hold various notices, along with various personnel costs and so on. Will our funds be under pressure?"
When the problem of funds was brought up, Cui Jingyan’s delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly as she said, "I’ve exchanged the shares of Golden Cauldron, plus my savings over the years and your thirty million, so it should be enough to maintain us for a while. For the late stage, we can develop further through venture capital or bank loans."
Chu Feng said, "Sister Yan, let’s not go for loans and venture capital. This is our own business; it’s best if we maintain full ownership."
Cui Jingyan sighed and said, "That’s what I would like too, but it’s really difficult. We might be able to sustain it in the first year, but I’m afraid our expenses will skyrocket from the second year onwards. Besides, I can’t keep asking my friends to help for free."
Chu Feng frowned, then said, "Sister Yan, let figure out the money issue; you just focus on running the company."
Cui Jingyan said, "You didn’t even graduate from high school, what could you possibly do?"
Chu Feng said, "Sister Yan, you’re forgetting about Fatty Tang; he wants to help him select stones, right? When the ti cos, I’ll help him choose so, negotiate a good ratio and cut, and then select so on my own to sell to him. I think with this, we shouldn’t have to worry about funds for a while."
Cui Jingyan’s eyes brightened when she heard Chu Feng’s words, but when she thought of letting this young man suffer the toil of such matters, her heart ached a bit.
"That will be very tiring for you, and even though Fatty Tang is reliable, the places he chooses stones from are extrely dangerous. I don’t want you to take the risk."
Chu Feng chuckled and said, "Sister Yan, have you forgotten? I’m soone who has survived a trip through Ghost Pass; how much more dangerous could it get? Plus, with Fatty Tang taking along, he’ll surely protect as if I were a giant panda."
Cui Jingyan smiled brightly and said, "The more I owe you, my brother, the more it seems I can’t even repay you without offering myself to you."
Chu Feng was still not very accustod to this and felt a bit embarrassed.
After a mont, Cui Jingyan smiled and said, "Today I’ll have soone draft a shareholding statent. You’ve invested thirty million, and now you’re the largest shareholder, holding about eighty percent. Once the shareholding statent is ready, you just need to sign it."
Chu Feng said, "Sister Yan, there’s no need for all this trouble; this business is ours, no need to be so exact in splitting it."
Cui Jingyan reproached him, saying, "Do you think running a company is child’s play? If the finances aren’t clear, you’ll invite all sorts of trouble later on, and it will be very difficult if you want to go public in the future."
Chu Feng offered an awkward laugh and said, "I don’t understand these things; I was wrong. Sister Yan, you handle it. But regarding the shareholding statent, does that an whoever signs it owns it?"
Cui Jingyan gave Chu Feng a sideways glance and said, "What, you’ve got a vixen stashed away sowhere, ready to give away your shares to her? That’s quite generous of you."
Chu Feng quickly explained, "No! No! Sister Yan, you know how hard my sister-in-law has worked all these years for . I plan to transfer all my shares into my sister-in-law’s na."
