Seeing that An Chongqiu was unwilling to reveal the purpose of buying the medicine, Ye Zhongquan followed Ye Chen's previous instructions and prepared to casually agree to An Chongqiu's wishes first, and then give him a trick.
An Chongqiu also knew in his heart that Ye Zhongquan must be hiding something from him, so he said: "Uncle Ye, if you can help with this matter, the An family will not treat you badly!"
With that said, An Chongqiu added: "I heard that the Ye family lost a lot due to the Wanlong Palace some time ago. If the An family helps, it won't take long to make up for the loss!"
An Chongqiu thought he knew very well the mentality of the rich when their values suddenly plummeted. The mentality of many rich people is actually no different from that of gamblers. Once there is a huge fluctuation in assets, the mentality will change greatly.
The Ye family lost half of their net worth in one fell swoop. Ye Zhongquan, the head of the family, must be scratching his head and dreaming of recovering this loss.
However, it is easy to lose half of your family property overnight, but it may take ten, twenty or even more years to recover this half of your family property.
If Anjia gives Ye Zhongquan a little help, Ye Zhongquan will definitely shed tears of gratitude.
An Chongqiu's speculation was not wrong, but he completely misjudged the Ye family's situation.
If the Ye family really lost half of their property, Ye Zhongquan would definitely rack his brains to make up for the loss.
But the actual situation is that the Ye family's strength has not been affected in any way. On the contrary, if you include Ye Chen's strength, Ye Chen's assets and Ye Chen's connections, the Ye family's strength has more than doubled.
Therefore, he had no feelings at all about the olive branch extended by An Chongqiu.
So, he said to An Chongqiu righteously: "Chongqiu, we are all relatives. You are just talking about it. It's not that I don't want to help you, and it's not that I want to use this to negotiate terms with you. Please beg me."
This matter of mine is really not within my capabilities. All I can do is to help you pay attention and inquire about it. The rest is indeed beyond my power."
An Chongqiu remembered that Ye Zhongquan had always wanted to cooperate more with the An family, but every time he showed his kindness, the old man refused without hesitation. Unexpectedly, now that he represented the An family and extended an olive branch to Ye Zhongquan, Ye Zhongquan actually
Don't buy it at all.
Just when he thought Ye Zhongquan was playing hard to get and was thinking about how to change his words, Ye Chen gave Ye Zhongquan a hang-up gesture, and Ye Zhongquan immediately said to An Chongqiu: "Chongqiu, I have something else to do, let's wait another day
Let’s talk some more.”
After saying that, without waiting for An Chongqiu's response, he hung up the phone.
An Chongqiu was caught off guard on the other end of the phone.
Apart from the old man, it seemed that no other person had ever hung up on him so rudely.
Just when he was angry and hesitant, Ye Zhongquan on the other side put his phone back in his pocket and said to Ye Chen: "The An family is really arrogant. In the early years, they treated me as a poor relative and avoided me.
Now that you have come to ask me for help, your arrogance in your heart has not changed at all."
Ye Chen said lightly: "As an uncle like me, I can shout out at the scene that we will spend 370 billion to take away the Rejuvenation Pill. You can see that they are indeed arrogant. They are so arrogant that they do not put the rules set by others in the first place."
In my eyes, I always feel that as long as they have enough money, any rules will be changed for them."
Having said this, Ye Chen smiled slightly and said casually: "It doesn't matter, since they feel good about themselves, let them be."
Immediately, Ye Chen said again: "By the way, grandpa, I'm going to the United States in two days. It may take more than a month to come back. I hope you can take care of the affairs of the Ye family."
Ye Zhongquan asked curiously: "Chen'er, why are you suddenly going to the United States? Are you going to visit Anjia?"
Ye Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "How could it be? I was accompanying Churan to attend a training session."
Ye Zhongquan nodded and said: "Okay, don't worry about the Ye family. As for your uncle, I won't rush to find him anyway. If he wants to find me, I will definitely not see him."
"Okay." Ye Chen stood up and said, "Grandpa, it's getting late. You should go to bed early. It's time for me to go home. When will you return to Yanjing? I will go to the airport to see you off."
Ye Zhongquan said: "Don't bother. An old man like me sleeps less. I wake up naturally after five o'clock. After I wake up, I can eat something and ask Xiao Chen to take me to the airport. Don't come here specifically to see me off."
.”
Ye Chen thought that it was indeed a bit early to go to the airport at five or six o'clock, so he nodded and said: "Grandpa, in that case, I won't see you off. I will go to Yanjing to see you when I come back from the United States.
"
…
The next day.
Most of the bidders who participated in the auction returned to where they came from with the legend of the Rejuvenation Pill.
Although An Chongqiu checked out of the Buckingham Palace Hotel, he did not leave Jinling immediately. Instead, he planned to try his luck with Song Wanting again.
Coincidentally, Ye Chen also went to the Song Group early today. He wanted to discuss with Wanting Song the post-auction related matters.
Arriving at Wanting Song's office, Wanting Song handed Ye Chen a piece of information she had prepared in advance and said to him: "Master Ye, in yesterday's auction, our auction revenue for the Rejuvenation Pill auction was US$148.7 billion.
There is also $28 billion, which is Bernard Ernault’s installment;”
"The second is the four amulets you made, which cost a total of US$530 million;"
"Finally, our collection was sold for a total of US$365 million."
Speaking of this, Song Wanting said with some embarrassment: "Master Ye, I'm really sorry, Ji Qingtang's resources are still somewhat lacking in terms of ordinary works of art. We have basically brought out the best things we can find, but compared to Su
There is still a big gap between top auction houses such as Forbes and Christie's, so the transaction amount is not high..."
Ye Chen said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. The reason why there is still something missing this time is because Ji Qingtang's reputation has not yet been established. But now, Ji Qingtang must have become well-known among the world's top wealthy groups. We will prepare for the rejuvenation elixir auction next year."
When the time comes, all you need to do is let the wind out in advance, and those sellers with top-notch artworks will definitely flock to Ji Qingtang for cooperation."
Song Wanting nodded and said seriously: "Master Ye, thank you so much for this auction! Thank you for giving me this opportunity to Ji Qingtang. Thanks to you, Ji Qingtang can have such an opportunity to soar into the sky.
thank you……"
Ye Chen waved his hand and said: "Wanting, we have a cooperative relationship. Through cooperation, everyone gets what they need, mutual benefit, and common growth. You don't have to keep saying thank you."
Wanting Song nodded gratefully, and then hurriedly said: "By the way, Master Ye, the total revenue from the rejuvenation pills and amulets from this auction is 149.23 billion U.S. dollars;"
"However, from a financial perspective, there are no costs behind the revenue of more than 140 billion:"
"If we had no costs, the more than 140 billion would basically be net profits, and we would have to pay corporate income tax at 25%. How do you think this should be coordinated reasonably and legally? The raw materials for making rejuvenating pills over there,
And can the costs incurred during the production process be included?”
Ye Chen smiled and said: "How much can raw materials cost? With a revenue of US$149.23 billion, US$30 million after the decimal point is too much to consider as a cost. What's more, I did the production process myself, so this cost cannot be quantified."
, just forget it and pay all taxes based on net profits.”
Wanting Song was so shocked that she couldn't speak, and said: "Master Ye, do you really not want to consider making plans? This is more than 30 billion US dollars..."
Ye Chen waved his hand and said firmly: "No, just do as I said and pay all taxes based on the net profit."
Wanting Song took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Okay, Master Ye, I will make it clear to the finance department later."
Ye Chen nodded and said: "By the way, Wanting, in addition to donating all the money Bernard Ernault spent on distribution, help me with 10 billion US dollars in the name of the auction."
, donated to the China Charity Federation, but half of the money must be designated to be used for the life, education and medical care of poor people under the age of 18 and young people, infants and orphans, and the other half is used for the poor, orphans and widows over the age of 70
, the life, medical care and elderly care of the disabled elderly, another requirement is that they do not disclose the donor information to the outside world."
Wanting Song was so shocked that she couldn't speak, but she exclaimed in her heart: "This is 10 billion US dollars... Do you really want to donate it so roughly?"
Ye Chen then said: "By the way, donate another billion US dollars to Jinling. There is no limit to the use. As long as it is helpful to the development of Jinling, you can use it for anything."
Song Wanting's heart trembled when she heard this.
I have seen people doing charity, but I have never seen anyone doing charity like this.
But Ye Chen wasn't finished yet.
He thought of something and added: "By the way, Wanting, I also want to build a large welfare home in Jinling. The requirement is that it can accommodate at least more than 10,000 orphans. In addition to providing them with good living security, we also need to build supporting facilities."
Kindergarten, and twelve-year consistent school;”
"All construction costs, labor costs, teacher costs, and daily maintenance costs are all borne by me, and the teaching team must be of high quality, not only to provide children with excellent life and education, but also to allow them to be independent
Any kind of discrimination starts from kindergarten until graduation from high school."
"In addition, for all children who go to college from this welfare institution, all tuition, miscellaneous fees, and living expenses for the university will be borne by the welfare institution:"
Speaking of this, Ye Chen changed the topic and said: "In addition, all children who enter college from here must sign an agreement with the welfare institution. After graduating from college, master's degree, or doctorate, they must return to Jinling to work at least
In five years, let them contribute to the development of Jinling."
