Chapter 205 - The Development (2)

"Negotiating with some lower malls and others will do." Yu Yan looked at Lei Xing Yi with puzzled expression. "Also, do you really think that with your current resources, you'll be able to compete with those at the very top chain? You will need more capital and also the method to supply a large amount of products at the same time."

Yu Yan's words were harsh but Lei Xing Yi knew that her current resources were really not enough. She could only pull back whatever plan she was thinking in her mind.

"Fine, one step at a time, huh?"

"Xingyan Company had only started for a few months. For you to think of competing with those at the top chain is already very remarkable." Yu Yan shook her head. She tilted her head. "Though, it would be possible for you to take over the second position soon."

"Hmmm?"

"The one who hold the top position is Bao Family. Not that Bao Gold whatever but the one under Mr. Bao Wang who was at the top. The other big families didn't really focus on jewelries because it's expensive even though it's profitable. Three company had already shut down so you can aim to race to the second place within the year."

Previously, the one who held the second place was either Bao Tu or her uncle. Yu Yan knew that their company earned a lot of sum. Though, they were forced to go bankrupt just last year.

If nothing went wrong, Xingyan Company should be able to retake their place and become the number two brand.

Lei Xing Yi's eyes lit up. "In that case, I'll leave the promotional plan to you. I'll settle the products and design."

Yu Yan was speechless. She raised her hand and poked Lei Xing Yi's forehead. "You little brat. Do you really think that I have so much free time? I'll only design the plan but you're the one who assign other people to do it. I believe you have enough people in the company to do that, right?"

"Fine, fine."

At the side, An Lin was watching their interaction with poker face. He had seen the two of them interacted outside but they were mostly polite. Now that he saw them interacted inside this small place…

He had just realized that the two of them were actually quite close. They were even capable of bantering with each other in the midst of work, ignoring each other's position.

But well, it was literally a company owned by the two girls, so it shouldn't be weird that they were close to each other, no?

"Stay behind for the time being. Kang San Hai will come to visit later." Lei Xing Yi pointed to the sofa, gesturing for Yu Yan to wait and not directly leave.

"Oh? I didn't expect him to come here too."

"He's also one of the shareholders. I pulled him in so that he could help in terms of negotiating. As much as I don't like his playboy manner, it's important to be able to negotiate with a lot of people." Lei Xing Yi scrunched her face when she thought of her cousin.

Yu Yan pictured Kang San Hai and couldn't help but nod her head in agreement. In any case, he was someone who was quite annoying at times but also quite capable when it came to socializing.

It was weird how so many girls easily fall for his charm. When he got married later, Yu Yan was sure that his Weibo would be surged with fans who were adamant for him to not get married.

"He's a shareholder?"

"Yeah, I push it to him, thought." Lei Xing Yi stuck out her tongue. She wanted to have a reason for having Kang San Hai helping her a bit in the company, so she sold him 5% share cheaply. In any case, she did need a lot of people to help her with work since she had only started.

"Do you rope in other investors? Your account didn't show any." Yu Yan then recalled another matter that she had been thinking about. The money that the company used seemed to only come from Yu Yan and her pocket.

"Nope. I didn't want to let those greedy b*stard have a share in this company." Lei Xing Yi gritted her teeth. The negotiation for them to have a share fell off and Lei Xing YI had no intention to bring it up anymore.

It was too annoying.

Yu Yan was speechless. "If you don't have investor, it'll be harder for you to earn more money faster."

"I'll just think of another method later. There are a few other shareholders but they only have small amount."

"Who?"

"Old Zhou, then there's also Old Su?" Lei Xing Yi tilted her head, seemingly trying to remember. 

Yu Yan was speechless. "I'll send more money for you to use later. If you lack money, you can just ask, you know?"

"Yes, you're the best, Sister Yan!"

"I'm also a shareholder and it's only right for me to help you out." Though, Yu Yan knew that she had already sent quite a lot of money to the company as the startup back then, it was nowhere near enough. Jewelries business was indeed quite expensive.

Knock! Knock!

"Boss, Mr. Kang San Hai is here."

"Let him in."

Kang San Hai walked in and looked at Lei Xing Yi with an amused expression. "Boss? I thought that your employee will have other way to call you."

"They didn't want to call me CEO because they think I'm too young." Lei Xing Yi spread her hands. "And since it'll be impolite to call me with Miss, they settled with Boss."

"Oh~."

It was only now Yu Yan recalled that Lei Xing Yi was nearly a decade younger than her. Eh wait, she had only finished high school last year, right? That mean, she was still 19 or 20 years old?

…She forgot how young her little cousin actually was.
