Chapter 215 Awakening Huang Huamin
The meal at Yunfenglou was a new experience for Huang Huamin's family. Zhong Dingyi and the Luo couple also praised the kimchi dishes.
Even Mr. Cai, Liang Jingcheng and Ye Changyan's grandfather had eaten it for the second time, but they still felt it was amazing.
After the meal, everyone started chatting.
Huang Huamin and Ye Changyan came to a small private room next door. After the waiter served tea, he gently closed the door of the private room for them.
"When Su Yu Niang returned to Beijing, she took most of the hydrosols and perfumes in the store with her. She hoped to deliver a new batch of hydrosols and perfumes as soon as possible. She was under tremendous pressure when she left Shengjing. There are indeed many noble ladies in Shengjing who she and even the boss behind Fu Yuzhen cannot afford to offend."
As Huang Huamin spoke, he took out an envelope and handed it to Ye Changyan.
When Ye Changyan heard Huang Huamin say this, he smiled, took the envelope and opened it.
Inside the envelope was a transfer document for 10% of Hua Manting Yanzhilou's shares. Ye Changyan did not hesitate and put the transfer document back into the envelope and put it away.
"Brother Huang, although I have now occupied 30% of Hua Manting's share, I still understand that in your heart you are more inclined towards Su Yu Niang and the forces behind her, because these people can wipe out the industry you have worked so hard to build in the blink of an eye."
Huang Huamin could hear Ye Changyan's dissatisfaction with him, and Ye Changyan's words were very sharp and hit the nail on the head.
"Brother, since you saw through the reason at a glance, I'm sure you can understand my difficulties. Although I'm doing well in Yuzhou Prefecture and running a huge Hua Man Ting, how many people know how much effort I have put in to run this Hua Man Ting over the years."
Huang Huamin seemed to be getting emotional all of a sudden, but Ye Changyan remained quiet and listened carefully.
"Over the years, I have been busy in Shengjing, and the money I have spent is nothing. Many times, I have come to people's homes with silver in my arms, like a pug, wagging my tail and begging for mercy, but people may not look at me favorably."
"Take Fu Yu Zhen for example. In order to get the goods from Fu Yu Zhen, I gave Su Yu Niang all the benefits, which was almost enough to exchange for the transfer letter I gave you just now. Even so, Su Yu Niang often blocked my supply of goods. If you hadn't pushed her to me this time, how could I have any say!"
Seeing Huang Huamin looking at him with some excitement, Ye Changyan also became serious.
"Brother Huang, let me say something very unpleasant. If you have been a slave for too long, it is inevitable that you will not be able to stand up straight."
Ye Changyan's words made Huang Huamin look at Ye Changyan in astonishment.
"Why was Su Yu Niang able to control you so easily before? It's because she holds your lifeblood in her hands. You are like the dough on the chopping board, you can be squeezed and rolled as she pleases."
How could Huang Huamin not know this? But the other person had a hold on his weak spot and he could not move.
"But do you know the real reason why I don't want to cooperate directly with Fu Yuzhen and instead ask you for the 10% share?"
Huang Huamin remembered that Ye Changyan had mentioned the reason why he did this before, but now that Ye Changyan asked this, it was obvious that the previous reason was not the most fundamental reason, so he shook his head.
"Perhaps when I asked you for this 10% stake, you weren't really willing in your heart. You might think that I'm more of a vampire than Su Yu Niang."
Huang Huamin's face flushed a little, it seemed that Ye Changyan's guess was right. Ye Changyan raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a faint smile.
"I might as well tell you that I have only known Zhong Yunfeng for half a year. When I passed the examination, Zhong Yunfeng also came to my house to give me a gift with a speculative mentality. After several contacts, Zhong Yunfeng is a person who suits my temperament very well, so I chose to cooperate with Zhong Yunfeng, and I own 40% of the Yunfeng Building."
Huang Huamin couldn't believe that a big family like the Zhong family would actually agree to give 40% of the share of Yunfeng Tower to Ye Changyan, a young scholar from the countryside. Before Huang Huamin could completely recover from his doubts, Ye Changyan's next words made Huang Huamin break down.
"I guess you can't believe it, but I actually own 40% of Yunfeng Building's shares. But the fact is, I also own half of the cattle farm and milk processing plant."
Huang Huamin guessed that Ye Changyan should have a considerable share in the cattle farm and milk processing workshop, but he could not imagine that Ye Changyan actually held half of the shares.
Huang Huamin was puzzled at the beginning. How could Zhong Yunfeng, who ran a restaurant, open a cattle farm and a milk processing workshop? Moreover, the Zhong family also ran a cargo store, so these were completely unrelated things.
After hearing what Ye Changyan said, Huang Huamin seemed to suddenly understand. This must be Ye Changyan's idea. Although he was not clear about the details, Ye Changyan must have played an extremely important role in it. Perhaps the recipe for this Wei Haojia candy came from Ye Changyan.
If it is true as he guessed, with the current popularity of Haojia candy, and Ye Changyan holding 50% of the shares of the cattle farm and processing workshop, it seems that Zhong Yunfeng is the one who got a big bargain.
Thinking of this, Huang Huamin seemed to be enlightened all of a sudden.
Wasn't it my original intention to buy the recipes for making pure dew and perfume from Ye Changyan?
But Ye Changyan did not agree. Instead, he set a trap for himself. He almost agreed to it. Fortunately, Zhong Yunfeng reminded him in time.
Thinking about it now, Ye Changyan might have been testing him at that time, but Zhong Yunfeng saw through Ye Changyan's plan and kindly reminded him. Seeing that he was not getting the point, Ye Changyan proposed to take 20% of Hua Manting's share.
When Su Yu Niang went to the Ye family, Ye Changyan declined the opportunity to cooperate directly with Su Yu Niang and asked Su Yu Niang to talk to him. However, Ye Changyan asked for another 10% of the share.
Now it seems that this is the second chance Ye Changyan gave him, but his performance made Ye Changyan not so satisfied.
Ye Changyan was a young country boy who passed the imperial examination and became a scholar at a young age. He was also favored by Mr. Cai, who made an exception and accepted Ye Changyan as his real closed disciple even though he had accepted a so-called closed disciple before.
Ye Changyan, a country scholar, not only knew the recipes for wintersweet pure water and perfume, but also the recipe for Weihaojia candy. If he said he didn't have extraordinary abilities, even his own son Huang Jie wouldn't believe it.
Huang Huamin finally realized where his problem lay. He came back to his senses and looked up to see Ye Changyan drinking tea quietly, with no intention of interrupting his thoughts.
