Li Yeming was extremely annoyed by Ye Qing and Xi Yue's laughter.
Although Li Yeming wasn't very bright, she knew that arguing with Xi Yue and then continuing to argue with Ye Qing wouldn't help resolve the issue. So, suppressing her anger, she asked Ye Qing, "What do you mean? What are you laughing at?"
Ye Qing said, "Sister Li, although our relationship hasn't been pleasant lately, we're still in a cooperative relationship. After all, you and Xi Yue haven't finalized the split of the studio yet, so the studio and Zitai Fashion still have a cooperative relationship. I don't want to say anything too harsh, but if you insist on saying it this way, then we'll have to have a serious talk."
Although Ye Qing spoke casually, Li Ye knew from his opening remarks that what he was about to say would definitely be unpleasant. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she said nothing.
Ye Qing noticed Li Yeming's hesitation and said, "Judging from your expression, Sister Li, you probably have something to say. Don't rush, you can speak after I've finished."
You're saying your signboard is nothing more than the "brocade" signboard, right?
But you need to know that the "Jin" trademark is currently in Xi Yue's hands. The ownership of the trademark does not belong to you. Xi Yue and I have emphasized this point countless times, and I think you understand that. Even if we go to court, we are not afraid.
When I first mentioned opening classes and asking you to give lectures, it was because we were partners then, and we hadn't completely fallen out. But what about now?
Let's not talk about falling out now, Sister Li. Let's be frank and speak frankly. Just one question: Sister Li, do you really think your skills are unmatched, that you're a titan in this industry?
These few words made Li Yeming's face turn extremely ugly. It could be said that Ye Qing's words were like knives, each one hitting a fact that Li Yeming was trying his best to hide.
Back then, she couldn't even keep her own tailor shop afloat, which was not only due to market factors but also closely related to her own craftsmanship.
She actually knew all of this, but after working with Ye Qing, Ye Qing promoted her very highly. The model competition was named after the Jin brand, and she was also invited to be a guest and a judge for the competition. As a result, Li Yeming started to get arrogant and felt like she had really become a leading figure in the industry.
In fact, she is just a celebrity in this industry, not a leading figure.
At that time, Ye Qing was not unaware of Li Yeming's skills. Of course Ye Qing knew, but she still praised Li Yeming so highly. It wasn't because of Li Yeming himself, but frankly, it was for the sake of the fashion brand.
To bring Zitai Fashion back into the public eye, it would be a good idea to have Zitai Fashion sponsor a model competition at that time.
However, after considering various reasons, Ye Qing felt that using "Jin" as the name would be more effective, and this proved to be true.
At that time, Zitai Fashion only designed and produced women's clothing. There were many similar companies, and Jin was more suitable to attract attention, since the Jin brand was associated with traditional clothing.
So to put it bluntly, Ye Qing's initial approach was a comprehensive consideration of the business structure.
Seeing that Li Yeming's expression was very unpleasant, Ye Qing said, "It seems that you yourself know this, Sister Li. Since you know it, it will be much easier for us to continue our discussion."
Xi Yue had been arguing with Li Yeming for a long time, and she felt that Li Yeming was like a persistent leech.
Although using such words to describe Li Yeming is really inappropriate, it accurately describes the situation of Xi Yue and Li Yeming discussing the division of studios.
In an attempt to secure better terms, Li Yeming kept repeating the same few sentences, and Xi Yue answered them until her lips were sore, but to no avail.
Unexpectedly, Ye Qing was indeed sharp, truly hitting Li Yeming's weak spot. Xi Yue silently made a mental note of it, intending to learn from it in the future.
Li Yeming stared at Ye Qing for a long time, then took a deep breath, sat down behind his desk, and stared at Ye Qing: "So, how do you plan to negotiate?"
Ye Qing smiled and said, "I shouldn't be talking to you about this, but since you insisted on coming to me, I'll give you my suggestion."
After speaking, Ye Qing glanced at Xi Yue without making a sound, and Xi Yue nodded silently.
Ye Qing was brought in by Li Yeming, so Li Yeming naturally had no objections.
"It's come to this point, it's practically a complete falling out. There's no way to ease things by splitting up the studio. I think you know that, Sister Li. So I think your idea is simply to get some practical benefits, right?"
Li Yeming did not answer Ye Qing's question, but Ye Qing could tell from Li Yeming's words that Li Yeming had no objection and that this was exactly what he thought.
Since that's the idea, things will be easier from here on out. Ye Qing glanced at Xi Yue, thinking about what they had discussed before, and said, "Sister Li, the 'Jin' trademark definitely can't be given to you. If you really don't want to split up the studio, you must withdraw from all operations and management of the studio and not participate in anything related to the studio, including design. According to the contract you and Xi Yue signed, you will receive a share of the profits from your investment in the studio. If I remember correctly, when Xi Yue signed the contract with you and invested in your studio, her share was 70%, which means you only had 30%, right?"
Li Yeming's emotions were no longer as stubborn as before, and there was even a glimmer in his eyes.
Ye Qing knew that his method was a lucky one, but Ye Qing also had conditions: "If you agree, you can get 30% of the profits, but it is only 30% of the studio's annual net profit. For example, before the end of the year, your studio's income is your studio's net profit and the profits from Zitai Fashion, right?"
Li Yeming nodded, calculating in his mind how much bonus he could receive at the end of the year, based on what Ye Qing had said.
Although she only got a rough estimate, it was already quite good for Li Yeming, because she would never have earned so much money on her own. So Li Yeming was very proud of herself. Although she and Xi Yue had argued many times about splitting up the studio during this period, it seemed that arguing had its benefits.
Ye Qing could see Li Yeming's smugness, of course, since Li Yeming hadn't bothered to hide it, making it too easy for Ye Qing to spot.
But who is Ye Qing? She chuckled lightly.
Seeing Li Yeming's happy expression, Xi Yue thought, "Let him be happy, as long as the matter is resolved." She then decided to make a summary.
Ye Qing glanced at Xi Yue out of the corner of her eye and saw that she wanted to speak. Ye Qing quickly spoke up to prevent Xi Yue from saying anything that would be irreversible.
