When the old general wasn't angry, he usually had a pretty good temper. He even showed some of the usual interest of an old man when he talked to Zhan Siyu about the Ye family's tower project.
Nan Xiangwan said with a smile, "The Happiness Community has two very talented designers who also participated in the construction of the Ye Family Tower!"
"If the old general ever wants to build a building this tall in the future, he should definitely look to them!"
The old general nodded silently, and then they walked together into the Ye family's tower.
This tower has more than 170 floors, and the 88th floor in the middle is where Mr. Ye usually works.
When Grandpa Ye heard that the old general and Zhan Siyu had arrived at the tower, he quickly went out to greet them.
"What a rare guest! Our tower isn't even open to the public yet, why is the old general in such a hurry to come and take a look?"
“Miss Nan, I ate the lobster that Chaoqun brought back yesterday. It was so delicious! Doesn’t your food court plan to add it to the ingredient list?” Grandpa Ye asked.
Recently, Grandpa Ye has found many more joys in life. In addition to trying out the new culture of the Blue Planet every day, he also enjoys the daily delicacies brought back by Ye Chaoqun.
Ye Chaoqun practically lives in Xingfu Community, enjoying his three meals a day to the fullest.
By the way, after we finish eating, we should pack some back for the Ye family to try.
These past few days, the Ye family has been raving about the food on Aquamarine Star, and they even want to move to the Happiness Community.
Zhan Siyu laughed and said, "Lobsters are not a common species right now, so they're not on the regular menu yet. But if Grandpa Ye wants some, we can prepare some for you!"
"Once the aquaculture industry develops, we will develop lobster cultivation technology!"
Grandpa Ye nodded silently. It seemed that he probably couldn't eat lobster now. There were only more than three hundred lobsters left in his space, which were just in case. He would take them out occasionally to satisfy his craving.
Since the other party didn't have a large quantity of lobsters, Grandpa Ye stopped making trouble.
"Forget it, let's just wait. Anyway, I can live for another ten years or so!"
"By the way, what brings you here today with the old general? Such a grand display!" Old Master Ye asked.
Several people went inside, and the Ye family poured each of them a cup of tea.
Recently, Nan Xiangwan and Zhan Siyu's names have become well-known throughout Rose News, so many people want a photo and autograph when they see them.
After Nan Xiangwan had been busy for a while, Old Master Ye quickly asked everyone else to leave the office.
"Alright, they've come to talk to me about serious business. Do you think this is a fan meeting?"
“If you want to see Miss Nan, you can go to Happiness Community or the Food Court, but today we need to have a serious business discussion!” said Old Master Ye.
After all, this was the Ye family's headquarters, a place where they did business. They were well aware of Old Master Ye's personality, so they quickly withdrew.
Nan Xiangwan was relieved at this moment, but he hadn't expected that Old Master Ye would be so clever as to guess their intentions so quickly.
"So the old man had already guessed it?" Nan Xiangwan said with a smile.
Grandpa Ye sighed. He had actually spoken with the elders of the Ye family yesterday.
"You two have come here to talk to me about patents and disclosures?" he asked.
The old general sat to one side the whole time; after all, he was only there to listen in and be a witness.
This is no small matter. If Zhan Siyu makes all the technology public and spreads the soil-modifying potion he developed throughout the entire Rose Star, it will be a huge deal.
That would mean the soil environment of the entire planet has changed.
Changes in the soil environment do not harm the planet in any way; in fact, they bring many benefits.
For example, they no longer need to consume bland nutritional supplements and can grow some plants and fruits on their own land.
Even after the plants are cultivated, Zhan Siyu will be able to develop the aquaculture industry and provide meat for Rose Star.
However, this is not a good thing for the Ye family.
"Originally, if you handed over these technologies to me, I would have arranged a unified place for breeding and planting, which would have been a kind of technological monopoly!"
"Moreover, everyone on Rose Star is currently very enthusiastic about good food; it's practically a money tree!"
"You two young people may not understand how important money is, nor do you understand what the interests of a family really represent. Are you really determined to make this technology public?"
Old Master Ye's feelings were somewhat complicated. He was surprised that Zhan Siyu and Nan Xiangwan were so indifferent to fame and fortune.
At the same time, the two of them did not act unilaterally, but instead sought the Ye family's opinion.
This mutually respectful cooperation model was actually well-received by Mr. Ye, but he needed to find out the details first.
Nan Xiangwan said, "Grandpa, I know your Ye family needs funds to survive!"
"But beyond making money, what's more important for us is ensuring the continuation of our culture and our lives!"
"Only by completely opening up soil cultivation and livestock breeding can life spread throughout the entire planet!"
Grandpa Ye was moved by these words; he had once had the same dream when he was young.
Looking at Nan Xiangwan and Zhan Siyu, it was as if I was seeing myself when I was young.
His eyes welled up with tears instantly.
But he's getting old, and even tears welling up in his eyes don't last more than a few minutes.
"Have you thought this through? If you don't monopolize these technologies and patents, someone else might monopolize them in the future!"
"What will you do when they use your skills to make money? It will be too late to regret it then!" Grandpa Ye asked.
He was still somewhat reluctant to leave, but of course, this was a good thing that would benefit the entire planet, and he had no reason not to agree.
It's just that I feel a bit frustrated that I can't earn this money that's right in front of me.
Mr. Ye is over two hundred years old. He has been in business for two hundred years, so he prioritizes profit in everything he does, which is in line with his businessman nature.
However, he is also a very conscientious entrepreneur who believes that opening up the technology is beneficial to everyone at Roseheart and does not want to oppose it.
Nan Xiangwan said, "This isn't called technological monopoly; it's called releasing life!"
"We know how to study food and retain customers through taste; that's what true technological monopoly is!"
"Mr. Ye, we signed a profit-sharing agreement for the food court, so I can guarantee that the Ye family will not lose a single penny of what it is entitled to!"
