After the banquet, Mr. Yan took the initiative to find Su Yan and said, "Xiao Su, take me to visit your orchid base someday."
"good."
"Xiao Su, you are really capable. The whole country is crazy about orchids now. I didn't expect you to build such a large orchid base."
"Mr. Yan, do you have something to say to me?"
"Well, Clivia is very popular now. Xiao Su, I know you have quite a few orchid seedlings."
Su Yan nodded, "Yeah, I have quite a few."
"Xiao Su, how about we partner up to speculate on orchids? You lack connections, and I lack sources of supply. You provide the orchids, and I'll help you auction them off, but I'll take 30% of the profits. My family owns an auction company in Gangcheng."
Although Su Yan felt that 30% profit was a bit too much, she would definitely be more than happy to get on board the Yan family.
"Mr. Yan, isn't this a bit too much? I have not only the precious lotus orchid, but also very rare orchids, such as the crystal orchid."
Su Yan did not display those particularly rare orchids in the greenhouse. If the Yan family held an orchid auction in Gangcheng, she could take some out. She also wanted to go to Gangcheng to take a look and register a company there.
"Xiao Su, do you have any rare orchids that you haven't taken out yet? Where did you find these orchids?"
“I paid a high price for it.”
"If you really have a lot of rare orchids, our Yan's Auction House can reduce the commission by 10%."
Su Yan didn't expect that Mr. Yan would be so easy to talk to. Since he took the initiative to make concessions, she had no reason to refuse.
"Mr. Yan is so easy to talk to. I think we can cooperate and make a fortune together."
"Hahaha, well said, let's get rich together. Do you know what our family auctioned off before the Hong Kong City Auction House?"
"They should be antique paintings and calligraphy, right?"
"Well, that's all. Orchid fever is all the rage in China right now, so I'm planning to partner with you to organize an orchid exhibition in Gangcheng and hold an auction of rare orchids tonight. My second son, Yan Jun, will be in charge of this. Feel free to contact him when you have time."
Su Yan had met Yan Jun many times, but she was not very familiar with him. At most, they were just acquaintances. They would nod and say hello when they met, but they didn't chat much.
"Okay, then I'll wait for Second Master Yan to come over to discuss cooperation."
After Su Yan talked with Mr. Yan, Yan Jun came to discuss cooperation in person a week later. Not only him, but also his two partners came, one was the returned overseas Chinese Qin Peiran, and the other was his childhood friend Chen Jing.
Su Yan also invited her second brother Su Lang to come over. She thought that if there were some things that were inconvenient for her to deal with, she could ask her second brother to come forward to solve them.
Of course, business has to be discussed over a dinner table. Since Yan Jun and his friends took the initiative to come to Su Yan to discuss business, Su Yan naturally had to treat them to a meal.
In order to entertain them well, Su Yan specially took out a sheep from the space and made a roasted whole lamb.
"Hello, Mr. Yan, Mr. Qin, and Mr. Chen. This is my second brother, Mr. Su Langsu."
Yan Jun and the others stood up and shook hands with Su Lang one by one. Chen Jing asked with a smile, "Where is Mr. Su employed?"
"I used to work in a company, but later I went out on my own and started a small business. What do you three do?"
Qin Peiran said, "Our company is mainly overseas. Mr. Yan's family runs a shipping company, but I plan to come back and invest. I'll start by opening a clothing factory and then see if there are other profitable businesses."
Yan Jun smiled and said, "My family does a little bit of everything."
Before the reform and opening up, their small boat service company belonged to the state, and they could only get a small share every year. Now that their company has been separated and become a private enterprise, the business is booming.
However, no matter how well their Yan family's company performs, it is still a step behind the Qin family. After all, the Qin family has been developing overseas for so many years and has two or three companies, while their Yan family's auction company in Gangcheng has only been around for twelve or thirteen years.
Seeing Qin Peiran and Yan Jun being so low-key, Chen Jing smiled and said, "Both their ancestors were businessmen, and my generation has started a small business."
Su Lang's heart trembled, and he asked cautiously, "What kind of small business does Brother Chen have?"
"My friend and I set up a small furniture factory."
Su Lang had just breathed a sigh of relief when Yan Jun said again, "Mr. Su Lang, don't listen to what Comrade Chen Jing says. The furniture factory he built is not small at all, and he owns more than one factory. His father is a general, and his father and brother-in-law both work in Zhongnanhai."
Su Lang understood that this Chen Jing was probably the son of an official. Although his eldest brother was also an official, he was still far inferior to Chen Jing.
Yan Jun's ancestors were not only in business, but his father seemed to have held an important position in the Ministry of Commerce before his retirement.
Qin Peiran seemed to see Su Lang's embarrassment and said with a smile: "Brother, sit down! Aren't you going to talk to Boss Su about the orchid auction?"
"Yes, yes, Boss Su, my old man told you before that our family also has an auction house in Hong Kong City, right?"
"Yes, the old man said so."
"It's like this, the auction house was previously handed over to my eldest brother to manage, but unfortunately he has been in Hong Kong City for many years and rarely comes back.
My dad has decided to work with you on an orchid exhibition. He's handed it over to me. You two agreed on the commission yesterday. Let's discuss the details today."
Su Yan knew that Yan Jun didn't know much about orchids, so she took photos of the orchids to be auctioned in advance and compiled them into a booklet, which marked the orchid's name, type, attributes, growth characteristics, etc.
"Okay, I'll organize the orchids I'm going to auction into a brochure. Take a look at it first. If you think they're suitable, we can set a price for them."
"Boss Su, we'll have to wait a little longer to decide on the price of the orchids. How about you give me this brochure first and go to the harbor? Then we can come back and decide on the price together?"
"Okay, but next time you hold an auction, I'll also go to Hong Kong City."
Yan Jun's face looked a little bad. Does this Boss Su not trust their Yan family very much?
"Are you going to Hong Kong?"
"Well, I'm going to register a company over there."
Qin Peiran's eyes lit up. Isn't this Boss Su quite smart? She knew to register a company in Hong Kong first, and then return to the mainland to invest and do business. She would definitely be able to enjoy the benefits that the country provides to foreign investors.
"Boss Su, how can you register a company in Hong Kong when you're unfamiliar with the place? If you're willing to give up an extra 10% of the profits, our Yan family can help you with that."
Yan Jun was a business man and didn't feel ashamed at all to ask Su Yan for 10% of the profits. Su Lang sighed, thinking that the richer one is, the more stingy one becomes.
Su Yan was quite open-minded. The world is bustling with people, all for profit. There's no business without profiteering, so there's nothing to worry about. If the Yan family really could find a way to get her to register a company in Hong Kong, what would it matter if she gave up 10% of the profits?
