Twelve years later.
Yingbao is seventeen years old now. Time flies so fast; in the eyes of her parents and relatives, it's only been a moment.
Yingbao has grown up and blossomed into a graceful and elegant young woman. Her bright, sparkling eyes add a touch of charm to her face, making her even more captivating.
Everyone yearns for beautiful things; no one is an exception.
Over the past twelve years, the economy has developed well, society has progressed harmoniously, and many different kinds of shops and stores have appeared on the market.
The Ye family has also undergone tremendous changes, and now they all live in a courtyard house in Beijing.
Yingbao and his family expanded Lao Ye's skewers, spicy hot pot, braised dishes... all over the country. They also added many other businesses, including clothing, jewelry, interior design, and many more...
The first person to engage in cross-industry business.
When they first started in the clothing industry, they weren't very confident. It was only after Yingbao encouraged them and Ye Yuanhang assisted them that they agreed to join.
Yingbao said: "Being content with the status quo is certainly reliable, but continuous development and growth, innovation are equally important."
Ye Yuanhang chimed in, "Failure isn't scary; what's scary is not daring to try. If no one has ever sold clothes before, how can they know if it's a success or a failure? Of course, even if you fail, you can still learn from the experience and apply it to the future."
After listening, Wang Cuihua and Ye Yaozu, the heads of the Ye family, thought for a while and agreed.
With both elders agreeing, the son, daughter-in-law, and daughter wouldn't have too many objections, since it's a good thing.
So, the two brothers, Ye Tianyong and Ye Tiancheng, were sent to scout ahead first. They traveled together from south to north to Haishi, a bustling city with many fashionable, novel, and unique things.
The two spent three days traveling east, west, and south, getting a good understanding of the area. They then went directly to a clothing factory with a good reputation to start sourcing goods. Their styles offered better value for money than other factories, and this decision led these two rough-around-the-edges yet meticulous individuals to make their move.
They were received by Mr. Chen, the factory manager. Mr. Chen was wearing a gray-brown Zhongshan suit and an expensive pocket watch. Judging from its quality and luster, it must not be cheap and could not be afforded by an ordinary family.
The material of the Zhongshan suit is also top-notch.
Mr. Chen had a keen eye. He could tell from Ye Tianyong and Ye Tiancheng's travel-worn appearance that they had come to him on business. He stood up and asked gently, "Are you two distinguished guests here to purchase goods?"
Ye Tianyong nodded and began to flatter the other party, saying, "Is this Mr. Chen? Brother Chen? My brother and I heard from a friend that your prices are fair and the quality is good. He came here to buy a batch of goods and felt that they were good and selling well... We also wanted to come and take a look."
Ye Tiancheng added, "If the price and quality are acceptable, we would like to purchase some goods from you."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Chen, assuming the two men were experts because they mentioned needing to purchase only a portion of the goods, didn't raise the price and directly stated his bottom line:
"I see that you two brothers are honest people, so I'll lower the price to the lowest possible level for you. Take a look and if you think it's suitable, then take it."
The rest was left unsaid, but Ye Tianyong and his brother knew what it meant: if you feel it's not a good fit, just leave.
