Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife-Chapter 516: Swallowing!

There’s such a good thing?

Song Yun always felt something was off about the situation. If the other party sent someone to help him set up the framework, then who would the company ultimately belong to?

Even if the company was nominally under his flag, would his decisions be correctly implemented at the grassroots level if all the staffs’ hearts were elsewhere?

"I’ll contact the other shareholders of Mountains and Waters Corporation to see what’s really going on."

It was nine o’clock at night in Hua Country, but across the Atlantic in Eagle Country, it was daytime.

Andrei, being of noble birth, was enjoying a lavish meal tended to by servants.

His family was a renowned noble house in Eagle Country with a long line of distinguished members. Just within the council, they held four seats, all in key positions.

As the youngest member of his family, Andrei was unaffected by his elders’ influence; instead, he loved to sail around the world on his yacht.

This was also a significant reason for his investment in Mountains and Waters Corporation.

"Master Andrei, you have a call."

The butler approached quietly, bending over to place his mobile phone on the table.

Andrei glanced casually at the phone and his expression changed briefly—the incoming call was from Mr. Song Yun, currently the largest shareholder of Mountains and Waters Corporation!

In the face of someone as mysterious and powerful as Song Yun, Andrei did not dare to slack off, even as a duke’s son. He felt so small.

"My dear Song, what wind has blown you my way?"

Having traveled the world, Andrei had learned several foreign languages. He had studied Huayu for four whole years before barely scraping the surface, and now he finally had the opportunity to put it to good use.

"Andrei, are you still traveling? I envy you for having so much spare time."

Song Yun said with a laugh.

Upon hearing this, Andrei burst into laughter, "My dear Song, I’ve just finished my trip to the Aegean Sea. There, I encountered a once-in-a-century storm. Had it not been for God’s blessing, the person answering your call today might’ve been my father."

"A storm? That’s indeed bad luck, but isn’t that the essence of travel? Encountering people you’ve never met, experiencing things you’ve never gone through."

"Oh! That’s exactly what I wanted to say! What doesn’t kill me only makes me stronger! My body, my spirit, they’ve taken a great hit, but I survived! This means I’ve risen to a new level!"

Andrei said exuberantly, "Song, I know you’re busy, so if there’s anything I can help with, just let me know. I’ll surely assist because our board’s motto has always been, ’Everyone for me, and I for everyone!’"

"It’s nothing too serious, I just want to ask you about something."

Song Yun recounted the diamond supplier’s situation to Andrei.

After listening, Andrei pondered for a moment before saying, "I’m aware of this diamond supplier, and what they’ve told you is true, they certainly have the capacity. However... it seems their reputation isn’t that good; you should give this some serious thought before deciding whether to collaborate with them."

"Reputation? What specifically about it?"

"Takeovers!"

Andrei said seriously, "Their group is very well-known in the jewelry world, but whenever they expand into a new area, although they help their partners set up companies, once the company becomes stable, they slowly swallow up the remaining shares and push out the partners. Although the partners do make a profit in the end, who would want their hard work to benefit someone else?"

"Is that so..."

Song Yun said calmly, "Then hasn’t anyone resisted?"

"Heh... When they once expanded into Eagle Country, I got involved, but the result was me entering with ten million pounds, and leaving, a year later, sheepishly with fifteen million pounds."

Andrei said with a wry smile, "People like us can’t possibly stay in the office twenty-four hours a day. A slight misstep, and the adversary will gradually erode the grassroots. By the time we realize it, none of our orders can be properly executed."

"Alright, thank you, Andrei. This is very important intelligence."

Song Yun said with a smile, "I hope you’ll visit Hua Country when you have the time; I’ll certainly treat you well."

"Great! If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now. After all, I still have my gourmet meal to enjoy. In this world, only beauty and good food should not be disgraced."

"Goodbye!"

"Goodbye!"

After hanging up, Song Yun looked at Ye Qingqing’s father’s expression and whispered, "Dad, you heard the conversation just now. Whether we get involved or not, it’s really just about making a short-term investment."

"We need to think about it carefully."

Ye Qingqing’s father said with a furrowed brow, "If it weren’t for this piece of news, I would have still been in the dark."

"Dad, who told you about this?"

"One of your uncles who’s in the jewelry business asked if I was interested in getting involved. After all, you are now the richest man in Magic Capital, and naturally, you would be their first choice for partnership."

Ye Qingqing’s father sighed, "They are holding a press conference tomorrow, and we are among the invitees. Would it seem too arrogant if we don’t show up?"

"Then let’s go. Cooperation is mutual; we can’t just partner with them because they have a deep background. Besides, I think the jewelry industry is too complex and its value too inflated. If we don’t have our own mine, then all supplies are in their hands."

"If we fall out one day, our distribution channels will be completely controlled by them. I believe they’ve used the same tactics in their other expansions."

Hearing Song Yun’s words, Ye Qingqing’s father nodded thoughtfully, "Then stay here tonight. Tomorrow morning we’ll go to the press conference together. You should also engage more in social activities. Although those people may not have as much wealth as you, each industry has its unique insights, and it’s beneficial to observe more."

"Sure! Let’s have another drink, just you and me."

Song Yun and Ye Qingqing’s father continued drinking until nearly eleven at night. Ye Qingqing’s father was drunk to the point of stumbling and needed Ye Qingqing’s mother’s support to walk, while Song Yun was completely sober after a bath.

It seemed that the body reworked by the system had its advantages; his liver broke down alcohol so quickly that he wouldn’t get drunk unless he drank heavily right from the start.

"Husband, what did you and dad talk about tonight?"

Ye Qingqing had just finished her bath as well and came out of the bathroom drying her hair.

"We’re attending a press conference tomorrow to see what kind of cooperation the diamond supplier will offer."

Song Yun said with a smile, "Actually, I don’t think they will necessarily choose us tomorrow. If they understand the situation in Hua Country, they definitely wouldn’t want to collaborate with someone with a deep background, lest the tail wags the dog."
