Chapter 28: Seeking Cooperation from the Chi Family
"The Xiao family's current supply cannot satisfy Taihe Xuan. The reason why I approached Mr. Yun is because I am interested in the quality of the Yun family's jade. I guess they will not fool me with defective products."
Her words undoubtedly revealed the differences between the two forces, and she meant to ask Yun Gu to take sides.
He did not reply immediately, but fell into deep thought.
Ming Yin is not in a hurry. If she shows that she particularly needs the Yun family to provide jade, the sovereignty of the negotiation will fall into the hands of the Yun family, and she will not have the final say on the price.
"I need to seriously consider this matter and give an answer to Miss Ming in three days."
Yun Gu's answer was expected by Ming Yin. If he agreed to cooperate without hesitation, she would still doubt whether it was the Xiao family's instruction.
Yun Gu's cell phone rang. After answering the call, he looked at Ming Yin with an apologetic look, "Sorry, Miss Ming, something happened at the mine. I need to rush there. I'll ask my wife to take you there."
Ming Yin nodded lightly, "Okay."
The information to be conveyed has been conveyed in place, and all that remains is to wait.
The Yun family is built not far from the mine, making it convenient for Yun Gu to run there every day.
Standing on the peak, you can vaguely see the shadow of busy mining machines.
Ming Yin noticed that there was also a mine on the other side that was mining ore. The Yun family's ore vein was not big, so it probably couldn't reach this side. Of course, it could also be a newly purchased mine by the Yun family.
Mineral veins are divided into renewable and non-renewable mineral veins. Some families own more mineral veins and will sell the non-renewable mineral veins.
"The scale of the Yun family is getting bigger and bigger. Now that the two veins are mined together, it will develop into the national market and let everyone know about the Yun family jade."
Ming Yin learned this skill from Ye Li. If she wanted to pry out information from others, she had to first get closer to the two people, and the best way to get closer was to go along with the other person's preferences.
After she said this, Mrs. Yun's expression became obviously much more eager.
"That's not the Yun family's mine."
It is a pity that Yunjia does not have the ability to develop into the national market.
Ming Yin was a little surprised. The mine Mrs. Yun was looking at was at least twice the size of the other side, and the quality was unknown for the time being.
"Whose family does that belong to?"
It can’t belong to the Xiao family. In order to completely control the Yun family, he deliberately bought a mine near the Yun family. The value of the Yun family to the Xiao family is not worth it for Xiao Yang to do this.
"That's from the Chi family."
Chi family? Chi Xiao’s industry?
Ming Yin only knew that the Chi family owned a jewelry company, but she didn't expect that the family also owned a mine. With the Chi family's character, the scale would definitely not be small.
Mr. Feng had never told her about this. If she hadn't come to Yun's house this time, she might have missed this important information.
Returning to Taihexuan, Ming Yin immediately told An Xin the news. She would not know if she didn't check, but she was shocked when she checked.
The Chi family owns more mineral veins than the Xiao family. In addition to jade, there are other ores. However, apart from supplying the jade to their own industry, all other minerals are shipped abroad. It is unknown what they do specifically.
An Xin said excitedly: "If we can cooperate with the Chi family, what will happen to the Xiao family?"
After breaking up with the Xiao family, a sense of gloom lingered over everyone's heads, because they all knew that reaching cooperation with all those families was tantamount to wishful thinking.
Ming Yin was much calmer in comparison, "Please help me contact the Chi family first to see what their intentions are."
An Xin sent Chi an email in the name of Taihe Xuan, explaining his purpose of coming.
After waiting for a while, an address and time were sent over there.
Does this mean agreeing to cooperate?
Ming Yin felt that it was not that simple, but Taihexuan had no other way to go, so she could only choose to give it a try.
She arrived five minutes early, tapping her fingers on the table, thinking about how to negotiate with the people sent by the Chi family.
The door of the box was pushed open. She raised her eyes and saw a familiar figure walking into the box.
How did it come to him?
Ming Yin suddenly darkened her face.
"What? Miss Ming doesn't welcome me?"
Chi Xiao saw all her reactions. In recent years, many companies have sought cooperation from the Chi family, but he refused them all without exception. This is why the Xiao family is the largest jade business in the country.
When he heard Taihexuan, Ming Yin's face immediately appeared in his mind, and he agreed by coincidence and came to negotiate in person.
Unexpectedly, Taihexuan actually sent her here. It seems that her identity is not just as simple as an apprentice.
No matter how much Ming Yin dislikes Chi Xiao, she needs to calm down her emotions at this time and welcome others with a smile, "How could that be?"
But that smile didn't reach the depths of his eyes.
Chi Xiao originally thought that with Ming Yin's arrogance, he would not bow to anyone. After he took his seat, the waiter began to serve the dishes.
"I don't know Mr. Chi's taste, so I asked the store to serve a few signature dishes."
Chi Xiao is sitting here on behalf of the Chi family, so it would be inappropriate to call him Mr. Chi.
Although the address was set by him, when Ming Yin arrived, she found that he had not ordered the dishes in advance, so she made her own decision and ordered the signature dishes, and settled the bill at the same time.
Chi Xiao was quite satisfied with her knowledge. If he had to arrange everything, it would make him lose interest in cooperation.
"I'm not picky about food."
Several dishes with a strong Sichuan flavor were served on the table. There was only one soup without any chili pepper, and Ming Yin's chopsticks did not fall on other dishes during the whole process.
Chi Xiao noticed this and asked aloud: "Don't like spicy food?"
Ming Yin paused slightly with her chopsticks and responded quietly: "Yeah."
The purpose of coming here was not to eat. After taking a few bites, she put down her chopsticks.
"Mr. Chi."
Chi Xiao interrupted her, "We don't talk about official business during meal time."
Ming Yin had to wait patiently for him to finish.
The waiter took away the leftovers and brought tea.
Chi Xiao was the first to speak and took the initiative, "Miss Ming should know that the Chi family has recently developed internationally, and the ore industry does not intend to cooperate domestically. For the sake of Taihexuan, I am willing to give a chance to negotiate."
Whether she can seize the opportunity depends entirely on Ming Yin and whether she can offer conditions that Chi Xiao is satisfied with.
Ming Yin naturally did not fight an unprepared battle, "I heard that the Chi family recently purchased a large number of incomplete ancient books, and Taihe Xuan can provide a free quota for repairing one ancient book every month."
Although Taihexuan accepts restoration of ancient books, it only accepts one order per month, and some orders may not be received even if they are queued for several months.
Ming Yin made a second condition, "The hosta pond in Taihexuan always has the priority to purchase."
If two people are interested in the same hairpin, an auction will be used. Whoever exchanges items with higher value will get the hosta.
If you have the right to purchase, as long as Chi Xiao can come up with the exchange items, others will give them to him first, no matter how high the price they offer.
Chi Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and it had to be said that Yin was very good at taking advantage of her.
"I'm not short of money."
