No one expected that Ye Chen would directly change the ancestor worship ceremony once every 12 years to once a year.
You should know that although the ancestor worship ceremony is of great significance, it is also a waste of people and money.
So, an older member of the collateral branch in the crowd said: "Ye Chen... the ancestor worship ceremony is held every twelve years. It is a rule set by the ancestors. You have to change it to one year."
Once, is that too often? I personally think that it may not be a good thing for us to disturb the peace of our ancestors so frequently! If our ancestors are displeased, then this is a great disrespect to our ancestors!"
Ye Chen looked at him and said coldly: "Because it used to be once every twelve years, you guys named Ye have already forgotten your ancestors! Others said they would dig your ancestors' graves.
You all actually escaped from Yanjing overnight! Is this how you respect your ancestors?!"
The old man suddenly turned red and quickly shut his mouth.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Ye Chen asked, "Why don't you speak? Weren't you quite able to speak just now?"
After that, Ye Chen pointed to the Ye family's ancestral grave behind him and asked him coldly: "Come, in front of our ancestors, you can explain to our ancestors how on earth you respect your ancestors?"
The old man said with shame: "I...I was wrong..."
Ye Chen said coldly: "Don't tell me! Come out and tell your ancestors yourself!"
The old man could only walk out of the crowd, facing more than a hundred tombs of the ancestors of the Ye family, and said with shame: "The ancestors of the Ye family are on top, and the unworthy descendant Ye Weiming is wrong! I hope my ancestors will forgive me!"
Ye Chen snorted coldly and ignored the old man. He continued to face the more than 700 branches of the Ye family in front of him and said sternly: "Don't think that you are the branches of the Ye family. I, the head of the main family, make demands on you."
, I’m just bullying you!”
After that, he pointed at Ye Changkong, Ye Changyun, Ye Feng, Ye Hao and others who were kneeling on one side, and said coldly: "Open your eyes and take a good look at these people kneeling beside you! All of them are
Members of the Ye family! Here are my uncles, my uncles, my aunts, and my cousins. They made mistakes and they still have to kneel here for three days and three nights!"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Changkong and other Ye family members lowered their heads in shame one by one, while the more than 700 collateral branch members were also stunned!
Only then did they realize that Ye Chen's iron blood was not just for outsiders like them.
He was more cruel to his own family than to them!
Ye Chen continued to make shocking remarks at this time: "And I might as well tell you that most of them, from now on, will stay in Yeling Mountain for the next three years to observe filial piety for their ancestors!"
"In the next three years, even if there is a knife from the sky, they will not be allowed to leave even half a step!"
"Even if someone is seriously ill and needs to be admitted to the ICU, I will build the ICU for him in Yeling Mountain!"
When the Ye family members heard this, they all started to feel a little panicked. Just now, they thought Ye Chen was being cruel by letting his family kneel here for three days and three nights, but they didn't expect that there would be something even more cruel!
At this time, Ye Chen looked at them coldly and continued: "So you all listen to me. From now on, if any of you dare to betray the Ye family, or cause the Ye family to suffer losses, then you have one
If you count one of them, the end will definitely be worse than theirs!"
Seeing this, no one of the Ye family members dared to raise any objections to the ancestor worship ceremony.
The reason why Ye Chen holds an ancestor worship ceremony once a year is to continuously strengthen their loyalty to the Ye family through faster frequency, and at the same time let them understand the master-slave relationship between the Ye family and them, so that they can have the idea of loyalty to the emperor in their hearts.
, and then strengthen the Ye family's control over them.
At this time, a young man said: "I can understand that the ancestor worship ceremony is once a year, but why do we have to come to Yanjing every three months to report on our work?"
Ye Chen asked him back: "You are using the resources of the Ye family to make money from the Ye family. I ask you to report on your work every three months. Do you have any opinions?"
The young man said hurriedly: "Our family has moved overseas a long time ago, and has gradually shifted its business focus over the years. Currently, our overseas business has nothing to do with the Ye family."
Ye Chen nodded and asked him: "What is your name?"
The young man replied: "My name is Ye Tao."
Ye Chen nodded slightly and said, "Okay, let me ask you, what business is your family doing overseas now?"
Ye Tao said hurriedly: "We produce and sell Chinese-style furniture throughout Europe, mainly for Chinese customers, and our production location is Romania."
Marven frowned and asked: "Why do you want to produce Chinese furniture in Romania?"
Ye Tao replied: "Mainly because Romania's timber output is very high, and their labor costs are relatively cheap."
Marven asked again: "How many workers do you have in Romania? What is the annual output value?"
Ye Tao thought for a while and said: "We have nearly 10,000 employees in Romania, with an annual output value of about 2 billion euros and a net profit of about 20%."
Ye Chen nodded and said: "So, from this business alone, you have a net profit of 400 million euros a year."
"Yes." Ye Tao said: "A few years ago, our production base was still in China. It was I who suggested that the family move the production base to Romania."
Ye Chen asked him: "The production base is in China, why do you suggest moving to Romania?"
Ye Tao explained with some pride: "Originally, we produced in China and sold in Europe. Although the logistics cost was much higher, because the domestic labor force was relatively cheap, the overall profit margin was even higher than it is now. But after five years, I
I had a premonition that the EU would continue to increase tariffs and other taxes on foreign products in the future. In that case, our products would lose all advantages in the European market, and profit margins would then drop sharply. And I was indeed right. From three years on,
Starting a year ago, the EU has been continuously increasing tariffs on imported furniture, and so far it has been increased by at least 40%!"
Ye Chen nodded and said, "After you move your company to Romania, you will be able to avoid Europe's external tariff policy, right?"
"That's right!" Ye Tao explained: "When we moved our production base to Romania, we also re-registered a company in Romania, which is equivalent to turning our products into local products produced in Romania, and because Romania also joined
Because of the European Union, the entire European market has given great preferential policies to Romanian products, and in this way, we have actually enjoyed this preferential treatment."
"With lower tax costs, our prices can be lowered, which allows us to have more sales, so the overall profit margin is also considerable. In comparison, other companies that have been producing Chinese furniture in China,
Every company that sells to Europe has suffered heavy losses."
Ye Chen smiled and said, "It seems that you are quite good at business."
Ye Tao said confidently: "Of course, I completed my bachelor's degree at Yale University when I was twenty, and completed my MBA in two years. I have been involved in the management of the family business since I was eighteen. I dare not say that I am doing business."
He is a genius in business, but he is definitely much better than most entrepreneurs who are just talking on paper."
Ye Chen nodded slightly and smiled, and said: "In that case, you don't have to go back this time. You can stay in China and help me. By the way, I will also test you to see if you really have two brushes!"
