20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3631 Zhao Chang'an's Invitation

Ye Heqiu's branch ventured into the domestic market with a relatively small investment of only 20 to 30 million RMB. Afterwards, through equity transfer, they not only recovered all their investment but also made a small profit.

Meanwhile, in the past two years, together with Ye Hefeng's faction, they have been redividing the sphere of influence in Europe. Such a large vacuum area will take a long time to sort out, leaving no time to explore markets outside of Europe.

Although the Ye family's core business is the "Ye Family Centennial Chinese Medicine Shop," they were initially required to invest heavily in infrastructure projects in Europe, such as electricity, water supply, city heating, and public transportation.

It helped local urban development and economic growth, and unexpectedly made a fortune.

Although they were subsequently asked to withdraw from these infrastructure industries, the Ye family continued to invest in various sectors after tasting the benefits. Now that Ye Pingbai's branch has withdrawn from the European market, it is not so easy for them to fill the gaps in these companies.

These also require a lot of money, energy, and time.

However, Ye Ziyu and Ye Yiyi were furious. For the past two years, they had maintained contact with the people involved in several projects they had originally invested in in China, and they knew that the rapid development of these projects in the past two years proved the accuracy of their initial judgment.

The problem is that Ye Hefeng and his group dare to return to China for tourism, visiting their ancestral home and investing, but they really don't dare, for fear that Ye Henian will use control over them to force Ye Jingtian to come out.

Just like Ye Jingchen's previous activities were all in the Western Europe and the Atlantic Ocean, now he has gone to South America to explore underwater shipwrecks, which is also a way of actively avoiding this area.

Right now, everyone looks respectable and harmless, but that's because the time and crucial opportunity haven't come yet. Once the opportunity arises, their fangs will be revealed with absolute ruthlessness and bloodshed.

Just like Ye Bai, who had been a wanderer in North Africa for nearly ten years and no one paid attention to him, seemingly forgotten by the world, his brother came to him as soon as he arrived in Xingcheng and took care of him that very night.

The two women naturally knew that Zhao Chang'an and the Ye family branch were not on good terms. If they were on good terms, they wouldn't have broken Ye Jinghai's ribs or poached Ye Henian's three lackeys.

However, when they saw Zhao Chang'an inviting Ye Hefeng and the others back to China, both of them were shocked, because this meant that Ye Hefeng and Ye Henian might join forces in the future. So while they were stirring up trouble, they also found Zhao Chang'an's handsome face less appealing.

Sensing that the atmosphere was a bit off, Zhao Chang'an smiled and didn't argue anymore. As for whether Ye Hefeng and the others were willing to return to China to invest, that was their own business. For a great country like China, one more investment wouldn't make a difference, and one less investment wouldn't make a difference either.

When they saw Zhao Chang'an give them a bright and handsome smile, both women's hearts skipped a beat. Men love beautiful women, and women love handsome men just the same. Although they were both born in Sweden, the human standard of beauty is actually quite common.

Zhao Chang'an's handsome looks need no further explanation. Standing at 1.8 meters tall with a slender and muscular physique, he is the kind of man who can make women swoon just by looking at him.

Unlike Ye Qianru and her group, the two women were not familiar with many things in China or with celebrities. They had been doing business in China for over a year and had made many friends in Tianjin and Beijing. Since leaving China more than a year ago, they had heard their names mentioned and admired them from their friends back home.

At this moment, Zhao Chang'an's smile was just like Jiang Feng's smile in The Legendary Twins, instantly dissolving the hostility that the two women had just harbored.

Seeing the two women's eyes soften a bit, Zhao Chang'an then looked at them again with a more careful eye.

At first, I thought the two girls were pretty, probably like Lu Lan and Chen Li. But Lu Lan was interesting because I'd known her since junior high, and she was obedient. She would listen to whatever I wanted to do, even if she blushed and closed her eyes in embarrassment.

Moreover, thinking of Qi Youmei's sour face and the rumors she had spread about him before, he felt very pleased. Chen Li was a woman with large breasts, and Lu Jianmo had been longing for but could not have. Seeing her intoxicated expression under him also gave him a lot of pleasure.

In other words, psychological pleasure is actually more important than physical sensation.

Otherwise, if Lu Lan marries another man, seeing Qi Youmei's smug face, or if Chen Li marries Lu Jianmo, with Lu Jianmo acting as if he's more than satisfied with his husband, Zhao Chang'an would inevitably feel very unhappy.

In addition, the presence of Ye Qianru, a mixed-race beauty, made Zhao Chang'an initially somewhat ignore the two women.

But looking at them again now, you can see that the two women have bright, beautiful eyes and fair, rosy cheeks with a faint flush from drinking. Sitting together, they look like a pair of twin lotus blossoms, radiant and beautiful.

When they looked into each other's eyes, they unconsciously revealed a woman's shyness. Judging from their figures and appearances that were currently exposed above the table, they were definitely two women who were worth getting to know.

"Our main purpose in coming to Europe this time is to find partners in the mobile phone industry chain. We are currently preparing to negotiate with Ericsson."

Zhao Chang'an explained to the group.

Ye Qianru glanced at Zhao Chang'an, then at the two women sitting opposite her.

When Ye Hefeng heard Zhao Chang'an mention the mobile phone industry, he immediately lost interest. He told Zhao Chang'an, picked up his wine glass, and left his seat to toast his old friends.

"Don't be fooled by how popular the mobile phone business is right now; it's already saturated. Unlike the traditional Chinese medicine industry, where 'an ounce of dried tangerine peel is worth an ounce of gold,' this isn't a joke; that's where the real profits are."

Ye Jingming said to Zhao Chang'an, "Westerners don't really recognize this, but Easterners do. Our customers here are mainly from Asia. A good dose of traditional Chinese medicine costs one or two hundred euros, and it's easy to price it at two or three thousand. China has over a billion people, and there are also neighboring countries like Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia. As you said, Mr. Zhao, China's economy is developing very rapidly, so the revival of traditional Chinese medicine is not impossible."

"Yes, that's what I think too. If you have time, on behalf of OneNanometer, I would like to invite you all to visit China, including our pharmaceutical factory and planting base."

Zhao Chang'an raised his glass to Ye Jingming, Ye Qianru, Ye Ziyu, and Ye Yiyi.

“We do want to go back. During the two years we spent in Europe, sometimes we feel sad when we think about our previous investments in China. These investments were made by me and Yiyi alone. We went through a lot during that time, and just when we were about to increase our investment, we had to come back.”

Ye Ziyu's face was full of regret.

Ye Jingming and Ye Qianru exchanged a quick glance and then lowered their heads to pick up some food.

It's hard to say who's right and who's wrong in the matter between Ye Jingtian and Ye Bai, but if we're just talking about the facts, Ye Bai is generally in the wrong.
