292: A horse cannot grow fat without overnight food, and a man cannot become rich without unexpected wealth.

After seeing the message, Ye Jianguo did not stop Ye Su's risky plan to "strike it rich in one go."

A horse cannot get fat without night feed, and a man cannot get rich without windfalls.

Ye Jianguo understood this truth deeply himself.

For so many years, he had been overly cautious and hesitant in everything he did.

No matter what investment opportunity he encountered, his first thought was always to wait and see, just in case there was a risk.

Waiting and waiting, real estate prices, stocks... every single opportunity passed him by while he waited.

Even his factory had clearly been struggling to stay afloat a few years ago.

But Ye Jianguo still wanted to wait and see, constantly sinking money into it, only to end up with a partner running away with the payment.

So this time, Ye Jianguo did not plan to wait any longer.

Judging from the results of the investments Ye Su and his friend had made recently, their vision was clearly far superior to his own.

Since that was the case, he would just trust him.

[Dad: Alright, I'll look for another garment factory that can still take orders in the near future.]

[Dad: At the same time, I can also have the factory employees work night shifts to rush the job, and give each of them a 1,000-yuan bonus at the end of the month.]

[Dad: Although the cost of doing this is a bit higher, overall, it will still be a bit cheaper than outsourcing to an OEM.]

[Dad: And the workers in the factory can also earn a bit more this month.]

Considering that after this batch of swimsuits was finished, the factory might not have this much work to do next month.

Ye Jianguo did not choose to purchase more sewing machines and hire more workers to expand the factory's scale. Instead, he chose to have the current workers work overtime this month.

It would be exhausting, but with this month's overtime pay and bonuses adding up to nearly 2,000 yuan, he believed the workers would be willing to do it.

Having run factories for so long, Ye Jianguo knew that modern workers didn't hate working overtime; they just hated working overtime without pay.

[Sure, let's do as you say.]

[Just remember to sign an agreement with them when looking for an OEM.]

[They must not be allowed to use our design drawings to privately produce and sell the great sage swimsuit, nor can they produce similar swimsuits.]

[If they breach the contract, they must compensate us for any losses caused.]

Ye Su had applied for the design patent and copyright of the great sage swimsuit in advance.

Although he didn't intend to sue other garment factories and online shops, it depended on the situation.

If he went to a garment factory for contract manufacturing,

only for them to put his orders on the back burner because they saw how well the swimsuits were selling,

and then use his design drawings to make and sell the swimsuits themselves, backstabbing him...

Then they couldn't blame Ye Su for playing dirty and using the law to crush them.

[Dad: Okay, I'll make sure to watch out for that.]

[Okay, let's leave it at that for now.]

[I don't know much about factory management. If any issues come up, just make the call yourself.]

[Let me know if there are any new developments.]

After sorting out the garment factory issues, Ye Jianguo stopped replying, and Ye Su went back to listening to the lecture out of sheer boredom.

Similarly, the teacher on the podium was also going through the rest of the lesson with equal boredom.

Both the teacher and the students were just killing time, going through the motions of teaching and studying.

...

At noon, Ye Su naturally took care of the meals for Dorm 305 again.

With Fang Zewei around, the computer Ye Su had left in the dorm was already loaded with all kinds of games.

After eating, Ye Su teamed up with his three dudes for a few matches in the dorm.

After playing until past one in the afternoon, Ye Su finally left the dorm and arrived on time at the warehouse Feng Zhiquan was helping to sell.

Feng Zhiquan and another middle-aged man were already waiting outside the warehouse.

As soon as Ye Su stepped out of the car, the two of them walked up to greet him.

"Boss Ye."

After greeting Ye Su first, Feng Zhiquan introduced him to the middle-aged man beside him.

"This is the Boss Ye I mentioned to you, the one who bought my shop."

"Hello, Boss Ye." The middle-aged man enthusiastically extended his right hand to Ye Su. "My name is Qian Zhiyi."

"Hello, Boss Qian." Ye Su smiled and shook hands with Qian Zhiyi.

"I was just talking about you with Boss Feng, saying how young and promising you are."

As Qian Zhiyi spoke, he gave Ye Su a thumbs-up.

Although in his heart, he had already labeled Ye Su as a rich kid who relied on his family's money to do business,

this did not stop Qian Zhiyi from flattering him.

"You're too kind, Boss Qian." Ye Su was too lazy to argue and went straight to the point. "If it's convenient, let's take a look at the warehouse now."

"Sure, this way please."

Qian Zhiyi assumed that Ye Su was busy and in a hurry, so he gestured for him to enter the warehouse.

Feng Zhiquan followed closely behind, entering the warehouse with them.

Much like when Ye Su bought the Secondhand Shop, Qian Zhiyi began introducing the inventory to him as soon as they stepped inside.

However, Ye Su's mind wasn't on the inventory at all.

While nodding and murmuring in agreement, Ye Su subtly scanned the warehouse, finally locking his gaze onto a dusty old wooden box in a corner.

Judging from the deep blue glow emitting from it, this was clearly the ivory-carved mahjong set mentioned in the intelligence, valued between one and two million yuan.

The warehouse wasn't large—only several dozen square meters—so the three of them quickly finished inspecting the goods, which were worth over a hundred thousand yuan.

"I've seen enough. Everything looks decent. What price are you looking to sell this for, Boss Qian?"

Hearing Ye Su ask for the price right after looking around, a flash of joy crossed Qian Zhiyi's eyes.

He thought to himself that Ye Su was indeed as straightforward in business as Boss Feng had described.

Rich kids were indeed like this; they bought whatever they fancied and didn't care about the money.

"If you sold all these things in a Secondhand Shop, they'd go for at least over a hundred thousand. Since Boss Feng introduced you, I'll give you a friendly price. How about 100,000 yuan?"

After speaking, Qian Zhiyi looked at Ye Su expectantly, hoping this rich kid would wave his hand and buy up the entire warehouse for 100,000 yuan without a second thought.

Beside them, Feng Zhiquan's brow furrowed imperceptibly when he heard Qian Zhiyi's quote.

His own Secondhand Shop had an inventory worth over 400,000 yuan, yet it had only sold for less than 200,000 yuan in the end.

Now, Qian Zhiyi's warehouse was worth only about a third of his shop's inventory, yet the asking price was half of what he had received.

This made Feng Zhiquan, who was still bitter about selling his Secondhand Shop, feel a bit slighted. He didn't want Ye Su to agree to this price.

But on the other hand, when Qian Zhiyi had asked him to help find a buyer, he had promised him a five percent commission on the final sale price.

The more money Ye Su spent on the warehouse, the higher his commission would be.

From that perspective, he also kind of hoped Ye Su would buy the warehouse at a high price.
