51: Chapter 51 Your house is as big as a bank vault!

Yang Fan had just come out of his space.

Ye Qingcheng had already arrived at the villa uninvited.

She reached out her hand as soon as she saw Yang Fan.

"Give me the money. Registering the company, the venue, recruitment, advertising..."

"They all require money."

"Wait here."

Yang Fan went back to his room and took out several pieces of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy.

Seeing Yang Fan bring out several boxes, Ye Qingcheng knew what was inside.

"Whose calligraphy?"

"Wang Xizhi's."

"Five pieces in total. See how much they can sell for. You can go to an auction or whatever. Use your own money for the company setup first. You already have all my information, so I don't need to give it to you again."

Yang Fan placed the items directly on the table.

Ye Qingcheng opened a box to take a look.

Good heavens. Originally, there weren't many surviving works of Wang Xizhi, yet this guy brought out so many at once.

She opened and looked at them all. Although she didn't understand calligraphy, Yang Fan's items no longer needed appraisal.

After all, the things on this guy were all collected from the early Tang Dynasty; they clearly looked Li Ke the collection of a great clan.

"Do you have more?"

"Yeah. Has Li Yang sold out of those gold ingots?"

"I have five thousand pieces ready right here."

Yang Fan rubbed his hands. This money was faster; no need to wait for an auction, just sell them directly to the auction house.

Besides, Emperor Taizong of Tang still owed him a final payment of five thousand pieces.

Ye Qingcheng was speechless. She was asking about the calligraphy...

She didn't expect Yang Fan to have so many gold ingots. If he were to dump them all at once...

"Which prince of the Tang Dynasty was your ancestor?"

Ye Qingcheng couldn't imagine which official could have so many gold ingots, along with so many authentic works by Emperor Taizong of Tang and Wang Xizhi.

Surnamed Yang...

Could he be a descendant of Li Ke?

"Maybe. How about I give you the gold as well? You get him to give me a satisfactory price."

Yang Fan wasn't going himself. Li Yang was dishonest with him, so it was better to let Ye Qingcheng go; Li Yang wouldn't dare cheat her.

"I can do that, but the quantity is too large this time. I expect the price won't be much higher than last time."

Ye Qingcheng also knew Yang Fan's thoughts. This guy knew Li Yang bought them for 4 million last time and sold them for 4.8 million, so he was a bit annoyed.

By letting her sell them this time, Li Yang and his people certainly wouldn't dare offer her such a price.

"Yeah, anyway, if I sell things in the future, I'll let you go. There really aren't many who would dare cheat you."

Yang Fan showed a sly smile. The salary he was paying was really worth it.

"Look at you calculating. You really are a finance major!"

By having her sell this batch of gold, Yang Fan could make a lot more money—probably enough to pay for ten years of her work.

Ye Qingcheng sighed. Not a single capitalist is good.

"How can you say that? You have shares in the company. Work hard."

"I need to go back for a while in a few days. I'll leave the company registration, site selection, and recruitment to you."

"The company will mainly deal in foreign trade of grain, as well as large quantities of purified water. Other things Li Ke tech or entertainment are also fine. You decide on the investments."

Yang Fan's main focus was investing in foreign trade to import large amounts of low-priced grain. Mainly because he needed too much; it wouldn't be good to buy it all domestically.

If he bought seeds to plant now, Emperor Taizong of Tang wouldn't have time, and Li Yunlong didn't have the conditions for planting.

Furthermore, they were currently the biggest consumers of grain; after all, war consumes a lot of food.

"So casual? Don't tell me you haven't even thought about what the company will invest in to make a profit?"

Ye Qingcheng felt Li Ke her mind was about to explode.

"It's fine. If an invested company doesn't make money, just keep investing. Is there really a company that keeps taking money and never makes a profit?"

Yang Fan wasn't worried about money now; after all, he really didn't lack it.

Emperor Taizong of Tang had a lot of gold. If not, they could go mine gold; he'd heard there was quite a bit in Japan.

Lin Dong probably had a lot too. After all, gold was useless to them; their hard currency should be that energy that can enhance abilities which they gave Yang Fan.

Ye Qingcheng gave a thumbs up.

"You really are a spendthrift."

"Since you're so rich, can you set up a charitable foundation to help some left-behind children, or disabled people who can't work, or orphans in welfare homes?"

Seeing Yang Fan waste money Li Ke this, she really felt a bit pained.

"Sure. Do it in the company's name. As long as all the money reaches the people who truly need it, I can sponsor 1 billion every year."

Yang Fan didn't object to sponsoring these people; after all, his family had also experienced being sponsored.

What he detested were those who sponsored 1 billion, but in the end, only a tenth or maybe not even that reached the people who truly needed it.

"That's great! I'll contact my dad and have him promote it for you! You'll soon be selected as one of the Top Ten Youth of Shanghai!"

Ye Qingcheng didn't expect Yang Fan to actually agree. She was just joking, and Yang Fan immediately offered 1 billion...

This couldn't even be described as 'wealthy' anymore.

It was equivalent to donating a piece of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy every year.

"No need. I'm a low-key person. I don't want any Top Ten Youth title. Just make sure the money is spent clearly."

Yang Fan had originally planned to help families who couldn't afford medical treatment; after all, he had seen too many tragedies.

There were people who couldn't afford treatment and abandoned their daughters to run away; the daughters would receive treatment in the hospital during the day and set up stalls to earn money at night.

Yang Fan had also sponsored her with 500 yuan. Although he was in a difficult situation himself, he still couldn't stand such scenes.

Yang Fan had also asked the girl about her wish. The girl's answer was very simple, only two words:

To live.

It was because Yang Fan had seen her miserable state that he was unwilling to undergo dialysis; living was too exhausting, and a normal person's mind would have broken long ago.

"You might not want it, but he can't not give it. No matter what, it counts as his political achievement. Don't worry, I'll fight for it for you."

"Fine. Take Jiang Lan with you and let her learn. She's very talented, just lacks someone to lead her. Now that you're here, help me train her."

He was originally worried that Jiang Lan was doing everything herself now; now it was fine, someone had come who could teach her.

Ye Qingcheng was already grinding her teeth. He really treated her Li Ke a beast of burden; she felt Li Ke she was being used as a tool.

She really wanted to say, 'Why don't you just find a capable secretary?' But then she thought better of it. Loyalty was indeed an issue; the things around Yang Fan were of too high value.

"Give me the gold. I'm leaving to sell it for you. As for Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, let's auction it. There are plenty of people who want to collect such things."

She was afraid that if she stayed, she wouldn't be able to stop herself from getting physical. She used to be pampered; after all, her education, figure, face, and family background were all perfect.

Others treated her Li Ke a treasure, but this guy brought her here to treat her Li Ke a laborer. Her impression of him had improved a bit because his heart wasn't bad.

Now it was worse again. He was such a thorough hands-off boss. He was relaxed, dumping everything on her and even sending someone over to supervise her.

"Oh, let your Bodyguards move them. I've stacked them neatly. Five hundred pieces per box, they're in my walk-in closet."

Yang Fan still liked gold very much. When he had nothing to do, he'd open and look at it; it was very pleasing to the eye!

Ye Qingcheng was thoroughly impressed. These things were worth tens of billions, and he just left them at home. If a thief visited, they'd laugh their teeth off!
