Chen Kun was stunned!
Jiang Yi had previously said he wasn't interested in managing companies, a statement Chen Kun hadn't believed at the time. Now, Chen Kun believed him.
"I'll hold a press conference immediately and invite the big shots of the business world to attend the opening ceremony of Tiansheng Group," Chen Kun said with some pride. "As long as I personally extend the invitation, all the industry leaders in Jiangcheng will surely attend, even the leaders of the Jiangcheng Chamber of Commerce will actively participate. This opening ceremony will undoubtedly be the grandest in the history of Jiangcheng's business community."
Chen Kun was very confident about this matter. The Chen family was the overlord of Jiangcheng's business world, and countless people wanted to curry favor with them. Even if the Chen family didn't extend an invitation, many people would eagerly rush to attend Tiansheng Group's opening ceremony. At that time, even the Liu and Ye families would probably actively participate. No one would miss this opportunity to please the Chen family.
"Master Jiang, do you have any further instructions?" Chen Kun asked respectfully.
"I have nothing to instruct. You just need to handle this matter well," Jiang Yi said with a slight smile.
"Yes!" Chen Kun quickly replied. "Rest assured, I will definitely not disappoint you. I will handle all matters concerning Tiansheng Group perfectly."
Afterward, Chen Kun bid farewell to Jiang Yi and left.
"Your subordinate is quite good!" Dongfang Mei took a sip of red wine, her beautiful eyes falling on Jiang Yi. "I'm very curious about the relationship between the Chen family and you. The Chen family acquired Tiansheng Group and over a dozen other companies, then gifted them all to you. This is not a small sum of money for the Chen family."
Jiang Yi explained the matter with the Chen family. Dongfang Mei was stunned after listening. She hadn't expected Jiang Yi to possess such superb medical skills. Previously, Dongfang Mei thought Jiang Yi's abilities were limited to cooking and fighting. She never imagined that Jiang Yi's greatest skill was his medical expertise.
"Your presence in a place like Jiangcheng is truly a waste of your talent," Dongfang Mei said with a solemn expression. "Why don't you return to the capital with me? The capital has a large enough stage for you to display your talents. Remaining in this place, you will remain unknown your entire life."
"Staying in Jiangcheng is quite good!" Jiang Yi shrugged and smiled slightly.
"Don't refuse in haste. Think about it carefully and tell me when you've made up your mind. With the strength of our Dongfang family, we can provide you with countless opportunities and chances," Dongfang Mei looked at Jiang Yi.
"I'm not interested," Jiang Yi refused again. Jiang Yi knew Dongfang Mei meant well, but he simply wasn't interested. If he wanted to develop, he could become a top figure in any industry without anyone's help.
Seeing Jiang Yi refuse multiple times, Dongfang Mei had no choice but to give up. Jiang Yi began to ponder the matters of Tiansheng Group. Tiansheng Group was formed by the merger of several companies. Coupled with the involvement of the Chen family, it had become the most powerful group in Jiangcheng's business community. However, in reality, Tiansheng Group was outwardly strong but inwardly weak. To make Tiansheng Group a true leader in Jiangcheng's business community, it needed products that would shock the business world. Products are the foundation of an enterprise. The Laoganma Group became a top enterprise in China's food industry with just a bottle of chili sauce. There were many such examples. If he intended to start a business, he had to make it big and strong. Jiangcheng was a small city, but that was irrelevant. Jiang Yi planned to make Tiansheng Group a top enterprise in all of China, and even the world, aiming to enter the Fortune Global 500. Jiang Yi grinned. He decided to act immediately! Jiang Yi got up and walked out of the hall. Dongfang Mei looked puzzled, unsure of what Jiang Yi intended to do. Dongfang Mei was very curious. She put down her glass of red wine, picked up her handbag, and followed him.
"What are you doing, being so mysterious?" Dongfang Mei asked as she caught up to Jiang Yi.
"It's a secret!" Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow. Hearing this, Dongfang Mei became even more interested and directly sat in the passenger seat. Jiang Yi didn't mind. He drove away from the villa and went to the downtown medicinal materials wholesale market to buy some herbs. Afterward, Jiang Yi went to many other places and bought a large pile of items. Jiang Yi intended to use these items to develop products that would enable Tiansheng Group to become a truly major enterprise. Upon returning to the villa, Jiang Yi had the servants clear out the storeroom in the backyard, and then began to tinker in the storeroom. Dongfang Mei watched, utterly bewildered. Although she was very intelligent, she couldn't figure out what Jiang Yi was doing. Finally, Dongfang Mei couldn't help but ask Jiang Yi, "What exactly are you tinkering with?"
"Perfume!" Jiang Yi said.
Dongfang Mei was first stunned, then burst into laughter. "Did I hear that right? You're going to research perfume?" Dongfang Mei couldn't hold back her laughter again. "There are countless types of perfume in the world now. Products like this rely on brands, such as Chanel, Lancôme, Estée Lauder, and so on..." Dongfang Mei continued, "There aren't many famous Chinese perfumes. Most expensive perfumes are imported from abroad, and it's difficult for them to develop in China. It's almost impossible to achieve anything." Dongfang Mei wasn't optimistic about the perfume industry. Several of the Dongfang family's perfume companies, established for decades, had always been suppressed by foreign luxury perfume brands.
"Leaving aside whether there's development potential, let's talk about the manufacturing of perfume. How can you, through manual production, possibly compare to the high-end technology in perfume manufacturing? In terms of both output and quality, you cannot compare to high-end technology, let alone surpass it," Dongfang Mei said with a smile. "I advise you not to bother. It's a waste of time and effort."
Jiang Yi stopped and raised an eyebrow. "How do we know it's impossible if we don't try?" "Foreigners are capable, but they only have one head. Are the people of our China inferior to foreigners?" "Our China has a history of five thousand years. We cannot be defeated by foreigners just because of a bottle of perfume." Jiang Yi had planned to try for a long time.
"Since you like to tinker, then tinker. When your interest wanes, you will give up on your own," Dongfang Mei smiled, then turned and left. Facing Dongfang Mei's doubts, Jiang Yi didn't pay them any mind. He had great confidence in the production of perfume. While the high-end technology in various industries today is indeed very powerful and almost omnipotent, there are some things that high-end technology cannot create. For example, the perfume Jiang Yi planned to make. Jiang Yi's unique production method is something that high-end technology cannot replicate. Jiang Yi understood the reasoning behind Dongfang Mei's words. Jiang Yi wouldn't be making it if he didn't have considerable confidence. If he had no confidence at all, Jiang Yi naturally wouldn't spend so much time on meaningless things. Dongfang Mei did not understand Jiang Yi. If she understood Jiang Yi, she wouldn't have raised so many questions.
