Chapter 2044: Chapter 2004: Sales Exceed 10 Billion

When Lin Xiang got in the car, she didn’t expect that Ye Qiu actually owned a driving school.

"You, you even own a driving school?" Lin Xiang asked in disbelief.

"Ye Xue was going to take her driving test before, so Ye Qiu bought it for her to learn to drive."

Bought it for her to learn to drive?

Even Li Qianqian couldn’t believe it.

However, now that driving school is indeed under Ye Xue’s name. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Now, one could say driving schools are quite profitable, with each student generating about a thousand bucks, and new students are enrolling every day, while those who get their licenses move on.

You could say there’s a new batch of students every two or three months.

"Ye Qiu, why did you even buy a driving school?"

Lin Xiang was still incredulous.

"Didn’t Xiaomai say you should ask Ye Xue tonight? She should know how to take the first test."

As Ye Qiu drove back to the Peach Blossom Spring Villa, Lin Xiang and Li Qianqian couldn’t help but view Ye Qiu differently, aside from Xiaomai.

When they arrived at Peach Blossom Spring Villa, it was already past three in the afternoon.

Li Qianqian was preparing to return to school, while Lin Xiang decided not to go back since she’d have to take a taxi later.

When Ye Qiu went upstairs, Lin Xiang and Xiaomai stayed downstairs.

"Xiaomai, why don’t you learn to drive, too?" Lin Xiang asked Xiaomai.

"What’s the use of me, a little nanny, learning to drive? There are three cars in the Ye Family now, and I can ride in any of them."

Xiaomai said contentedly.

Anyway, she felt things were already very good and didn’t need to ask for more.

Ye Qiu was playing games in his room, Lin Xiang watched for a while, then returned to her own room.

Until dinner time, Xiaomai went to buy groceries and prepared dinner, which was just for the three of them.

Around ten at night, Ye Weidong, his wife, and Ye Xue came back, and Lin Xiang was downstairs waiting for Ye Xue.

"Ye Xue, I have something to ask you," Lin Xiang said.

"Lin Xiang, what’s the matter?"

"I want to get a driver’s license here. I’ve already taken the test in Malaysia, but now I have to retake the first test here."

"I see. The first test here has a total score of 100 points, but you need 90 to pass. I’ll download an exam app for you so you can practice on it, and you can ask me if you don’t understand anything."

While Lin Xiang went to find Ye Xue, Ye Weidong and his wife were drinking tea, discussing the things they heard at the restaurant today. They also noticed many new customers from outside the area.

"I heard that Jiangbei’s Jade City has opened, attracting many visitors from afar. Maybe we should check it out someday; you never know, we might get rich overnight."

While they were talking, Chen Fang didn’t really understand much about it.

But Xiaomai overheard.

"Uncle Ye, are you talking about gambling on stones?"

"Xiaomai, you know about it?"

"Not really knowing, but Ye Qiu took us to see it in the morning, there were tons of people there. Gambling on stones can really make you a millionaire overnight, or leave you broke just as fast."

"Really? Looks like we need to check it out tomorrow."

"And, and that Jade City is related to Ye Qiu."

Related to Ye Qiu?

Ye Weidong and his wife were stunned.

They really didn’t know.

At this moment, Ye Xue and Lin Xiang came down.

Today, Jiangbei’s Jade City was indeed very bustling, even Ye Xue heard that many people there managed to win a house by gambling on stones.

"That Jade City is Ye Qiu’s business."

Ye Qiu’s business?

Ye Weidong lost his grip on the teacup, and it fell.

How could it possibly be Ye Qiu’s business?

"Weidong, why can’t you even hold onto a teacup?" Chen Fang said displeased.

These teacups were part of a set; if one breaks, the rest don’t look good.

Ye Qiu had only heard that the Jade City belonged to the Jiangbei Group, supposedly a large corporate group. He never thought it would actually belong to Ye Qiu.

"Are you sure it’s Ye Qiu’s business?"

"Yes, Ye Qiu didn’t tell you?" Xiaomai asked.

"This kid, how many things is he hiding from me?"

Ye Qiu was incredibly shocked.

He thought the Jiangbei Group was some big corporation, backed by some wealthy investor, but he didn’t realize it was actually Ye Qiu’s business.

"Quick, go call Ye Qiu down."

Ye Weidong looked at Chen Fang and asked.

Chen Fang looked displeased at Ye Weidong and went upstairs.

This Jade City is definitely a gold mine, but Ye Weidong never thought it was his son’s business.

At this moment, Ye Qiu was surfing the web in his room.

Seeing Chen Fang knocking and coming in, Ye Qiu asked, "Mom, what’s up?"

"Your dad wants you to come down; he has something to ask you."

"What’s the matter?"

"I don’t know either."

After they went downstairs, Ye Weidong stared at Ye Qiu, noticing he hadn’t changed much despite the Jade City being his.

You could say a hundred Imperial Cuisine Restaurants might not compare to that Jade City.

"Dad, what’s up?"

"I heard the Jade City is bustling; is it yours?"

"It’s my investment, but I only have fifty percent shares; the rest belong to the Jiangbei Group."

"Whose is the Jiangbei Group?"

"The Jiangbei Group is also my investment, but I only have fifty percent shares there as well."

"Then what about the remaining fifty percent of shares?"

Ye Weidong was stunned.

"The rest are many people’s business; you don’t need to worry about it."

If that’s the case, adding it up, doesn’t Ye Qiu own seventy-five percent of the shares in Jade City?

My God!

How is that possible?

At this moment, Ye Qiu’s phone rang; it was a call from Cai Yong, who excitedly said from the other end: "Brother Qiu, I’ve got good news for you. Today’s revenue at Jade City exceeded ten billion."

Exceeded ten billion?

"Oh." Ye Qiu responded plainly, seemingly unimpressed.

Initially, those two coffee shops also had a turnover above a million on their first day, and Ning Yun and Luo Yang were thrilled, but Ye Qiu felt it was nothing special.

It’s the same now; these outcomes were expected.

"Alright then."

Cai Yong wanted Ye Qiu to come for a drink and celebrate, but Ye Qiu remained indifferent.

This left Cai Yong unsure of how to respond.

After hanging up, Ye Weidong asked, "Is it about Jade City?"

"Its revenue exceeded ten billion today."

Ten billion in a day?

How is that possible?

Ye Weidong was still in disbelief.

Yet, he didn’t know that jade artifacts are inherently luxury items, with ordinary ones costing tens of thousands, and expensive ones can be hundreds of thousands or even millions, so surpassing ten billion isn’t that impressive.

Moreover, it’s not just Jinling consumers now; obviously, consumers from the Yangtze River Delta, including wealthy ones, have come over. So, all in all, this ten billion really isn’t much.

Also, this is only revenue; the actual profit might only be one or two billion.
