City's Best Divine Doctor-Chapter 1739 - 1699: Jiangnan Silk Association

Ye Qiu drove back to Jinling, and when he arrived at the villa, his mother Chen Fang and Ye Xue took out from the car the clothes Ye Qiu had bought for them in East Sea.

Each person got five or six sets, totaling over a hundred thousand yuan.

Previously, Xiaomai was wearing a skirt given to her by Ye Xue, and now Ye Qiu also bought her five or six new sets. Regardless of age, everyone loves beauty; it’s just a matter of showing it off to whom.

Chen Fang felt the clothes Ye Qiu bought were expensive, but she ultimately accepted them.

As Ye Qiu went upstairs, the women took the clothes to the living room to take a closer look.

Right now, it was eight or nine in the morning in Paris, and Ye Qiu knew Louise was awake.

Calling Louise long-distance, the call quickly connected, and she asked, "Dear Ye Qiu, are you missing me?"

"I miss you a bit. I visited Coffee Mountain in the Caribbean some time ago, passing through Paris Charles de Gaulle International Airport."

"Why didn’t you stop by to see me?" Louise asked.

When a woman’s heart is set on a man she likes, she surely wants to see him all the time, and Louise felt the same.

"Louise, I was just passing through without a visa; how could I leave the plane?"

Louise acknowledged that was the case.

Ye Qiu mentioned what happened with the Louise brand during his visit to East Sea with his mother, asking, "Louise, if we terminate the operating and management rights of your clothing brand early, what would the compensation be?"

"Double the compensation!" Louise replied.

"Then notify that Hong Kong boss; we’re reclaiming the Mainland China and Hong Kong agency rights early. I don’t want him to ruin the brand’s reputation."

Indeed, the Mainland market is vast, with hundreds of prefecture-level cities alone, so it’s quite large.

Of course, the cities that can afford the Louise brand are the first-tier, second-tier, and some developed third-tier cities; even in those areas, profits are good.

Ye Qiu initially hoped to let this Hong Kong boss earn another year’s money, since he couldn’t use up all the potential earnings anyway. Unexpectedly, the other party didn’t care.

"Alright, I’ll immediately have the lawyer notify them," Louise said.

After telling Louise that he might visit France during the summer holiday, Ye Qiu hung up the phone.

Ye Qiu opened his computer, intending to play a bit.

Meanwhile, at the Jiangnan Silk Association headquarters in Jiangzhou, the Yang Family and others were surprised when the Xingyue Group’s raw material price reduction contract turned out to be serious.

"Young Master Yang, I heard that many ships carrying high-grade silk have arrived from the South, all now at the Jinling port and moved to the Xingyue Group’s warehouse. They surely aren’t short of raw materials," a man said.

Someone intentionally informed them.

Jiangnan silk has been famous since ancient times, and even Jiangzhou’s silk is renowned domestically and internationally.

But now, there’s silk from the Southwest, South China, and even North China; Qilu Province also has a lot of silk.

However, it’s mostly regional, either sold locally or exported.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yueru broke regional barriers, bringing silk from the South to Jiangnan. This would swallow their market and profits.

"How could this happen?"

Apart from the Yang Family, there are several families like the Zhou Family, Zhang Family, Wang Family, and Su Family within the association. They dominate the silk market in nearby provinces from low-end to high-end.

Jiangzhou being their center, the Jiangnan Silk Association is in Jiangzhou, not Jinling; unexpectedly, Shen Yueru imported a large batch of silk raw materials from the South, catching them by surprise.

Additionally, business isn’t as easy as before. Naturally, they should maintain good cooperation with major clients like Xingyue Group and Qingcheng Group, but Yang Family and Yang Zhipeng threatened them via the association, which couldn’t possibly be controlled. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

With many sourcing options nowadays, even if Jiangnan Province silk isn’t available, one could still buy from the Southwest and ship directly to Jinling.

This made everyone except Yang Zhipeng start to worry.

Though Xingyue Group may not consume much silk, it uses high-grade raw materials with very high profits. If southern silks take over, they wouldn’t just lose a market.

They’re most worried about out-of-town silk raw materials occupying the local market.

"This can’t continue. We must contact the higher-ups immediately,"

Yang Zhipeng said.

Realizing he underestimated Shen Yueru.

As they hurried to contact Jiangzhou and Jiangnan Province officials, they were soon disappointed: those officials couldn’t help.

Because in the afternoon, Xingyue Group and its subsidiary Qingcheng Group held a press conference about the local Silk Association arbitrarily raising raw material prices, leading them to procure from the South and potentially enhance cooperation.

The news shocked not only local officials but also many consumers. Xingyue Group’s lingerie brand was already costly due to expensive top-quality silk.

Unexpectedly, this all happened because of the Jiangnan Silk Association’s coercion, and Xingyue Group, not agreeing, decided to partner with southern silk companies.

This gained a lot of consumer approval.

It was a win-win, raising Xingyue Group’s profile while capturing consumers’ hearts.

Yang Zhipeng was furious upon seeing these reports.

Cursing Yueru in his heart, he realized they must send a representative to negotiate with Xingyue Group to prevent out-of-town silk from entering their market.

While Ye Qiu was playing on his computer, Shen Yueru called, saying, "Ye Qiu, Jiangnan Silk Association sent representatives to negotiate."

"We can talk, but first, lower the original raw material price by at least ten percent, and second, expel the Yang Family from the Silk Association."
