Celestial Master： I Have an Otherworld-Chapter 268 - 91: Business! Arrogance! (3)

He immediately took steps to follow.

The door of the business car parked in the space opened, and Fang Zheng stood beside it, smiling in welcome:

"Shuman, welcome back."

"Brother-in-law!"

Seeing Fang Zheng, Qin Shuman's eyes curved into crescent moons, her tone carrying a sense of closeness, and her worries about being greeted by strangers quietly disappeared.

"Mm."

Fang Zheng nodded, looked at another woman in the field, and extended his hand:

"You must be Shen Xiuting whom Shuman often mentions. I'm Fang Zheng, a local of Qu City."

"Yes."

Shen Xiuting nodded, lightly shook his hand, her eyes filled with curiosity:

"Sister Shuman often mentions you too."

She had heard about Qin Shuman's brother-in-law quite a few times, and upon meeting him for the first time, he was nothing like she imagined.

In her imagination,

Fang Zheng should be a graceful, gentle scholar, sentimental and simple, or else he wouldn't have been favored by Qin Shuman's sister.

In reality,

The man in front of her was nearly two meters tall, robust, and full of masculine energy, like a professional basketball player.

His appearance wasn't striking, but very pleasing to the eye, especially those eyes, as transparent and pure as black pearls.

His skin was remarkably good,

under the sunlight, the surface seemed to have a layer of hazy glow.

At first glance, he seemed ordinary, but after a few more glances, one couldn't help but become captivated, and Shen Xiuting felt her heart flutter, her cheeks turning red.

This kind of man...

Perfectly matches her requirements.

As she scrutinized Fang Zheng, he was also assessing her.

Shen Xiuting was Qin Shuman's boyfriend's cousin, both women of the same age and attending the same university, naturally becoming good friends.

Her features were delicate, her gaze lively, her looks and figure were outstanding, just that her skin was a bit too fair.

Her aura...

Was also too weak.

Probably due to poor health or a deficiency in innate Primordial Qi.

"Let's get in the car."

Once in the car, Shen Xiuting habitually touched the armrest of the seat, her eyes scanning everything around curiously, and asked:

"I remember this car costs over three million, brother-in-law, what business are you in?"

"Over three million!"

Before Fang Zheng could answer, Qin Shuman's eyes widened:

"Really?"

"Of course it's true." Shen Xiuting rolled her eyes:

"Sister Shuman, don't exaggerate your expressions so much."

"Probably." Fang Zheng nodded:

"The company paid for it, saying it can deduct taxes. I don't really understand these things, but it does allow for a restful ride."

"As for what I do..."

"I used to be in the porcelain business, now I've started a textile factory."

"A textile factory?" Shen Xiuting's eyes brightened:

"My family is also in this business, but in the past two years, business has been tough, labor costs too high, my dad is preparing to move the factory to Malaysia."

"Indeed." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Fang Zheng nodded:

"Labor is not cheap now."

"In Qu City, it's still manageable; the textile industry isn't too developed, and some people are unwilling to travel far, so they're willing to work in the factory for a few thousand."

Shen Xiuting nodded in agreement.

She had been involved in the textile industry since childhood, with knowledge in textiles, dyeing, garment manufacturing, accessories, and auxiliaries.

Knit machines, warp knitting machines, weft knitting circular machines just rolled off her tongue.

Processing, subcontracting...

All the avenues were clear to her.

After a round of conversation, Fang Zheng was quite impressed.

The impact of family environment on a person is multifaceted, those born in merchant families almost invariably have a knack for business.

It's not because they are smarter.

But because they are well-versed in the industry their parents are in, have clear knowledge of various business pathways, whereas ordinary families simply cannot acquire this experience.

Studying and attending university are undoubtedly great paths.

But the children from ordinary families, after graduating college, still have to work for others, whereas some are groomed to be bosses since childhood, with a different goal from the start.

Working for others?

It's just not possible!

"Xiuting knows so much."

Fang Zheng took out a few bottles of drinks and handed them to the two women:

"Hot drinks, to warm the stomach."

"Thank you."

Shen Xiuting's cheeks flushed.

She didn't know if Fang Zheng did it deliberately, but due to an accident during her mother's pregnancy, Shen Xiuting had a frail constitution.

From childhood to adulthood, she could only drink hot beverages.

"Even star concerts can be outsourced."

Fang Zheng shifted the conversation to a topic the two women were interested in:

"There are professional companies that handle the operation of star concerts, some invest and operate on their own, while others directly outsource to third parties."

"Especially foreign companies, which lack influence domestically and do not understand local channels and often choose to outsource or split the revenue."

"Depending on the influence of the star, the contracting price for concerts varies."

"For example, this time the Southern Dynasty's 'by' group, the contracting price seems to be 300,000 for two days, with any special extra income being split 50/50."

"Brother-in-law," Qin Shuman curiously asked:

"How do you make money from contracting a concert?"

She always thought concerts were organized by the stars themselves or funded by fan donations, she never expected there was outsourcing involved.

The star's management directly takes the 300,000 contract fee, how does the contractor make money?

"Tickets are one aspect."

Fang Zheng began:

"But for most stars, ticket sales alone are not enough to cover the contract fee, like this time for the by group, ticket sales only amounted to over a million."

"There are also various concert site sponsorships, promotions, ads..."

"The person contracting this concert is my friend."

"According to her, she invested 300,000, prepared for nearly a month, and had to deal with various matters, only made around 20,000, not very worthwhile."

Xia Hong said several times she regretted it, shouldn't have impulsively done this kind of business, and if she did, she should have teamed up with a few people to handle it.
