City's Best Divine Doctor-Chapter 1797 - 1757: Jiangbei Group

Upon arriving at Mang City Airport, Ye Qiu purchased a ticket for the nearest flight, and half an hour later, he was at Kunming International Airport.

If he had the time, Ye Qiu would have liked to look around Kunming, but now he could only wait for the next opportunity.

When he bought the ticket back to Jinling, Ye Qiu waited at the airport for about half an hour.

Once on the plane, in first class, he sat for two and a half hours. The plane landed back at Jinling International Airport, and after exiting the airport, it was nearly lunchtime.

Ye Qiu called Cai Yong directly.

Cai Yong was quite surprised to hear that Brother Qiu had returned, but Ye Qiu didn’t go to see Cai Yong.

When Cai Yong arrived at a Jiangnan cuisine restaurant, he asked, "Brother Qiu, have Dafei and the others gone to Ruili?"

"They went yesterday morning. They might be staying there for quite some time."

"Brother Qiu, what are they doing over there?"

Cai Yong thought Ye Qiu had sent them there to handle some street business.

"I have them overseeing the import of rough jadeite stones over there. Two companies have been established with a capital of 500 million each, and corresponding companies will be set up here. Soon, this place will basically monopolize the jade-betting market in the Yangtze River Delta."

As Cai Yong was still processing this, Ye Qiu said, "We’re establishing the Jiangbei Group here. I’ll personally invest 500 million, and you, the Jiangbei Gang, will also invest 500 million. However, management will be your responsibility along with some professional managers."

The Jiangbei Group?

So, Brother Qiu intends to entirely legalize the operations?

"Brother Qiu, do you want Jiangbei Gang to go legitimate?"

"Not exactly, it’s just an additional path for you. Fighting and killing will get you nowhere. Currently, you have a liquidity of 500 million, right?"

Ye Qiu wasn’t really sure about the exact amount of money within Jiangbei Gang and had no intention of using their money.

"It should be even more than that."

"Alright, you handle the preliminary matters. You’ll act as the legal representative and chairman. If you find your management skills lacking, you can recruit the appropriate management talents. You need to start now, look for a suitable place in Jinling to build the largest Jade City, primarily focusing on jade-betting. This Jade City’s income will be massive daily and continuously growing."

"Brother Qiu, I understand. I’ll go back and sort things out immediately."

"Once you’ve settled those matters, I’ll register another 500 million as working capital."

Cai Yong could never have imagined that he, once just a small boss in Jiangbei, has come so far in just two years with Ye Qiu’s guidance.

With the name Jiangbei Group, the future seems even brighter.

Of course, he had no idea how many companies Ye Qiu owns, being able to casually take out several billion in cash indicates something extraordinary.

However, Cai Yong knew that just monopolizing the jade-betting market in Jinling or even Jiangnan Province was already impressive. Now that Brother Qiu intends to monopolize the jade-betting market of the entire Yangtze River Delta, it’s even more extraordinary.

The waitress served the food, and after Ye Qiu and Cai Yong finished eating, Ye Qiu left the Jiangnan restaurant.

When Ye Qiu got into his car, Cai Yong began assigning his subordinates to take charge of the project.

Ye Qiu drove back to the Jin University Campus.

Back at Jin University, being a Wednesday, there were two classes in the afternoon. When Ye Qiu returned to the classroom for class, his classmates were surprised that their class monitor disappeared for over a week and now came back in less than half a month.

After finishing two classes, Ye Qiu left the classroom, not seeing Ning Yun and Luo Yang. He wondered if they were at the café.

"Brother Qiu, I’m at the warehouse."

Before Ye Qiu went to Southern Yunnan, he had already asked the two of them to prepare the warehouse for receiving the batch of a hundred tons of coffee beans.

By now, the coffee beans should have arrived at Jinling’s port.

Ye Qiu drove to the warehouse according to Luo Yang’s directions, finding it in the suburbs, where warehouse rent was cheaper.

Ye Qiu parked the car outside, and upon getting out, Luo Yang said, "Brother Qiu, the hundred tons of coffee beans arrived at Jinling Port three days ago. After paying taxes and going through inspections at the port, they’re gradually being delivered to the warehouse now."

This warehouse was temporarily rented by them, and according to the rent terms, there was no need to worry about exposure to sun or rain.

However, Ye Qiu found this warehouse rather basic. To properly store these coffee beans, stricter conditions were necessary.

Without those conditions for now, they could only be stored here temporarily.

Ye Qiu realized that each step was interconnected, and completing one step was tied to the next. He envisioned this massive commercial empire.

Now, he had Liu Dafei and his brother establish a freight company in Ruili. Although primarily transporting rough jadeite stone, when the batch of trucks arrives here, they cannot return to Ruili empty, so they can make money by taking goods back there.

This also requires a warehouse, for storage racks and such, and for the rough jadeite stone here, it would also need warehousing. It’s not possible to transport all rough jadeite stone to Jade City for transactions, as that place is only for shop transactions.

Thus, warehousing is needed here as well.

From this point alone, Ye Qiu realized the need for these warehouses.

Therefore, now that he has tens of billions, he can allocate funds for warehouse preparation. Of course, it’s impossible to invest all at once, just a part initially.

"Brother Qiu, take a look at these coffee beans."

These coffee beans were packed in bags and transported from Jamaica via the Panama Canal, taking about a month to arrive here.

Ye Qiu smelled the coffee beans and found their aroma fresh and pleasant.

"How’s the café’s renovation going?"

"It’s completed, and all the waitresses have been hired. We’re just waiting for you to open up."

This refers to their two high-end coffee shops under Jamaican Clear Spring Coffee, both opening simultaneously in Jinling.

"Start preparing in the next couple of days. I just got back and have asked Cai Yong to establish Jiangbei Group."

Jiangbei Group?

This was something that Luo Yang and Ning Yun couldn’t even imagine.

However, they focused mainly on the café business at the moment.

After leaving the warehouse and getting into the car, Ye Qiu went to see the first café.

Arriving there with Luo Yang, Ye Qiu noticed that the décor and everything were entirely based on his designs, including the signage.

The tables and chairs inside were all ready, and the waitresses were being trained inside.

Seeing Luo Yang arrive, these waitresses assumed he and Ning Yun were the big bosses, but in reality, it was Ye Qiu who was the true owner.

Now that Luo Yang brought Ye Qiu along, they remained unaware of Ye Qiu’s true identity.
