Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Ten billion!Just as he returned to the first floor, Ye Huan was called to the CEO’s office by a phone call from Tang Yao.

    In the office, Wang Tianbao was sitting on the sofa.

    The soles of his leather shoes were detaching, making them quite "eye-catching".

    It’s not hard to imagine that Zhao Yongle’s face must have been slapped swollen like a pig’s head by him.

    "This must be Mr. Ye Huan, Mrs. Liu’s husband, right? Indeed, I’ve long heard of you; this demeanor, this aura, truly seeing is believing. I also attended the Liu patriarch’s birthday banquet last time, but unfortunately, I was too far away to get a closer look at you, Mr. Ye!" Wang Tianbao praised with a smile, extending his hand.

    "Of course."

    Ye Huan walked straight to the side, not shaking hands with this notoriously infamous person.

    He’d rather not dirty his hands!

    On the surface, Wang Tianbao smiled apologetically, but a flicker of anger flashed in his eyes. Though his Tianbao Pharmaceuticals wasn’t as influential as the Liu Family, it was about the same size as Tianyun International. Why act so arrogant!

    "Cut the nonsense. Why did you call me here?" Ye Huan gave no pleasantries to Liu Tianyun, as the unprovoked insults he suffered were still fresh in his memory.

    Liu Tianyun was a bit annoyed, cursing Ye Huan’s pettiness under her breath.

    She had voluntarily promoted his "lover" from deputy leader to leader. Instead of feeling grateful, he was giving her attitude?

    She took a deep breath, suppressing her inner displeasure, then spoke:

    "Meiying, thanks to its high cost-performance ratio and excellent effectiveness, has already captured most of the domestic skincare cream market. However, due to channel issues, this market share has now reached a bottleneck."

    "Therefore, the company has decided to expand its sales channels in Huaxia, while simultaneously launching the product in Europe, to continue eroding the domestic skincare market share."

    "To this end, we especially invited Mr. Wang Tianbao, the chairman of Tianbao Pharmaceuticals. His sales channels for dermocosmetics are perfectly suited for our products. But he needs to understand some product information, which is why we called you here."

    After pondering for a moment, Ye Huan asked, "Once Tianyun International’s production capacity meets the demands of the European market, isn’t that basically the peak? Is it necessary to expand the domestic market further?"

    Liu Tianyun, with a calm expression, said, "The company’s current financial status is very healthy. We will allocate some funds to expand capacity and thus increase supply to the channels."

    Ye Huan frowned slightly, "Is there a need to rush this?"

    At this moment, Wang Tianbao spoke, revealing his large yellow teeth, and smiled, "Mr. Ye, that’s not right. Meiying is selling like hotcakes now; expanding capacity will only make us even more money!"

    "There’s no need for that. Our product is great; we can slowly eat into the market without rushing," Ye Huan said nonchalantly as he sat at the other end of the sofa.

    Once again, Wang Tianbao’s expression changed, but he quickly returned to normal.

    Just moments ago, hearing Ye Huan say there’s no need to rush made his expression somewhat unnatural.

    These two odd reactions of his naturally didn’t go unnoticed by Brother Huan.

    After all, strange happenings are often suspicious.

    Wang Tianbao certainly wasn’t just here to talk about cooperation!

    A slight curve appeared on Ye Huan’s lips, "Honey, there’s no need for this cooperation, right? We should take it step by step and not rush!"

    "Hmph!"

    In a rage, Wang Tianbao stood up, "President Liu, I’m here to discuss cooperation, not to listen to whether you should expand capacity or not. Since you lack sincerity, let’s just drop the cooperation!"

    With that, he waved his large sleeve and made to leave the office.

    "Chairman Wang, please stay!"

    Liu Tianyun hurriedly called out to Wang Tianbao.

    Then, she looked at Ye Huan with displeasure, saying, "Are you the CEO or am I? The matter of expanding capacity has already been passed in the company’s upper management meeting, so there’s no need for your opinion."

    Ye Huan looked helpless, "Are you serious?"

    Liu Tianyun didn’t respond verbally but her meaning was crystal clear.

    Meiying couldn’t be considered just a popular product anymore; it had swept across every corner of Huaxia.

    As a businesswoman, and a successful one at that, Liu Tianyun had a strong sense of crisis. She knew very well that Meiying currently faced a severe shortage, often selling out within half an hour of going on sale each day, even leading to the emergence of many scalpers profiting from resales.

    If Meiying remained content and didn’t progress, allowing scalpers to thrive, the product’s reputation among users would quickly crumble.

    And to break this situation, the only way was to expand capacity!

    "Ye Huan, introduce Meiying to Chairman Wang."

    Seeing Liu Tianyun’s resoluteness, Ye Huan spread his hands helplessly and said, "Chairman Wang, right? What would you like to know?"

    Wang Tianbao beamed with joy, saying, "I want to know about the product specifications and parameters of your company’s Meiying skincare cream, to facilitate our future cooperation. I was too anxious just now; I apologize, I apologize, haha."

    "Specifications and parameters? A jar of 250G, boxed, priced at 139."

    Wang Tianbao was taken aback for a moment.

    Then, he waved his hand and said with an awkward smile, "Mr. Ye, you misunderstood. I wasn’t asking about that."

    "I was hoping to see the formula of the skincare cream..."

    Before he finished speaking, Ye Huan laughed coldly.

    "Wang Tianbao, you may look ugly, but your thoughts sure are fanciful."

    "You..."

    Wang Tianbao was furious; he hated being called ugly the most. But having not achieved his goal, he chose not to lash out immediately.

    Suppressing his anger, he looked at Liu Tianyun, "President Liu, what do you think?"

    "Chairman Wang, would you hand over your company’s top-secret formula to someone else? If you would, then I won’t say anything. But sorry, I’m not as generous as that!"

    Liu Tianyun said coldly, clearly rejecting him.

    The formula for the new Meiying skincare cream was classified as the company’s highest-level secret, accessible only by her.

    A formula is the soul of a product, the life of a product.

    Not to mention the invaluable Meiying formula. Giving it to someone with only cooperative intentions? That’s sheer folly!

    Perhaps realizing his eagerness had gone too far.

    Wang Tianbao swallowed and slowly said, "President Liu, actually, my purpose isn’t to see the formula but to confirm the safety of the Meiying product. We at Tianbao hold our reputation in high regard. If there’s a quality issue with the product, it will significantly affect us. If you could show me the factory where Meiying is produced, it might be acceptable..."

    "No way. If you want the formula, just say so. Why beat around the bush?"

    "Mr. Ye, could you stop interrupting!" Wang Tianbao pointed at Ye Huan, eyes wide with anger.

    "Did I say something wrong? Isn’t it the formula you want? Here’s an easy solution: I’ll name a price, and if you agree, I’ll sell you the formula."

    "Sell it to me?" Wang Tianbao’s face lit up, "Mr. Ye, how much are you offering it for?"

    Ye Huan raised one finger.

    "Ten million?" Wang Tianbao asked tentatively.

    "Do you think I’m running a charity?"

    "One billion?"

    Ye Huan shook his finger.

    "Then..." Wang Tianbao gritted his teeth, "Ten billion?"

    "One hundred billion!"
