Father Ye and Mother Ye were extremely excited.
In just a few days, they had suddenly earned over 100,000 yuan; this was something they hadn't even dared to imagine.
"My son's foresight is truly shocking to me," Ye Zheng thought.
Father Ye could never have imagined that garlic could actually be so profitable.
They had only invested 100,000; if they had invested one million, how much would they have earned?
Thinking about this, Father Ye felt his blood boiling with excitement.
He felt his long-dormant business soul beginning to revive.
I, Ye Zheng, shall re-enter the business world.
Just as Ye Chen finished eating, Father Ye pulled him aside: "Son, let's have a chat."
"Sure, Dad, what do you want to talk about?"
Ye Chen looked at his father curiously.
"I want to do business; what do you think would be good to get into?"
Although the garlic in the warehouse hadn't been sold yet, Ye Zheng had already seen that the price of garlic was rising more and more every day.
He was definitely going to make two or three hundred thousand this time.
Therefore, after seeing his son's extraordinary foresight, Father Ye was tempted.
This time, Ye Zheng was determined to wipe away his past humiliation.
He wanted those snobbish relatives and friends to know the meaning of regret.
When Ye Chen's business failed last time, those relatives avoided him like the plague whenever they saw him.
In the past, you ignored me; now, I will make myself someone you can't hope to reach.
Ye Chen knew what his father was thinking.
He was also displeased by the ugly faces of those relatives and hoped his father could succeed and give them a fierce slap in the face.
However, Ye Chen knew those relatives all too well.
When the family was struggling, they all stayed away.
Once the family became wealthy in the future, these relatives would surely shamelessly flock back.
But Ye Chen had already decided that even if such relatives came, he would absolutely not let them through the door.
Ye Chen thought for a moment; the fastest-growing industry in the coming decades would be E-commerce, so he suggested it to his father.
"Dad, if you're going into business, I suggest you go into E-commerce."
"E-commerce?" Father Ye was stunned for a moment.
It was his first time hearing the term E-commerce.
Ye Chen explained: "E-commerce is shopping through the Internet and recommending products to consumers; in simple terms, it's online shopping."
"Online shopping?"
Old Ye was still completely confused.
Ye Chen gave Father Ye a basic education on E-commerce.
Finally, Ye Chen said: "Dad, if you want to do E-commerce, I suggest you start with clothing. Before that, I suggest you take on a few beautiful female livestreamers."
Ye Chen offered his father the first piece of advice.
In his past life, Ye Chen had seen how popular selling clothes through Livestreaming was.
Livestreaming sales had revitalized countless clothing companies that were on the brink of bankruptcy.
Even some small factories eventually built their own brands.
Furthermore, in his past life, many clothing streamers had successfully risen to become big-shot influencers with annual incomes in the tens of millions.
Hearing Ye Chen's words, Father Ye couldn't help but scold: "You brat, are you making fun of your old man? Take on a few female livestreamers? Your mother would hack me with a kitchen knife!"
Ye Chen smiled and said: "Dad, I didn't mean it that way."
"I'm talking about serious business, but you thought of that instead. Dad, your thoughts are too..."
Father Ye's old face turned red.
He realized that he seemingly couldn't keep up with his son's train of thought.
Perhaps he really had thought the wrong way.
But if his son wanted him to take on female livestreamers, what else could they do besides something bad?
Ye Chen said: "Dad, is your son the kind of person to incite his father to do such things? My plan is like this."
He began to explain to his father in detail about clothing streamers and the benefits of hiring female livestreamers to sell clothes.
It was already the 4G era, and the era of the mobile Internet was about to arrive.
Major Livestreaming platforms would spring up like mushrooms after rain.
So, before that happens, one must seize the market in advance.
Besides, in Jiangzhou, there were plenty of fashionably dressed beauties.
Of course, being pretty wasn't enough; the girls also needed to be eloquent and good at persuading people.
After hearing his son's introduction, Old Ye finally had a moment of realization.
So, clothes could actually be sold like this; he had gained new knowledge.
Now, Old Ye was starting to admire his son.
How could this business mind be so incredible?
This idea was simply brilliant.
Beautiful women Selling goods through Livestreaming was something Old Ye had never even dared to think of before.
And listening to his son, it really seemed like a viable plan.
"Son, incredible. This idea of yours is great."
"Of course, look whose son I am."
Ye Chen didn't forget to flatter his father a bit.
Ye Zheng nodded: "Our Ye family genes are just that good; otherwise, how could we produce such an outstanding son like you?"
"Once the garlic is sold, you and Mom should rent a nice office building, then recruit a few beauties and try Livestreaming clothes," Ye Chen suggested.
Hearing Ye Chen's words, Father Ye gave a bitter laugh: "Son, do you know how expensive office buildings are nowadays? Plus recruiting female livestreamers... the little money your mom and I made from selling garlic won't be enough at all."
Ye Zheng was quite excited at first, but thinking about renting an office and cultivating female streamers, that would require an investment of at least a million. Where would he get that much money?
Instantly, Old Ye looked like a wilted cucumber.
Sigh, Ye Chen's idea was indeed good, but unfortunately, there was no startup capital.
"Ye Chen, how about your mom and I rent a small storefront first to test the waters and see if it makes money?"
Ye Chen smiled: "Dad, if we're going to do it, we have to do it in a big way. Clothing Livestreaming is definitely the future trend. We must occupy the market before others react. Otherwise, if we play small, the idea will be copied, and once others get established, there won't be anything left for us."
With the experience of his past life, Ye Chen knew that the concept of clothing streamers would not be wrong.
Testing the waters wasn't necessary at all; countless people had already tested it in his past life.
But Ye Chen also knew his father's difficulties.
After all, the family still didn't have that much money and lacked confidence.
Moreover, his father's previous business failure had indeed left a shadow on his heart.
He was afraid of failing again.
Hearing Ye Chen's words, Father Ye was still somewhat hesitant.
He was still in a difficult position; although his son's plan was good, the family really couldn't produce that much money.
"Maybe I should mortgage our house and borrow some money from the bank."
Although Ye Zheng said this, he had already rejected the suggestion in his heart.
After all, they needed a place to live. If the business lost money again and the house was taken, their family would truly have nothing left.
He couldn't let his wife and son suffer like that.
Ye Chen smiled: "Alright, isn't it just money? How big of a deal can it be? You don't have money, but your son does."
Once Ye Chen closed his garlic Futures positions, he would have assets worth over a hundred million.
With that much money, helping his father get onto the E-commerce path wouldn't be a problem at all.
Ye Zheng said sheepishly: "I know you've earned some money, but for E-commerce, you'd need to invest several million. Even if you put in all your money, it wouldn't be enough."
After all, housing prices were rising; renting a high-end office building alone would cost millions. Plus, you'd have to pay salaries to the streamers and buy the inventory. Without several million, it would be hard to succeed.
Ye Chen smiled: "Dad, you underestimate your son too much. Your son currently has much more than just a few million in his hands."
