Chapter 196 Snatching the Formula
At Cai Yun's home.
Cai Yun and Liu Daqiang sat on the sofa, fuming and with grim faces.
Cai Yun slammed the table and said to Yang Long, "Son-in-law, we absolutely cannot let this matter go today. We were actually looked down upon by Chen Yang, that good-for-nothing!"
"No matter what, we must buy a villa in Garden小区. Even if we have to sell our current house, we will buy one there."
Yang Long heard this and said helplessly, "Mom and Dad, listen to me. The villas in Garden小区 are too expensive. The cheapest villa we discussed this afternoon is two million yuan, and others are above twenty-five million yuan."
"Think about how much our current house is worth! Selling it would only fetch two million yuan. We only have twenty million yuan on hand, and even with this house, it's only twenty-two million yuan. We really can't afford a house in Garden小区!"
Cai Yun stood up with a "whoosh" and glared angrily at Yang Long, "Yang Long, you're the eldest young master of the Yang family. Are you saying you can't even get back a few million yuan?"
"Are we just going to watch Chen Yang and Liu Ran, that pair of scoundrels, lord it over us?"
"If they can afford houses, can't we?"
Yang Long's face turned cold upon hearing this. He stood up with a "bang" and kicked the table. Yang Long said angrily, "I am indeed the eldest young master of the Yang family, but the Yang family's money doesn't grow on trees. This time, I've already asked for twenty million yuan from the family to buy a house."
"This twenty million yuan is the limit. I can't ask for a penny more. I can't help it, and I'm angry too. What's the use of you taking your anger out on me?"
Cai Yun, seeing Yang Long suddenly lose his temper at her, was startled and cowered, not daring to move from the sofa.
When she used to mock and insult Chen Yang, Chen Yang had always been respectful to her, only apologizing and never arguing with her.
She never expected that with a new son-in-law, she couldn't even scold him.
Liu Xin stood aside, frowning, "Brother Long, even if you're angry, don't take it out on my mom. Let's not think about buying a house right now. We need to figure out how Liu Ran, that bitch, earned so much money."
"She bought two villas at once, and one of them is the top unit. I don't believe it. How long has she been running her company? How could she have earned so much?"
"And doesn't running a company require capital? What exactly is she doing?"
Yang Long also nodded and said, "Yes, we should figure this out first."
Then Yang Long and Liu Xin immediately went into the bedroom, one holding a phone and the other a computer, to inquire about Liu Ran's "Yang Yang Yang" brand design company.
After searching for a while, Liu Xin's eyes blazed with jealousy. She stood up abruptly, slammed the table, and exclaimed, "Damn it, Liu Ran, that bitch, really got lucky! I knew how she made so much money. Turns out the cosmetics she endorsed became popular."
"Their so-called 'Imperial Jade Skin Powder' can actually treat Lin Xiaoli's facial scars. Now, Lin Xiaoli has live-streamed the entire treatment process online. Everyone now knows that this cosmetic can treat scars, so customers naturally trust it. I checked, and there are at least five hundred thousand orders. "
"Even if only five hundred thousand people ordered, Liu Ran now has 150 million yuan. After deducting fifty million yuan in costs, she still made a hundred million yuan. This woman is incredibly lucky."
Yang Long, standing by, also had his mouth agape hearing this figure. He initially thought it was just a cosmetic product, and even if it became popular, it wouldn't earn much. But now, hearing Liu Xin's calculation, he became instantly interested.
Yang Long immediately sat at the computer and did some research. Then he excitedly said, "Damn it, it turns out cosmetics are so profitable! The cost of cosmetics is often only tens of yuan. This means that for a product priced at three hundred yuan, the profit is at least over two hundred yuan. They've sold hundreds of thousands of orders recently, the profit is too substantial!"
Liu Xin snorted and said, "It's just luck. No one expected this cosmetic to be able to treat scars. It's too damn magical. Even hospitals can't cure Lin Xiaoli's facial scars, but a cosmetic can. In this situation, who wouldn't trust them? Even I'm tempted to buy one."
Yang Long suddenly smelled a business opportunity. He stroked his chin and thought for a few seconds, then turned to Liu Xin and said excitedly in a low voice, "Xin Xin, what if we get our hands on the formula for this cosmetic, and then we produce it? With our Yang family's strength and your Tianliu Department Store, wouldn't we instantly make several hundred million yuan?"
Liu Xin was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Brother Long, this cosmetic clearly uses a secret formula. Ordinary people can't possibly know it."
"If everyone knew the formula, firstly, this cosmetic wouldn't sell for so much, and secondly, sales wouldn't be so good. With full competition, it wouldn't sell well. "
"If we could get the formula, we would definitely make more than her!"
Yang Long chuckled smugly. He picked up his phone and said to Liu Xin in a low voice, "Xin Xin, this is our opportunity!"
"Today we couldn't buy a villa, it's heaven's way of looking out for us, and it's meant for us to get rich!"
Liu Xin heard this and said, "Get rich? What kind of wealth can twenty million yuan bring?"
Yang Long shook his head and said, "With twenty million yuan, we can hire the Twin Blades. I know these two are currently stealing a treasure in our Huaxia. They are in our country now, and they should accept the price of twenty million yuan. As long as we get them to steal the cosmetic formula, won't we get rich?"
Liu Xin was stunned for a moment, "What are the Twin Blades? I've never heard of them?"
Yang Long snorted proudly, "Of course you haven't. The Twin Blades are famous foreign theft masters and also assassins. Families like yours wouldn't have contact with them. Our Yang family has had dealings with them before."
"At that time, we were competing with a foreign shipyard for an order, and we weren't confident. Later, my grandfather spent a hundred million US dollars to hire them. As a result, they stole all the other party's commercial secrets. Our Yang family won big that time."
"Although hiring them was very expensive, it was truly worth it. It was also at that time that our Yang family established a connection with the Twin Blades."
"This time they are in our country. If we use twenty million yuan to hire them to steal a formula, they should agree. Once we have the formula, why would we worry about not getting rich?"
Liu Xin was so excited upon hearing this that she hugged Yang Long. The couple burst into laughter.
