814 Steady
Ye Xuan got out of the car and nodded. Then, he followed Zheng Xin into the branch entrance. A warm breeze suddenly blew over from the corridor and the smell of air conditioner wafted over.
“Then let’s take a look first. Lead the way.”
Ye Xuan spoke calmly. Zheng Xin immediately nodded and replied.
“Alright, Chairman Ye. This way, please.”
After saying that, he made another “please” gesture and led Ye Xuan to the corridor. After taking a few steps, they turned a corner and went up the elevator to the second floor. This was where the employees worked.
There were many parts inside, but they were all very basic. Because Zheng Xin had informed them in advance, everyone was very quiet and serious now. They were all working hard at their desks.
There was nothing much to see. After casually walking around twice, Ye Xuan followed Zheng Xin to the third floor. The third, fourth, and fifth floors were all office spaces. The fifth floor was filled with the offices of many higher-ups and conference rooms. The sixth floor was Zheng Xin’s office.
Therefore, after looking at the employees’ office on the third and fourth floors, Ye Xuan and Zheng Xin went to the fourth floor. The higher-ups were already waiting there. When they saw the elevator open, they welcomed them and spoke respectfully.
“Hello, Chairman Ye. Hello, CEO Zheng.”
Ye Xuan nodded and shook hands with the higher-ups. Then, after casually looking at their office and office environment, he followed Zheng Xin to the highest level, where Zheng Xin’s personal office was, to drink tea.
Zheng Xin’s office was very different from the offices of the higher-ups, supervisors, and so on. Other than elegance, calligraphy and paintings could be seen everywhere on the walls. There were also some porcelain pieces placed around.
The entire office looked very elegant and had the bearing of a general manager. It was quite good.
After entering the office, Ye Xuan went straight to the sofa and sat down. Zheng Xin followed closely behind. After sitting down, Zheng Xin filled the kettle with water and placed it on the tea tray to boil the water. Then, he reported.
“In the past few years, the development of the branch has increased to a higher level. Many of the surrounding office buildings are already ours, and the company’s scale is expanding. Moreover, the newly planned technology park has already been put on the agenda. It’s estimated to be completed in three years. In addition, I plan to build a warehouse on East Street. This time, I want to replace the old warehouse. After all, the location of the old warehouse is good. I want to replace it and rebuild the old warehouse into a public square. However, this plan has yet to be reported to the headquarters. This time, Chairman Ye is here in person, so I’ll ask Chairman Ye about this in advance. What do you think, Chairman Ye?”
As he spoke, the hot water boiled. This kind of water heater didn’t boil much water at once, so it wouldn’t take long for it to boil.
Seeing that Zheng Xin was about to make tea, Ye Xuan took out the tea leaves he had brought from his bag and placed them on the tea tray. He pointed at the tea leaves and spoke to Zheng Xin.
“Let’s brew this. Try it.”
Zheng Xin’s hand that was holding the kettle froze for a moment before he gently put it down. He opened the bag of tea leaves that Ye Xuan had brought and looked at the appearance, color, and fragrance of the tea leaves. He was instantly shocked.
He had drunk special-grade Da Hong Pao tea leaves in the past, so he had a deep impression of them. The tea leaves in front of him clearly looked like Da Hong Pao, but what was strange was that it was obvious that the tea leaves in front of him were purer and stronger than the special-grade Da Hong Pao tea leaves he had drunk before.
“Could it be…”
Zheng Xin muttered in his heart. Then, he took the tea leaves and sniffed them carefully. Immediately, he confirmed this answer in his mind. In an instant, he was extremely shocked and was completely numb.
Obviously, this tea leaf was definitely a level higher than the special-grade Da Hong Pao. It was undoubtedly a level higher than the Imperial Da Hong Pao.
After confirming this, Zheng Xin was simply shocked. He did not expect Chairman Ye to be able to get tea leaves at the level of the Imperial Da Hong Pao. One had to know that such tea leaves could not be bought on the market.
This was the first stalk from the Da Hong Pao mother tree. It was simply the most precious thing in the world. It was a top-grade item that was priceless!
Zheng Xin was numb. He was completely numb.
However, he was a knowledgeable person, so he quickly recovered. He looked at the tea leaves in disbelief and confirmed with Ye Xuan with a trembling voice.
“C—Chairman Ye, are we really going to brew this?”
After all, he definitely couldn’t believe that Chairman Ye would be so generous as to brew such expensive tea leaves. If it were him, he wouldn’t be willing to brew them even if he was beaten to death. It would be a pity if he didn’t collect them.
“Yes, why else would I take it out?”
Ye Xuan spoke nonchalantly. After hearing Chairman Ye’s exact reply, although Zheng Xin was very shocked, he did not dare to disobey. Hence, he held the tea bag excitedly and loftily. He used a bamboo film specially used to hold tea leaves to scoop some tea leaves into a cup and poured some water.
He washed the tea and moistened the cups. His actions were smooth and natural. In a few moments, two cups of fragrant Imperial Da Hong Pao were brewed.
Smelling the fragrance of this tea, Zheng Xin was both happy and pained. He did not expect such a precious Imperial Da Hong Pao, a tea leaf that countless people had fought over and dreamed of, to be brewed in front of his eyes.
Moreover, he could still drink it. Thinking about it, he was really lucky.
Ye Xuan also picked up the teacup and placed it in front of his nose to smell it. He felt the pure fragrance of the Imperial Da Hong Pao and really enjoyed it.
Then, he blew on the hot air and took a sip. The texture of oolong tea was different from floral tea and green tea. It was slightly choppy and had a faint fragrance. It was very flavorful.
After putting down the teacup and feeling the fragrance of the tea lingering in his nose, Ye Xuan looked at Zheng Xin and spoke softly.
“Yes, I’ll leave the matter of the warehouse to you. You should have already investigated the route and transportation, so I won’t ask further. However, there’s one thing. The hidden dangers of the warehouse must be dealt with. There are also the statistics.”
“Yes, don’t worry, Chairman Ye. I’ll handle it well. Also.”
Zheng Xin took a sip of tea and continued.
“Recently, the annual growth of the branch has reached 32%. It’s developing in a good direction. The surrounding office buildings and chip engineering department have been established for a year. Now, we’ve invested about 48% of the total branch annual production rate. It’s estimated that next year, we’ll mass-produce the 14th generation Bionic Chip. At that time, the yield will reach 78.9%. It’s a good direction.”
“Yes, the data looks good. Continue to maintain it. Tell me about the losses. Tell me slowly. Don’t miss the details.”
Ye Xuan held his teacup and nodded. His aura was very stable and was not like a child at all.
