Chapter 193 -182: Partners

Su Heyuan wrestled with his decision for two days but just couldn’t make up his mind, and he could not bear to give up either since Lu Jiaxin was indeed very talented in design. After some thought, he called Su Hongying back in Peng City to ask for her advice.

Upon hearing the matter, Su Hongying did not even take time to consider and directly said, “This is about going into business together. If there’s profit, work on it together; if not, dissolve the partnership and let Lu Jiaxin take over the company. What’s there to be conflicted about?”

“Aunt, starting a company is not that easy.”

Su Hongying thought for a moment and then replied, “I remember you mentioned before that starting a company in Hong Kong would cost over a million.”

Su Heyuan expressed that if he was going to start, he would certainly aim big, “My initial plan was to invest three million. If Lu Jiaxin also invests money, the amount would surely double. But despite contributing the same amount of money, I would hold forty percent while she holds sixty percent…”

How should he put it? Losing twenty percent of the shares didn’t just mean a smaller dividend. In the long run, if they ever fell out, Lu Jiaxin could kick him out. The thought of being ousted from his hard-built company was indeed distressing.

Su Hongying said, “Lu Jiaxin has a talent for design. As long as she comes up with a few hit designs each season, even holding only forty percent of the shares could earn you more than running your own company.”

Running his own business, he could make three to five hundred thousand a month; if Lu Jiaxin produced a hit, he could make millions a month, and forty percent of the shares would account for over a million. The kid seems shrewd, but they still can’t do the math.”

“It’s not that easy to create a hit design!”

With a smile, Su Hongying suggested, “You can make a deal with her, an agreement that she needs to produce at least one hit design each season. If she meets the requirements within the agreed period, she gets the twenty percent shares. If not, both of you will split the stakes equally.”

“What if she doesn’t agree?”

Su Hongying said, “You’re wrong there. Lu Jiaxin is confident in herself; she will definitely agree. If not, you can split up later and go solo.”

“I’ll think about it.”

Frowning, Su Hongying said, “What’s there to think about? When you were in the Forty-nine City, you were bold and daring. How come you’ve become so hesitant after moving to Hong Kong, losing the drive you had before?”

“Su Heyuan, stop fixating on the old man’s money. He is ruthless; to survive, he would sacrifice his wife and children. Even if you eventually get his money, it will come at a tremendous cost. You are young and capable, and now the Mainland is vigorously developing its economy. Are you still worried about not making money?”

Unlike Father Su, Su Hongying had long ago warned the two brothers that Old Master Su was unfeeling and had told them not to keep high hopes.

After a moment of silence, Su Heyuan said, “Alright, I’ll call Lu Jiaxin now.”

When Lu Jiaxin heard he invited her to dinner, she knew he had made up his mind. In fact, she was very happy to collaborate with Su Heyuan, “Alright, come over now!”

Guh Xiuxiu asked, “Coming over at this time, is there something you need?”

Lu Jiaxin wasn’t ready to bare all to Guh Xiuxiu just yet, “There are some matters to discuss. Aunt, I won’t be home for lunch.”

Guh Xiuxiu wouldn’t interfere in her business but just reminded her, “The home tutor is coming tomorrow, and from now on, you’ll have classes from Monday to Friday.”

After working hard for five days, some people just wanted to relax on the weekend, but mainland China still didn’t have the two-day weekend at this time.

An hour and a half later, Su Heyuan came over and picked up Lu Jiaxin.

After the two left, Aunt Hong curiously asked, “Madam, is this Mr. Su pursuing Miss Cousin?”

Guh Xiuxiu glanced at her and said, “What pursuit? Jiaxin is only sixteen, she should focus on her studies now. Aunt Hong, don’t be too inquisitive about her affairs; she’s different from Haifan. Haifan is still a child, an orphan since young; showing him attention makes him happy. But although Lu Jiaxin is underage, she’s mature for her age, and she would grow tired if asked too much.”

Aunt Hong quickly nodded in agreement.

Aunt Mei brought her the steeped flower tea and said, “Mr. Su may be from the Mainland, but he is very capable. They say he started working for the Su Family Company and opened factories back on the Mainland. However, Miss Cousin is so smart and beautiful, Mr. Su still doesn’t quite measure up.”

Unlike Aunt Hong, she understood the old lady better. Her tolerance for Lu Jiaxin was because the girl was smart, pretty, and decisive. If she also gets into Hong Kong University and attains a good degree, marrying into a wealthy family in the future would be no issue.

Guh Xiuxiu took the tea, sipped it twice, and then said with a smile, “Xiaoxia saved Su Heyuan’s cousin; as a gesture of reciprocation, he has been very caring towards Jiaxin. Last month, he even helped Jiaxin buy Amigo stocks, turning a profit of two million after buying and selling.”

Both were utterly astonished, and Aunt Hong even frantically asked, “Two, two million? Madam, could there be a mistake?”

Guh Xiuxiu chuckled and replied, “How could there be a mistake? The money was transferred into her account yesterday afternoon. Speaking of which, this child does have plans; she went into business with Su Heyuan last year and earned over a million. When I was her age, all I thought about was eating, drinking, and dressing up.”

In disbelief, Aunt Hong said, “But when I was in the Forty-nine City, I heard people saying that Miss Cousin’s business venture failed and she lost more than half the money from selling the ancient painting.”

“That was to avoid attracting attention from others knowing she had made money; she purposely spread that story, but in reality, she made a good sum. She didn’t spend that money herself; it was all used by Su Heyuan to buy stocks. Money begets money, and now she has over three million on hand.”

Aunt Mei was the first to catch on, “No wonder Miss Cousin said she didn’t need the old lady’s money; turns out she’s quite the moneymaker, huh?”

A smile formed on Guh Xiuxiu’s face, “I wouldn’t say she’s that impressive; there are many in Hong Kong who can make more money than her! But the child indeed has the capability, and I needn’t worry about her future.”

As the car left the villa area, Lu Jiaxin asked, “Why the sudden invitation for a meal?”

Su Heyuan replied, “My plan for the clothing company is to invest three million. But since you want the bigger share, I’ll put in two million, and you’ll put in three million.”

Lu Jiaxin fell into thought.

“What’s wrong, do you think a five-million investment is too much? Jiaxin, resorting to small trickles won’t inspire confidence in buyers.”

Lu Jiaxin laughed and shook her head, “No, it’s just that I feel I don’t have enough money on hand; I need to make more.”

She had no intention of touching the stock market money, but now that Su Heyuan was willing to partner with her, she didn’t want to let go of such a good opportunity. As Su Heyuan said, she needed to study and had no time or energy to manage a company, but a dependable person in charge would save her a lot of trouble.

Su Heyuan laughed, “There will never be enough money. But once our company’s business takes off, we could then seek bank loans to expand.”

Lu Jiaxin negotiated with him, “Let’s partner for a year, and if we have disagreements afterward, I’ll sell my shares to you at market value.”

“Agreed.”
