Chapter 2388: 2202: Cooperation

Ye Qiu knew very well that over here, without the help of local influencers, no matter how much money is invested, the situation might change at any moment. Ye Qiu didn’t have the time to frequently visit this place, so he knew that if he wanted to invest here, he had to rely on these local influencers.

When he got in the car, Ye Qiu already had a solid plan.

He definitely wanted to invest in these forest resources.

Right now, the domestic furniture business is still thriving, and even many ordinary composite furniture sets cost tens of thousands of yuan. Those still contain harmful gases like formaldehyde.

Furniture made from natural hardwoods is undoubtedly more valuable.

Currently, the domestic market lacks stable sources of lumber.

This is why the country is buying wood from all over the world, from Southeast Asia to Africa, then from Africa to Australia and the Amazon Basin.

Of course, the wood from Siberia is also being watched, but not many people are able to do business here.

When Boss Zhong drove back towards the Chinese community, he didn’t expect to see Liliya, beautifully dressed in a fur coat, looking for them just as they arrived.

"Ye Qiu, where did you guys just go?" Liliya asked.

"Liliya, what’s up? Is there something you need?"

"Not really, just that my father wants to meet you."

Actually, it was also Liliya who wanted to see Ye Qiu.

That night, when Ye Qiu held her, she found that although Ye Qiu wasn’t very muscular, when he lifted her up, she felt a strong sense of security.

That powerful feeling has always been unforgettable for her.

"Does your dad need something?"

Ye Qiu was puzzled.

Given that, Ye Qiu was ready to go over and have a look.

"Wenting, are you coming?"

Ye Qiu knew Zhou Wenting was a bit reluctant to go over there, especially since many people died that night.

However, he wasn’t worried about leaving Zhou Wenting alone for her safety, just that she might feel bored.

"Wherever you go, I’m going with you."

Zhou Wenting replied.

When Boss Zhong also went with them, Ye Qiu drove a car following Liliya’s bodyguard’s vehicle towards the Gothic-style building.

Upon arriving there, Boss Zhong was a bit overwhelmed by the sight of the building.

As they got out of the car, Ye Qiu and Liliya first went to see her father.

Liliya’s father was almost recovered, but the scare from that night and possibly catching a cold made him look not very well.

Furthermore, he was coughing a little.

However, this wasn’t a major illness; taking some cold medicine would make it fine.

"Mr. Yakov, was the matter from that night resolved?"

"You mean the traitor, right? I’ve already had him buried."

Buried?

It is evident that the matter is resolved.

In the underworld, there’s nothing more hated than a traitor, but such things always happen.

Yakov knew very well that if something happened to him, or even if he died of cancer, his daughter might be in deep trouble.

Fortunately, these problems were solved.

Now that his sickness was cured, he coincidentally handled a traitor as well.

This matter truly owed a lot to this young man.

"Doctor Ye, thank you once again for saving me and my daughter," Yakov said.

"It was nothing, I couldn’t just stand by and do nothing. However, now that I’m here, I was thinking we could discuss a business deal."

Business deal?

Does this Doctor Ye also do business?

"Doctor Ye, you do business?"

"I have some funds, and there’s an abundance of resources in Siberia, so it’s a good opportunity for investment."

"What do you want to invest in?"

"Let’s start with lumber. There’s a lot of lumber here. If Yakov can provide the wood, I can turn it into furniture and ship it back home for sale. It’s a pretty good business."

Lumber business?

The Mafia Organization really hasn’t been involved in this area before; they are more about quick-profit ventures, even including arms deals.

However, these years of crackdown on Mafia Organizations have made them less rampant than before.

As for the lumber business, Yakov really hadn’t thought about it.

"Is the lumber business profitable?"

"The profit can be over tenfold."

Actually, as long as there’s even double the profit, many people would be eager to get involved.

But there are too many people in Russia, unlike back home, where every industry has people scrambling to join.

So, even though people here are sitting on these resources, they don’t need to do much to live quite well.

"Well then, of course I can support you."

Yakov said.

For him, this wouldn’t be making money, and thanks to Ye Qiu’s help these two times, he wouldn’t feel like he owes anything.

"I have two cooperation proposals: one is you provide the wood, we process it ourselves, and the other is you provide the wood, and we give you ten percent of the profit."

Actually, the first proposal leads to quicker returns.

The second proposal, although not sure about the profits yet, seems better for Ye Qiu.

"Both are fine," Yakov said.

"Alright then, let’s go with the first proposal. You supply the wood, and we’ll build a furniture processing plant in the Chinese community. You just need to continuously transport lumber over, and initially, I plan to invest ten billion Huaxia Yuan."

Ten billion Huaxia Yuan, that’s nearly a hundred billion Rubles.

Though Ye Qiu had just received five million US Dollars as a treatment fee, a hundred billion Rubles is not something an ordinary person can handle; that’s for the wealthy!

Yakov hadn’t realized this young man was so wealthy.

However, considering his excellent medical skills, earning a hundred billion Rubles shouldn’t be too hard.

After a simple negotiation with Yakov, when the two came out of the room, they both were particularly happy, especially Yakov, who looked so delighted, as if he had been drinking.

"Dad, what made you so happy?"

"Doctor Ye wants to do a business deal with me. Daughter, how about you take charge of this deal?"

Doing business?

"What kind of business?"

"Lumber business."

Liliya didn’t understand what was so great about this. If Ye Qiu needed wood, he could buy it himself since there’s plenty of timber in Siberia, and many logging companies sell timber.

"Your family provides the wood at the current market price, and I’ll invest a hundred billion Rubles to build a processing plant in the Chinese community."

A hundred billion Rubles?

Not only did this scare Liliya, but even Boss Zhong was startled.

Although he knew Ye Qiu’s family lived in a billion-dollar mansion in Jinling, he never expected Ye Qiu to be so wealthy, casually investing ten billion here.
