Inspired by Steve Rothschild, Changying Motors extended invitations to all well-known or sizable upstream enterprises in the automotive industry, to host the first Changying Motors Suppliers Conference in Jinling.
Enterprises controlled or invested in by the Rothschild family, without exception, all received invitations.
Originally, they did not take this suppliers conference too seriously.
In fact, not just in the automotive industry, all large client enterprises would regularly hold similar suppliers conferences, or partner conferences. For example, Apple holds a developers conference every year, inviting all enterprises dependent on the Apple ecosystem for research and development. On one hand, to strengthen relations with partners, on the other hand, to communicate the upcoming strategic direction, so everyone can prepare in advance to cooperate with their next strategic plans.
Such routine client conferences, companies generally send a mid-to-high-level executive to show face and support the event. So these companies also planned the same, arranging someone to come over would be giving face.
But no one expected that the heir of the Rothschild family, Steve Rothschild, would have his assistant contact them, urging them to attach great importance to cooperation with Changying Motors, absolutely not to neglect it, and to grant Changying Motors the highest level of cooperation grade, highest priority, and lowest cooperation price.
Steve Rothschild’s status in the minds of these suppliers was unmatched in the entire business world. Even he explicitly stated his position, everyone immediately took Changying Motors seriously. The lists of participants submitted by these enterprises to Changying Motors, without exception, were all the highest-level leaders of the companies.
Seeing that comrade Steve Rothschild was so attentive to the organisation’s cause, Ye Chen felt gratified and at the same time appreciated him a bit more.
Subsequently, he instructed He Yuanjiang to set the suppliers conference venue at the Buckingham Palace Hotel, to properly entertain these partners coming from afar.
Originally planning to hold it as soon as possible, but upon learning that all coming were the highest leaders of the suppliers, Ye Chen felt this matter should be carefully prepared. Since Changying Motors had already been established with high profile and promoted with high profile, might as well continue to hold high and strike hard while the iron is hot, turning the suppliers conference into the biggest news in the industry recently.
Before this, no automotive enterprise had been able to gather all the big shots in the automotive supply chain. Changying Motors’ first suppliers conference might create history. This was a good opportunity for publicity, allowing the world to further see Changying Motors’ confidence.
Thus, Ye Chen scheduled the suppliers conference after the lunar February, leaving some time for preparation, and some time for buildup.
…
After Ye Chen’s life returned to normal rhythm, time was getting closer and closer to lunar February.
During this period, he almost had to commute to Champs-Élysées Hot Springs every day, occasionally also going to meet with maternal grandparents and uncles, to chat about the upcoming development direction of Changying Motors.
Steve Rothschild indeed kept his word.
He had agreed with Xiao Churan that on the second day of the second lunar month, they would go to Yanjing together, to watch Gu Qiuyi’s last farewell concert.
To avoid Xiao Churan’s suspicion, Ye Chen’s pretext was to accompany her to watch, because she had always liked Gu Qiuyi very much.
But after Xiao Churan learned of Gu Qiuyi’s identity, as well as her relationship with Ye Chen, although not to the point of hating Gu Qiuyi, out of a woman’s instinct, the previous liking for Gu Qiuyi had already vanished into thin air.
But she still gladly accepted Ye Chen’s pretext, because she did not want Ye Chen to suspect, nor did she want to disappoint Ye Chen.
Moreover, since she had already decided to leave Ye Chen, deep in her heart she hoped even more that Ye Chen could be safe and happy. In her view, Gu Qiuyi was the most suitable one for Ye Chen.
If in the future Ye Chen avenged his great enmity and his identity could be announced to the world, then he could also hold hands with Gu Qiuyi and enter the marriage hall, fulfilling the marriage agreement set by both parents more than twenty years ago. At that time, if their story was known to the world, everyone would surely be moved by their bumpy emotional journey over these many years.
At the end of the lunar first month, Xiao Churan went to Qixia Temple, meeting Tang Sihai again.
Tang Sihai had already prepared to take Xiao Churan’s family to leave China, but the specific implementation still needed Xiao Churan’s cooperation.
He told Xiao Churan, “Madam Ye, this subordinate will set off for Australia tomorrow. After the second day of the second lunar month, I still need Madam Ye to cooperate a bit, to lure the young master to go.”
Xiao Churan nodded and asked, “How do I need to cooperate?”
Tang Sihai said, “After this subordinate arrives in Australia, I will create a little news there. However, for safety’s sake, I won’t make the news too big. At that time, I will send the news link to Madam Ye. I hope Madam Ye can pretend it was accidental, mention it in front of the young master, and find a way to let him see the news content.”
