Despite what Liu Meilan said, Tang Xiaoyu still felt uncomfortable, "Oh, you're not trustworthy."

"Not only Roland, but other luxury goods companies are also determined to acquire South Sea pearls." Liu Meilan smiled bitterly. "No matter what price we offer, these companies will outbid us. Dafu Jewelry's profit margin is not as high as theirs, so we can't compete with them. However, once our cultured pearls are on the market soon, we'll have enough for the time being."

Tang Xiaoyu pouted, "You're just too easy to talk to."

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Don't say that. I have many profitable projects, but the villagers on the island rely on pearl farming to make a fortune. If we can't offer a price, don't stop us."

Tang Xiaoyu sighed, "I saw the pearls at the Sifang Island pearl farm. They are indeed quite good, but I wonder how the pearls you farmed at that place outside are doing?"

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Very good. I've checked it out. The quality is better than what we farm. I'll cooperate with the coastal province to apply for a sea area use permit so we can have more breeding bases. Then, we can develop more products in the Seven White Pearl series."

Tang Xiaoyu blinked and looked at Liu Meilan with a bit of pity, "I've been there before, and the scale of the aquaculture there isn't even as big as what we have on Sifang Island!"

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "I put a lot of them under the water!"

Tang Xiaoyu rolled his eyes. "It's precisely because I know this that I think it's unreliable! The ocean is so vast, with so many storms, those pearls are very likely to have been washed away! It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. Where will I find them then?"

Liu Meilan touched her nose. "Didn't I explain it to you? Our feed has certain characteristics. We feed these pearl oysters with this feed from the moment they hatch. They're used to the smell, so even if they're washed away, they can come back!"

Tang Xiaoyu was skeptical, "Really?"

Liu Meilan nodded, "Really? Anyway, we'll start catching pearl oysters soon, and you'll know then!"

Tang Xiaoyu thought for a moment, "Although I don't believe you're so angry, I believe you! I hope this time it's just as you said, don't let me down!"

Liu Meilan assured, "Don't worry!"

After chatting with Tang Xiaoyu here, Liu Meilan drove to the slimming tea factory with her bodyguards to take a look.

This is an industrial park, and many factories have already been built here.

At that time, they selected this factory site based on various conditions, and are now making modifications.

Tang Xiaoyu invited experienced factory managers and technical workers from outside, and ordered some domestic machinery according to their needs.

Liu Meilan came over to take a look and felt it was good. She promised to give everyone red envelopes on the day the work started smoothly.

After leaving the factory, Liu Meilan came to Liu Yiwen.

Liu Yiwen asked hurriedly: "Why are you free to come here today?"

Liu Meilan replied: "Then let me ask you about your recent underwater salvage work. How is it going?"

Liu Yiwen scratched his head. "We have found two safe hiding places. But after much exploration, we found the large boxes that contained the things."

Liu Meilan smiled and asked, "It's good news that you found it. How much gold is there?"

Liu Yibang shook his head and smiled bitterly. "There's not much gold. Most of it is gold products, and there are also some stone sculptures. The style looks like Southeast Asian. I'm an atheist, and I don't think any of them are beautiful. I don't know if they are worth money!"

Liu Meilan was stunned. "No gold at all?"

Liu Yiwen shook his head, "Yes, we caught 7 tons!"

Hearing this, Liu Meilan rolled her eyes at her second brother and asked, "Seven tons is not enough?"

Liu Yiwen sighed, "Compared to what we handed in, it's definitely a lot less! I asked my dad privately, and he said that we've already recovered no less than 500 tons of gold from the treasure spots we handed in!"

Liu Meilan gasped, "That's a lot!"

Liu Yiwen regretted, "So I feel a little unbalanced!"

Liu Meilan patted her second brother's arm and comforted him, "That much gold is equivalent to the country's three-year mining output. Do you think you can keep all this gold even if you hand it over half to the country?"

Liu Yiwen shook his head, "I can't keep it! Unless I run it out!"

Liu Meilan sneered twice. "Even if Run goes abroad, can it be saved? Don't be fooled by the so-called freedom, democracy, and rule of law in Western society! That's all propaganda. If you really take this gold out, you might die on the streets abroad one day! And then these things will become someone else's!"

Liu Yiwen understands the rules of the upper class. Although the political system is different, human nature is the same.

"That's right! It's better to hand it over. The gold is very painful."

Liu Meilan agreed. "You're right to think that way! Although we salvage less on the high seas, it's legal and compliant, so it won't cause envy."

Liu Yiwen touched his chin and said, "In fact, we have salvaged a lot of gold, but whether we can hide it is a problem!"

Liu Meilan chuckled, "Right! How can you be sure that your men won't leak the secrets? Even if they don't leak it to others, won't they tell others when asked? It's more likely that some of them are spies sent by the relevant departments, so just tell me this, don't say it outside!"

Liu Yiwen was slightly startled. "Is there anyone in our team assigned by the relevant department?"

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "I doubt it! But we are upright and honest, so we are not afraid of being criticized, let alone reported!"

Liu Yiwen thought for a moment, "That's true! After all, gold is an important reserve. Our salvage ships often find gold in the ocean, so it's normal that it attracts attention. Then I'll quickly send the gold to the bank and have them convert it into cash! I'll quickly pay the taxes and distribute the dividends to Wang Baobao."

Liu Meilan reminded, "Every transaction that is completed through the company must pay taxes on time and distribute dividends in a timely manner!"

Liu Yiwen nodded, "I understand! What's the matter with you coming here?"

"Nothing! I just came here for lunch after finishing my work, and it was a good time to chat with you!" Liu Meilan replied, then took out a box from her bag, "This is the slimming tea that my second sister-in-law made especially for you. Don't drink coffee all day, it's messy and it will damage your stomach. Drinking this can help you lose weight, and you don't have to worry about dieting all the time!"

Liu Yiwen was surprised, "Has this thing passed clinical trials?"

Liu Meilan replied, "It's approved! My mother and second sister-in-law invested in the company with their patents, and I gave them 10% of the shares each. Once the machinery and medicinal materials arrive, we can start production!"

Liu Yiwen took out a packet and put it to his nose to smell it. "Yes, it has the sweet-scented osmanthus scent that I like! Is it okay if I just soak it in hot water?"

Liu Meilan nodded, "Yes! My second sister-in-law is very powerful now, so don't mess around outside!"
