Kicked out of a wealthy family? I became a rich and beautiful woman thanks to the system.

Although Wen Yao was not familiar with the market, she could assure her that, disregarding brand effects, this pearl was more expensive than the necklace she had bought at Mingfu Jewelry last time.

Moreover, this farm was provided to her by the system.

"Ms. Liu, we are very satisfied with the pearls produced by your farm. I would like to ask if your family has supplied pearls to Mingfu Jewelry before."

Liu Yiqing pondered for a while.

"That is true, but that was when my grandfather was still alive. After our family could no longer produce good pearls, Mingfu Jewelry stopped accepting our pearls. Ten years ago, the brand only used freshwater pearls."

Freshwater pearls are produced from a single oyster producing multiple pearls, and they are much cheaper than saltwater pearls.

"Mr. Wen, our mussels are fed with plankton, a natural food source. Moreover, we now use scientific farming methods, and our seawater pearls are better than those produced by other companies."

Wen Yao said directly

"From now on, all the pearls produced by your farm will be supplied to our company. This year, we'll give you a deposit of 100 million yuan. You can then hire some more workers, as our demand is quite large. By the way, how many acres is your farm? What is its output?"

Liu Yiqing's farm looked very large, stretching as far as the eye could see, so Wen Yao didn't know the exact number of acres.

"Boss, this farm is huge. I didn't sell a single square meter back then. It's 4000 mu in total, and it can produce about 400 kilograms a year."

400 kilograms isn't much; you can't open an ordinary pearl jewelry store, only a high-end one.

"How about I offer you 100 yuan per gram?"

Liu Yiqing was pleasantly surprised. She hadn't expected Wen Yao to be so generous with the money. This was her first client, and just an hour ago she was still thinking about how to raise the price.

The pearls produced at their aquaculture base are indeed much better than those from other places, but they haven't supplied anyone for many years. Originally, she planned to lower the price to 70 yuan per gram in the first year.

"Ok, Ok."

Liu Yiqing readily agreed.

"Okay, we'll draft the contract when we get back. Once the contract is signed, you can send us the goods you have."

After discussing everything, Wen Yao and Tang Zhen got into the car together and left Pearl Island.

"Boss, are you planning to sell pearls?"

Wen Yao nodded

"Yes, I still remember the things Mingshun slandered about me before."

By the way, I remember Mingfu Jewelry targets the high-end jewelry market?

Tang Zhen nodded.

"That's right. Hundreds of years ago, the Ming family's jewelry was exclusively supplied to royalty and nobility. Ordinary merchants couldn't buy it even if they had money. However, back then they used seawater pearls."

After liberation, their pearls began to enter the market, but they were positioned as a high-end brand. To maintain this image, Mingfu Jewelry only opened stores in first-tier cities.

To put it bluntly, they've positioned themselves as luxury brands, and people who buy Mingfu Jewelry are drawn to their brand.

So even though Mingfu Jewelry started using freshwater pearls in recent years, there are still people willing to spend a lot of money to buy them.

After returning to the group, Tang Zhen began drafting the contract.

Wen Yao was also working on her computer.

"Tang Zhen, I think we should create a separate pearl brand. How about we call it Mingzhenfang, and ride on the popularity of Mingcuifang?"

Tang Zhen pondered for a while

"This name is good, easy to remember, and it also lets people know that it comes from the same company as Mingcuifang."

The sub-brand Mingzhenfang was finalized on the same day.

Wen Yao also contacted an agency to find a shop near the city center.

After finishing all her work, it was already evening, and Wen Yao finally went home.

At this moment, Yin Jia had just finished her work and walked downstairs to the company building when a man blocked her way.

"Ms. Yin, do you have time to chat?"

Yin Jia was already quite tired, and now she had even less of a mood to chat with a stranger.

"I am the assistant to the chairman of the Ming Group. This is my business card. I flew from Nancheng to Haicheng this afternoon specifically to meet you."

With just a word from the boss, his assistant had to travel to another city within a single day.

“Our Ming Group has a very famous jewelry brand called Mingfu Jewelry. Ms. Yin, you are also a jewelry designer, so I think we can have a chat.”

Yin Jia didn't need to guess to know why he came today.

"No need. I just met your chairman a few days ago, and I have no plans to switch jobs right now."

The assistant smiled. It's just that the conditions weren't right; we're all just working people, he understands.

"Ms. Yin, is there some misunderstanding? Mingfu Jewelry is a top-tier global jewelry brand. I sincerely suggest you come and visit our group. Our group has a great work atmosphere, and everyone here is just an employee. There's no such thing as lofty ideals. We're just here to make a living. Naturally, people strive for better opportunities and people naturally move downhill."

As she spoke, the assistant even raised an eyebrow.

"Ms. Yin, our company has carefully analyzed each of your works. With your talent, you are fully capable of living a better life. Why don't you tell us about your conditions first?"

Yin Jia gave a cold laugh.

"Sir, why don't you tell me what terms you can offer me?"

The assistant puffed out his chest. It seemed Yin Jia was quite savvy; after all, money was the most important thing in this business.

"If you come to our company, there will be no probation period; you will be a full-time employee from the start."

Upon hearing the first sentence, Yin Jia was amused and chuckled to herself.

"Moreover, our company is full of talented people. Although you can no longer be the chief designer, our company can offer you a salary of one million a year!"

Yin Jia raised an eyebrow

"That's it?"

The assistant was taken aback. These weren't enough?

"We can also provide you with employee dormitories, right near the company, within the first ring road of Nancheng. They are one-bedroom, two-living room apartments with river views. If you want to buy a house, we can apply for a discount for the manager. You only need to pay a portion, and the company will cover the rest."

Yin Jia's eyes were filled with a smile.

"I was already the chief designer three years ago when I was working abroad, and my annual salary was two million, not including the year-end bonus."

Also, my home in Haicheng is just ahead.

Yin Jia pointed to a building in front of them; this was a luxury residential complex.

Even a single apartment can cost tens of millions.

"My boss gave it to me."

The assistant was stunned. They were both working people, and now he suddenly wanted to switch jobs.

"Really?"

These two words convey a sense of weakness and powerlessness.

"Otherwise, why do you think I work so hard every day?"

Of course, it's because hard work brings hope.
