Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2492 - 1840: Eye-Opening Experience
Previously on Inheritance of Two Trillion...
The second-in-command of the Yang Corporation, Mr. Yang Xiaoyun, accompanied by his daughter Yang Yishan, extended a warm reception to Bai Xiaosheng and his entourage.
Towards notable businessmen like Dong Tianlu, Mr. Yang Xiaoyun offered significant enthusiasm. However, his deference to Bai Xiaosheng was even greater, acknowledging Bai Xiaosheng’s distinguished standing.
As they proceeded indoors, Mr. Yang Xiaoyun maintained a close, arm-in-arm connection with Bai Xiaosheng, engaging in spirited conversation, his demeanor radiating abundant warmth.
"It is quite astonishing that Mr. Bai, despite his youth, has ascended to such a prominent leadership role within the Huaxia Business Group. Truly remarkable!"
"Upon hearing of your group's imminent arrival, I positioned myself at the entrance an full hour prior, eagerly anticipating the moment I could welcome all of you esteemed guests..."
"We are, after all, bound by the same Huaxia blood and ancestral ties; our connections run deep, stronger even than bone. Therefore, fostering closer ties in the future is essential!"
"Our Yang Corporation already maintains business relationships with several esteemed individuals present. We are all associates, and it would be mutually beneficial to enhance our future business collaborations."
"My elder brother specifically tasked me with extending this welcome, emphasizing his profound sincerity in cultivating robust relations with Huaxia business leaders and securing significant commercial agreements!"
Mr. Yang Xiaoyun possessed exceptional eloquence and a masterful delivery, articulating these sentiments with a wide smile and effervescent zeal.
Yet, the extent to which his words reflected genuine intent remained an open question.
Bai Xiaosheng offered a smile in return but refrained from underestimating the "Mr. Yang" whom Dong Tianlu had previously mentioned.
With Bai Xiaosheng’s current perceptive abilities, he could typically discern the thoughts of ordinary individuals with ease. However, in Mr. Yang’s case, he struggled to differentiate the genuine from the fabricated in his speech.
Mr. Yang had an uncanny knack for making falsehoods seem convincingly true, even to himself.
Such a man, capable of self-deception, posed a potential pitfall even for Bai Xiaosheng’s discerning insight.
Consequently, Bai Xiaosheng maintained a guarded stance around him.
As their progress continued inward, Bai Xiaosheng observed that Mr. Yang experienced difficulty with his legs. The walking cane was not merely an accessory or a status symbol but a genuine aid to his mobility. The gesture of linking arms served a dual purpose: expressing warmth and providing a subtle measure of support.
Bai Xiaosheng accommodated Mr. Yang Xiaoyun’s approach.
Considering their age difference, he was, in effect, an elder.
Mr. Yang Xiaoyun’s daughter, Yang Yishan, walked beside them, carrying herself with elegant poise, her gaze occasionally and discreetly studying Bai Xiaosheng.
Bai Xiaosheng maintained his placid composure.
Mr. Yang Xiaoyun and his daughter guided Bai Xiaosheng and his party towards the company's executive meeting room.
The meeting room had undergone a recent arrangement, adorned with fresh floral displays, and featuring tea and refreshments laid out on the table.
"You have all undertaken a considerable journey, so let us commence with a period of rest before our tour. The companies under Yang Corporation are largely situated within this vicinity, facilitating a comprehensive assessment. Subsequently, my daughter will provide a concise overview, following which we shall proceed to the main points of interest."
Mr. Yang Xiaoyun’s proposal was indeed thoughtful.
All present nodded in agreement, finding the suggested arrangement satisfactory.
"We appreciate your consideration, Mr. Yang," Bai Xiaosheng conveyed on behalf of the group, a smile gracing his lips.
"Not at all, not at all; after all, we share the same yellow skin and black eyes – we are family!" Mr. Yang Xiaoyun exclaimed, patting Bai Xiaosheng’s hand with a smile.
Everyone took their designated seats, with Bai Xiaosheng occupying the one adjacent to Mr. Yang Xiaoyun.
Mr. Yang Xiaoyun’s daughter, Yang Yishan, with a smile, moved to the side to oversee the setup of the projection equipment. She then bowed to everyone present, stating, "Esteemed pioneers of the business world, I am Yang Yishan, daughter of Mr. Yang Xiaoyun. I will now present a briefing. Should any questions arise during my presentation, I will endeavor to provide the best possible answers."
This Yang Yishan possessed an attractive visage and an amiable disposition, making her a pleasing figure to observe.
However, Bai Xiaosheng held a different perception.
Beneath Yang Yishan’s outwardly modest demeanor, he consistently detected an undercurrent of insincerity.
Nevertheless, Bai Xiaosheng gave it minimal attention, as her outward presentation was at least acceptable. Among the attendees were influential business figures, many of whom were current or prospective partners of the Yang Family. Her internal disposition was secondary to her maintaining appropriate decorum.
Following this, Yang Yishan commenced her presentation to the audience, focusing on the petrochemical sector, encompassing energy products, agrochemicals, rubber additives, synthetic materials, and more.
The companies affiliated with Yang Corporation were recognized leaders in their respective industrial domains.
Yang Yishan detailed the current developmental standing of these enterprises and outlined their future strategic objectives, effectively highlighting their significant achievements.
For instance, detailing the tremendous expansion of their operations, the incorporation of novel equipment and methodologies, accolades and recognitions earned, alongside projected market penetration strategies for both Eastern and Western spheres... It was precisely this information that Bai Xiaosheng had grasped. The report’s essence appeared to be a persuasive piece for potential collaborators, underscoring the value proposition of the Yang Family’s enterprises and thereby justifying any premium pricing or stringent terms they might impose... Ah, so this is the objective – to subtly influence us from the outset. Bai Xiaosheng listened intently, offering a knowing smile. Among those present who either had ongoing partnerships or expressed interest in collaborating with the Yang Family, a considerable number engaged in quiet discussions, exchanging observations. Only a sparse few mirrored Bai Xiaosheng’s composed expression. Yang Yishan observed this, a fleeting shadow of contempt crossing her gaze as she looked at Bai Xiaosheng. Indeed, prior to the commencement of the meeting, she had already acquainted herself with Bai Xiaosheng’s background and had discussed with her father the peculiar circumstances leading to an unfamiliar young individual assuming a provisional leadership role within the Huaxia Business Group. Figures of considerable repute, such as Dong Tianlu, Lu Tiandao, Zhang Qinglin, and Lin Tianyi, were relegated to the status of ordinary attendees.
