Chapter 123 A Legend Forged on the Road to Business, Xin'an Shines Forever
Su Jinxin originally thought that once she had dealt with those stubborn old men, Yunjin would sell like hotcakes and she could make money without lifting a finger.
Little did I know, this was just the first step in a long journey!
Good heavens, orders are pouring in like snowflakes, but the warehouse can't keep up with the demand for Yun brocade.
Raw materials are running out!
There aren't enough skilled weavers!
Even the cash flow is starting to get tight!
This is a sweet burden that's driving me crazy!
What's even more upsetting is that those competitors who were humiliated by Su Jinxin are now all acting like they're on steroids, spreading rumors everywhere that Su Jinxin's business empire is about to collapse, her cash flow is drying up, and she's about to run away!
The rumor spread faster than a plague, causing widespread panic.
Some of the original partners are now taking a wait-and-see approach, and some have even withdrawn their investments, fearing that they will be dragged down by Su Jinxin.
"The bigger the tree, the more the wind will blow against it!" Su Jinxin rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on.
Yan Cheng'an poured her a cup of tea and comforted her, "Don't worry, Xin'er, we will definitely get through this."
Su Jinxin took the teacup, took a small sip, and her eyes gradually hardened: "Hmph, you want to see me make a fool of myself? No way! I'm not so easily defeated!" She put down the teacup, a confident smile playing on her lips: "It's time to unleash my ultimate move..." She walked to her desk, picked up a calligraphy brush, and began to write a letter.
Yan Cheng'an curiously leaned over and saw several large characters written on the letter: "Emergency Rescue!"
He was about to ask what was going on when he saw Su Jinxin had already sealed the letter and handed it to the guard beside her: "Hurry up and deliver it to..." She paused and said a name that shocked Yan Cheng'an.
The guard obeyed and left, leaving Yan Cheng'an alone in the study, filled with doubt.
Su Jinxin smiled mysteriously and kept everyone in suspense: "It's a secret, just wait and see!"
Su Jinxin sent this letter, pleading for help, to all sorts of extraordinary people and business tycoons she had met over the years while traveling the world.
Some of these people had received favors from her, while others admired her business acumen; in short, they were all part of her hidden "network of contacts."
In the letter, Su Jinxin did not complain about her poverty, but clearly stated her current predicament, future development prospects, and mutually beneficial cooperation plan.
This isn't a cry for help; it's clearly a tempting business plan!
Sure enough, within a few days, good news came from all over the country.
Su Jinxin's network of contacts came like a timely rain, solving her immediate problem.
Moreover, she turned the tables, using rumors spread by her competitors to create a sense of crisis and attract more investors' attention.
When those businesses that had originally withdrawn their investment saw that Su Jinxin not only didn't fail but actually grew bigger and bigger, they were all filled with regret and cried out for their return to cooperate.
Su Jinxin smiled slightly and said, "Sorry, you need to queue now."
As for those competitors who spread rumors, Su Jinxin had already arranged for people to collect evidence of their commercial fraud and directly filed a lawsuit against them in court.
This time, they not only lost both their wife and their money, but also became infamous in the business world, never to be able to hold their heads up again.
The popularity of Nanjing brocade continues to soar, becoming a fashion trend. From royalty and nobility to ordinary people, everyone takes pride in owning a piece of Nanjing brocade.
Su Jinxin's name resounded throughout the country, making her a legendary figure in the business world.
"Madam, everything is ready for the celebration." Yan Cheng'an's voice interrupted Su Jinxin's thoughts.
She stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the bustling street, a slight smile playing on her lips: "The show is just beginning..." Inside the magnificent celebration hall, elegant ladies swayed in the breeze, and glasses clinked in lively conversation.
Su Jinxin, dressed in a custom-made brocade gown, was radiant and truly a "flower of wealth and nobility."
The guests surrounded her like stars around the moon, showering her with compliments: "Ms. Su is truly a woman who rivals any man!" "A business genius, I would call you the strongest!"
Su Jinxin smiled slightly, her every move exuding elegance and poise: "Keep it low-key, it's just good luck." But in her heart, she thought to herself: Good luck?
No, that's not true. It's all the result of my efforts in both my past and present lives!
Yan Cheng'an stood beside her, a doting smile on his handsome face, perfectly embodying the image of "the man behind a successful woman".
His deep gaze remained fixed on Su Jinxin, as if she were the only person in the entire world.
After the celebration, the noise subsided, and the Yan residence returned to its usual tranquility.
Su Jinxin took off her fancy clothes, changed into comfortable loungewear, and lay lazily on the soft couch.
Yan Chengan brought a cup of hot tea to her side and gently massaged her shoulders.
"You must be exhausted?" His gentle voice rang in her ear.
Su Jinxin squinted comfortably, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility: "It's alright, but I just feel like giving up."
Yan Cheng'an chuckled and kissed her forehead: "Then Madam, please rest well. I'll take care of everything."
He bent down, picked her up horizontally, and carried her to the bedroom.
Su Jinxin wrapped her arms around his neck and snuggled against him like a contented kitten.
Moonlight streamed through the window into the room, casting two intertwined shadows on the floor.
Yan Chengan put Su Jinxin down and gazed at her affectionately, his eyes filled with love.
"Xin'er," he called softly, his voice slightly hoarse, "you are truly amazing!"
Su Jinxin was amused by him and reached out to gently stroke his cheek: "Cheng'an, do you know? I have an even bigger surprise for you..."
She leaned close to his ear and whispered something.
Yan Cheng'an's pupils suddenly dilated as he stared at her in disbelief.
"is this real?"
Su Jinxin smiled mysteriously, without answering, but simply put her index finger to his lips: "Shh...it's a secret for now."
She rolled out of bed, walked to the window, and gazed at the twinkling stars in the night sky, her eyes sparkling with a strange light.
"Our journey..." she murmured to herself, "is to the stars and the sea!" Su Jinxin stood in front of the French windows, the night breeze gently caressing her hair, the moonlight outlining her beautiful profile.
The four words "the vast ocean of stars" resonated deeply within her.
That's right! Making money and building a career—that's the greatest joy in life!
Yan Cheng'an hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder, his warm breath brushing against her neck.
"Xin'er, what exactly is this surprise you mentioned?" His tone was tinged with curiosity, yet also with a hint of worry.
After all, when his wife gets into business, she's ruthless and unforgiving, and he's afraid she'll overdo it and exhaust herself.
Su Jinxin smiled slyly, turned around, stood on tiptoe, and whispered in his ear, "I want to venture into... maritime trade!"
Yan Chengan: ?
Maritime trade?
Isn't this a bit too big of a leap?
His wife was dealing in cosmetics and silks not long ago, and now she's off to conquer the seas.
That's faster than him turning the pages of a storybook!
“Madam,” Yan Chengan’s lips twitched, “wouldn’t it be better if we proceeded cautiously? The sea is rough, what if…”
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained!" Su Jinxin interrupted him, her eyes gleaming with excitement. "This is an incredibly profitable business! Just imagine, with all those rare and exotic treasures from overseas flowing back to Daqi, we'll be richer than a country!"
She counted on her fingers, envisioning a bright future, as if mountains of gold and silver were already piled up before her.
"When the time comes, we'll buy an island, build a huge estate, and raise a bunch of furry little animals..."
Yan Cheng'an sighed helplessly as he watched her beaming face.
He knew that once she made up her mind, nothing could change it.
Oh well, what can I do? She's his wife!
Pamper me!
In the days that followed, Su Jinxin began intensive preparations.
She first recruited a group of experienced sailors and shipbuilders, and then she gathered information about overseas trade from all over the world.
Seeing her so busy that she barely had time to breathe, Yan Chengan felt sorry for her, but could only silently support her.
He knew that Su Jinxin was not the kind of woman who was content with the status quo; she had a fire burning brightly in her heart that would never cease.
With everything ready, Su Jinxin stood on the dock, watching the fleet about to set sail, her heart filled with pride and ambition.
"Cheng'an," she turned around and smiled sweetly at Yan Cheng'an behind her, "Wait for me to come back!"
Looking at her confident demeanor, Yan Cheng'an felt both proud and worried.
He stepped forward and took her hand tightly.
"Xin'er..." he hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Su Jinxin gently patted the back of his hand and gave him a reassuring look.
Then, she turned around and boarded the flagship without hesitation.
"set sail!"
With a command given, the fleet slowly sailed away from the port, setting sail for the vast ocean...
Su Jinxin stood at the bow of the ship, facing the sea breeze, her gaze fixed firmly on the distance.
"A new chapter..." she murmured softly, "has begun..."
Suddenly, there was a commotion on the deck.
"Madam! Madam! Come quick!" A sailor rushed over.
Su Jinxin frowned slightly, a sense of foreboding rising in her heart.
"what happened?"
The water finger pointed ahead, its voice trembling as it said, "What...what is that..."
Su Jinxin looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a huge... whirlpool appearing on the distant sea!
