Chapter 540: Chapter 540 Greed Chapter 540: Chapter 540 Greed But he didn’t specify what the matter was.

Qin Yize didn’t ask either, knowing he would find out in due time.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Shen Manru also inquired about his mother and sister.

Qin Yishan had business today.

He looked at Qin Yize and began with a smile, “Big brother, I have something to discuss with you.”

“Then let’s go to the study.”

Qin Yishan nodded, and the two men made their way to the study.

Once seated, Qin Yishan got straight to the point, “Big brother, I really need to talk to you about something.”

“Go ahead, what is it?”

Qin Yize leisurely poured two cups of tea.

He handed one of the cups to Qin Yishan.

After taking a sip of tea, Qin Yishan forced a smile and said, “Big brother, one of your shops has been repaired, and I would like to use it for two years. Don’t worry, I will pay you rent for it.”

As he spoke, Qin Yishan’s mouth curled into a mocking smile.

However, he quickly concealed it.

It was indeed the Qin Family’s property, yet he had to pay rent for it.

But without saying it this way, the conversation could not proceed.

After all, this big brother was the one designated by the Great Grandfather as his successor.

Qin Yize raised an eyebrow and asked indifferently, “What do you want the shop for? Your business shouldn’t be here…”

“I’ve recently invested in a company, and their products are suitable only for sale in your storefront, plus we need a retail outlet.”

Qin Yize’s brow furrowed slightly.

This cousin of his had always skirted the edge of legality by leveraging the Qin Family’s power.

The background of the other investor in this company was dubious.

And he had already advised them twice.

But they still refused to see reason.

They were determined to keep the partnership going.

He wasn’t unwilling to give him the shop, but the condition was that the business must be legitimate, otherwise he would rather leave it vacant than hand it over.

After pondering for a moment, Qin Yize said, “It’s possible.”

Qin Yishan truly didn’t expect that his big brother would agree.

Overjoyed, he said, “Big brother, do you really agree?”

Qin Yize spoke calmly, “However, there is one condition.”

“What condition?”

“I need all the legal documentation for your supply and purchasing, and you’re not allowed to deal in smuggled goods–not even a single thread of it.”

Qin Yishan was taken aback.

He had no such legal documentation; the company was just a shell, engaged in smuggling and resale.

Because that’s where the real profit lay.

Moreover, it’s said that out of ten companies, nine are shell companies these days.

But he knew the temperament of the big brother in front of him.

If he outright told him that it was a shell company dealing in smuggling, how could he possibly agree?

Yet, where could he get a complete set of legitimate shipping and receiving documents?

If he forged a set, his big brother, being so smart, would surely discern the truth.

Qin Yishan’s expression shifted uncertainly, and he was silent for a long while.

Qin Yize asked flatly, “What’s the matter, don’t you have legal documents? Could it really be smuggling?”

Qin Yishan’s face changed.

Qin Yize’s gaze suddenly became stern as he said in a heavy voice, “Qin Yishan, don’t forget, you are a member of the Qin Family!”

“So what if I am a Qin Family member? You don’t even like doing business, but you became the successor. Great Grandfather, worried you might lack spending money, gave you the two best-located buildings just like that, while those of us who do business get nothing, and yet you say we’re Qin Family members?”

Unable to hold back any longer, Qin Yishan snarled in anger.

Qin Yize remained unmoved, his voice sharp, “Don’t make unreasonable scenes here. Have you forgotten how much start-up capital Great Grandfather gave you?”
