Chapter 691: Chapter 483: The Shen Family’s Sense of Crisis and Cheng Zhu’s True Colors
The Shen family currently only had Shen Minglang foolishly worrying.
He was only thinking about why Daddy wasn’t hurrying to raise money. With a project as incredible as Youu Tea, every venture capital firm was scrambling to get a piece of the action, and if we missed this opportunity, there would be no second chance!
Little did he know that Shen Guoqiang and Shen Qingning were already feeling imnse pressure.
It was no longer a question of how much more money to invest.
The question was… would Cheng Zhu be willing to let us continue investing?
Did we even qualify to make follow-on investnts!
After Shen Minglang had finished his naive boasting, both Daddy and his sister remained silent.
At first, he thought they were shocked by the forcefulness he had just learned and were digesting the terrifying amount of information.
“Haha, they would never expect that we have already expanded to the food delivery platform!”
“True, after all, the food delivery platforms have only started to boom this year, everyone’s attention was previously on group buying.”
“Such a far-reaching layout, it’s normal to be shocked, hahaha gaga!”
Finally, after a long silence, Shen Guoqiang dropped a question unexpectedly, “How good is your relationship with Cheng Zhu?”
The middle-aged man had never imagined that a business project involving the younger generation would one day involve personal connections and emotional depth.
Shen Guoqiang, a man of status in Hang City’s business world, had never expected such an absurd situation.
He knew very well that from a purely business perspective, the Shen family’s ability to help Youu Tea was limited.
However, the Shen family did possess what was called “rits of following the dragon.”
Because they invested early, investing 60 million directly in the first round.
But there was an awkward point here.
If the Shen family had invested at the sa ti as Pulin Capital, then their “rits of following the dragon” would be set in stone; it could be said that they had the vision to recognize and unearth an exceptionally promising underground project.
No matter how many rounds of financing there were later, they could firmly demand priority rights.
After all, they had supported Youu Tea’s growth when the capital market didn’t view it favorably, and it deserved to be written on the first page of the rit book!
However, the problem was that Shen Guoqiang invested money, partly because Yue Dongyi’s Pulin Capital had invested a hundred million! He made the follow-on investnt afterwards!
Moreover, initially, Yue Dongyi wanted to invest more than a hundred million, but it was Cheng Zhu who had declined, leaving this gap for the Shen family.
rits of following the dragon?
Was it Cheng Zhu you followed?
You were actually just following the legendary figure in the venture capital world, Yue Dongyi!
The most helpful thing the Shen family could currently offer was to provide a backdoor in Star City for Youu Tea.
But the reality was: Youu Tea, by its own rit, had increased the mall’s custor traffic! Thereby boosting the mall’s sales revenue!
Plus, the purposeful opportunity of a 60 million investnt in the first round was already a generous offer by Cheng Zhu.
Of course, this also stemd from his disdain for his own son, thus he had always downplayed Shen Minglang’s role at Youu Tea.
In fact, Cheng Zhu couldn’t find a second person more suitable for the job than him at the mont.
The job was too lucrative and exaggerated, yet our Young Master Shen was not greedy, even paying out of his pocket to upgrade to first class.
At that mont, upon hearing Shen Guoqiang asking about the siblings’ relationship with Cheng Zhu, Shen Minglang and Shen Qingning felt very different emotions.
Shen Minglang: Holy shit, not just cousins by na, but more like real brothers!
Old man, why ask this, you’re not thinking of not giving money, right? This isn’t about coming for money because we’re close! Wake up!
Shen Qingning: My relationship with Cheng Zhu?
A multitude of complex emotions surged in her heart in an instant.
All the past events surged in Shen Qingning’s heart, but ultimately, they boiled down to just that classic four-character relationship—Business is Business!
Fortunately, Shen Minglang spoke on their behalf, “Dad, our relationship is super good, otherwise how could we call each other cousin? Moreover, he and Jiang Wanzhou are childhood friends, everyone knows everything.”
“You can see how much I’m valued in my work at Youu Tea!” He even started boasting confidently.
Shen Guoqiang looked at him for a long ti, eventually just silently nodding.
If the relationship was really strong and there were no gaps in cooperation, then there indeed was space to operate.
He looked at his children and said, “For this second round of financing, my idea is that I hope our Shen family won’t be diluted.”
“Recently, you should interact with Cheng Zhu more, gather more, emotions need to be maintained.”
Though the Shen family’s cash flow was very tight, he gritted his teeth and said, “Whatever amount he is willing to let you two follow up on, we will match!”
Shen Minglang: Satisfied, comfortable.
Shen Qingning: It’s the first ti I’ve seen Daddy treat a young person this way.
…
…
Minutes later, Shen Guoqiang went upstairs alone into the study.
He had to start raising money as much as possible, and it had to be now, imdiately, right away!
Shen Qingning and Shen Minglang were left sitting in the living room, one feeling sowhat down while the other was ecstatic.
Shen Minglang looked at his sister and said, “It seems Daddy still seriously considers our Youu Tea, I really feared he wouldn’t invest properly this ti.”
“How could anyone not value Youu Tea.” Shen Qingning was sowhat speechless, unable to comprehend her brother’s bizarre thought process.
“Then why did he ask if our relationship with Cheng Zhu was good?”
