Chapter 692: Chapter 483: The Shen Family’s Sense of Crisis and Cheng Zhu’s True Colors_2
Shen Qingning’s expression beca slightly stern as she spoke seriously, “Haven’t you figured it out yet?”
“What should I figure out?”
“With the current popularity of Youu Tea in the capital market, there’s absolutely no worry about raising funds or finding investors. So, what Cheng Zhu needs to do now is to sift through and select the most beneficial investors for himself and for Youu Tea.”
“I definitely understand that.”
“But, have you considered what our family can bring to the table for Youu Tea, compared to these premium capitals out there?” Shen Qingning pointed out directly.
“Ah? So you an, Dad is worried that our cousin might not want our money, thinking others are more attractive?” Shen Minglang exclaid in surprise.
Shen Qingning nodded slightly and said softly, “We cannot rule out that possibility.”
She thought that by now, he should have caught on, right?
Instead, Shen Minglang jumped to his feet and, with a commanding wave of his hand, proclaid with the deanor of a great general, “Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”
The cool and detached girl: “…”
She had lost count of how many tis he had left her sowhat speechless today.
“Shen Minglang, our personal relationship with Cheng Zhu is separate from business.” She said in a firm voice.
“That may be, but look at now, I hold an important position at Youu Tea, and my cousin has emphasized more than once that I’m the only one in the company capable of doing my job; no one else can do it!”
Shen Qingning knew indeed that Shen Minglang had been placed in the position that suited him best by Cheng Zhu, but even such value was far from sufficient!
To her surprise, her brother, who usually feared her, now approached her and added, “And Cheng Zhu also said that your performance at the Zhou Jielun concert was exceptionally good, providing him with a perfect opportunity, which led to the promotion of all subsequent operations.”
“He also ntioned that your personal abilities are strong and that you have a much sharper business sense than . He plans to have you as the CFO of Youu Tea in the future!”
“Ningning, you should understand what the role of CFO ans for a company. Cheng Zhu is clearly valuing you highly, doesn’t that count for sothing?”
“Shen doesn’t know anything about Youu Tea; what could he possibly know?” Shen Minglang scoffed, his lips twisted in a display of arrogance.
The cheerful and outgoing young man even comforted her, lightly patting Ningning’s shoulder and saying,
“Therefore, you don’t need to underestimate yourself.”
…
…
Sotis, the world is just so interesting.
The Shen family thought Shen Minglang was the most confused, but sotis, it was his bizarre way of thinking that was the clearest.
Cheng Zhu’s attention to the Shen family indeed lay in the individuals, which was a part of his “kidnapping the Shen family” plan.
Shen Minglang’s irreplaceability needed no further emphasis.
As for Shen Qingning, with her agile mind, keen business sense, and the nurturing she received from her family since childhood, plus her habit of rational thinking, she could easily outdo the CEO of Yue Tea, Chen Yue, even if she were to strike out on her own.
Not to ntion those legs, ssss——, those legs of hers… ssss——!
Cheng Zhu indeed was not short of investors.
But what if the situation was like this?
Shen Guoqiang: This is for Ningning’s dowry.
Cheng Zhu: Aiyo, this is really embarrassing, aiyo aiyo!
The nature and value of the sa investnt amount would suddenly change.
At this mont, Shen Qingning returned to her room, but the words Shen Minglang had said echoed in her mind.
“Valuing highly?”
“Wants to be the CFO?”
She sat on the chair, a bit dazed.
Unknowingly, she adopted a squatting position on the chair.
Her calves, smooth and evenly toned, pressed against her thighs, her hands wrapped around her legs, her head resting on her knees, her gaze gradually becoming unfocused.
After a while, she snapped back to reality and then picked up her phone to order a batch of books online.
This ti, she was not buying romantic novels; instead, she ordered books related to the work of a CFO.
She was also considering whether to sign up for so courses.
“All for Youu Tea,” Shen Qingning thought to herself.
Ti passed, and soon it was May 12th.
Cheng Zhu planned to complete the fundraising by the end of May. Thus, he had been waiting, waiting for his favored venture capital firm to approach him.
During this ti, [ituan Takeout], [Ele], [Baidu Takeout] also contacted him, but Cheng Zhu still rejected them with the old lines.
“Join the platform, join my ass!”
“Hold the troops for now!”
The Youu Tea stores were basically operating at full capacity unless the weather was extrely bad.
Under such circumstances, whether they offered delivery services or not didn’t make much difference and wouldn’t increase Cheng Zhu’s earnings; after all, there was a daily limit on the number of drinks they could serve.
But Youu Tea stores were set to expand wildly in the second half of the year.
In such large first- and second-tier cities, just a few stores per city were not enough to cover the demand.
And the consur power of the younger market would only grow, eventually moving into third-tier cities.
“Once the number of stores increases, they won’t be operating at full capacity as much, and delivery will have to keep up.”
“Moreover, now it’s 2015, and joining platforms is one of the pri opportunities. All the major platforms are seeking expansion, and we haven’t reached the stage of harvesting rchants like leeks.”
He didn’t believe that the capital behind the delivery platforms would stay idle for long; he was sure they wouldn’t be able to hold their ground.
These capitals all had their own strategies, just like Zhao Long from Shendu Capital, who invested in a certain takeout platform, and then turned around and invested in Yue Tea.
