I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 334 Father and Son, Father and Daughter

In front of his father, Li Le didn't need to hold back and spoke his mind freely.

"I've always wanted to do business with Fang Qingye, and investing in Ele.me is one such opportunity. But it requires an investment of at least 5000 million yuan, and the future is uncertain. 5000 million yuan is no small sum; what if we lose it all?!"

“Our family’s money didn’t grow on trees. People think that working in the entertainment industry is easy and makes money easily, but who knows how risky it is? There are so many temples and so many gods. If we have to worship at every temple, and offend any god, our lives will be difficult. It seems like we make so much money in a year, but how much do we actually lose?!”

As Li Le spoke, her eyes reddened, completely unlike the calm and composed expression she maintained in front of outsiders.

In front of his father, he no longer needed to pretend.

Li Renyi patted his son on the shoulder to comfort him: "I know all that. Now, let me ask you again, why do you want to cooperate with Fang Qingye?"

"Because I think Fang Qingye is a very special person." Li Le quickly regained his composure and controlled his emotions.
“He has a very accurate eye for investment and business. In addition, I also want to get closer to him through business partnerships. Because I think that being friends with him can only be beneficial to Shengtai Industry and to me personally.”

"Since that's the case, and Fang Qingye has become a major shareholder of Ele.me, why aren't you following suit? Don't you value and trust him highly? Isn't this a contradiction?!"

Hearing his father's words, Li Le was stunned. "This..."

Li Renyi smiled.

"Xiao Le, the reason I handed over Shengtai Industry to you so early is because I think you are quite capable and have a good eye for people. Just trust your judgment."

"Okay, Dad! I'll go find Fang Qingye tomorrow. Shengtai Industrial has decided to invest! I'm off!" He said, and hurriedly left the yard.

Li Renyi smiled and picked up the watering can again to continue watering the flowers.

In contrast to the very peaceful communication between Li Renyi and his son, the conversation between Qian Weimin and his daughter was full of tension.

"Dad, I've made up my mind. I'm going to invest in Ele.me."

In Qian Weimin's office, Qian Xiaoli spoke to her father.

Qian Weimin sat behind his large executive desk, looked at his daughter, and refused without hesitation: "Xiaoli, 50 million! Do you think it's 5000 or 5? What if it all goes down the drain?!"

"To save on interest, your old man shamelessly asked Zhao Wenjun for a loan of 200 million. Good heavens, you just ask for 5000 million!"

Upon hearing about borrowing money, Qian Xiaoli became even more furious:

"Dad, don't mention borrowing money from Zhao Wenjun again, it's so embarrassing! Everyone's laughing at you behind your back, calling you poor and stingy!"

"Pshaw, you think I'm the only one who borrowed money? Did Shi Jingsheng borrow money or not? Did Zhang Shuren borrow money or not? And Zhang Shuren didn't even borrow in the name of Yongli Investment, but privately. Who said anything about him?! Really." Qian Weimin retorted.

Hearing her father's words, Qian Xiaoli's pretty face turned red with anger: "With the way you're doing things, the rural banks won't be around for long!"

"Have you ever seen a domestic bank go bankrupt? What's there to be afraid of? It has Baoshang as a major shareholder, and the government will bail it out." Qian Weimin said dismissively.

"Fine, I don't care about that mess with the bank, but this 5000 million must be invested! I've explained all the pros and cons to you clearly, and I don't want to say any more. If you're not willing, I won't take over Tenglong Group!"

"I won't get married! I swear!"

"Hey, Xiaoli, how come business matters are being brought up with marriage?" Qian Weimin said helplessly.

“I’m afraid you’ll mess up Tenglong Group, leaving a mess and a mountain of debt. If I’m in trouble, my children will suffer too!”

After saying that, Qian Xiaoli turned and walked towards the door.

This infuriated Qian Weimin.

"You...you stop right there! Is this how a daughter talks to her father?!"

Qian Xiaoli ignored him and pushed open the office door, only to find Qian Tao standing there. Seeing Qian Xiaoli storming out, Qian Tao quickly explained, "Xiaoli, I have something to report to Uncle." He then waved a stack of documents in his hand.

Qian Xiaoli stopped and stared at him: "Qian Tao, just be your technical vice president and don't meddle in other things!" After saying that, she turned and left without looking back.

Qian Tao was a little embarrassed. He stood at the door, unsure whether to go in or back out. After thinking for a moment, he knocked on the door and went into the office.

Fang Qingye met Li Le in the nursery office the next morning.

"Qingye, I've decided to invest." Li Le said decisively.

“Welcome. Once Ele.me’s financing report and valuation data are ready, we’ll discuss the details together in Shanghai,” Fang Qingye said.

“Okay, Qingye, let’s go to the Grand World tonight to celebrate! It’s on me!” Li Le said.

Fang Qingye laughed after hearing this: "The contract hasn't been officially signed yet, what's there to celebrate?"

"Let's play together for a while."

Li Le extended a warm invitation, and Fang Qingye, not wanting to refuse, agreed.

After Li Le left, Fang Qing also pondered this matter.

Historically, Ele.me has never been publicly listed.

There are several reasons: industry and market factors, development stage and company planning, and the interruption of the independent listing path due to Alibaba's acquisition, etc.

However, in this life, Fang Qing is also confident that he can get Ele.me listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

So, if Li Le invests 50 million now, who knows how many times it will multiply in the future.

just
Why are they people like Li Le and Zhang Mingxuan?

He originally wanted Kerry Group to invest, but unfortunately Song Dahai can't make that decision now.

Let's talk about it after Song Dahai truly takes control of the Kerry Group. There will definitely be other opportunities later. Thinking of this, Fang Qingye picked up her teacup.

That evening, Fang Qingye went to sing karaoke at the Grand World, where she hung out with a few young men from Nanxincheng. Each of them hired a hostess; Xu Yunyun had gone to Shanghai, so Fang Qingye just randomly picked one.

Song Dahai also arrived. When he heard that Li Le had also decided to invest, he looked somewhat sullen and drank beer with the princess, one glass after another.

Seeing him like this, Fang Qingye told the princess beside him to leave and sat down to comfort him.

"What's wrong? What's bothering you? It's normal for everyone to have different circumstances and ideas when it comes to investing. Your dad and brother have their own considerations, and you don't need to hold a grudge about it."

"Well, it's not because of that."

"Then why are you?"

After a moment, Song Dahai said, "You don't know, when I went home and told my dad and brother about this, my brother scolded me before I could even finish my sentence. Then look at Li Le and Zhang Mingxuan, they just do what they say they want to do. As long as they do it, no one stops them. They're really awesome. What a coward."

After finishing his sentence, Song Dahai picked up his beer and drank it all in one gulp.

Ah?
Feeling the allure of having power?

"Then work hard and try to be like Li Le and the others!" Fang Qingye said, patting him on the shoulder.
