Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Can't Let Others Get Ahead
"You..." Liu Yujuan pointed at Zhao Yulu, at a loss for words.
To not go, how could she not go? What would they do about life afterward?
Would she really have to sell the car and watch she just bought?
That's not possible!
How could the things she bought be sold off?
"Alright, don't say anything more. I have my own judgment. You go cook, I'm hungry," Zhao Yulu said.
"Okay, okay, I'll go cook. As long as you agree to meet Xu Yang, that'll be enough," Liu Yujuan didn't dare to say more.
If Zhao Yulu really didn't go, she would have been on the verge of tears.
...
Xu Yang picked up Zhao Yuxin from work.
After dining out, they went shopping.
Zhao Yuxin said she ran out of cosmetics and wanted to buy a new set.
They bought a set of Dior cosmetics, spending one hundred and thirty thousand.
Initially, Zhao Yuxin didn't want to buy something so expensive, but Xu Yang insisted on purchasing it for her.
He said that since they had money now, he wanted his wife to use the best products.
While paying, a notification from the system echoed in Xu Yang's mind.
[Ding! Qianjiao Cosmetics Company needs financing to escape its predicament. In three days, the company will receive an investment. With this investment, the company will successfully develop a cosmetic product with special skin whitening effects.
In the future, it will continue to develop a variety of highly effective skincare products, eventually growing into a cosmetics empire with a market value of hundreds of billions!]
Xu Yang's eyes lit up.
Just by going out with his wife to buy cosmetics, an investment opportunity had fallen into his lap.
When they returned home,
Xu Yang didn't immediately look into it. He was a bit tired from walking around while shopping.
After all, there was no rush. The investment wouldn't happen until three days later.
As long as he invested within three days, it would be fine. It could wait until tomorrow.
The next day, after breakfast, Zhao Yuxin went to work.
Xu Yang stayed at home, turned on the computer, and looked up Qianjiao Company.
Qianjiao Company was based in Zhucheng and was a medium-sized cosmetics company.
The products they produced were all popular skincare products.
No matter what, any information provided by the system was worth investing in—another future billion-dollar enterprise waiting for his investment.
It was the same routine as before: call to arrange a visit, bring the legal and financial teams to do a cursory inspection, and then directly invest.
However, this time, should he get Wang Xiaocong and others to invest as well?
He would first inquire about how much financing Qianjiao Company needed.
Xu Yang picked up his phone, ready to dial Qianjiao Company's number, when his phone rang first.
Looking at the caller ID, it was Tang Zhengqi who was calling.
It had been quite a while since the two of them had been in touch.
Since the celebration banquet for "War Leopard," they hadn't had any contact.
"Brother Tang," Xu Yang answered the call.
"Young Xu, I hope I'm not disturbing you with this call?"
Tang Zhengqi's attitude toward Xu Yang had changed.
Now, Xu Yang's status and identity were much higher than before.
Not to mention the development of Jiang Di Lao, Tang knew that Xu Yang had formed brotherly relations with Wang Xiaocong and others.
This status made him much higher than Tang in an instant.
Originally, he had prepared himself to address Xu Yang as "President Xu" when he made the call.
But hearing Xu Yang still call him "big bro," he felt quite comforted, and continued to address Xu Yang as "little bro."
"Big bro Tang, why are you being so formal with me, what's this about bothering or not bothering?" Xu Yang said with a laugh.
"Yes, yes, it's my fault, haha." Tang Zhengqi returned to the casual manner he'd always used with Xu Yang, knowing Xu Yang was not the type to forget his old friends once he climbed to a higher position.
"Big bro Tang, are you calling me for something?" Xu Yang asked proactively.
He knew why Tang Zhengqi had said what he did just now.
Xu Yang had a very good impression of Tang Zhengqi and considered him a friend worth making.
When it came to friends, no matter how high he climbed, his attitude remained the same.
It was not something that changed with status or identity.
"Little bro Xu, it's like this, recently a friend approached me to invest in a company, and I'm quite tempted to join in. I was wondering if you might be interested in investing together?" Tang Zhengqi said.
If Xu Yang was interested in investing together, that would be fantastic.
He had not the slightest doubt about Xu Yang's eye for investment.
Every single investment Xu Yang made had yielded astonishing returns.
"Oh? Which company is it?" Xu Yang asked.
"It's a beauty company called Qianjiao Company, based in Zhucheng. From the information I've gathered, I think it's a good opportunity," Tang Zhengqi replied.
"Qianjiao Company!" Xu Yang exclaimed.
He hadn't expected such a coincidence, that Tang Zhengqi was also interested in investing in Qianjiao Company.
"Little bro Xu, from the sound of your voice, you've heard of this company?" Tang Zhengqi asked.
"I've been researching this company's information and find that it really is a good investment prospect; it's investable," Xu Yang replied.
"Really? So, little bro Xu, will you join in on the investment?" Tang Zhengqi said excitedly.
"I'm preparing to invest. I was about to call the other party to ask how much they are looking to raise. Since you're ready to invest, did you get all the details?" Xu Yang asked.
"I got the details. Qianjiao Company is looking to raise ten billion yuan, offering forty percent of the shares," Tang Zhengqi replied.
"How many investors do you have, and how much are you thinking of investing?" Xu Yang inquired.
"Little bro Xu, we have a total of five investors, each able to contribute one billion, which makes five billion in total, giving us twenty percent of the shares. Since you're interested in investing and have strong financial capabilities, why don't you take the remaining twenty percent?" Tang Zhengqi suggested.
"No problem, I'll take the remaining twenty percent," Xu Yang agreed without hesitation.
"That's great! When will you be available? I'll contact Qianjiao Company right away," Tang Zhengqi said excitedly.
With Xu Yang joining the investment, it was nearly guaranteed to be a sure success.
"Let's go tomorrow, the sooner the better for this matter," Xu Yang replied.
"Alright, I'll call Qianjiao Company right now," Tang Zhengqi said.
"Good, I'll wait for your update," Xu Yang responded.
The call ended.
About fifteen minutes later, Tang Zhengqi called again.
"Big bro Tang, is it confirmed?" Xu Yang asked.
"It's confirmed, we'll go over tomorrow. Moreover, they mentioned that there's already an investment institution discussing an acquisition with them," Tang Zhengqi informed.
"What!" Xu Yang was shocked. Qianjiao Company was the future beauty empire worth hundreds of billions; he couldn't let someone else beat him to it, "Which investment institution is it?"
Tang Zhengqi replied, "You should know them; it's Triumph Capital. I remember they acquired Jia Sheng Guild before. The son of the boss, Chen Ankang, even bribed a female broadcaster to slander you."
Xu Yang narrowed his eyes, "Who's in charge of Triumph Capital now, do you know?"
Tang Zhengqi replied, "I just checked, and it's Chen Ankang's son, Chen Guanglei, who's in charge."
He had taken fifteen minutes to return Xu Yang's call because he had gone to look up information on Triumph Capital.
He knew that since Triumph Capital was interested in investing in Qianjiao Company, Xu Yang would definitely ask about it.
