Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!
Chapter 182: Chapter 182: Finalizing the Investment

"Great, I'll take you to the company tomorrow," Zhou Wenyao said excitedly.

Once he learned of Xu Yang's identity, as both the owner of Fengcai Guild and an investment company that had invested in several enterprises, he had intended to inquire whether Xu Yang was interested in investing in the Mei Yi Group.

He planned to casually bring it up during their chat after dinner.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yang took the initiative to mention it.

This was really too good.

If he successfully resolved this issue, he would definitely receive praise from his superiors and might even advance further.

Recently, the director's position was vacant, and many eyes were on it.

Many people were guessing that the leadership would observe who could solve the problems of Mei Yi Group before deciding who would take on the role of director.

Zhou Wenyao shared this speculation.

If it were so, solving the Mei Yi Group problem would certainly elevate him to the position of director.

His rank would then be different, jumping over a large step at once.

This was a rare opportunity.

After the meal came casual conversation.

Xu Yang took the opportunity to check out Ye Shanshan's Douyin and felt it was not bad, a candidate for signing.

If it were based on standard applications, the chances of signing her would be slim.

After all, too many livestreamers wanted to join the Fengcai Guild these days.

For someone small like Ye Shanshan, the company wasn't very interested.

But with Zhou Ruyan's connection, putting a bit more effort into Ye Shanshan, she could still be cultivated.

In the afternoon, after three o'clock, Ye Shanshan and Yu Xiuhui came over again.

"President Xu, did you watch my Douyin? What do you think?"

Ye Shanshan looked eagerly at Xu Yang, waiting for an answer.

"Your videos are pretty good, lighthearted and humorous, and you're sweet and cute—just the type many people like to watch. However, if you want to become an internet celebrity with millions of followers, you'll need some adjustments. I'll have the company provide you with professional training. You need to come to Jiangcheng for a half-month's training, are you willing?" Xu Yang said with a smile.

"Willing, of course I'm willing," Ye Shanshan nodded excitedly.

You can't buy professional training even if you tried, so how could she be unwilling?

"Good, then it's settled. Get ready these few days, and when the time comes, you'll come back to Jiangcheng with us, and I'll have the company arrange your training," Xu Yang said.

"That's great, thank you President Xu!" Ye Shanshan jumped up happily, waving her arms.

"President Xu, thank you so much," Yu Xiuhui was also very happy, her granddaughter's issue was finally resolved.

In fact, she had opposed her granddaughter becoming an internet celebrity, but since her granddaughter insisted on pursuing it, she felt powerless to object.

But recently, her granddaughter faced a bottleneck, saying that only by joining a guild and receiving professional packaging and training could she improve.

She chose Fengcai Guild, but her application wasn't successful.

Now that the problem was resolved, there was nothing to worry about.

With Zhou Ruyan's relationship in the picture, there was no concern about poor development.

After a bit more chat, the two left.

The next day.

In the morning, Xu Yang and Zhou Wenyao went to Mei Yi Group.

At the entrance of Mei Yi Group.

Mei Yi Group's chairman, Wei Hailin, together with the company's executives, waited expectantly.

Yesterday afternoon, Zhou Wenyao had called him, saying he found an investor who would come for an inspection today, and if the company had no issues, they would invest; he was asked to prepare well.

And prepare he did. With half an hour to go before the scheduled time, he, alongside his executives, stood at the entrance, waiting.

"This is President Xu of Yang Xin Investment, who is also the owner of Fengcai Guild and Jiang Di Lao," Zhou Wenyao introduced.

Not many people know about Yang Xin Investment.

But Fengcai Guild and Jiang Di Lao are famous names.

Especially Jiang Di Lao, which is basically a household name now.

And it has already spread that Jiang Di Lao has expanded into second-tier cities.

Within this year, the Jiang Di Lao in the capital city will open for business.

You should know that people in the capital city like hot pot even more and are eagerly awaiting the arrival of Jiang Di Lao.

"President Xu, hello," Wei Hailin came over and warmly shook Xu Yang's hand.

After exchanging a few simple pleasantries, they entered the company.

First, they listened to Wei Hailin briefly introducing the company's situation, and then he took Xu Yang around the company. They visited key departments like the design department and the operations department, and also went to see the production workshop.

Everything was quite satisfactory.

Today Xu Yang came alone, he didn't even bring Zhao Yuxin with him.

As for the legal and financial audits, those were temporarily not done.

Wei Hailin said there would be no problems, and naturally, he wouldn't invest if any issues were discovered later.

However, since the information was provided by the system, it was definitely reliable; it was merely a formality.

Finally, they returned to the meeting room and started the final negotiations.

"President Wei, how much funding are you looking to raise?" Xu Yang asked proactively.

This question he had already asked Zhou Wenyao, who said it would be at least five hundred million.

But Zhou Wenyao was, after all, an official representative, and he mentioned 'at least,' so it was necessary to ask Wei Hailin, the person in charge of the enterprise.

"President Xu, I won't hide it from you, we need at least five hundred million to get through the tough times. If you are willing to invest more, I hope it could be eight hundred million. With that amount, things will be more comfortable, and it will give us more buffer time to formulate our next development plans more calmly," Wei Hailin spoke honestly.

"Alright, no problem, I agree to invest, but not by myself. I want to bring together other people to invest. I'll make another trip within a week with other investors. Then, I will bring the legal and financial teams to check all accounts," Xu Yang said.

He could invest by himself, as he had the money; Fengcai Guild and Jiang Di Lao were very profitable, and he had the capacity to come up with the funds.

But he didn't want to hog the opportunity all to himself; he thought it wise to share some with others to help cement networking relationships.

Everyone earning money together was the best way to ensure his path would remain steady and stretch further.

"That's no problem," Wei Hailin said joyfully.

They could wait a week.

So like that, the investment was settled.

With Wei Hailin escorting them personally, Xu Yang and Zhou Wenyao left.

On the way back, Zhou Wenyao said, "President Xu Yang, thank you. You've solved a big problem for our Capital City."

Xu Yang waved his hand, "I am optimistic about the development of Mei Yi Group. This will be a profitable investment, a win-win situation, so no need for thanks."

By the time they returned to Zhou's house, it was already noon.

After eating, Xu Yang opened the WeChat group with Wang Xiaocong and the other two, and sent out a message.

Xu Yang: I visited a company today and think it's worth investing in. Wanted to ask you guys if you want in on it?

Wang Xiaocong: Holy shit, you've found another investment project? If you think it's worth investing, then it's a must. Let me tell you, we just acquired a rights company and threw in one and a half billion together, now we're crazily acquiring rights.

Jiang Yuheng: Xu Yang, no question about it, I'm following your lead. Whatever you think is worth investing in, I'm in.

Su Wenbin: Same here.

Wang Xiaocong: What company is it?

Xu Yang: A clothing company. If you guys are interested in investing, come to Capital City tomorrow.
