The second contract really startled her.
The pre-investment valuation was directly raised to 60 million yuan, with a 40 million yuan investment in the Series A round.
The post-investment valuation of the company was 100 million yuan, with the shareholding ratio as follows: Tang Song (58%), Xie Shuyu (42%).
Likewise, there were no additional terms.
However, she went from being the controlling shareholder to the second shareholder, losing control of the company.
At the same time, her net worth skyrocketed, with the company’s cash flow increasing by 40 million yuan.
As a company owner, she knew all too well what 40 million yuan in cash meant.
Many billionaires cannot even come up with that amount.
She could choose to open more stores in more cities or regions, or even directly enter first-tier cities.
Do marketing, upgrade the brand, optimize products...
Initially, her plan was to start with some communities and retail stores in Yan City, while enriching the product line.
But with such ample cash flow, she could implement all her plans at once in a short period of time.
Moreover, in real business operations, bank loans are also a very important support.
With major financial support, they could reasonably use financial leverage to mobilize more funds and accelerate the company’s development.
However, going further was somewhat beyond her capabilities, and if it went wrong, it would be irreparable.
They needed to cooperate with more powerful consulting companies and hire more outstanding talents.
And with Tang Song’s demonstrated courage and ability, he should be able to back himself up!
Xie Shuyu’s heart pounded violently.
Many thoughts she dared not imagine before came flocking in.
She suddenly recalled what Tang Song said that night.
[And I can help you achieve that]
National chain, coexistence of various store types, cooperation with famous IPs, establishing their own supply chain system, or even having their own coffee factory...
Thinking of this, even the always calm and wise Xie Shuyu became somewhat restless, her chest heaving under her undershirt.
Xie Shuyu’s face tensed as she said, "Excuse me, I need to make a phone call."
"Alright, President Xie, no rush." Liu Zhengping nodded with a smile.
Walking out of the meeting room, Xie Shuyu found a quiet corner and dialed Tang Song’s number.
The phone rang for quite a while before it was finally answered.
Tang Song’s pleasant voice came through the receiver: "Hello, Sister Shuyu, is this about the investment agreement?"
Xie Shuyu pursed her red lips and said softly, "Yes, I want to ask, are you serious about the B plan you gave?"
"Of course, so, have you made up your mind?"
"The valuation is too high, you are at a disadvantage."
"So, will you refuse?"
Xie Shuyu’s gaze changed dramatically, and she said with difficulty, "No."
Faced with such a rare opportunity, she, who saw her career as her life goal, simply could not refuse.
Even knowing she was taking advantage of Tang Song.
"Haha." Tang Song chuckled lightly and said softly, "Did you miss me, Sister Shuyu?"
"Mm." Xie Shuyu’s lips moved slightly, her expression somewhat unnatural.
She was unaccustomed to discussing business and suddenly getting into romantic feelings.
Xie Shuyu’s eye twitched, "I am currently discussing agreements here at Gathering Emotion Gold, it’s not convenient."
"I’m also very busy, if you don’t kiss me, I’ll hang up."
"Wait!" Xie Shuyu took a deep breath, paused for a moment, and then kissed the phone with a feeling of shame.
"So sweet." Tang Song’s voice was full of joy.
"Tang Song, you... why are you talking like that." Xie Shuyu bit her lip, a thin layer of red appearing on her face, feeling incredibly awkward.
Although it seemed he was forcing her, she felt both ashamed and embarrassed inside, yet couldn’t help but feel a bit of unspeakable excitement.
"Alright, Sister Shuyu, if you have no objections to the investment agreement, then confirm it." Tang Song’s voice became serious, "We can later make provisions in the company charter to ensure you have control over the company."
Hearing his promise, Xie Shuyu exhaled lightly, feeling somewhat moved.
Although she had a favorable impression of Tang Song, after all, they were just starting.
For her, this hard-earned career was more important than emotions.
"Tang Song, thank you for your understanding and tolerance, it’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s just..."
"I understand, Sister Shuyu, you don’t need to explain. Glimmer Coffee is your cherished creation, all I want to do is help you achieve your life’s goal."
Hearing his gentle words, Xie Shuyu’s red lips trembled slightly, her heart filled with a strong warm current, "When you come back from your business trip, come over to my place, I’ll cook you a meal."
"Great! I’ve never tasted your cooking, I’m looking forward to it."
"Mm, be safe in Shen City, and if you need any help, just let me know, I have quite a few classmates and friends there."
"Alright, thank you, Sister Shuyu." Tang Song laughed and kissed the phone.
He hung up the phone.
Xie Shuyu rubbed her warm cheeks, stood there dazed for a moment before heading back to the meeting room.
She wanted very much to completely separate work and feelings, but faced with Tang Song’s "wealth" and emotional offensive, she eventually crossed the line.
This was an unprecedented feeling.
Like being... conquered.
Originally she thought the relationship between her and Tang Song would be a game with reciprocal moves.
But now it seemed that things were somewhat beyond her expectations.
At 11:30 in the morning, the meeting room door was gently pushed open.
"Thank you both for your troubles."
"You’re welcome, President Xie, I’ll see you out."
