When I Saw The Returns, I Invested In My Future Wife First - Chapter 252

Chapter 252 The Subsidies Are Surging! Grab A Bargain

“That’s not the main point of my call…” Chairman Xiong was speechless.

“I’m serious, Chairman Xiong.” Luo Feng smiled. “You’re indeed very well-informed.”

“Of course. I invested in Are You Hungry after all… No… Why aren’t you anxious at all!”

“I’m anxious! I’m so anxious I’m about to die!” Luo Feng spoke slowly, his eyes on the document.

!!
Chairman Xiong, who was on the other end of the line, could tell that Luo Feng really didn’t care. Who was the boss?! He slammed the phone down.

When Luo Feng heard that there was no more sound on the phone, he did not care. He put down his phone and continued to deal with the documents.

Are You Hungry’s headquarters in Shanghai. Chairman’s office.

Zhang Chuan kept rubbing his hands like a donkey pulling a mill. He circled the office again and again with an anxious expression. From time to time, he would glance at the door and could not calm down.

After two turns, he adjusted his tie against the reflective glass.

Suddenly, there was a commotion downstairs. Zhang Chuan’s ears immediately perked up.

The young temporary worker ran into the office and said excitedly, “Chairman Zhang, Mr. Bezos is here!”

“We’ll welcome him immediately!”

Zhang Chuan could not wait to run downstairs. He excitedly welcomed Bezos, who had just stepped through the door. His heart surged with emotions, as if he was about to cry.

“Welcome! Welcome to my humble abode, Mr. Bezos.” Zhang Chuan held Bezos’ right hand with both hands.

His uncontrollable excitement made Bezos feel happy.

The reaction of the Chairman of Are You Hungry was the normal reaction anyone should have when meeting him. Luo Feng’s reaction was as calm as a frog’s. Even he almost couldn’t continue chatting.

Today, the character had changed. It was Bezos’ turn to nod at Zhang Chuan calmly.

He did not say anything and walked into the living room with a group of people surrounding him.

Unlike at Gather Sift Takeaway, Amazon’s investment was like rain after a long drought. Zhang Chuan looked forward to new investments.

Therefore, the negotiation process was quite smooth. After sitting for less than ten minutes and not even drinking two mouthfuls of tea, the investment matter was settled.

Amazon was rich and overbearing. They directly invested 100 million yuan and obtained 60% of Are You Hungry’s shares! They became Are You Hungry’s largest shareholder.

If Luo Feng was here, he would definitely shake his head regretfully.

Compared to his previous life, Are You Hungry’s valuation was greatly reduced. Are You Hungry was the largest delivery company in the country and occupied more than 30% of the country’s market.

Amazon’s 100 million yuan would definitely not be able to buy more than 60%.

However, it was different now. Are You Hungry was suppressed by Gather Sift Takeaway. Especially when they opened a second market, they had spent too much to compete with Gather Sift Takeaway.

The money from the first round of financing was almost exhausted.

Otherwise, he would not have waited for Bezos so anxiously.

After obtaining 100 million from Amazon, Zhang Chuan was already very satisfied with Are You Hungry’s valuation of 200 million.

yuan.

Unexpectedly, Bezos made additional requests.

“Director Zhang, I only have a small wish. I hope you can speed up the pace of expansion. You just have to spend money. If 100 million isn’t enough, I’ll come up with another 500 million. You must guarantee that Are You Hungry will become the best in the food delivery industry.”

The words were not implemented in the contract. It was fine to just agree to it. However, it was Bezos who said this! There was a sense of heroism in his credibility. Zhang Chuan looked at him as if he was looking at the sun. It was as if there were a myriad of rays of light behind Bezos even the savior was only so-so compared to him. “Don’t worry, Mr. Bezos!” Zhang Chuan rubbed his hands excitedly and licked his lips non-stop. “With your help, we will definitely grasp the market firmly in our hands and beat them until they can’t turn things around!” He had never been so confident ever since Are You Hungry was established. Zhang Chuan almost made a military pledge on the spot. Bezos nodded in satisfaction.

This was more like it. This positive response was the attitude of the party receiving the financing.

Every time this happened, Bezos could not help but think of Luo Feng. He thought of Luo Feng’s tactful rejection.

Bezos was not angry. After all, doing business was definitely a consensual matter. However, he was really curious and did not understand Luo Feng’s confidence in rejecting him. There would always be many hypotheses derived from this reason, which made Bezos feel frustrated.

He should not waste his brain on such meaningless things.

Thinking of this, Bezos shook his head.

“What’s wrong?” Zhang Chuan was very nervous when he saw his sugar daddy shaking his head. “Do you think there’s anything else you’re not satisfied with?”

“No… I don’t.” Bezos laughed. “Work hard. I’ll wait for the good news that you’ll stand at the peak.”

It was not that he could not see Luo Feng, but his strength was obvious! Are You Hungry had the backing of the powerful Amazon. Luo Feng was just a small individual. What could he use to fight?

The surging warpath gradually spread in the night.

A week later.

During this period of time, Luo Feng barely left the office. Someone would deliver his meals and there was also a separate bathroom in the office. His neck was stiff from reading the information, and strolling in front of the window to relax his eyes was his only way to rest. “Boss, bad news!”

Cui Kun rushed in anxiously from outside.

Luo Feng looked up at him. “What’s wrong?”

“Are You Hungry… Are You Hungry and the others… They!” Cui Kun was so anxious that he almost bit his tongue off.

“Calm down. What did they do?”

“Their subsidies are crazy!” Luo Feng reacted for two to three seconds before sitting back in front of the computer and opening Are You Hungry’s webpage. The most eye-catching part of the webpage was a window. He could see it at first glance. [I’ll treat you to a takeout! 10 yuan off orders 20 yuan and above! 15 yuan off orders 30 yuan and above!]

Luo Feng could not bear to be surprised when he saw this true slogan. It was no wonder Cui Kun was so flustered that he could not finish his sentence.

The discount was indeed huge! Not to mention consumers, even the employees of Juyi Company were itching to order the right takeaway when they saw that they could eat takeaway at half price. The temptation was too great, let alone customers. Gather Sift Takeaway might give better benefits to merchants and delivery men, but they were here to earn money. If there were more customers using Are You Hungry than gathering food one day, it would be normal for them to change sides.

“Boss, what should we do now?” Cui Kun asked worriedly.

Just as Luo Feng was deep in thought, the phone on the table suddenly rang. Zishan’s Chairman Xiong was like a clock that could always call at the right time.

“Did you see Are You Hungry’s half-price event?” Chairman Xiong went straight to the point. “I heard that Bezos directly promised 500 million yuan and won both markets.”

Chairman Xiong’s information was naturally very reliable.

There was only one meaning in his words— Luo Feng, this wouldn’t have happened if you had just accepted the investment back then!
