Chapter 70: 80 Million in Investment Capital!

The next morning.

Tang Ye received a call from Hong Yu.

Hong Yu's tone was somewhat regretful yet somewhat fortunate, "I told my partner that because of a special situation at home, I had to withdraw my capital. The partner then returned the money to me. If there are any industries suitable for investment, I hope you can help introduce one."

Tang Ye was not very close with Hong Yu and did not expect her to take the initiative to contact him.

Considering she was Hong Ruilin's granddaughter, Tang Ye naturally still wanted to help where he could.

"Sure, if there's something suitable, I'll definitely pull you in."

"When you have time, I'd like to treat you to a meal to thank you in person."

"There's no need to be so polite!" Tang Ye mused that Hong Yu had changed quite a bit, "Find a suitable time, and I'll treat you instead!"

"Who treats isn't important; the main thing is wanting to learn from you and find ways to make money." Hong Yu spoke very directly.

If it were anyone else, Tang Ye would never have bothered.

But, who let Hong Yu be Hong Ruilin's granddaughter?

After hanging up on Tang Ye, Hong Yu let out a soft breath.

After the investor returned the funds to her, not even an hour had passed before news of the resort being built in Pinghu spread through Jinshui Town!

The investor called Hong Yu directly, questioning her about whether she had received wind of it in advance.

Hong Yu naturally would not tell the truth.

First, this business was originally the investor pulling her in; she had been hesitant at the time, mainly because the investor felt that Hong Yu's husband, Song Jin, was the Secretary of the County Youth League Committee, and running an inn in the future with an official background could avoid quite a bit of trouble.

Second, doing business requires keen insight; the investor did not understand policy well enough, and collaborating with him carried too much risk.

Third, the relationship with the investor was originally just each taking what they needed, with no real friendship; even husbands and wives fly apart when disaster strikes, let alone partners who only came together for profit?

Hong Yu had originally thought it strange that Song Jin was getting so close to Tang Ye, but looking at this matter, Tang Ye had done her a huge favor; otherwise, this capital would likely have been thrown into the water.

Hearing that Gu Wenqin had made the clothing factory thrive under Tang Ye's help, Hong Yu felt quite envious.

Gu Wenqin no longer had any relationship with the Hong family.

If it were for Hong Ruilin's sake, Tang Ye should have taken the initiative to help her.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Ye attended the party and government regular meeting.

At the meeting, Wang Kaicheng cast goodwill toward him, and as for Cao Debiao, he also changed his attitude, crazily trying to curry favor with him.

In fact, the official career was not as dangerous as imagined.

When one demonstrates excellent ability and becomes a recognized powerhouse, the partners around them will become more numerous, and enemies will become fewer.

Although Wei Jian had the intention of cultivating Wang Kaicheng as his agent in Pinghu, hinting that as long as he followed his instructions, he would absolutely focus on cultivating Wang Kaicheng.

But, Wang Kaicheng still decided that while feigning compliance with Chen Zhihua, he would maintain a good relationship with Tang Ye.

The meeting ended.

Tang Ye rushed to Qinge Clothing Factory.

Half an hour later, Sun Hai drove into the factory area.

Behind him followed a BMW sedan.

After the car came to a stop, the assistant opened the rear door.

The major client from Yunhai, Qi Meiyu, stepped out.

Qi Meiyu's appearance was above average; she was tall, and wearing high heels, she was even slightly taller than Sun Hai.

Her taste in clothing was excellent; although it was professional attire, she achieved perfect coordination in the details, making her whole person seem as if plated with a layer of gold, shining brightly.

Qi Meiyu's features were of the type that grew on you; at first glance, there was some coldness, but a closer look revealed them to be very exquisite.

On the upper part of her right cheekbone, there was a small beauty mark, making her whole face look very high-class.

Gu Wenqin led everyone to greet her.

Qi Meiyu recognized Gu Wenqin at a glance from the crowd, "Manager Gu, hello! It's so nice to meet you."

Gu Wenqin's almond eyes rippled, her pretty face wearing a smile.

Her long, jet-black hair draped over her snow-white shoulders. On her fair neck, she wore an exquisite necklace, making her appear even more charming and moving.

Gu Wenqin shook hands with Qi Meiyu and introduced the others to her, "Manager Gu, this is Town Mayor Tang. Our clothing factory's successful transformation and the introduction of E-commerce are all thanks to his encouragement and support."

A look of appreciation appeared in Qi Meiyu's eyes, and she took the initiative to reach out, "Town Mayor Tang, you are remarkable. It is said that you are also the Chief Designer for Qinge."

Tang Ye glanced at Sun Hai.

That kid avoided his gaze.

Tang Ye gave a wry smile, "I wouldn't call myself a designer; I just gave a few ideas. It's still because Manager Gu has the intuition and patience that we were able to make such good products."

Qi Meiyu smiled, "In this era, creativity is very important. Manager Gu, your products possess strong competitiveness, mainly relying on creativity; otherwise, it would be difficult to stand out in the overseas market."

Tang Ye instantly held a high opinion of Qi Meiyu in his heart.

This woman saw the highlights of the product at a glance, which showed her vision was not low.

Next, Gu Wenqin took Qi Meiyu to tour the factory.

Qi Meiyu was quite surprised; it was hard to imagine that in such a remote place, there would be an orderly, vibrant, and combative enterprise.

Qinge was not large, and could even be described as small, but Qinge possessed the foundation and potential to grow big and strong.

Inside the conference room.

Gu Wenqin took the samples and gave a professional recommendation.

Qi Meiyu's attention was drawn by the samples; although her expression did not reveal her emotions, it was clear she was very interested.

The product recommendation ended.

Qi Meiyu took a proposal out of her bag and handed it to Gu Wenqin.

"Manager Gu, this field trip, besides wanting to see Qinge's production line, was also to get to know you. Just as I imagined, you are an exceptionally outstanding female entrepreneur. This proposal is my objective; I hope to cooperate further with Qinge. I am willing to invest capital and buy shares in Qinge. Qinge possesses very good products; if they undergo 【redacted】, they can become an excellent domestic lingerie brand."

Sun Hai's eyes darted around.

Gu Wenqin seemed lost in thought.

Tang Ye realized what was happening, his eyes clear.

Qi Meiyu had a strong interest in Qin Ge.

It was called an investigation, but in reality, she wanted to acquire Qin Ge.

Gu Wenqin handed the proposal to Tang Ye.

Qi Meiyu noticed this detail and realized that whether this cooperation could be facilitated depended on Tang Ye.

She had looked into the equity structure of Qin Ge.

The largest shareholder was Gu Wenqin, followed by Sun Hai and Qin Lan.

If she guessed correctly, "Qin Lan" was Tang Ye's Acting Chief identity.

The investment capital was 80 million, determined based on Qin Ge's current sales data.

This was a very difficult choice.

With this capital, Qin Ge would not lack funds to expand its scale and would have even broader development prospects.

However, capital is a double-edged sword, and the Investment Agreement must contain hidden traps.

"President Qi, thank you for your recognition of Qin Ge. The terms you offered are very tempting. However, cooperation requires considering many things; please allow us to think it over further. It's getting late, let's go have a meal together."

Tang Ye expressed his thoughts tactfully.

——A refusal!

Qi Meiyu was quite surprised internally; she had not expected that 80 million in investment capital would fail to sway Tang Ye at all.

In Tang Ye's view, let alone 80 million, the potential value of Qin Ge should at least be twenty times higher!
