The first two require time, while the latter's current strength is clearly insufficient.
Could it be…
Ye Yun's eyes lit up.
A news report about the Ying Tian Group from his past life suddenly flashed through his mind…
"Is the Ying Tian Group planning to develop in the new real estate direction of nursing homes now?"
Song Yunfan looked at Ye Yun in surprise and nodded.
"Indeed, nothing can be hidden from Brother Ye. That's right! Although we don't see as far as Brother Ye, and we don't know why you're so confident about future development, we are indeed preparing to acquire some land and do some business in the nursing home sector."
Nursing homes, elderly care homes.
The names might differ, but the core concept remains the same.
"It doesn't need to be this complicated. In fact, if operated well, we can recoup our funds very quickly!" Ye Yun said with a smile.
"Ah? Brother Ye, what do you mean by recouping funds quickly?"
As soon as Ye Yun spoke, all three of them were dumbfounded.
What was going on?
Didn't you just say it yourself?
This is the trend of social development, with the mainstream being those born in the 80s and 90s, and even some from the 70s.
These people are still at least ten to twenty years away from needing a nursing home.
And now you're saying you can recoup funds quickly.
Are you joking?
Ye Yun chuckled.
"First, I want to clarify a direction for you. Generally, nursing homes don't require very bustling areas. On the contrary, they only need places with relatively beautiful scenery. And these places are likely to be in the suburbs, so the initial cost doesn't need to be high."
"Second, market share. Capitalists value market share. They don't care if you're profitable; as long as you have a high market share and development potential, it's a good project! Currently, most nursing homes in China are small-scale operations. As long as we invest capital upfront, we can quickly capture a large portion of the market."
"Third, once Yao Ke Group begins to make a name for itself in China, there will be no shortage of venture capital for me, Ye Yun. At that time, they will also offer us additional angel round investment plans. By then, we can say we can get as much money as we want."
Ye Yun explained slowly.
Upon hearing this, all three nodded in agreement.
Angel round investment, in essence, is not an investment in a project, but in the investor.
They invest in you as a person. Whatever you do, they will invest.
And if Yao Ke Group truly manages to carve out a path in the pharmaceutical industry as Ye Yun predicted, securing angel round investment would be a sure thing.
Do not underestimate capital. Capital is not short of money.
At least the three of them knew that the top five capital firms in China were involved in countless industries and possessed terrifying amounts of funds!
"Brother Ye, do you have a business plan? Can you give me one? Or perhaps you could think about writing one?" Song Yunfan pondered for a moment and asked.
"No need to think, and no need to write!" Ye Yun shook his head. "If you really want to cooperate with me, invest two hundred million each. There's no business plan. You don't need to know what I'll do with this two hundred million, but afterwards, I can give each of you two-ten-thousandths of the shares in Yao Ke Group."
Hearing this, let alone Zhao Yuanyang, even Lin Shiyou and Song Yunfan were stunned.
Four hundred million for merely four ten-thousandths of the shares?
For a company valued in the trillions?
"You can think about it carefully and give me a definitive answer later."
Ye Yun shrugged, not intending to leave them too much time.
In fact, if they truly invested, Ye Yun was confident that their investment would double in a short period.
Lin Shiyou and Song Yunfan exchanged glances and, with almost no hesitation, said, "Brother Ye, we'll give you the money later! We agree to these terms!"
On the other side, Zhao Yuanyang was somewhat troubled.
He had been active in the business world for many years and had participated in countless business collaborations and negotiations.
Yet, this was the first time he had encountered someone like Ye Yun.
Four hundred million for four ten-thousandths of the shares, no one would believe it if he said it!
Considering that Tencent, the largest company in China, is only valued at 4 trillion!
And this is an investment of four hundred million!
With such a large investment, it would be considered a profit if it at least doubled.
In other words, only when Ye Yun's company exceeds a valuation of 2 trillion would it be considered a successful investment.
A company valued over two trillion?
More than three hundred billion US dollars?
Counting on one's fingers, there are only a few such companies globally!
Even if he trusted Ye Yun immensely, he wouldn't gamble with money!
Even though he had made over a hundred million from Ye Yun.
Even though he had heard many strange stories about Ye Yun.
Business is business. If he acted so impulsively, the Yuanyang Group wouldn't have reached its current level.
The reason he listened to Ye Yun during their two meetings was entirely because he was in an invincible position.
The first time, Yuanyang Group signed an oil contract with Ye Yun.
Regardless of profit or loss, he naturally earned a five percent commission from Ye Yun, totaling 15 million!
As for buying three hundred million worth of crude oil himself, since Yuanyang Group needed it for producing xylene, it was merely stocking up.
The second time was today's complete factory shutdown.
The maximum loss for shutting down the entire factory would be twenty million.
But if a major safety accident occurred as Ye Yun predicted, it would be far more than tens of twenty millions.
In any case, he had already profited over a hundred million from Ye Yun, so considering it as a paid holiday for the workers, there was no loss.
In business, it's business.
Asking him to be like those two lunatics, Lin Shiyou and Song Yunfan, and invest two hundred million for a two-ten-thousandths stake in a newly established small company, was definitely out of the question.
No matter how much he thought of Ye Yun, the other party could at best reach a scale similar to Yuanyang Group.
Did he really think the other party could reach the level of Alibaba or Tencent?
What a joke!
Of course, Ye Yun could see through Zhao Yuanyang's thoughts.
He didn't mind it at all.
If it were him, he wouldn't believe it either, being in a different position.
Seeing Zhao Yuanyang's inaction, Ye Yun glanced at his watch.
It was three in the afternoon.
"Alright, there's still enough time this afternoon. Let's not waste any more time. Yunfan, Shiyou, you can arrange for the finance department to transfer the money. To be honest, I've been very busy lately."
Ye Yun looked at Lin Shiyou and the other again, smiling.
"It's good to be busy. It's good," the two understood Ye Yun's meaning and immediately stood up. "Brother Ye, don't worry. We'll arrange for someone to transfer the money to you this afternoon. Please provide your corporate account. We can discuss the equity transfer agreement later, and even do it tomorrow. It would be best if you could bring a lawyer, so the process can be quicker."
"Okay, I'll send you the account number later."
Ye Yun nodded.
With the three certificates in one now, and with Elder Wang's prior arrangements, the process would be very fast.
