Chapter 421 A Kiss Worth a Fortune

After the nighttime outing, both Xuan Tong and Zhang Haitang were called in for a talk by their counselor.

No one knows what they talked about.

After returning from the Mid-Autumn Festival, I heard that Zhang Haitang had been taken home by her parents to recuperate.

He returned half a month later, his hair had grown a bit, and he had become much more low-key.

Only Xuan Tong remained unchanged; he was the same before and after the Night Tour incident.

Bai Lu and Shang Chuyao had no grudges against Xuan Tong, and Xuan Tong had never been seen getting close to any of his classmates.

I'll just keep this to myself for now.

Upon seeing Xuan Tong's uncharacteristically smiling face, Bai Lu felt a chill run down her spine for no apparent reason.

Shang Chuyao, however, acted as if nothing had happened and put on a standard smile, saying, "Yes."

After saying that, he pulled Bai Lu away.

The big shot was getting impatient waiting at the top of the stairs.

If we don't leave now, they'll turn back and arrest us.

During meals.

Xiao Cheng briefly outlined the fruit factory's profits for this quarter, its goals for next quarter, its new operational direction, its analysis of future market trends, and its future distribution strategy.

Investors have the right to dividends, the right to know about the company's or factory's operations, the right to make decisions, the right to participate in shareholders' meetings, and the right to vote, etc.

After listening attentively, Shang Chuyao had no objections: "You can decide. I'm still learning, so I won't interfere with the operations. Just provide the corresponding dividends each quarter. We'll look at the financial reports and annual summaries when we go to your house for your wedding the day after tomorrow."

Shang Chuyao had complete confidence in Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu's business acumen.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have spent five million so readily.

Of course, she herself didn't have that much money.

When school started, Shang Chuyao's parents gave her an investment fund of 800,000 yuan, and with her own savings, she only had 2 million yuan.

The other three million was "borrowed" by Shang Chuyao from her father.

Such a large sum of money, lent to a freshman who has just entered university and has zero business experience to try his hand at business, was something that Shang Chuyao's father and mother both strongly disagreed with.

Worried that Yao Yao, a newbie to the business world, might be scammed, the two parents spent three hours on the phone, anxiously questioning her about which listed company the investment target was.

What are the prospects? What is the internal structure? Which industry is it in? Is it a domestic or foreign-invested enterprise?

What social class does the boss belong to? Is there a cost to make mistakes? Does the boss have the ability to turn the tide?

Shang Chuyao avoided the main issues, briefly introducing the background of the investment target before dropping a bombshell.

"I brought out the jade disc-shaped purple clay teapot from the rosewood shelf in my study. I wonder how much it's worth."

Mr. Shang was so angry that he immediately sent people to arrest her and take the jade disc and purple clay teapot home.

Shang Chuyao turned around and cried to her mother about how dangerous the outside world was, how difficult her life was, how hard she studied, and how her parents abandoned her and raised her like a wild child...

Overwhelmed with love for her daughter, Shang's mother couldn't bear to see her suffer so much. She immediately disregarded any talk of hardship and, with money and bodyguards, went to Guangdong Province to find Shang Chuyao.

He took the opportunity to learn more about the investment targets from Shang Chuyao, and was eventually persuaded by his beloved daughter Yaoyao and the investment prospects.

I brought the jade-patterned purple clay teapot home and had a heated discussion with Mr. Shang.

The content of the discussion was something Shang Chuyao didn't need to know.

In conclusion, Shang Chuyao successfully became a sugar daddy, and with a generous gesture, she invested five million in the fruit factory established by Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu.

As for operations, Shang Chuyao is still in the learning stage, so I won't interfere to avoid making things worse.

After spending time together and conducting on-site inspections during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shang Chuyao felt very reassured about Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu.

Of the many rights of investors, she only exercises the right to dividends and the right to know; the others are not being considered for the time being.

The establishment of the company requires a large amount of registered capital, and the large machines and production lines of the fruit factory also require a large investment. Therefore, after discussing with Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu, they decided to open the factory first, and then establish the company later when the capital chain is stable.

Whether it's the factory or the company, Shang Chuyao, as one of the major investors, enjoys equal rights.

Dividends were also distributed in advance using the company's shareholding system.

The other two major shareholders are undoubtedly the boss, Xiao Cheng, and his wife, Bai Lu.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiao Cheng said that three months was indeed enough time.

With fruit trading, the export of electric chestnut roasting machines, and fifteen chain appliance stores in surrounding counties, the combined sales revenue has resulted in an astonishing cash reserve.

But in fact, according to premarital property terms, it was Xiao Cheng's money alone.

It has nothing to do with White Dew.

Bai Lu invested using her own savings, making her only a minor shareholder. Her share was far smaller than Xiao Cheng's and Shang Chuyao's, and they couldn't be compared.

Bai Lu didn't intend to take a large share; receiving dividends from a small share was part of her plan.

She plans to collect dividends while learning internet technology, programming, and building an online shopping platform.

Online shopping—the day e-commerce platforms were born was the day they merged with Xiao Cheng's fruit company.

It was also the day when she and Xiao Cheng were on equal footing.

Because of a clear and ongoing plan, Bailu maintained a stable mindset, remaining calm and composed.

But Xiao Cheng was anxious.

Xiao Cheng disagreed that Bai Lu was being wasted on her talents. He believed that Bai Lu was brave and resourceful, and even more intelligent than a strategist, capable of guiding him and her career and opening up clear paths for them.

Bai Lu is his other half, and together they overcome all difficulties and move towards a brighter future.

Bailu should not condescend to the position of a minor shareholder.

Therefore, on the night Shang Chuyao's investment was finalized, Xiao Cheng made a promise to Bai Lu.

"A kiss is worth a fortune."

Upon the agreement, the three major shareholders were formed.
