Yu Wanqiao felt so distressed seeing Qi Yao working so hard.

She took a blanket and covered Qi Yao with it.

Qi Yao's phone vibrated at this moment, and Yu Wanqiao took it and took a look.

It was a text message in the Iron Triangle group. Wang Fei and Huang Haoxuan heard that Qi Yao had returned and were happy to come to their house as guests.

Yu Wanqiao was a little hesitant.

On the one hand, she was very clear about Qi Yao's relationship with both of them.

On the other hand, she hoped Qi Yao could have a good sleep.

He had just returned from the United States and hadn't even adjusted to the time difference when he was hurriedly called to work at the Yu family. He hadn't rested for a whole day and a night, and even a strong body couldn't stand it!

So, for the first time, Yu Wanqiao used Qi Yao's phone to send a voice message to Wang Fei and Huang Haoxuan: "Da Fei, Haozi, I'm so sorry. Something happened at my mother's house, and Qi Yao went to help yesterday. He didn't sleep all day and all night. He fell asleep on the sofa as soon as he came back. It's noon now, let him sleep a little longer. I'll have someone prepare a small hot pot, and we can have a good gathering tonight."

Wang Fei replied quickly: "Oh, that's okay, let Big Chess have a good rest. The May Day holiday will be in two days, and we'll have plenty of time to meet."

Huang Haoxuan's silly voice also came over: "Sister Qiao, hey, actually we have something we want to discuss with you and Qi Yao. It's related to the 3+1 company."

Yu Wanqiao put down Qi Yao's phone.

She walked to another room and called Huang Haoxuan.

The call was answered quickly: "Sister Qiao!"

Yu Wanqiao: "What's the matter?"

Huang Haoxuan: "Sister Qiao, the thing is, our company's campus food delivery project has already been rolled out throughout the city, and it's already quite large. But to expand into surrounding cities and even universities nationwide, it will take time and connections. Recently, our company has also been experiencing a lot of problems."

From the early days of the business, when Meng Shasha got into trouble, to being expelled by security guards during several promotions at Jinling City University, and then when financial problems arose, they discovered that it was Lin Shuyi who had quit, and they had to call Fu Xuyang to find someone to settle the accounts again, and so on. There were indeed constant situations of all sizes.

Huang Haoxuan continued, "Besides, our brand has become popular, and many people have followed suit. We've already discovered that other classmates have partnered with us, but their scale is not as large as ours. Recently, the project manager of Tuan Duoduo Company approached Dafei and me and said they wanted to acquire us, offering a price of five million. Dafei and I didn't expect them to offer such a high price. We've only been running this business for seven months. We have to use a few hundred thousand of the five million to repay the bank loan. We..."

Yu Wanqiao shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Haozi, that's not how it's calculated. It's not that if we invest a certain amount of money and owe a certain amount of foreign debt, and the other party pays more than that, then we're making a profit. It's not like that."

Huang Haoxuan was a little confused: "What's that like?"

Yu Wanqiao said gently, "China's national conditions are that it has a large population base, and if a project is successful, others will try every possible way to imitate and copy it. For example, if a pancake vendor at the street corner makes money, in a few days the street will be full of pancake vendors."

So it's not terrible if someone imitates or copies us. What's terrible is that no matter how much they imitate us, they can never surpass us.

We need to build a strong brand, not just for delivery services, but also for other aspects of our reputation. We need to provide riders and merchants with benefits that other companies can't offer. This way, merchants are more willing to work with us, and riders are more willing to sign contracts with us. Over time, those imitators will gradually disappear."

Huang Haoxuan and Wang Fei put their ears close together and listened attentively.

Yu Wanqiao added, "They're not stupid, why would they spend 5 million to acquire us?

Because he saw a market and prospects far larger than 5 million.

Let’s not rush, let’s work for three years first.

Look at Collage and Haogoutuan, didn’t they all grow from small beginnings?

We will increase our advertising efforts later, and maybe one day we can go public?

If this were to go public, Haozi, your mother wouldn't have to toil running a chess and card parlor or selling tea anymore. Dafei, your grandparents, your parents, wouldn't have to toil cooking anymore. Your children's starting point will also be different from yours.

You are only nineteen years old. You have a great opportunity right in front of you. Don't you really want to give it a try?"

Huang Haoxuan and Wang Fei were both stunned.

Their small, shabby company's registered address is the address of the Zhenglan Group's office building. In fact, the employees never have proper studios or desks. They hold meetings either by video in the dormitory or in the school cafeteria.

Can they also go public?

Huang Haoxuan's voice trembled a little: "Sister Qiao, do you really believe that we can go public?"

Yu Wanqiao: "Who knows? But, though the road is long, if you keep walking, you will reach your destination."

The call ended.

Huang Haoxuan and Wang Fei remained silent for a long time.

Later, when the acquisition call came again, the two of them firmly refused.

Just listen to Yu Wanqiao.

Don’t ask about the future, just work for three years and see how things go. Just do it and see!

It must be said that this phone call also made Yu Wanqiao aware of this problem.

When Qi Yao woke up in the evening and the whole family was having dinner together, Yu Wanqiao told him about this matter.

In fact, the elders don’t really want the young couple to focus too much energy on the campus takeaway business.

They also hope that Yu Wanqiao will be safe and sound during her pregnancy, and that Qi Yao will forge ahead and study hard.

However, for Huang Haoxuan and Wang Fei, such an opportunity is extremely rare.

If Qi Yao and his wife choose to give up, there will be no loss in their lives.

But Huang Haoxuan and Wang Fei will miss an opportunity that may change their destiny.

So the elders chose to respect the children's wishes.

Yu Wanqiao remembered something and quickly said to Qi Yao, "Oh, right, when Qiyu was first established, you lent me over 24 million. I've already transferred 6 million to the card in our joint account."

As soon as these words were spoken, without waiting for Qi Yao to speak, Qi Zheng, Qi Xixing and Wen Dai's expressions changed, and they all said that they didn't want her to return it.

Qi Zheng: "We are all family, why bother with these things!"

Qi Xixing: "After all the calculations, it's all your joint property, Qiaoqiao. All of Xiaoyao's money belongs to you. You have the qualifications and rights to control and use it. There's no question of whether to lend it or not!"

Wen Dai: "Qiaoqiao, Mom has been exhausted recently because of starting a business. You are still pregnant, so don't worry about money. The money that doesn't exist and hasn't been paid back is all yours. Xiaoyao, you are not allowed to ask Qiaoqiao to pay it back!"

Qi Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, feeling very wronged: "I never asked her to pay back the money."

Qi Xixing picked up the phone directly.

After a while, Qi Yao and his wife's cell phones rang.

Qi Yao took a look and saw that there was an extra 50 million in his card!

Yu Wanqiao saw that there was an extra 50 million in her card!

Qi Xixing said casually, "I'll give each of you 50 million in pocket money! Whether it's for investment or pocket money, use it as you please! Don't worry about money anymore!"
