Song Shiyu also changed the subject, talking about the special features of Yunnan Province.
Fenglan served food to Fengchun and the child, which eased the atmosphere a bit.
Since it was Song Shiyu who was treating, Zhang Tao politely chatted with Song Shiyu, asking, "Brother-in-law, where do you work?"
Song Shiyu's face was beaming like a blooming steamed bun, as if she was just waiting for Zhang Tao to ask.
"I haven't had any good ideas over the years and haven't accomplished much, but recently I found a great project, it's very promising. People's fortunes change, and I guess I've turned things around."
Zhang Tao... also has a saying: "Don't underestimate a young man's potential."
"That's good, then eldest sister won't have to work so hard."
Seeing that Zhang Tao gave a perfunctory answer and did not ask any further questions, Song Shiyu continued, "Brother-in-law, I have a very good project. I don't know if you are interested."
Feng Chun sneered inwardly, finally revealing the purpose of today's meal.
"Thank you, brother-in-law, but I have limited energy and really can't spare the time to study other projects," Zhang Tao declined.
Song Shiyu said, "Brother-in-law, my method is simple. There are several models. If you don't want to put in the effort, you can just wait to make money. The restaurant owner is from my hometown. He's also busy, but he just waits to collect his earnings every month."
"Wow, such a good thing is possible?" Zhang Tao thought to himself. How could such a good thing happen to Lian Qiao, whom he had only met a few times and whose relationship with him was just so-so?
"It's not good news. Your brother-in-law wouldn't have thought of you either. Let me tell you, do you know Ant Group?" Before Zhang Tao could answer, Song Shiyu excitedly interrupted.
"Ant Group is going public. They're in the financing phase right now. If we put money in their account now, we can exchange it for their original shares. Once they go public, the value will be at least ten times, and that's the minimum. Plus, they'll give us interest on the money we put in their account. Guess how much interest they'll give us?" Song Shiyu was so excited that her mouth was foaming at the mouth, as if she had drunk laundry detergent.
Zhang Tao shook his head.
Song Shiyu held up five fingers. "Five cents! Five cents! Ten thousand yuan a month is five hundred, a year is six thousand, and in a year and a half, I can earn back my principal."
Zhang Tao frowned. "This interest rate is too high. It's usury, and it's illegal."
“Brother-in-law, your worries are unnecessary. I know you also run a small company, but it can’t compare to Ant Group. They are preparing to go public in the US. This amount of interest is nothing to such a big company. Once it goes public, their capital will increase hundreds of times. The original shares held by retail investors are nothing in their eyes.” Song Shiyu spoke passionately, spitting as he spoke.
Zhang Tao, who runs a small company...
"Although my company is small, I still understand some of the operations of listed companies. Generally, financing involves initial public offerings, additional share issuances, and rights issues. Your financing method falls under the category of private lending, which is difficult to handle in case of disputes."
"Isn't issuing shares just about getting investors to buy initial public offering (IPO) shares? With the stock market so sluggish right now, issuing more shares doesn't benefit the company."
Surely a company that big wouldn't have considered this? The most suitable approach right now is private fundraising, which benefits ordinary people like us and also reduces a lot of costs for the company.
"Brother-in-law, many people have the same idea. If you don't believe me, you can come and see for yourself. The North and South Buildings belong to our company, and it's a very powerful company." Song Shiyu stood up straight, as if he owned the company.
