Chapter 226: Chapter 146 Mengyao, You’ve Turned Bad
Chen Feng claimed to have a hundred million in cash, and of course, there was a bit of bragging in it.
But overall, when you added up his assets, he did indeed have almost a hundred million.
This included the Huiji Eye Medicine stock he had bought earlier, which, since he purchased it, had seen several continuous price limits.
He had bought in for ten million, and in just over ten days, he could have cashed out for almost twenty million. This Huiji Eye Medicine was undoubtedly another speculative stock.
Chen Feng had nailed it again.
Stocks, cash, plus real estate, his total assets were indeed around a hundred million.
So, strictly speaking, what Chen Feng just said wasn’t entirely false.
It was just that his sudden burst of laughter made it seem like he was deliberately bragging.
"What’s so funny? Don’t you have that much money?" Guo Mengyao asked with a stern face.
Chen Feng didn’t want to delve too deeply into the conversation, so he shook his head and said, "All right, my fault. I was bragging just now. I don’t have that much money."
Guo Mengyao stared at him for a while, then also shook her head and said, "You’re lying. I know you definitely have money now, I’m not sure exactly how much, but you should have several tens of millions. Otherwise, would you casually offer ten million to invest for me?"
"Then don’t you think I was just joking with you just now?" Chen Feng asked with a smile.
Guo Mengyao shook her head and said, "I trust your character, you wouldn’t joke about this kind of thing casually."
"Okay, thanks for your trust. For that trust, let’s have a drink."
"It should be a bottle actually, come on."
Guo Mengyao laughed and downed another bottle. Seeing this, Chen Feng also drank one.
"Not bad. Drinking with you is really enjoyable. So, if you really do want to invest in my company, I can offer you a 4.5% share for ten million."
"That’s just an intention. Obviously, I still have to scope it out first. Business is business, we might be classmates, but I definitely need to understand the situation of your company before I really put money into it."
Chen Feng indeed had an investment intention, given that he still had several tens of millions in the bank, just leaving it there wasn’t a good idea, nor especially safe.
Before he had no investment ideas because there weren’t any acquaintances or suitable projects, but now that he had run into Guo Mengyao, an old classmate, with the luck of a European king, he decided to give it a try.
Of course, he wouldn’t intentionally throw away millions, despite his good impression of Guo Mengyao, his old classmate, he still planned to make a thorough investigation of her company’s current operational state before investing.
As for giving her investments, Chen Feng actually had some other plans too. For instance, letting someone hold his shares on his behalf, in this way after he was gone, the economic returns from these shares could be transferred to his parents, allowing them to receive a handsome dividend of hundreds of thousands each year.
This would essentially be a form of those family trust funds set up by foreigners.
And the most suitable candidate for holding the shares was obviously Wu Mengting.
Even though she was just his sworn sister and they had known each other only for a few months, honestly speaking, besides his parents, she was the most trustworthy person around him.
The reason was simple, Wu Mengting genuinely liked him, not for his money, but for who he was, or as she put it, fate.
Additionally, Wu Mengting was not short on money, being a top web novel author, casually writing a book, annual earnings of several hundreds of thousands wasn’t a problem. So, she wouldn’t covet his shares and inheritance.
But Chen Feng couldn’t directly test her human nature by giving her money directly, letting her hold the shares of the company he invested in seemed more prudent.
As for not directly letting his parents or his elder brother hold the shares, the reason was simple. One was that Chen Feng didn’t want to reveal the fact that he had a terminal illness right now, and the other was that their experience and capabilities definitely couldn’t match Wu Mengting’s.
If he let them hold it, who knows, once he passed away, his invested company might suffer severe losses. Whether it was due to human factors or reality, it was possible.
Guo Mengyao’s cosmetics company was currently an investment project Chen Feng felt was quite reliable. Investing one or two million to be a small shareholder, earning a dividend of a hundred thousand or more each year was quite good, enough for his parents to have a very nice retirement.
"That works. After I move my company over, you’re welcome to inspect it anytime."
Guo Mengyao confidently finished, then insisted on chugging another bottle with Chen Feng.
Chen Feng was slightly annoyed by her somewhat challenging look, thinking to himself, do you as a woman really think you can outdrink me, a man? Can’t back down.
So, Chen Feng chugged another bottle with her.
Seeing this, Wu Mengting quickly intervened, "Bro, that’s enough. You were advising her not to drink too much earlier, and now you’re doing the same, it’s harmful to your health."
"OKOK. We’ll drink slowly." Chen Feng went with the flow, his belly actually felt a bit off after chugging two cold beers in a row.
"Haha, Chen Feng, seems like you really listen to your sworn sister," Guo Mengyao said with a half-smile.
Chen Feng, chewing on squid strips, replied with a laugh, "Of course. What she says is right, why wouldn’t I listen? You too, the weather is cold, drinking so much cold beer all at once isn’t good for the stomach."
"Alright. I’ll take your advice, we’ll drink slowly."
Guo Mengyao, going with the flow, didn’t keep competing in drinking with Chen Feng, and after chatting for a while, she went up to sing again.
This time, after singing three songs in a row, she pulled Chen Feng to sing a duet of "Beautiful Myth" with her. The song wasn’t very challenging, and Chen Feng found it quite manageable.
