Chapter 287: Chapter 287: Intensify Investment Efforts_1

Liu Mei looked at Wang Ye in surprise, hesitating for a moment before saying, "Manager Wang... Do you know how large the area of one floor here is, and how much it costs?"

Wang Ye shook his head and candidly replied, "I don’t know. Do you?"

"I asked when I was renting the office, and each floor here is about three thousand square meters! It is indeed for sale, but it costs over thirty thousand per square meter. Buying one floor would cost one hundred million CNY! In addition, there are hefty management fees every month. I... I don’t have that much money." Liu Mei said, with a worried and bitter expression on her face.

She thought Wang Ye wanted her to spend her own money to buy the building.

A whole 100 million!

She could not possibly afford such a sum. Liu Mei had been in business for many years and her total assets reached only several million at most, barely ten million.

If she was asked to pay 100 million all at once, she would rather be dead...

Wang Ye smiled faintly, "Who said you have to pay for it? Naturally, the company will pay. Here’s what we’ll do: I’ll have the Group inject one hundred million US dollars into the subsidiary from our side. First, we’ll take out one hundred million CNY to buy this floor, and we’ll have use for the remaining money later."

The "Group" he mentioned naturally referred to Xiao Ying Group.

Right now, there were several hundred million US dollars in cash in Xiao Ying Group’s corporate account. Aside from Wang Ye’s own funds, it was the He family’s investment.

These funds were to be used for the hotel renovation and other publicity-related expenses.

At least a hundred million US dollars would be spent on promoting it domestically!

Upon hearing Wang Ye’s statement, Liu Mei was delighted. As long as she didn’t have to spend her own money, everything was fine. It wouldn’t matter if they were buying one floor or the entire International Trade Second Phase!

She quickly nodded, "Of course, there’s no problem! If the Group wants to buy the building, just leave it to me. I’ll ensure everything is handled perfectly. Rest assured Manager Wang."

Wang Ye’s perception of Liu Mei had changed.

After all, he and Nalan Yaqi had finally advanced their relationship.

Well, Liu Mei could be considered his half "mother-in-law", she was family!

So, Wang Ye planned to increase the investment in the domestic subsidiary. He would give Liu Mei even greater authority; he couldn’t afford to mistreat her.

...

There wasn’t much to see at this ongoing construction site.

When Wang Ye left the company, he took a look at the whole floor. Indeed, as Liu Mei had mentioned, aside from their branch, the entire floor was still vacant.

Once they bought the entire floor, they could refurbish everything together.

Oh, he could also let Polar Bear Investment set up an office here. After all, the floor area is large enough and the Xiao Ying Group’s branch does not require such a large space.

The hotel arranged by Liu Mei was just opposite International Trade, very close.

In fact, this entire International Trade area could be considered one of the busiest districts in the capital. Every building, whether it’s an office building, restaurant, hotel, or shopping mall, was top-notch.

He went to the hotel to drop off his things, washed his face, and sat down with Liu Mei to discuss the follow-up work plans for the branch.

When it was about time, they both went downstairs to have dinner together.

...

Wang Ye only stayed in the capital for one night, there were no incidents.

The next morning, he had Liu Mei drive him to the airport, and he took a direct flight to Peng City.

In Peng City, people like Milna were already waiting for him.

After nearly four hours of flight, he had essentially flown from the northernmost part of the country to the southernmost part.

Finally, Wang Ye arrived in Peng City.

He was very familiar with this city in his "former life"!

After returning to China back then, he had come here and struggled for more than ten years.

Barely, it could be considered his "third hometown".

His first hometown was naturally in central China, his second was Moscow, and Peng City was the third.

However, Peng City in 2001 was somewhat unfamiliar to Wang Ye. After all, when he came to Peng City in his previous life, it was almost 2010. Compared to Peng City ten years ago, there was a huge transformation!

Without exaggeration, Peng City could be considered the city with the strongest "vitality" in the country, with no close seconds.

Changes were particularly rapid here, with a complete makeover every two to three years. The actual beginning of the Reform and Opening Up here should be in the early 1990s, so it was only about ten years until 2001.

However, in these ten years, Peng City had been thoroughly transformed, starting to take shape.

The quantity of its tall buildings was hardly less than that of the capital. The entire city was like a giant construction site, with construction happening everywhere.

As soon as he stepped out of the airport, he saw a large banner hanging outside the arrival hall, saying "Time is money, efficiency is life"!

Slogans like this could only be seen in Peng City at that time...

Milna had specifically rented a car to pick up Wang Ye from the airport.

After picking up Wang Ye, the two got into the car, and Milna quickly began to explain the situation to Wang Ye.

"Over the past few days, I have been continuously in touch with Tencent Company, and they are very welcoming of our investment. However, at the same time, South Africa’s MIH Investment Company has also expressed a strong interest in investing, so now both our companies want to invest in Tencent. As a result, General Ma of Tencent has become greedy, saying that he needs to consider and compare the investment plans of both our companies before making a decision..."

Wang Ye nodded as he listened. He was a little behind.

If he had acted quickly and invested in the first half of the year, Tencent would not have been worth much at that time!

Of course, Tencent isn’t worth much now, either. Initially, Little Brother Ma was only expecting about three million CNY.

However, the simultaneous appearances of Polar Bear Investment and MIH Investment have increased Little Brother Ma’s appetite substantially!

This was quite normal, if it were Wang Ye, he would have had an even bigger appetite...

"It’s okay. Have you arranged a meeting with them? I want to meet Tencent’s founders this afternoon and settle things as soon as possible." Wang Ye casually stated.

"Yes, we have. We’re meeting at Tencent Headquarters at two p.m." Milna nodded.

......

The car arrived at a five-star hotel in the FT Area, where Milna and the others were staying. Naturally, Wang Ye would stay there, too.

At this time, Tencent Company’s office was located on Huaqiang North, in a rather rundown office building. It wasn’t too far from the hotel where Wang Ye was staying.

After checking in, Wang Ye didn’t have time to rest. He immediately held a meeting.

The staff members of Polar Bear Investment reported on their work, their duties varied: some were engaged in due diligence, while others were engaged in evaluation; their reports were all diverse.

Actually, Wang Ye didn’t need to listen to these things.

Because he was determined to invest in Tencent Company!

No one could stop him!

South Africa’s MIH is valuing Tencent at a few tens of millions of US dollars, right?

No problem, Wang Ye plans to give Little Brother Ma an even bigger surprise...
