Chapter 525: Chapter 415: The First [Joint] Operation, Begins!_2

"Come in!"

He instinctively wanted to lean back and then recline against the chair.

But given what had just happened, this time he dared not assume any particular physical posture.

Yet, his tone was still imitating Cheng Zhu.

He slowly began, "I think we don’t necessarily have to see Shendu Capital as a complete rival... cough cough!"

The reason Shen Minglang coughed was because Cheng Zhu had added "you understand, right?" after saying that sentence.

If he now echoed, "We don’t necessarily have to see them as a complete rival, you understand, right?" he guessed the walls of the room might end up with a new broken vine.

"Good thing I stopped myself!" he congratulated himself internally.

Shen Guoqiang, upon hearing this, seemed a bit intrigued even though he didn’t quite grasp what his son was trying to express, and let out an "Oh?"

Seeing his dad taking the bait, Shen Minglang’s heart leaped with joy and he quickly resumed his posed arrogance, saying,

"Who knows, when Youu Tea enters its second round of financing, Shendu Capital might come knocking on our door!"

Ha ha! Thrilling!!!

...

...

In the tea room, after Shen Minglang had finished his act, he watched as his father’s expression gradually darkened.

Shen Guoqiang, who already had a stern face that exerted great pressure, looked displeased.

He realized he had thought too far ahead again.

He had thought they were strategically underestimating the enemy while tactically paying them great attention.

Now, it was clear they were outright despising the enemy!

The aspirations were too high, high enough to believe that during their second financing round, even competitors would eagerly queue up to invest!

"Do you even realize to what extent you need to develop the milk tea business for you to have the right to speak like this?" Shen Guoqiang felt a need to seriously reprimand him.

Given Youu Tea’s current situation and future outlook, there was no way it could reach that level!

Even if you run a "cash cow" business, it still wouldn’t be enough!

Furthermore, you had just finished your first round of financing before the New Year, and commercial expansion has only just begun, and yet other stores are not even open. Are you already dreaming about these things?

"There’s a long way to go before your second round of financing, you understand, right?" Shen Guoqiang said sternly.

Shen Minglang: "..."

Roar! He’s saying "you understand, right?" to me!

That’s exactly what I was holding back from saying!

For some reason, Young Master Shen felt a bit crazed inside.

Moreover, that familiar feeling returned.

It was his father’s relentless oppressive education.

Shen Guoqiang sternly rebuked Shen Minglang, thinking he was too ambitious and overly relaxed, and that his old problems had started showing up again, starting to be too clever for his own good!

Actually, Shen Minglang was like this purely because of his tremendous trust in Cheng Zhu.

His cousin was the most impressive young man he had ever seen.

Whenever you thought he was boasting, in time, his boasts would turn into reality.

Just that alone was quite frightening!

—Anything I say will come true!

Strictly speaking, Shen Minglang was indeed one of the earliest to discover Cheng Zhu’s impressive abilities.

While everyone else didn’t know what Cheng Zhu was busy with during the summer, he already knew his cousin had made a killing by selling QQ lingerie!

Over time, this phenomenon had arisen: one dared to speak, and the other dared to believe!

Cheng Zhu had said that during the second round of financing, Shendu Capital might also seek them out, and so, Shen Minglang believed it would happen.

He was even quietly looking forward to that day.

Shen Guoqiang’s oppressive education had long been familiar to him.

Of course, there were also his eyes, unmasked with disappointment every time he scolded him.

This is also why Cheng Zhu always felt that every shop Shen Minglang had opened in the past was his way of "selling himself."

He wasn’t just opening shops; he was trying to prove himself.

Recently, Shen Minglang had been busy completing the tasks assigned to him by Cheng Zhu.

And because of this, he could better appreciate Cheng Zhu’s profound foresight. He had even decided that dealing with supply chains was a trend of the future, the direction to go!

This was what he could feel from his own hands-on experience.

"Some of my cousin’s ideas, I admit, are only half clear to me. But the tasks he has given me to do, I am gradually understanding his intentions and can slowly start to see some future directions."

He felt Youu Tea was on the most correct path!

More correct than any other in the industry!

At the moment, he looked up at Shen Guoqiang, facing that all too familiar look.

That look of disappointment again, as if the pig’s head from the zodiac sculptures at Yuanmingyuan were fake, and the real one was hanging around my neck.

After a long speech, Shen Guoqiang also left the tea room displeased, leaving behind only these words:

"You really need to think about this. The capital market’s interest in your second round of financing is a long way off! If you keep up this positive attitude, it’s uncertain whether you will even have a second round!"

After Mr. Shen left, only Shen Qingning and Shen Minglang remained in the tea room.

During this father-son interaction, Ningning merely made tea and did not join in or voice her opinions.

In fact, she always felt that her father sometimes treated her brother with a harsh attitude, and some of his words were overly hurtful.

In her memory, there were almost no instances of him praising Shen Minglang.
