Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Investment
At ten minutes to three, the Bentley carrying Xu Yang and several others slowly stopped in front of Hui’an Pharmaceuticals.

Xu Yang and the others got out of the car.

He immediately spotted Gao Zimo in the crowd.

Gao Zimo immediately pointed out to Ye Kaifeng which one was his classmate, Xu Yang.

Thus, Ye Kaifeng immediately approached with Gao Zimo in tow.

“President Xu, hello, I am Ye Kaifeng from Hui’an Pharmaceuticals. We are very pleased to welcome you to our company for the inspection.”

Ye Kaifeng came up to Xu Yang, extending his hand warmly.

“President Ye, hello,” Xu Yang shook hands with him.

The two exchanged brief pleasantries before heading into the company.

They arrived at a conference room.

Next, Ye Kaifeng took out the documentation he had prepared, and Xu Yang asked his lawyers and financial team to review these materials.

Xu Yang and Yang Xin, the investment general manager, were then taken on a tour of the company’s R&D department led by Ye Kaifeng.

The manager of the R&D department gave a detailed introduction of their operations, with a focus on the development progress of a breakthrough gastric cancer drug.

At present, this is the company’s biggest selling point to attract investment.

One could say it’s the only selling point.

Xu Yang had come precisely for this reason.

After listening to the introduction, Xu Yang learned that this special drug had reached the final public relations stage.

No investors had invested because they felt the uncertainty was very high.

After all, no company had yet developed a drug that could completely cure cancer.

Xu Yang would never have considered investing if it weren’t for the system’s prompt.

The chances were really too slim.

It’s just like Wu Jing’s “Panther”—at the time of shooting, no one could have expected it to be a huge box-office success.

Afterwards, Xu Yang continued his tour under Ye Kaifeng’s guidance, visiting the workshops.

The workshops for producing various pharmaceuticals all adhered to stringent standards.

During this time, Gao Zimo accompanied them throughout the entire process.

He would chime in from time to time, as Ye Kaifeng had specifically instructed.

Having Gao Zimo as a link was more advantageous.

After the tour, they returned to the conference room where the financial experts and lawyers had just finished examining all the documents.

They produced a report for Xu Yang to review.

The data and information were all accurate.

In fact, Xu Yang conducted these proceedings merely as a formality according to the standard investment acquisition process.

With the prompts from the system, all of this was actually unnecessary.

But without these steps, it would likely arouse suspicion.

Deciding to invest without doing any due diligence is what a fool would do.

Xu Yang did not want others to consider him a fool.

By taking these steps, it was a normal investment.

At most, others would say he had good insight or was just lucky.

Finally, the negotiation came down to the acquisition price.

Xu Yang said, “President Ye, I can invest five hundred million, but twenty percent of the shares is not enough—I want twenty-five percent.”

Hearing this, Ye Kaifeng was both surprised and somewhat troubled.

He was excited that Xu Yang was willing to invest five hundred million Yuan, which meant capital was no longer a concern.

However, what troubled him was Xu Yang’s demand for a twenty-five percent stake.

Initially, he had planned to offer only twenty percent.

A twenty-five percent stake was beyond his expectation.

“President Xu, no problem, we can agree to a twenty-five percent stake,” Ye Kaifeng decided without too much hesitation.

Now, since Xu Yang was willing to invest, it was just a matter of asking for a little more.

Xu Yang was probably the only willing investor.

If they didn’t agree, the company would collapse in a few days.

Paying a little more for the company’s lifeline was still worth it.

Once the miracle drug was developed, he would simply transfer less money to himself afterwards.

Better than the company going under and losing everything.

“President Ye really is a person of great courage. I believe under your leadership, the company will surely develop that gastric cancer miracle drug,” Xu Yang said with a smile.

Twenty-five percent of the shares, once Hui’an Pharmaceuticals became a giant in the pharmaceutical industry, those twenty-five percent would be worth billions.

It must be said, this investment was a huge win.

Next was drafting the contract and then signing it.

Once the contract was signed, Xu Yang immediately transferred five hundred million into Hui’an Pharmaceuticals’ account.

Ye Kaifeng let out a sigh of relief; the tension he had been holding onto was finally easing.

The pressure had been immense during this period.

Now that the funding issue was resolved, all they needed to do was wait for the miracle drug to be developed.

He was still very confident about this gastric cancer miracle drug.

In the evening, Ye Kaifeng, along with other executives and Gao Zimo, entertained Xu Yang and his party at an upscale restaurant near the company.

The next day, Xu Yang and a few others had breakfast and then took a flight back to Jiangcheng.

Just as Gao Zimo arrived at work, the R&D department manager came over.

“Gao Zimo, the boss wants to see you in his office.”

“Alright.”

Under the envious gazes of his colleagues, Gao Zimo headed to the boss’s office.

Everyone already knew, Gao Zimo’s classmate had invested five hundred million and had become a major shareholder of the company.

With the company’s financial issues resolved, it was time for the boss to keep his promise.

And indeed, it happened just as his colleagues had guessed.

Upon arriving at Ye Kaifeng’s office, Ye Kaifeng took out a contract and asked Gao Zimo to sign.

It was a stock transfer agreement, with one percent of shares transferred to Gao Zimo in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the company.

Gao Zimo was overwhelmed, his hand trembling as he signed.

He could imagine, as long as the cancer miracle drug was successfully developed, that one percent of shares would be worth at least a billion.

He was quite confident in the success of the cancer miracle drug.

After all, he was part of the R&D department and, although not directly involved in that project, he was informed about some aspects of it.

“Thank you, President Ye,” Gao Zimo said excitedly.

“You deserve it, I’m just keeping a promise,” Ye Kaifeng said, waving his hand, “As for your position, I will talk to the HR manager and the R&D manager. I heard from the R&D manager that the supervisor of your project group resigned and there’s been no replacement. You’ll take over as the supervisor of your project team. You have to take it step by step, I can’t promote you to a high position all at once. You are still young, and I hope you understand.”

“Boss, I understand. This position is just right for me. Otherwise, if given too high a post, I wouldn’t be able to handle it well,” Gao Zimo said.

“Good, I have high hopes for you, and now that you’re also a shareholder, as long as you achieve results, I will definitely prioritize your promotion,” Ye Kaifeng said, satisfied with Gao Zimo’s attitude.

…

That afternoon.

Zhao Hai was busy at work when his phone rang.

Looking at the caller ID, it was Liu Yujuan.

Zhao Hai frowned slightly, initially wanting to ignore the call but decided to answer after some thought.

“What’s up?” he asked indifferently.

“Zhao Hai, I called you several times this morning. Why didn’t you answer my calls?” Liu Yujuan spoke with a hint of grievance.

“I didn’t notice,” Zhao Hai replied, still indifferent.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t noticed; he had chosen not to answer.

He was well aware of Liu Yujuan’s intentions and had no desire to entertain them.

Getting back together with Liu Yujuan was out of the question.

No matter how sweetly Liu Yujuan spoke, it was not going to happen.
