In the small reception room at Star City, a brief silence descended.
In just over three minutes, Cheng Zhu had managed to persuade Yue Dongyi to double his investment from 80 million to 160 million by describing Youu Tea's innovative business model, which was unlike anything in the traditional milk tea industry.
But no one expected that he would reject the offer so decisively.
Moreover, he set the price at one billion.
It was a good thing that Shen Minglang wasn't present at the time, otherwise he would definitely have blurted out, "Cousin, have you gone mad?"
Cheng Zhu's approach was indeed puzzling.
When Tiancheng Capital had approached him and were a minute late, he immediately raised the price to 130 million.
"Add a billion for being one minute late"—this phrase had been causing quite a stir in the investment circle recently.
There was no helping it, the story really grabbed attention, and it was hard not to take notice.
