109: Chapter 109 You're welcome to mess with me anytime.

Honghai City.

A high-end cafe.

Luo Wei had just walked in when he spotted Zheng Zhiheng at a glance.

Dressed in a suit and leather shoes, giving off the vibe of a successful professional, Zheng Zhiheng was waving at him with a bright smile.

Luo Wei walked over, and Zheng Zhiheng, who had already stood up, immediately reached out to shake his hand.

"Mr. Luo Wei, it's been a long time!" Zheng Zhiheng appeared very excited.

He looked as if he were meeting an old friend after a long separation.

He had completely forgotten.

The last time he saw Luo Wei.

He hadn't given Luo Wei any face at all, and hadn't even spoken to him.

Luo Wei smiled, not minding such things.

After sitting down, he got straight to the point.

"You said your boss wants to invest in my Milk Tea Shop?"

"Exactly!" Zheng Zhiheng quickly explained. "Our Tianye Company plans to invest one hundred million in your Milk Tea Shop in the first phase!"

"We plan to open a hundred branches of Evening Plum Lodge in Honghai City within three months!"

"After that, our company will provide additional investment."

"Expanding the branches to major cities across the country!"

"And then, go public and expand overseas!"

Zheng Zhiheng painted a grand vision as soon as they met!

Many people would be thrilled to hear words like one hundred million, a hundred branches, nationwide expansion, and going public.

However, Luo Wei's reaction was calm; one might even say he had no reaction at all.

Luo Wei took a sip of coffee with a nonchalant air.

Zheng Zhiheng quickly continued his pitch.

"Mr. Luo Wei, you can take a look at our contract."

"Additionally, this is the investment portfolio of our Tianye Company, filled with various success stories!"

"And..." Zheng Zhiheng pulled out a bank card and placed it on the table. "There's five million in this card. As soon as you sign, you can take this five million away immediately!"

With five million placed before him, Luo Wei remained unfazed as he picked up the contract and began flipping through it.

The various clauses of the contract were written in great detail and clarity.

Luo Wei would need to hand over the secret recipe for the milk tea.

Furthermore, Luo Wei would have no right to participate in the management of the chain stores.

Besides the signing bonus, Luo Wei would hold a one percent equity stake.

"One percent equity? That's a bit too little, isn't it?" Luo Wei frowned.

"Mr. Luo Wei, that's already quite a lot!" Zheng Zhiheng hurried to explain. "Once the chain goes public, if the market value reaches ten billion!"

"The shares in your hand will be worth one hundred million. Under normal circumstances, how many cups of milk tea would you have to sell to earn one hundred million?"

"As long as you accept our company's investment, you won't have to do anything. You can just sit back and wait for the money to roll in!"

"Heh..." Luo Wei gave a cold, expressionless laugh.

"Currently, my shop makes tens of thousands in profit every day."

"The monthly profit is nearly a million, totaling over ten million in income a year."

"If I open a few more chain stores myself, I can easily break one hundred million in annual income without waiting to go public!"

Luo Wei's words made Zheng Zhiheng extremely anxious. "Mr. Luo Wei, that's not how you calculate it!"

He lowered his voice. "Do you think you can just open chain stores whenever you want?"

"Your shop is so popular right now; do you have any idea how many people are watching you from the shadows?"

"I'm certain there are definitely many people who want to cooperate with you!"

"Once you refuse them, those people will inevitably play dirty tricks behind your back!"

"Those people will report your shop for inadequate fire safety facilities, or spread rumors that your employees are sick, or that your milk tea tastes good only because you've added something to it!"

"In short, if those people can't have it, they will frantically try to destroy you!"

"So, in this situation, you must find a backer!"

"Do you know who our company's boss, He Tianye, is?"

Zheng Zhiheng lowered his voice even further. "He's the son of a certain big shot in Honghai City!"

"His father is powerful and influential. By accepting his investment, it's equivalent to being under his protection. No one will dare to touch you then, allowing you to make big money in peace!"

"I see..." Luo Wei nodded. "Can I talk to your boss directly?"

Zheng Zhiheng was speechless at this. "What do you want to talk to our boss about?"

"Our boss flies all over the world; he's incredibly busy with a thousand things a day!"

"Investing in your Milk Tea Shop is just a minor side move!"

"He's currently involved in international trade!"

"In short, I suggest you accept our company's investment."

"If you refuse, you will definitely encounter a lot of trouble later on!"

A normal person would certainly waver and then sign after such persuasion.

But Luo Wei remained unmoved. "I want to meet your boss, or else I won't sign!"

Zheng Zhiheng felt like cursing; he had spoken so earnestly, yet Luo Wei wouldn't listen to a single word!

Boss He Tianye was very busy; there was absolutely no way he would meet with Luo Wei over a Milk Tea Shop like this.

Even if He Tianye agreed to meet Luo Wei, based on Zheng Zhiheng's understanding of him, He Tianye would likely mess it up.

After all, He Tianye was skilled at seeking pleasure, but he really couldn't handle things like business negotiations!

If they had a disagreement and He Tianye started hitting people, that would be a disaster!

Zheng Zhiheng took a deep breath and continued to persuade him.

"Mr. Luo Wei, as a friend, I must remind you."

"Once our company sets its sights on something, we will definitely find a way to get it. If we can't..."

Zheng Zhiheng didn't continue, but Luo Wei understood his meaning. "If you can't have it, you'll destroy it, right?"

"In other words, you're planning to bring down my shop next?" Luo Wei chuckled. "In that case, after I get back, I'm going to install several surveillance cameras inside and outside the shop."

"We're in the era of self-media now. No matter what happens in the shop, I'll post it online immediately."

"You're welcome to mess with me anytime. When the public opinion starts to ferment..."

"Netizens will use their sharp eyes to dig up your boss's identity, and that won't be good!"

"If they accidentally expose your boss's father as well, that would be even worse!"

Luo Wei wasn't just being alarmist. After all, over the years, all sorts of big shots had been thoroughly exposed by netizens over minor details and ended up behind bars!

At this moment, having failed in his threat, Zheng Zhiheng was speechless, his cheeks flushed as if he were constipated.

'Zheng Zhiheng feels terrible; he is about to be harshly scolded by his Supervisor.'

Under the gaze of the Intelligence Eye, a line of text appeared above Zheng Zhiheng's head.

Luo Wei stood up with a smile. "Anyway, if you want to invest and cooperate, He Tianye must come and talk to me himself!"

The intelligence obtained today said that He Tianye has his eyes on the Milk Tea Shop!

Therefore, He Tianye must be dealt with to obtain intelligence points!

That was exactly why Luo Wei insisted so much on meeting He Tianye!

Watching Luo Wei leave, Zheng Zhiheng's face darkened. He really hadn't expected Luo Wei to be so difficult to handle...
