I was reborn and stayed in school to lie down. I really don’t want to roll anymore!

"Boss Jiang, I really admire your vision!"

In the conference room, as soon as Mr. Zhang sat down, he started praising, with no concealment of envy in his eyes.

This time it seemed that Mr. Zhang came alone, with only an assistant following him.

None of the company's specialized investment managers, including Gao Yan, came.

Before Jiang Hao could ask, Mr. Zhang continued.

"It's such a pity for miHoYo. They were willing to give me 500% of the shares for 15 million yuan, but they rejected it!"

"Ah~! I didn't expect that this game company would be in such a situation now!"

So that's the case. Jiang Hao can understand it.

Mr. Zhang subconsciously mentioned MiHoYo when he was having dinner with Mr. Ma and talking about the gaming industry.

Even the introduction of this investment was partly facilitated by Jiang Hao, who was given by Mr. Zhang.

I watched helplessly as miHoYo’s Series A opportunity slipped away to Jiang Hao!

Everyone can see clearly the current valuation of MiHoYo in its B round, including its position in mobile games and its future development.

"Mr. Zhang, didn't you also participate in the investment after the B round? Although the share is a little small, at least you entered the market!"

There are many investors in miHoYo’s Series B round, and everyone can see the potential.

In terms of the final share, Hillhouse Capital had a much smaller proportion and actually missed the biggest dividend in the A round.

Of course, in Jiang Hao's eyes, miHoYo is still far from what he expected.

The Honkai series is just the path for the early stage of development. If a company really wants to become a phenomenal company, it has to start after "Genshin Impact".

Only then will it become a truly giant gaming company.

Now Mr. Zhang is just saying it’s a pity out of appearance, but I guess he will be really heartbroken by then!

"Sometimes I wonder, Mr. Jiang, why don't you just go into venture capital?"

"You have a really good vision! Any project you undertake can be successful, and any project you invest in will quickly pay off."

"If you decide to enter this field, I'm afraid I won't have a single bite to eat!"

"Ha ha!"

"Mr. Zhang, you have to be careful. I have already established Haoyue Capital. There may be many opportunities to cooperate with Hillhouse Capital in the future!"

Both of them burst into laughter at this moment. The superficial flattery in business sounded quite satisfying to their vanity.

In the conference room, Lin Lili had already sent specific company status data to several people in the conference room.

The drink on the table is naturally coffee.

Of course, bottled water is also provided, but it is not mandatory for everyone in the meeting room to drink coffee.

Jiang Hao looked through the data in the document and found that most of it was consistent with what Sister Lin had briefly communicated to him.

There are 48 stores covering the entire province, including 24 in Songjiang City, the company's base, and several in almost every district.

Jiangning District is the focus of coverage, with 8 stores in one district alone, and all of them are doing good business.

However, outside of Songjiang City, there are actually not many stores in each prefecture-level city, with about three stores in each city.

After all, it is a physical industry and has not yet raised funds. It relies on one store after another and some franchise stores to slowly expand.

Mainly because the province’s stores were only covered at the beginning of this year, the speed is actually not slow.

If the A round of financing is willing to come in, the speed of deployment will be greatly improved!

“I didn’t expect Jiang Yu Coffee to have stores in so many places!”

Senior Sister Yu looked at the map on the middle pages of the document, which marked the approximate locations of all current stores.

It was a small store on Songgong University Student Street back then, but now it has spread all over the province. It’s really touching.

"Boss Lin, Jiangyu Coffee currently ranks second in terms of the number of stores in Songjiang City, right?"

In less than ten minutes, Mr. Zhang put down the report in his hand.

He had seen these data in the report when he had asked someone to conduct research before, and the data were almost consistent with no discrepancies.

At this moment, we are more concerned about the current market share and future potential of Jiangyu Coffee.

"Yes, currently in Songjiang City alone, Starbucks has the largest number of stores, with a total of 107 stores."

"Provincially, they have 189 stores in total."

Sister Lin has strong business capabilities. In just a few years, she has grown her business to the second largest in the province.

The boss who had cheated her was the one who first opened U.S. Coffee.

At its peak, there were 11 stores in Songjiang City, but eventually all of these locations were conquered by Sister Lin’s branches one by one.

Now, there are only 6 chain coffee shops left of that boss, and he is preparing to withdraw from the competition in Songjiang City.

Of course, in the eyes of Jiang Hao and Mr. Zhang, they would not compare themselves with such immature chain coffee shops.

His eyes were directly fixed on the country’s largest coffee chain, Starbucks!

"Boss Lin, it stands to reason that Jiangyu Coffee adopts a small store model, so the cost of opening a store should be much lower than that of Starbucks."

"If I am willing to invest in the A round, can you cover the entire country with stores within a year?"

“Not to mention exceeding the current 1500 stores of Starbucks nationwide, but at least we can reach more than stores?”

"At the same time, in Jiangnan Province, the number of stores exceeds Starbucks?"

As soon as Mr. Zhang said this, the meeting room immediately fell silent.

Sister Lin's face flashed with embarrassment. In fact, the 48 stores she currently has already made her proud.

It can be said that she developed, operated and managed it all by herself.

You know that the more stores there are, the more difficult the management requirements will be.

The difference between 48 and 1000 companies is 20 times in terms of quantity alone, and the difficulty of management is even more different.

After thinking for a while, he still felt it was difficult, but he didn't want to give up the A round of financing, so he looked at Jiang Hao.

No matter what, the main boss behind this coffee shop is still Jiang Hao himself.

"Mr. Zhang, don't just talk about goals! How much are you willing to pay in the A round?"

"If you can get the money, I believe one thousand will be no problem."

Jiang Hao didn't feel much about the requirement for the number of stores.

One thousand may sound like a lot, but in fact, it is not a lot considering the huge coffee market in the future.

They will find that Jue Coffee is essentially following Luckin Coffee’s path.

Of course, Jiang Hao takes a casual attitude towards this matter.

If Sister Lin can do it herself, she will do it, and he will give her some help. If she can't do it, then just forget it.

Therefore, the development speed of Jiangyu Coffee, especially the speed in the early stage, really depends on its own snowball accumulation.

If the company's size is really that of Luckin Coffee in the future, one thousand stores will be no problem at all.

The prerequisite is to have funds. Without funds, nothing can be done.

"Twenty million!"

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Hao looked at Mr. Zhang with strange eyes.

This amount is not large, but for a coffee company with less than 50 stores, it is a lot of money.

Or it could be said that it was far beyond Jiang Hao's expectations. He originally thought that Mr. Zhang was just acting on impulse and would invest tens of millions, but he didn't expect that he would be more generous than he imagined.

But the next sentence surprised him even more.

"Dollar!"
