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

"2000 million dollars, I want 25% of the shares."

“At the same time, we guarantee that the number of stores will exceed 1,000 within a year, and the number of stores in Jiangnan Province will exceed that of Starbucks!”

2000 million US dollars, at the current exchange rate, is nearly 1.4 million RMB!

Investing in a coffee shop chain with less than 50 stores and only holding a 20% stake.

If it wasn't for Mr. Zhang himself who took the initiative to approach Jiang Hao about this investment, Jiang Hao would really doubt the motives of Mr. Zhang sitting opposite him.

For a moment, he really felt that Mr. Zhang across from him was here to give him money.

When Sister Lin heard this number, her breathing became heavy.

You know, she also owns a 15% stake in Jiangyu Coffee.

If such a financing could really come in, the value of her shares could skyrocket dozens or even hundreds of times!

"Mr. Zhang, you are not kidding, right?"

Jiang Hao couldn't help but confirm it again.

"Of course it's not a joke!"

"But I want to make one thing clear in advance: this financing is a bet agreement."

"If I fail to achieve my goal, I don't need you to compensate me, Mr. Jiang, but you need to buy back my shares at the original price!"

As expected! No wonder it’s so strange!

This means that Mr. Zhang himself does not bear any risks!

The $2000 million he was willing to offer for a 25% stake was essentially buying into a coffee chain with over a thousand stores a year in advance, giving it the opportunity to compete with Starbucks.

The valuation given is not based on the current price of Jiangyu Coffee!

"Mr. Zhang, are you optimistic about the future of coffee?"

"Boss Jiang, we are old friends, so I won't hide some information from you."

"I have asked our company team to conduct research and found that my country's coffee market has been growing year by year since the turn of the century."

"And the rate of increase is getting faster and faster, especially in the past two years, it seems to have entered a new stage of rapid growth."

"According to our company's analysts, the coffee market will experience a huge boom in the next 1-5 years."

Is this the strength of a well-known capital company like Hillhouse?

Jiang Hao, who was reborn from the future, naturally understood the market explosiveness of this coffee and the actual scale of the industry in the future.

But he knew this because he had witnessed it in his previous life, and Hillhouse Capital knew this because of the company’s talent statistics and strategic vision.

Jiang Hao was indeed impressed by the advance strategic layout.

"Mr. Zhang, with this amount of money, you can invest in any chain store."

"Are you worried that other coffee shops won't be able to take up this bet?"

There are actually quite a few coffee chain stores now, but it’s hard to find one that can afford a 20 million US dollar bet.

Jiang Hao is a relatively alternative person. He invested in the coffee shop by chance, and even now he doesn't take Jiangyu Coffee too seriously.

Unexpectedly, Sister Lin’s business was developing very well, which made Mr. Zhang want to invest.

"That's partly the reason, and partly because I quite approve of Jiangyu Coffee's management style."

"In particular, we have developed a coffee ordering app and a mode where you can place orders directly on the Jiangnan Express Payment app."

"I think this kind of management model and development ideas that are close to the Internet are what I am more happy to see."

After all, Mr. Zhang still has a latent sense of identification with Jiangyu Coffee.

At least it has some Internet-based thinking, and is not a completely traditional business model.

This is the key to his optimism about Jiangyu Coffee.

"Boss Jiang, and Boss Lin, do you agree with this financing condition?"

"No problem! I accept your offer!"

Twenty million US dollars is really a small sum for Jiang Hao at the moment.

There's no problem in playing a game with Mr. Zhang.

Especially since Jiang Yu Coffee has grown to its current level, he is willing to give Sister Lin a chance to try to continue to expand the coffee shop.

The entire financing process was completed very quickly. At around 5 pm, all the contracts were signed in just over an hour.

The current post-investment valuation of Jiangyu Coffee has reached 8 million US dollars.

At the same time, Jiang Hao is still the largest shareholder with a 63.75% stake, Lin Lili holds 11.25% and Hillhouse Capital holds 25%.

In the conference room, the only one left was Sister Lin, who looked excited but also worried.

Seeing this, Yu Xintong and Jiang Hao were not in a hurry to leave.

"Sister Lin, don't feel pressured. I believe you can do it."

This was Yu Xintong’s first time to experience a real financing meeting.

Of course, this round of financing is quite special for Jiangyu Coffee.

When it was over, she was worried for Sister Lin in her heart, but she tried her best to comfort Sister Lin.

"Thank you! Teacher Yu!"

As Lin Lili spoke, her eyes couldn't help but glance at Jiang Hao.

Although the company has grown to its current size, it is mainly due to her efforts.

But when it comes to some key details, Jiang Hao's guidance is indispensable.

Whether it was the hit product category of Whipped Coconut Latte or the current ordering application, these were the suggestions Jiang Hao gave at the beginning.

It is precisely the role of these key points that has attracted the attention of Hillhouse Capital.

"Sister Lin, don't worry."

"With the current amount of money, there is still a good chance that we can achieve our goal of 1000 stores."

"Even if it's not completed, at most I can just consider it as my own money to continue investing!"

Compared to Yu Xintong's comfort, Jiang Hao's words really relieved Sister Lin's pressure.

Since Jiang Hao is willing to take the risk himself, the burden will be much smaller for her.

"Boss Jiang, I have recently started sending employees to various provinces to select cities and stores. We will definitely start the expansion project as soon as possible."

Lin Lili has always had strong execution ability, which Jiang Hao admires very much.

"You don't have to worry about choosing a location. Just remember one thing: aim to open a Jiang Yu Coffee store near any Starbucks store."

In just a moment, Sister Lin's eyes widened and a look of surprise appeared on her face!

The most complicated problem in her mind was easily solved by Jiang Hao.

The site selection is actually the easiest part, just move the later model over.

In fact, they don’t need to think much about how to choose the specific location.

Situated near Starbucks and creating a price difference, this was Luckin Coffee’s original development idea in the future. Just use it.

Jiang Hao originally didn't consider how big the coffee company should be, and he was too lazy to mention many things specifically.

Now that there is a gambling agreement, especially since Mr. Zhang is willing to join in, he is really thinking about developing a chain of coffee shops again.

“A sharpened knife never misses the woodcutter!”

“Don’t just focus on this development just to achieve your goal.”

"You need to consider the coffee bean supply, cost, and management issues in advance! Be prepared!"

“If you open a thousand stores and more than half of them lose money, what’s the point?”

"For our current coffee beans, do you source them yourself?"

Sister Lin responded immediately to Jiang Hao's inquiry.

“We didn’t find the source, we just found the Nestle Group supplying it.”
