Chapter 637: A Project That Turns 2 Million Yuan Into 6 Billion Yuan?
Su Yang did not mean to bully Tang Xiaomi. If it was just an ordinary fragrance, Su Yang might have ignored it. After all, it was a project that could earn money. It was not as interesting as Tang Xiaomi’s reaction.
But… This was no ordinary fragrance. This was a fragrance that Little Hus had smelled passively!
This made everything different!
Actually, ever since he summoned Little Hus, Su Yang had been studying Little Hus’s [Potential Sniffing].
After studying it for a long time, he realized that other than the difference in the concentration of the fragrance, Little Hus’s [Potential Sniffing] was also divided into active and passive scents.
Active sniffing would be when Little Hus itself took the initiative to smell something or when Su Yang had requested for it to.
Those that had fragrances would have potential, but their potential would be different. Some could only earn 10% while others could earn several times more.
However, this would be different for passive sniffing.
Passive sniffing would be when Little Hus did not take the initiative to sniff, but the fragrances would come out the item itself!
Projects and items that could give off the fragrances of potential were all very promising!
For example, Pool, who had received special abilities after [Advanced Life Evolution] was used on her.
Another example would be Yang Meiyue. Later on, under Little Hus’s appraisal, she was at least a first-rate female celebrity.
As another example, Guo Xiaoying, who had a movie with a box office earnings of 4 billion yuan, “Wandering Planet”.
Anyway, none of them were simple.
Of course, Su Yang would not pass off on such an opportunity.
Tang Xiaomi had no idea what Su Yang was thinking about. She pouted and said, “Y… Y… You… Didn’t you say that this project isn’t good like I did?”
Su Yang chuckled and patted her head. “Silly child. You believed me just because I said so.”
However, he had to admit that Tang Xiaomi’s taste was really similar to his, there was nothing much to it.
Su Yang had never accurately appraised a project before.
After bullying Tang Xiaomi for a while, Su Yang ran to the sofa with the documents before she cried.
When he reached the sofa, Little Hus started explaining, “Su Yang! Let me tell you, this is the most fragrant smell I’ve ever sniffed!”
Su Yang asked, “How fragrant is it?”
Hearing that, Little Hus hesitated for a while.
After a while, it said, “I think there’s no upper limit to this fragrance.”
‘No upper limit?’
Su Yang was shocked.
‘Is this company going to become a company like Alibaba and Tencent? Surely not!’
Thankfully, when Little Hus said that, it added, “No, no, don’t misunderstand. I’m not saying that there’s no limit to its potential. I’m just saying that it’s rate of development is too quick and over too long of a period, so I can’t smell the end of it.”
It explained, “I always thought that my sense of smell could detect the full potential of a project, but now I realize that that’s not the case. My sense of smell has a time limit. It should be three years at most.”
“According to my sense of smell, this company will grow rapidly in the next three years. Three years later, it will still grow rapidly. That’s why I said that there’s no upper limit to its potential.
Su Yang asked, “Then, how much potential have you sniffed out for the next three years of this company?”
Little Hus thought about it for a while before saying a number. “I don’t know how to put it. I can only say that it has grown more than 1,000 times. Its valuation is over 90 billion yuan.”
Su Yang was confused.
‘What?
‘A thousand times? 90 billion yuan?
‘And it’s only going to take three years?’
Su Yang was stunned.
He said to Little Deeny, “Little Deeny, can you check where we would be ranked in the country with a market value of 90 billion yuan?”
Little Deeny’s server was running very fast, so it did not take her more than two seconds to spell out a string of data.
“Master, if the market value is for 90 billion yuan, then among all the internet companies in the country last year, you can be ranked fifth. The top four are Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu, and JD. The rest, be it online trading, travel, Weibo, or 360, they are all behind you.”
“If we add all the companies in the country, including China National Petroleum, Sinopec,, CRRC, China Life and various large banks, we will definitely be in the top 100 within the country.
“However, Little Hus told me about the company’s development curve just now. Based on my estimation, the next few years will be the period of rapid internet development. If this company really develops with this curve, then it will most likely enter the top 30 within five years.
Su Yang’s mouth slowly opened…
‘D*mn.
‘Five years! Top 30 in the country!
‘We’re rich! We’re rich! This company is too awesome!
‘I have to invest in this! No matter how much the other party wants, whether I can get rich or not all depends on this!’
Therefore, Su Yang immediately decided to invest in the first project he and Tang Jing’s company would invest in!
He wanted to see how much the other party wanted. If they wanted more, he could just use his personal money to cover up another portion of the investment.
Su Yang did not want to miss the chance to get on the express train.
With that thought in mind, Su Yang finished dinner with Tang Jing and Tang Xiaomi. He then coaxed Tang Xiaomi to watch TV, leaving Tang Jing alone.
After Tang Jing was done with the dishes, Su Yang said to her, “Sister Tang, let’s have a chat.”
Tang Jing replied gently, “Okay. Give me a moment.”
She washed her hands and sat in front of Su Yang. “What’s the matter?”
Su Yang took out the project information and passed it to Tang Jing. Pointing at Juduoduo, he said, “Sister Tang, I’ve got a good hunch about this project.”
Tang Jing did not hesitate or worry about Su Yang. She said gently, “Sure, let’s invest in this project then.”
Su Yang was confused. “Aren’t you going to ask why?”
Tang Jing shook her head gently. “No need. I believe you.”
Su Yang was speechless.
He realized that being such a person was actually very blissful because he did not have to think about anything and could do whatever he wanted.
Just like how he believed everything Little Hus said. He didn’t have to use his brain…
However, this was not a bad thing. It was better than Zhao Licheng’s company where the three of them had three hearts.
Once the matter was settled, Su Yang told Tang Jing to follow the matter personally and get as many shares as possible.
Although Tang Jing did not understand why Su Yang thought so highly of this company, she had always been weak and obedient. Hence, she agreed.
The next day, on Saturday, after half a month of screening, the box office for “Wolf Warriors” officially broke 600 million yuan! This also meant that Su Yang and Wu Feng’s bet ended with Su Yang winning.
The stakes were 10% of the investment quota for “Wolf Warrior 2”.
On the same day, Wu Feng gave Su Yang a call and told him that he had already arranged to meet the director of National Films for a meal. However, the director was busy and would only have time tomorrow night. As time was tight, he asked Su Yang if he could make it.
How could Su Yang not be able to make it in time? To him, he only needed a Silver Ability to fly to the Imperial Capital. Hence, Su Yang agreed immediately.
That night, when Tang Jing returned home, she told Su Yang that she had talked to the founder of Juduoduo personally. However, she realized that the founder seemed to be very smart and had a strong desire to control things.
His company had just been established and he didn’t even have a website or app. He asked for an angel investment of 2.1 million yuan, but the amount of shares given would only be 3%.
Su Yang was stunned when he heard that.
He did some calculations. ‘Based on the value of 2.1 million yuan for 3% of the shares, this company that has yet to officially operate has a valuation of 70 million yuan!
‘Err… I really don’t know if this person is confident or just arrogant.’
However, after taking a closer look at the founder’s information, Su Yang realized that this person might really be extremely confident in himself.
Because he had already opened up businesses many times.
Generally speaking, this kind of person would mean that all his previous startups were all met with failure.
But he was different. He founded mobile e-commerce, e-commerce operation and a video game company that does sideline games. Furthermore, they were all popular…
Therefore, he was confident that he had the resources and money for this angel investment.
However, running a company was like shooting a movie. If you could avoid spending your own money, then that would be the better method.
That was why he was looking for an angel investment.
This was also why he asked for a high price.
Su Yang and Little Deeny analyzed the founder together. ‘Based on the founder’s desire to control the company, it was likely that he would try his best to ensure that he held more than 51% of the shares before the IPO. If this is the case, he probably won’t give out many shares for the next few rounds of financing.
‘If I invested 3% now, even after three years of financing dilution, I should still have about 2.7% left.
‘With a valuation of 90 billion yuan in three years, 2.7% would equal to 2.43 billion!
‘According to Little Deeny’s estimation, if this company could really reach 90 billion yuan in three years, then in five years, it would definitely be worth 200 to 300 billion yuan.
‘In that case, the value of the 3% shares would be even higher, perhaps even more than 6 billion yuan!
‘In three years, 2 million yuan would turn into 2.4 billion yuan!
‘In five years, 2 million yuan would turn into 6 billion yuan!
‘Only a fool would pass up on such a deal!’
Hence, Su Yang felt that he should not be bothered about the price. Instead, he should ask for more shares!
Therefore, he directly asked Tang Jing to continue negotiating with the other party. The price could be negotiated, but he needed more shares! If Tang Jing was not able to negotiate, he would personally go out and talk to the founder.
With Tang Jing’s help, he believed that it would not be a problem for him to get more shares if he relaxed his conditions a little more! Every bit of shares represented billions of yuans of profits in the future!
Hence, Su Yang was determined. If it really did not work out, he could just use his [Advanced Verbal Cannon]!
‘I haven’t used this ability ever since I used it on Lin Jiali!’
Su Yang put Juduoduo’s matter aside for the time being. The next day, Su Yang organized the documents and sent them to Zhao Licheng. He told Zhao Licheng to start organizing the company and prepare to officially start operations with the organization.
Furthermore, he started to build a headquarters on the piece of land in Shanghai.
After settling everything, Su Yang looked at the time. It was already noon.
He had a dinner date with Wu Feng at 7 pm, so he still had a lot of time.
However, he had nothing to do at that moment, so Su Yang pondered for a while. Should I… Have a chat with Lin Jiali first?
‘The last time, because I’ve been exposed as a fan of Han Yi’s and because I’ve gone to visit Yang Meiyue, this female celebrity has been jealous for a long time. The relationship between us has always been lukewarm, so it’s time to resolve the misunderstanding.’
With that thought in mind, Su Yang made up his mind. ‘I’ll visit Lin Jiali first!’
‘Coincidentally, it’s noon now. Lin Jiali must have just woken up and it’s now time for breakfast, so I suppose It would be nice for us to have a meal together.’
With that thought in mind, Su Yang drove back to the villa, went upstairs and returned to his room. Then, he used [Space Traversing Eyes]…
With the use of this Silver Ability, Su Yang turned into a ball of burning flames and soared into the sky, flying towards the Imperial Capital!
A dazzling meteor streaked across the sky like a burning fire phoenix. Unfortunately, time was still, so no one could see it.
Moments later, Su Yang arrived at the roof of Lin Jiali’s apartment and started his [Descent].
Su Yang, who had landed many times, crossed his arms before his chest. He was like a soulless transmigration machine. He passed through layers of floors and arrived at Lin Jiali’s room.
Everything seemed to be going smoothly and Su Yang was relieved.
Until… At the moment he was about to land…
Passing through the last floor, he arrived at Lin Jiali’s apartment. Su Yang looked down from the ceiling and was stunned.
‘Huh? Lin Jiali? Why is she here? What is she doing in the bathroom?’
