I Have a Wealth Gathering Array-Chapter 220: Investing in a Hot Pot Restaurant
Hearing this, Yu Leyao said, "We’re still short 100,000 for the rent, plus the cost of other things, altogether we probably need three to four hundred thousand."
"What’s up, does President Qin want to invest in a hotpot restaurant?" she said with a smile.
She brought Qin Yun here mainly to check out the hotpot restaurant; as for investment, she hadn’t thought much about it and it was just a coincidence to meet Hu Congrong and others here.
If she really wanted to deliberately seek Qin Yun’s investment, she could have just asked her grandmother, Professor Zhao, for money.
Nodding, Qin Yun smiled and said, "Alright, I’ll cover the remaining amount, a full 400,000, and take a share of the hotpot restaurant."
Earlier, he had tasted the hotpot base that Yu Leyao made, and it was indeed delicious. As his money grows, he definitely needs to start trying investing in the future.
A hotpot restaurant is also a good place for investment.
"Then our funding is immediately complete." Upon hearing that Qin Yun was going to invest 400,000, Yu Leyao smiled and said.
"Let’s go and tell Senior Hu Congrong and the others."
The two of them went back to where Hu Congrong and the others were.
"Leyao, how’s the tour with Qin Yun going?" Others didn’t speak, but Lin Yu said with a cheeky smile.
She has known Yu Leyao for a long time, and bringing Qin Yun here is obviously because Qin Yun is special in Yu Leyao’s heart.
The others didn’t speak, troubled by the funding issues as well. Besides the rent, other funding must also be secured.
The best way is to bring in other investors.
However, in any business, the possibility of failure is higher.
For similar hotpot restaurants, many have tried, but after a few months, most ended up closing down.
These couple of months could toss away at least a million, or even a few million could go down the drain.
So, the difficulty in finding investors lies in this; without seeing guaranteed revenue, how many are really willing to invest?
Hearing Lin Yu’s words, Yu Leyao said it was okay, then asked, "How’s your funding situation?"
Once she spoke, everyone present shook their heads.
"It’s hard. Even if the rent is solved, other funding needs to be figured out."
"I’m planning to find a few more people to try and pull in some investment."
They all said.
The key is they’re also taking a try-it-and-see approach with the hotpot restaurant; it’s impossible to ask for money from home to invest. So, bringing in other investors to share the risk is best.
"Leyao, do you have any ideas?"
Hu Congrong looked at Yu Leyao and suddenly asked.
At this time, Yu Leyao wasn’t at all anxious, seemingly having a solution.
"Yes."
Looking at everyone, Yu Leyao nodded with a smile and said, "I just talked a bit with Qin Yun about the hotpot restaurant, and he sees great potential in it, so he’s willing to put out 400,000 to invest."
Hearing her words, everyone present was stunned.
"Qin Yun investing 400,000?"
Their faces immediately showed a hint of shock.
When introduced earlier, they knew Qin Yun was a freshman.
Most of them were third-year students, worried about funding, and Qin Yun could just come up with this much money?
"Could Qin Yun be a rich second-generation?" Instantly, many thoughts crossed everyone’s minds.
When Yu Leyao finished speaking, Hu Congrong’s eyes noticeably brightened, looking at Qin Yun and asked, "Qin Yun, how soon can you provide the money?"
Qin Yun smiled and said, "I can do it now."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone present changed.
Before, they thought Qin Yun seemed a bit immature, liking to attract attention, but unexpectedly he was deep and undisclosed.
"Wow, I didn’t expect you to be so rich, Qin Yun," Li Dandan said with a smile.
Altogether, they needed 450,000, and Qin Yun alone provided 400,000! And without his family’s approval.
It seems Qin Yun’s family must be well off.
In her mind, Qin Yun is someone who enjoys attention and has a bit of money.
But being a freshman, such a character is quite normal.
"Great, with 400,000 deposited, we can implement all our plans for the hotpot restaurant."
After Qin Yun finished speaking, Hu Congrong seemed obviously delighted and said, "With Qin Yun joining, our funding problem is directly solved. With enough capital, we should open the hotpot restaurant as quickly as possible! Additionally, the promotional work must start!"
"This place is located in the university town, with university students comprising a significant portion of the target audience, so everyone present needs to do a good job promoting this at their respective schools."
Hu Congrong, it seems, has done some management before, speaking quickly and clearly.
"There are still three or four days before school starts, and by then, I’ll get those flyers to all of you..."
After staying here for a while, Qin Yun and Yu Leyao left.
Qin Yun didn’t expect that, coming here to check out the hotpot restaurant, he would end up investing directly.
"Qin Yun, you’re quite confident about the hotpot restaurant," Yu Leyao said with a smile.
Qin Yun replied seriously, "I tasted the hotpot base you made, and it was indeed delicious. I think once the restaurant opens, it should taste good."
"Let’s hope so," Yu Leyao said with anticipation.
...
Time flew by quickly. In just a few days, the empty university was bustling again as students returned from winter break.
Qin Yun also returned to Jiangyuan University, specifically to dormitory 305.
The dormitory was very clean, obviously already tidied up. At this moment, Liu Xin was still helping him wipe the desk.
Seeing this, Qin Yun stepped forward and said, "Liu Xin, let me do it."
Liu Xin nodded; his sister was still in the hospital, but she was much better now.
With Celestial Fortune’s help, his stress decreased significantly, and he returned to school.
"Let me tell you, during Chinese New Year, I was winning everywhere. My dad, mom, sister, uncle, and aunt all lost money, while I was the only one winning," Zhao Kanghao boasted.
Beside him, Cheng Daxiong asked how much he won specifically, and Zhou Pang said since Brother Zhao was so awesome, he must treat us.
Boasting away, Zhao Kanghao saw Qin Yun and couldn’t help but say, "Qin Yun, what are you holding?"
Putting down the items in his hand, Qin Yun said, "Flyers for the Cyan Mist Hot Pot Restaurant."
"Cyan Mist Hot Pot Restaurant? Never heard of it."
"Qin Yun, are you doing a part-time job handing out flyers?"
Upon hearing Qin Yun’s explanation, Zhao Kanghao and others said one after another.
As for Zhou Pang and Cheng Daxiong, they were thinking that Qin Yun previously won a car, rented an apartment, and got a new car, so could it be that he really needs money this badly now?
But with the rent and car loan money, paying for a few months could indeed potentially use it all up.
In their hearts, they thought that Qin Yun really didn’t know how to save money. Previously, Jiang Yi and other girls from Zhang Xiaoyue’s dorm mentioned that Qin Yun spent money too extravagantly.
Now it seems the money really isn’t enough anymore.
