Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 296 - 295: You Are a Tycoon
"Boss, we’re still students; you’re gonna scare someone to death like this!" After a long while, Cheng Lehao and Du Yifan finally came back to their senses, with Cheng Lehao dramatically patting his "plump" chest as he spoke.
"Yeah, Boss, if you were investing a few tens of thousands, or even a hundred thousand for us to start a company, I wouldn’t feel too much pressure. But you’re talking about casually dropping seven or eight million, and then adding another hundred million on top, you’re really gonna give me a heart attack. Besides, with just Fatty and my abilities, if you inject so much money all at once, we wouldn’t know the first thing about managing it!" Du Yifan said with a wry smile.
"I actually overlooked the fact that you guys lack experience in this area. But, it’s fine because we’re currently setting up a branch factory in another province and city, and right now it’s Lehao’s dad who is in charge of that. You two can get fully involved during this summer vacation, partly to learn about company preparation and management, and also to get out there and see the world. As for the funds, I was just making sure you had seven to eight million at your disposal from the start, but I didn’t expect you to spend it all at once. You can take it slow; once you gradually become familiar with everything and the company staff and all other aspects begin to take shape, then you can increase the investment. This seven to eight million is entirely up to you to control. Even if you lose it, consider it a learning experience. But if it exceeds this amount, I’ll start to get involved in the review process and won’t just throw money in it anymore. If you develop well, I might invest more heavily later on," Ge Dongxu thought for a moment and said.
"That’s better, but if you invest so much money, I definitely can’t hold on to that many shares," Du Yifan said.
"As for the shares, it’s easy to talk since we’re all brothers. The key point is, Boss, where am I supposed to get the money from? Either you lend it to me or ask my dad for it," Cheng Lehao said gloomily.
"You want to make a killing without investing anything yourself? That’s too good to be true. Of course, you should ask your dad," Ge Dongxu laughed and said.
"With such a huge amount of money, only you can talk to my dad about it. If I did, and told him ’Dad, give me a few million to start a company,’ he’d probably break my legs on the spot," Cheng Lehao said with a wry smile.
"It wouldn’t go that far. People’s perspectives change with the heights they stand on. Don’t believe me? When you go home this afternoon, try calling and asking your dad yourself," Ge Dongxu said.
"No, don’t! Are you trying to get me killed?" Cheng Lehao immediately exclaimed.
"Damn, if anyone’s going to get you, it’d be your dad, not me," Ge Dongxu quipped as he kicked Cheng Lehao.
Cheng Lehao dusted off his butt and, as if nothing had happened, sidled up again and said, "The investment money for my share, I think it should be less. Don’t be like you. If I lose it, at least my dad won’t go too hard on me."
"So, if I lose it, it’s okay, is that what you’re saying?" Ge Dongxu said, none too pleased. Stay tuned to novelbuddy
"You’re rich; losing a bit won’t hurt," Cheng Lehao said heartlessly.

Ge Dongxu looked at Cheng Lehao, only able to lament the misfortune of his choice in friends. However, he knew what Cheng Lehao said was true. In the late stage, if it comes to adding another hundred million or so, it wouldn’t affect him whether it’s Qinghe Herbal Tea, Yaxu Packaging, Donglin Yue, or even Qinglan Cosmetics; he was the major shareholder in all of them, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say he was making a fortune every day. If he let Du Yifan and Cheng Lehao test the waters with that money, after all, the computer networking sector represents a growing trend, he would still allocate some funds to it even without the two of them. If it ended up lost, it wouldn’t hurt his foundations. But Cheng Yazhou was just a minor shareholder. If he really had to invest so much money and it all went down the drain, it would hurt him badly. Blaming Ge Dongxu after the fact wouldn’t happen, but he’d definitely give Cheng Lehao a terrible scolding.
"To be friends with you, that’s just my bad luck," Ge Dongxu exclaimed in exasperation.
"Hehe, to have a brother for life, don’t say things that hurt like that," Cheng Lehao chuckled, reaching out with his chubby hand to sling over Ge Dongxu’s shoulder.
"Get lost!" Ge Dongxu promptly knocked his hand away.
During their conversation, the three of them arrived at school and temporarily ceased discussing the matter of investing and starting a company.
The trio estimated their grades, and all were very pleased with their scores.
On the way home, they picked up the conversation about investing in a computer company again.
"My investment will be just half of yours, boss, and for this great cause, I’ve decided to give up my life aspiration of admiring bikini-clad beauties on the beach every day and instead apply to a university in the capital. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be suitable for me and Yifan to live apart," Cheng Lehao said.
"Get lost, who’s living apart from you!" Du Yifan retorted, immediately kicking Cheng Lehao away upon hearing his words.
"Damn, Yifan, you’re so heartless and ungrateful. Haven’t we been living together for over half a year now?" Cheng Lehao exaggeratedly said, utterly disgusting both Ge Dongxu and Du Yifan.
Du Yifan had already found the distribution of shares to be problematic since he was just a student and it was only Ge Dongxu who was willing to spend so much money to give him a chance to practice and develop his skills. Had it been someone else, he might not even have landed a job, so seeing Cheng Lehao’s investment halved, he also requested a reduction in shares, asking for just five percent.
Five percent was still tens of thousands; Du Yifan felt it was too much and that he was greatly advantaged by it.
However, Ge Dongxu firmly disagreed, and in the end, it was Cheng Lehao who spoke up. He suggested that since they were all like family, there was no need to argue. He proposed that Du Yifan’s shares should match his own at twenty-five percent each, while Ge Dongxu, as the eldest and the wealthiest, with the responsibility of dealing with any issues that arose, would hold the majority stake of fifty percent.
Once the shares were settled, the three eighteen-year-olds, having just graduated from high school, started to discuss the name of the company.
Cheng Lehao still insisted on his ’Three Musketeers’, but Ge Dongxu didn’t like the name. In the end, they decided on ’Yile’, which took characters from both Cheng Lehao and Du Yifan’s names and also had a nice meaning.
Originally, Cheng Lehao and Du Yifan adamantly wanted to include Ge Dongxu’s name, but Ge Dongxu was concerned that if the company became famous, it would be easy for people to associate it with him, especially since he had been classmates with Cheng Lehao and Du Yifan. Moreover, adding his name would disrupt the intended meaning. After much persuasion, they agreed on the name ’Yile’.
Because they had the idea of starting a company, and Cheng Yazhou hadn’t yet left for the Provincial Capital due to his son’s college entrance exams, Ge Dongxu simply called Cheng Yazhou over to the villa after returning home.
Cheng Yazhou wasn’t particularly interested in investing in computers, especially since two of the major shareholders and the ones handling the business were his plump son and Du Yifan. If anyone but Ge Dongxu had proposed this idea, Cheng Yazhou would have immediately dismissed it.
What an international joke, even if you have a lot of money, you can’t just waste it like that.
But since the suggestion came from Ge Dongxu, Cheng Yazhou had to consider it carefully.
