Ye Chen understood that Shared Bikes would definitely make money.
However, in the later stages, Shared Bikes would face a harsh winter.
What Ye Chen wanted to do was to package and sell the Shared Bikes business before that winter arrived.
Li Li took a deep breath and said, "I need to consider this further."
Although Ye Chen had only added five percentage points, as a seasoned businessman, Li Li had to think about it seriously.
He knew what those five points meant; it could represent hundreds of millions or even billions in profit.
Li Li looked at the young man before him, who had just graduated from High School, with even greater respect.
After all, in this age group, there weren't many young people who could possess tens of millions in savings.
This was enough to show how strong Ye Chen's capabilities were.
Ye Chen gave a faint smile. "Uncle, there's no rush. You can think it over carefully and just let me know the result by the end of the month."
He wasn't worried that Li Li would cast him aside and go it alone.
Although Ye Chen had only mentioned the development direction of Shared Bikes, the detailed strategic plan was still in his hands.
Although Shared Bikes existed as early as 2014 in his past life, they didn't become popular until two years later.
The reason for such a long gap, besides funding factors, was another important reason: they lacked a detailed operational plan.
Because of this, the development of Shared Bikes took many detours.
This also led to an unstable foundation in the early stages, where over a dozen brands of Shared Bikes scrambled for the market, and in the end, no one made any money.
As a reincarnated person, Ye Chen knew how to operate better; he had a perfect plan that had been tested by the market.
It could be said that Ye Chen's plan stood on the shoulders of giants.
Li Li smiled and said, "No need for the end of the month. I'll give you a reply tomorrow."
"Good." Ye Chen was very satisfied with Li Li's decisiveness.
Li Li was a businessman, after all.
He had to carefully consider whether the Shared Bikes project could be profitable.
Although a five-million-dollar investment wasn't much, he wouldn't just dive in brainlessly.
The two of them toasted with tea instead of wine. Cheers!
...Meanwhile, at another cafe.
Yu Weiwei and Li Sitong were drinking coffee.
"What? Your dad knows about your relationship with Ye Chen?"
Yu Weiwei said in surprise.
Li Sitong took a sip of coffee and said bitterly, "I never said Ye Chen was my Boyfriend, but that's really what my dad thinks."
Yu Weiwei said, "There are only two possibilities for your dad to meet Ye Chen: either he's going to break you up, or he's entrusting your life to him."
Li Sitong's pretty face turned slightly red upon hearing this.
Li Li had already made his stance clear to her; he definitely wouldn't oppose her dating Ye Chen.
Then it was very likely he was entrusting her life to him.
Li Sitong understood that the reason Li Li said he wanted to cooperate with Ye Chen was likely a test for him.
She was very worried about whether Ye Chen could pass this test.
"Si Tong, do you still not plan to confess to Ye Chen?" Yu Weiwei asked.
"I think I've already confessed, in a way," Li Sitong thought back to that night.
"But between you and Xia Yingluo, he eventually has to make a choice."
In class, everyone could see the relationship between Ye Chen, Li Sitong, and Xia Yingluo.
Li Sitong drank her coffee, looking preoccupied.
"I don't want him to choose," Li Sitong finally squeezed out a sentence.
"What do you mean?" Yu Weiwei was stunned for a moment.
"Xia Yingluo and I are like sisters now. We both understand that Ye Chen is in a difficult position. Whether he chooses me or her, it will hurt the other."
"And then?" Yu Weiwei asked.
"We just want things to stay like this. Besides, I think this is quite good."
Yu Weiwei was speechless. "I really don't understand you guys. If it were anyone else liking the same boy, they'd be like enemies, but you two have become best friends."
Li Sitong smiled proudly. "This is probably just Ye Chen's charm."
Yu Weiwei sighed. "But honestly, Ye Chen really is too outstanding."
Not only was Ye Chen handsome, but even Yu Weiwei was very surprised by his two recent investments.
His grasp of information and control over the market were things an ordinary eighteen-year-old boy simply couldn't achieve.
Forget about making money; most eighteen-year-old High School students are still asking their parents for money.
But Ye Chen already had assets worth tens of millions.
Who knows what heights Ye Chen will reach in the future.
"Right? I also think Ye Chen is exceptionally outstanding." Li Sitong smiled sweetly... That evening, after parting with Yu Weiwei, Li Sitong returned home.
When she got home, she found that Li Li had already returned.
"Dad, how did the business talk with Ye Chen go?"
Li Sitong was desperate to know what Ye Chen and Li Li had talked about.
She had originally wanted to ask Ye Chen on the way, but after thinking about it, she decided to sound out her dad first.
"Haha, Ye Chen has great vision, is steady, and has guts. His future prospects are limitless."
Li Li's mouth was full of words of praise for Ye Chen.
"Do you know? Today I just asked casually, and he came up with a project with considerable investment value."
Mentioning Ye Chen, Li Li could not suppress the fondness in his eyes.
Ye Chen and Li Li had chatted while eating, and the more they talked, the more they hit it off.
Through their conversation, Li Li discovered that Ye Chen had unique insights into this era and future developments.
Even Li Li admired these insights very much.
As a result, Li Li became even more determined to cooperate with Ye Chen.
Li Sitong asked curiously, "What project do you and Ye Chen plan to invest in?"
Regarding Ye Chen proposing a project that earned her father's praise, Li Sitong wasn't surprised.
She believed in Ye Chen's vision completely; his investment certainly wouldn't be wrong.
Li Li said, "The investment project Ye Chen mentioned is called Shared Bikes."
"Shared Bikes?" Hearing Ye Chen's words, Li Sitong was also taken aback.
It was the first time she had heard the term 'Shared Bikes' as well.
Li Li smiled and said, "These Shared Bikes are quite extraordinary."
Next, Li Li explained Ye Chen's explanation of Shared Bikes to Li Sitong.
"Wow, that sounds so cool. This is a very good investment project."
"Many people can afford cars now, but after all, there are even more people who can't."
"Whether it's the bus or the subway, they're all overcrowded."
"If there are Shared Bikes, you can get some exercise and it's convenient too. This idea is fantastic."
Listening to Li Li's explanation, Li Sitong's eyes were full of pleasant surprise.
As expected of the man I have my eye on; even a casual idea is so impressive.
From buying stocks for the first time, to trading bitcoin, to investing in her father's company's stocks, and now these Shared Bikes.
Li Sitong had even been wondering what exactly was inside her Boyfriend's head.
How could he be so outstanding and have such a sharp investment vision!
