Tycoon: I Have an Unlimited Modifier novel Chapter 533

Chapter 533: Chapter 290: The Joy of a Cheater

After returning to Chengdu, countless people came to visit Qi Sheng.

There were venture capitalists and bankers. Many were people Lü Wei couldn’t turn down, so he had to pass them on to Qi Sheng.

Qi Sheng selectively met with a few of them, scheduling the meetings over a meal at Zifei, located by Luhu Lake.

"Chairman Qi, I’ve spent a pretty penny at Zifei and Yu Tu, both under Zhuangyu Catering. Any chance you’d let me invest and get a piece of the action?"

He Yu had a blind fervor for any company under Qi Sheng’s name.

From the Spicy King project alone, they had made a killing.

By the time they exited, they were looking at a return on investment of at least tenfold.

Spicy King was, by all accounts, Black Ant Capital’s most successful investment.

It was precisely because of a star project like Spicy King that Black Ant Capital’s next two fundraising rounds went so smoothly.

But Spicy King alone wasn’t enough to sustain Black Ant Capital forever.

And so, He Yu had now set his sights on Qi Sheng’s other companies.

"President He, let’s forget about Zhuangyu Catering for now. I’m wondering, are you interested in Pop Mart?"

Qi Sheng had other plans for Zhuangyu Catering and wasn’t in a hurry to seek external financing.

"Pop Mart?"

He Yu’s eyes lit up. "Of course I’m interested!"

"To be frank, President He, I’m planning another financing round for Pop Mart before its IPO. Let’s tentatively set the valuation at three billion US dollars."

"If you’re interested, President He, you can discuss it further with President Si."

Qi Sheng had just casually doubled Pop Mart’s valuation, startling several people at the table.

However, some remained unfazed, instead thoughtfully considering the valuation.

"Three billion US dollars..."

He Yu was stunned for a moment. He hadn’t expected Qi Sheng’s appetite to be so huge.

When they had exited Pop Mart, its valuation was less than 300 million US dollars.

In less than a year, the valuation had increased tenfold!

This was practically daylight robbery.

But looking at Pop Mart’s performance, it was indeed stellar.

They were making money hand over fist from the blind box business alone.

Furthermore, the newly developed Ultraman cards had caused its net profit to double.

"Chairman Qi, we at Huaxing Capital are willing to accept this valuation!"

A plain-looking, bald, middle-aged man at the table gave Qi Sheng a slight nod.

’Bao Fan?’

Qi Sheng was, of course, familiar with this titan of the investment world who had once caused a major uproar.

He had single-handedly founded Huaxing Capital and had deep connections with many internet tycoons.

He had been the driving force behind the mergers of Meituan and Dianping, and Didi and Kuaidi.

In the investment world, his reputation was nothing short of legendary.

"Thank you for your confidence in Pop Mart, President Bao. We can discuss the details after dinner."

Qi Sheng raised his glass to Bao Fan, not intending to discuss it much further at the dinner table.
