Chapter 3368 Chatting while eating

Hong Wu didn't expect that Ye Chen's attitude towards this matter would be so tough.

He naturally knew that Ye Chen meant well to him, but as a grown man like him, he felt a little unworthy.

So, he said to Ye Chen: "Master Ye, since Hong Wu met you, not to mention that you saved Hong Wu's life, you have helped Hong Wu too much. Tianxiang Mansion has suddenly become so well-known, thanks to you. With such a foundation, I can do much better than before. I am already very grateful. How can I use that money for my own use..."

Ye Chen said unhappily: "Hong Wu, you don't have to be so polite to me. What I can give you directly is what you deserve in my opinion. If you don't deserve it, I may not give it to you even if you ask me for it."

Hong Wu said awkwardly: "Master Ye, I understand what you mean. It's like a particularly good boss who always wants to give employees a raise. But for the little work I do, this much is already too much. I really don't deserve any more..."

As he spoke, Hong Wu recalled what Chen Zekai had said to him, and he was moved and said, "Moreover, Mr. Chen told me that you have helped me clear my not-so-glorious past. This is a huge help to me, and I haven't had time to thank you yet."

Ye Chen smiled and said, “Hong Wu, have you ever heard that after some companies went public, even their cleaning ladies became millionaires?”

Hong Wu shook his head repeatedly: "Is there such an outrageous thing? I have never heard of it."

Ye Chen said seriously: "This kind of thing is not outrageous at all. The cleaning lady is also an employee of the company. If he worked tirelessly in the company when it was just founded and never left, then he is also a veteran of the company and an engineering company of the company. Before the listing, he will also be allocated a certain proportion of options. That's why after the company went public, the cleaning lady's net worth exceeded one million or even more."

At this point, Ye Chen added: "Of course, I don't mean to compare you with the cleaner. You are the one who has been doing the most for me during this period of time. Now there is a great opportunity to help you achieve your career. Naturally, why not for me."

Hong Wu was deeply moved, and tears unconsciously slid down his cheeks. He sighed: "Hong Wu is lucky to meet Master Ye."

Ye Chen smiled and said, "There's no need to say these polite words. I still hold the same view as before. Seizing the opportunity, striking while the iron is hot, and striving to maximize your benefits are the most important things for you now."

Hong Wu thought for a moment and said, "Master Ye, how about you use that money as a stake in Tianxiang Mansion? I'll give you 51% of the shares in Tianxiang Mansion!"

Ye Chen waved his hand: "This 50 million US dollars is not an investment from me, but a gift from me as a starting capital. I have calculated for you that with 50 million US dollars as a starting capital, you can not only build a complete team and create a complete brand, but also open several branches in first-tier cities. Once your development is on the right track and you are doing well, you can choose to raise funds on your own, or you can choose to let the Ye family invest in you;"

"At that time, I will use the money to exchange for your shares, and at the same time help you develop faster. If you list your Tianxiangfu in the future like Haidilao Hotpot, the Ye family will also have a lot of profit space as an early shareholder. Isn't this capital operation?"

"As long as you are willing to do it, as long as you are willing to start, then everything is possible. If you procrastinate from the beginning, then this thing will definitely not succeed."

Hong Wu said awkwardly: "Master Ye, I understand what you said, but I am also worried that I am not up to the level. In the end, I will mess up and waste your money, and also embarrass you."

Ye Chen smiled and said, "If Tawana hadn't come to your Tianxiang Mansion, you would have a great chance of screwing up, but now you have such a good foundation, as long as you work hard, you will definitely not screw up."

Ye Chen then said, "Hong Wu, once the listing is successful, it may be a company with a market value of tens of billions of dollars. Fifty million dollars is nothing. If you can make this thing work, you will benefit and I will benefit too. So from now on, stop talking nonsense to me and hurry up and start working!"

Hong Wu pondered for a moment, nodded heavily, and said: "Master Ye, since you think highly of me, I will do my best to do this well!"

"That's about right!" Ye Chen smiled with satisfaction, "Tavanna will often come to China to perform in the future. As a half-Jinling person, I will definitely make Jinling her first stop every time she comes to China to hold a concert out of gratitude to Jinling. I will also invite her to come to your Tianxiang Mansion to support you as soon as she arrives in Jinling in the future. If your Tianxiang Mansion happens to have branches in other cities where she performs, I will also let her go to your branches as soon as possible. So you don't have to worry about the traffic in the future, just do your best."

"Okay!" Hong Wu said immediately: "Hong Wu has learned from you. Master Ye, rest assured, I will not let you down!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly and was about to speak when his cell phone suddenly rang.

He looked down and saw that the person calling was Steve Rothschild.

After answering the phone, he smiled and asked, "Steve, why are you calling me so early in the morning?"

Steve smiled and said, "Mr. Ye, I have already arrived in Jinling. Now that I am here, I will not leave in the short term!"

"Again?" Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh: "You've been here quite frequently recently. When did you arrive? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

"Just arrived!" Steve said quickly, "I just got off the plane, and I have to tell you one thing. There's a little brother with me this time."

Ye Chen asked curiously: "Where did you get this little brother from? Is he a member of the other branch of your Rothschild family?"

"No, no!" Steve laughed, "The one coming with me this time is Matt Finkelstein, who secretly plotted against Tawanna a few days ago. I've already told him that he should stay by my side from now on, wherever I go, he'll go."

Ye Chen smiled and said, "After he joins you, many people in the United States will have trouble sleeping, right?"

"Haha!" Steve laughed, "I have asked him a lot of questions these past two days. Those guys really played dirty. They should all be locked up in your dog farm, Mr. Ye. Now I have all the secrets. Those bastards will only be more timid when they see me in the future."

Ye Chen said: "I happen to be in Tianxiang Mansion right now. If you have nothing to do, bring him over first."

"Sure!" Steve said excitedly, "I actually called to ask when you are free. I want to treat you to a meal!"

Ye Chen said: "Come to Tianxiang Mansion, let's eat and talk."
