Chapter 217: Preparing to Invest in Jingdong Mall! (Part 4/5)

“However, I feel that Jingdong Mall’s disadvantage is quite obvious. After all, Jingdong Mall can’t possibly list all product categories for sale; otherwise, the capital tied up would be too much. Plus, the losses would be significant,” Su Xiaoli said.

“Currently, Jingdong Mall mainly deals in 3C products, such as computers and televisions. This way, they can create a price advantage,” Tang Feng said.

“What is Jingdong Mall’s advantage over Jianbao Network?” Su Xiaoli asked.

“Logistics,” Tang Feng answered.

“Logistics? Doesn’t Jingdong Mall use the same domestic courier companies for delivery?” Su Xiaoli was very puzzled.

“For now, due to its scale, it chooses to cooperate with these logistics companies. But I believe it won’t be long before Jingdong Mall will establish its own logistics. Of course, there’s also warehousing. However, achieving these requires a lot of capital,” Tang Feng replied.

“What is Jingdong Mall’s current valuation?” Su Xiaoli inquired.

“I’m not sure about that. It shouldn’t be too high, at most about one hundred million,” Tang Feng answered.

“Does that mean we could own fifty percent of the shares by investing one hundred million?” Su Xiaoli suddenly became interested.

“That’s not how the calculation works. If we were just going by valuation, then your math is correct. But considering other factors, your one hundred million investment would at most account for thirty percent of the shares,” Tang Feng replied.

“Thirty percent is acceptable. Of course, if you really believe in this project, we can invest more money to have a higher share percentage,” Su Xiaoli said.

“That’s possible. But Liu Dong might not agree. Of course, Jingdong Mall will definitely continue to raise funds in the future. In doing so, your share percentage will further decrease to a relatively reasonable figure,” Tang Feng chuckled.

“In that case, I’ll contact Liu Dong first thing tomorrow to see when he’s available and then meet him,” Su Xiaoli said.

Tang Feng didn’t say anything, just nodded.

After finishing their meal, Tang Feng escorted Su Xiaoli back to her room.

Perhaps because they hadn’t seen each other for a few days, they were somewhat anxious inside.

Tang Feng simply embraced Su Xiaoli!

Then, his lips pressed against hers.

Su Xiaoli instinctively closed her eyes.

Time ticked away.

After some time, Tang Feng reluctantly moved his lips away.

“You’re such a bully, always picking on me!” Su Xiaoli glanced at him playfully.

Tang Feng chuckled and said, “It’s getting late! You should rest now! We’ll talk more tomorrow!”

After finishing speaking, Tang Feng left the room.

Su Xiaoli felt somewhat lost.

At that moment, she was conflicted.

She wanted Tang Feng to stay, but she couldn’t do that.

After all, her idea was to wait until they were married before giving herself to Tang Feng.

Otherwise, if they had that kind of relationship before marriage, she really couldn’t accept it.

And she was a girl.

Girls must love themselves.

Only by loving themselves can they earn the respect of men.

Tang Feng returned to his room, lay on the bed, and stared at the ceiling, lost in thought.

After a while, he opened the system’s control panel.

He hadn’t completed the last mission the system assigned to him.

By his estimation, even with the fastest speed, it would take three months to complete.

He remembered that the system used to issue several missions at once, but now, after such a long time, there was only one.

This really frustrated him.

He hoped the system would issue more missions so he could accumulate more points and also receive other rewards.

Those rewards were something money couldn’t buy.

He opened the points mall and browsed briefly.

Although he had already mastered many skills, there were still many skills in the mall he hadn’t exchanged.

Of course, what he valued most was the “Artificial Sun” skill.

He knew well that mastering this skill would solve the energy crisis.

By then, energy could be inexhaustible.

He specifically looked at the points needed to exchange for this skill.

One zero, two zeros, three zeros…

A total of six zeros!

Meaning, he needed to accumulate one million points to exchange for this skill.

Without mission rewards, just relying on the points from signing in, he probably wouldn’t accumulate enough in his lifetime.

He felt somewhat desperate.

It seemed that to accumulate so many points, he needed the system to issue more missions.

Unfortunately, the system didn’t give him this opportunity.

He cursed the system a hundred times in his heart.

He silently vowed to complete the Beidou Phase Two project as soon as possible and successfully launch the navigation satellite.

Only then might the system issue new missions.

Quickly, the night passed.

Before five in the morning, Tang Feng woke up.

He washed up briefly, then went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

“Brother Feng, why are you up so early?” Su Xiaoli appeared just as he was almost done.

“I didn’t want to wake up so early. Probably because I drank a lot of water last night and was woken up by the need to pee,” Tang Feng said somewhat embarrassedly.

Hearing this, Su Xiaoli couldn’t help but lower her head.

Tang Feng placed the prepared breakfast on the dining table.

After breakfast, Su Xiaoli called Liu Dong.

“May I speak with Mr. Liu of Jingdong Mall?” Su Xiaoli asked.

“Yes, who’s this?” Liu Dong’s voice came through.

“My name is Su Xiaoli, the president of Huaxing Investment Company,” Su Xiaoli introduced herself.

“An investment company? What can I do for you?” Liu Dong became interested upon hearing her identity.

Recently, he had been looking for suitable investment institutions to finance.

After all, the little money he had wasn’t enough to rapidly develop Jingdong Mall.

He needed the power of capital.

“I’m interested in investing in Jingdong Mall,” Su Xiaoli didn’t beat around the bush and got straight to the point.

“To be honest, many institutions are interested in investing in Jingdong Mall right now! We’re in the process of selection! If you’re serious, you can come over, and we can talk,” Liu Dong said.

“When are you available?” Su Xiaoli inquired.

“Anytime,” Liu Dong replied.
