Chapter 525: Brothers Unite
Xu Yang exited WeChat and said to Zhao Yuxin, "Wife, I’m having dinner with Wang Xiaocong and the others tonight, planning to bring them in on the investment in Skynet Technologies. It’s a good time to talk. Do you want to come along?"
Zhao Yuxin shook her head, "No, you guys go ahead and chat. I’m going to have dinner with Yu Yan and the rest, I haven’t seen them since my accident, and this will be a good chance to catch up."
Xu Yang nodded, "That sounds good."
Zhao Yuxin took out her phone and called Shen Yuyan.
Soon, the call connected.
Shen Yuyan’s voice came through, "Yu Xin, you’re back from Haiyue Island, right?"
After being discharged, Zhao Yuxin had sent messages to her friends and they all knew about her situation.
Originally, Shen Yuyan had mentioned meeting up with Zhao Yuxin.
However, since Zhao Yuxin and Xu Yang went on a trip, they didn’t meet up.
During their trip to Haiyue Island, Zhao Yuxin and Xu Yang posted on their Moments every day.
They returned to Jiangcheng yesterday and also updated their Moments.
Zhao Yuxin said, "Mhm, I’m back. Let’s go out for dinner tonight, call all the girls."
Shen Yuyan replied with excitement, "Sure!"
Afterward, Zhao Yuxin sent messages in their group chat to discuss where to eat and what to have for dinner.
In a blink, evening arrived.
Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin each drove their own car out.
…
Xu Yang arrived at the Jubao Restaurant.
The Jubao Restaurant gave off the vibe of an ancient establishment from the outside.
Following the waiter’s lead, he made his way to the top-floor private room called ’Heaven.’
Jiang Yuheng, Su Wenbin, and Lin Junyi were already there.
"Everyone’s here already," Xu Yang said as he sat next to Lin Junyi.
"Wang Xiaocong hasn’t arrived yet. He said he’s already off the plane and on his way here, about half an hour out," Jiang Yuheng informed.
The group chatted over tea.
"Xu Yang, you mentioned a project we could invest in. What is it?" Jiang Yuheng asked.
They hadn’t invested together in a long time, and gathering again probably meant it was a promising project.
"Let’s wait for Wang Xiaocong to arrive so I don’t have to repeat it all over again," Xu Yang suggested.
"Fair enough," said Jiang Yuheng with a nod, then he changed the subject, "I heard from Old Wang, you guys acquired Ding Chang Auction House on Haiyue Island. Is there much potential in that auction house?"
Xu Yang explained, "It seemed like a good deal at the time, so we acquired it. There’s also the matter of the son of Asia’s wealthiest being involved; I didn’t like the idea of the auction house falling into their hands."
"I see now," Jiang Yuheng realized, "I’ve heard about that Asian tycoon’s son, Huang Baifu, from Wang Xiaocong too. Now the Huang Family is ruined, and the guy himself is in prison. Such a wealthy family gone just like that."
Xu Yang shook his head, "None of those Huang family members are good people."
While they spoke, half an hour passed and Wang Xiaocong arrived.
With Wang Xiaocong’s arrival, the dishes started to come out.
After three rounds of drinks and an assortment of dishes.
Jiang Yuheng urged, "Old Xu, tell us, what’s the project?"
"It’s a tech company that works on artificial intelligence robots..." Xu Yang began to describe the situation with Song Changqing’s Skynet Technologies. After researching the company and mentioning the alumni relationship with Song Changqing, he continued, "He’s offering thirty percent of the shares for a total of three billion.
I believe artificial intelligence holds great promise for the future, poised to change every aspect of people’s lives. Skynet Technologies is a leader in this field, and I think it’s worth investing. It’s up to you to decide. If you’re interested, let’s invest together. If not, then don’t."
While he hoped to have everyone on board for the investment so they could all make money,
such matters were still best left to the individual to decide.
If you like it, invest; if not, don’t.
Even if no one else invests, he can invest on his own.
Inviting everyone to invest together was purely to let everyone make money together.
Whether or not to seize this opportunity does not depend on oneself, but on them.
Wang Xiaocong immediately said, "What’s there to even talk about? Of course, I’ll invest. You said it’s a good investment, so I’m definitely in!"
Lin Junyi said, "That’s right, I’m also investing. Xu Yang is leading us to make money. If we can’t even see that, we don’t deserve to be Xu Yang’s brothers."
Jiang Yuheng said, "Xu Yang, for any project you believe in, I’ll follow without a second thought."
Su Wenbin said, "It’s the same for me. Although I don’t have as much money as you guys, I will participate in the investment as much as possible."
With everyone having expressed their position, that settled the issue.
Next was the question of the investment amount allocation.
Wang Xiaocong asked, "Xu Yang, there’s a thirty percent quota. How much are you allocating to us?"
Since it was a project Xu Yang was keen on, he was definitely expected to take the lion’s share.
No one had any objections to this.
They were already grateful that Xu Yang could lead them to make money. They had nothing else to say but thankfulness, leaving everything to Xu Yang’s arrangement.
Regarding this matter, Xu Yang did not shirk his duty, as he had already decided how much he would invest, "I’ll take half, fifteen percent, and you four can divide the remaining fifteen percent among yourselves."
Four people, and if each takes four, that makes sixteen, not enough to go around evenly.

Su Wenbin was the first to speak up, "I have less capital, so I’ll take three percent. The remaining twelve percent can be evenly split among the three of you, four percent each, how about that?"
It was true that he had the least funds.
Even Lin Junyi, the internet celebrity, had more than him.
Lin Junyi used to be a boss, and this past year he had become a super internet celebrity, making a ton of money from live-streaming e-commerce.
It was very easy for him to come up with four billion.
Jiang Yuheng and the other two exchanged glances and nodded, "No problem."
Having settled the allocation of the quotas, the group continued to eat and drink.
Around nine o’clock, they all departed, calling designated drivers to take them home.
Not long after Xu Yang got home, Zhao Yuxin returned.
Xu Yang said, "Wife, let’s invite Dad and Ru Yan over for dinner tomorrow. We haven’t seen them for a while. You don’t have to go to work tomorrow; prepare dinner in the afternoon."
Zhao Yuxin nodded, "Mhm, I was actually thinking the same. We’ve been traveling for so long, I miss Dad too. I’ll give him a call."
She took out her phone and called her dad, and Zhao Hai, of course, happily agreed.
...
The next day.
Xu Yang, along with Ma Yangrong, a lawyer, and an accountant, and the group of four including Wang Xiaocong, went to Song Changqing’s Star Technology Company.
The process was very simple, they checked the company’s operations and R&D department, had the accountant review the financial records, found no issues, and signed the contract.
Song Changqing was very pleased to have secured thirty billion in funding.
Especially since Xu Yang had brought in several investors like Wang Xiaocong.
Even if they encountered financial problems in the future, these investors should continue to invest, eliminating any worries about money.
"President Xu, rest assured, I’ll strive to develop a groundbreaking artificial intelligence robot as quickly as possible, to provide you with exceptional returns," Song Changqing said.
"We believe in you; otherwise, we wouldn’t have come to invest," Xu Yang nodded in response.
After having lunch, Xu Yang and his group left.
