Mou Guozhong wanted to disgust Fang Yuan and snatch food from his mouth at the same time.

Unexpectedly, I lost my own money.

From opening so many branches, to offering free trials, and even hiring internet trolls to do marketing.

I invested a total of 100 million yuan, but didn't make any money at all.

All the franchise fees paid by franchisees were invested.

Didn't even make back the original investment.

The renovation problem arose due to lack of funds.

Once the business was exposed by the media, it closed down for restructuring, customers stopped coming, and its capital chain was cut off.

The valuation dropped from several hundred million to thirty million.

There is even room for further decline.

Also because he could not see the possibility of making a profit, Mou Guozhong stopped investing.

Anyway, he is not the legal person of this project, so just let that legal person take the blame.

Now, Fang Yuan proposed to acquire the simulated driving company, which could be regarded as a small loss of blood to Mou Guozhong.

Although it is a loss, the loss can be smaller.

There was a ruthless look in Mou Guozhong's eyes. He also thought that even if the company was delisted, it would not be cheap for Fang Yuan.

It’s a pity that his project of blasting the Himalayas now requires a huge amount of money.

All the partners that had been agreed upon before no longer paid any attention to Mou Guozhong.

The only one he can rely on is himself.

If it wasn't a critical moment, Mou Guozhong would not have cut off the capital investment in the simulated driving bar.

"The kid from the Fang family really hit my aorta with his knife."

Mou Guozhong knew that if he didn't cut off his arms, he might not be able to get back even the 20 million.

"Tell them that they can acquire the company, but they must let the kid from the Fang family be there in person."

After saying this, Mou Guozhong hung up the phone.

He frowned, feeling that he was stuck in a quagmire and unable to struggle.

The project of blasting the Himalayas requires trillions of dollars in funding, and it also requires building connections with the higher-ups.

If you can cooperate with them, it would be the best way. You won’t have to invest too much money, and you can even get a bank loan.

But since his superiors forbade him to do so, Mou Guozhong had to bear everything by himself.

Just as Fang Yuan said at the dinner table, this project is not recommended.

Mou Guozhong's self-esteem was also severely hit in this project.

He thought about meeting with Fang Yuan and having a chat to see if the young man had any other ideas.

…………

Jiang Guoguo received a call back from Simulated Driving. She did not expect that the other party would offer a price 30% lower than the market price.

In other words, the acquisition that was originally priced at 30 million now only requires 21 million.

That's a lot of money saved.

The other party required that the boss Fang Yuan must be present when signing the contract.

Jiang Guoguo didn't think much about it and immediately replied to Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan agreed without giving it much thought.

It’s a good opportunity to learn from the management of the simulated driving bar and ask for advice in person.

"Finally, finally there is a team that can lose money. I must ask them how they lose money."

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day of the acquisition negotiations.

Fang Yuan got up very early, and he couldn't hold back his excitement any longer.

He couldn't understand one question: why he always made money in the end even though he wanted to lose money.

Which link in the process went wrong?

When they arrived at the agreed meeting room, many people from the other side were there, but only Fang Yuan and Jiang Guoguo came from Peiguang Investment Co., Ltd.

"This must be Mr. Fang, he is truly a hero from a young age. He is so capable at such a young age, I really admire him!"

The other party's management started to flatter Fang Yuan, who felt a little flattered.

No wonder the other party was able to become a member of the management. At least in terms of flattery, he did know that Zhu Lu, Guan Yingying and Jiang Guoguo were learning from him.

etc……

Fang Yuan suddenly had an idea.

"Oh, I see. It takes a flattering management team to ruin a project."

Fang Yuan nodded, and then looked at the manager with a look of admiration and appreciation.

The other manager didn't expect that Fang Yuan would look at him like this. He was secretly delighted. Could it be that Director Fang was impressed by his talent?

Mr. Fang, do you know my story?

Or is it that my face is full of stories?

After a few pleasantries, they got down to business.

The manager of the simulated driving bar is named Zhang Mingyi.

He didn't expect that Mou Guozhong was late.

But after a while, he felt relieved.

This is Mou Guozhong's personality, he likes to put on airs.

He was late on purpose just to show off in front of the young man Fang Yuan and demonstrate that he was an experienced and successful entrepreneur.

Comparing Fang Yuan and Mou Guozhong, Zhang Mingyi hoped to work under a boss who respected talent, was smart and capable, had a good grasp of strategies, was polite and humble.

"Sorry, our boss is stuck in traffic and may take a while to get here."

After all, Zhang Mingyi is still working under Mou Guozhong, so he has to clean up Mou Guozhong's mess.

Fang Yuan didn't care whether the boss came or not, after all, the boss was a hands-off person.

A boss cannot decide whether a company will lose money or not. Whether it can lose money depends mainly on how the employees under him work.

Fang Yuan came here today to learn how to lose money, not to exchange experiences with the other boss.

The acquisition negotiations began and the two sides started discussing some details.

"Director Fang, as for the acquisition part, we can only sell the stores we directly operate. The franchise stores are the ones we signed through other companies. According to the law, they are not the ones we can sell now."

After listening to Zhang Mingyi's explanation, Fang Yuan understood.

They signed the franchise contract with another company to prevent the franchisees from suing their simulated driving bar in court later.

It is a common way for franchise companies to escape legal responsibility.

It's a pity that I can't buy more of them, but there is no other way.

If they don't want to sell, you can't point a gun at their heads and force them to sell.

"Director Fang, does your company have any other requirements?"

Zhang Mingyi asked Fang Yuan, he wanted to know if the other party wanted to bargain further.

Zhang Mingyi was prepared. If the other party continued to bargain, he would find all kinds of excuses to refute them.

Unexpectedly, Fang Yuan did not play by the rules.

"If I acquire you, can I let all your original staff stay?"

This sentence actually stumped Zhang Mingyi.

Normal acquisitions are just about acquiring a brand. All the employees inside are kicked out, and their own people are allowed to come in and take control of the company.

And Fang Yuan actually wanted to take over all the original employees.

why is that?

Isn’t he afraid of being difficult to manage?

For a moment, Zhang Mingyi and others were confused.

Fang Yuan scratched his head, thinking, is this difficult? If I ask, the other party will be silent?
