Lü Qiuyi led her team to execute the acquisition.
This time, Lu Fan chose Yatian Automobile Group, which was owned by his "old friend" Wan Yaxin.
"Holy crap, this Asia Pacific Group blindly followed the new energy trend, and what kind of weird car did they end up making?"
"It's absolutely blinding! All those massive ads before made it sound so amazing, I thought the myth of domestic cars had come true again. This Yatian Motors isn't just making a comeback, it's turning the world upside down!"
"With no sales this time, is Yatian going to go bankrupt?"
"They were just second-rate to begin with. Since they couldn't compete with others, they resorted to imitating others poorly, and they ended up making something that was neither fish nor fowl. If they didn't go bankrupt, who would?"
Seeing the overwhelming negative comments online, Wan Yaxin smashed her computer and phone.
After that, he arrived at the factory area with a bewildered look in his eyes.
The factory, which was usually bustling with activity, was now eerily quiet, as if haunted.
The car model he had placed so much hope in was now sitting in a sorry state in the factory area.
It was simply appalling.
From its exterior design to its interior and features, it's garbage in every way.
Old Li, the gatekeeper, shook his head with pity at the former boss's destitute state, even though he was still receiving his wages.
Even though Wan Yaxin went bankrupt, he could still say that even a broken boat has three thousand nails. He was just an old gatekeeper, and his livelihood for the rest of his life depended on that gatekeeper's salary.
Old Li thought for a moment, then came over with his hunched back to persuade him:
"Oh dear, Mr. Wan's new employer is coming soon. Look at you... I shouldn't have let you in in the first place. You should go home quickly, don't make this old man's life difficult."
Wan Yaxin's eyes were red.
But now, the entire car factory, along with all of Yatian Group's assets, have been packaged up and sold to Fanyue Group by Wan Yaxin.
He no longer has the right to reminisce about his defeat here.
When Wan Yaxin finally left, his back was even more hunched than Old Man Li's, as if he had aged thirty years overnight.
When Lu Fan came to inspect the factory area, he was already mentally prepared.
He just hadn't expected it.
The problems at Yatian Group were far more serious than he could have imagined. Wan Yaxin's entire success seemed to have remained frozen in time, perhaps a decade or so ago.
This group primarily manufactures small cars, with little production of medium-sized or large-sized vehicles.
Even the small vehicles are all business models; there are no sports cars or luxury cars at all, showing absolutely no brand awareness.
If it doesn't go bankrupt, who will? The golden age of the oil car industry is long gone.
The new car that Wan Yaxin had high hopes for was nothing more than a brand-new pile of junk in Lu Fan's eyes.
If the standard for mass production is a perfect score of 100.
The new car that caused Wan Yaxin's Waterloo may not even meet the passing grade.
When Lu Fan came to inspect the newly acquired factory area, Zhang Qingyi accompanied him, reporting on the work to the boss as they walked:
"The marketing department has evaluated the models left over from the Yatian Group and said they can continue to be sold."
"This can be considered open source, Mr. Lu, what do you think?"
After all, when Wan Yaxin was liquidating his assets, he also mortgaged this batch of unsold new cars to Fanyue Group at a super low price.
That's almost the same amount of money you'd get from selling scrap metal.
To everyone's surprise, Lu Fan scoffed and laughed after hearing her report.
"Didn't we accept it at the price of scrap? Let's just treat it as scrap."
Zhang Qingyi, who was following closely behind, almost didn't stop and bumped into Lu Fan, who suddenly stopped.
She looked puzzled and surprised.
"Mr. Lu, why?"
It's not like there's no sales; offering a lower price could clear out some inventory. Zhang Qingyi felt that if he were the CEO of Fanyue Group, he would definitely agree to this proposal.
That's why she couldn't understand why President Lu disagreed.
Why wouldn't he do something that makes money so easily? Well, the reason Mr. Lu gave was quite unusual:
"1. Because I don't want this kind of garbage to exist in the product catalog of our group."
Zhang Qingyi gasped, nearly choking on his own saliva: "Cough cough, President Lu..."
Lu Fan seemed to have guessed what she was going to say, so he gestured for her to stop talking.
"Alright, we've arrived at the factory. Let's talk about it when we get back."
Zhang Qingyi looked up as he spoke and, just as President Lu had said, they had already arrived at the factory gate.
After driving around the factory area, Lu Fan was clearly very satisfied with its construction.
"Not bad, at least the place is big enough."
Despite Wan Yaxin's lack of business acumen, he has managed to create a chaotic mess for the car company.
However, the layout and flow of traffic in the factory area are still quite reasonable.
Lu Fan looked around but couldn't find any major flaws:
“At least it saved on renovation and construction costs, and it saved a lot of trouble.” As he spoke, he instructed Zhang Qingyi to inform the employees of this car factory: “Is it the same as the one in Lingnan? The same people from the original car factory?” Zhang Qingyi nodded: “The human resources department said that no one has been moved. They also asked Brother Li to check it out. The information is all here.”
Lu Fan took it and flipped through it briefly.
