Chapter 325: Money is More Plenty Than Ideals
"No loan sharks, right?"
Looking at the ashamed expressions of the three people, Zhou Anan seemed to see herself when she first started her business in her previous life.
Back then, he secretly ran a training class in partnership with others, using up his credit card to the maximum without his parents' knowledge.
But he was luckier than the people opposite him. He took a summer course at that time and paid back the 20,000 yuan he had charged to his credit card.
However, the three people on the opposite side lost all their money.
"No, no, we will never borrow money no matter what. Loan sharking is too horrible."
Qi Liang, the chairman and the biggest investment failure, waved his hands repeatedly.
When he was most desperate, he also had this thought, but was persuaded by others.
Furthermore, they have already taken so much money from their parents and relatives. If they borrow at high interest rates and cannot pay it back, it will really bring disaster to their families.
"Then let's put it this way. In addition to the 700,000, I will add another 400,000 so that you can pay off your previous debts. Since you want to work for me, I can't let you go hungry."
Smiling and waving his hands, Zhou Anan said generously.
To establish Weike and make it bigger and stronger, Zhou Anan needs a loyal and reliable team.
The three young people in front of us are obviously childish, full of ideals and passion. They have not yet been assimilated by society and are the best candidates for training.
Give some sweet treats, talk about dreams, and everything will be settled.
"No, no, we just need to pay the other people back for their wages, and we can pay them back slowly with our own wages."
It was rare to meet an investor who was willing to invest money. Qi Liang absolutely could not let the other party suffer any loss, so he hurriedly rejected the other party's proposal.
Although I really want it in my heart, I have to have principles in life.
When we were discussing the acquisition earlier, they agreed that the price was only 700,000.
Men, they spit and nail.
Although the other two had eager eyes, they both agreed with Qi Liang's words.
"It's settled. Just consider it as compensation for your salary. We want to build an Internet group, and we must ensure that you veterans have no worries."
Zhou Anan did not allow the other party to refuse and did not want to waste time, so she made the final decision.
It’s good to be a boss. You give money to employees and they have to accept it.
"Well, if you want to give it to us, you only need to compensate us 339,950, not 400,000."
Seeing that the investor was so strong, Qi Liang added hesitantly.
“…”
Zhou Anan almost laughed out of anger as she looked at the three young men's persistent eyes. "I'll use the remaining money to improve your food, and give it to the girls... You don't have girlfriends yet, right?"
"No."
At this question, Qi Liang and the other two shook their heads in unison.
If you haven’t achieved success in your career, why do you need a girlfriend? She’ll just be a burden.
“.”
Looking at the calm expressions on the three people's faces, Zhou Anan felt a little jealous.
Poor programmer.
After finalizing the general direction, Zhou Anan asked the company to send a car to take a few Internet company partners who did not have cars to check out their location.
If you are going to spend millions, you should always check the quality of the item first.
Accompanying them were a female lawyer from the Blue Whale Entertainment Legal Department and two employees from the Logistics Department.
As this involves a large project with an uncertain future, Zhou Anan attaches great importance to this acquisition.
Zhou Ananke has never had the experience of directly acquiring a company, so he must be prepared for any eventuality.
Whether we can win the game early depends on this wave.
Mingliu Network Company, the name sounds very impressive, but the location of the company is a bit...
It's not bad, but it's not too bad. It's just a four-story house in the suburbs near Yushan, covering an area of about 200 square meters. The total area can't be said to be small.
The four big characters "Celebrity Network" are hung above the main door on the first floor. If it weren't for the furnishings, one would have thought it was a small Internet cafe.
"The conditions are a bit shabby, please don't mind, Boss Zhou."
After seeing the high-end office of Blue Whale Entertainment, Qi Liang, the former chairman, said somewhat embarrassedly.
Originally, they were planning to rent an office space in the CBD, which seemed more upscale, but when they asked about the price and felt their own pockets, they backed out.
I originally planned to move to the CBD once the company grew bigger.
The development was good at the beginning, and a company was willing to pay two million to acquire their company, which meant that their net worth increased four or five times, but several of their partners refused.
After that, they waited for an investor who was ready to invest millions, but just as they completed the expansion, the investor went bankrupt.
Soon after, the click-through rate of the website, which had been developing well, inexplicably dropped, and advertisers that the company had brought in cancelled their contracts one after another.
The company suddenly reached a freezing point.
Two of the partners left sadly for some reason, leaving the three of them struggling to support the company, borrowing money from everywhere to keep it afloat.
Previously, they had approached countless investors, but no one was willing to invest.
When they were ready to give up, someone was willing to buy the company. They agreed without thinking and did not dare to ask for too much.
"It looks okay. Do all the people in your company live here?"
When walking up to the second floor, Zhou Anan looked around the somewhat messy office and nodded casually.
There were more than a dozen four-person desks there, and two rows of computers were still making buzzing sounds. The dozen or so people sitting in front of the computers all looked sleepy.
How about it? It looks a bit like a small Internet cafe where people stay all night.
"Yes, because we couldn't pay the salaries, in order to save costs, everyone gave up their original rental houses and lived here at the company."
Speaking of this, Qi Liang felt sad and tears came to his eyes.
"It's really not easy. Don't worry, conditions will get better in the future."
Looking at the crowded computer desks in the other rooms, Zhou Anan nodded.
"Hello, please have some water. Boss, is this the investor?"
The young girl came over with a glass of water and handed it to the young new boss, then quietly came to Qi Liang and asked in a low voice.
"Um."
Nodding, Qi Liang felt that it was a bit difficult to say that he had sold the company.
They have been working so hard to hold on until now. Why? Just to keep the company going and for everyone to move forward together.
"Really, how much did he decide to invest?"
The young girl asked excitedly after hearing what the eldest brother said.
"Anyway, everyone's salary for the previous few months will be made up."
After giving an ambiguous answer, Qi Liang came to the big boss and said, "Boss Zhou, everyone is here. Do you want to say a few words?"
"OK."
Looking around and seeing those curious eyes, Zhou Anan nodded.
"As you all know, I am a new investor in Mingliu Network. I will say a few things. First, after I invest in Mingliu Network, I will not change the existing management. Second, all the previous unpaid wages of everyone present will be paid. Starting from next month, everyone's salary will be increased by 20%. Third, the company will move to a new office location, so we don't have to squeeze into this small house. In addition, the company will provide corresponding housing and transportation subsidies. Fourth, I hope that everyone will work together to develop Mingliu Network into a listed group. I want to see that when we go to Nasdaq to ring the bell, we will all be billionaires."
Without any long speech, Zhou Anan went straight to talking about the measures to be taken after the investment.
Everything else about the future is false.
Money is the real thing.
Just as Zhou Anan saw, when he talked about salary increases and subsidies, everyone's eyes brightened and their spirits became much stronger.
Perhaps, ideals can temporarily inspire everyone to move forward.
However, what supports everyone to go long term is the pursuit of material things.
There have never been saints in this world.
Without the subsidies from his seventy-two disciples, how would Confucius have had the money to travel and study?
Money is richer than ideals.
"Thank you, boss."
After the new boss finished speaking, the lively Zhang Yiqi immediately clapped her hands.
