Jingzhou, Dream Realization Ventures.
Meng Chang put away his cell phone with a calm expression on his face. He was very shrewd, and no one could tell his true emotions.
Meng Chang had been eating melons on the way here.
This weekend, the news of Boss Pei heading to Shanghai alone and defeating Long Yu Corporation and IOI had already spread like wildfire on the internet. Without a doubt, he had broken out of the circle.
Meng Chang might not be interested in the E-Sports industry at all, but he did not dare to be negligent because it concerned Boss Pei. He paid close attention to it.
The more he understood, the more amazed he was!
Meng Chang carefully analyzed Boss Pei's operations in the IOI qualifiers this time and realized that Boss Pei was really meticulous. He did not make any mistakes at all and was ahead of Long Yu Corporation in every step.
What was even more amazing was that many steps in Boss Pei's entire plan seemed to have a huge element of luck.
One coincidence could be said to be luck, but what about many coincidences?
If this was all planned by Boss Pei, then Boss Pei would be very terrifying. This meant that his ability to strategize had already exceeded most people's imagination.
If this was not planned by Boss Pei and was all luck, then Boss Pei would be even more terrifying because this meant that his luck was heaven-defying.
You can't provoke a person who is meticulous in his calculations, because he will use the difference in intelligence to crush you. You can't provoke a person with heaven-defying luck, because once you provoke him, bad things might happen to you.
It was precisely because Boss Pei was so famous that many timid scammers kept a respectful distance from him. They did not dare to approach him at all.
Who did not know that Boss Pei was unparalleled in his intelligence and knew what he liked and hated?
With so many precedents, even big companies like Dayak Corporation and Long Yu Corporation could not withstand it. Ordinary thieves would not dare to stroke Boss Pei's whiskers.
Meng Chang was in a similar state now. He felt very guilty!
He had taken money from Dream Realization Ventures in the beginning only because it was the easiest to take money from them.
However, during this period of time, from the news conference to the stationing of finance, to Boss Pei's pursuit of investment … Meng Chang felt that things were not that simple.
He felt that Boss Pei did not seem to be paying attention to the Cold-Faced Lady on the surface, but he had seen everything clearly in secret. All his tricks did not escape Boss Pei's eyes.
However, the problem was that Meng Chang had already reached this step.
If he had known that things would develop to this point, Meng Chang might have chosen not to take Boss Pei's money from the beginning.
However, the Cold-Faced Lady's shop had opened now. It was famous, and its valuation was rising. Meng Chang was already trying his best to contact all the major capitalists. He was just one step away from his final goal.
To Meng Chang, it was impossible for him to give up now.
Just like a gambler, his chips were already on the table, and the cards in his hand were not bad. At this time, if he did not see the other party's cards, he would definitely not give up.
The Cold-Faced Lady's situation had changed ever since that inexplicable blunder last week.
Last week, Meng Chang had invited some investors to inspect the Cold-Faced Lady's shop. However, for some reason, the situation in the kitchen of this shop suddenly happened frequently, leaving a very bad impression on the investors. The investment that was supposed to be a success fell through.
Of course, these investors would not completely look down on the Cold-Faced Lady just because of a small matter like the kitchen. However, once their psychological expectations were discounted, the investment conditions would naturally become harsher.
Meng Chang did not accept these harsh conditions at all. Thus, both parties entered a stalemate again.
On the surface, both parties seemed to be evenly matched, but in reality, the pressure was all on Meng Chang.
The investors had money in their hands. It did not matter how long they wanted to wait. However, Meng Chang was burning money at every moment!
He had increased his efforts to burn money previously. He had booked the venue for speeches and various marketing activities. The Cold-Faced Lady would be trending every now and then, and her popularity would increase.
However, all of this was maintained by burning money.
The Cold-Faced Lady would reveal her true colors once the money was burned out.
What's more, Meng Chang could not slow down the pace of burning money. That was because once the popularity subsided, investors would become even more suspicious of the Cold-Faced Lady's true situation.
Thus, Meng Chang had to continue looking for money. Otherwise, the Cold-Faced Lady's capital chain would become very dangerous.
After much thought, he could only look for Boss Pei.
Meng Chang could sense that most investors' attitudes were already very relaxed. As long as Boss Pei gave him another sum of money and the Cold-Faced Lady lasted for a while longer, he would definitely be able to get more money from other investors. He would be able to continue playing this game.
However, Boss Pei had just given him six million yuan after all. It had been less than half a month.
Meng Chang was a little worried that he would make Boss Pei unhappy if he burned money too quickly.
Thus, Meng Chang decided to make a trip to Jingzhou personally to convince Boss Pei in person after making sufficient preparations.
He had already carefully prepared the powerpoint. At the same time, he had also worked hard to turn the data of the Cold-Faced Lady's two shops into profits.
For example, he could use a longer depreciation period for the various assets of the shop. He could also use word games to remove a portion of the marketing expenses from the cost. That way, the Cold-Faced Lady would be in a very healthy state of profitability on the powerpoint. Its prospects were great.
Coupled with the Cold-Faced Lady's current brand awareness, recognition, hot searches, and other data, it was impeccable in all aspects.
What's more, strictly speaking, Meng Chang was not faking it. He had indeed used the correct numbers. However, he had modified and modified the powerpoint. Coupled with his own words, it was easy to mislead him.
Of course, Meng Chang did not think that he could deceive Boss Pei 100%. He was not that arrogant.
However, Meng Chang felt that he could at least give it a try. He had used real data. Boss Pei knew more or less about the Cold-Faced Lady's financial situation. Meng Chang had never thought of ways to get kickbacks from the Cold-Faced Lady. He had been wholeheartedly thinking about raising the valuation to cash out.
Even if Boss Pei was not satisfied with this, he would at most not continue investing. Could he tear him down on the spot?
That was very unlikely.
Thus, Meng Chang came to Jingzhou after making sufficient preparations and decided to give it a try.
Meng Chang met He Desheng when he arrived at Dream Realization Ventures. The two of them shook hands warmly.
"Wait a while. Boss Pei has already agreed to meet you. However, he just returned from Shanghai not long ago. He's on his way here," He Desheng said.
Meng Chang quickly nodded. "Of course, Boss Pei gave me this chance out of his busy schedule. I'll definitely perform well!"
He Desheng did not say much. He asked someone to serve tea. The two of them chatted in the guest room while waiting for Boss Pei to arrive.
Boss Pei arrived about half an hour later.
Meng Chang quickly went forward and said politely, "Boss Pei! Welcome back from Demonic City! The legendary story of a small boat traveling thousands of kilometers and a million soldiers taking off their battle clothes is really admirable! "
Meng Chang might have been taking money from Boss Pei over the past few months, but he had never had a chance to interact with Boss Pei face-to-face.
It could only be said that Meng Chang's level was too low previously. It was not worth Boss Pei taking the time to meet him.
However, now that the Cold-Faced Lady's valuation was getting higher and higher, its performance in the enterprises invested in by Dream Realization Ventures could be said to be outstanding. It gradually gained Boss Pei's favor and attention.
Thus, Meng Chang was not stingy with his praises when he saw Boss Pei.
In his opinion, Boss Pei had rushed to Shanghai alone this time and defeated Long Yu Corporation without using a single soldier. That should be something to be proud of.
As the saying went, one did not slap a smiling person. Many people said that they did not like to flatter others, but who would not be happy if they were flattered?
However, what Meng Chang did not expect was that Boss Pei's expression collapsed instantly. If he had an indifferent attitude just now, he was obviously unhappy now.
Meng Chang could not help but feel a chill in his heart.
What was going on? Did I say something wrong?
That can't be?
Meng Chang was extremely puzzled. Boss Pei did not even like to hear an ordinary compliment?
The corners of Pei Qian's mouth twitched slightly. The more he looked at Meng Chang, the more he disliked him.
He had just returned from Shanghai and his anger had yet to dissipate. Yet, he was rubbing salt on my wound again!
However, Pei Qian was a magnanimous person after all. He did not say much and only entered the guest room with Meng Chang and He Desheng.
When Pei Qian was still on the high-speed rail, He Desheng had already called to report that Meng Chang had arrived in Jingzhou and hoped to report the situation of the Cold-Faced Lady face-to-face.
Pei Qian did not think too much about it and immediately agreed. After all, he had been paying attention to the Cold-Faced Lady previously. He was very worried that the Cold-Faced Lady would suddenly start to make profits one day and let him earn a lot of money. He was prepared to escape at any time.
On the other hand, Meng Chang knew nothing about this. He thought that Boss Pei must have thought very highly of the Cold-Faced Lady since he agreed so readily. He could not help but feel more confident.
He Desheng played the powerpoint on the projector. Meng Chang brewed his emotions briefly and began his performance.
"Boss Pei, I came to Jingzhou this time mainly to report good news to you! The Cold-Faced Lady shop has turned its losses into profits! While I can't say for sure that this business model will succeed, it definitely means that the Cold-Faced Lady brand has taken a solid step on the road to success! "
Pei Qian was about to take a sip of tea to moisten his throat when the teacup stopped at his mouth.
"Losses have already turned into profits? So fast? "Pei Qian's voice was seventy percent surprised and thirty percent terrified.
Meng Chang could not help but feel delighted when he saw Boss Pei's reaction.
Boss Pei's reaction was huge. This meant that there was a chance!
He quickly continued, "That's right, Boss Pei. You can directly see the current situation of the Cold-Faced Lady from this chart. Our financial situation is very healthy at the moment. As long as we continue to increase our investment, we will definitely be able to obtain generous returns …"
Meng Chang was very well-prepared. He had even made the data into various bar charts and pie charts. It was intuitive and clear at a glance.
Pei Qian looked at He Desheng doubtfully and asked, "Are these data … all accurate?"
He Desheng hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Meng Chang's actions of forcefully creating profits might be a little flashy but most companies would more or less do something similar in order to make their financial reports look better. It could not be considered fake.
Boss Pei asked if the data was accurate and did not ask anything else. Of course, He Desheng answered truthfully that the data was indeed accurate.
Meng Chang was instantly pumped up when he saw Boss Pei's reaction. He was prepared to perform superbly.
It looked like as long as he performed well today, he would definitely be able to win Boss Pei's favor. It would not be a problem for him to get a few million yuan of investment!
However, Meng Chang was about to continue when he saw Boss Pei raise his hand to stop him.
"Alright, you don't have to continue."
Pei Qian turned to look at He Desheng. "Sell all our shares of the Cold-Faced Lady!"
