At the same time, in the guest room of Dream Realization Ventures, Pei Qian was reading the thick stack of information that He Desheng had submitted.
These were all companies related to Dream Realization Ventures. Some of them had already invested money, and some were still waiting in line to invest.
There were also some companies that had already invested money but sold all their shares after the company started making profits.
Pei Qian looked at the information of these companies and felt a little shocked.
So many companies were starting to make money?
Fortunately, He Desheng had followed his instructions and sold them as soon as they made money without any delay.
He would not be able to make much money as long as he sold them early.
He Desheng saw Boss Pei frown and relax from time to time. He did not know what Boss Pei had seen from the information, but he did not ask further.
He probed, "Boss Pei, why don't we call Jing Haibing over and ask her to explain the details to you?"
Pei Qian shook his head. "There's no need to trouble yourself."
The information was relatively simple and concise. Pei Qian could completely understand it. What's more, Pei Qian could invest as he pleased. It would be good if he lost money, but it did not matter if he made a small profit. Thus, he felt that there was no need for Jing Haibing, who was in charge of finance, to specially make a trip to explain. It would be too troublesome.
Pei Qian flipped through the companies that had already made money and sold their shares. He said casually, "Some of these companies that have made money are developing better and better, while others are failing."
Of course, Pei Qian did not feel the pinch for the companies that had made money. However, Pei Qian felt a little regretful for the companies that had just withdrawn their investments from Dream Realization Ventures.
Pei Qian felt that this was a little strange.
Dream Realization Ventures continued to invest in all the companies that did not make money. All the companies that Dream Realization Ventures withdrew their investments from were companies that had already made profits.
Since they had already made profits, it meant that the company had already found a healthy profit model. As long as nothing unexpected happened, it would be able to slowly develop and grow.
However, some of the companies did not develop and grow after Dream Realization Ventures left. Instead, they suddenly died. That was a little strange.
He Desheng smiled slightly and said, "That's right, Boss Pei. They're all making profits. Some companies are really making profits. Some companies are like the Cold-Faced Lady. They're making profits through some financial methods. The financial reports look good, but in fact, the company's situation is not good. They're trying to use the financial reports to pull in more investments."
"They're both divesting. The former has already passed the most difficult period and will definitely get better and better. The latter, on the other hand, has revealed its true colors."
Pei Qian was furious. "Can't we have some trust in each other?! Isn't it better to be a little less scheming and more sincere? "
It didn't matter if one's ability wasn't up to par, but if one's heart wasn't in the right place, then that would be like shooting oneself in the foot!
These companies that were putting on airs could have continued to receive blood transfusions from Dream Realization Ventures if they had honestly admitted that they were incurring losses. However, they insisted on saying that they were making profits. Now, Dream Realization Ventures had withdrawn its investment.
This meant that without the most basic integrity, even spending Boss Pei's money would not be your turn!
He Desheng sighed and said, "That's right. Everyone knows that business is based on integrity, and treating people with sincerity will always be rewarded. But in reality, under the temptation of benefits, how many people can really do that?"
"I have to say, Boss Pei, your move is brilliant!"
"I'll sell the profitable companies. On one hand, I'll help those companies that really want to do something practical and form a good relationship with them. On the other hand, I'll kick out those companies that are fake profits and have ill intentions to avoid risks."
"We might be earning less money, but we'll be killing two birds with one stone. We'll be killing two birds with one stone!"
Pei Qian: "…"
Killing two birds with one stone?!
I don't need to kill two birds with one stone at all. I just want to spend more money. Is that so difficult?!
Pei Qian put aside the information of the companies that were profitable and sold. Then, he continued to look at the information of the companies that were still incurring losses and Dream Realization Ventures continued to inject blood.
"Eh? What's going on with this company? I remember that they spent a lot of money previously and had a huge marketing campaign. Why did they cut two-thirds of their marketing expenses and use it to make products? "
Pei Qian had also read the information of other companies when he invested six million yuan into the Cold-Faced Lady previously. He had some understanding of them.
The few companies that liked to advertise, do marketing, and spend money quickly left a deep impression on him.
Originally, these companies were big spenders and had been the focus of Pei Qian's attention. However, the latest information showed that they had either cut off a portion of their marketing expenses, reduced their costs, or spent their expenses on polishing their products and recruiting talents.
That was because Dream Realization Ventures had sent finance personnel to these companies. Thus, the content was clearly written on the information and presented to Pei Qian.
Pei Qian was a little unhappy that he had spent less money.
He Desheng sniggered. "Boss Pei, it's obvious that you killed the chicken to warn the monkey! Which company would dare to mess around with the Cold-Faced Lady's example? "
A confused question mark floated above Pei Qian's head.
?
Warning the Cold-Faced Lady?
Warning the Cold-Faced Lady?
What are you talking about?
Every word was clear, but when put together, Pei Qian could not understand it at all.
He Desheng continued, "The companies that continue to incur losses and continue to take money from Dream Realization Ventures are divided into two categories."
"The first type is making products seriously. However, they don't have enough money, ability, or resources. If these companies continue to take money from Dream Realization Ventures, recruit talents, and fight for resources, they will slowly become better. The company's founder feels that he has done his best and has a clear conscience. Naturally, there's no need to change anything. "
"The second type is more or less related to Meng Chang's habits."
"They did not seriously make products and spent all their money on marketing. Some people want to raise the valuation to cash out, while others might not be smart enough to distinguish between products and marketing."
"The cases of Meng Chang and the Cold-Faced Lady have obviously played the role of making an example out of others and intimidating them!"
"Even someone as capable and smart as Meng Chang was severely punished by you, Boss Pei, because of his bad intentions. He became a judgment debtor and lost his reputation, what more small fries like them?"
"If they don't change, they will end up like Meng Chang!"
"So, these smart entrepreneurs all panicked."
"Many small companies that were queuing up for us to invest in have voluntarily withdrawn. Those that have already received investments have all changed their previous behavior. They did not dare to spend money lavishly on marketing. Instead, they focused more on the product itself."
"Obviously, these people have ulterior motives. They don't want to become the next Meng Chang. The Cold-Faced Lady's situation is like the Sword of Damocles floating above their heads, making them tremble in fear and not dare to have any other thoughts! "
"The Cold-Faced Lady's battle can be said to have decided the entire situation in one battle. Previously, many entrepreneurs thought that Dream Realization Ventures' money was the easiest to take. However, now, they realized that while Dream Realization Ventures' money was easy to take, the consequences of taking it and not doing anything were also the most severe!"
"That way, even if Boss Pei shifts your focus to other industries, Dream Realization Ventures can continue to operate perfectly. No one would dare to come here to cheat money!"
Pei Qian fell silent.
He had not expected a small Cold-Faced Lady to have such a profound impact.
The worst situation that Pei Qian could think of previously was to sell the Cold-Faced Lady's shares and make a huge profit, increasing the pressure on him to spend money.
However, from the looks of it, it was not just a matter of making a huge profit.
Objectively, the Cold-Faced Lady had the effect of making an example out of others. The chances of Dream Realization Ventures losing money by investing in the future would be greatly reduced!
Pei Qian sipped his tea silently, filled with mixed feelings.
Previously, Pei Qian had thought that it was a 100% foolproof strategy when he set the policy of 'sell if we earn, continue investing if we lose' for Dream Realization Ventures.
In the end, a series of things had happened. Pei Qian's expectations had completely failed. What's more, this policy had perfectly achieved the opposite effect!
Pei Qian threw a thick stack of documents on the coffee table and drank two sips of tea silently.
"That's it for today."
"I'll give you another sum of money later. Just invest as you see fit."
Pei Qian had already thought of giving up on Dream Realization Ventures. Thus, he did not have too many requirements for He Desheng's investment.
However, giving up was giving up. He still had to give up. It was a little difficult to burn money just by relying on Mission and Choice.
As the saying went, one should not put all their eggs in the same basket. Dream Realization Ventures had to share some of the pressure.
As for how to earn money in the future … he could only think about it in the future. He had to get through this cycle first.
He Desheng looked at his watch. "Alright, Boss Pei. It's time to meet Meng Chang. He should be here soon. I'll go and welcome him now."
He Desheng left. Pei Qian sipped his tea in the guest room as he pondered about life melancholically.
The plan was perfect at the beginning. How did it end up like this?
Life was really unpredictable.
Before long, Meng Chang arrived.
Pei Qian was a little surprised to see Meng Chang's dispirited look.
Why? Was he depressed after not seeing him for some time?
Pei Qian had originally thought that Meng Chang's mental fortitude was extremely strong. Even if he became a loser, it would not affect his mental fortitude. However, from the looks of it, that was obviously not the case.
Pei Qian poured a cup of tea. "Come, sit down and have some tea."
Meng Chang was filled with vigilance, but at the same time, he was a little afraid.
He did not know what Boss Pei was up to.
You were the one who invested money, you were the one who scammed me, and you were the one who called me here to give me a job.
Meng Chang felt like he was being toyed with by Boss Pei. He could not guess what Boss Pei was going to do next. This feeling made him feel very uncomfortable.
Meng Chang had always felt that he was one of the smartest people until he met Boss Pei.
He had seen through all his plans and schemed against him so badly behind his back. Yet, he could still smile and treat him to tea as if nothing had happened … This Boss Pei was too terrifying!
If not for the fact that Meng Chang wanted to earn more money and get rid of his identity as a loser as soon as possible, he would definitely not come to meet Boss Pei again. That was because he would feel immense pressure just talking!
