Chapter 147 I invested in this project

Chen Mo's action of picking up food paused as he listened to Xu Zhengming's words.

A money-losing project?

Isn't that exactly what he wanted?

Pet Park,

It really doesn't seem very reliable.

And since those investment companies have already rejected this project, doesn't that clearly confirm that this project won't make money?

One should know that those investment companies have professionals to evaluate projects.

Goodfellas,

He was just worrying about where to find a money-losing project, and he didn't expect that by doing an act of kindness, he would discover such a "reliable" project.

This must be the reward for doing good deeds.

At this moment, looking at the slightly tipsy Pang Tao, he found him more and more pleasing to the eye.

"Brother Pang, do you have any plans for this project?"

"Yes!"

Pang Tao immediately perked up when he heard Chen Mo's inquiry.

"I have five mu of land in the suburbs, about 3,000 square meters, and I plan to build a small Pet Park there first, and then expand outwards little by little, centered around that park."

"My goal is to develop the Pet Park to the scale of Disney, so that no matter how many stray cats and dogs there are, they can all be accommodated."

"Mr. Chen, are you interested in investing?"

The goal is as big as Disney?

Pang Tao's ambition is still very grand; if it really is to develop little by little to the size of Disney.

Then it's a sustainable money-burning project!

Chen Mo secretly calculated in his mind, not counting the cost of building the park for now, but the daily food for stray cats and dogs is a big expense, and since a Pet Park is to be established, these pets must be kept clean and safe. These stray cats and dogs must all be vaccinated with various vaccines and protective measures.

Moreover, after the park is established, it can no longer be considered a rescue station, but a company.

Then it's impossible to ask for volunteers to help; it requires its own employees.

Medical expenses, nursing fees, employee salaries.

Adding these items up can be said to be a huge expense.

"Mr. Chen, don't listen to Pang Tao's nonsense; his project is simply impractical."

"He's a bit drunk, don't mind him!"

Seeing Pang Tao trying to get Mr. Chen to invest, Xu Zhengming quickly explained.

"No, I think Brother Pang's project has great development prospects. Pet culture is so popular now, building a Pet Park is a very promising project."

Chen Mo's gaze bypassed Xu Zhengming and fell directly on Pang Tao, his palm lightly patting the table, saying decisively.

"Brother Pang, I'm investing in your project."

As the words fell, the Room instantly fell silent.

No one present took the Pet Park that Pang Hai mentioned seriously, only treating it as a joke at the dinner table.

But what they didn't expect was that Mr. Chen actually said he wanted to invest in this project.

Even the slightly tipsy Pang Tao looked at Chen Mo with an incredulous expression.

"Mr. Chen… Mr. Chen, do you really want to invest in this project?"

He just asked casually and never thought that Mr. Chen would invest in his project.

"Of course, I think your project has great potential. On Monday, bring the project proposal and come to my company to discuss the project investment."

Chen Mo said, taking out a business card and pushing it onto Pang Tao's table.

As for why it's Monday, it's because tomorrow and the day after are Saturday and Sunday, holidays.

It can only be scheduled for Monday.

"Mr. Chen, his project won't work. Several investment companies have already rejected his project, all stating that it doesn't make money."

Seeing this, Xu Zhengming quickly spoke up.

Mr. Chen donated so much dog food to them; he couldn't just watch him invest in a money-losing project.

"No matter, I think this project is feasible."

Chen Mo said with a firm attitude.

Trying to stop him from losing money, how could that be possible?

Seeing Mr. Chen's firm attitude, Xu Zhengming sighed and didn't continue to persuade him.

He thought to himself that he could only start with Pang Tao.

He couldn't just watch Mr. Chen jump into a pit!

The meal ended quickly.

Chen Mo and the two women, Tang Qiu and Song Xia, then went to see the stray cats and dogs adopted in the backyard.

Looking at those healthy and lively cats and dogs, they no longer had the state they were in when they were stray.

"So many cats!"

Song Xia held food in her hand and was instantly surrounded by a large group of cats, roughly counting about 30 of them.

"Brother Xu, with so many stray cats and dogs taken in, isn't anyone willing to adopt them?"

Chen Mo surveyed the cats and dogs in the backyard, noticing many breeds among them.

Such as Border Collie, Husky, Golden Retriever, all of these were present.

Dogs of these types should have people adopting them, right?

Xu Zhengming sighed when he heard this.

"We did organize adoption events before, and at that time, quite a few people did adopt cats and dogs."

"But later, after we conducted a follow-up investigation on those who adopted cats and dogs, we stopped organizing adoption events."

"If someone genuinely wants to adopt, we will also decide whether to let them adopt based on their circumstances."

"Why?"

Chen Mo looked at Xu Zhengming in confusion.

"Because a large portion of those who adopt are not genuinely fond of cats and dogs."

"According to our follow-up investigation, we found that many adopted pets were abandoned again and became stray cats and dogs."

"And the reasons for abandonment are bizarre: breaking up with a boyfriend and not wanting to keep it anymore, urinating and defecating everywhere at home, or thinking it's no longer pretty… and many other reasons."

Xu Zhengming paused here, revealing a helpless smile.

"Isn't it ridiculous? They claim to love cats and dogs, but they do the cruelest things."

"They don't truly like cats and dogs; they just need a pet to play with them. Once they're tired of playing, or they don't like it anymore, they just throw it away."

Chen Mo fell silent as he listened to Xu Zhengming's narration, looking at the cats and dogs in the yard, a large portion of them must have been abandoned this way.

He suddenly felt a little choked up. He could help these stray cats and dogs by donating money, but he couldn't change people's hearts.

Such people will always exist.

Phew!

Chen Mo exhaled, letting out the pent-up frustration in his heart.

"Brother Xu, I wonder if I can adopt 5 dogs to take back."

"Mr. Chen, why adopt so many dogs?"

"I have a factory, and I can adopt a few dogs to take back to help guard the factory. But don't worry, since I choose to adopt them, I won't abandon them."

He couldn't change others, but he could demand it of himself.

Moreover, as long as he adopted the dogs, the leftover food from the cafeteria could be fed directly to them.

This would directly eliminate Li Shen's boxed lunch business, and he would indirectly lose a source of income.

This was simply a win-win-win situation.
