Chapter 34: The company is losing money, isn’t that even better?

Looking at the transfer amount of 1,500.

Zhao Lingling realized in an instant that this was the meal allowance Assistant Shen had just mentioned.

"Sister Ling, it seems the money for the meal allowance has been transferred over."

After reading the message, Zhou Chen looked up and said.

"Hmm, don't overthink it. Let's just work from home tomorrow."

Zhao Lingling made a direct decision because she really couldn't figure out what the company would want to scam her for.

Money? It didn't seem like it, after all, their salaries and meal allowances had been paid to them in advance.

People? That was also impossible; since they had been told to work from home, how could they be scammed?

…

Cangxue Games.

"General Manager Meng, there is no other way. Tianlong has changed a lot of content consecutively, but there is still a massive loss of players. Nowadays, most of the game's revenue comes from the top-ups of those few big spenders."

Zheng Hongyun sat on the sofa with a dejected expression. The game Tianlong was originally the company's trump card; it was once a huge hit in the gaming scene and was also the company's main source of income.

However, in the past two years, the company made some wrong decisions. To increase profits, they introduced a large number of aristocratic weapons into the game, which directly broke the game's balance.

This directly caused the gaming experience for some low-to-mid-tier players to become very poor, leading them to choose to quit the game.

By the time the company reacted, the game's reputation had already plummeted, and it was too late to make adjustments and rectifications.

After all, they weren't the only ones with this type of game; trying to win back the lost users was undoubtedly as difficult as ascending to heaven.

With their trump card game falling from its pedestal and the company having no new games to fall back on, the company's revenue remained in a state of negative expenditure.

Coupled with the fact that they spent a huge sum of money to create a new game last year, which had a very poor reception, the game's revenue could only maintain the current game's operations.

As time went on, the company's funds quickly entered a state of tension, to the point that if no one acquires the company now, it will likely announce bankruptcy before long.

Meng Lei rubbed his temples fiercely. He had been paying attention to this matter for the past two days, but alas, it was a case of mending the fold after the sheep had been lost—it was too late.

"There is no other way. We can only hope that someone on the company trading platform will take over, otherwise…"

He stopped halfway through his sentence, which finally turned into a long sigh.

Zheng Hongyun also let out a sigh. Although Meng Lei didn't finish his sentence, he knew what was going to be said next. It was nothing more than talk about bankruptcy.

"I don't know if anyone will take over." It had been listed on the company trading platform for a long time, and no one had taken over yet.

The next day, Changfeng Garment factory, office.

"General Manager Chen, happy cooperation!" Li Maode closed the contract that had just been signed and shook hands with Chen Mo enthusiastically.

In less than a month, the other party had already leased two workshops from him; he was undoubtedly a big client. He couldn't afford to be careless.

"Happy cooperation!" Chen Mo smiled and simultaneously transferred the 450,000 rent directly to Li Maode.

Looking at the transfer information, Li Maode smiled even more brightly. He had been a park manager for so many years, and Chen Mo was undoubtedly the most straightforward client.

Watching Li Maode leave, Chen Mo had just sat down in his chair, preparing to rest for a moment, when Tang Qiu's call came through.

Seeing this, Chen Mo hurriedly answered the phone. "Attorney Tang, how is that company we're looking to acquire? Can it be acquired?"

"It can be acquired, but there are some details I need to explain to you, which require a face-to-face discussion."

"Good! Let's meet at that same coffee shop as last time to talk." Chen Mo agreed directly.

Hanging up the phone, he took Shen Rou and had Yang Dahai drive to the coffee shop.

"Attorney Tang, sorry to keep you waiting." Arriving at the coffee shop, Chen Mo quickly found where Tang Qiu was and walked over with Shen Rou, while he instructed Yang Dahai to wait in the car.

"It's fine, I also just arrived not long ago." Seeing Chen Mo approach, Tang Qiu stood up and said with a smile. However, she quickly noticed Shen Rou behind Chen Mo and looked puzzled. Could she be General Manager Chen's girlfriend?

Chen Mo noticed Tang Qiu's gaze and took the opportunity to introduce her. "This is my newly hired assistant, Shen Rou." "This is Tang Qiu, Attorney Tang."

Upon hearing this, Shen Rou hurriedly greeted her politely.

Tang Qiu smiled and nodded, but her gaze toward Chen Mo became somewhat strange. A company with only twenty or thirty people actually equipping itself with an assistant; this Chen Mo must have some ulterior motives.

"What would Attorney Tang like to drink?" After sitting down, Chen Mo asked. "Anything is fine." Tang Qiu said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo signaled the waiter and ordered three cups of the coffee shop's signature coffee.

"General Manager Chen, these are some materials I've gathered about Cangxue Games. You can take a look." Without waiting for the coffee to arrive, Tang Qiu pushed the prepared materials toward Chen Mo.

Chen Mo took the materials and quickly glanced through them. Sure enough, just as he had guessed, the company's profit status was in a state of loss. Not bad, isn't this exactly what he needs?

It can help him spend the System Funds and ensure there isn't much income. Moreover, as long as he acquires this company, he can use internal connections to return to the game and wash away his previous shame. This is simply too perfect.

"How is it?" Tang Qiu asked after seeing Chen Mo finish reading. "Not bad." Chen Mo nodded with a smile.

Hmm… Tang Qiu's expression froze instantly; she hadn't expected Chen Mo to give such a positive evaluation of a company on the verge of bankruptcy. However, thinking back to the experience of acquiring the Garment factory last time, she felt relieved. This General Manager Chen always plays by his own rules.

After thinking about it, she still voiced the concerns in her heart. "This game company is currently in a state of loss, as you have seen. If you take it over, it is very likely that you will lose money."

"And there is another problem. This company has a total of 34 employees. If you acquire this company, do you intend to dismiss these employees or keep them?"

"…" Tang Qiu explained the pros and cons of the company in detail; as for how Chen Mo chooses, that was not something she could interfere with.

Chen Mo listened and nodded; of course, the 34 employees would be kept. Now he could spend a large sum on wages again. He nodded without hesitation. "No problem, it can be acquired."

Seeing this, Tang Qiu nodded. She had come to know Chen Mo a bit, so she wasn't too surprised by this answer.

"Then it just remains a matter of price. Based on my understanding of this company, it is already on the verge of bankruptcy. If you aren't in a hurry and discuss it slowly with the other party, you might be able to take it for less than 1.5 million."
