Chapter 35: President Chen Is Hinting at Him

"No, I'm in a hurry. 1.5 million is acceptable."

When Chen Mo heard that Tang Qiu wanted to help him negotiate the price down, he quickly spoke up to stop her.

He had finally found an opportunity to spend money; how could he let her negotiate the price down?

Tang Qiu looked at Chen Mo seriously. She really couldn't understand what the young man across from her was thinking; he could clearly save money, yet he insisted on spending more.

Even for a second-generation rich kid, there was no need to be this wasteful.

In the end, she shook her head helplessly.

"Alright, since President Chen has already made his decision, we can contact the person in charge on the other side to discuss the acquisition matters."

Rather than calling it a discussion, it was undoubtedly just a matter of meeting up to handle some paperwork.

After all, regarding the price, Chen Mo was buying directly at the listed price.

This meant that matters which usually required a lot of haggling had no delays here at all.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Attorney Tang."

Chen Mo said, expressing his thanks.

With the matter of acquiring the company discussed, the group did not stay long in the coffee shop.

"President Chen, are you really going to acquire that game company?"

In the car, Shen Rou couldn't help but ask worriedly. She had also looked over the materials for that game company in the coffee shop.

She knew full well that there was nothing wrong with what Attorney Tang said; if they acquired that company, there was a high probability they would lose money.

"Mm!"

Chen Mo nodded.

"But that company has been in a state of loss, and I just calculated it—if President Chen really wants to establish a game company, 1.5 million is more than enough to start a new one."

Shen Rou couldn't wait to express her thoughts.

Establishing a new company is surely better than a money-losing one, right?

Hearing this, Chen Mo secretly complained to himself: how could starting a new company compare to the speed of spending money by acquiring an existing one? Plus, it was worry-free and convenient.

However, he spoke with profound meaning.

"If one can turn a loss-making company into a profitable one, wouldn't that be more fulfilling?"

Turn losses into profits?

Don't even think about it; it's impossible to turn a profit in this lifetime.

Having a money-losing company continue to spend money for him—wouldn't that be wonderful?

Hearing this, Shen Rou stared blankly at Chen Mo's profile. She hadn't expected President Chen to think this way.

That's right, relying on one's own efforts to turn a company in a loss-making state into a profitable one—just thinking about it felt very fulfilling.

Her own thinking was still too narrow, only caring about immediate gains and losses.

It seems she needs to work even harder; otherwise, if she can't keep up with President Chen's rhythm, this assistant position might be given to someone else.

Shen Rou secretly cheered herself on.

…

"Did you memorize everything I said?"

Wei Yan looked at the young man in front of him and said, feeling a bit of a headache.

This morning, Assistant Shen notified him that the company had hired a new salesperson and asked him to mentor the person.

He had thought it would be an experienced salesperson, but upon meeting, he realized it was a young man with no experience at all.

It wasn't that he looked down on newcomers, but the company was currently at a critical juncture, urgently needing a large number of orders to bring funds back into the company.

But for a newcomer with no resources, it was very difficult to pull in orders for the company in a short time!

"I've memorized it, Brother Yan."

Wu Yu nodded obediently.

"How about this: you follow me around for a few days first and see how I do things."

Wei Yan rubbed his head; there was no other way, he had to take him along for now.

He sighed helplessly. It was hard enough that President Chen hadn't assigned him any tasks so he could finally focus on running business, but now a newcomer had been suddenly assigned to him.

"Thank you, Brother Yan."

Wu Yu quickly thanked him and handed a cup of water to Wei Yan.

"Brother Yan, you must be tired from talking, drink some water."

Wei Yan took the cup and nodded to himself. Although this young man was a newcomer, he was decent in his conduct. If trained well, he could become a good salesperson.

"Let's go. There's still some time today, and I happen to have an appointment with a client, so I'll take you along to meet them."

As he said this, he patted Wu Yu's shoulder and pushed open the door to walk out of the sales office.

Wu Yu quickly followed behind.

"Hello, President Chen!"

Just after leaving the office, Wei Yan saw Chen Mo and the others returning from outside.

"Going out?"

Chen Mo looked at Wei Yan, who was preparing to leave, feeling a bit wary. Would this guy try to stir up trouble again?

"Oh, taking young Wu out to meet a client."

Wei Yan reached out and pointed at Wu Yu behind him.

Chen Mo looked at Wu Yu behind Wei Yan. He remembered this young man; he was the salesperson he had personally selected.

He had just graduated from university and had no sales experience.

Taking such a newcomer to meet a client, he probably wouldn't be able to pull in any orders.

However, he couldn't keep carrying him forever. What if, after a while, he ends up training an inexperienced salesperson into an experienced one? That wouldn't be good.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke up.

"Mm, it's good to meet them. However, business ultimately relies on oneself. Only by experiencing difficulties firsthand can one grow quickly."

"I understand, President Chen."

Wei Yan understood instantly upon hearing this, and couldn't help but feel a bit moved.

That's right, he had been able to reach his current position by stumbling along the way; no one had ever mentored him.

Flowers in a greenhouse cannot withstand the wind and rain.

Mm, President Chen is hinting at him!

He would take young Wu to familiarize himself with the process today, and let him run on his own tomorrow. Anyway, he had plenty of resources in his hands, and he couldn't handle them all alone, so he would distribute a portion.

"We're leaving now, President Chen."

After greeting him, Wei Yan quickly walked away with Wu Yu.

"Understand? Understand what?"

Chen Mo looked at the departing Wei Yan, his face blank with confusion.

…

Cangxue Games,

"Old Meng, there's news on the company trading platform. Someone wants to acquire our company."

Zheng Hongyun rushed into the office, looking excited.

"What's the situation?"

Meng Lei asked impatiently, hearing the news brought by Zheng Hongyun.

"Someone just called. They have an intention to acquire our company and will come over tomorrow to discuss the details."

"What about the price? Did they say how much they're offering?"

"No, they just called to express acquisition interest and didn't mention anything else."

Zheng Hongyun calmed down a little and realized that when he heard the news of the acquisition interest, he had been too excited and had forgotten to ask what price the other party was offering.

Although they had set a price on the trading platform, he understood that once the acquirer learned about their company's situation, they would definitely find a way to negotiate the price down.

"Should I make a call and ask?"

"Forget it. Since they said they'd come tomorrow for detailed discussions, we'll talk when we meet tomorrow."

Meng Lei waved his hand. Even if he called to ask, it wouldn't be possible to confirm the price over the phone, so it would be better to talk when they meet tomorrow.

However, he knew in his heart that the acquirer would definitely negotiate the price down.

But even if the price is a little lower, it would be acceptable.

What he cared about most was the employees currently working at the company. If the acquiring party didn't intend to keep these employees, they would face the crisis of unemployment.
