Chapter 830: Boss Pei’s Seven Deadly Sins
“What Meng Chang did not expect was that his cheap tricks did not escape Boss Pei’s eyes at all.”
“At the news conference for all investors, Boss Ma of Tengda asked two soul-stirring questions: Is the cold noodles delicious? What does’ multidimensional fusion ‘mean?”
“This was a direct hit on Meng Chang’s soft spot. It’s equivalent to pointing out the two huge hidden dangers of the cold-faced lady in front of all the investors: bad taste, excessive marketing.”
“Obviously, Boss Ma has two purposes for sending a message to Boss Pei: one is to remind investors of the risk of the cold-faced lady, and the other is to remind Meng Chang that the current cold-faced lady is just an empty building. She will definitely fail. It’s not too late to make changes now.”
“It’s a pity that the high-spirited Meng Chang did not realize the severity of the warning this time. He continued to follow his script stubbornly.”
“However, what he doesn’t know is that he would not be walking on the script that he had thought of, but the script that Boss Pei had arranged for him.”
“Boss Ma’s questions at the news conference gave Meng Chang a blow to the head. He could only spend all his money on the Cold-Faced Lady’s shop and use marketing, popularity, and beautiful financial reports to exchange for investors’ trust.”
“However, the process was not smooth because the nail that Boss Ma buried at the news conference was still hurting the investors. The investments that Meng Chang could obtain had harsh contents such as valuation adjustment mechanism agreement. Meng Chang still lacked the bargaining chips to bargain with the investors.”
“At that moment, Meng Chang fell into a dilemma. He knew that the Cold-Faced Lady was still far from what he wanted. If he took the hot money now, there would definitely be a huge problem.”
“It’s not too late for Meng Chang to give up now.”
“However, at that moment, Boss Pei extended a helping hand again and invested six million yuan. This allowed Meng Chang to once again possess bargaining chips in hand to deal with the other investors and his confidence was reignited.”
“However, in hindsight, Boss Pei’s move should be considered ‘playing cat and mouse’. If not for this investment, the Cold-Faced Lady’s ending might have been a flash in the pan, disappearing without a trace. Meng Chang’s entrepreneurship would have failed but he would not have any debts. The two million yuan that Boss Pei invested in the beginning would have been wasted.”
“However, the facts have proven that while Boss Pei’s money seemed easy to get, it’s actually not easy at all.”
“The confident Meng Chang launched a grand marketing campaign in a more high-profile manner. His dominance made the observing investors waver. The investors were afraid of missing the Cold-Faced Lady’s train and were already considering removing the harsh conditions. The mentality of both parties gradually reversed.”
“Meng Chang felt that he was one step away from his goal. He was within reach. Thus, he came to Jingzhou with a carefully prepared financial report once, hoping to get a last sum of money from Boss Pei.”
“As long as this sum of money was in place, other investors will follow suit. The Cold-Faced Lady’s valuation will reach an unprecedented height. Meng Chang would have many choices, such as selling to Quanmin Reviews and other food and beverage giants to exit.”
“However, Boss Pei only sneered after reading Meng Chang’s financial report. What caught Meng Chang off guard was that Boss Pei directly sold all the shares of the Cold-Faced Lady in his hands. He even sold them at a low price, causing the Cold-Faced Lady’s valuation to plummet!”
“Meng Chang is one step away, but the difference was like heaven and earth.”
“After that, Meng Chang’s actions were completely controlled by Boss Pei. When he saw that the Cold-Faced Lady was about to collapse, Boss Pei invested two million yuan to raise the price. When he saw that the Cold-Faced Lady’s condition was gradually improving, he sold all his shares.”
“Meng Chang fell into the mentality of a gambler. There are already too many chips on the table. He doesn’t want to give up because all his previous efforts would be wasted if he gives up. It’s as if the dawn of victory is right in front of him. However, no matter how hard he works, he’s still a huge distance away…”
“Boss Pei gave Meng Chang one last bit of hope before he completely destroyed his last bit of hope. Thus, Meng Chang, who had always been clear-headed, finally relaxed. After struggling for a long time, he took on an investment that had collateral responsibility. In the end, the Cold-Faced Lady ended miserably. Meng Chang had to bear millions of debt and could not recover.”
“It’s not difficult to discover that Meng Chang’s goal has always been the same looking at the entire process from Cold-Faced Lady’s creation to failure. We can’t guess what he’s thinking, but from his actions, it’s obvious that he doesn’t want to create his own fast food brand like he said. The writer reasonably suspects that his intention from the start was to increase the valuation and cash out.”
“However, Meng Chang used this method very skillfully and his eloquence was too good, so he successfully deceived the eyes of the investors. Or perhaps, some investors knew what Meng Chang was thinking but still invested money. They just had a wishful thinking and felt that they would not be the last one to hold the shares.”
“However, Meng Chang failed completely. He was like an unruly monkey, thinking that he had the 72 Transformations and the Fiery Golden Eyes. He fought thousands of miles and wanted to make a scene in the sky before retreating. However, he did not expect Boss Pei to be always watching him. No matter how hard Meng Chang tried, he could not escape from Boss Pei’s grasp!”
“Boss Pei obviously knows Meng Chang’s goal very well, but he still played the game with him very patiently.
“Boss Pei warned Meng Chang immediately when he realized that he had ulterior motives. When Meng Chang wanted to exit, Boss Pei gave him some hope. When Meng Chang was about to succeed, Boss Pei took drastic measures to completely destroy his hopes.”
“In the end, he held him down under the Five-Finger Mountain so that he won’t be able to make a comeback.”
“Some people might be confused when they see this: Does Boss Pei have a personal grudge with Meng Chang? Even if Meng Chang is suspected of cheating money from Boss Pei, wouldn’t it be fine as long as Boss Pei doesn’t give him money? Why go through so much trouble?”
“That’s why Boss Pei is different.”
Qi Yan could not help but nod when she read this.
Before reading this article, she did not know that the Cold-Faced Lady had such a complicated relationship with Boss Pei.
While Qi Yan had always been in charge of the Cold-Faced Lady’s marketing, she did not have much experience in other aspects. Basically, she was only carrying out the tasks assigned by Meng Chang.
Qi Yan used to work enthusiastically because she believed in the picture Meng Chang artwork painted. She thought that Meng Chang could really turn Cold-Faced Lady into the leading company of Chinese fast food and give all employees an extremely bright future.
However, she was too naive from the looks of it.
Obviously, Meng Chang had never considered the future of the cold-faced lady and these employees. He only had his own interest at heart from beginning to end.
This article described the battle of wits between Boss Pei and Meng Chang in detail. It looked very credible. However, the most important problem was as the author had said. Why would Boss Pei take the trouble to play with Meng Chang when he was so busy?
It was almost the same as playing the game in Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Perhaps Meng Chang himself could not figure out why Boss Pei was targeting him.
It was very likely that Meng Chang had become the monkey under the Five Finger Mountain precisely because he felt that Boss Pei did not have the time or the need to fuss over the millions.
Meng Chang had not been thinking about jumping out of Five Finger Mountain, but slipping out from the gaps available. He did not expect Boss Pei’s Five Fingers mountain to impregnable.
The last paragraph of the article analyzed Boss Pei’s intentions in detail.
“Let us consider something: What would happen if Boss Pei did not invest in Meng Chang? Would Meng Chang give up on his plan? Obviously not.”
“Meng Chang will only think that the time is not ripe and put the entire plan aside for now. He will continue to accumulate experience and resumes and wait for the next opportunity. When the time came, would the next investor still have the wisdom and ability like Boss Pei? I’m afraid not.”
“At that time, Meng Chang’s plan would be successful. He would successfully cash out, leave a pile of rubbish, gain fame and fortune, and become an outstanding entrepreneur.”
“Obviously, Boss Pei did not want this to happen. That’s why he took the time out of his busy schedule to completely cut off this possibility.”
“When encountering ferocious beasts on the road, you can ignore them and protect yourself, but you can’t stop them from attacking people. Only by subduing them and putting shackles on them would he be a hero!”
“Boss Pei’s move is killing three birds with one stone.”
“First, he made Meng Chang a judgment debtor and had his reputation ruined. After the Cold-Faced Lady failed, it would be extremely difficult for him to make a comeback. It would also prevent him from harming others;”
“Second, correct the chaos and put Cold-Faced Lady on the right track. Set an example for everyone through example. Make one thing clear: it’s useless to rely on marketing to run a business. The key is to be down-to-earth;”
“Third, this is also a warning to all entrepreneurs with bad intentions who want to cheat money from Dream Realization Ventures: As long as you operate seriously, it doesn’t matter if you lose money. However, if your motives were not pure from the beginning, you will be the next Meng Chang!”
“From this, we can see Boss Pei’s attitude towards people like Meng Chang.”
“All of Meng Chang’s actions are within the scope of legal permissions. Firstly, he doesn’t make fake accounts and secondly, he doesn’t engage in tax evasion. Whatever he did was completely legal.”
“Everyone wants to hack liars into pieces, but our country is a country governed by law after all. We still have to distinguish emotions, reason, and law clearly. No one can carry out justice on behalf of the law. That would be too arrogant and overbearing.”
“If Meng Chang violates the law, he will naturally be punished by the law. However, his problem is only in his business, so it’s most appropriate to use business methods to solve it.”
“I heard that Boss Pei gave Meng Chang a job when he was at his wits’ end. Obviously, it was not out of compassion but because he had other plans for him.”
“Now, I boldly predict that Boss Pei will use business methods to make Meng Chang suffer. The current situation is just the beginning.”
“As for the path that Meng Chang will take in the future. Will he wallow in self-pity and give up on himself? Or will he go through all the hardships and repent? His fate is in his own hands.”
