Wan Chu’er’s eyes were glued to the computer screen, her hand incessantly moving the mouse, her brows furrowed more tightly the longer she looked.
Although Thunder’s official website did not have any concrete information, it was obvious at a glance that it was more exquisite and more powerful than Hailang.
She truly had been too full of herself in the past, relying on her extra life’s experience. She did not pay enough attention to the user experience, always feeling that functionality was more important. Now, Thunder had given her a slap in the face.
It was evident that Thunder’s products were developed after thoroughly studying Hailang’s products, they were even more refined and improved.
That’s why Thunder could suddenly snatch away so many users, not just by burning money, but their product itself also had a significant advantage.
Finally, Xiao Bai’s call ca through.
Wan Chu’er picked up the phone; two hours had passed—1 hour later than the ti Xiao Bai had previously ntioned. It seed the situation was not optimistic.
"You already know the situation, right?" Xiao Bai’s voice sounded very tired as he spoke directly.
Wan Chu’er nodded: "Yes, I asked Xiaoxiao and am currently looking up Thunder online."
Xiao Bai said: "We must find new investnts as soon as possible. I t with an investnt institution today, and they asked for the sky—a fifty percent stake from the get-go.
Damn it! I see right through these investors now; they’re all vultures! Bloody vultures!" Xiao Bai began cursing, and Wan Chu’er’s heart felt even heavier.
Fifty percent?
Xiao Bai had poured so much effort and so many sleepless nights into this company, and she was well aware of that. Moreover, the company carried his ambitions and aspirations, even his honor, discarding everything at Wutong and coming alone to Beijing to bear it all.
If they gave away fifty percent, it was almost like handing over the company.
So, she understood Xiao Bai’s anger.
Wan Chu’er took a deep breath and said: "Second Brother, where are you now? Let’s et and talk."
Xiao Bai gave an address, and they hung up the phone.
Wan Chu’er took a deep breath, then closed her eyes to think for a minute. After a minute, she opened her eyes, quickly reviewed all her assets, then thought about the contacts she could utilize.
Within just five minutes, she had roughly formulated a plan, then went to the living room to tell Jiang Kechu she had to go out, and Jiang Kechu accompanied her to change clothes.
"Is there really a problem? If you need money, I can borrow tens of millions from friends," Jiang Kechu said gently. "Also, if you need any contacts or connections, let know if you can’t handle it yourself. Maybe a friend of mine will co in handy."
Wan Chu’er nodded, smiling: "Yes, if I need you, I’ll definitely not be courteous."
Then she took her purse, drove away from Jinse Garden, and headed straight to the skyscraper where Hailang Technology was located.
Once at the company, she went straight to the President’s office on the top floor. It was calm inside the company; no one was panicking. Everyone went about their business as usual, even busier than before.
This was all due to Xiao Bai’s capable managent.
When passing by the President’s secretarial area, she nodded to Jiang Xiaoxiao and then knocked on Xiao Bai’s office door.
"Co in."
She pushed the door open to see Xiao Bai sitting behind a large desk, looking down at so docunts with a very serious expression.
"Second Brother."
Hearing Wan Chu’er’s voice, Xiao Bai put down the docunts in his hand, stood up from behind the desk,
"Co, let’s talk over there." The two went to a sitting area inside the office.
Wan Chu’er asked: "What’s the background behind Thunder?"
Xiao Bai raised his eyebrows, showing an appreciative expression, then said: "The Crown Prince, plus capital from Wall Street in M country. Your senior from the first university is leading the charge, a high-caliber graduate with overseas experience in M country’s Silicon Valley, having worked as a senior consultant for K company."
No wonder!
Wan Chu’er gasped. Any one of these aspects was sothing they couldn’t compete against.
The Crown Prince, which ant current administration influence.
Although Old Sir Zhong had a certain amount of influence, and so of the old-tirs in Beijing respected him, after all, Old Sir Zhong had retired. When facing those in power, they would always co up short.
Capital from Wall Street in M country, aning massive amounts of money that they could burn recklessly and buy users without any concerns.
Even the one leading the front, whether in background, technology, or resources, could leave Xiao Bai in the dust.
So, Hailang’s current predicant was not unjust at all.
After a while, Wan Chu’er said: "Stop the cash bleeding to Yan Hui’s side."
Xiao Bai gave a wry smile and said: "Our company has been established for three years, burning money in the first two, and we were just starting to see a little return today. Then this damn Thunder cos along. The money from Yan Hui is likely to go down the drain. I won’t take more from him; I’m afraid it’s a bottomless pit."
Wan Chu’er nodded, then asked: "What’s the relationship between Lin Jiayi’s husband’s company and us?"
"They wanted to invest, but they asked for too much, outright lion’s mouth. I imdiately refused. They’re not giving up and are still pestering our people."
I see, Wan Chu’er suspected that the Xin family’s ddling in Hailang’s affairs must have sothing to do with Lin Jiayi.
To say that Lin Jiayi was purely kind-hearted, rely lending a hand, Wan Chu’er wouldn’t believe it if she was killed. Lin Jiayi was the most hypocritical; she would not bother unless there was a benefit for her.
"Second Brother, what are you planning to do now?"
Xiao Bai rubbed his temples and replied: "Find a reliable investnt institution to co in. I can’t just admit defeat after finally getting to this point. I must struggle a bit more to live up to the brothers who have followed ."
As for finding investnt, Wan Chu’er did not plan to ask further; Xiao Bai was more knowledgeable than her in this matter. She took out a small bag from her purse and pushed it towards Xiao Bai.
"Inside here is all my assets, 110 million. The property in M country could probably be sold for about two million US dollars; the property deed of the villa you’re living in is also inside."
Xiao Bai looked at Wan Chu’er in astonishnt.
Wan Chu’er nodded affirmatively at him, and Xiao Bai felt a heavy mood for a mont. After a while, he placed his hand on the little bag.
"Chuchu, Second Brother doesn’t want to admit defeat. Second Brother wants to fight for it. Even if it really collapses in the end, there’ll be no regrets."
Wan Chu’er smiled slightly: "I know, and I don’t want our efforts to be swallowed up. After all, it was who pulled you from Wutong over here, and the company was my inducent for you to start."
"This amount of money is nothing; if we lose it, we’ll just make it back again."
"Great, we truly are siblings." Xiao Bai forced a smile and said, "Don’t worry, as long as Second Brother is here, I will definitely make even more money for you, and also for Yan Hui; I owe him a lot of money too."
