Just as Jeon Tianyu spoke up to this point, a girl's surprised voice suddenly sounded. "Young Master Liam, what are you doing here?"
Liam turned around and took a look. The girl's appearance was delicate and beautiful, pitiful looking. Who else could it be but Jeon Somi? He instantly smiled and said, "Aren't you here too, what's there to be surprised for?"
Somi jogged to Jeon Tianyu's side and softly said, "Dad, how was your discussion?" After which she immediately introduced him to Liam. "Young Master Liam, this is my father. I, I told you previously about him..."
"Heh heh, I heard everything." Liam asked, "Why not you tell me in detail? To be honest, I'm quite curious. By rights, your family's company is on quite a large scale. How did it end up in this state?"
Jeon Tianyu smiled bitterly and shook his head. He slowly said, "Speaking of which, this is but another proof of the phrase, 'the business world is just like fighting a war."
"At first, the sales for my Might Beverages were quite good. At that time, the sales result every year was on the rise, and you could say that I was flushed with success. However, the good times didn't last long. Just as my company was slowly growing, another brand called Fierce Bull beverages suddenly appeared on the market."
"From the time it entered the market, this Fierce Bull beverages was on a roll. Everywhere was flooded with its advertisements, causing quite a few beverage companies to close down. Actually, this is very normal. This is the market, after all; some people win and some people lose. Since this Fierce Bull got popular, the stocks of other beverages brands naturally couldn't be sold out. Originally, my Might Beverages could be considered to be one of the larger brands in the market, so the impact was powerful. However..."
Speaking up to this point, Jeon Tianyu sighed again and said, "Bad things always come together. Fierce Bull beverages suddenly got injected by a large sum of capital tens of millions of yuan. It's size immediately expanded, it's advertisements were put up in many stations in the golden timing slot, it's sales performance rose more and more. On the other hand, my goods couldn't be sold out, the capital couldn't recover, and now even the money for advertisements also ran out."
"For food and beverages business such as mine, advertisements are vital. Once the advertisements stop, spenders will quickly forget about us, then it will get harder and harder to get our capital back. Under this vicious cycle, the time before we close down will not be long."
After he explained it in simple and easy terms, Liam understood his meaning perfectly.
This was how it was for the food and beverages industry the competition was intense to the point of cruelty. It was a matter of life and death. Especially for the advertisements, it couldn't stop. Otherwise, without enough publication, spenders will quickly forget that such a company even existed.
In his previous life, Liam knew of quite a few factories that were doing pretty well, but because their advertisements didn't keep up, spenders had forgotten about them in just half a year to a years' time. Then, they either ended bankrupted or struggled to survive under the onslaught of new companies.
The situation of Jeon Tianyu's company was likely to be of the same. No wonder Somi didn't attend the last few class gatherings, it was probably because that she didn't have the mood to go out and play when her family was facing such a big problem.
Liam sucked in a deep breath, suddenly turned around, and said to Nayeon, "Nayeon, help me check the background of this Fierce Bull."
"OK." Nayeon immediately turned around, went to a quiet corner, and made a call.
"Uncle Jeon, don't worry, we can think of something together." Now that the information on the opponent wasn't enough, Liam could only comfort him first.
Very quickly, Nayeon came back. However, this time, the expression on her face was quite interesting, like she was crying and laughing at the same time. "Young Master, this Fierce Bull beverage, is... is..."
"What is it?" Liam curiously asked.
"It's a property under Anbao Manoban's name." Liam didn't forget to remind Liam. "Which is that Young Master from just now. Also, the 25 million yuan worth of capital was obtained by selling those estates that he sold to you."
"What the heck!" Hearing this, Liam almost jumped up. "No wonder he was in such a rush to sell those estates, so that's the reason. This fellow is really vicious."
Tzuyu helplessly shrugged her shoulders. "See, I told you off that time when you were squandering. Now let's see what you can do."
"What can I do?" Liam laughed and said, "Being a prodigal, I must buy two bowls of beancurd, drink one bowl, and pour one bowl. Companies must buy in pairs and use one to play with the other. Now, it's obvious that both companies can't be bought. The only solution is for one of them to play the other until it dies."
Tzuyu sighed softly. This was the first time she heard such a saying...
After saying this, Liam looked at Jeon Tianyu and said, "Uncle Jeon, don't worry. Although this Anbao Manoban is from my family, our relationship is far from being close. I guess that he's probably hoping that I can die as soon as possible. Therefore, we're on the same side now. We might as well play a big one this time, heh heh."
"Play a big one?" Tzuyu curiously asked, "How to play?"
"That is simple." Liam looked at Jeon Tianyu. "Uncle Jeon, how much did Somi borrowed from me previously?"
Jeon Tianyu said, "A total of 3,850,000 yuan."
Liam snapped his fingers and said, "Erase the behind digits to zero, take it as three million yuan. I will invest another three million in exchange for 10% of your company's share. Then, we will be on the same side. What do you say?"
Tzuyu smacked her forehead. "I have never seen someone erasing to the zeros like this..."
Being someone who was able to create such a big company, Jeon Tianyu wasn't a long-winded person. He instantly decided without another word. "OK!"
Liam laughed and said, "That settles it then. This is what we shall do first..."
Their heads immediately came together. After hearing Liam's plan, Tzuyu was the first to collapse on the floor in laughter. "Liam, this plan of yours is totally hee hee, hahaha, it's too funny!"
Everyone else in the group also lost themselves in laughter.
...
At the same time, on the other side of the party.
Tai Yajing hugged Anbao's arm and tenderly said, "Anbao, just now you said that you want to be my boyfriend, is that true?"
"How can that be false?" Anbao gave a cheap laugh and touched her breast. After which, his eyes gradually moved towards her pair of long and sexy legs. He grinned and said, "Your legs are still so long, just that I'm not sure if some other man has touched them after that time?"
"Good gracious, you're so mean." Tai Yajing objected in a seductive tone. "Other than you, could I have possibly let anyone else touch even a hair of mine? Don't change the topic, quickly tell me if you really mean it when you said that you wanted to be my boyfriend."
Anbao laughed loudly and complacently said, "Since you didn't have relationships with any other man, then I shall take you in. There isn't much problem in that."
"Yup, you're really my darling." Tai Yajing instantly started to act coquettishly. After being intimate for a while, Tai Yajing asked, "Anbao, your Fierce Bull beverages is doing very well now. Do you have any new plans?"
Anbao moved his mouth close to her ear and softly said, "Is there a need to ask? After I expand the company again this time on a larger scale, I will have some power to speak up during my Manoban Family's meeting. Liam Manoban, that prodigal, humph. He's already 18 this year. By that time, I will make him suffer!"
Tai Yajing secretly kissed Anbao before curiously asking, "Speaking of which, why do you dislike him so much? He's just an incapable prodigal."
Anbao smiled maliciously and viciously groped Tai Yajing's leg. He said in a deep voice, "Don't be a busybody, don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
