NOVPUB"Wu Bin, I didn’t expect you to be so handsome!"
Just as Wu Bin’s hands trembled with regret, He Bingbing walked over and looked at him with admiring eyes.
Wu Bin chuckled bitterly to himself.
Handsome?
The moment he stepped out, he regretted it.
He didn’t know what came over him just then, to actually give up a twenty-million investment for the sake of his ideal, especially since it was the first investment offer!
He knew very well that people like Ge Xiancong obviously looked very rich. Without money or power of his own, how could he possibly compete with Ge Xiancong?
Wu Bin was just about to explain when to his surprise, Zhu Ling also nodded in agreement.
"Hmm, according to your humans’ standards, he indeed has a lot of courage."
Wu Bin’s mouth twitched at the corners.
Here we go again, what does she mean by ’according to your humans’ standards’?
Aren’t you afraid of giving yourself away?
The netizens in the live stream also started discussing.
"Brother Wu is indeed very handsome. Before this, I only thought that Brother Wu was a tough guy, but I never imagined he was also someone who was indifferent to fame and fortune!"
"Yeah, I misjudged Brother Wu. When he started his company, I thought he was going to leverage his popularity and traffic to make a quick buck. But it turns out, not only did he not do that, he even turned down such a huge investment to maintain his company’s independence. What a real man!"
"So what exactly does Brother Wu’s company sell? We die-hard fans have to support him somehow, or else how can we call ourselves Brother Wu’s fans?"
"It seems like some kind of takeout platform, they haven’t described it in detail, but it’s probably something about spending money to have others buy stuff for you."
"Isn’t that just errand running with red packets? That’s what I do for a living, honestly, there’s really no room for growth in this industry, it’s just burning money."
When Wu Bin conducted his market research, he also discovered that, although this timeline didn’t have super giants like Ali Tencent dominating yet.
There already were national takeout services, and they were quite stable.
As long as you could afford the price, you could have others bring you whatever you want, no problem at all.
So most people actually weren’t optimistic about Wu Bin entering this industry.
Before, netizens thought that Wu Bin had integrity and was tough.
But now they don’t think so anymore.
Such a non-stellar idea got a twenty-million financing offer?
And the most important part, Wu Bin actually turned it down?
Magical, this world is just too magical!
Wu Bin sighed.
"Forget it, I thought I was starting the game with a celestial hand, but now I’ve accidentally made it hell difficulty, tough stuff."
No sooner had Wu Bin finished lamenting than Ge Xiancong and Ge Man came out from inside.
Even though Wu Bin had turned him down, Ge Xiancong still said with a smile, "Young man, not bad, you have courage. I indeed was not wrong about you."
Hmm?
He’s still so positive even after I turned him down?
Could it be there’s still a chance?
Wu Bin was thinking this when, to his surprise, Ge Xiancong spoke up the next second, "I, Ge Xiancong, never speak empty words. Within a week, there will be a company identical to yours appearing. Prepare yourself."
A black stretch Lincoln just happened to stop by the roadside, and Ge Xiancong pulled open the car door and got in directly.
Ge Man looked at Wu Bin with disdain.
"You have no idea how high the sky is or how deep the earth is. I’ll show you that our Ge Family isn’t so easy to provoke!"
After Ge Man said this, she also got into the car, leaving Wu Bin standing alone in silence.
Even after the car had gone far away, Wu Bin still stared in the direction it went without saying a word.
The viewers in the live stream immediately started discussing.
"What’s up with Brother Wu? He’s not struck dumb by shock, is he?"
"It’s quite normal to be shocked. I just went to check Ge Family’s background and found that it couldn’t be found. Do you know what it means when someone’s information can’t be found? It means the Ge Family isn’t as simple as it appears on the surface. But I found out about the assets under Ge Man’s name. She owns six companies, with total assets of three hundred million." 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"Damn, really? Just that little sister has assets of three hundred million? What’s the point of playing this game then? Brother Wu might as well just surrender now!"
"This is what happens when you arm-wrestle with capital. Newcomers who want to stand out have to pray that capital hasn’t noticed them, or they should choose a capital they find acceptable to invest in them in advance; otherwise, they’ll just end up being ground into dust."
The live stream viewers seemed to have already foreseen Wu Bin’s doomed future.
It was at this time that Wu Bin took out his phone and made a direct call.
"Lin Nan, notify everyone in the company for an emergency meeting in Conference Hall One."
After making this call, Wu Bin confidently led He Bingbing and Zhu Ling towards Conference Hall One.
For some reason, viewers felt that Wu Bin was fired up!
...
In the days that followed, Conference Hall One at the school was temporarily borrowed by Wu Bin.
Xu Wenyao also knew that Wu Bin was challenging Ge Xiancong, so he didn’t ask too much and directly approved the use of Conference Hall One for Wu Bin’s purposes for the following period.
Zhu Ling felt a bit bored.
The topics discussed in the conference room, like marketing strategies and sales tactics, were all full of terms that made Zhu Ling sleepy.
He Bingbing was also bored.
She really wanted to enter the conference room to see what exactly Wu Bin was discussing and planning.
Because, if He Bingbing wasn’t mistaken, Wu Bin was engaging in what’s known as business warfare at this very moment!
He Bingbing had never been involved in a business war before, so she really wanted to be a part of it from start to finish.
But since He Bingbing was equipped with live streaming gear, Wu Bin would certainly not let her in, to avoid any leaks.
The viewers in the live stream could only see him when Wu Bin took breaks to rest and eat.
At eleven o’clock at night, Wu Bin walked out of the conference hall, dragging his exhausted body.
The viewers in the live stream were startled when they saw Wu Bin’s state.
"Holy shit, is that Brother Wu? Why are his dark circles so severe?"
"He looks so weak, is holding a meeting really that tiring?"
"Dude, do you think it’s as easy as holding a morning meeting? They are in the middle of an emergency meeting right now, it’s the start of a business showdown. They have to anticipate what moves the other side will make, plan their own countermeasures, and consider how to react to unexpected events. All of these require prior preparation and discussion."
"Isn’t that exhausting? After all, nobody knows what’s going to happen, and the workload seems enormous! No wonder Brother Wu looks like he’s totally drained!"
