“What Meng Chang didn't expect was that his little tricks hadn't escaped Boss Pei's eyes at all.”

“At the launch event for all investors, President Ma of Tengda asked two soul-searching questions on the spot: Are the cold noodles delicious? What does 'multi-dimensional fusion' mean?”

“This directly hit Meng Chang's weak spot, exposing the two major hidden dangers of Cold Noodles Girl in front of all the investors: poor taste and excessive marketing.”

“Obviously, President Ma was conveying a message for Boss Pei with two purposes: first, to remind the investors of the risks of Cold Noodles Girl, and second, to remind Meng Chang that the current Cold Noodles Girl was just a castle in the air and was destined to fail, and that it was not too late to make changes now.”

“Unfortunately, the high-spirited Meng Chang did not realize the seriousness of this warning and stubbornly continued to follow his own script.”

“But what he didn't know was that he would not be walking the script he had envisioned, but the script that Boss Pei had arranged for him.”

“President Ma's questions at the launch event were a head-on blow to Meng Chang. He had to pour all his money into the Cold Noodles Girl stores, using marketing, popularity, and beautiful financial reports to regain the trust of the investors.”

“But this process was not smooth, because the nail that President Ma had hammered in at the launch event was still stinging the investors. All the investments Meng Chang could get came with harsh terms such as gambling agreements and repurchase clauses, and Meng Chang still lacked the bargaining chips to negotiate with the investors.”

“At this time, Meng Chang fell into hesitation. He knew that the current state of Cold Noodles Girl was still far from what he wanted, and if he took this hot potato now, there would be big problems.”

“For Meng Chang, it was not too late to give up at this point.”

“But at this moment, Boss Pei once again extended a helping hand, investing an additional six million. This gave Meng Chang the bargaining chips to negotiate with other investors, and reignited his confidence.”

“But in hindsight, Boss Pei's move should be considered 'strategic release.' Without this additional investment, the ending of Cold Noodles Girl might have been a flash in the pan, disappearing silently, and Meng Chang would have failed in his business but without debt, and Boss Pei's initial investment of 2 million would have gone down the drain.”

“But the fact proves that Boss Pei's money seems easy to get, but in reality, it is not easy to get at all.”

“Full of confidence, Meng Chang launched an even grander marketing campaign with an even more high-profile attitude. His strong stance made the investors who were watching waver. The investors were afraid of missing the Cold Noodles Girl bandwagon and were already considering removing those harsh conditions. The mentality of both parties gradually reversed.”

“Meng Chang felt that he was only one step away from his goal, just a final kick. So, he came to Jingzhou again with the carefully prepared financial report, wanting to get the last sum of money from Boss Pei.”

“As long as this sum of money was in place, other investors would follow suit, and the valuation of Cold Noodles Girl would reach an unprecedented height. Meng Chang would have many options, such as selling it to catering giants such as Quanmin Dianping, and calmly get away.”

“However, after reading Meng Chang's financial report, Boss Pei just gave a cold laugh. What caught Meng Chang off guard was that Boss Pei directly sold all the shares of Cold Noodles Girl in his hand, even at a low price, causing the valuation of Cold Noodles Girl to plummet!”

“Meng Chang's one step away was a world of difference.”

“After that, Meng Chang's actions were completely controlled by Boss Pei. Seeing that Cold Noodles Girl was about to collapse, Boss Pei would invest a small amount of two million to give it a boost; seeing that the situation of Cold Noodles Girl was gradually improving, he would sell all the shares again.”

“Meng Chang fell into a gambler's mentality. There were already too many chips on the table, and he didn't want to give up, because giving up would mean that all his previous efforts would be in vain. It seemed that the dawn of victory was just around the corner, but no matter how hard he tried, he was still far behind...”

“Before Boss Pei completely shattered Meng Chang's hope, he retained the last glimmer of hope for him. So Meng Chang, who had always been clear-headed, finally relaxed. After hesitating for a long time, he accepted an investment with joint and several liability. In the end, Cold Noodles Girl ended in a dismal manner, and Meng Chang was burdened with millions of debts and could no longer turn over.”

“Looking at the entire process from the establishment to the failure of Cold Noodles Girl, it is not difficult to find that Meng Chang's goal has actually been consistent. We cannot guess what he is thinking in his heart, but from the actions he actually took, it is obvious that he did not want to build a fast-food brand for the Chinese people as he said. The author reasonably suspects that his initial things were to hype up the valuation and cash out and leave.”

“It's just that Meng Chang used this set of techniques very skillfully, and his eloquence was too good, so he successfully deceived the eyes of the investors. Or, some investors knew Meng Chang's idea, but still invested money, just with a fluke mentality, thinking that they would not be the last to receive the parcel in the game of passing the parcel.”

“But Meng Chang still failed completely. He is like that unruly monkey, who thinks that he has seventy-two transformations and fiery eyes, and can travel 108,000 miles with one somersault, wanting to make a havoc in heaven and then retreat unscathed. However, he never thought that Boss Pei was always paying attention to him, and no matter how hard Meng Chang tried, he never escaped Boss Pei's Wuzhi Mountain (Five Finger Mountain)!”

“Boss Pei obviously knew Meng Chang's goal very well, but he was still very patient and played this game with him.”

“When he found out that Meng Chang's motives were impure, Boss Pei gave him a warning as soon as possible; when Meng Chang wanted to quit, Boss Pei gave him a little hope; and when Meng Chang was about to succeed, Boss Pei drew firewood from under the cauldron, completely shattering his hope.”

“In the end, he was firmly pressed under the Wuzhi Mountain, so that he could not turn over.”

“Seeing this, some people may be confused: Does Boss Pei have any personal grudges with Meng Chang? Even if Meng Chang is suspected of defrauding Boss Pei of money, as long as Boss Pei doesn't give him money, wouldn't that be enough? Why bother so much?”

“This is what makes Boss Pei different.”

Seeing this, Qi Yan couldn't help but nod.

Before reading this article, she really didn't know that there was such a complicated relationship between Cold Noodles Girl and Boss Pei.

Although Qi Yan has been responsible for the marketing work of Cold Noodles Girl, she has not been involved in other aspects of the work, basically just executing the tasks arranged by Meng Chang.

Once, Qi Yan worked with full enthusiasm, just because she believed in Meng Chang's pie in the sky, thinking that Meng Chang could really build Cold Noodles Girl into a leading enterprise in Chinese fast food, giving all employees an infinitely bright future.

But now it seems that she is really too naive.

Meng Chang obviously never considered the future of Cold Noodles Girl and these employees. In his heart, there was only himself from beginning to end.

This article describes the battle of wits between Boss Pei and Meng Chang in great detail, and it seems to be highly credible. But the most critical question is, as the author said, Boss Pei is so busy, why should he play with Meng Chang?

It is simply similar to Zhuge Liang's capturing and releasing Meng Huo seven times in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Maybe Meng Chang himself can't figure out why Boss Pei is targeting him so much.

It is very likely that Meng Chang felt that Boss Pei didn't have time and didn't bother to argue with him over these millions, so he became the monkey who was pressed under the Wuzhi Mountain.

What Meng Chang thought was not to jump out of the Wuzhi Mountain, but to slip out from the cracks between the fingers of the Wuzhi Mountain, but he didn't expect that Boss Pei's Wuzhi Mountain was sparse but not leaking.

The last paragraph of the article analyzes the purpose of Boss Pei's move in detail.

“Let's think about a question: What if Boss Pei hadn't invested in Meng Chang? Would Meng Chang give up his plan? Obviously not.”

“Meng Chang will only think that the time is not ripe and put the entire plan on hold for the time being. He will continue to accumulate qualifications and resume, waiting for the next opportunity. Then, will the next investor have the wisdom and ability of Boss Pei? I'm afraid not.”

“At that time, Meng Chang's plan will be successfully implemented, he will successfully cash out and leave a mess, gain both fame and fortune, and transform himself into an outstanding entrepreneur and entrepreneur.”

“Obviously, Boss Pei doesn't want to see this scene happen, so he took the time out of his busy schedule to completely cut off this possibility.”

“Meeting a beast on the road, ignoring it can indeed protect oneself, but it cannot prevent the beast from hurting people; subduing the beast and putting on shackles is what a hero does!”

“Boss Pei's move can be said to kill three birds with one stone, achieving three goals at once.”

“First, it made Meng Chang a person subject to enforcement, and his reputation was ruined. After the failure of Cold Noodles Girl, it was as difficult for him to make a comeback as climbing to the sky, and it also prevented him from harming others;”

“Second, correcting the chaos and returning to the right path, allowing Cold Noodles Girl to embark on the right track, setting an example for everyone through the comparison before and after, and explaining a truth: running a business, relying on marketing alone is useless, the key is to be down-to-earth;”

“Third, this move is also a warning to all entrepreneurs who are ill-intentioned and want to defraud money from Dream Chasing Ventures: as long as you operate seriously, it doesn't matter if you lose money; but if you are impure from the beginning, then Meng Chang is a lesson!”

“From this, we can also see Boss Pei's attitude towards people like Meng Chang.”

“All of Meng Chang's actions are within the scope permitted by law. He doesn't make fake accounts or evade taxes, and his behavior is completely legal from the perspective of behavior.”

“Everyone can't wait to cut the cheater into pieces, but our country is, after all, a country ruled by law, and emotion, reason, and law must be distinguished. No one can replace the law to execute justice, that is too arrogant and too presumptuous.”

“If Meng Chang violates the law, he will naturally be punished by law. And his problem is just a business matter, so it is most appropriate to solve it with business methods.”

“It is said that after Meng Chang was desperate, Boss Pei gave him a job. Obviously, this is not a move of compassion, but another plan.”

“Here, the author boldly predicts that Boss Pei will use commercial means to make Meng Chang suffer, and the current situation is only the beginning.”

“As for where Meng Chang will go in the future, whether he will complain about himself, give up on himself, or go through hardships and repent, fate is in his own hands.”
