At this point, the sports club has no choice but to close down or change hands.

Li Mu was eager to be the knight in shining armor, but he wasn't a philanthropist; 17 million was definitely out of the question, and he would try to negotiate the price down as much as possible.

Hopefully, the result will be good.

Chapter 177 Muwu Sports Club

With money in hand, Li Mu transferred another 100,000 yuan home, still using the excuse of his successful business venture with his classmates.

Too much is also not good. I've only been out of school for a little over a year. If I really say that I've done some big business and made a lot of money, my parents won't believe me.

There's plenty of time in the future, let's take it slow.

On the other hand, the acquisition went even more smoothly than expected. A little over a week later, perhaps the investors behind the sports club were truly disheartened. After several rounds of negotiations, the club was successfully acquired by Muwu Culture Co., Ltd., owned by Li Mu, for eleven million yuan.

The price was undeniably cheap; a top-tier indoor sports club with a total investment of 70 million was acquired for 11 million, making it a real bargain for Li Mu.

But when you look into it, the price is actually quite fair. On the surface, they paid 11 million to acquire this sports club, but they also took over tens of millions of hidden debts.

To be precise, the acquisition cost over 20 million, but the hidden debt of 10 million will take a long time to materialize.

This gives Li Mu the time and energy to process it quietly.

For a sports club that has been losing money since its opening, it's not bad to be able to sell it for 20 million.

However, the acquisition of the sports club went much more smoothly than Li Mu had expected. He had originally thought the bar would be easier to acquire, but the deal was stalled because they couldn't agree on the price.

At this point, Li Mu was no longer in a hurry. After acquiring the sports club, he no longer had enough funds to acquire the bar. Taking his time to negotiate and recover his losses was a good idea.

Fortunately, he was also able to free up his time and energy to invest in the sports club he had just acquired.

Having experience as a startup founder and CEO, Li Mu did not immediately use small-scale crowd-gathering methods after taking over the sports club. Instead, he talked to the club's management team one by one, and less than half of them were able to stay.

Those who left all had some flaws, more or less: lack of ability, poor attitude, bad character, etc.

These are just the surface reasons; the deeper reason is that the club's top management needs a major overhaul.

The original management team managed to run such a luxurious sports club in such a dismal state, raising serious questions about their competence. That's one aspect.

Another, more important reason: If there isn't a major overhaul, replacing the existing management team, how do you explain the sudden improvement in business after using a small crowd-gathering device?

The original management team and the original business model suddenly improved after a change of owner; it's too magical.

It would be better to overhaul the management team, introduce new management and management models, and if the business improves, that's a normal phenomenon.

Under Li Mu's leadership, the club's management team, consisting of seven or eight layers, was replaced through headhunting firms and open market recruitment, and several key personnel were dismissed.

With a series of swift and decisive reforms, the club regained stability in just half a month. Following this round of restructuring, service quality and overall customer experience have improved significantly.

During this period, the club was given a new name, which is now called "Muwu Sports Club".

With everything in place, Li Mu finally unleashed his full potential, using five small popularity-gathering devices to restore the popularity of the Muwu Sports Club to normal levels.

In terms of publicity, Li Mu also made an effort, printing a lot of flyers and hiring some college students to promote the club in some upscale residential areas; some local sports and fitness bloggers and influencers also posted several videos about Muwu Sports Club.

The advertising cost wasn't high, only a few hundred thousand.

From an outsider's perspective, the effect is fantastic.

As if overnight, the number of customers at Muwu Sports Club increased significantly, with many being new customers who came to sign up for memberships.

Muwu Sports Club's VIP cards are divided into several levels: Basic, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond. The highest level, Diamond, has an annual fee of up to 180,000 yuan, while the lowest level, Basic, has an annual fee of 12,000 yuan. In some ways, such consumption is beyond the reach of the lower classes.

However, Muwu Sports Club targets high-income individuals with a clear customer segmentation, rather than lumping all consumer groups together. This approach helps maintain the club's appeal.

In just one week of using the small crowd-gathering device, hundreds of new customers opened accounts, generating over three million yuan in revenue.

If this performance continues, how much would it be per month? How much per year?

However, it's just a thought. Like reading books online, Muwu Sports Club is a form of advance consumption.

A reader who makes a recharge once may not need to recharge again for the next few months; a member of the Muwu Sports Club who buys an annual card will not have to spend too much money in the following year.

Currently, the club is experiencing a significant drop in popularity. However, with the help of a small popularity-gathering device, it is expected to see a full recovery in the next two months, with a surge in popularity, more new customers opening memberships, and naturally, more revenue.

However, this surge will stop once the club's popularity returns to normal levels.

Based on this, it can be inferred that Muwu Sports Club's revenue will experience explosive growth in the first two months, like the current weekly income of over three million. Afterwards, performance will decline and return to normal levels, which is a normal phenomenon.

Just as Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief after things stabilized at the Muwu Sports Club, the system reappeared, this time requiring him to travel to the Golden Age.

This is an urban drama with a total of 38 episodes. The synopsis tells the story of two best friends, Jiang Nansun and Zhu Suosuo.

Jiang Nansun was born into a wealthy family and appears gentle on the outside, but is actually quite arrogant and literary on the inside; Zhu Suosuo lacked family warmth from a young age and has an outgoing and lively personality.

Two best friends, Jiang Nansun, perseveres in her studies to pursue her dreams, but encounters double setbacks in her family and love life. Zhu Suosuo steps forward to help Jiang Nansun solve various difficulties in her daily life, and helps her complete the transition from student to working professional.

During this time, Zhu Suosuo worked hard in the workplace to realize her dream and had her own little family, but encountered marital problems. Jiang Nansun provided warm companionship and helped Zhu Suosuo successfully get out of the predicament.

Despite the passage of time and the ups and downs of life, the two have always supported each other through the vicissitudes of life, healing each other as they grow.

After reading the plot summary, Li Mu spent more than two days watching the entire 38-episode urban drama.

This is a female-centric drama with two female leads. The content and synopsis are somewhat different, but both female leads are indeed very beautiful.

Jiang Nansun, in particular, portrayed a fresh and elegant goddess-like demeanor with remarkable skill.

After arranging things at the company, Li Mu spent half a day reviewing some materials. That night, as he lay in bed, the light shifted, and he vanished.

Chapter 178 Golden Years

In the old streets and alleys, warm light streamed through the halls. In a dimly lit room on the second floor of an old-fashioned attic, Li Mu silently opened his eyes, knowing that he had arrived in the Golden Age.

Looking at the clean yet worn room, furnished in typical engineering student attire, I wondered who it was this time—Zhang Anren, Wang Yongzheng… or…

As a wave of memories washed over him, Li Mu sighed silently. He had become Zhu Suosuo's cousin, Luo Jiaming, the "mama's boy" everyone talked about.

This is an introverted man who admires his cousin Zhu Suosuo but never dares to confess his feelings. He only dares to stand in the corner and secretly gaze at her. He is a typical mama's boy.

He lay quietly in bed for a while, sorting through his memories. Luo Jiaming was a typical STEM guy, frail and thin, now…

Li Mu sprang to his feet with surprising agility, casually demonstrating a few routines with astounding skill. His muscle memory, physical reflexes, and real-life movements were perfectly synchronized.

I did a quick test of my strength, flexibility, and lung capacity... just like in the real world. I looked down and saw that my little brother hadn't changed either.

He went to the mirror again and looked at himself. Okay! He looked different; he had become Luo Jiaming from the drama.

"Luo Jiaming," Li Mu muttered to himself, suddenly becoming interested. He wondered what task the system would give him this time. Could it be to fulfill Luo Jiaming's wish and marry Zhu Suosuo?

System task: "As a drama with a strong female lead, everything revolves around the two female leads. Jiang Nansun and Zhu Suosuo are best friends who grew up together. They are not blood sisters, but their bond is stronger than blood sisters. If possible, they would never want to be apart for the rest of their lives."

Please grant their wish and help them relive the legendary love story of Ehuang and Nüying, so they can live together for the rest of their lives. (No abnormal means may be used.)

Li Mu's eyes narrowed, and he stared in disbelief: "What do you mean by 'reenacting the beautiful story'? What about Ehuang and Nüying? The only way to keep the two from being separated and complete the mission is to make him..."

Is this mission legitimate?

Not to mention that Zhu Suosuo looked down on her mama's boy cousin Luo Jiaming, Jiang Nansun, the proud little princess of the Jiang family, was even more of a high and mighty swan to Luo Jiaming.

Now, however, he was stunned to see that he had been given two at once. Li Mu was dumbfounded, but a little excited inside.

But as a decent person, if it weren't for a system task, who would be willing to be unfaithful? Who would be willing to have two relationships at the same time? Li Mu comforted himself with a sense of righteous indignation.

It's all the system's fault, it has nothing to do with me! I was forced to blame the system for the scumbag!

……

Just as I was thinking this, there was a knock on the door.

"Jiaming, are you up?"

Li Mu responded with an "Mmm" based on his memory.

"Get up!"

Mother Luo said, "It's the weekend today. If you're sleepy, you can sleep a little longer. I'll keep your food warm in the kitchen."

"Oh, I see."

A minute later, Li Mu heard Luo's mother's voice again: "Suo Suo, you've finished eating, don't eat any more."

"Auntie, I'm on a diet right now, so I'll be going now."

Then the door slammed shut, followed by Luo's mother's soft complaining.

"SuoSuo is getting harder to manage; she's been getting wilder and wilder lately."

“She’s so old now, we can’t keep an eye on her all the time. She should be given some freedom.” It was clearly Luo’s father’s voice.

Luo's mother whispered, "I know, but Jiaming likes Suosuo, how can we not keep a close eye on him?"

"Sigh! They're all grown up now, we don't need to worry about them so much."

……

After Li Mu finished washing up, Luo's parents had already gone downstairs for a walk. After breakfast, there was no rush to find Zhu Suosuo; they had plenty of time and could take their time.

Princess Nansun, there's no need to rush; there will be plenty of opportunities.

That would be a good way to make some money. As a mama's boy, Luo Jiaming basically hands over his entire monthly salary, leaving him with only a little pocket money.

This world is quite different from the real world, and there aren't many places to make money. Microsoft's existence gave him an opportunity.
