One Yuan First Recharge: I'm Actually the Boss Behind a Fortune 500 Company

Zhang Wei and Wang Hao exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised.

To be honest, in Zhang Wei's mind, even if Qian Dapeng insisted on 4.2 million, they would most likely accept it in the end.

After all, this factory is indeed quite good, and its customer base is very solid.

Unexpectedly, he actually voluntarily lowered the price by 100,000.

"However," Qian Dapeng changed the subject, "I have a request."

"Oh?" Zhang Wei became interested. "Brother, what are your requirements? As long as they're not excessive, we'll try our best to meet them."

Qian Dapeng nodded, his gaze sweeping over the busy workers outside the office, his eyes softening.

"I hope that after you take over the factory, you can keep all of us workers here."

His voice wasn't loud, but he spoke each word very clearly.

"They've been with me for as long as three to five years, and some have been working for over ten years."

"They are all honest people, and they never slack off at work."

"Given the current job market, it's not easy for them at their age to find another job."

"They were doing quite well working for me, their jobs were very stable."

"Now, because of my situation, the factory is going to be sold. I'm the one who has let them down."

"So... I hope that because of me, I won't ruin their livelihoods."

"If you agree to keep them, I can sign a contract with you today for this factory, worth four million one hundred thousand!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Hao, Zhang Wei, and Lin Wei were all stunned.

They never expected that Qian Dapeng's price reduction of 100,000 yuan, with the added condition, was simply to keep his employees' jobs.

A strange sense of emotion rose in the hearts of the three.

This man was willing to sell his life's work of more than a decade for a wife who was addicted to gambling.

Even in his most difficult times, he still thought about the workers who had struggled alongside him.

This is a true man, full of loyalty, compassion, and responsibility.

Zhang Wei looked at Qian Dapeng, his eyes welling up with tears.

He stood up, walked up to Qian Dapeng, reached out, and patted him hard on the shoulder.

"Brother."

His voice was a little hoarse.

"We agree to your request!"

"Even if you didn't lower the price, let alone by 100,000, we would still agree to this request!"

"We needed workers after taking over this business. Your brothers are all experienced; we'd love to keep them all!"

Qian Dapeng's eyes instantly turned red. He nodded forcefully, his lips trembling, unable to utter a word.

"Brother," Zhang Wei continued, "you're a genuine person, and I admire your actions."

"We've finalized the deal for this factory today."

"However, I can't make the decision on such a large sum of money; I need to go back and apply to my boss."

"Don't worry, I'll give you an answer by tomorrow at the latest."

Zhang Wei looked at him and said, word by word:

"Moreover, when I go back, I will apply for the price of 4.15 million."

Qian Dapeng suddenly raised his head and looked at him with confusion.

Zhang Wei smiled, a truly genuine smile.

"Brother, the extra 50,000 has nothing to do with business."

"This is my personal responsibility, on behalf of our company, and for your integrity and sense of duty."

"You're a good man, a real man."

I believe that temporary difficulties cannot defeat you.

"Someone like you, even if you fall, will always get back up one day!"

His words struck like a hammer, hitting everyone's heart hard.

Wang Hao and Lin Wei also stood up and walked to Qian Dapeng's side.

Their eyes held no pity, only heartfelt admiration and encouragement.

"..."

On the way back, the atmosphere inside the Audi was completely different from when we arrived.

Gone was the high spirits they had when they left; now there was a sense of heaviness.

Qian Hong escorted them to the factory gate, his face filled with gratitude and unease, repeatedly saying, "Thank you, brothers, we'll wait for your news." Zhang Wei felt a pang of unease at his sight.

He drove in silence for a long time, but finally couldn't help but sigh.

"Sigh, to be honest, seeing Brother Qian like that makes my heart ache."

"What do you think he's after?"

Zhang Wei's voice sounded somewhat indignant.

"His wife, even if she went through hardships with him, is now enjoying a good life at home."

"Playing cards for fun is one thing, but to borrow money from loan sharks to gamble? Isn't that just committing a sin?"

"Now look what's happened, all the family business I worked so hard to build over the past ten years has been squandered in one fell swoop."

"Who could stand this?"

He got angrier and angrier as he spoke, and he gripped the steering wheel even tighter.

Wang Hao sat in the passenger seat, looking out the window, and didn't say anything.

Life is full of different aspects, each with its own way of living and its own trials.

He couldn't judge other people's choices from his own perspective, especially since it involved twenty years of marriage.

Even an upright official finds it difficult to settle family disputes; as an outsider, his words would be futile.

Lin Wei, sitting in the back row, also remained silent.

She just felt that the man named Qian Hongfa was a little pitiful.

Seeing that neither of them responded, Zhang Wei felt there was no point in continuing the conversation, so he shut his mouth and focused on driving.

The car was quiet again.

Wang Hao's thoughts drifted to the game system.

[Company Upgrade Task]

[1. All employees' favorability rating reached 60 (Completed)]

[2. Recruit 20 full-time employees (8/20)]

3. Owns a corporate entity (0/1)

Acquiring Hongfa GG should complete the task of "owning a corporate entity".

After all, it is a production base with factories, equipment, and workers. If this does not count as a physical entity, then what does?

The key task is the second one: recruiting 20 employees.

Qian Hongfa's request was to take over all of his employees, which numbered about seven or eight.

Currently, Xingyue Media has a total of eight people, including myself.

If those seven or eight workers can also be counted as formal employees of the company by the system, then the total number would be fifteen or sixteen.

We are only four or five people away from our goal of 20.

This will greatly reduce the recruitment pressure on Zhou Jianjun's side and significantly speed up the completion of the task.

"But... will the system recognize it?"

Wang Hao was unsure.

After all, these employees were not recruited through the normal hiring process, but were "packaged" as part of the assets.

We'll have to wait until the acquisition is complete to see if the progress bar on the task panel changes.

As he pondered these things, the car smoothly drove into the parking lot downstairs at the company.

……

Star Moon Media.

As soon as the three of them entered the office, Yu Xinxin immediately came up to them from the front desk.

"Zhang Wei, Lin Wei, Wang Hao! You're back!"

Her voice carried a hint of anticipation and nervousness.

"How did it go? Did today's discussion yield any results?"

Her question caused everyone in the office to stop what they were doing and turn to look at her.

Zhou Jianjun also came out of his office; clearly, everyone was very concerned about this matter.

This was, after all, the first task of the new year personally assigned by the boss, and it was related to the company's future development direction.
