Chapter 31: Capital Injection

The woman glared at Ming Yue, her eyes filled with envy and hatred.

"My company is worth hundreds of millions, what do you, a mere girl, have to do with it?"

Ming Yue directly pulled out a business card from her bag.

"Mr. Yan, if you're interested, we can discuss it."

"Yuehua Technology? What kind of obscure company is this?"

Before the man could speak, the woman across from him glanced at the card and sneered.

Yan Ge, the man, would not let Ming Yue lose face, especially since he was eager for someone to put the woman in her place.

"Thank you, Miss Ming."

Although Yuehua Technology was under Zhang Heng's management, Ming Yue's position was clearly stated, and she had business cards printed.

Ming Yue wondered why the person before her spoke so arrogantly; a company worth hundreds of millions wasn't at the top of the industry either.

"Lady, Mr. Yan has already declined your cooperation; you may leave now."

Said Ming Yue.

"Little Yan, you should know the stakes. Would you rather cooperate with an unknown company or work with us?"

"The cooperation you refer to is selling my company for one million? Sorry, I won't cooperate."

Yan Ge looked up at the manager surnamed Wang, his heart filled with indignation.

"Hmph, then I'll wait for your company to go bankrupt."

She picked up her bag and left, her high heels clicking against the floor.

"Miss Ming, please sit down."

The man invited Ming Yue to sit, calling over a waiter to order coffee.

"Thank you, Miss Ming, for coming to our aid earlier."

"Have you considered cooperation?"

Ming Yue was quite interested, "Can I see the proposal?"

Yan Ge did not refuse; he was already at the end of his rope.

"It's a good idea; I can invest."

Ming Yue flipped through the proposal, indeed finding it a solid concept that fit well with the market.

Yan Ge ran a planning company, mainly focusing on planning and marketing.

This plan seemed to be in response to the previous lady's proposition; the plan was tight, pushing marketing to its limits.

However, during the negotiation phase, the complete details of the plan were not revealed.

But the highlights were there.

Upon hearing this, Yan Ge's eyes lit up, and the dispirited young master suddenly came alive.

"How much can your company invest?"

He was nervous, his eyes fixed on Ming Yue without blinking.

"Not the company."

Yan Ge's soaring heart plummeted back to the ground, filled with disappointment, even suspecting whether the woman opposite him was playing games.

Seeing the change in expression on the handsome man's face, Ming Yue couldn't help but chuckle.

"I will invest personally."

At these words, Yan Ge's eyes lit up again.

"Since the agreed amount was three million..."

Yan Ge's invisible tail was surely wagging wildly, his heart pounding with excitement.

"I will personally invest five million in you."

"Really?"

He grabbed Ming Yue's hand in excitement, then awkwardly withdrew it.

Today was truly his lucky day, meeting a benefactor.

"Yes, find me tomorrow to sign the contract."

Ming Yue said with a smile, after all, she had money now, and helping someone in need who was full of ambition while investing in herself, why not?

"Miss Ming"

Yan Ge was both excited and flustered, immediately standing up.

"Would it be convenient to sign the contract today?"

Finish today's affairs today, to avoid any unforeseen complications.

Ming Yue understood him; after all, judging by his appearance, his company was at the brink of survival.

"Deal."

The two agreed to bring Wang Qian along and headed to Yan Ge's company.

Although the situation at the company was still quite severe, the atmosphere was surprisingly pleasant.

"Brother Yan, you're back."

"The boss is here."

Upon seeing Yan Ge, everyone greeted him warmly. Although they were curious about Ming Yue and the others' identities, they refrained from any impolite speculation.

In the office, Ming Yue signed the contract with him, and Yan Ge finally felt a sense of relief.

"How did your company end up in such a state?"

Ming Yue was puzzled. Logically, a planning company might not generate profits as quickly as financial or tech companies, but it shouldn't be as risky. According to Yan Ge's character, as long as he played it safe, there shouldn't have been any issues.

"It's all because of Donglin Technology. That woman I met today for a potential collaboration. Donglin recently had a project that required a partner company to push forward, so they approached our company.

In truth, our company wasn't qualified enough to collaborate with Donglin Technology. Despite our good reputation in the industry, we're too small in scale, which is a hard fact."

Ming Yue listened intently as he spoke.

An assistant brought in tea.

"Later, that woman proactively sought me out for a partnership. Of course, I was delighted. If this project succeeded, my Songmo Media could reach new heights."

"That sounds great. Isn't it a win-win situation?"

Ming Yue genuinely didn't understand why Donglin would break their agreement at the last minute.

"We pushed aside other projects for this big case, but unexpectedly, they suddenly broke the contract. You know that Donglin Technology is a tech company, but you probably don't know that although Songmo Media is a media company primarily focusing on marketing, advertising, and planning, we have a project under development that has piqued their interest. They used a decoy strategy, aiming to cripple our company and buy this project at a low price."

At this point, Ming Yue became intrigued. A media company had created something that caught the attention of a tech company—a sign of talent.

"This isn't the company's main focus; it's something I've been working on with friends. We have plans to develop a travel game app. To realistically replicate real-world tourist cities within the game, we've spent considerable effort over the past few years.

Currently, we're further refining the cities we've traveled to. The architecture, local snacks, popular check-in spots, and scenic landmarks are being meticulously scaled and integrated into the game..."

Wang Qian listened with keen interest; this game sounded impressive.

Ming Yue was also captivated, suddenly questioning if her investment was wise.

Yuehua Technology was currently developing games, and this travel game seemed promising. In hindsight, an acquisition might have been the best choice.

Ming Yue looked up at Yan Ge, who was staring at her earnestly, and ultimately abandoned the idea. Firstly, she believed in keeping her word, and secondly, she didn't want to overpower a smaller entity—it wouldn't sit well with her conscience.

These young, aspiring individuals deserved room to grow, didn't they?

"You're in a rush to sell due to the substantial funds invested in this research, and the broken agreement from Donglin left you without the necessary capital."

"Yes, this is our labor of love, and we don't want to sell it. We're truly grateful for your investment."

"I can offer you two choices. First, merge your company under Yuehua Technology. Yuehua Technology has a dedicated game development department, and the progress of your game will accelerate significantly. I'll acquire your project for five million and your company for three million. You can choose to work directly for Yuehua Technology."

"And the second choice?"

Yan Ge knew the first option was the best, but he wanted to hear the alternative.

"I'll personally invest an additional five million, making my total investment ten million for a thirty percent stake in your Songmo Media."

"How does Miss Yue wish for me to decide?"

Yan Ge was indeed conflicted. After all, Songmo Media was a small company, and the game's promotion wouldn't create a significant buzz. He was aware that Yuehua Technology, despite being newly established, had its offices in the prestigious Hoi Fook Building, indicating the company's high standing.

"I respect your choice."

Yan Ge was genuinely torn. This travel game project was his initiative, but it was the collective effort of his friends.

"I choose the second option."

"Agreed."

Ming Yue wasn't surprised. It was time to draft the contract.

Both parties signed the agreement. Ming Yue invested ten million, acquiring a thirty percent stake in Songmo Media.

In reality, Ming Yue took a loss. Aside from the game project, whose value was difficult to estimate, Songmo Media's worth didn't amount to ten million.

However, Ming Yue felt that investing while others worked to earn profits on her behalf was incredibly satisfying. Recouping her investment and turning a profit was merely a matter of time.
