[To Be A Brave One]

[Episode 16]

May I ask,

how do I acquire Soul App?

Is Zhuoyue planning to acquire Soul App?

Yes.

It was Mr. Lin's order.

Mr. Shao, do you mind enlightening

your subordinate?

I do.

I wouldn't help

that ill-mannered punk

who pretends to know you well.

What would it take for you to help him?

Make me happy.

Make you happy?

How do I make you happy?

Figure it out yourself.

Do you want to go to the amusement park?

Doesn't it sound good?

I don't know.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

♪When a ray of sunlight lights up my day♪

♪All fragile moments of life will fade away♪

Mr. Unhappy,

do you feel happy now?

You've enjoyed all the rides.

Shall we dive straight into the topic?

♪There's no giving up in my world♪

♪Because the suffering I've experienced♪

♪Made me continue running♪

♪I'll continue running♪

The nature of negotiations

is psychological warfare.

Once you're there,

don't let them know

that you're willing to acquire them.

From what I understand,
you want me to create a false lead.

But I think sincerity is more powerful,

isn't it?

If I were you,

I wouldn't do that.

But you're in charge of the negotiation.

So you have my support to do it your way.

I'm here today

to bring good news to you all.

Zhuoyue's Investment Department

has approved my project analysis report.

Therefore, we are willing to

invest in Soul App.

That's wonderful!

♪There's no giving up in my world♪

Are you going to

discuss the specific conditions with us today?

Yes.

That's exactly why I'm here today.

♪I'll continue running♪

I have brought with me

the overall valuation of the project.

And this is the amount we're willing to invest.

Come on.

♪I won't give up in my world♪

♪Because the suffering I've experienced♪

♪Made me continue running♪

It's 20 million.

No more instant noodles.

♪I'll continue running♪

An Yu.

There is a

pending team valuation.

What does that mean?

A young entrepreneurial team

will worry about being abandoned by the capital.

Remember what I told you

about the acquisition of Wei'er Hotel?

It varies from person to person.

So take them on one by one.

If you can do that,

you can seize the absolute initiative.

According to regulations,

we have to evaluate every team member

one by one.

After the selected members are confirmed,

we can then start to

evaluate the entire team.

Does that mean you're going to break us up?

Can't you acquire the entire team?

Please don't break us up.

If we

can't work together as a team,

we will

have to reconsider.

To me, interpersonal relationships

are the most precious.

Isn't a young entrepreneurial team's

cohesiveness

an embodiment of business values?

I don't wish to destroy it.

As I said,

if I were you,

I wouldn't do that.

But if you do,

perhaps you can do a better job.

It varies from person to person.

If I had chosen to break you up,

I wouldn't be straightforward with you.

Instead, I would ask you out quietly

and have a private chat.

Don't you think?

Does that mean

we can all work together?

That's right.

Since the first time

I saw you here

and every subsequent engagement,

I always feel you are

a highly cohesive team

and you are an excellent leader.

It's not easy to assemble a team.

As a team, I believe you can create

the most outstanding application together.

Therefore, I refused to have
a segmental valuation.

That's wonderful!

Yes!

To honor your generosity,

we'd like to make allowances.

Our team has decided

to give up ten percent of our equity shares.

In my opinion,

they are a very innovative team.

And they are very hard to come by now.

I believe we're going to revolutionize

the dating app landscape once our funds

are injected into this project.

All right.

[Equity Share Structure]
That's my overall report

on the acquisition of Soul App.

In conclusion, there are

three main points.

First,

an investment fund worth 20 million;

second,

acquiring the whole team;

third,

Zhuoyue gets absolute control.

An Yu has

clearly put a lot of effort into this project.

So far, everything is nicely done.

A positive first impression

for Zhuoyue's Investment Department

after a major reshuffle.

What do you guys think?

Not bad.

Since there are no objections,

An Yu,

do continue to make progress.

As for the rest,

find out

what other companies or investors in the market

who might be interested in or already

heard of Soul App.

Okay.

There's one more thing.

Please take out your phones

and connect to the company's intranet.

For the sake of confidentiality,

the company has decided

to encrypt your devices.

Please connect to the company's intranet

to get authorization from the IT Department.

In the future,

[Fu Dawei, Zhuoyue Financial Group Intranet]
files sent from your devices

or communication data

will be recorded in the company's database.

We appreciate your understanding
and cooperation.

Okay.

If there's nothing else,

that's all for the meeting.

(For the sake of confidentiality,)

(the company has decided)

(to encrypt your devices.)

We appreciate your understanding
and cooperation.

No violence.

Mr. Shao,

sit down and talk it out.

-Okay?
-Take out your phone.

This incident

is very complicated.

One video clip alone cannot prove anything.

We have to

continue the investigation.

Mr. Shao.

You're running out of time.

Mr. Fu, do you mind letting me in?

Of course not.

Please come in, Mr. Shao.

Mr. Shao. This way, please.

Hello, Kai.

He's out.

Don't lose him.

Don't worry.

He'll never get away from me.

He's here. I'm hanging up.

Sir,

please follow that car.

Sure, no problem.

Zhuoyue is signing

a contract with Zhang Xiaoshu's team.

An Yu is in charge of this project.

And it's quite a project.

I want the project.

Settle it for me.

I'll try my best.

We already know each other.

No introduction is needed.

Let's begin.

Let's begin, Xiaoshu.

Here's the thing.

We've given up

ten percent of our equity shares,

so here's our first request.

If the company's founder

and the current CEO resigned

or are dismissed,

the new CEO will not

be allowed to join the board.

No way.

It is clearly written on our investment terms.

Common shareholders can only
elect two board members.

One of them will be the current CEO.

So that means

if the board

hires a new CEO from elsewhere,

as the founder of the company,

I may lose control of the company?

Exactly.

That's what it means.

We can agree to disagree.

Carry on.

Okay.

Here's our second request.

We can sell off our preferred stock

without prior consent

if the conditions match or exceed

the current round of financing.

No way.

Our company reserves the right

to prevent anyone from selling
preferred stock in the future.

In that case,

let's analyze the problems specifically

one by one.

Mr. Shao.

What will your strategic decision

for this application be?

Please be specific.

Blanche.

If you really want to work with Zhuoyue,

you must raise the application's
access threshold.

When the application is open to all ages,

it actually poses a higher risk.

So it must change immediately.

I'm sorry.

Your thinking is outdated.

Neither I nor my team would agree to it.

Come and find me

when you've thought it through.

Take it easy.

I'll find another way.

Mr. Shao.

Can you please be more forgiving

towards Xiaoshu's team?

If we raise the application's
access threshold early on,

aren't we restricting the true potential

of this application?

If we don't standardize it from the beginning,

this application will be wiped out

of the market when things go wrong.

Currently, this application

is almost dying

before it could be released.

It's called the survival of the fittest,

isn't it?

Can't we wait for it to gain popularity

and establish itself first

before we standardize it slowly?

The application's target users

are mostly the emotionally needy

or those who need spiritual care.

If underage people use the application,

a lot of problems will arise.

You once said

that you care about every customer

because behind every equity,

there is a real human.

Aren't application users humans?

Since we've decided
to invest in this application,

we must become their first layer

of safety barrier.

We must help them eliminate risks.

You're making sense.

So, why did you bring me to this bookstore?

There are a few bestselling business books here.

You may find the right case studies here.

Case studies are useful

as they provide us with references.

Let's go.

Mr. Zhou.

Come in.

Have a look.

[Yimi Capital's Investment Proposal for Soul App]
Ms. Mi had already signed

this investment proposal for Soul App.

Please have a look.

Okay, thank you.

I shall get back to work.

(Hello?)

[Zhuoyue Financial Group]
(Shao Moli.)

(An Yu.)

(Something bad has happened.)

Hello, everyone.

Sir.

An Yu.

You indeed put on a good act.

You managed to fool us all.

What have I done?

Zhang Xiaoshu's team
signed a contract with Yimi Capital.

Did you plan for this

or were you bribed by someone else?

An Yu,

everyone here is waiting for your explanation.

That's impossible.

No way.

[Yimi Capital and Soul App]
[Cooperation Agreement Signing Ceremony]

An Yu.

If I didn't know

what you've done in the past

and your criminal records,

I could easily fall

for your innocent looks.

Please give me some time.

I will get to the bottom of this.

You suddenly disappeared

before the signing ceremony.

It's been half a day.

Didn't you

have enough time to think of an explanation?

Zhou Yuan is your ex-husband.

And both of you have a son.

Some time ago, the Chairman

has eliminated all of Zhou Yuan's spies

within the company.

We thought the company has been cleansed.

It turns out that we have been negligent.

One of Zhou Yuan's spies

is still among us.

You're right.

One of Zhou Yuan's spies

in our company

is still inside this room.

But it's not An Yu.

Come in now.

(Zhuoyue is signing)

(a contract with Zhang Xiaoshu's team.)

(An Yu is in charge of this project.)

(And it's quite a project.)

Mi Lu?

(I want the project.)

(Settle it for me.)

(I'll try my best.)

Mr. Shao, what are you doing?

Were you monitoring me?

Initially,

our main target was Xu Jingya.

However, as we investigated further,

we found out that your kid

went to the same kindergarten as Yiyi.

After that, you started to have

secret meetings with Mi Lu.

At first, I had no evidence.

But then, I lied to you.

I told you

to log into the company's intranet.

I didn't expect you to take the bait right away.

Are you trying to frame me?

Don't you know that it's illegal

to pry into others' private lives?

I was curious

about your conversations with Mi Lu.

But how could you not know anything?

If Mr. Shao and An Yu hadn't worked all night,

Wei'er Hotel would have been

taken over by Zhou Yuan.

Also,

you transferred An Yu's team to the Chuanhe.

At first, I didn't notice anything strange.

But later, An Yu was accused
of misappropriating our client's funds.

And Xu Jingya resigned soon after.

Thinking about it now,

Mr. Fu,

you were behind them, weren't you?

Sir.

Let's call the police.

Jiang Haoran,

don't kick me when I'm down.

Fu.

I don't wish to see this happen either.

How about this?

You've been with the company for many years.

And you've made significant contributions.

I won't call the police.

Just resign.

Neither of us will lose face.

Okay.

I know what to do.

Stop blaming yourself.

You don't have to comfort me.

Last night,

Mr. Fu already told Mi Lu

that we're signing with Zhang Xiaoshu's team.

And so, they signed the contract overnight.

The exact time is 3:40 AM today.

How did you know that?

Does it matter?

Yes.

If they signed the contract last night,

does it mean

that Xiaoshu was lying to me

when I called him this morning?

Of course.

But it's better to ask him personally

regarding the answer to this question.

You're right.

I must ask him personally.

Here are my resignation letter

and the company's ID card.

Mr. Jiang, please inspect them.

Mr. Fu.

From today onwards,

we are not colleagues anymore.

I have a question for you.

Why on earth did you do that?

I have been with Zhuoyue for over ten years.

I've experienced everything you've been through.

And I have seen enough of Lin Zhanhong.

I advise you to be prepared.

Otherwise,

you will end up like me sooner or later.

It's better this way.

I don't

have to bother myself
with all these craps anymore.

See you.

[Resignation Letter, Employee's Card, Fu Dawei]

Go in.

Whether it was a misunderstanding or deception,

tell me about it after you come out.

Okay.

Why?

When we were discussing the details,

Yimi Capital also reached out to us.

He said he can satisfy all our needs

under the same terms.

In particular, we'll have full
decision-making authority

over the application in the future.

Do you think they are sincere?

Is sincerity

that important?

Since you've asked me,

I'll just tell you the truth.

Soul App is a combination
of our team's painstaking efforts.

Even if it was just my effort,

I'd still choose to sign with Yimi Capital.

Because they offer better terms.

It's that simple.

If that's the case,

you should've told me from the start.

You've been having contact with Yimi Capital

for so long,

but you didn't tell me about it.

Besides,

even after you have signed with them,

you still lied to me

about signing with us.

But when they reached out to me,

I didn't know if they would sign with me.

If I don't come up with a backup plan,

I may end up empty-handed.

After signing with them,

I was going to tell you about it.

But...

But

I don't know how to tell you.

That's why...

An Yu.

Please believe me.

I didn't mean to lie to you.

It was for the benefit of our team.

Please understand.

I don't understand it.

You acted rashly and signed with Yimi Capital

despite having zero knowledge about them.

And also,

I don't agree with your principles.

Although business is business,

sincerity remains very important.

This is the only way

for you

to go further in the future.

So,

how's your conversation with Xiaoshu?

He decided to work with Zhou Yuan.

I already said everything I had to say.

But

I have to respect his decision.

To be fair, Xiaoshu did nothing wrong.

Think about it.

Zhou Yuan was able to provide
better terms than us.

The reason why you're frustrated

is that you put your personal emotions into it.

Moreover, this is your first time

handling such a project alone.

You just wanted to do a good job.

But such disappointment

has already been a norm

for our investment department colleagues.

Where do I find

such an empathetic leader like you?

That's why I'm the best.

I'm sorry, An Yu.

I've never been in love before.

I don't understand

other people's feelings.

All this while, I've been
spending most of my time with Kai.

You know him too, right?

He is a straightforward person.

If he thinks it's unpleasant,

he will let you know.

So if I've said unpleasant things to you,

I'd like to apologize to you.

Why apologize when you did nothing wrong?

Well, I...

So, do you accept my apology?

You're so long-winded.

Do you accept it or not?

You did nothing wrong.

Why should I accept your apology?

All right.

Do you want to go to work together tomorrow?

Of course.

Let's have a hotpot

with Kai and Lailai after work tomorrow.

Sure.

The four of us

haven't had a meal together for a while.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yes.

We also haven't had a trip for a while.

I really want to go camping again.

Please come over.

Sir.

Based on your understanding,

why would Zhou Yuan send his spy

to our company?

Mr. Fu

helped him win child custody

two years ago.

Back then,

his attorney was Zhou Yuan's wife, Mi Lu.

I guess

that's how they met each other.

So they got closer.

I know that.

I was wondering why he is after Zhuoyue.

Sir.

Zhou Yuan kept going against Zhuoyue
in recent years.

I guess

it's because he sees us as a competitor.

Is Yimi Capital our competitor?

He has overestimated his capabilities.

I think so too.

He's out of his mind.

Right.

You once worked under An Wenbin.

What do you think of his imprisonment?

I was working at Xingchen Financial

after graduating from college.

I worked there for two years.

But

I already started working in Zhuoyue

when he was imprisoned.

So I'm not so sure.

Never mind.

I just had to ask.

Sir.

I should get back to work.

Come in.

Sir.

It's my first day today.

So I came over to say hi.

Just in time.

Allow me to introduce you.

Steven,

a major in Stanford Human Resources.

I specifically invited him from America.

He is Mr. Jiang.

You should learn more from him.

I've experienced everything you've been through.

And I have seen enough of Lin Zhanhong.

I advise you to be prepared.

Otherwise,

you will end up like me one day.

Hello, Steven.

Welcome to Zhuoyue.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Jiang.

Sir.

I shall get back to work.

All right.

Simple and direct.

Just like when I first met you.

Do

offer him guidance.

Then I'll have an extra helper.

Sure.

I know what to do, sir.

I should get back to work.

Okay.
