435: New direction for Yuantu investment
In just half an hour, Fang Tianhai walked in through the door with a satchel and sat down beside them.
Su Yue, Lan Zijun, and the other two were sitting on the sofa, waiting for Fang Tianhai to bring them the latest news.
Su Yue glanced at Fang Tianhai and chuckled, "How is it? I wonder if you have any good news this time?"
Fang Tianhai looked at the expressions on their faces, feeling like he had a bitter story he couldn't tell.
Helplessly, he could only sigh, "Ah, I've been defeated by you. I have persuaded the shareholders. Take a look."
Lan Zijun took the contract from his hands and placed it on the table, wanting to see the contents of the contract.
Since the contract was a standard template, the content was all standard, and she only needed to look at the amount at the end.
In just two minutes, Lan Zijun laughed loudly, "The price you've given us is very suitable, so shall we... sign it?"
Fang Tianhai had originally thought they would need to take the contract back to review it, who knew they could sign it right here.
He pointed to the contract, "Please read it over a few times. Digital Future City's recent operations are indeed not perfect, it's been hard on you."
Lan Zijun understood there might be traps in the contract and casually placed it in Director He's hands.
Director He had always been the one to handle such matters and immediately began to examine it carefully.
At this point, Su Yue was the most bored person here. He pointed outside, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Hearing that Su Yue wanted to leave, Lan Zijun quickly blocked his path, "Wait, go take a look over there."
Since Fang Tianhai was present, some things were inconvenient to discuss face-to-face. She could only look at him apologetically and say, "Let's go outside and talk."
Before the two could leave, Fang Tianhai had already figured out what they were thinking and shook his head with a helpless expression.
"If I'm not mistaken, you must want to discuss the personnel issue."
Lan Zijun nodded a little awkwardly, "Your people are too undisciplined. It's not that we don't want them."
In her opinion, if Far View (Yuantu) Investment continued to use those people, she believed Digital Future City would still have no way to improve.
Fang Tianhai had long known they would bring this up. He took a deep breath, "You can dismiss them as you see fit."
The controller of Digital Future City had changed, so the underlying contracts naturally became invalid.
Given this, Fang Tianhai felt there was no problem with them finding other people.
Seeing that Fang Tianhai was willing to let them dismiss people, Lan Zijun couldn't help but say to Su Yue, "Go see if there's anyone worth keeping."
Hearing Lan Zijun say this, Su Yue smiled bitterly, "Picking the tallest out of the short ones, huh."
In Su Yue's eyes, the employees in Digital Future City were basically just coasting.
Keeping them here would basically achieve nothing.
Since Lan Zijun had given him the task, Su Yue had no intention of saying anything more and walked outside.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Su Yue pondered for a moment, called Liu Long, and asked them to come over as soon as possible.
Now, his identity was known to the people inside.
If the people of Digital Future City saw him arrive, it was very likely they would put on a show in front of him.
Liu Long, on the other hand, was completely different. He had never been here before and was a new face.
In just half an hour, Liu Long arrived at the entrance of Digital Future City in his car, looking puzzled.
At this moment, Su Yue was standing at the entrance waiting for him.
Su Yue sat in the car with a calm expression and chuckled, "General Manager Liu, I'll have to trouble you this time."
Liu Long had no idea what Su Yue needed him to do. He took a deep breath, "What do you need me to do?"
Su Yue pondered for a moment and pointed to the lobby inside Digital Future City, "We need to dismiss them. See if there are any talents."
With just a short sentence, Liu Long understood and laughed loudly, "That's simple. I guarantee you'll find suitable talents."
He was originally the Boss who controlled all the hotels, how could he not know how to test for talent.
It didn't take long for the two of them to arrive at the parking lot in the car.
Su Yue noticed that there wasn't even a parking sign around and began to pay attention to the place.
If Far View (Yuantu) Investment took over Digital Future City in the future, they would definitely need to put up many signs here so people wouldn't get lost.
Liu Long saw that Su Yue hadn't followed for a while and couldn't help but approach him, "General Manager Su?"
Su Yue heard Liu Long's voice and only then realized that he still had other matters to sort out.
He pointed inside, "Let's go. You lead the way. I'll wear a mask and follow behind you. Keep whoever you think is worth keeping."
This time, he chose to trust Liu Long unconditionally, believing he could definitely retain many talents for Far View (Yuantu) Investment.
In just a minute or two, Liu Long led Su Yue into the lobby.
Just like last time, most of the employees in the lobby were dozing off, and many were even sitting in corners playing on their phones.
Liu Long looked at the situation and frowned slightly, "You didn't tell me it was like this."
Hearing Liu Long's speechless words, Su Yue shrugged, "If there were usable people inside, I wouldn't have called you here."
It was precisely because he couldn't find suitable people himself that Su Yue felt he needed Liu Long to make the decision for him.
Suddenly, a staff member wearing a badge approached them, with a characteristic smile on his face.
"Do you two have an appointment?"
Liu Long had never expected such a place to require an appointment and subconsciously glanced at Su Yue behind him.
When he saw Su Yue shaking his head repeatedly, he said in a deep voice, "We don't have an appointment. See if there's anything we can play."
When the receptionist learned that the two had no appointment, he immediately put on an even brighter smile, "Then you can't play the signature attractions."
Liu Long, as someone who came to investigate, felt uncomfortable and frowned slightly, "Why? Is there someone inside?"
In his eyes, Digital Future City didn't have many people at all, so how could it require queuing for an appointment.
Before Liu Long could get angry, the receptionist approached him and slipped a business card into his hand.
"This is the address of another virtual city. You can play all the projects you want over there."
Liu Long looked surprised and put the business card in Su Yue's hand, "Actively giving guests to others?"
He had never seen such a receptionist and found it very novel.

Su Yue watched Liu Long's expression change repeatedly, how could he not know that Liu Long was already disappointed with the people here.
To get a better look at the service staff inside, Liu Long pointed inside, "We want to take a look inside."
When the receptionist heard that they insisted on going inside to look, he felt somewhat uncomfortable but moved aside.
In his eyes, the location had clearly been given to them, so they should quickly head to their destination.
No one expected that they would be unwilling to go to the location on the business card.
Su Yue saw the receptionist's gaze fall on him and pointed inside, "Let's see what interesting projects there are."
This time, the receptionist had no intention of talking to them and let them walk inside on their own.
Liu Long had never expected to encounter such a thing. He took a deep breath and suppressed his temper.
If the receptionist belonged to their hotel, he believed the receptionist wouldn't need to come to work tomorrow.
In just a minute or two, the two of them went inside and found that only a few people were playing games.
Su Yue looked at the staff inside and couldn't help but approach one of them, "Is your usual workload heavy?"
The staff member heard them say this and shook his head repeatedly, "We barely see anyone normally, we're too idle."
Liu Long saw them say this and approached them with a smile, "Isn't being idle good? You still get paid."
Anyway, the staff members were on fixed salaries, and the workload had nothing to do with their pay.
When they heard Su Yue and Liu Long mention salaries, they looked helpless, "We haven't been paid for several months."
Since Digital Future City declined, they hadn't received their salaries on time, and they felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Su Yue looked at their helpless expressions, and it was as if something came to mind.
He patted Liu Long's shoulder, "You look around here, I'm going out to make a phone call."
Liu Long understood that Su Yue must have something important to discuss with Zijun and walked over to buy a ticket on his own.
Since Su Yue had invited him out, he had to reimburse him.
At this moment, Su Yue had already walked into the corridor with his phone and called Lan Zijun.
Since Lan Zijun was signing contracts in the office, she answered the phone immediately.
"How is it? Are there any promising talents downstairs? It saves us the trouble of looking for people outside."
Hearing that Lan Zijun thought there were usable talents here, Su Yue looked speechless, "Forget about promising talents."
From the moment they entered Digital Future City, they hadn't seen a single person who wanted to work.
When Lan Zijun learned that almost no one in Digital Future City was usable, she had a faint premonition of something bad.
"Then, do you have something important calling me this time?"
Su Yue explained all about the delayed salaries and demanded that they pay all salary arrears in one lump sum.
Without the salary payments, they would definitely have to compensate a lot this time.
When Lan Zijun learned that all the employees' salaries hadn't been paid, she looked furious, "So that's what happened."
As the Boss of a large company, the thing she disliked the most was withholding other people's salaries.
Now that she knew Fang Tianhai had withheld many people's salaries, she naturally felt uncomfortable.
On the other hand, Su Yue hung up the phone and returned to Liu Long's side, finding him wearing glasses and playing inside.
The service staff looked at Su Yue's return with a smile, "Look how happy your friend is playing, do you want to go over there?"
Saying this, he pointed to the position opposite, as if wanting to see if Su Yue wanted to play together.
When Su Yue saw the service staff suggesting he play, he waved his hand repeatedly, "I'll listen to his evaluation later."
In his eyes, as long as Liu Long found it fun, then other people of the same level would also come here.
After about five minutes, Liu Long took off his glasses, looking speechless, "It's suitable for bringing children to play."
Just from his words, it was clear that the projects inside were very boring.
Su Yue saw Liu Long give such an evaluation and simply took off the mask on his face.
"It seems like there will be large-scale rectifications here in the future, otherwise, this will be a hot potato for us too."
Just then, someone recognized Su Yue's identity and quickly came up to him, "You... you should be that..."
Su Yue saw someone walk up to him and nodded slightly, "That's right, I'm the person who acquired your company."
He didn't deny it, after all, they would be seeing each other often in the future.
Moreover, Su Yue needed to dismiss a large portion of the employees here, so it wasn't a bad thing for them to see him in advance.
Since he had basically understood the situation here, there was no need for him to stay, and he returned to the office upstairs.
At this time, Lan Zijun and Fang Tianhai were calculating the employees' salaries, seemingly wanting to complete the handover as soon as possible.
When Lan Zijun saw Su Yue return, she quickly walked up to him, "General Manager Su, how is it?"
Su Yue shook his head repeatedly, "Not a single person is someone we can use. I think we need to completely restart."
Because they had been undisciplined for a long time, their personalities had become like this. Su Yue could only dismiss them.
When Lan Zijun learned that everyone had to leave, she simply signed a shell contract with them.
They would handle the placement of all employees, and Far View (Yuantu) Investment only needed the empty shell of the Digital Future City project factory.
Fang Tianhai was now in a weak position, and he had no other choice but to agree.
In just a few minutes, both parties temporarily signed the contract and each kept a copy.
Su Yue looked at the contract in his hand with a smile, "Then we can bring Wang Ye over now."
Among the few of them, only Wang Ye truly possessed the ability to create, the others did not.
Hearing that they were planning to renovate Digital Future City now, Lan Zijun pondered, "You guys plan it out first."
In her eyes, Far View (Yuantu) Investment had invested such a large sum of money here, they definitely needed to get their money back.
Su Yue knew that this project was primarily his responsibility and immediately agreed, "I'll call Wang Ye over now."
At the same time, Fang Tianhai left Digital Future City with the employees. They were all dismissed.
Even the security personnel at the entrance were dismissed, which meant Digital Future City no longer had its own dedicated employees.
