The previous matters had been thoroughly resolved, but the impact on the Zhan Group remained.
When Zhan Mohan had proposed announcing the impending dissolution of the Zhan Group, he had already considered how many senior executives would leave for their personal gain and how many would choose to return after the situation concluded.
Their departure signified their relinquishment of shares, leaving a pittance for the Zhan Group in the end.
In reality, the Zhan Group had been stagnant at a certain level for some time.
He had wanted to break through this plateau but was hindered by the old guards of the shareholders, who rejected his innovative and more avant-garde plans. Therefore, their departure might not be a bad thing but another opportunity for the Zhan Group.
"Brother, what should we do next?" Zhan Yichen asked. "Although I can still ensure the operation of the overseas branches, relying on those alone cannot bring all the Zhan Group's projects back to their former glory."
Zhan Yangyi also frowned. "My side hasn't been affected either, but I can only support the operation of the branches."
Zhan Mohan, however, was not as worried. "I had already thought about these matters when I was in the detention center. In fact, I had very bold plans before, which were rejected by those old guys back then. Now is the time to try them."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Zhan Mohan.
"Do you still remember the new energy project we worked on before?" Zhan Mohan asked.
Wei Yumeng certainly remembered; she had put a lot of effort into that project back then, and various incidents had occurred in the process.
"Brother, I understand. Are you planning to promote this new energy project internationally?" Zhan Yichen immediately realized.
Among the projects currently in their hands, the new energy project was indeed the most basic source of funding. Because it had been promoted nationwide, more and more people were using new energy, even entering every household.
If it were in the past, this would have been a considerable fortune.
However, for the current Zhan Group, more funds were needed.
"I understand," Wei Yumeng volunteered. "I am most familiar with this project, so let me handle it."
Zhan Yangyi pondered and then said, "Now that you mention it, it reminds me of someone. I had previously cooperated with a foreign company, and they had inquired about our new energy project. I believe they might be interested in such cooperation."
As he spoke, his expression became somewhat troubled. "However, this person has a bad temper and is arrogant, so it might not be easy to talk to."
"Brother, perhaps I should go," Zhan Yichen suggested. After all, it would not be good for everyone if Wei Yumeng had an unpleasant encounter with the other party over this matter.
But Wei Yumeng still insisted, shaking her head. "It's fine with me. I originally took over this project, so I understand it better than any of you. Moreover, I have some new ideas for this project that I believe will be useful."
Upon hearing this, Zhan Yangyi chuckled. He understood Wei Yumeng's temperament well; it was probably impossible to change her mind now.
"If that's the case, let's leave this matter to Yumeng. I believe in her ability."
Zhan Mohan also nodded. "Yes, it's settled. However..."
He still looked at Wei Yumeng with some concern. "However, that person is too difficult to deal with. You don't need to get stuck on this. We can think of other solutions later."
"I understand," Wei Yumeng nodded. She was quite confident about this matter. After all, she had managed to turn things around even when facing desperate situations before; this time wouldn't be worse than that.
After this matter was decided, Wei Yumeng devoted herself entirely to preparing for this project.
She knew clearly that this project was no longer just one among many for the Zhan Group, but an important project that carried the funding for other Zhan Group projects.
She had only one goal: to succeed.
Two days later, Wei Yumeng finally met with the partner.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang," Wei Yumeng politely extended her hand.
However, the other party made no move to shake it and instead sat down on his own.
Wei Yumeng awkwardly withdrew her hand. Although she disliked such impolite behavior, she had to suppress her emotions now.
"Mr. Zhang, I have heard about you for a long time. Although you are of Chinese descent, your company is thriving overseas. It's truly impressive."
Zhang Meng merely raised an eyebrow at Wei Yumeng's compliment. "Indeed, when it comes to operations, I am confident I can surpass the Zhan Group. I will never allow the mistakes made by the Zhan Group to happen."
In the eyes of outsiders, the Zhan Group was still paying the price for the previous accident, leading to its current state.
Wei Yumeng's hand under the table clenched into a fist. The Zhang Meng in front of her knew nothing. What right did he have to compare himself to the Zhan Group?
Yet, she maintained a standard smile. "What Mr. Zhang said is reasonable. You are indeed very capable in business, which is why we want to present this project to you."
Zhang Meng nodded slightly. "Tell me, what is your project about?"
So, Wei Yumeng explained the specific details of the new energy project to Zhang Meng.
"Mr. Zhang, in fact, the power generation system of this establishment we are in now already utilizes our new energy technology. Compared to ordinary electricity, new energy is more cost-effective and durable."
"Is that so? It sounds quite good," Zhang Meng said, but his expression changed. "However... compared to your technology, I trust your company itself even less."
A mocking curve formed on his lips. "After all, with a leader who could bring their company to this point, who knows what might happen during cooperation. What do you say?"
Wei Yumeng's lips began to twitch. To be honest, she already felt that there was no point in cooperating with this person. She wondered what it was like when Zhan Yangyi had cooperated with him before.
But now, she had no choice. Although Zhan Mohan had told her not to force it.
However, Wei Yumeng herself was never one to give up easily. Precisely because this matter was more troublesome, and the other party looked down on the Zhan Group so much, she was even more determined to show him the strength of the Zhan Group and make him regret what he had said today.
