Chapter 909 I have nothing to discuss with you
Wu Hongcai finally received good treatment with the help of his parents.
However, due to the delay in rescue, irreversible damage was caused to his body.
Wu Hongcai was still in poor health after being discharged from the hospital.
His mouth and eyes are still a little crooked. Although it doesn't look very obvious, he looks different from a normal person.
Sometimes saliva would flow out of the corners of his mouth inadvertently, making his whole face look crooked.
He can still speak normally now, but he can't speak too fast.
He would get scabby and flustered if he spoke even a little faster.
He didn't know why he had become like this. He was completely different from his former high-spirited self.
Wu Hongcai will definitely not be able to continue running the magazine like this.
Moreover, the magazine office has been smashed and looted, and it no longer has a normal working environment.
He had been involved in so many lawsuits and had fallen ill, and was already penniless.
Even his parents' pension money is all spent on him. If he gets sick in the future, they probably won't be able to pay for it.
His parents gave up almost everything for him, and in his current condition he has no way of making money to support them.
The magazine still had some employees, and if it wanted to close down, they would have to be relocated.
Wu Hongcai couldn't come up with the money himself, so the only thing he could do was to sell the magazine.
When the magazine was at its peak, someone offered 50,000 yuan to buy it, but he refused to sell it.
Now, after his management, the business is on the verge of bankruptcy.
More importantly, because of these lawsuits, the magazine’s reputation has been completely ruined.
Wu Hongcai, dragging his still-unrecovered body, looked everywhere for someone to buy the magazine.
He frequently contacted people who were previously interested in the magazine, but now these people didn't want to pay any attention to him.
Wu Hongcai was busy with the acquisition of the magazine, but in the end no good news came.
He originally set the transfer price at 10,000, but now in order to sell the magazine as quickly as possible, he has to lower the price step by step.
From ten thousand to eight thousand and then to five thousand. No one wanted to hear him talk about the price. As soon as they heard that he was going to sell the magazine, they ran away without looking back.
Wu Hongcai had no choice but to lower the price again to three thousand, but still no one was interested.
For many people, the magazine has become an empty shell to them.
Buying a magazine like this that has no good subordinates and no reputation is equivalent to starting over.
If a normal person really wants to be able to run a magazine, it would be better for him to start from scratch.
After all, for them, the situation can't be that bad.
Once they take over Wu Hongcai's magazine, they will have to reorganize it and completely cleanse it, which is too difficult for them.
Although Wu Hongcai was anxious to sell the magazine, he refused to lower the price any further after it reached 3000 yuan.
Half a month passed like this, and not only did the magazine fail to sell any copies, but even the former employees came to cause trouble.
It was only at this time that Wu Hongcai began to panic.
Just when he was at his wit's end, Editor-in-Chief Zhang found him.
"Wu Hongcai, Boss Wu, I heard that you are planning to sell the magazine recently? Would you consider selling it to me?"
The smile on Editor-in-Chief Zhang's face was so bright that Wu Hongcai couldn't help but suspect that he was gloating.
He was a little angry, so he turned his head away and didn't want to talk to him.
"Boss Wu, I know you've been seriously ill and the magazine is in trouble now."
"You've reached your wits' end. If you continue to behave like this, I won't bother with you anymore."
"I'll let you fend for yourself then. When you come to beg me again, don't blame me for not letting you in."
Editor-in-Chief Zhang imitated Wu Hongcai's way of speaking, and every word he said was extremely arrogant.
Wu Hongcai's face looked ugly, and after a painful struggle, he stretched out five fingers.
"If you can offer that price, the magazine will sell it to you."
"Five hundred dollars. Considering that you used to be my employer, I agree."
Editor-in-Chief Zhang's words sounded awkward, and Wu Hongcai's face immediately changed when he heard his words.
"500 yuan, you're dreaming!"
"If I had offered 500 yuan earlier, my magazine would have been acquired by someone else. How could I have waited until now?"
"Mr. Zhang, I feel indebted to you for what I did in the past. Now it seems that a cold-blooded person like you is not worthy of my feelings for you."
"When you had nothing, I valued your talent and personally brought you to your current position."
"As soon as you were able to do so, you kicked me out. Now you're even trying to add insult to injury. A shameless person like you will never succeed in your life!"
Wu Hongcai stumbled a little when he spoke, but of course he said these words shamelessly.
He treated Chief Editor Zhang as a fool. He could distort the facts in front of him, so he had no idea what he said to others behind his back.
Editor-in-Chief Zhang sneered a few times. In the past, he had always been patient because of their past friendship and had never thought of breaking up with him.
Now, listening to his shameless words before, Editor-in-Chief Zhang really couldn't help it.
"Wu Hongcai, who said I was poor and unknown when I first came to your magazine?"
"At that time, the articles I wrote had already started to make money. You saw my potential and recruited me."
"It turned out that I did a good job, and the magazine started to take off under my leadership."
"It's obviously my own ability, how come it becomes your credit? People who don't know would think that I relied on you to get to where I am now."
Editor-in-Chief Zhang sneered as he spoke, and just thought it was funny.
When the editor-in-chief said these words without any mercy, Wu Hongcai felt hot on his face and a little embarrassed.
But he is so thick-skinned that he pushes the blame onto others even though he knows it is his own problem.
"You are talking nonsense. If I hadn't given you such a good platform, how could you have achieved what you have today?"
"You achieved something without asking for anything in return, and this is how you treat me?"
"I really regret being so good to you, and I regret even more that I spent so much effort to train you."
"If I had known you were this kind of person, I should have found someone else to train instead of wasting my time and energy on you!"
Wu Hongcai said these words just to make Editor-in-Chief Zhang feel guilty so that he could easily control him.
He never felt that he had done anything wrong from the beginning to the end. Even now, when he was in such a desperate situation, he clearly needed help from others, but he still spoke with confidence.
"Okay, Boss Wu, I'm not here to listen to your lecture."
"I'm afraid there's no one else who would dare to buy your magazine except me. If you're sure you want to offend me and you're sure we can't have a peaceful discussion, then don't tell me anything. I'm leaving now, okay?"
