The joint acquisition team between PT. Nusantara Eats and Gunawan Capital work at high speed. Within three days, they had narrowed the two main targets, "Sawadee Delivery" in Thailand and "Bahn Mi Express" in Vietnam. Both companies have a significant market share but are being hampered by cash flow problems and tight competition.
Luky held a meeting via conference call with analysts from Jakarta, Bangkok, and Ho Chi Minh City. Mastery foreign language skills are very useful. He can understand reports in Thai and Vietnam without the need for translation.
"Data shows Sawadee Delivery is stronger in the food segment, while Bahn Mi Express excels in fast logistics," reported a Bangkok -based analyst.
"However, Sawadee's share ownership is more complicated. There is the involvement of minority royal families, which can complicate the acquisition," added Analyst from Vietnam.
Luky listens carefully, financial analysis skills (basic) and premium business strategies (basic) that have been improved by the elite system process information quickly.
"Focus on Bahn Mi Express," Luky ordered. "The problem of ownership is clearer. The majority of shares are held by a venture capital who wants to come out. I will fly to Ho Chi Minh City tomorrow to lead direct negotiations."
The decision surprised his team.
"Boss, it's too risky. Let our legal team advance first," suggested Mr. Handoko by telephone.
"No. In a business like this, the presence of the main owner shows seriousness. I will decide on the spot," said Luky.
He ordered the flight the next day. Diana, who was appointed by her father to assist in this mission, would also participate.
"I have never been directly involved in this large acquisition," Diana admitted when they were in a private jet to Vietnam.
"The point is to understand what the seller really wants," Luky answered. "They not only need money. They need guarantees that the companies they build will remain alive and their employees are protected. That's what we will offer."
Arriving at Ho Chi Minh City, they were immediately picked up by a local team and were escorted to the Head Office of Bahn Mi Express. CEO, Mr. Nguyen Van Tuan, a middle -aged man who looks very tired, welcomes them.
"Welcome, Mr. Luky, Miss Diana," said Mr. Nguyen in a stammer English.
"Thank you for your time, Mr. Nguyen," Luky replied politely, then suddenly turned to the perfect Vietnamese language. "We really appreciate your hard work to build Mi Express."
Mr. Nguyen was surprised and touched. "You ... speak Vietnam?"
"I tried to learn it. To respect the host," Luky said humbly. That is the first step of the brilliant social engineering and cross cultural negotiation. The ice melted immediately.
The negotiation meeting began. Luky and Gunawan's team sat on one side, while Mr. Nguyen and his VC team on the other side.
"We consider that the MI Express is worth 1.8 trillion rupiah based on the latest valuation," said the VC representative.
"The valuation is based on the projection of growth that is no longer valid," said Luky directly. "The last quarter data shows a 15% decrease in the market share and an increase of 20% in the Burn Rate. Based on our analysis, the company's fair value is 1.5 trillion rupiah."
Mr. Nguyen looks down listlessly. He knew Luky said the truth.
However, Luky did not stop there.
"But, the 1.5 trillion figure is only for 100% ownership. I offer more than just money."
Everyone in the room was silent.
"What do you mean?" asked Mr. Nguyen.
"I offered 1.65 trillion rupiah. 1.5 trillion to buy 100% shares. And 150 billion additions to be allocated as a bonus for all employees who survive during the transition, plus guarantees there is no termination of employment in the next 2 years.
The offer was unexpected. Not only about money, but about heritage and respect. Mr. Nguyen almost did not believe. His eyes filled with tears.
"You are serious?"
"Very serious," Luky answered. "I didn't buy your company to kill him. I bought it to make it stronger, with you still as part of it."
The VC representative immediately agreed. For him, the 1.65 trillion offer was above their expectations. Mr. Nguyen, after thinking for a moment, nodded slowly.
"I accept your offer, Mr. Luky."
The preliminary contract was signed that same day. The whole process only takes 4 hours.
Ting!
[Global Expansion Mission "First International Acquisition" has been completed!]

Diana, who witnessed the whole process, could only shake her head in amazement when they came out of the building.
"I have never seen that negotiations that go so fast and smoothly. That is ... extraordinary, Luky."
"The key is to understand what their heart wants, not just their wallet," Luky answered.
News about the acquisition spread quickly. International media praised Luky's strategic steps. Nusantara Eats officially became a regional player.
However, this victory is not without consequences. His aggressive expansion attracted the attention of global players.
The next day, when Luky was checking technical integration with his IT team, an emergency message entered from the system.
Ting!
[Elite threat warning: Host's attention has been detected by 'Global Tech Fund', a Venture Capital Predator conglomerate from the United States. They are known to turn off the startup that was acquired by selling their assets and firing their employees. They consider hosts as new competitors in Southeast Asia and plans to carry out hostile acquisition attacks on PT. My job.]
This is a completely new level of threat. It is no longer the Wijaya family who only operates locally, but global financial predators with almost unlimited resources.
Luky immediately gathered his core team virtually.
"We got a new threat. A global VC called 'Global Tech Fund' might try to take over my job."
"GTF? That's a cruel company, Mr. Luky!" Rio exclaimed, looking panicked. "They have very large capital and an aggressive legal team!"
"Calm down," Luky said in a soothing voice. "We already have strong allies. I will contact Mr. Gunawan."
Luky called Pak Gunawan and explained the situation.
"GTF? Yes, they are sharks. But don't worry. Gunawan Capital has experience in facing them. The best defense is to make our company unattractive to buy. Strengthen fundamentals, launch new features, and raise valuations quickly.
Instant assistance from Pak Gunawan was very valuable. Luky acted immediately.
"Rio, 2 trillion funds from Gunawan will enter. Use for massive acquisition marketing. Recruit 100 tutors well -known exclusively. Launch a scholarship program. Create our users exploded in a month."
"Ready, Mr. Luky! I immediately executed!"
Luky also ordered his legal team to immediately implement "POISON PILL STRATEGY", a defensive tactic to make hostile acquisitions very expensive and unattractive.
A few days later, an official letter from GTF arrived. They offer to buy 51% of my assignment shares at a price of 5 trillion rupiah. It was a very tempting offer, almost double the valuation of reasonable.
Some minority investors began to urge to accept the offer.
Luky held an emergency meeting with the Board of Directors.
"The 5 trillion offer is a trap," said Luky. "They will buy, fire all of you, change the name of the application, and sell our intellectual assets to competitors. This is not an exit strategy, this is a murder."
"But 5 trillion, Mr. Luky. That's a very big money. How can we reject it?" asked one of the investors.
"Because in one year, I will make my job worth 10 trillion. Trust me."
Luky's absolute belief succeeded in convincing most of the council. They decided to refuse the offer.
Their reply was sent. The next day, a reply from GTF came. The contents are short, "Your rejection is a mistake. We will take the necessary steps."
The attack began.
First, they launched an imitation application exactly like my job in Indonesia with the name "GURKU", with almost the same features but offers a much cheaper price. They clearly do dumping prices to win the market.
Second, they began to recruit aggressively the top tutors from my assignment by offering a three -fold salary.
Third, they launched a black campaign in the media, accusing my task of selling student personal data.
Luky didn't panic. He has experience against Wijaya, and now his resources are much bigger.
He resisted in three ways:
Law: Gunawan Capital's legal team sued GTF for copyright violations and unhealthy competition practices.
Technology: With premium hacker skills (basic), Luky leads the team to strengthen data security and launch new features that cannot be easily imitated, AI-Powered Learning Assistant.
Public: He himself appeared in the media, bravely denied all accusations and showed a certificate of data security that was owned by my duties. Skill Public Speaking Elite made him very calm.
A fierce battle took place for two weeks. However, a combination of solid defense strategies, almost unlimited funds from Luky and Gunawan, as well as strong public support, making GTF attacks ineffective.
Finally, GTF withdrew the "My Teacher" application backwards from Indonesia. They realize that the cost to defeat Luky and his allies is too high.
This victory is a big achievement. Luky not only won the battle, but also made his name known in the global circle as a tough and non -intimidated person.
He held a small party at the office to celebrate the victory. All employees are present.
"We are no longer a small startup," Luky said in his remarks. "We are a champion that is recognized globally. But this is only the beginning. The world is waiting for us!"
The cheers of the employee filled the room. Their loyalty to Luky peaked.

Luky has passed his first international examination brilliantly. He is now not only the king in his own yard, but also a recognized knight in the global arena. However, he knew, the higher he flew, the more eagles who wanted to drop it. The real game has just begun.
