When Donnie approached Maholi, he hoped she would invest in Apollo Chain under the name of Cereal Empire Food Company. However, for the same reasons just mentioned, at that time, the board of Cereal Empire Food Company was not optimistic about Donnie's ability to start up two thousand stores of Apollo Chain all at once and achieve success.
Therefore, the board of Cereal Empire Food Company rejected Maholi's proposal and did not allow Cereal Empire Food Company to invest in Apollo Chain.
But both Maholi and Walker were very optimistic about Donnie's decision, so in the end they chose to invest in their personal capacity!
Even though it was a personal investment, Maholi was still the president of Cereal Empire Food Company and had considerable authority, so this did not hinder the deep cooperation between Apollo Chain and Cereal Empire Food Company.
