Chapter 717: Capital Injection (Part 2)
Su Mo replied with a smile. Under normal circumstances, if the Federation insists on handling things according to the signed agreement, everyone not only has to return the advance payment, but also pay the Federation a huge amount of liquidated damages. That's not a small sum, not even Su Mo can afford it right now.
"It's a good thing, but Lord Zhao Yu in charge of the overall coordination wants our Chenxi Group to produce another batch of goods, and the price is better than before."
Qian Chengxue explained to Su Mo.
"Are you worried about another transportation issue? So you dare not accept it?"
Su Mo thought for a moment and asked.
"That's just one aspect. A bigger reason is that the company currently has no funds for production. Right now, all industries have been severely hit, and Federation Bank is also in financial distress, unable to lend money. Otherwise, the current market conditions are the best. Once produced, selling them will be no problem at all."
Qian Chengxue said with a headache.
"This is no big deal, I'll transfer it to you."
Su Mo picked up his phone and started operating.
It wasn't long before Qian Chengxue's phone popped up with a message. She picked it up, glanced at it, and her face showed a look of surprise.
"628 million Star Coins, so much? Where did you get this from?"
"It's not much, just a small amount."
"That's not much? Be honest about where this money came from, and don't do anything stupid!"
"Relax, this is the money won in the duel that day, just right for production."
"Really? But isn't that not very good?"
"What's wrong with it? Anyway, this money was like a windfall. Besides, I totally agree with your current view that now is the best time to ramp up production. Not to mention for making money, even selling a bit cheaper to the Federation is considered supporting the Federation, right? There's a saying, the frontline is the first battlefield, and logistics is the second battlefield. Although we can't contribute on the first battlefield, at least we can contribute a little on the second battlefield, and incidentally, making some money is quite nice too."
Su Mo said in a very good mood.
"Aren't you afraid of losing?"
Qian Chengxue replied with a smile.
"Lose then lose, it's no big deal. But I feel there's no way we can lose. With the market this good right now, if we seize the opportunity and ramp up production, we will definitely make a hefty profit. It won't be long before we multiply our profits several times. By then, we'll truly achieve financial freedom and can take the opportunity to enter other industries."
Su Mo said with great confidence. He had already thought it through, that as long as he could seize this opportunity, he could make a lot of money. By that time, he could use the money earned to buy technology from Star Ring City and transition to upgrading the industrial chain.
"Okay, I'll transfer the money to the finance department and ask them to arrange the procurement affairs."
Qian Chengxue nodded in agreement.
"Once it's arranged, shall we have dinner and a movie tonight? It's been a long time since we've been together."
Su Mo cheerfully extended the invitation.
"Alright."
Qian Chengxue blushed slightly and agreed. She was also a bit slightly excited inside that this wooden head finally got a clue.
"Then I won't disturb your work, I'll go make arrangements first."
Su Mo left in a very good mood.
Qian Chengxue watched the departing figure of Su Mo, a faint smile appeared on her face, and she then picked up her phone to call Sun Li and the others.
Not long after, Sun Li, Tang Yao, Liu Mei, Zhao Han, and a dozen other key executives all gathered.
"Sister Xue, what did you call us for?"
Sun Li asked with a headache, recently the company was in a semi-paralyzed state, she was almost worn out from all the work.
Qian Chengxue replied with a smile: "Of course I called you for something, the company has money now, I want you to immediately organize procurement and production, make the factory operate at the highest efficiency."
Hearing Qian Chengxue's words, Liu Mei's face showed an astonished expression, staring at Qian Chengxue.
Sun Li and the others excitedly asked.
"Sister Xue, you are not lying to us, where did the money come from?"
"Why would I lie to you, Su Mo gave it."
Qian Chengxue explained.
"That's awesome, I never realized Su Mo was a hidden golden turtle, why didn't I see it back then, what a pity. By the way, how much did he give?"
Sun Li asked with glowing eyes.
Qian Chengxue smiled helplessly and said: "648 million Star Coins, I will transfer it all to the company account. This money was hard-won by Su Mo, and every penny must be spent wisely."
"Haha! So much, our company is going to rise."
Sun Li replied excitedly.
"Sister Xue, you don't have to worry, we know what to do."
Tang Yao said.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Qian Chengxue nodded.
...
At night, in a very high-end luxurious restaurant.
Su Mo and Qian Chengxue sat by the window, overlooking half of the Imperial City through the window.
This restaurant is located on the 888th floor.
For the appointment, Qian Chengxue specially wore a fitted blue dress, exuding an elegant aura.
At this moment, a beautiful waitress served one exquisite dish after another.
Su Mo opened a bottle of red wine and poured a glass for Qian Chengxue.
"How do you like this place I chose, I searched for it for a while."
"It's nice, this restaurant is quite famous, I came here once before to meet important clients, but there are a few diners here today."
Qian Chengxue looked at the somewhat empty seats and said thoughtfully.
Su Mo scratched his head and replied: "Probably because the economy isn't doing well."
"Definitely, actually when the Federation exempted us from the huge liquidated damages, they also warned us that in handling the death disputes and compensation issues with the Gaojia Republic, we must go through proper channels and are not allowed to use threats or forceful methods to recover losses. Everything must follow the Union Alliance Agreement, which actually indirectly protects the Gaojia Republic to share the losses, and inevitably will severely impact the Federation's economy."
Qian Chengxue sipped the red wine and said to Su Mo.
"From the Federation's perspective, this is understandable, after all, if Gaojia collapses, the Alliance's strength will be greatly reduced, and we'll face even more pressure from the Imperial Army."
Su Mo saw it very clearly, he could understand why the Federation had to do this.
"Let's not talk about that, let's just enjoy the meal today."
Qian Chengxue put aside those tedious matters and raised her glass to Su Mo.
"Alright."
Su Mo also raised his glass.
....
In the Chenxi Company Building.
In the finance room, Liu Mei was still calculating the reports.
"Sister, it's so late, aren't you going home yet?"
A short-haired, intellectual woman in black professional attire with brown hair asked with concern.
"Sister Zhang, you should go home first, there's nothing much for me to do at home. I'd rather finish up what I'm working on before leaving, so you don't have to worry."
Liu Mei replied with a broad smile.
"I say, you working overtime so hard every day is not good, you're at the age of boundless youth, yet you don't even go find a boyfriend."
"I'm not in a hurry."
Liu Mei squeezed out a smile and said.
