audacious in the extreme

"This time, there won't be any more accidents, right?" Chen Mo sighed inwardly.

He had already confirmed the script, and there were no changes.

The only difference from before was that this time, Wang Bin, Jiang Xue, and the other actors from "demon subduing record" had all gained a bit of fame after "demon subduing record" became a hit.

Once this sci-fi movie is released, these people might bring some traffic with them due to their popularity.

Therefore, even without promotion, this sci-fi movie would likely attract some fans to watch it.

There was no way to avoid this.

However, if he didn't allow them to shoot a new movie, they might go to other crews to film, and their salaries would also be a large source of income.

Just like Wang Qiang, who was directly scouted by a director and given a salary of 4 million.

If Jiang Xue, Su Tang, and the others were all like that, his System Funds wouldn't increase by much.

No matter what he did or how he arranged things, it didn't meet his requirements, so it was better to let these people continue to shoot new movies.

When the new movie is released, if it's a flop, it's very likely to cause the popularity that Wang Bin and the others gained in "demon subduing record" to plummet instantly.

The movie losing money could also indirectly lower the popularity of Wang Bin and the others.

This was simply killing two birds with one stone.

Chen Mo curled his lips slightly and turned back to his desk.

For this sci-fi movie, he had changed his mindset and didn't expect to lose everything.

As long as he ensured the movie was a flop upon release and had a box office revenue of 100 or 200 million, he could still accept it.

If the box office was 200 million, he could still lose over 460 million, which was almost the revenue of Cangxue Games for three months.

Overall, it was still very good.

Sitting at his desk, Chen Mo took out a notebook and listed the industries he currently owned.

There were two industries that were currently "ruined."

One was Cangxue Games, and the other was Nanhe Coffee.

Cangxue Games could bring him 160 million in revenue per month, and it was sustainable; every month, he had to figure out how to spend money because of this income.

This was the biggest traitor, and also the main reason why Mingri Group could develop so quickly.

Then there was Nanhe Coffee, an industry that once held high hopes, with the idea that the more branches opened, the more losses there would be.

He had calculated that if it maintained a loss-making state, then when the coffee shop reached 1,000 stores, the monthly employee salary expenditure alone would consume over 100 million in funds.

Plus some other expenses, basically Nanhe Coffee alone could offset the income of Cangxue Games.

But he never expected that Song Xia and Su Dan, these two guys, would actually cause so much trouble for him.

The Cat Cafe, Maid Cafe, he endured them all.

In the end, they even made a pastry set for him, along with recent charity work, which directly turned Nanhe Coffee profitable.

Simply audacious!

Chen Mo took a deep breath, let his emotions slowly calm down, and then began to write the names of other companies in his notebook.

Changfeng Garment Factory, Pet Park, Boring Short Videos, Lanpian Film and Television, BL Game Club, Hundred Books Law Firm, Wuren Construction.

Looking at the company names on the paper, Chen Mo felt a bit dazed.

Unknowingly, he had acquired so many industries.

Among these industries, Changfeng Clothing and Pet Park were the two oldest industries established; especially Changfeng Clothing, this was his first industry.

Although it was his first industry, Changfeng Clothing was still developing according to the path he envisioned, without any major deviations.

Currently, the various workshops and factories in the Industrial Park were still under construction. According to the report from Jiang Cheng, it would take about another half a year to be completely finished.

When the factory construction was finished, the renovation would also be a large capital expenditure.

Moreover, after the factory construction was finished, they would definitely recruit a large number of employees. When the number of employees increased to a certain extent, the monthly employee salary would be a large expense.

And as the factory expansion was completed, the daily consumption of water, electricity, and various consumables would also be very high.

This was his most perfect money-losing industry.

There was also the Pet Park, where he had also invested a lot of funds. According to the data report uploaded from there, the Pet Park would open in mid-September.

Chen Mo glanced at the current date and found that there were only a few days left.

He would go over and take a look then.

After all, a Pet Park definitely wouldn't have many people willing to visit. If no one visited, wouldn't Pang Tao be very sad? It wouldn't be good if he felt discouraged and gave up on the Pet Park.

It was necessary for him to go over and encourage him.

Let the other party continue to work hard and lose more money.

Money-losing industries should be encouraged.

And he also suddenly discovered a problem, which was that the system's investment limit for the Pet Park had been increased from 5 million to 10 million.

This was a good thing; he could consume more System Funds.

Looking at these two companies that opened earlier, they still maintained the state he expected.

Chen Mo finally felt a bit more comfortable in his heart; rebellious elements were ultimately in the minority, and most were still obedient babies.

No, there was another rebellious element, which was Lanpian Film and Television.

However, after his careful adjustments, there were basically no accidents this time.

The next one was Boring Short Videos.

This industry also had some episodes, which was that Yang Yaoyao and Liu Weiwei were promoting Boring Short Videos (though he discovered it later), leading to an increase in people watching Boring Short Videos. However, he had now recruited these two people into the company. Because of the company's rules, they could no longer continue to promote it.

Without promotion, it would not attract more users to enter Boring Short Videos to watch.

But because of the previous promotion, there were still many users currently, so the academic live streaming could still have considerable revenue every month.

However, at this time, Boring Short Videos only had one academic live streaming with revenue, which was simply not enough to support the profitability of Boring Short Videos. After all, the expenses of Boring Short Videos were very huge.

So overall, Boring Short Videos was still in a state of loss, and the impact was not very big.

Finally, there was the BL Game Club, Hundred Books Law Firm, and Wuren Construction.

These three companies, Wuren Construction was still in the registration stage, so it wouldn't be considered.

BL Game Club and Hundred Books Law Firm hadn't been established for long, and there were no rebellious phenomena.

In terms of income, there was no revenue to be seen, but apart from the initial company location selection, renting, and renovation, which cost a large sum of funds, the current expenses were just the company's expenditure for those employees, as well as some daily expenses and taxes.

The overall consumption was not large either.

The 100 intern lawyers on the law firm side could no longer be recruited, and there were no other places to expand spending.

It was the BL Game Club that still had some room for operation.
