Chapter 107: A Stumbling Block on the Path to Spending Money

[Reminder to the host: The money in the game account already belongs to the company. Even if it hasn't been transferred to the company account by the time of settlement, the system will automatically count the money in the game account as System Funds.]

[The money that the system will not count includes project operating funds. For example: If a project has 1 million in operating funds and it hasn't been spent by the time of settlement, the unspent portion will not be counted as System Funds.]

[There are also business-related payments. For example: A customer places an order for one million, but by the time of settlement, the money for this order has not yet been transferred to the company account, so it will not be counted as System Funds.]

[…]

Heh!

He knew it would be like this. This damn system really doesn't give him any loopholes to exploit!

Fortunately, the game profit is only 200,000, and he discovered it in time.

However, from now on, he needs to keep an eye on the game revenue from Cangxue Games every day, otherwise, it would be disastrous for the settlement.

He finally understands; wherever Wei Yan is, he must be extra careful.

Thinking back to his first three settlements, two of the failures were related to this guy.

And he is also a stumbling block on his path to spending money.

Even though he left the Business Department, the apprentice he trained is also a rebel.

This guy is toxic.

"President Chen!" Fang Chang called out tentatively, seeing that President Chen hadn't reacted for a long time.

He noticed that ever since President Chen heard about the 200,000 profit, his expression had instantly become unhappy.

Could it be that he thinks the profit is too small? That's right, how could a big boss like President Chen care about a mere 200,000? His reaction just now was a bit of an overreaction.

It seems that if he wants to gain President Chen's recognition, he needs to work even harder and strive to become President Chen's right-hand man, just like Wei Yan.

"Hmm!" Chen Mo snapped out of his thoughts upon hearing the call, thought for a moment, and said, "From now on, you must calculate the profit amount every day and report it to me."

This was a critical moment for the settlement; he couldn't afford to be even slightly careless.

"Understood, President Chen!" Fang Chang nodded. He didn't think anything of President Chen's request; it was perfectly normal for a boss to be concerned about their company's revenue.

"Alright, that's all. Remember to notify me if there are any major changes in the company in the future."

Chen Mo said this, stood up from his seat, slowly walked over to Fang Chang, and patted his shoulder.

"Also, regarding the new project, you must be the sole decision-maker. No one else is allowed to interfere, not even to offer suggestions. Furthermore, just follow your original plan; no changes are needed."

After saying this, he took Shen Rou and left Cangxue Games.

Tianlong was just an accident, but that new project cannot have any more accidents. He doesn't need a second profitable game.

Moreover, in the entire gaming company, Fang Chang is the only one he can trust.

Entrusting the project entirely to him, combined with the initial draft proposal, and looking at the cases where Fang Chang designed several money-losing games, this time it is foolproof.

Sigh!

Chen Mo let out a long sigh.

Life is as lonely as snow!

Why does no one understand him?

He just wants to lose a little money; why is it so difficult?

"President Chen, are we going back to the Garment factory?" At this point, they had already arrived at the parking lot outside the office building, and Shen Rou asked.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo glanced at the time; it was past three o'clock. "It's time to get off work. Where are you going?"

"Ah!" Shen Rou was stunned for a moment. Work is over at just past three? But she quickly reacted. "There is a subway entrance not far from this office building; I can get there in a few steps."

"Good!" Chen Mo nodded upon hearing this, then got into the car and instructed Yang Dahai to head straight home.

There's no need to be too anxious about the 200,000 in the game account. Tomorrow, he will talk to Li Maode from the industrial park to see if there is a larger workshop.

This time, he has made up his mind. He must get a large workshop. Then he will buy more machines, hire more workers, and spend money ruthlessly.

With the few workers in the workshop now, the expenses every time don't amount to much money at all.

However, if the workshop expands and production increases, according to the system's requirements, the number of company sales representatives must also increase.

But with Wu Yu in the Business Department, and with him leading, the Business Department is a problem.

And there's that Cai Jing. Although she doesn't take as many orders as Wu Yu, her order rate is extremely stable, bringing in a small order of 100,000 or 200,000 every few days.

It's not a huge amount, but it's enough to make you feel uncomfortable.

He remembers that when she first came to the company, she was a fair-skinned girl. After running sales for a while, she looks like she's been through military training.

The base salary I give is not low; is there any need to work so hard? Isn't it better to just slack off?

When the workshop expands, he must find a way to get rid of these two people, otherwise the Business Department will be a major hidden danger.

Calculating the time, the training is almost over!

This won't do; the settlement is coming up soon. If these two are let back, and they cause trouble for him during the settlement, leading to a settlement failure, that would be troublesome.

He must not let this happen. He could extend the training period so that they return after the system settlement. Good idea!

Thinking of this, he took out his phone and called Li Shen. The call connected.

"President Chen, what are the arrangements?" Li Shen's excited voice came from the phone. President Chen hadn't assigned him anything to do for over half a month.

At the beginning, he was still learning office software, but now he has learned almost everything. Now, he just stays around every day, or wanders around the cafeteria; it's so boring.

"Hmm, there is indeed something I need you to do. You were the one who contacted the machine tool factory for the training last time, right?"

"Yes, President Chen. Has there been a problem with the training?"

"There's no problem with the training. I was just thinking that twenty days of training might be a bit short. After all, automated machines require programming, so it must be learned thoroughly and in detail. Therefore, I have decided to let them train for a longer period. You go and contact the machine tool factory over there."

"But President Chen, they only provided twenty days of training time. If we want to extend it, they probably won't agree," Li Shen said with some concern.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo said nonchalantly, "Just tell them that we will pay for the extra training time. Let them name their price."

"Alright, President Chen. I will communicate with them right now and get back to you."

"Good!" Chen Mo replied and hung up the phone, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Soon, Li Shen called back.

"President Chen, they are asking for a training fee of 100 per person per day."

"Alright, then let's extend it by 10 days." Chen Mo agreed without even thinking. One hundred per person per day, ten days is only 1,000, and ten people is only 10,000 yuan.

It's really too cheap; it's not even as high as the business trip allowance he gives.

… Machine tool factory, employee dormitory.

Wu Yu sneezed twice violently and casually pulled out two tissues to wipe his nose.

"Brother Yu, you wouldn't have caught a cold, would you?" a young man in the same dormitory asked.

"It's nothing. Maybe it's because the weather has changed recently, and on top of that, this dormitory is drafty, so I caught a bit of a chill." Wu Yu casually threw the used tissues into the trash bin nearby.

Calculating the time, just four more days and he can go back!
