Chapter 112: Li Maode’s Surprise

Poor management?

Losing too much money?

Chen Mo listened to Li Maode's words with an expression of envy on his face.

How he wished his Garment factory was also being managed poorly.

Unfortunately, things went against his wishes; the company's employees simply wouldn't give him the chance.

Sigh!

Chen Mo sighed secretly in his heart. He was bitter inside, but he couldn't say it out loud!

He looked up at Li Maode.

"Let's talk about the price for the workshop, but this time I might only pay you a portion of the advance payment first, and I'll pay the rest later."

"Manager Chen, that's easy to discuss. In this entire Industrial Park, I won't speak for other bosses, but you are definitely trustworthy."

Li Maode said with a smile.

In this entire Industrial Park, news of Manager Chen's staff canteen had long spread throughout the park; the food inside was better than any small restaurant outside.

He had also eaten there twice, and the taste was indeed excellent.

However, there were only a limited number of twenty or thirty boxes per day, and as a park manager, he was embarrassed to fight with the workshop employees for food every day.

So, after eating twice, he didn't go again.

Moreover, he also knew that Manager Chen had built a staff dormitory. Having invested so much, he wasn't worried at all that Chen Mo would run away halfway.

So, when Chen Mo said he would pay a portion of the deposit this time, he didn't hesitate at all.

"Manager Chen, the previous boss who rented this factory paid 500,000 a year, but there is a discount if you sign a five-year contract."

"However, since you want to rent it, Manager Chen, you can enjoy a discounted price if you just sign a three-year contract, which is 1.4 million in total for three years."

Chen Mo was speechless upon hearing this. Li Maode's words saved him 100,000 yuan directly, but 1.4 million was just about enough to last until the settlement ended.

He had already made up his mind to delay the payment time to Li Maode. On the day before the company's settlement, he would directly transfer all the System Funds to Li Maode.

He could spend all the excess System Funds in one go, and he wouldn't have to worry about sudden profits.

Chen Mo thought secretly that this way, he would have a place to spend money whenever he needed to. As long as the suddenly profitable System Funds didn't exceed 1 million, he could handle it completely.

And there were only a few days left until the settlement.

He didn't believe that he could make a profit of over 1 million in just these few days, right?

"By the way, Manager Chen, there is one more piece of good news to inform you of."

Li Maode suddenly said.

Good news?

Chen Mo was a bit suspicious when he heard this. If it were those "old foxes" like Li Shen saying this, he would have been on guard, but he wasn't very familiar with this Li Maode, and he didn't know if this good news was really good news.

"Manager Li, may I ask what the good news is?"

"Oh, it's like this. Didn't your Garment factory make a batch of work uniforms for us last time? The boss is very satisfied."

"It's almost October, and the weather is gradually cooling down. The boss plans to ask you to make a set of autumn work uniforms, and this time, he wants to order two thousand pieces."

"How about it, isn't it a surprise?"

Li Maode looked at Chen Mo with a smile.

Chen Mo's mouth twitched when he heard Li Maode's words.

A surprise?

It was more like a scare.

At the same time, he felt very fortunate in his heart that he hadn't let Li Shen come over.

With Li Shen's "old fox" attribute, he definitely wouldn't be able to withstand Li Maode's temptation and would surely take this order, then happily come to his office to report the good news.

However, since he encountered it this time, he naturally wouldn't let such a thing happen.

"Well, Manager Li, I'm afraid I have to apologize regarding the autumn work uniforms this time. Our workshop is preparing to transform. We are not going the crowdsourcing route anymore and are starting to adopt a self-production and self-marketing model to build our own clothing brand."

"Is that so? Then that's a real pity. I wanted to get some orders for you."

Li Maode sighed and said. He had wanted to use this matter to get closer to Chen Mo.

"However, since Manager Chen is following the brand route, I would like to congratulate you here, and wish you growth, success, and even greater glory."

While speaking, he even cupped his hands in a proper manner.

Chen Mo looked at Li Maode's congratulatory appearance and felt speechless.

Next, the two discussed signing the contract and then left.

Three days later, at night.

Tianlong, inside the game.

In the wilderness, two groups of people were confronting each other.

Looking at the guild names above their heads:

They were [Hao Shangtian] and [Lingyan Pavilion].

"Teng Wang, long time no see, you're still the same."

"You too."

At the front of the teams, Chen Cong and Du Ziteng were confronting each other.

The two guilds had old grudges, and recently, they had been clashing frequently over grabbing wild monsters.

As the tempers of both sides flared, it finally developed into the current scale of a guild war.

"Tuhao Ge, don't think that just because you have eight pieces of the Dragon Slaying Set, I'm afraid of you. Eight pieces of Dragon Slaying equipment can't unleash the true power of the Dragon Slaying Set, so you alone can't turn the tide of the battle. It still depends on the strength of our Brothers."

"Just now, I drew five sets of 100,000-tier equipment. Adding the previous five sets, I have 10 sets of 100,000-tier equipment here. Can you compare with that?"

Chen Cong looked at the text Du Ziteng sent and smiled disdainfully. He also typed a message and sent it out.

"You only know how to spend money; can't I? I also bought five sets of 100,000-tier equipment today, making a total of eight including the previous ones. However, I still have a few extra loose pieces of the Dragon Slaying Set, and I've distributed them to my subordinates."

"This guild war will definitely beat you until you submit."

The guild war was imminent, and the members of both guilds instantly clashed.

This guild war also instantly attracted passing players to watch.

The scene of this guild war was truly spectacular; they really wanted to participate.

Early morning.

"Brother Fang, good news."

Cangxue Games, Zhao Bowen rushed into Fang Chang's office.

"What good news? You're so happy."

Fang Chang looked up at Zhao Bowen's excited expression and asked suspiciously.

"Brother Fang, it's about Tianlong. Last night, two guilds had a war in Tianlong, and the two guild leaders each dumped 500,000 into the game."

"Today, Tianlong's revenue hit a new historical high, reaching over 1 million."

Fang Chang was stunned upon hearing this. The single-day sales of this game, even at the peak of Tianlong, weren't this terrifying!

At that time, there were guild wars in Tianlong, but back then, equipment could be guaranteed with 2,000 yuan.

Those rich players would spend 100,000 or 80,000 to draw a bunch of equipment to arm their guild members.

But it's different now.

The most expensive equipment costs 100,000 per set. Just selling a few sets is hundreds of thousands in revenue.

Fang Chang couldn't help but feel emotional. When Manager Chen designed this 100,000-per-set equipment, he thought no one would buy it.

But now it seems his previous thinking was completely wrong.

Manager Chen designed this 100,000-per-set equipment probably for these rich players who don't care about money.

Thinking of this, Fang Chang showed an expression of admiration once again.

He looked at Zhao Bowen and said.

"Write a report on this matter, and then send it to Manager Chen along with the statement."

1 million, that can be considered a surprise, right?
