Chapter 272: Workshop Reconstruction

146 million. Looking at this number, Chen Mo felt a wave of headache. How was he supposed to spend this?

After thinking about it, he made a direct call to Wei Yan.

"Add another 20 million to the project funds for the new game."

"Even if you don't need it, you have to use it. If all else fails, just make more card decks for me. Other turn-based games have 100 cards; you make me 300 or 500 cards. Isn't having so many cards a kind of innovation in itself?"

"Alright, I have other things to do, so I'm hanging up now."

After saying this, he hung up the phone immediately without waiting for Wei Yan to respond.

That was another 20 million spent, leaving 126 million remaining.

The film company could spend a lot. Luo Xiao lost over 30 million on one movie; if he invested a bit more, wouldn't he lose even more?

Besides, Luo Xiao had already contacted him last night and would be coming over with Wang Bin the day after tomorrow.

Wang Bin, huh? He had been an extra before, so his acting skills definitely wouldn't be up to par. Letting him play the lead would absolutely make the movie even worse.

In fact, when investing in movies, choosing those trending celebrities or young idols would certainly consume more capital, but there were simply too many people chasing stars nowadays.

Even if the movie was poorly made, those star-chasing fans would absolutely support their own idols, whether male or female.

If things went wrong, under the influence of the fans, the movie might even end up making money.

Even if it didn't make money, with the support of those fans, it likely wouldn't lose much.

Therefore, he immediately abandoned the idea of hiring trending celebrities.

If he was going to use anyone, he would use the most ordinary, no-name amateurs. This way, without the traffic from trending celebrities and without acting skills to support it, the movie would absolutely be terrible from start to finish.

Chen Mo smiled faintly. He had high hopes for Lanpian Film and Television.

However, without a lineup of trending celebrities, the amount he invested couldn't be too high, and it was impossible to dump all of the 100 million-plus funds into it.

So he still needed to find other ways to spend money.

Ring, ring, ring! The phone rang. Caller ID! Jiang Cheng.

Did something happen at the Garment factory? Chen Mo answered the phone, feeling puzzled.

"Is something the matter?"

"General Manager Chen, I have something to report." Jiang Cheng's voice came through the phone.

"Go ahead!" Chen Mo nodded and spoke. He didn't know what Jiang Cheng had to report; he had already arranged most things for the Garment factory, so what else could there be?

"It's like this, General Manager Chen. As the Garment factory continues to grow, our employee canteen and employee dormitory will definitely not be enough, so…"

Jiang Cheng briefly explained the problems the Garment factory was about to face after its expansion, and at the same time, shared the solution he had thought of last night.

After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, Chen Mo fell into deep thought.

He had only issued the order for the Garment factory to gradually expand, but he had indeed overlooked the issues of the employee canteen and employee dormitory.

However, the method Jiang Cheng described was actually quite interesting.

Spread the news about hiring to let all the companies in the Industrial Park voluntarily move out. Then, take the opportunity to rent all the vacant workshops.

This batch of rent would be a significant expense, but now, considering the monthly income of over 100 million, the rent and the renovation of the rented factory buildings were really nothing.

He needed to think of a way to consume more capital.

Currently, the factory workshops in the Industrial Park were basically two-story structures, which was a bit of a waste of space.

If he rented them and rebuilt them.

For example, for the employee dormitory, he could completely build a 4-story or 6-story employee dormitory.

It would not only save space but also perfectly solve the problem of insufficient employee dormitories. More importantly, it would give him an extra expense: the cost of building the employee dormitory.

This would be much more expensive than just renting and renovating the workshops.

That's right, do it this way. He was just worrying about having nowhere to spend money, and Jiang Cheng had found him a place to spend it. Jiang Cheng was truly worthy of being the person he had chosen himself. A capable lieutenant indeed!

"This matter is approved. Rent all the vacant workshops for me. Additionally, when you communicate with Li Maode, talk to him about the fact that after the workshops are rented, they will be demolished and rebuilt. Ask him if that is acceptable."

"If it's not acceptable, disclose to him that I might move the company to another Industrial Park. If he agrees, we can engage in a long-term partnership with him."

Renting the workshops and demolishing them for reconstruction would certainly require obtaining consent from the Industrial Park.

"General Manager Chen, what do you mean by demolish and rebuild?" Jiang Cheng asked cautiously. He didn't understand why General Manager Chen wanted to demolish and rebuild the workshops.

"If we want to expand to have larger-capacity employee dormitories and employee canteens, the size of the workshops in the Industrial Park is not quite sufficient. We need to rebuild an employee dormitory ourselves."

"And since we are going to rent all the workshops in the Industrial Park, we must plan it properly so that the layout of the Garment factory appears more neat and orderly."

Chen Mo explained his thoughts. Jiang Cheng was now the general manager of the Garment factory, and he would certainly need to be in charge of the factory area reconstruction. Telling him briefly now would allow him to prepare.

"I understand, General Manager Chen." Jiang Cheng immediately grasped General Manager Chen's meaning. "I will go communicate with Li Maode right away."

"Hmm!" Chen Mo nodded and hung up the phone.

At Changfeng Clothing, Jiang Cheng put away his phone and left the office directly. He needed to communicate with Li Maode as soon as possible.

In the Industrial Park office building, inside the manager's office, "General Manager Jiang, is something the matter?" Li Maode looked at Jiang Cheng, who had hurried over, with a smile on his lips, and poured a cup of tea at the same time.

Yesterday, he had received news that General Manager Chen had moved to the Group, and now Jiang Cheng was serving as the general manager of the Garment factory. This matter didn't have much impact on him, so he hadn't paid much attention to it. However, today, this newly promoted general manager had come directly to him, which did surprise him a little.

"I have come to discuss a matter with Manager Li…" Jiang Cheng detailed his plan to Li Maode.

"Is that so…" Li Maode tapped his fingers lightly on the desk, falling into deep thought.

If they followed Jiang Cheng's method and spread the news, those bosses in the Industrial Park would definitely have ideas, and returning the workshops was only a matter of time.

After all, even without spreading the news, a few bosses in the Industrial Park had already approached him during the Chinese New Year period to discuss the matter, indicating that it was highly likely they would switch to other workshops this year.

Therefore, Jiang Cheng's method would only speed up the departure of those company bosses.

If it were just that, he would definitely agree to Jiang Cheng's request without hesitation. After all, to him, it was the same no matter who he rented the workshops to, and renting them all to the Garment factory would actually be less of a hassle for him.

However, there was one point he truly couldn't make the decision on. And that was demolishing and rebuilding the workshops.
