Chapter 363 Men’s Clothing

One day later, at Tomorrow Group, in the President's Assistant office.

Shen Rou glanced left and right, then somewhat guiltily took a magazine from the drawer.

On the cover, three large characters were clearly displayed:

“Men’s Fashion!”

The background image was of a man in a suit, leaning back in a chair, with a casual expression, yet exuding an unapproachable aura of a high-ranking individual.

Looking at the person on the cover, Shen Rou couldn't help but be amazed.

The aura Chen Mo displayed in the magazine was completely different from the one she usually encountered when interacting with him in the office.

She flipped open the cover and looked further.

It was all pictures of Chen Mo in different suits, striking various poses.

Ring ring ring!

Just as she was engrossed in reading, the intercom on the desk suddenly rang.

Shen Rou jumped in fright, quickly put the magazine back into the drawer, and then answered the intercom.

Soon, Chen Mo's voice came through the intercom.

“Compile a report of the expenditures of the subsidiary companies and send it to me.”

“Okay, Chen Mo.”

Shen Rou quickly responded, waiting for the intercom to disconnect.

She quickly pulled out a document from the file rack beside her—it was precisely the expenditure report of Tomorrow Group's subsidiary companies.

Chen Mo had mentioned this yesterday, so she had already prepared it last night.

Picking up the document, she opened the side door next to the office and entered Chen Mo's office.

“Chen Mo, this is the expenditure report for all companies under Tomorrow Group that you requested.”

Saying this, she handed the document to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo reached out, took the document, and began to flip through it.

As Tomorrow Group continued to grow, its subsidiary companies gradually increased, and the monthly expenditures of each company would vary.

The system's requirement was that his spending could not affect the normal operation of the company.

For example, if he spent all the company's funds today, and tomorrow there was no money left to pay employees or even to pay taxes, this would not be allowed.

Therefore, to ensure he didn't overspend the system's funds, he would have Shen Rou compile a report every so often.

Looking at the expenditure report, specifically the total expenditure amount at the end.

He then compared it with his current remaining system funds.

Chen Mo nodded slightly; this month's expenses were just right, with not much left after deducting next month's necessary expenditures.

Not bad.

As long as he continued at this pace, in July and August, even if he couldn't fully convert the system funds, he could at least convert over 200,000 in system funds.

Of course,

if he worked harder, a full conversion of system funds would naturally be better.

After all, that was 30 million!

The difference between 200,000 and 30 million was not small.

If he could convert the full amount, he naturally should.

After confirming these details,

Chen Mo leaned back in his chair, relaxed; he had basically determined next month's expenses.

Tang Qiu establishing Baishu Law Firm would definitely be a large expense.

The rent for the office, renovations, and the salaries for new employees.

These were all expenses.

Also, when those impoverished elderly people came, a portion of them would surely form an elderly song and dance troupe.

The troupe's rehearsals would definitely require professional teachers, as well as a venue for dance practice, and housing for the troupe members.

All these matters required money to arrange.

Of course,

there was also a continuous expense, which was Changfeng Clothing Factory.

Construction there had been ongoing; currently, all other companies in the Industrial Park had moved out, leaving only Changfeng Clothing.

Therefore, within the park, apart from Changfeng Clothing's currently operating workshops and office buildings, approximately 90% of the other workshops and office buildings had been razed to the ground.

So, Changfeng Clothing Factory had always been a continuous expense.

Looking at the several expenses noted on the scratch paper, Chen Mo rubbed his head helplessly.

Finally, he wrote down “Nanhe Coffee” on the scratch paper.

After Nanhe Coffee unlocked its permissions, he could still invest in five coffee shops using system funds, and the revenue from all current coffee shops could also be used to expand new coffee shops.

In other words,

the number of new branches Nanhe Coffee could open each month was five stores invested with system funds, plus the number of coffee shops that could be opened with the revenue from Nanhe Coffee.

Although Nanhe Coffee had not yet turned a profit, its monthly revenue had increased significantly.

First, in Jiang City,

one Cat Cafe and one Maid Cafe had a monthly revenue of 800,000.

Originally, the revenue from the two special coffee shops was over 1 million, but due to the appearance of competitors, the current revenue had declined somewhat, but overall, these two special coffee shops were still profitable.

The remaining 18 premium coffee shops were still operating at a loss; however, according to statistical data, although these 18 premium coffee shops had not yet become profitable, their average monthly revenue was around 90,000.

In one month, the total revenue for 18 coffee shops was 1.62 million.

Therefore,

in Jiang City,

the total monthly revenue for 20 Nanhe Coffee shops, not counting expenses, was 2.42 million.

Then there were the 15 coffee shops in Kyoto.

The two special coffee shops had a total monthly revenue of 1.4 million.

However, according to the data, other competitors had already started to appear, and revenue was expected to decline in the future.

Next were the 13 premium coffee shops.

Because the consumption level in Kyoto was already very high, coupled with the dessert set meal discounts and the genuinely good taste of the coffee,

this led many people to choose to consume at Nanhe Coffee, which resulted in Nanhe Coffee shops in Kyoto having much higher monthly revenues than those in Jiang City.

Currently, a Nanhe Coffee shop in Kyoto has a monthly revenue of around 150,000.

This income is basically on par with Nanhe Coffee's monthly expenses.

In other words, Nanhe Coffee's operations in Kyoto were not losing money, but they were not profitable either.

There were a total of 13 premium coffee shops, with each store bringing in 150,000 per month, which totaled 1.95 million.

Adding the income from the two special coffee shops, that came to 3.35 million.

Therefore,

Nanhe Coffee's current total revenue is approximately 5.77 million.

And opening a new branch in Kyoto would cost approximately 3.5 million.

With 5.77 million in Kyoto, only one can be opened.

So, next time, the number of branches to be opened in Kyoto will be six.

As for why he continued to choose to open branches in Kyoto, after all, according to Nanhe Coffee's current development plan, it would definitely continue to open more branches as coffee shop revenue increased.

Following this plan, sooner or later, Nanhe Coffee would open branches all over the country.

So, sooner or later, Nanhe Coffee shops would fill Kyoto; it was merely a matter of time.

There was no need to choose other cities; once Nanhe Coffee reached saturation in Kyoto, then he could consider opening branches in other cities.
