Chapter 6 Is a Budget of Two Hundred Thousand Enough?

Installing air conditioners in the workshop was something they often fantasized about. After all, the weather was getting hotter, and the air blown by the fans was already hot, and blowing it for too long would cause headaches.

Now, they actually heard that the new boss was going to install air conditioners in the workshop, which was something they never expected.

First, their wages were increased, and now air conditioners were going to be installed. Was this new boss here to provide welfare?

Some older employees felt it was somewhat dreamlike. They had moved between countless workshops and factories, and this was the first time they had encountered a boss who was so considerate of his employees.

"Quiet down, is there no one who knows about air conditioners?"

Wei Yan raised his hand and stopped the discussion among the crowd.

The discussion in the workshop gradually stopped, and then a dark-skinned young man walked out.

"Yan Ge, my sister sells air conditioners and appliances, and my brother-in-law installs air conditioners. I think I can help."

Wei Yan looked at the person who came and didn't expect it to be Li Shen.

Since someone knew about air conditioners, he was relieved. After all, it was quite urgent for him to handle everything by himself within two days.

Now that someone could help, it was even better, and it even solved both the sales and installation issues.

"Alright, I'll leave this matter to you. Also, the boss wants to replace the company's plaque with a better one, so you can handle that as well. Remember to be quick, you only have two days."

"I want to know the budget, otherwise I don't know what price range to choose."

Li Shen asked, as installing air conditioners in a workshop of nearly 500 square meters was not a small amount of money. If the budget was insufficient, it would be difficult for him to proceed.

Wei Yan heard this and looked at the transfer record, then slowly spoke, looking at the numbers on it.

"The total budget is 223,700. It's the total budget for the plaque and air conditioners."

"Why is there an odd number?"

Li Shen looked confused.

Wei Yan was also a little puzzled by the transfer amount, but he quickly figured it out.

"The boss probably did some research on this. The budget should be calculated by him, so when you make purchases, follow this budget. Also, the boss said to spend the entire budget and not leave any remaining."

"I understand, Yan Ge."

Li Shen immediately nodded. Because of his sister, he had some understanding of air conditioner prices. A budget of over 200,000 was enough to install air conditioners in a 500-square-meter workshop.

"Is there anything else?"

Wei Yan looked at Li Shen, who was standing still, and asked in confusion.

Li Shen hesitated for a moment and said worriedly.

"Yan Ge, the boss is investing in the factory like this, but the factory has no new orders to work on. If this continues, all of us employees will be idle. Is this really okay?"

Wei Yan frowned slightly when he heard this. It was certainly not okay for the workshop to have no orders. After thinking for a moment, he slowly spoke.

"Here, there should be a few pieces of high-grade fabric in the warehouse. Find those Masters and have them make a few sample garments. Remember to notify me when they are done, and I will look for orders."

Some of his previous customers had stopped placing orders due to fabric issues. Now that the fabric issue was resolved and was even better than before, he believed that sample garments made with good fabric could at least bring back some customers.

As soon as the boss took office, he invested such a huge amount of money in the company. As the company's salesman, he should also try to secure some orders for the company and let the company see some return on investment.

Moreover, the boss valued him so much.

……….

Old City Community,

"This is it. Thank you, Lawyer Tang."

"You live here?"

Tang Qiu looked at the old community buildings through the car window, her face showing surprise.

In her imagination, this Chen Mo was already a rich second generation, and his place of residence should not be such an old community.

Could it be that he had a conflict with his family and came out to start his own business to prove himself?

This kind of plot is in many TV dramas. Did she encounter it?

"Yes."

Chen Mo admitted generously, got out of the car, and left.

The place he lived here was rented after he got the System. It wasn't that he didn't want to rent a better community, but as a recent college graduate, he didn't have much savings.

Finally, after selection, only the Old City Community in the suburbs met his current economic requirements.

Six hundred a month, with a minimum rental period of half a year.

For this, he spent 4,000 to rent for half a year, including a 400 yuan deposit. However, this was only temporary. Once the settlement time arrived and he received one million, he could rent wherever he wanted, or even buy a house.

Let's just make do and live here for a few days!

Chen Mo smiled faintly and walked towards his unit building.

"You just know how to give birth. Now look, do you have the money to raise them?"

"I was truly blind to choose to marry you."

"……"

As soon as Chen Mo entered the building, he heard a woman's noisy quarrel coming from upstairs, followed by a loud bang of a door closing.

He paused for a moment, but finally chose to continue upstairs.

After all, this old building only had seven floors and no elevator. If he wanted to go home, he had to take the stairs.

When he reached the third floor, he saw a middle-aged man sitting on the stairs with a worried look on his face. He held a cigarette in his right hand, but it was not lit, just quietly held in his hand.

Seeing him walk up from below, he slowly moved his body, leaving a wide passage on the stairs.

Chen Mo simply glanced at the middle-aged man, then averted his gaze and walked past the empty passage next to him.

Based on the sounds he had just heard, it was not difficult to determine that a couple had had a quarrel.

He was not in a position to get involved in such matters, especially since he had no means of mediating marital conflicts.

The next day,

"Don't worry, President Chen. I already contacted about the fabric yesterday. It should arrive at the company this morning."

"Payment? A part has already been paid. Once the fabric arrives and is checked to be okay, the rest will be paid."

"I have already entrusted Li Shen with the air conditioner matter. If things go quickly, it can also be resolved today."

"Okay, I understand."

Inside the Room,

Chen Mo listened to Wei Yan's report, relaxing on the sofa.

He didn't go to the company today. After all, even if he went, there was nothing he could do. He just needed to supervise Wei Yan and have him spend the transferred funds as soon as possible.

It seemed that everything was under control, just waiting for the System settlement the day after tomorrow.

Thinking of this,

Chen Mo happily opened his mobile food delivery app and ordered a delivery, and it was a luxurious meal.

He would be a millionaire in just over a day. What was this small amount of money?

Changfeng Clothing Factory,

Wei Yan had just hung up the phone when he saw an employee walking over with a few sample garments.

"The sample garments are ready. Take a look."
