Chapter 202 You'll Have to Spend Money (16)

"I can't spend it all, I simply can't spend it all!"

"Yesterday I gained 10 in negative emotions and 150 in positive emotions. In just ten days, I've gained 15 million in positive emotions. How am I supposed to spend them all?!"

Although the emotional limit has now risen to 500 million, at the rate of positive emotion accumulation, I'll be in trouble again in about twenty days.

As Chen Yu looked through the various dreams he had created, he felt that he might have harmed himself.

The Dream Man series consists of eleven characters, each harboring hidden dangers and serving as his weapon to harvest negative emotions.

However, one's own martial arts don't care about this or that; they do whatever is convenient.

It only cares about consuming positive emotions; it doesn't care what happens to Chen Yu himself.

Chen Yu opened his mental brain and read the contents over and over again more than a dozen times, but he still couldn't figure out how to spend the money.

Just as he was having a headache, the office door was pushed open, and Luo Tong, with dark circles under his eyes, walked in and casually took a bottle of cattle and horse extract from the shelf next to him.

Just before the other person was about to open it, Chen Yu stopped them, saying, "Luo Tong, do you think that just because you acted naturally, I'll let you drink it?"

"I'll just have a sip."

"You're going to drink a whole bottle in one gulp, huh? No drinking allowed!"

Luo Tong, dissatisfied, put the cattle and horse extract aside and handed over a document instead.

After taking the document, Chen Yu closed his eyes and gasped.

"Detailed Revenue and Expenditure Statement of Tianyuan Agricultural Implements and Machinery Factory in the First Half of 2077".

If a person has bad luck, then bad luck will continue.

I was still thinking about how to spend my money when something else started giving me money.

After calming himself down and preparing himself mentally, Chen Yu opened the document and began to read it carefully.

In the past six months, Tianyuan Agricultural Machinery Factory has turned a profit.

All previous loans have been paid off, and the company now boasts three star products: Dream Screws, external display devices, and Tranquil Herbal Tea. After deducting production and labor costs, monthly revenue is approximately 1143 million.

As the parent company of Tianyuan Agricultural Machinery Factory, Tianyuan Chenguang Co., Ltd. has a dream revenue of approximately 12 million, all of which comes from the "Dream People" series.

The company's main expenses are salaries, rewards from the "Quiz Showdown" game, and salaries for school teachers.

As for the library and the tutoring classes run by Bai Yanbing, those are small sums of money.

After all the calculations, the company had another 32 million in its accounts.

Looking at the last bit of money, Chen Yu remained relatively calm.

The entire Changsheng Prefecture and even the entire Daqian Dynasty adopted a dual currency system of cash and magic power. This currency system is a bit troublesome to use, but it involves the interests and power division of many star lords, so it has been used to this day.

As long as the money doesn't evoke positive emotions, Chen Yu can accept it, as long as it doesn't interfere with him using his magical power.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yu's eyes lit up, and he suddenly had a good idea.

Pointing to the final expenses, he said to Luo Tong, "How about I use my magic to pay these expenses? The company will give me cash, and I'll use my magic to pay them!"

Although he didn't know why Chen Yu wanted to do this, Luo Tong still explained seriously, "Mr. Chen, that won't do."

"Why not?! It's my company, my money, my magic power, my people—why can't I just transfer money from my own pocket to my own?!"

“You said it was just a matter of money being transferred from one hand to the other… There was a case where a company’s legal representative used magic power and cash to forge company records and then fraudulently obtain loans. After it was exposed, that person fled to another state with the magic power he had acquired at a high price. I heard that he even achieved the Golden Core there and became the master of a new conglomerate. Since then, the Star Lord has stipulated that when companies and factories have cash, cash payments must be made first, and then magic power payments can be used.”

"The predecessors cut down the trees, and the successors suffer the consequences!"

“There’s nothing we can do, that’s just how the rules are,” Luo Tong sighed. “Behind every law lies a bloody lesson, and new laws and regulations are constantly emerging every day. If you’re not someone who specializes in these things, you simply can’t understand them.” Chen Yu stared at the document, his heart filled with gloom.

He bought Tianyuan Agricultural Machinery Factory because he valued that it was unprofitable and would lose money.

But why is this factory still profitable?
What's even more terrifying is that it's making money at a rate that's enough to buy three or four of itself every month. If it continues to expand at this rate, will it be left with no choice but to wait for its demise?
Thinking of this, Chen Yu slammed his fist on the table and stood up, declaring that he would never admit defeat!

If God wants me to make money, I'll just have to spend it to prove him wrong!

A mere 32 million, plus 1.5 million in positive emotions, watch me spend it all in no time!
However, after thinking for a while, Chen Yu realized that he really didn't have any good ideas.

But it's okay, just because you don't have it doesn't mean others don't!

Looking at Luo Tong, Chen Yu cleared his throat and said, "Luo Tong, there's a mission here."

Luo Tong immediately straightened his back and took out his notebook: "President Chen, please speak."

“The company is making money now, but money that can’t be spent is just worthless paper. We have to find a way to spend it.”

"Oh, I see. And then?"

"Please put your heads together and get the factory workers involved to think of a way to spend the money."

"Understood. Any requirements?"

"No... no, there is."

Staring at Luo Tong, Chen Yu said seriously, "Don't put so-called profits first. This money is for spending, not for making profits, understand?"

"Why... I understand now!"

"No, you don't understand!"

Seeing Luo Tong's sudden realization, Chen Yu instinctively stopped him from saying he "understood" her.

These little devils only know how to use the guise of "understanding you" to stab you in the back. They're all covered in blood but still excitedly saying, "President Chen, look how well I did it!"

What's so great about it!
He's gone mad!
After gesturing for Luo Tong to sit down, Chen Yu said earnestly, "We don't have that many plans or backup plans. I just want you to spend money, and to spend it meaningfully. Make sure you pay the insurance you're supposed to pay, give the salary you're supposed to give, and don't neglect any benefits. Every little bit of money you can spend is still money. Don't refrain from spending just because it's a small amount, and don't try to make a fortune just because it's a large amount! Spending money is just spending money, purely spending money, understand?"

"Oh……"

"Alright, go ahead, I need to go back to my tutoring. Give me a plan as soon as possible, let's spend the money together."

Completely bewildered, Luo Tong left the office and took the shuttle bus back to the factory.

He had been running all the way but still couldn't figure out how Chen Yu wanted to spend the money.

When I went back and told everyone about it, they were all confused.

Master Gong lit a cigarette with the red-hot iron tongs, went through the recent events in his mind, and then shook his head and said, "No, I have no clue. There really aren't many places to spend money lately."

"Can we buy a few more CNC magic machine tools?"

"That thing is in short supply. Many factories are using manual labor instead of machines, so the output of machine tools is not high and they are hard to buy."

"Buy more raw materials?"

"We've bought up everything that can be imported, where are we going to buy it from?"

"Hmm... But since Mr. Chen has said so, then Mr. Chen must have seen something special."

Luo Tong nodded: "Indeed, and President Chen has repeatedly emphasized to me that we need to spend money, there must be a deeper meaning behind that. That's why I asked everyone to come here, we need to find out President Chen's true thoughts."
