Chapter 94: Determined to Win This Round’s 8 Million

“Mr. Chen, there are more expensive machines, but based on the current scale of our workshop, the current configuration is sufficient. There’s no need to buy pricier ones,” Jiang Cheng explained.

Chen Mo relaxed the moment he heard there were more expensive machines.

“Then just go with the highest configuration and replace all the machines in the workshop. Estimate how much that would cost.”

“But Mr. Chen, some of those machines have functions our current workshop doesn’t even need.”

“No matter. Our clothing workshop won’t stay this small forever—it will expand sooner or later. Those unused functions will be useful eventually.”

Chen Mo waved his hand. He didn’t really care about the machines’ functions—what he cared about was the price.

Seeing that Mr. Chen had made up his mind, Jiang Cheng pondered for a moment before replying, “If we go with the highest-end machines, it’ll cost around 1.4 million.”

“No way to go higher than that?”

“There are pricier machines, Mr. Chen, but they take up a lot of space. With the current size of our workshop, there’s simply no room for them.”

“Then go with the 1.4 million setup. Get Li Shen and head out to purchase them.”

Hearing this, Chen Mo could only nod helplessly.

It seemed that was the limit.

But what Jiang Cheng said reminded him of something—the size of the workshop.

If he rented a bigger space, he could bring in another batch of machines and hire more employees. That would mean more expenses.

However, expanding the workshop meant he’d have to expand the business department too, as per the system’s rules.

And right now, just managing the three sales staff he had was already giving him a headache. Adding more? Who knew what kind of chaos that would bring.

Chen Mo hesitated—should he expand the factory?

Forget it.

There’s still over 1.7 million in system funds left, and with a month remaining, spending it all shouldn’t be an issue.

He could treat factory expansion as a backup plan—if something unexpected came up, he could use it as a fallback for spending.

With that thought in mind, Chen Mo smiled confidently. Having a backup plan for spending made all the difference.

After several failed settlement attempts, he now understood one thing: to settle successfully, he had to stay constantly alert.

He’d already taken countermeasures for the previous failures.

For example, he’d informed the business department to stagger their payments on the settlement day. Also, all company fund transfers now required his approval, which meant no more situations like Wei Yan privately depositing proceeds from clearing out backlogged inventory.

He had covered all the bases.

He couldn’t think of a single reason why the next settlement would fail.

This time, he was determined to get that 8 million.

Chenglin Interiors – Meeting Room

Supervisor Qi Bu stood on the stage, a smile on his face that couldn’t be hidden.

“Today, I have two announcements.”

“First, the quarterly performance rankings are out. Among all the Jiang City branches, our branch’s Wang Yang has won the quarterly sales champion title.”

“Let’s all give Wang Yang a round of applause!”

The meeting room erupted in applause.

Wang Yang nervously walked up to the stage.

To be honest, he still didn’t quite understand how he suddenly became the sales champion—it had come too easily.

“Xiao Wang, keep up the good work,” Supervisor Qi said with a smile as he handed over the honorary certificate he’d prepared.

Wang Yang took the certificate and saw “Quarterly Champion” written on it.

“Thank you, Supervisor Qi.”

“No need to thank me. You earned it. And along with the certificate, you’ll also receive a cash bonus of 5,000 yuan.”

As he spoke, Qi Bu handed over a thick red envelope.

Wang Yang couldn’t help but smile at the heavy envelope of cash.

After a few group photos, Wang Yang returned to his seat.

Once he sat down, Supervisor Qi continued, “The second announcement is that yesterday, Chen Jun closed a villa renovation deal worth 1.2 million yuan. As long as he secures a few more small contracts this quarter, becoming the quarterly sales champion is almost guaranteed.”

“So everyone, work hard and learn from Chen Jun and Wang Yang.”

Meeting over, Wang Yang walked over to Chen Jun and congratulated him.

“Congrats, Brother Jun.”

“You should work hard too—see if you can land a few more deals this month. But this quarter’s champion is mine,” Chen Jun said with a chuckle, patting Wang Yang’s shoulder like a big brother.

He had worked on that villa deal for over a month, revising the design several times before finally sealing the deal yesterday.

1.2 million.

If he could add a few smaller deals and push his total up to 1.5 million, the sales crown would be firmly his.

“Oh right, how’s the renovation going for that employee dorm project of yours? It’s been a while. Still not finished?”

“Just wrapping up. Should be done in the next few days.”

Wang Yang took a seat beside him, but he was a little anxious. Both of his previous renovation projects were close to completion, but he hadn’t landed any new orders.

As he thought, those two deals had been mostly due to luck—he really needed to sharpen his skills.

You couldn’t rely on luck forever.

Clothing Factory – Office

Shen Rou entered and walked over to Chen Mo’s desk.

“Mr. Chen, the dorm renovation is nearly complete. We’d like you to come do the final inspection.”

“Oh? Already finishing up? Let’s go take a look.”

Chen Mo was intrigued. He had visited a few times before, mainly to check the materials being used.

At the dorm entrance, the head of the renovation crew was already waiting.

Seeing Chen Mo, he hurried forward.

“Mr. Chen, the miscellaneous items have been mostly cleared out. It’s ready for inspection.”

“Alright.”

Chen Mo nodded and walked in.

He randomly picked a room and inspected it carefully. The crew had done a good job—every corner was spotless, and everything matched the original renovation plan.

Beds, wardrobes, TVs, air conditioners, water heaters, and washing machines were all in place.

He checked a few more rooms and found no issues.

Satisfied, he told the renovation crew to begin wrapping up.

Back in his office, Chen Mo sat in his chair and thought for a moment.

Then he suddenly realized—there were still ways to spend more money on the employee dorm.

Without hesitation, he picked up his phone and called Li Shen.
