The night passed silently.
The next morning, at the crack of dawn, Qin Chuan and his group set off for home.
This time it was a true homecoming, all the way to Yongnan County.
Around eleven in the morning, a Tiger Head Ben roared through the gates of Xinhua Electronics Factory.
Here, they were greeted by many colleagues they hadn't seen in days. Xu Ronghua and Li Chunsheng led a welcoming party.
Half an hour later, all the top brass of Xinhua Electronics Factory had gathered in the conference room for an important meeting and deployment.
When everyone learned that in about twenty days, they would see their own product advertisements on CCTV, each one was exceptionally excited, as if they had been injected with adrenaline.
For this day, everyone had been preparing for too long, just waiting for its arrival.
"Vice Factory Director Xu, how many products does our factory have in stock right now?"
Qin Chuan asked a crucial question.
"Reporting to the boss, our factory currently has a total stock of fifteen thousand eight hundred units!"
Xu Ronghua replied immediately.
Qin Chuan frowned slightly. "Only this much?"
Xu Ronghua forced a smile. "Boss, this stock volume is actually quite substantial! To achieve this output, our machinery has been running twenty-four hours a day, and our workers are on three shifts!"
"Furthermore, our factory's capital chain doesn't allow us to produce any more."
Ye Meiyun looked towards the head of the finance department. "Meng Qing, how much money is currently in our factory's account?"
Meng Qing stood up and replied, "Factory Director, the funds currently in our factory's account are less than five hundred thousand."
"In addition, there are still one million two hundred thousand yuan in payments outstanding from several business partners."
"These partners have repeatedly urged us to settle the payments quickly in the past few days, otherwise they will no longer supply us with products!"
Hearing that they owed business partners as much as one million two hundred thousand yuan, Qin Chuan was startled. "Is it already this much?"
"Boss, you can calculate it yourself. The stock we have and its actual cost. The average cost price for each storage cabinet is around three hundred yuan."
"Now we have a stock of fifteen thousand eight hundred units, how much money does that represent?"
Meng Qing said.
Qin Chuan quickly did some mental calculations and arrived at a staggering figure. The total value of these products was as high as four million seven hundred and forty thousand yuan.
At this cost, owing one million two hundred thousand yuan was perfectly normal.
After all, what enterprise doesn't have some outstanding debts and bank loans?
"So, in the coming period, we can't continue mass production much further, can we!"
Qin Chuan said.
This was definitely not good news. According to the original plan, with twenty days left, they would have the workers work overtime to build up more inventory to prevent a shortage.
Unexpectedly, they themselves would run out of money for production, which was quite an awkward situation.
"Boss, with our current material reserves, I've calculated that we can only produce about two thousand more units!"
Xu Ronghua said.
"I still have about six hundred thousand yuan in funds. I'll transfer it all to the company account later. Since that's all the money we have, we'll produce as much as we can!"
Qin Chuan said decisively.
This six hundred thousand yuan was saved from his trip to the capital. The CCTV advertising, which was originally supposed to cost two million four hundred thousand yuan, ended up costing only one million eight hundred thousand yuan.
The planned expenditure of two million yuan ended up saving twenty thousand yuan.
For the "My Fair Princess" crew, the planned advertising fee was one million yuan, but the three actresses together only cost fifty thousand yuan!
A saving of half the amount, this was an unexpected bonus!
After deducting some expenses from the trip to the capital, six hundred thousand yuan could definitely be spared.
"If we get an additional six hundred thousand yuan in funding, then the goal of twenty thousand units should be achievable!"
Xu Ronghua said excitedly.
The worried expressions on the faces of others also turned into surprise.
After the meeting, Qin Chuan led the group on a tour of the production workshop. Upon seeing Qin Chuan return, the workers all showed excited expressions.
Qin Chuan, as the boss, was undoubtedly the cornerstone of the entire Xinhua Electronics Factory. Whatever he did, his presence in the factory gave everyone an extraordinary sense of security.
Everything they did felt much more solid.
Finally, Qin Chuan arrived at the warehouse.
Here, he saw mountains of electronic storage cabinets, stacked neatly in rows, densely packed and imposing.
Of course, a single warehouse was not enough to hold so many storage cabinets, as they took up a lot of space.
For this reason, Xinhua Electronics Factory had cleared out two idle production workshops solely for storing products.
Xinhua Electronics Factory didn't have many advantages, but it was spacious.
Just as Qin Chuan was feeling gratified by all this hard work, his phone rang. He pulled it out to see it was his second brother.
"Xiao Chuan, where are you?"
As soon as the call connected, Qin's second brother's voice came through.
"I'm at the factory!"
Qin Chuan answered instinctively.
"Nonsense, I know you're at the factory. I'm asking where in the factory you are. We went to your office and couldn't find you."
Qin's second brother said.
"You guys are here? Wait for me a few minutes, I'll be right there!"
After hanging up the phone, Qin Chuan told Ye Meiyun and quickly walked towards the office building.
As he went upstairs, he saw a group of familiar faces standing in the hallway.
Not only Qin's second brother was here, but also his eldest brother, Qin Yang.
And Zheng Chengdao, Bai Xiaoguang, Yao Dong, and Chen Jinyu.
Seeing Chen Jinyu, Qin Chuan immediately remembered a very important matter: the store construction for the Shendun storage cabinets.
This was a very important matter and also a very profitable path.
When the time came, for every franchise store they opened, Chen Jinyu's team would have a renovation project.
The profit from this would be enormous, and all of it would belong to Yaohui Decoration Company, a truly lucrative business.
"Why are you all standing outside? Come into the office and sit down!"
Qin Chuan spoke first.
As soon as his words fell, he was met with a barrage of complaints.
"Boss, we'd love to come in for a cup of tea, but your people are not willing to let us in..."
"Exactly, the rules here are much stricter than ours!"
"We wouldn't dare to be presumptuous!"
Qin Chuan turned to look at Miao Nan, who was standing not far away with a serious and diligent expression. She was the deputy supervisor of the administrative department and was usually responsible for all inspections in the factory.
Unauthorized personnel were strictly forbidden from entering the factory's restricted areas. Qin Chuan's chairman's office was naturally a top priority in the factory, and no one could enter without Qin Chuan's permission.
"Deputy Supervisor Miao, it's alright now, you can go back to your work!"
Qin Chuan waved his hand, and Miao Nan turned and left.
"This woman is quite responsible, very good!"
Watching Miao Nan's receding back, Zheng Chengdao praised.
The others nodded in agreement. They were joking, but as elites under Qin Chuan's command, they understood the importance of a mid-level cadre.
Qin Chuan pushed open the office door and invited everyone in.
After not seeing each other for a long time, the group had endless topics to discuss.
Currently, Qin Chuan's real estate and sand quarry businesses were temporarily suspended due to the weather, so many people were idle.
Only Chen Jinyu's decoration team, Xinhua Electronics Factory, and the supermarket were busy. Jin Die Apparel could also be considered.
However, in Qin Chuan's subconscious, Jin Die Apparel belonged to Li Ya, and he didn't have much to do with it.
He himself only held a ten percent stake and hadn't been involved in the affairs of the apparel factory for a long time.
