"What?
How could there be so much?
As soon as Old Ma finished speaking, everyone gasped in surprise.
Secretary Yang's face showed surprise, while Xu Guangping and the others looked incredulous.
The most exaggerated was Fang Zhongtian, who looked as if he had eaten a dead child. His donkey-like face was pulled long, and the tuft of dark hair on his cheek made him look particularly comical.
"Impossible! You're all colluding to cheat us!"
Fang Zhongtian's disbelieving roar caused Secretary Yang beside him to frown slightly. This person was so rude!
But he was very courteous and didn't react. Instead, he looked at them curiously, seemingly waiting for Wang Yu and the others to provide an answer.
"How can there be so much?" Wang Yu also asked, a little stunned.
This number had indeed exceeded his expectations.
According to his estimation, hundreds of thousands would be the maximum. He never expected there to be so much.
"I haven't miscalculated, little factory director." Hearing his professionalism questioned, Old Ma immediately became unhappy. He explained directly,
"Our previous orders for 47 units have all been delivered and paid for. Later, some customers introduced old customers for a second purchase, adding another 14 orders. After deducting all the costs, we made nearly 200,000 from this alone."
"Oh, that's not bad," Wang Yu nodded.
Earning over 200,000 from selling over 60 vehicles after deducting costs was already good. After all, these new agricultural vehicles were intended to be affordable, so that more farmers could afford them.
If Zhao Tao's agricultural machinery factory were to operate this, the profit would probably double or even triple.
The initial design of these vehicles was to compress costs, focusing on cost-effectiveness and high sales volume.
"Then there's the business of improving the brakes. Driver Liu Dahai has introduced quite a few drivers, one after another, and we receive quite a few orders for brake modifications from time to time. The profit from this aspect has accumulated to nearly 50,000.
Some drivers also bought some vehicles. We've also cleared out our previously unsalable inventory vehicles at low prices as you instructed, with a profit of about 50,000 after deducting costs.
And then there's today's order fair. Miss Wu Lingling has received various deposits totaling over 500,000, which she directly transferred to our account as payment for the vehicles.
After all, we still owe her the hundred-unit order that hasn't been delivered yet."
Old Ma listed them one by one, clearly and concisely.
"Who is this Wu Lingling?" Secretary Yang asked curiously.
"She is our largest client and agent. She previously placed an order for a hundred units, and I just returned from her investment promotion meeting today."
Wang Yu explained briefly, causing Secretary Yang to nod slightly.
He didn't understand agency and investment promotion, but he knew it was a major client.
But compared to what Xu Guangping had said earlier, about the girl who was supposedly not clean with Wang Yu, a partner who was all show and no substance?
Looking at it now, she was far from all show and no substance. She was incredibly substantial!
"Wait a minute! That's only 800,000! Where did the 1 million in funds come from?"
Fang Zhongtian suddenly shouted, as if he had discovered a new continent. Pointing at Wang Yu, he roared, spewing saliva, "Good, Wang Yu, you still claim you didn't falsify anything? You only have 800,000 in funds but lied that it was 1 million? Haha, doesn't add up, does it? Such malicious behavior is simply..."
"Whose little brat are you? So disrespectful?"
Old Ma didn't know Fang Zhongtian. Seeing his exaggerated and distorted appearance, he knew he was on the opposing side and immediately looked displeased.
He was over 60 and on the verge of retirement, so he could naturally address Fang Zhongtian, who was in his forties, as a 'brat' condescendingly.
"I haven't finished speaking, and you're already interrupting so impatiently!"
Old Ma reprimanded, then turned to Wang Yu to explain happily.
"There's still 200,000 in funds... this is what I was preparing to report to you, little factory director."
"Oh? Where did that come from?" Wang Yu was also very curious.
"Do you remember the generator you donated to Xiaorong Village before?"
Old Ma asked Wang Yu.
"Xiaorong Village?" Wang Yu remembered. That was the first user who had ordered a car from him, Zhang Jianshe, the official of Xiaorong Village, a simple and honest middle-aged man.
At that time, everyone else had returned their cars, but he hadn't.
Wang Yu had originally planned to visit him personally to donate a generator.
Later, one thing led to another, and he was too busy to get away.
Wang Yu directly asked Feng Daochun to arrange it, and had two generators sent to them.
One wind-powered and one water-powered generator.
"That's right, it's them!"
Old Ma's wrinkled old face showed excitement.
"The generators we sent them before worked very well, and the village got electricity. Da Rong Village next door discovered this and pooled money to buy two generators. Then..."
"Then what?" Wang Yu also became interested.
"Then, because Da Xiao Rong Villages are well-known impoverished villages in the province, when leaders from higher up went to inspect, they discovered that their small generators worked very well. They directly approved a large batch order, saying they wanted to support poverty alleviation efforts.
This 200,000 comes from those generator orders. Old Li said that the production line has been incredibly busy these past few days, looking everywhere for solutions, and even the procurement department is running out of stock!"
Old Ma's words shocked everyone thoroughly.
"Generators? Poverty alleviation?"
Secretary Yang keenly grasped the key points and adjusted his glasses slightly.
"Haha, it's getting more and more outrageous? You're even dragging poverty alleviation into this? Why don't you say you're saviors?"
Fang Zhongtian looked amused, and Xu Guangping beside him also looked impatient.
"Secretary Yang, I wanted to give you face by acquiring this factory, but as you can see, they're all full of nonsense and don't take us seriously."
Xu Guangping said to Yang Xiaoqing, his tone full of mockery and sarcasm, "And 1 million in funds? If you can come up with ten thousand now, I'll leave immediately."
"Heh, what if I can?" Wang Yu interrupted him. He hadn't expected Feng Daochun to be so capable and secure such a large order without making a sound.
However, since Old Ma said there was 1 million on the books, there must be! In comparison, the supposed 600,000 acquisition was utter nonsense!
"I don't need you to leave. I'm not interested in it. Just find someone to slap you twice."
Wang Yu made a rare cold joke and then directly pointed at Fang Zhongtian.
"Let alone two, twenty would be fine!" Xu Guangping waved his hand impatiently, "Don't talk big when you're incapable. Do you know how much one million is? It'll scare you to death!"
"That's fine too, then twenty."
Wang Yu smiled and looked to the side, "Secretary Yang is here as a witness. Uncle Ma, please arrange for someone to bring all the cash we have on hand."
"Alright!"
