Xu Yun nodded as well, and took out a detailed financial expenditure report, handing it to everyone:
"Aaron is right, the funds in our account are limited, introducing one production line is fine, but more would be like Messi."
According to the initial terms of the contract.
The New Creation Fund would inject 8 million after the company's establishment, with Tian Liangwei and Academician Pan each representing the School of Life Sciences and Physics College injecting 2 million.
Xu Yun invested 1 million through the entrepreneurship support transfer agreement, totaling 13 million.
The 13 million in cash arrived in the company's account the day after the contract was signed, which was quite efficient, and it was a full payment.
Later, the contract for the factory spent a bit over 1.13 million, and three production lines cost 5.1 million.
Recently, the production materials for the products cost another over 3 million.
Moreover.
All the advertising costs on online platforms during the product launch period were also close to a million, plus some other expenditures, the company currently has about 2 million in funds left on the books.
On the other hand.
According to the platform's model, the first batch of payments from Taobao and JD will be settled in the earliest seven days—unless you sell virtual goods, which can shorten it to three days.
Considering the current sales situation, we can't wait until seven days later to start expanding production capacity, right?
In this way.
An unsolvable Möbius strip appeared before Xu Yun and others.
Just as Tian Liangwei and the others were showing masculine expressions.
Zheng Zu, who had been silent, cleared his throat and suddenly spoke up:
"Dr. Xu, regarding the funding problem... I might have a solution."
Xu Yun looked at him with surprise, Zheng Zu's statement was indeed beyond his expectations:
"What, Secretary Zheng, you have a way?"
Zheng Zu nodded slightly and explained:
"You all might not be aware, but the New Creation Fund has actually always had a flexible fund, specifically prepared for situations like this, with a total of about 20 million."
"However, the procedures for disbursing this fund are quite cumbersome, such as verifying whether you are planning to cash out before bankruptcy, so preliminary audits and guarantees are required."
"And this fund is not interest-free, its daily interest rate is about two ten-thousandths, meaning if you borrow a million, you have to pay a 200 fee every day."
"The total price of five FOERDA-T632 production lines is about 8.5 million, and calculated with a return ten days later, the interest expenditure would probably be... around 17,000."
When Xu Yun and the others heard this, their eyes immediately lit up.
Originally, Xu Yun and Gu Qunqing planned to have Tian Liangwei negotiate with the materials supplier to see if they could run up a tab.
Try to spare the funds originally meant for cost payment and buy three production lines to start with.
After all, with Tian Liangwei's connections, he has always had a pretty good personal relationship with these material suppliers, so asking for an extended ten-day credit period should be easy enough.
Moreover, he is also a company shareholder, so he knows whether the company is truly short on funds or planning to cut and run, therefore he would most likely agree to Xu Yun's proposal.
It was unexpected that before they even discussed this with Tian Liangwei, Zheng Zu spontaneously offered a big surprise?
To be honest.
An interest rate of two ten-thousandths is neither high nor low, just a standard rate.
But the key is that it can serve as emergency funding, and it can also purchase five production lines—even with Tian Liangwei stepping in to extend credit, the amount freed up would only be enough to buy three production lines.
Given the current sales of Langmie's products, ten days of interest at 17,000 isn't really high...
Thinking of this.
Xu Yun immediately made a decision in his heart.
He first exchanged glances with Gu Qunqing and Tian Liangwei to confirm each other's thoughts, then said to Zheng Zu:
"In that case, please trouble Secretary Zheng."
Zheng Zu waved his hand with a smile, keeping a low profile:
"Oh, just a small matter, New Creation is also a company shareholder and should do its part."
"Moreover, if it weren't for our product's current sales, I wouldn't be able to shift this money even if I wanted to, you have to strike while the iron is hot."
"How about this, I'll contact finance now, it's 9:30... uh, by 5 PM, I guarantee the money will be in the account!"
With Zheng Zu's guarantee, the remaining problem was simple.
Then Xu Yun and everyone else had a brief discussion about the company's direction, then decided to dismiss the meeting.
Not long after leaving the office.
Xu Yun's phone suddenly rang.
Pulling it out, he saw that it was none other than Qiu Sheng calling.
Upon seeing this, Xu Yun quickly moved to a quieter corner and pressed the call button:
"Hello, Old Qiu?"
As soon as the words fell.
Qiu Sheng's booming voice emerged, as if the air was transmitting through the signal:
"Old Xu, great news, we've discovered the conditions for amplifying a new type of microorganism!"
Xu Yun was momentarily stunned, and then delighted.
In biology, there are many amplification conditions and techniques, but clearly Qiu Sheng was referring to the culture medium's substrate.
Thinking of this.
Xu Yun quickly glanced around, and after confirming no one was nearby, he turned down the phone volume by two notches:
"Oh? What conditions?"
"A medium ground from donkey hair and bean dregs—no, to be precise, a medium ground from local donkey hair!"
Xu Yun:
"?????"
Meanwhile.
Two kilometers away.
In the kitchen of the East Garden Canteen.
After finishing his work, Brother Lv was lying in the pen, preparing to discuss issues of quantum tunneling barriers and transition energy levels with the two mates assigned by the canteen...
But just as he was about to stack barriers, Brother Lv was suddenly startled.
For some reason.
He suddenly thought of a certain daytime a long time ago.
A wicked young man called his fierce servants to pull him off another Donkey Sister, collected his non-Newtonian fluid, and then placed it on a plate for observation...
At this thought.
Brother Lv couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Born with a life of toil...
....
Note:
I forgot to mention yesterday, the next dungeon is abroad, other than that I refuse to disclose any details, otherwise why would I offer a reward for five chapters... you can continue guessing.
Mentioned a long time ago.
Due to the cyclization process during production, the current limitation to a production line's capacity is neither manpower nor filling capacity.
But the yield rate of the homogenization system, or more plainly the 10-liter capacity.
Therefore, to expand capacity at the moment, aside from continuing to recruit workers, the most crucial thing is to purchase production lines.
Gu Qunqing clearly understood this as well, and with a serious expression, he said:
"Dr. Xu and I also believe in expanding production lines, but the problem is... a single FOERDA-T632 production line costs 1.7 million Huaxia Coins."
"Under full operation, a single line's daily yield is only seven to eight thousand, so to ensure normal production, we need to introduce at least four more production lines."
"But currently, after deducting expenses for the factory, previous production lines, and production materials, the money left in our account is not enough..."
Xu Yun nodded as well, and took out a detailed financial expenditure report, handing it to everyone:
"Aaron is right, the funds in our account are limited, introducing one production line is fine, but more would be like Messi."
According to the initial terms of the contract.
The New Creation Fund would inject 8 million after the company's establishment, with Tian Liangwei and Academician Pan each representing the School of Life Sciences and Physics College injecting 2 million.
Xu Yun invested 1 million through the entrepreneurship support transfer agreement, totaling 13 million in total.
The 13 million in cash arrived in the company's account the day after the contract was signed, efficiency was still high, and it was a full payment.
Later, the contract for the factory cost over 1.13 million, and three production lines went for 5.1 million.
Recently, the production materials for the products again cost over 3 million.
In addition.
The advertising costs on all online platforms during the product's promotion period were also close to a million, plus some other expenses, leaving the company's book with only about two million in funds.
On the other hand.
According to the platform modules, the first batch of payments from Taobao and JD take at least seven days to settle—unless you're a virtual product, then it can be shortened to three days.
Considering the current sales situation, we can't wait until seven days later to start expanding production capacity, can we?
As a result.
A Mobius strip puzzle appeared before Xu Yun and the others.
And just as Tian Liangwei and the others were showing distressed expressions.
Zheng Zu, who had remained mostly silent, cleared his throat and suddenly said:
"Dr. Xu, regarding the funding problem... I might have a solution."
Xu Yun looked at him in surprise, as Zheng Zu's statement indeed took him by surprise:
"What, Secretary Zheng, you have a way?"
Zheng Zu nodded slightly and explained:
"You all may not be very aware, but New Creation Fund actually has a flexible fund specifically prepared for similar situations, totaling about 20 million."
