My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

"enough."

Once the conversation turned to business, Bi Yan forgot all his complaints and got up to sit down opposite Lin Mo. "The development of the portable air conditioner is going very smoothly. At the current pace, we should be able to get samples before the end of the year and start mass production before next summer."

Upon hearing this progress, Lin Mo frowned deeply. "So slow?"

"You call this slow?"

Bi Yan was dumbfounded. "Boss, could you please do some basic research before you speak?"

"This research and development speed is already very fast. If I didn't have to go to the research lab every day, we would have to wait until this time next year to start mass production, and until the summer after next to make a profit."

"It is indeed slow."

Lin Mo still insisted that it would be slow, "Brother Bi, in my opinion, a portable air conditioner is just a small thing. Although there are indeed many technical difficulties involved, it shouldn't be delayed until next summer, right?"

Bi Yan smirked. "A little thing? A portable air conditioner is indeed a little thing, but it's a technological product!"

"Compared to a normal air conditioner, its volume is reduced by two hundred times, but its output can only be reduced by a maximum of fifty times."

"If that were all, it would be fine. The key issue is the reduction in size, coupled with the portable design, which means that expensive compressed batteries can only be used."

Do you know how much a compressed battery costs?

Lin Mo looked puzzled. "Compressed batteries? I remember those things are very expensive, a small one costs several thousand yuan."

"Yes, it's that expensive."

Bi Yan nodded in agreement, "So we must control this cost. Otherwise, even if the development of portable air conditioners goes smoothly, if the price is too high, we will face sales problems."

"If we want to reduce costs, there is only one option: to work on compressed batteries. We can't buy them; we have to manufacture them ourselves. However, the few compressed batteries currently available in China are all patented by others. We only need to pay patent fees to them. Self-production and self-sales can significantly reduce the cost of air conditioners."

"Even so, the production line for compressed batteries is still very difficult for us. All the factories in China that produce compressed batteries keep it a secret from the outside world."

“Our research team has no talent in this area at all. We can only proceed by trial and error, and we have to be extremely careful with every step. If we make a mistake, it means losing a lot of research funding.”

Lin Mo did not interrupt Bi Yan's long speech. After patiently listening to everything, he was about to speak when Bi Yan's voice rang out again.

"Boss, I know you want Cuttlefish Technology to make a profit quickly, but as someone who's been there, let me tell you, in business, especially if you want to do business for the long term, you have to be steady and pragmatic at the beginning. You can't get fat in one bite."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo smiled.

This smile left Bi Yan somewhat bewildered. "Boss, do you disagree with what I just said?"

"No, I agree."

Lin Mo's calm tone remained unwavering. "Brother Bi's analysis just now was indeed reasonable and well-founded, and it also aligns with the current situation."

Hearing Lin Mo say that, Bi Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next second, his expression changed.

Lin Mo changed the subject, "However, it doesn't meet my expectations, so I want to accelerate the development of Cuttlefish Technology."

"accelerate?"

Bi Yan's lips twitched, his words carrying a hint of reminder, "Boss, every acceleration requires energy. You should know very well what kind of energy a technology company needs."

The answer is just one word: money.

Lin Mo was naturally aware of this, so after hearing Bi Yan's words, he half-jokingly said, "Brother Bi, you don't need to beat around the bush. It's just money."

In fact, he knew why Bi Yan spoke so indirectly. In front of An Youyu, if money was involved, it would seem like he was being put on a pedestal.

accelerate?

Sure, as long as you pay.

Don't just talk...

Seeing that Lin Mo was being direct, Bi Yan simply nodded in agreement, "Yes, acceleration requires money, a lot of money; does the boss have any spare funds on hand right now?"

"Not much."

Bi Yan shrugged and stopped asking questions.

Lin Mo chuckled, "Brother Bi, I don't have much money on hand, but I can still come up with a few small goals."

"A few small goals?"

Upon hearing this, Bi Yan's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He jumped up from the sofa, staring at Lin Mo with a look of surprise and uncertainty. "Boss, are you kidding me?"

"Just kidding?"

Lin Mo curled his lip. "Brother Bi, what's so funny about a grown man like you? Even if I were to tease someone, it would be Xiaoyuer."

An Youyu blushed, glared at Lin Mo fiercely, and complained in a low voice, "If you're going to talk about serious matters, then talk properly. Don't keep making fun of me."

Lin Mo spread his hands. "I'm not joking. I'm just stating a fact."

"you……"

Seeing the two flirting again, Bi Yan hurriedly interrupted, "Let's get down to business first, boss. Were you serious when you said you could come up with a few small goals?"

"of course."

Lin Mo nodded casually and admitted, "I currently have more than 300 million in cash, let's just say 300 million. In addition to this 300 million, all my future income will be used to support Moyu Technology."

"Brother Bi should know that Xiaoyuer and I became wildly popular on Jiaoke because of Xia Bei's promotional video. With my current number of fans, I can easily earn one or two hundred million a year. Is that enough to accelerate Moyu Technology's growth?"

Chapter 703 Acceleration Plan (Part Two)

"enough!"

After hearing Lin Mo's confession, Bi Yan couldn't hide his excitement, "Boss, if I had known you had so much money, I should have asked for an exorbitant amount when you and your wife came to the company last time!"

All the difficulties stemmed from a lack of funds.

With money, so-called difficulties cease to be difficulties.

Just then, An Youyu's dissatisfied voice rang out, "Brother Bi, didn't we agree not to call me boss lady?"

"cough--"

Bi Yan smiled awkwardly and scratched his head sheepishly, "Sorry, I've gotten used to calling you that, and I really can't change it right away."

An Youyu felt rather helpless and secretly tugged at Lin Mo's clothes.

Sensing the girl's subtle movements, Lin Mo revealed an innocent smile, "Little Fish, Brother Bi said that she can't change in a short time, so there's nothing I can do."

He kept saying there was nothing he could do, but he kept giving Bi Yan meaningful glances and even secretly gave him a thumbs up.

Bi Yan's eyes were full of smiles, but he remained calm on the surface and nodded in agreement.

This left An Youyu with no other options, so she compromised and said, "If all else fails, Brother Bi, you don't need to address me as such. If you have any questions for me, just call me 'you' directly."

"That won't do."

Bi Yan quickly shook his head, "You're my boss's wife, after all. It's so rude of you not even to address me properly. If your sister Liu Xi finds out, she'll definitely scold me."

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

No sooner had Bi Yan finished speaking than the office door was pushed open, and Liu Xi strode in.

When she saw Lin Mo and An Youyu sitting opposite her husband, she came over to the sofa with a surprised look on her face. "Husband... no! President Bi, why did you suddenly call me to the company?"

Bi Yan pulled his wife down to sit, and said with a helpless wry smile, "You have no idea how I spent the past half hour. The boss and his wife kept showing affection in front of me. If I hadn't called you over, I would have been overwhelmed by their PDA."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xi covered her mouth and laughed uncontrollably, "Is it really that exaggerated?"

As she spoke, her gaze swept back and forth between Lin Mo and An Youyu. "I'm saying, you two should at least try to be discreet about other people when you're showing affection, shouldn't you?"

An Youyu blushed and waved her hands frantically, "Sister Liu, that's not how it is, Lin Mo and I...we weren't showing affection..."

The more he spoke, the softer his voice became, and the less confident he seemed.

Lin Mo didn't react at all. He coughed lightly and brought the topic back on track, "Brother Bi, now is not the time for jokes. Let's talk about serious matters first."

Bi Yan stopped smiling and nodded, saying, "Boss, as long as you pay, I can speed up the development of Cuttlefish Technology as much as you want."

Finally, still feeling unsatisfied, he added, "As long as the boss provides sufficient funding, I am confident that within three years, I can develop Cuttlefish Technology into the number one technology company in China."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xi, unaware of the situation, hurriedly tugged at her husband's arm and whispered, "You dare to say such an outrageous goal? Are you crazy?"

Bi Yan calmly explained, "Xiao Xi, I'm not crazy. I'm perfectly sober right now. You probably don't know what the boss just told me."

Liu Xi looked curious. "What did you say?"

Bi Yan repeated Lin Mo's words verbatim. After he finished speaking, he spread his hands and said, "Xiao Xi, you are also aware of the company's current situation. All the difficulties are due to insufficient funds."

"Once the problem of insufficient funds is solved, the remaining problems will no longer be problems."

Liu Xi stared at Lin Mo in disbelief, utterly astonished.

Meeting Liu Xi's gaze, Lin Mo smiled nonchalantly, "Sister Liu, although I am handsome, you don't need to stare at me like that, do you? You have a husband, and I have a girlfriend. This is not appropriate."

Lin Mo's teasing made Liu Xi blush slightly, and she spat lightly, "You're so young, yet you're so smooth-talking. Tell me the truth, was it your glib tongue that tricked Sister Yu'er into joining you?"

"of course not."

Lin Mo shook his head, flicked his bangs that were almost covering his eyes, and said with an extremely smug tone, "Xiaoyuer likes me only because I'm handsome."

"Pooh--"

This time, it was An Youyu who spat at Lin Mo, her little hands unconsciously climbing onto his waist, "Talking nonsense again?"

Lin Mo's expression remained unchanged. "Am I wrong?"

"wrong!"

An Youyu's tone was extremely firm, "I like you because of when we were little..."

She stopped abruptly when she realized that Bi Yan and Liu Xi were still there.

Bi Yan and Liu Xi, who were just watching the drama unfold, were naturally not satisfied. Bi Yan nudged Liu Xi's shoulder and urged in a low voice, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and ask! You'll never hear about the boss and his wife's love story again if you miss it."

Liu Xi felt both helpless and amused, and asked in a low voice, "If you're so eager to know, why don't you ask?"

Bi Yan secretly rolled his eyes. "What are you saying? If I, a grown man, am too gossipy, I'll really lose face. Besides, even if I were to ask, the landlady might not tell me."

"You're different, you're a woman, the boss lady shouldn't react too much. Hurry up, stop dawdling."

Liu Xi didn't refuse again. In fact, she also wanted to hear about the love story of the golden couple in front of her. Her smile became very gentle. "Little Fish, you can't just tell half the story. I really want to hear how you fell in love with Lin Mo. Can you tell me?"

"This one……"

An Youyu's blush hadn't faded since she entered the office.
