78: Bringing his wife and children to Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 174 Inventory Everywhere

Chen An nodded blankly and went to get the account book.

Accountant Sun was still sitting there.

Ye Bingwen walked over and bowed deeply to Accountant Sun.

"Accountant Sun, I'm so sorry."

Accountant Sun quickly stood up.

"Director Ye, what are you doing?"

"I didn't listen to all the points you mentioned back then, and now this has happened."

"Director Ye, what's done is done. There's no use talking about it now. We need to find a way to minimize the losses."

Ye Bingwen sat down again and lit a cigarette.

The smoke gradually dissipated in front of him.

He has never regretted anything so much in his life.

He understood every word Chen An and Accountant Sun said, but he still went his own way.

He thought he had a good eye, that Lin Guoqing wasn't a fraud, and that he could succeed in this civilian market.

o

As a result, he fell into the ditch.

Chen An has calculated the accounts.

They made a prepayment of 102,000 yuan, and then advanced 76,000 yuan of their own money to buy the materials. The materials cost a total of 178,000 yuan.

The cost of producing the first batch of 1,000 pieces, including materials, labor, and electricity, was approximately 30,000 yuan.

The second batch of 1,500 pieces has been made but not yet shipped; the cost is over 40,000 yuan.

The total is approximately 80,000.

In other words, Lin Guoqing's departure cost the Hongqi Factory a total of 258,000 yuan.

All that was recovered was the advance payment of 120,000.

The net loss was 156,000.

For the Hongqi Factory, which had just recovered, this 156,000 yuan was not just a matter of money.

That loan of 100,000 yuan, plus the 84,000 yuan for military supplies, and various advances made beforehand, were originally intended to expand production...

For purchasing testing equipment and stockpiling raw materials.

Now look what's happened, everything has been poured into Lin Guoqing's bottomless pit.

What's even more crucial is that the remaining material could make approximately 2,500 fishing rods.

These materials are T700 grade, military standard, more than enough to make fishing rods. But besides making fishing rods, I really don't know where else to use them for the time being.

There are 2,500 finished fishing rods piled up in the warehouse, and another 1,000 in the warehouse in Shenzhen, making a total of 3,500.

If these 3,500 fishing rods can't be sold, they'll just be a pile of junk.

Ye Bingwen sat in his office all day without going out.

I didn't eat lunch either.

Liu Xiaojun and Master Li had both heard about this, and no one dared to enter the office.

Work in the workshop continued as usual, but the atmosphere was different from before.

The new machines are still running, but everyone knows that something has happened at the factory again.

When Ye Bingwen returned home that evening, Zheng Shuyun had already prepared dinner.

He sat down at the table, picked up the bowl, took a couple of bites, and then put it down.

Zheng Shuyun looked at him without saying anything.

An'an was playing with her little panda by herself nearby.

After finishing his meal, Ye Bingwen sat alone in the living room.

After coaxing An'an to sleep, Zheng Shuyun came out and sat down opposite him.

"Bingwen".

"Um."

Something's happened.

Ye Bingwen didn't speak, he just nodded.

Zheng Shuyun didn't ask any more questions. She took a pot of wine from the cabinet, poured a glass, and placed it in front of Ye Bingwen.

"Have a drink."

Ye Bingwen picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Zheng Shuyun poured him another cup.

Ye Bingwen didn't drink the second cup as quickly.

He took a slow sip, choked a little, and his eyes suddenly felt a little hot.

"The Charm of Books"

"Um."

"I really messed up this time."

How big?

"One hundred and fifty-six thousand."

Zheng Shuyun paused for a moment while holding the wine pot, but her face remained expressionless.

"What happened?"

Ye Bingwen recounted the entire story of Lin Guoqing from beginning to end.

Zheng Shuyun remained silent for a while after listening.

"Did Chen An and Accountant Sun try to persuade you back then?"

"I've tried to persuade them."

"Didn't you hear me?"

"I didn't hear you."

Zheng Shuyun sighed.

"Bingwen, I have something to say about this, and you might not like what I'm about to say."

"you say."

"In the business world, God charges tuition fees."

"Um."

"This 156,000 you paid is tuition; once you've paid it, you'll know how to avoid pitfalls next time."

"But the tuition is too expensive, and the factory is already short of money."

"It's expensive, but at least the factory hasn't gone out of business."

Ye Bingwen remained silent.

Zheng Shuyun added.

"Tell me, is there any other way to use up those materials and finished rods?"

Ye Bingwen looked up at her.

"You mean—"

"Didn't you say that material is better than what we used before? Can it be used for military equipment?"

Ye Bingwen was taken aback.

He really hadn't thought about that.

He was only thinking about Lin Guoqing running away and that the 156,000 yuan had gone down the drain, without considering what else he could do with the money he had.

T700 grade carbon fiber cloth is military grade, so it's more than enough to make the parts for the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense.

As for the three thousand five hundred finished fishing rods—

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Ye Bingwen's mind.

He remembered Zhang Weidong's sporting goods store.

The fishing rods in that shop cost ninety-eight yuan each.

Even if he gives a wholesale price of fifty-one per stick, he can still recoup more than 170,000 yuan from 3,500 sticks.

But it's not that simple; they have to go door-to-door to each domestic sales outlet.

"The Charm of Books"

"Um."

"I need to sleep now, I have things to do tomorrow."

Zheng Shuyun put the wine pot away.

"Go to sleep."

Ye Bingwen didn't sleep much that night, but by dawn, the turmoil in his mind was less than the night before.

Chapter 176 Filling the Hole You Dig Yourself The next morning, when Ye Bingwen arrived at the factory, he looked much better than the day before.

He called Chen An, Accountant Sun, Master Li, Liu Xiaojun, and Old Hu the carpenter to his office.

The office was packed with people.

Ye Bingwen stood up.

"After this incident, everyone knows how much we lost."

No one spoke.

"I'd like to say three things first."

"First of all, this is entirely my fault. Chen An and Accountant Sun advised me against it, but I didn't listen, so I can't blame anyone else."

Chen An wanted to say something, but Ye Bingwen waved his hand.

"Secondly, the factory will not go bankrupt."

"We still have a little bit of the loan left, plus the advance payment from the third batch of orders signed with the military industry, so we can keep paying wages and keep working."

Master Li nodded in agreement.

"The third sentence, Curry's materials and rods,"
