Chapter 130 Still Need to Work Hard to Make Money [4th Update]



```

"Of course, they just stirred up the employees to demand wages from President Yuan and make trouble, while deliberately concealing their own assets, defaulting on the money they owe to the bank and the workers, which is all against the law!" Zuo Le said with a serious face.

Originally, Liu Lihe and Yang Hong were still worried about the loss of those fifty thousand yuan, thinking it was definitely gone for good. They didn't expect to not only lose the fifty thousand yuan and get beaten for nothing but also, upon hearing Zuo Le's words, realized they had broken the law, which scared them to the point of peeing their pants. They scrambled to their feet and rushed to Yuan Li, sobbing and sniffling, "Yuan Li, it's all my fault, I'm not a human, please I beg you, look at..."

Yuan Li felt incredibly disgusted upon seeing this and turned her head away. As for Director Wang, Li Geng, and the others, they wasted no time and pounced like hungry wolves, seizing Liu Lihe and Yang Hong without hesitation.

This was a golden opportunity for them to atone for their crimes with meritorious deeds!

Unfortunately, they didn't know that their attempt to make amends had come too late. Zuo Le had already decided to make an example out of them as the first step in a determined effort to rectify the internal discipline of the police force.

There was actually not much to see at the factory, it was just some production equipment, including high-temperature extraction, filtration, filling, and other such devices. Ge Dongxu and the others didn't understand these things and would have to experiment with them first to get to know how they worked. Luckily, the machines seemed to be in good condition and could operate normally. The workers operating them were among those who had just demanded wages, and they had all expressed their willingness to stay on and work. Therefore, if Ge Dongxu wanted to continue producing "Liu Jiansheng" herbal tea without changing the formula, it was possible to start right away. As for the sales channels, Ge Dongxu also inquired and found it wasn't as complex as they had initially thought.

Essentially, Liu Lihe had just been delivering the goods directly to several county and district non-staple food wholesale markets in Ouzhou City, with the stores in the market distributing them further. Beyond that, there were hardly any other sales channels to speak of, which explained the modest sales volume.

However, for small factories like theirs, without any significant advertisement investment, their main expense went into the initial investment in factory equipment. The other costs, including wages and raw material expenses, were actually very low, so a large portion of the revenue would be profit. This aspect was rather similar to the Yaxu Trademark Factory that Ge Dongxu and the others were running. Even though the sales volume was not huge and the market was limited to the Ouzhou City region, with a large share in Changxi County, as long as Liu Lihe and Yang Hong didn't squander recklessly and maintained operations, there would still be some surplus each year.

After getting a grasp of the general situation, Cheng Yazhou and Wu Qianjin felt greatly reassured. On the one hand, the business wasn't as complicated as they had imagined, and on the other, their investment in the herbal tea beverage factory was mainly due to Ge Dongxu. As long as there was no loss and a small profit yearly, it was acceptable to them. Wu Qianjin even couldn't help but suggest they might as well continue to produce under the "Liu Jiansheng" brand. This would mean they wouldn't need to change production processes, trademarks, packaging, and so on. Plus, they could retain the old customers without having to reintroduce "Qinghe" herbal tea to them.

But Cheng Yazhou, well aware of Ge Dongxu's brilliant medical skills, still preferred using his formula, and Ge Dongxu, naturally, thought the same. Thus, Wu Qianjin's suggestion was immediately rejected.

Wu Qianjin merely made the suggestion without insisting, especially since he had only invested fifty thousand yuan.

Since Ge Dongxu had classes in the afternoon, after a quick look around and seeing no issues, he instructed the workers to clean the factory thoroughly before heading back to school by car. As for the subsequent transfer, re-registration of trademarks, and other procedures, naturally, Ge Dongxu didn't need to worry; Cheng Yazhou and Wu Qianjin would handle it all. He just needed to transfer the money to Cheng Yazhou and sign some documents.

As for resuming production, it would definitely have to wait until these procedures were completed and the new production processes were successfully researched. All these required time and couldn't be rushed.

Fortunately, the summer vacation was approaching, and Ge Dongxu would have two months off. He would then have plenty of time to research new production processes. Once the new production processes were successful, there wouldn't be much left for Ge Dongxu to do. At most, he would provide some ideas and suggestions, with the specifics to be implemented by Cheng Yazhou and Wu Qianjin.

Time quickly arrived at Friday. After class in the afternoon, Ge Dongxu first returned to Cheng Yazhou's home, briefly reviewed his books, then packed some clean clothes and left Cheng Yazhou's home for the train station.

After purchasing a train ticket to Linzhou City in the provincial capital, Ge Dongxu found a small restaurant near the train station to take care of a simple meal, then returned to the waiting hall to wait.

With nothing else to do, Ge Dongxu took out a thick book on economics and started to browse through it casually.

Unlike other high school students, in order to cultivate, he must start earning money early, and it had to be a substantial amount. Therefore, in his spare time, he tried to read as much as he could about investment and economics.

However, this subject was not his genuine interest or hobby, it was purely out of necessity. After flipping through the book for a while, Ge Dongxu's thoughts inevitably began to drift as he recalled the events of the past few days.

The acquisition of the herbal tea beverage factory went smoothly after some initial troubles on the first day at the factory. On Thursday, Ge Dongxu transferred 520,000 yuan out of his account.

Out of this 520,000 yuan, 350,000 was needed for his 70% share of the investment. The additional 170,000 was a personal expense, as Liu Jiansheng's herbal tea beverage factory was only valued at a maximum of 300,000 yuan normally. To help Yuan Li, Ge Dongxu acquired it for 470,000 yuan, so this extra 170,000 came from his personal funds.

Due to the fact that Liu Lihe and Yang Hong still had 50,000 yuan hidden, after paying the workers' salaries, there was a surplus of 42,000 yuan. All of this was naturally appropriated to repay the bank loan. They had originally borrowed 550,000 yuan in total. Adding 42,000 to the 470,000 made 512,000 yuan, with only a shortfall of 38,000 yuan.

Yuan Li had slightly over 30,000 yuan in savings, which was just enough to cover the gap, so she didn't have to owe Ge Dongxu any money. Originally, Ge Dongxu intended to contribute 500,000 yuan, but could not win against her insistence on 470,000 yuan. He agreed to cover the shortfall herself, which was considered a debt to him.

Although Yuan Li didn't formally owe Ge Dongxu money, in her heart, she was very clear that she owed him a lot.

This time, Ge Dongxu had taken out a loan of 1.4 million yuan, and with 520,000 yuan spent on the herbal tea beverage factory and 160,000 yuan on redeeming the factory land, he calculated that there was still 720,000 yuan lying in his bank account.

Thinking of the 720,000 yuan lying in his account, Ge Dongxu felt a little excited. But when he remembered that the trip to the provincial capital would cost at least 300,000 to 400,000 yuan, his heart couldn't help but ache with the expense. And this was all predicated on the successful carving of a Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation Talisman Jade. If the carving failed, he would have to spend even more money. Therefore, if the jade and price were right, he actually wanted to buy a bit more. As a result, it was hard to say how much money would be left in his account afterward.

Thinking of this, Ge Dongxu felt that the task of earning money was arduous and the road ahead was long; he could not relax his studies, so he quickly put away the distracting thoughts and forced himself to concentrate on the economics book again.

"Dongxu? What are you doing here?" Just as Ge Dongxu was about to read, a familiar voice reached his ear.
