It is agreed that the 18th line will be top-notch?

In the afternoon, Mr. Yang, who was worried about the future, left the office and wandered around other departments.

You can't blame him for being worried - the company's development is about to reach a bottleneck, and now it looks so prosperous, it really makes people a little anxious.

Before, the company was still a small one, and Yang Ruoqian could invest heavily in local areas to increase his own costs.

Later, the company accidentally became a large local enterprise, and Mr. Yang could continue to increase investment across the country, and he would win as long as the speed of spending money exceeded the speed of making profits.

Even now, Mr. Yang can still work miracles and invest wildly internationally to cover up the profits from previous projects.

In short, as long as there are bigger projects, the nesting dolls can continue.

But there is always a limit to this way of spending money.

After all the international projects have been invested in, he can’t invest in alien projects, right?
What if these international projects of mine are still profitable?
Where can we find bigger and better projects to cover up this part of the profit?

While strolling around the company, he suddenly saw Shao Yiqi acting suspiciously.

"What are you doing?" Yang Ruoqian was stunned for a moment, "The company's safe is not here, and there is no camera. Just go and get it."

Shao Yiqi was caught red-handed and was stunned: "Am I that kind of person? And who steals safes these days?"

"So what are you trying to do secretly?"

Shao Yiqi said, "Hide from Luo Ruqin. She is like Skynet in the company now, and she likes to tip you off the most. I'm afraid she will tell you that I sneaked back."

Yang Ruoqian corrected him, "But now I've caught you in the act. Tell me, why are you coming to the company instead of running your zoo?"

"The personnel coordination at the zoo has been almost completed!" Shao Yiqi argued, "I am a person who knows nothing, so I can't play a role there. In a few days, the candidate for the director who I think is good will come to the company, and you can go for an interview then."

I just don't want you to play a role, so I exiled you to the zoo...

Yang Ruoqian would not be diverted by such talk, and said, "You still haven't told me what you want to do by secretly returning to the company."

Since he had been caught anyway, Shao Yiqi toughened up a bit: "Have you forgotten about the cruise ship incident? My dad has responded."

Any response to the cruise ship issue?
Yang Ruoqian perked up - this quarter, the project that mattered most to him was the cruise ship.

The initial investment is large, the payback period is long, and it is a money-making beast that can be moved around the world. It is close to perfect in every aspect.

It will take some time for the accounts for this quarter to be settled, but after watching the movie live, Yang Ruoqian has completely lost his expectations for this quarter.

Just a suspended death sentence.

It hasn’t been settled yet, but I can start thinking about what to do next quarter.

"Yes, although my father is the chairman, the amount involved is quite large, you know." Shao Yiqi squinted his eyes, "The results are almost out now."

"How is it?" Yang Ruoqian was very happy and did not pursue the fact that Shao Yiqi had escaped from the exile place without permission. "How much is the offer?"

"This is not like buying a mobile phone, where you pay and get the goods." Shao Yiqi sat on the sofa and took out a can of Coke from the refrigerator in the lounge. "There are many miscellaneous items. I can't explain them clearly, and I can't understand them... The people over there will send the specific list to the relevant staff of the company. Qi Mu should be able to make a simple summary list for you."

"But don't worry, it's definitely an internal discount price! Those old guys on the board of directors can't beat my dad."

Yang Ruoqian: "...I don't think this is necessary at all, just do it in a businesslike manner."

For projects like this that cost tens of billions of dollars, any small "discount" would be very scary.

You are from a big group, don’t treat such an important project so lightly!

Business wars are about watering each other's money trees, and business talks are all about personal emotions. How come this is completely different from the scene I imagined before, where I could sit in front of a computer and make tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars in minutes with just the movement of my hands?

"No, that won't work. I proposed this project and I'm the person in charge, so I'll definitely do whatever it takes to save money. And it's too late for you to say it now. The whole thing is almost settled."

"Forget it." Yang Ruoqian chose to be patient, "Just keep talking."

Anyway, this cruise ship will undergo major renovations in the future, and the money saved on the cruise ship itself can be doubled back on the renovations.

"The cruise ship is now at the port of Magic City. Do you want to go take a look? And by the way, look for some inspiration for the modification?"

"Is it possible now? Isn't it just a matter of time?"

"You are kidding, you are a big customer." Shao Yiqi waved his hand, "You are a little too underestimated your influence in the market. Others, such as the richest man and other bigwigs, are calculated based on assets, but you are different, you have cash in your hands."

Today’s wealth calculations are all based on assets.

In more extreme cases, for example, a person owns assets worth 10 billion, but also has liabilities of 10 billion. Using simple mathematical conversion, the actual money he owns should be 0.

But when the facts are calculated, this is not the case.

Therefore, a person with a net worth of 10 billion cannot take out that much cash.

If the debt ratio is too high and the turnover is too high, a company worth tens of billions, hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars may collapse in an instant.

Mr. Yang is different. All of Kuiguang Group's industries have high cash flow. According to outside speculation, with the funds in his hands, a single order can solve the liquidity crisis of many companies.

For Gaoyao Group, converting super heavy assets such as cruise ships into cash flow is a very profitable deal.

"You don't know how many companies could survive without our help. So you know why the Kuiguang Group has so many unnecessary expenses, but still has such a high profit in the end, right?"

The reason is simple. Whether a company can survive or not, how much profit or loss it makes is certainly important, but whether it has enough funds to support shipments and capital inflow is the decisive factor.

Even if a factory has been making losses, as long as it can continue to recover funds, continue to spread costs with a large number of products, and drag out time, it will have a chance to turn things around.

The original capital is 100 yuan, and the loss of one round of products is 5 yuan. There is still 95 yuan of funds recovered, so we can continue production and wait for opportunities.

But if the products cannot be sold, the entire factory will cease to operate in an instant with only assets but no cash.

The Kuiguang Group not only has a large demand, but is also very willing to pay. It does not delay payment for goods, allowing turnover to flow faster and spreading the overall cost.

Doing business with the group can save so much money, so the quote given will naturally be lower.

Yang Ruoqian's mouth twitched: "So, the price of the products we get is low, which makes our entire upstream always in a very cheap and low-cost state. So even if we splurge so much in the company, the actual cost is still lower, is that what you mean?"

Shao Yiqi nodded and said, "Yes. To be honest, the company's benefits are only more expensive at the beginning. As time goes by, compared with the low cost of our supply chain, the operating and maintenance costs are no different from zero."

For example, the massage chair in the company's rest area.

It is indeed very expensive to purchase in large quantities at the beginning. But after the purchase, the subsequent maintenance cost is just the electricity bill, right?

The massage chair Yang Ruoqian bought at that time was expensive and of extremely high quality. After using it for so long, not to mention any malfunction, there was not even any obvious damage to it.

The same goes for game rooms, luxury restaurants and bars.

Once the game consoles and various equipment are purchased and the luxurious kitchen is built, won’t the subsequent electricity bills, beverage and snack bills, and food bills be the same as nothing?
Even if the company cafeteria often uses high-end ingredients, the regular customer price and wholesale price will not make the cost too high.

Yang Ruoqian: "Okay, no need to talk anymore, let's continue talking about the cruise."

It turned out that all the things he racked his brains to create to increase costs were finally eliminated by his lovely employees from other places.

Thanks to the group, suppliers have solved their liquidity crisis; group employees have enjoyed high salaries and benefits; project leaders have received the best profit data...

Is Yang Ruoqian the only one injured?

Shao Yiqi asked curiously, "Why else do you think the company can make so much money?"

"Okay, it will be rude to say more. Let's continue talking about your cruise. I will ask Qi Mu to arrange a plane ticket and fly over to take a look."

"So anxious? Aren't you waiting for the private jet to be arranged?"

Yang Ruoqian was too lazy to pay attention to him and directly sent a message to Qi Mu, asking her to book two first-class tickets from Jinhai to Modu as quickly as possible, regardless of cost.

Three hours later, the two college classmates arrived at the airport.

Soon, the plane arrived in the prosperous Magic City.

Qi Mu's arrangements were very good. As soon as they got off the plane, a special car came to pick them up. All the procedures, including hotel reservations and going to the pier, were in place.

Arriving at the boarding gate, Yang Ruoqian glanced through the glass at the super-large cruise ship that could be called a giant on the sea.

It is 50 meters long, nearly meters wide, and meters above sea level.

According to rough estimates, the entire ship can accommodate at least 5000 tourists.

On the top floor of the entire cruise ship, you can also see a water park with a full range of facilities including swimming pools, water slides, surfing pools, etc. Next to the water park is a winding and steep roller coaster track that circles the deck.

Naturally, its scale is not as large as the Kuiguang Theme Park on land, but it is small but complete in every way - being able to feel the sea breeze, feel the weightlessness from a high altitude while looking at the endless ocean is already the ultimate enjoyment.

Not to mention that there are also a series of entertainment facilities inside the cabin, including cinemas, stage theaters, shopping malls, arcade centers, etc.

Rather than saying it is a ship, it is more like a giant marine amusement complex!
"How can there be so many things on the ship?" Yang Ruoqian was amazed at the sight, "It makes me want to play with them."

"What's the point of this?" Shao Yiqi walked towards the boarding gate. "Let's find a top design team and a top engineering team to transform the entire cruise ship into a futuristic AI theme... In the dark night, riding a high-tech roller coaster and traveling through light pollution is the ultimate enjoyment."

Yang Ruoqian nodded: "The atmosphere must be created well, and the cost in this area must not be saved casually."

How much would it cost to have an engineering team renovate a roller coaster on a cruise ship?

How much work and difficulty would it take to renovate every room and fill every corner of this traditional cruise ship with Luo Ruying, ai and a sense of the future?

Just as the two were chatting, Yang Ruoqian saw from afar a man in a suit and tie walking down from the cabin and heading straight towards them.

"Hello, Mr. Yang, Hello, Mr. Shao. The chairman is waiting for you two inside."

Yang Ruoqian was stunned: "Chairman?"

Shao Yiqi's father, the big boss of Gaoyao Group?

But on second thought, for a project involving tens of billions of dollars, it is quite normal for the bosses of both sides to meet.

"Yes, should I take you there now, or would you like to rest in the living room first?"

Such a luxurious cruise ship would certainly have two luxurious rooms.

"Just go over there." Yang Ruoqian thought for a moment, "No need to be so grand."

Since it's a sudden meeting without an appointment, there's no need to be so formal.

As he walked into the cabin, Yang Ruoqian took the time to take a look at his surroundings.

It has to be said that as a giant luxury cruise ship, it not only looks luxurious on the outside, but the inside is equally as luxurious. Even the subtle design is unique and ingenious.

What makes Mr. Yang most happy is that these design styles are incompatible with the AI ​​style and future style.

The cost of the transformation will be huge by then!
Thinking of this, Yang Ruoqian took out his mobile phone, took two photos at random, and sent the photos to Luo Ruying through a special software.

"Rebellious son, come out and look at this."

"Luo Ruying is here, what do you want, boss?"

Yang Ruoqian: "[Picture], can you tell what this is?"

After all, it was an AI with a large database. After a few seconds of thinking, Luo Ruying immediately gave the correct answer: "Is it on the cruise ship? The one with the roller coaster!"

Yang Ruoqian chuckled, praising but criticizing: "You searched correctly."

"Wow, boss, you're going to have fun without taking me with you? I know you can't take me with you, but aside from objective factors, can't you take me with you?"

He calls me boss, but he says things that only a rebellious son would say.

Yang Ruoqian didn't care and said, "Play? How could I, a big boss, come out just for fun? I plan to buy this cruise ship for you, build a theme park tailor-made for you, and let you hold a global tour concert on it."

"Lie..."

After reading the first word of Luo Ruying's reply, a familiar voice came from the front.

"Hello, Mr. Yang. How are you?"

Shao Changfeng stood up, walked forward and stretched out his hand, with an attitude completely like that of an equal partner.

Compared to when Shao Yiqi was working in the early stages of the group's establishment, he is a completely different person! (End of this chapter)
