Chapter 536: 531 Superhuman Boss_1

"Recently, the company will be receiving a lot of money, and you must keep accurate records; every single payment in and out of the sales department, even down to the last penny, cannot be off."

"And another thing, don’t hide or avoid paying the taxes we owe. Cooperate actively with their work."

Gu Chen said to them with great caution.

Gu Chen had two concerns in this regard. First, he didn’t want to bring trouble on himself over a small sum of money, and second, he worried that now, at this critical moment, it would be foolish to become vulnerable to those wealthy businessmen and let them take advantage of him because of this money.

After hearing this, they nodded earnestly.

Gu Chen let them go after that; he hadn’t come today with any other purpose in mind.

His visit was first to check on their current situation, and second to remind them of their upcoming tasks.

From the very beginning until today, Gu Chen had been preparing for the launch of Xiao Baijiu for nearly a month.

He planned to introduce Xiao Baijiu to the market before starting the project with Wei Tianfu.

After leaving the office, all the employees were sitting there.

Gu Chen always felt like a homeroom teacher, with the employees being like his students, who would all behave the moment he appeared.

"There’s not much work now, so you can leave for the day," he said.

Gu Chen was very humane about it; there was genuinely no work to be done, so there was no point in their staying there.

So it would be better to use this time for something else.

When they heard Gu Chen telling them they could leave, they all became extremely happy.

"Thank you, Boss!"

"We can leave now? Isn’t it six hours till the end of the shift?"

"Leaving already? I had just finished ordering my lunch."

"Who cares about lunch? The boss said we can go, so let’s hurry up and leave!"

The employees were all very excited. Although their time with Gu Chen hadn’t been long, this small gesture earned him significant points in their eyes.

Their lack of work experience didn’t mean they had never worked elsewhere; those jobs were just part-time while they were studying.

Even so, they had experienced the harshness of society and the ruthlessness of employers.

Leaving work early? It was already good enough not to work overtime.

To hope for leaving work early was purely wishful thinking.

Gu Chen left the company first as he had a large order to place.

He had recalibrated the liquor formula during the previous session to reduce its cost even further.

The original intention of Xiao Baijiu was to sell a concept.

He knew that the domestic baijiu market didn’t lack established brands.

Many baijius were even notoriously famous locally, with the locals only recognizing that particular brand.

It would be quite difficult to enter the market based solely on the taste of the liquor.

However, a concept was different. It was often not the taste that defeated established brands, but a phrase.

A single phrase could lead to a company worth billions in market value, a path previously trodden by successful people in his past life.

In the end, according to Gu Chen’s calculations, the cost of producing a bottle of Xiao Baijiu was two yuan.

His wholesale price was eight yuan, which meant he would make a profit of six yuan per bottle.

According to his memory, Xiao Baijiu could sell a billion bottles in ten years.

Within this deal laid sixty billion yuan in profit.

That amounts to an average of ten billion yuan per year.

Of course, he wasn’t sure if he could replicate that success.

But even if he didn’t, selling a hundred million bottles in ten years was well within reach.

Even so, that would amount to a whopping sixty million a year.

That’s no small sum; in fact, it’s quite a lot!

Little Brother Gu decided to launch the first batch of production lines, starting off with a hundred thousand bottles.

He wanted to make a name for himself in Chuan City first, then gradually expand into other cities, and ultimately cover the entire national market in the end.

After a busy day, the assembly line finally began production.

Spiritual Spring, coupled with various low-priced, well-known liquors, combined to create what was called "little white liquor."

Simple and effortless, it hardly required Little Brother Gu to expend much energy.

In the afternoon, as usual, he delivered medication to Xiao Meng and Qi Qi.

When he arrived at Qi Qi’s hospital room, Old Yuan pulled Little Brother Gu aside to chat.

"Didn’t you ask me about real estate yesterday? I specifically asked around about it.

As far as I know, a commercial street and a school are definitely happening. That’s set in stone, but the rest are currently unclear.

However, from what I’ve gathered, it seems like the authorities don’t want to collaborate with the established real estate magnates in Chuan City this time.

I reckon someone new will soon enter the real estate industry here in Chuan City."

Since their discussion yesterday, Old Yuan had indeed inquired around, spending some cash and calling in favors to obtain this piece of information.

Although he didn’t know what Little Brother Gu’s intentions were in asking him this question,

he thought it might be very important for Little Brother Gu, so he decided to get an answer for him.

Little Brother Gu was somewhat astonished upon hearing this. He hadn’t expected Old Yuan to be this well-informed.

He had only just learned about it today from Wei Tianfu, and now Old Yuan already had the news.

What was key was that Old Yuan even knew about Tian Fu’s plans not to cooperate with the local developers in Chuan City.

It seemed that walls truly have ears in this world.

"Old Yuan, you’re really well-connected," Little Brother Gu couldn’t help but say.

"It’s nothing, just that I have a few more friends, so I know a bit more," Old Yuan brushed it off with a chuckle, not disclosing who told him.

"If they don’t collaborate with those local developers in Chuan City, are you saying those developers won’t react at all? Can they swallow this affront?" Little Brother Gu asked Old Yuan.

"Of course they won’t let it go without a fight.

From my understanding, they’ll definitely use a three-pronged approach.

The first blow will strike at those above.

The second blow will fall on the developers who take the contract.

The final blow will directly target the capital chain for this project.

With these three blows, nobody can withstand it."

Old Yuan said to Little Brother Gu with utter conviction.

After listening, Little Brother Gu’s lips twitched involuntarily.

Well, well, looks like it’s one axe for each of us – Wei Tianfu, Wu Dazhu, and me?

"It’s just a matter of which contractor will take on the project.

That guy’s really unlucky. He might just wind up bankrupt if he’s not careful this time."

Old Yuan sighed on the side, as if he had a very clear understanding of these matters.

"Can they actually land these three blows? Do they really have such enormous power?" Little Brother Gu feigned ignorance.

"Little Brother Gu, don’t underestimate these land sharks. As we all say, these guys are ruthless; there’s nothing they can’t do.

Besides, their influence now is far from small. I reckon they’ve already made their move."

Old Yuan spoke with absolute certainty, sharpness gleaming from his squinted eyes.
