Suspend 80% of the Project

[Project: Blue Dragon Supercar Club]

Return on Investment: Loss!

Reason: An important document will be issued ordering the project to stop in one week, and it will be forcibly required to be remodeled into a park or garden. Although it cooperates with the government and has welfare support, it still cannot make any profit after completion.

This project burned through nearly one billion yuan for Li Chen and several partners in less than half a year after it started.

Heaven knows how much money will be burned by the time this club is completed.

Moreover, even if it is completed, based on Li Chen's understanding of the club, it is impossible to earn all the money back without a dozen or twenty years.

Not to mention that he now knows the construction of this club will stop.

Therefore, Li Chen decided to terminate this project to minimize his losses.

Next:

[Food Market Seafood Market]

Return on Investment: 120%

Reason: This project is a cooperative project with the government, with three years of development and four years of operation. It will only start to break even in the sixth year. Due to the continuous improvement of people's quality of life, the seafood market will achieve very stable profits.

Although the return on investment is acceptable, the cycle is too long.

Although it has been developed for more than two years now, it is still too long for needing to earn twenty million within one hundred days.

So Li Chen decided to put this project aside for now and make plans later.

Continue to the next:

[Time Shopping City]

Return on Investment: 251%

Reason: None other than it occupies the best location in Shanghai. As long as it can open, it will definitely sell out!

This Time Shopping City was the most proud project the original owner of this body's father secured three years ago.

Every day when he came home, he would boast about it. As long as this project opened, the company would step onto a brand new stage!

It's just a pity that less than half a year before it opened, they both died.

"A return rate of 251%."

Li Chen roughly calculated an account in his heart.

The total investment for Time Shopping City is around 6.5 billion yuan.

Currently, 4.8 billion yuan has been invested.

There is still a gap of 1.7 billion yuan to fully develop it.

Calculated according to a return rate of 251%.

This project can earn Li Chen at least 16.315 billion yuan!

With this 16 billion yuan, earning two hundred million yuan will be much easier.

Therefore, this project must be developed!

Discovering this Time Shopping City made Li Chen's mood much better.

However, the subsequent projects were really hard for Li Chen to describe.

And those projects that were ready to start were even more idiotic; whoever did them would die!

He continued to spend a few minutes organizing and divided these documents into three copies.

The first copy contained projects with extremely high or decent return on investment, but which could not be started due to lack of conditions and had to be shelved, such as the Food Market Seafood Market.

The second copy contained projects that could provide returns in a short time, but the investment amount was high and required careful consideration before making plans.

The third copy contained some idiotic projects, the kind that would make you feel sorry for the trash can if you threw them directly into it.

Looking at the Time Shopping City contract in front of him, Li Chen decided to make it the key for the company to turn things around!

As for the gold mine with a 1000% return on investment, there is still a month left.

He could send people over in advance to make arrangements so that his transaction could be completed smoothly.

After finishing this, Li Chen stretched lazily, "Hmm, it's been a long time since I've been this serious."

"Grumble—"

At this moment, a strange sound suddenly entered Li Chen's ears.

Following the sound, Xuan Ke was looking down, covering her stomach in pain, her face flushed.

"Xuan Ke, didn't you get off work already? Why are you still here?" Li Chen asked in confusion.

"Ah, well... I saw President Li was too serious just now, so I didn't dare disturb you."

"Sorry, sorry, this is how I am when I get serious. As an apology and for you helping me gather all these documents, how about I treat you to a good meal?"

"Okay, okay, if President Li is treating, I must have a good meal!"

Xuan Ke was extremely happy. It's not easy to be treated to a meal by someone else, and being treated to a meal by a CEO of a listed company like Li Chen was something she had never even thought of.

Next, Li Chen drove his Lamborghini Veneno towards a Michelin three-star restaurant he often visited.

After a simple meal, Li Chen drove Xuan Ke home.

"Xuan Ke, don't be late for work tomorrow."

"Hmph, President Li, you won't find a girlfriend like this!" Xuan Ke said puffing out her cheeks.

"If I can't find one, I can't find one. Anyway, isn't it enough that I have you?"

Hearing this, Xuan Ke's face instantly turned red.

At the same time, she also remembered what her best friend had said before she started working.

When there's work, the secretary does it; when there's no work, hehehe!

"Haha, just kidding, get some good rest, I'm leaving now."

"Okay, see you tomorrow, President Li." Xuan Ke lowered her head and waved at Li Chen.

The next day.

When Xuan Ke arrived at the office, she saw what Li Chen was writing and couldn't help but be quite shocked!

Li Chen also noticed Xuan Ke at this moment, so he looked up and smiled, "Xuan Ke, you're here."

"Hmm, President Li, why are you here so early today? You're usually not like this."

Usually, Li Chen would avoid coming to the company if possible, and even if he came, it was because Master Li called him over.

A situation like today, according to the past, would absolutely not happen.

Look at what you're saying. Just because I usually get up late, can't I get up early once?

Since you're here, help me take these reports to the other directors.

Taking the report Li Chen handed over, she asked curiously, "President Li, what is written in this? Can I take a look?"

"Of course, this doesn't involve any commercial secrets. It's a good opportunity for you to also help me check if anything is missing."

"Then I'll help President Li take a look."

As soon as she opened the report, she was startled!

Li Chen actually wanted to cut 80% of the company's projects in one go!

And among them, many were projects that were already close to completion!

Could it be that President Li has reverted back to his old ways?!

Seeing this report, this sentence quickly appeared in Xuan Ke's mind.

"Tell me, what are your thoughts?"

"I don't quite understand, President Li, why are you cutting so many of the company's projects at once?"

"Because of time!"

"I just made a bet with those guys yesterday to earn two hundred billion yuan within 100 days."

"So I must cut or shelve some projects with longer cycles, and restart them after overcoming this difficulty."

After hearing Li Chen's words, Xuan Ke instantly had a sudden realization!

Recalling the projects that were just shelved or terminated, there were indeed reasons in this regard.

Either the cycle was too long and difficult to profit from, or the investment was too large for the company's current capabilities to bear.

"If there are no problems, then help me hand it over to the director of the responsible department," Li Chen stretched lazily and said languidly, "If he is not convinced, just tell him to come find me, and I will explain it to him myself."

"Understood!"
