"What?!"

Fang Shi was stunned by Chen Xiaohui's words, and the Xia family sisters also widened their eyes in surprise, Xia Yuyao needless to say, she never cared about these things, Xia Yuxin had read the report of the Institute of Biology, but that was when the institute opened for two months, although the expenditure in those two months was not small, but because it was just created, a lot of equipment had to be purchased, so Xia Yuxin felt that it was quite reasonable.

But now the institute does not have any large-scale purchases, and it spends 300 million a month, you must know that Qingchengshan has not spent 300 million in the past ten years! This is really too exaggerated, of course, Xia Yuxin did not suspect that Chen Xiaohui was lying.

Chen Xiaohui pursed her lips, did not answer Fang Shi's question, and continued with a narrow face: "The Great Library Pavilion spends more than 30 million a month, and next month I plan to buy another set of large servers, and I will invest an additional 200 million. The Gu worm research project in cooperation with Xuanshuimen spends 30 million this month, and we account for a relatively small proportion of the spirit beast cultivation in cooperation with Tianyun Mountain, so only 10 million is enough, mainly to buy medicinal materials and potions."

"Wait, I did the math, we're going to spend at least 400 million this month, maybe 600 million next month"

"No, you're too little, some of our newly expanded industries still need to be invested, and there are two long-term special expenditures, you know, our total expenditure this month is 690 million, and next month it will be 1.1 billion."

"Oh my God!"

Fang Shi increased the amount with his hand, feeling that it was a little difficult for him to breathe, with so much money, where did he earn it? Worse. These expenditure items have already been rolled out. There is no way to shrink at all. Fang Shi was very worried that once he ran out of money, would the current good development momentum of Qingcheng Mountain come to an abrupt end.

Xia Yuxin glanced at Fang Shi who was sweating on his forehead, Fang Shi's nervousness was a little funny, although he now has a high status and his strength is even more unequal, but in front of them, he often behaves like a child, but. This kind of imperfection makes Xia Yuxin feel very warm and down-to-earth.

"Xiaohui, you only talked about expenses, what about our income? Is it balanced? ”

Fang Shi suddenly came to his senses when he heard this, and he was startled by Chen Xiaohui, so he didn't even consider this important issue.

Chen Xiaohui smiled slyly and said: "The income was more than 400 million last month, and it may be more this month, about 800 million, and the income and expenditure are barely balanced, but." Will Elder Fang develop new spending items? For example, the project in the southern sea, only the cost of the modification and maintenance of the submarine. It's 100 million a year. And your plan to build a factory, how much investment in this factory has not yet been decided, right? ”

"Wait, you mean that little submarine, they actually asked me for money, and I'll give you a lung!"

Fang Shi was furious.

Chen Xiaohui grinned: "Take a walk on the books, and the government will reimburse you." ”

Fang Shi froze: "You girl!" ”

Chen Xiaohui didn't care about being cute and coquettish at Fang Shi, Fang Shi couldn't say anything about her, but Xia Yuxin glared at Chen Xiaohui gloomily, and the girl shrank her neck in fright.

"Xiaohui, you should remind me to do what I can."

Chen Xiaohui smiled: "Of course, I won't let you do anything beyond your ability, if we don't have the financial resources, I will naturally sue you." ”

Fang Shi smiled bitterly, does this girl really want to secretly ask Claire to be her personal financial advisor? But in this case, the little girl will be sad.

was hesitating, but Xia Yuxin sneered and said, "Xiaohui, you can order it, Claire has joined Huaxia, and I am pondering whether to ask her to be our family's personal financial advisor." ”

Xia Yuxin deliberately used an accent on the word 'home', and it is obvious that this family does not refer to the Xia family, but the Fang family.

Chen Xiaohui pouted aggrievedly, and Ai Ai looked at Fang Shi and said, "Fang Shi, your woman bullied me." ”

"Is there one? How do I think you're bullying me? ”

Fang Shi said with a smile, Chen Xiaohui pouted, swept away her complaining expression, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, anyway, your family likes to bully people, and I will submit financial advice to you in time in the future." ”

Fang Shi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at his eldest wife gratefully, and Xia Yuxin raised his eyebrows proudly.

"Very well, then tell me first, why is the cost of the Institute of Biology increasing so fast? It takes hundreds of millions a month, and I remember that there are not many of them. ”

Fang Shi did not hide his surprise, Chen Xiaohui smiled and said: "What you see is only a part of the research institute, in fact, a large part of the research and real projects, Zhuang Xudong is outsourced, and, with the deepening of the research, on the one hand, the difficulty of the research itself has increased, and the cost has also risen sharply, for example, a DNA imaging will cost tens of millions of yuan in commission fees, and the number of people who come out will have to rent supercomputing, use millions, we have almost never stopped, or the Galaxy Supercomputing Center has given a preferential price, Otherwise, this part alone will be hundreds of millions a month. ”

Fang Shi smiled bitterly and nodded, he really didn't understand this, but it sounded very reasonable, but he didn't know what Lu Xudong's research was progressing so far, and he actually wanted to do molecular-level imaging, it seemed that he had to take the time to care about the research institute, and he couldn't think that the elixir could be used well.

Chen Xiaohui looked at Fang Shi and continued: "On the other hand, the width of research is also increasing, just for the application product projects invested by Jinlin, there are now seven major projects and dozens of small projects, which all cost money. ”

"Wait, shouldn't this money be invested by Jinlin?"

Chen Xiaohui glanced at Xia Yuxin, who interjected and asked: "Senior sister, of course Jinlin Investment is out, but we are now counting expenses, not income, and I didn't say that the institute has no income." ”

Xia Yuxin pursed her lips and no longer dwelled on this issue, Chen Xiaohui raised her chin proudly, turned to Fang Shi and said: "I have not given you any advice on the financial issues of the Institute of Biology, I just think that the financial situation of the Institute is healthy, although the investment is large, but the future income will naturally not be low, it is a very valuable investment." ”

"But it's not easy to support this big investor, can you let them screen the projects, and stop or postpone unnecessary projects."

Fang Shi didn't feel anything wrong after listening to Chen Xiaohui's explanation, but Xia Yuxin, who felt sorry for her man, still had an opinion, Chen Xiaohui said it easily, she also knew that the investment in the Institute of Biology was very valuable, but she felt distressed when she saw her man worrying about money.

Xia Yuyao also looked at Chen Xiaohui with some feelings, Chen Xiaohui was stunned for a moment, then understood the thoughts of these two women, pondered for a while, sighed and said, "The gap is here." ”

Fang Shi looked at Chen Xiaohui in amazement: "What gap?" ”

Chen Xiaohui shook her head: "Well, it's nothing, some unrelated things, as for the senior sister's request, I will discuss it with Lu Xudong." ”

Fang Shi looked at Chen Xiaohui and saw that she didn't intend to explain, so he had to shake off the question: "Wait, you don't need to discuss with Lu Xudong, I will go and talk to him, but it's not for him to shrink the project, on the contrary, I think the value of this institute is very high, we should increase investment in the institute, it's really not good, we can borrow money from others, I think many people are very happy to help us." ”

Xia Yuxin sighed silently, since her man said so, she has no reason not to support it, but her own project, in fact, she can change the operation method, simply find a few more investors, and build a factory in the form of slowly redeeming equity with future profits, so that the limited funds should be given priority to the research institute.

Fang Shi stretched out his hand and pressed Xia Yuxin's hand on his lap, and said with a smile: "Actually, making money is not as difficult as I said, I just complained casually, if you really want to, there are a lot of things to make money, we can change the previous projects of exchanging materials and materials into monetary settlement, those people are still unhappy and crazy." ”

Chen Xiaohui smiled: "That's okay, but that's a last resort, after all, for us, materials and materials are more valuable, and in the future, we will have more and more disciples, and these materials should be stockpiled as soon as possible, oh, speaking of which, what about you saying that you want to plant medicinal herbs and wood for magic weapons in the mountains?" ”

"This is already underway, in fact, many of these things we grow are improved by Lu Xudong, and now we know the value of the Biological Research Institute."

The three girls reacted differently to this, Chen Xiaohui rolled her eyes, Xia Yuxin pursed her lips, only Xia Yuyao nodded seriously, which made Fang Shi a little frustrated, and at the same time, expressed great satisfaction with Xia Yuyao's attitude.

"Fangshi, there's one more thing"

Chen Xiaohui's expression was a little hesitant, it seemed that she was not ready to say this matter now, but she just happened to talk about it today, and she planned to bring it up by the way to discuss it.

"Well, you say."

Fang Shi replied encouragingly.

"That's right, I think our rules should be changed, I mean financial."

"Oh, so what do you think should be changed?"

Fang Shi asked with interest, Fang Shi's attitude gave Chen Xiaohui great encouragement, she bit her lip and said: "I think our Qingcheng Mountain should establish a financial approval system, that is, heavy projects must be audited financially, now Qingcheng Mountain's family business is getting bigger and bigger, the financial aspect must be fully balanced and considered, and the project must not be decided on the basis of patting the head."

Fang Shi's face turned stern when he listened, Chen Xiaohui This is asking for power, originally this power was completely in the hands of the head, and the financial aspect only had the right to review income and expenditure, but now Chen Xiaohui wants to extend the power of the financial department to decision-making, and this purpose Fang Shi is easy to see.

Fang Shi hesitated, was Chen Xiaohui's idea purely thinking about the future of Qingcheng Mountain, or did she herself want more power? Or both. (To be continued......)
