Chapter 2 Potential Funding Crisis
A month ago.
After Xiao Tian escaped safely, according to the agreement with Bai Mei, he went to the United Kingdom to meet their mother and daughter and visit the scenery of Europe together. Seeing Xiao Tian, Bai Mei finally put her mind at ease, and a happy smile appeared on her face. And Luo Wanzhen, who doesn't know the hidden secret, naturally has no worries, and happily plays in Europe.
One stay in Europe is more than a month.
It wasn't until the New Year was approaching that Luo Wanzhen proposed to return to China for the New Year, that Xiao Tian and Bai Mei were in a hurry.
Return?
Do you dare to go back now?
All of Xiao Tian's information is recorded in the state, including his girlfriend Bai Mei.
This time, Xiao Tian fled from Huaxia, and it was impossible to make some people depressed. At this time, Luo Wanzhen returned to China, and if the people of the country used her to threaten her, the consequences were unpredictable.
When the time comes, will Xiao Tian be obedient? Or ignore Luo Wanzhen's life and death and turn a blind eye?
Choose one or the other.
No matter which one he chooses, Xiao Tian will not be able to go well.
Therefore, before the incident happened, Xiao Tian discussed with Bai Mei and decided to tell Luo Wanzhen the truth of the matter.
"Auntie, in fact, this trip abroad is also a last resort, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to return to China now." Xiao Tian held Bai Mei's head and pinched it gently, signaling her to relax, everything was with him.
"Forced to do so? Xiaotian, where do you start? Luo Wanzhen was puzzled.
"Auntie should know that the subsidiary was investigated for tax evasion a few days ago! In fact, it was a conspiracy ......" Xiao Tian went through the matter in detail, and the reasons for it came out one by one, of course, what should be concealed should be covered up, and Xiao Tian did not dare to reveal a word about his own smuggling and selling of arms.
"Oh, Mom~~ That Liu Chang is really not a good thing, there are dozens of girls who have been abused by him, I heard that last year he raped the freshman school flower, causing the person to jump off the building and die. There is also ......" Bai Mei coquettishly, pinching her fingers to list Liu Chang's crimes, proving that what she did was right and won the hearts of the people.
"Okay, then you can't ...... other people's things" Luo Wanzhen didn't say the following words. Look at it, the trouble you broke into caused by yourself, and Xiaotian's company was suppressed......"
"Alright, Mom. It's also good abroad. To be on the safe side, let's live abroad. Bai Mei suggested softly, taking advantage of the gap, not forgetting Bai Xiaotian's glance. God is pitiful, this time, Bai Mei came out of the top tank.
Luo Wanzhen thought that her daughter had abolished the only son of a high-ranking official, causing the other party to retaliate and suppress Xiao Tian, but the truth is obviously not that simple.
"Well, let's stay in London for the time being."
The matter has come to this point, Luo Wanzhen also knows the severity, returning to China at this time is tantamount to throwing herself into a net, affecting the children.
Convincing Luo Wanzhen to settle in London, Xiao Tian arranged for their mother and daughter to help out at the European branch of Galaxy Communication Technology, while Xiao Tian secretly went to the Golden Triangle alone.
***************************************************
"Out of money?"
Xiao Tian asked again in a daze.
"That's right. There are only less than 50,000 US dollars left in the entire account, and if the boss doesn't pay for it, the base will drink the northwest wind tomorrow! ”
Silver Fox, who manages the financial power of the entire base, is not in a very good mood. It's very cool to manage money, but being a financial officer without money is undoubtedly a torment.
"Huh? Is it so exaggerated? How much does it cost to base in a day? Xiao Tian felt that the silver fox was exaggerating.
"The normal maintenance cost is $5 million, the basic maintenance cost is about $1.5 million, and if it's just for survival base maintenance, it only costs $500,000 a day. Please note that this is only the cost of maintenance of the military garrison. The cost of other living and entertainment areas, production areas and residential areas is not counted. Silver Fox felt more and more that his boss was too much, and he had to explain the various expenses of the base in detail for him.
"You're saying that the base doesn't do anything, and it costs so much money every day?" Xiao Tian somewhat understood, emotionally spending billions of dollars to build the base, not everything, and he had to continue to burn money.
"Hmm. Base operation and maintenance, of course, costs money! The silver fox said as a matter of course.
"I'm xxooxx......." Xiao Tian, who didn't care about his image, casually burst out with dirty words. Holy, isn't this a huge money-burning machine? ”
A rough estimate shows that the annual maintenance cost of the base is actually billions of dollars! It's a bottomless pit, and I can't fill it.
Billions of dollars.
What does this mean?
The dark star can't make ends meet, and with its own ability, it can't feed the entire base.
At that time, Xiao Tian himself was also blamed, subjective assumptions, and hot-headedness, he built such a huge base, and he didn't think about the maintenance cost of the base at all.
Silver Fox restrained his smile and nodded solemnly. "yes, a money-burning machine."
"No wonder the military spending of the United States is close to $1 trillion a year, and with so many overseas bases, money is not flowing out of the country in an uproar." Xiao Tian muttered softly.
"Boss, they are because the war costs account for the lion's share, and the base maintenance costs, what's it?" Silver Fox heard Xiao Tian's analysis and couldn't help but remind.
Now it seems that the base is functioning normally, and the annual profit from arms sales must reach at least $3 billion to break even.
Until then, dark stars had been in the red. This is a big test for Xiao Tian. Now, he really regrets a little bit why he built such a large base at that time.
"Wait a minute, I'll transfer all the money from the Swiss bank into the base account, about two billion dollars. That's all there is to it, when you run out, you guys really go drink the Northwest Wind! Xiao Tian didn't care about the statement, took out all his savings, so far, the pot of gold earned by Xiao Tian Star Domain Network has bottomed out in just one year. Sometimes, Xiao Tian couldn't believe that he used to spend only a few thousand yuan a year. Who would have thought that he would have the opportunity to squander tens of billions of dollars a year? Don't even dare to dream of it!
"Two billion dollars, enough, enough!"
Hearing that there was money, the silver fox's eyes flashed, and he smiled rarely, feeling that Xiao Tian was much more pleasing to the eye. "Two billion dollars, enough to maintain the operation of the base for more than a year."
"Try to save as much as you don't need." Xiao Tian shook his head and smiled bitterly, within a few days of being rich, he became a poor ghost again. It seems that it is time for Galaxy to accelerate its plans. Although the arms are profitable, the market cake is so big, while civilian goods are varied, in high demand, and profitable.
Use Galaxy to make money and support your own plans.
"Boss, in fact, the maintenance cost of our dark star base is very low compared to the country's military base. Extravagance and waste, embezzlement and personal embezzlement are not a thing. It is really difficult to save again, otherwise it will affect the operation of the base. After hesitating for a moment, the silver fox said in embarrassment. On the contrary, the military production area can be improved, and the boss can completely mine iron ore and smelt it himself to support the production of the factory. In this way, at least half of the cost of raw material procurement will be saved, and the cost of weapon production will be greatly reduced. ”
"Yes, I understand this. Someone has already been sent to proceed. ”
"However, as an arms smuggling organization, opening up the arms market is the king!" As soon as the conversation changed, Xiao Tian said slowly.
"Open up the arms market?"
When the people in the conference room heard the sound, their eyes lit up, then dimmed again, and a few people lowered their heads. Are arms so easy to sell? Most of the large-scale arms deals are state-to-state transactions, and the transactions involve complex political, diplomatic, and other factors. It is inconceivable that an individual organization, especially an arms smuggling organization that has not seen the light of sight, wants to sell arms to a particular country.
A small share of arms transactions can be received, but that small profit, compared to the cost of the base, is a drop in the bucket and does not help.
"Boss, I want to take a few people to Africa to try it, where there is a lot of war, and I believe this trip will definitely be fruitful." Seeing that everyone was not optimistic, the third son stood up firmly and asked for help. At this time, he had to step up.
"Africa and the Middle East have to be sent to someone." Xiao Tian's face was slightly gloomy, and the expressions of everyone present fell in his eyes, and he retreated when he encountered difficulties, and secretly sighed and shook his head.
Everyone didn't know that Xiao Tian's moment would determine the future fate of many people here. Those few people who behaved badly were completely driven into the abyss.
"Hehe, don't be presumptuous. In terms of quality and performance, the arms of our dark star are definitely the top in the world. It's just that the arms deal of the country involves a wide range of areas, but we may not be without opportunities, it depends on how you grasp it. Also, large arms deals, not necessarily countries, isn't there a lot of free organizations and rebels in Africa and the Middle East, I think, they will favor our arms even more! ”
Seeing that the atmosphere in the conference room was a little dignified, the silver fox broke the silence with a smile and analyzed the opportunities.
"Alright, adjourn!"
Xiao Tian moved his numb hands and feet and returned to his residence.
"Hey, money, money, money...... Where am I going to get so much money? And then there's Africa...... How much does it cost? "Xiao Tian is going crazy. I thought to myself, I'll have to contact Aoki and get something good to sell.
Quick money, plane trading is undoubtedly the first choice of plane trading profits, Xiao Tian is deeply aware of it.
Although Xiao Tian sent his third son to open up the arms market, it was not something that could be completed in a day or two. As for Galaxy Group Company, Xiao Tian did not think about making a sum of money from Galaxy Group, but after secretly weighing the pros and cons, Xiao Tian shook his head and gave up.
In any case, the Galaxy Group, which injected 100 million yuan, was established for too short, only more than half a year, even if the Starlight1 mobile phone is sold again, the profit is limited, and until now, the total assets of the group will not exceed 2 billion US dollars. All in all, Galaxy has limited financial resources and insufficient foundation. Moreover, Galaxy is currently planning to invest in automobiles and energy minerals, which require money. I'm afraid that the company's financial resources will be difficult to carry out two projects at the same time, so the only way to borrow from the bank is to borrow money. How can you have spare money to support the Dark Star Base?
It is not surprising that Xiao Tian himself paved the stall too big, and the capital turnover was difficult.
The current Xiao Tian only inputs but has no output. When the arms business opens up, it will probably be a different story.
For today's plan, Xiao Tian can only grit his teeth and persevere, open up new channels to make money, and maintain the normal operation of the dark star.
Thinking of the huge profits of plane trading, Xiao Tian smiled proudly. The depression in my heart was swept away.
"yes, I have a plane trader, what are you worried about?"
