Happy times are always so short-lived.

An hour later, all the payouts were paid.

The whole company combined, there are currently a total of 62 people, compared with more than 300 people at the peak, it is indeed too much down now.

A total of 23,410 yuan was paid to 62 people, which is three months of salary arrears. The wages of workers are almost more than 100 yuan per month, and the administrative posts are about the same, and the management posts are higher, only about 200 or 300.

This level of salary is not high.

But Roy didn't say anything about giving them a salary increase, extra wages or anything like that. At the end of the day, Roy is a businessman, not a philanthropist. As long as you follow him, your salary will definitely rise, provided that you create your own value.

After the wages were paid, Roy asked the workers to return to their respective posts and stand by, and he took Misha back to the factory office, looking at the beaming workers outside, and he wondered whether to start the sugar factory.

The predicament of the sugar factory is obvious, in the face of the encirclement and suppression of large companies, in the absence of raw material sugar cane, he can not immediately lead the sugar factory to rise, after all, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

However, it is not without solutions.

Take the company to the bank for a mortgage, and use the money to do something else, to get out of the shell of the golden cicada - this is Roy's Plan A.

After all, there are many projects to make money, and there is no need to spend it on sugar production, and it is not a wise behavior to go head-to-head with those big sugar companies from outside.

Of course, it's easy to say, if you really want a loan, the bank is not a fool, you are surrounded and suppressed like that, you are about to go bankrupt, and no one can lend you money.

Therefore, Roy has prepared a plan B and a plan C, as long as one of these two plans can be implemented, it should not be a problem to borrow money from the bank.

But what I didn't expect was that the former boss of Tulip Sugar Company was more powerful and attracted the attention of those big companies, who loved talent and wanted to buy Tulip Sugar Company. What's more, the fact that people fancy the former boss has not been reported.

Then Roy took the opportunity to operate and successfully got the loan. Plans B and C were not used at all.

But these two programs are not abandoned, because they not only allow the company to borrow, but also allow the company to rise!

In fact, these two plans are also very simple.

Plan B: Find a substitute for sugar cane - sugar beets.

On Earth, sugar cane and sugar beet are generally made from raw materials.

But in this world, no one has discovered that beets can make sugar, and in Roy's memory, he has eaten beets in the Cases Empire.

This is a proper business opportunity!

But the problem now is that he is not sure whether sugar beet is grown in the United Kingdom of Stokato.

If there is no sugar beet here, and it needs to be imported from other countries and regions, then it is no different from sugar cane, and it is still easy to be stuck.

This plan B does not take effect immediately, and it is necessary to find out where the beets are.

If the United Kingdom of Stokato had sugar beets, he was confident that he would soon rise. On the contrary, if there are no beets here, then he can only keep this idea in his heart for the time being, and he will naturally not reveal this kind of news.

As for Plan C, it is a very feasible and not difficult plan, which has a great possibility to lead the company out of the predicament, but it is also limited.

Plan C: Make maltose.

Roy couldn't be more aware of the making of maltose, because when he was on Earth, he made it at home, and he was very experienced.

The method of making it is actually very simple.

Wash the wheat kernels and soak them in a wooden barrel with water, remove them after 24 hours, put them in a basket for three or four days, and chop them.

Starchy grains, such as rice, glutinous rice, corn, etc., are washed and soaked in water for 4-6 hours, drained, steamed at 100 degrees, and cooled to 40-50 degrees.

Put the starchy grain and malt together, ferment for 5-6 hours, put it in a cloth bag and seal it, and squeeze out the juice to be maltose.

Maltose and sucrose are not the same, Roy personally prefers maltose, which can be eaten as a snack and is not greasy. But sucrose is sweeter, and both have different uses, each with its own advantages.

Therefore, it is not difficult to implement Plan C. He can buy raw materials, he has technology, and he has employees...... But there are still certain risks.

After all, the raw material for making maltose is grain, especially wheat is not cheap, and the cost is much higher than that of sucrose.

If the price of maltose does not sell, it is possible to lose money.

Roy's plan was that if the bank wouldn't give him a loan, he would make a maltose sample while inquiring about beets. Then take the sample to the bank and tell them that with the new sugar production method, the possibility of a loan is much greater.

He doesn't even need a loan, as long as he makes the finished maltose product public, and then finds someone to invest, it is estimated that many people will be willing to invest.

Of course, in the end, he was lucky, and the money was successfully loaned out after plans B and C were not used.

Now Roy thinks that it is certain that he will use the money to invest in other projects, but whether the sugar factory should continue to work to make maltose is a question.

After thinking about it, Roy finally made a decision.

Other projects, he will invest. But he also has to do it when it comes to making sugar!

Grab with both hands, and be hard with both hands!

"Misha, do me a favor."

Roy suddenly turned his head to look at Cat Lady.

"Huh?"

The cat lady was looking at Roy with big eyes at this time, and she felt that when Roy was thinking seriously, there was an inexplicable temperament on her body, which attracted her and made her can't help but want to look at it. Suddenly called, he suddenly looked away a little unnaturally.

"Brother, brother, you say."

Roy didn't notice the cat lady's small movements, but said with blazing eyes:

"That's right, I want to buy some things in a few days, the amount is a bit large, and it's very important, but I don't want these things to be discovered by someone with a heart, so I need you and Bella to buy it for me together, you buy it really, Bella buys it to confuse the sight."

Maltose was too easy to make, and Roy couldn't let the technology leak out.

"No problem."

Misha nodded immediately.

"It's not complicated, it's mainly wheat and rice, and as for the kind, just buy the cheap ones."

People in this world rarely eat bread as their staple food, and they rarely eat rice, which is a non-staple food.

Because the rice produced here has a poor taste and low yield, it is far less delicious than bread made from various types of wheat.

In addition, their method is very problematic, and it is the same as making bread, taking the rice and baking it! Even though water is added, it is still easy to get pinched. Raw rice not only tastes bad, but also easily causes gastrointestinal discomfort.

So there are fewer people who eat rice.

But in any case, rice is also a kind of food, and some people still grow it and some people eat it. It is available in the market and the price is not expensive.

While Roy was explaining Misha, there was a sudden commotion outside.
