From Wage Slave to Tycoon novel Chapter 194

Chapter 194: Chapter 140: 900 Million in Start-up Capital

Pei Rang glanced at the documents in his hands before looking up to venture, "Boss, we’re forecasting a need for 100 million. The companies we’ve invested in will also start generating a steady stream of income next year, and we expect to be completely self-sufficient by May or June!"

Su Chen nodded slightly, his fingers tapping a steady rhythm on the armrest of his chair. The room fell silent for a moment.

Pei Rang immediately thought he had asked for too much. ’After all, the company hasn’t generated any real revenue since its founding. Apart from the significant profits made in the stock market, the vast majority of its capital has been funneled into investments.’

’The company has only been around for a few months, yet it’s already spent three to four hundred million yuan without seeing a single return. Any other wealthy investor would be carefully reconsidering their next move.’

’If the companies we’ve invested in fail to turn a profit next year, it would mean Yunmengze Capital’s investments were a bust, and the impact on the entire company would be immense.’

Just as Pei Rang was about to say that they could manage with less, Su Chen finally spoke.

"After the new year, the company will be launching several large and very important projects. All of Yunmengze’s investment plans for the first half of the year are to be put on hold. Our entire focus will be on these projects!"

"Also... I’ll transfer nine hundred million to the company’s financial account later. Use it as startup capital for the projects after the new year!"

Hearing Su Chen’s words, Pei Rang’s jaw dropped in astonishment. It took him a good while to recover.

"B-Boss, nine hundred million in startup capital? What kind of projects are these?!" Pei Rang asked, his curiosity piqued.

’Nine hundred million! And that’s just the startup capital! One could only imagine how massive these projects must be.’

Faced with Pei Rang’s curiosity, Su Chen pondered for a moment before saying, "I can’t tell you for now. We’ll talk about it after the new year!"

Hearing this, Pei Rang nodded, indicating he understood, and didn’t press the matter further.

’If the boss said so, he must have his reasons.’

Su Chen didn’t tell him because these projects were simply too world-shaking: nanometer-scale chips, ultra-high-end CNC machines, and water resource purification technology. Any one of these projects alone would be enough to shock the world.

’Especially the nanometer-scale chip technology. I’ve already planned it out. I’ll start with 10-nanometer research first. As for the other nodes, we can tackle them slowly later on.’

’As for researching 3-nanometer chips directly, I haven’t even considered it. With the country’s current technology, who knows how many years that would take. It’s better to start at 10-nanometer and cultivate a pool of technical talent in the process, preparing them for future advancements.’

"So, about the annual party, you can go all out now, can’t you?" Su Chen said, looking at Pei Rang with a teasing expression.

Pei Rang smiled and nodded. "I can certainly go all out, but I wonder how much of a budget the boss is giving us for the annual party!"

Su Chen was about to speak, but then he remembered Zong Xinyao coming to see him when he got back. He asked tentatively, "Didn’t Zong Xinyao mention it to you?"
