Butterfly Clothing Factory was merely a local enterprise in an eighteenth-tier county town. It might have a history, but its actual assets, to this day, probably didn't exceed two million.
This figure included the land. If we were to consider only liquid capital, it wouldn't even reach five hundred thousand.
But everyone knew the importance of land. Unless one was pushed to the brink, who would dare to gamble with land?
Therefore, the only liquid cash Li Ya could currently present was around fifty thousand.
Using this fifty thousand for gambling and advertising, with the slightest misstep, could lead to a complete loss, pushing the clothing factory, which had finally shown signs of life, into utter despair.
Would Li Ya have such courage, to take such a risk?
As Qin Chuan’s sharp questions fell, the room became so silent that a pin drop could be heard, leaving only Li Ya’s face shifting between shades of joy and sorrow.
"So, according to you, my plan won't work?"
After an unknown period, Li Ya finally spoke, her voice hoarse.
Qin Chuan could hear her reluctance. Clearly, Li Ya was genuinely invested in developing the clothing factory.
"It's not that it won't work, but the risk is immense, and no one can predict the final outcome!"
Qin Chuan said, "Of course, I'm only analyzing this from an outsider's perspective. After all, the money is yours, the factory is yours, and you're the boss. The decision rests entirely with you."
"If you're willing to take the risk, then stake everything on it. Success would be great, but failure wouldn't matter much. We're still young, after all, with the chance to rise again!"
Li Ya fell silent once more. Her expression was complex, clearly indicating she was caught in unprecedented internal turmoil.
It was like standing at a strange crossroads, with no one knowing which path would lead to a more brilliant life.
After all, no one wanted to lose everything; everyone wished to achieve great success!
"Qin Chuan, if it were you, what would you choose?"
Finally, Li Ya asked in a low voice, suddenly posing the question.
Qin Chuan looked up, surprised. "You're asking me? You're the boss..."
"Enough, don't use the word 'boss' to dismiss this!"
Li Ya actually revealed a hint of feminine playfulness, giving Qin Chuan a light tap on the shoulder. "Others may not know, but you know how much 'substance' there is to my being the boss. You're the one who truly understands business!"
"Otherwise, why do you think I dragged you here late at night to discuss this? It's because I know you're far more capable than I am!"
Qin Chuan couldn't help but smile at her words.
Li Ya might not be the best businesswoman, but her sharp eyes were incredibly perceptive. Moreover, she was willing to humble herself and actively seek solutions.
This was somewhat like an ancient emperor who, despite lacking personal ability, could keenly discern the talents of his subordinates and utilize them effectively.
Throughout history, individuals possessing this quality invariably achieved great things.
Qin Chuan felt a bit wronged. He was the protagonist, wasn't he? How could the author write him into a position where he was working for someone else? Wasn't it agreed that as a reborn individual, he wouldn't be working for anyone in this life!
"Sis, I'm not saying your plan is entirely unworkable, but the risk is extremely high. The returns and risks are directly proportional."
"If this were a large corporation with strong backing and resources, it could definitely be implemented. But for a small enterprise like ours, the risk is too great!"
"This is practically gambling! It's a gambler's mentality!"
Qin Chuan delivered the final judgment on Li Ya's plan.
"I know, but I'm just anxious, wanting to develop the clothing factory quickly..."
Li Ya looked a little embarrassed, a blush appearing on her fair face. She indeed harbored a gambler's mentality, hoping for a chance to transform from a bicycle to a motorcycle.
"Actually, we don't need to be so rushed. The development of an enterprise isn't something that can be accomplished overnight; it requires steady progress step by step!"
Qin Chuan smiled and shook his head. This mature older woman still lacked the tempering of life's hardships. After experiencing more difficulties, she would understand how terrifying the side effects of gambling could be!
It absolutely must be avoided!
"Qin Chuan, have you already made a plan for the development of my clothing factory?"
Li Ya noticed Qin Chuan's nonchalant demeanor and her heart stirred. She then said, "Wait for me here, I'll show you something good!"
And with that, she ran upstairs.
Less than two minutes later, Li Ya returned, holding a file bag, which she then slapped onto the table in front of Qin Chuan.
"What is this?"
"You'll know once you open it!"
A hint of a smile flickered in Li Ya's eyes. Qin Chuan, in confusion, opened the file bag. Inside was a share transfer agreement, and remarkably, his name was listed as the recipient.
"Sis, this is?"
Qin Chuan finally showed a look of surprise, quickly looking up and meeting Li Ya's gaze directly.
Li Ya smiled brilliantly, her large eyes blinking. "It's shares I'm giving you. It's clearly written here!"
"No, I had no idea about this beforehand!"
Qin Chuan corrected her.
"If you knew, it wouldn't be a surprise, nor would it be something good!"
Li Ya smiled like a flower, then adopted a serious expression. "Qin Chuan, don't think it's too little. The shares I hold are forty percent, and ten percent is the maximum I can part with!"
"I don't mean it that way, I mean..."
Qin Chuan said anxiously.
Li Ya, however, directly held up her hand to stop him. "I know what you're going to say, but I believe you have no reason to refuse!"
"First, you're in dire need of money right now. With these ten percent shares, as long as Butterfly Clothing Factory exists, you'll receive a steady stream of dividends."
"Second, even if Butterfly Clothing Factory goes bankrupt one day, you'll still receive a considerable sum! This is my compensation for your help so far. I believe shares are more thorough and tangible than repeated monetary transactions!"
"And it will deepen our relationship beyond purely financial transactions... Don't you think so?"
Qin Chuan somehow felt Li Ya was alluding to something more, but he had no proof.
Just then, Li Ya continued, "Sis knows her own limitations. Developing the factory alone would be fraught with difficulties!"
"Therefore, I'll undoubtedly need to bother you again in the future for your advice and strategies!"
"Qin Chuan, can you help Sis this time?"
Li Ya's final tone was almost pleading, her eyes filled with a crystalline sparkle as she clasped Qin Chuan's hands tightly.
The man before her was the only one she could rely on now!
Looking at the beautiful, mature woman before him, and hearing her sincere and earnest tone, Qin Chuan knew he was likely trapped.
This woman had him cornered!
And it seemed he had no reason to refuse!
