Novel Wait
Chapter 232 Fired up
Lin Yi was shocked when he saw the message; he had never paid much attention to his businesses before and was surprised that in just a few months, their revenue had reached over four hundred million.
Looking at the message, Lin Yi directly asked, "How many months of profits?"
"Five months."
"Four hundred million in five months…" Lin Yi was somewhat astonished, his voice involuntarily rising in pitch. The person on the other end was shocked and asked confusedly, "Is there a problem, Mr. Lin?"
Realizing he might have scared the other person with his words, Lin Yi couldn't help but smile, "No, no, just checking."
Lin Yi spoke indifferently and then hung up the call while the person on the other end let out a sigh after the call had ended.
Just five months and they had earned a whopping four hundred million, and all that while lying at home—it really was different for capitalists!
Now Lin Yi kept counting the figures on his phone; this sudden windfall of over four hundred million had taken him by surprise.
Lin Yi had opened the ledger sent by the manager and began to check the accounts, but the dense figures made no sense to him, so he stopped looking at them.
At that moment, his phone "dinged" with a notification. Lin Yi looked down to see another message from the bank.
As soon as Lin Yi looked down, he couldn't help but curse, "Fuck!"
He kept counting, trying to make sure he wasn't mistaken, but after going over it three or four times, the answer remained the same.
It was the revenue from Jinguo Hotel, a staggering thirty-seven billion. Seeing this figure, Lin Yi felt his eyes go blurry.
"Impossible, it's so exaggerated! How can there be so much money after only five or six months?"
Although the Jinguo Hotel had many chain hotels with little difference—just a bit more upscale—Lin Yi had never anticipated such terrifying profit margins.
He picked up his phone and immediately called Jinguo Hotel's manager Song Jinhui, who, upon answering, already knew what Lin Yi wanted to ask. Song Jinhui's tone was somewhat apologetic.
"I'm so sorry for disturbing you this early, Mr. Lin. I've already had accounting send all of the hotel's profits from the past five months. The total revenue for all our chain hotels that you'll receive in your account amounts to thirty-seven billion, five hundred and eighty-four million, six thousand, two hundred and eighty-eight yuan."
As Lin Yi heard this long string of numbers, his head buzzed. Without the help of his system, he probably wouldn't have been able to earn so much money even if he had started from the Stone Age.
So at this point, Lin Yi was still in a state of astonishment. He didn't speak, but Song Jinhui on the other end was startled by Lin Yi's reaction and quickly said, "I'm truly sorry, Mr. Lin. The profits over the past five months have been nearly a billion less than in the first half of the year. I am really sorry for this loss; it's mainly due to my inadequate management…"
Seeing Song Jinhui full of apologies, Lin Yi finally snapped out of his astonishment and quickly replied, "No problem, no problem! It's just a billion, I was just confirming. Okay, bye!"
Lin Yi said and directly hung up the phone.
Anyway, with over thirty-seven billion, he didn't care about that one billion anymore. Meanwhile, Song Jinhui on the other end stood there stunned, holding his phone.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
To the big boss, a billion more or less was of no importance at all—this was incredible!
He had worked hard for many years to reach the position of manager, and earning enough in a year to buy a house already made him an enviable rich man in Xiangcheng.
But Lin Yi? He didn't even care about a billion. The contrast was simply speechless.
Lin Yi looked at the balance on his phone with a joyful smile; he had nothing to worry about anymore. The money had already come through, so he didn't need to think about funding issues for the time being.
Yet soon his phone received many alerts of deposits. It seemed today was the day for receiving transfers: the mall in Wenqu Building had made three billion, the previous security company had made five billion.
There were also quite generous rents from some real estate investments. Lin Yi looked at the messages on his phone, astonished, nearly speechless; he made a rough tally and found an additional fifty-five billion had come in!
Seeing this long string of numbers, Lin Yi felt his head buzzing.
It was indeed shocking.
He had originally planned to sell ten percent of the shares of Supreme Grade Supermarket to convert into cash, but now it seemed there was no need.
Lin Yi took out the black Golden Dragon card from his pocket and placed it on Han Xuewei's desk
His wife was willing to support his career, and he was naturally moved by this, but now that he had the money, why use his wife's?
Looking at the black Golden Dragon card, Lin Yi felt a bit guilty. He hadn't really given Han Xuewei much, and in such tight circumstances, she had even given him money. Thinking of this, Lin Yi immediately transferred five billion yuan to Han Xuewei's black Golden Dragon card and sent twenty million to each of their parents.
Lin Yi went downstairs, where Han Xuewei and Han's mother were talking. Han's mother looked at the message she had received on her phone and furrowed her brows, approaching Lin Yi.
"Oh, Lin Yi, Xue Mei just told me you're planning to set up a pharmaceutical factory and need a significant investment. I was going to ask her father to help you out with the capital turnover, but why have you transferred money to us? You shouldn't be transferring money to us now; you have to keep the capital!"
Hearing this, Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh and said, "You don't have to worry about that anymore. The money from the investments I made before has all been recovered. Today is the settlement day, and there's more than enough funds under my control to invest in the pharmaceutical factory, so there's no need for further complications."
Lin Yi said casually, but Han Xuewei frowned, stepped closer to Lin Yi, and tugged at his sleeve
"Really? Last night, you were still discussing financing with me. How has it been resolved into tens of billions so quickly? Can it be that easy to gather? Honey, don't tell me your investments had a 'mana' boost worth tens of billions!"
Han Xuewei appeared shocked; she kept her voice down to avoid alarming Han's mother.
But Lin Yi just laughed in response, leaning in to Han Xuewei and said, "Wife, you don't have to worry about this. The revenue from Wenqu Building and that new restaurant at Jinguo Hotel, where we dined before, the money earned from those many chain hotels is already quite substantial."
