Chapter 598 - So Rich!
There was a basic fund for the project. It was in the bank card that Director Liu had given him. If he wanted to spend money now, he had to transfer it from Xue Xi’s account to the project card number and calculate it later.
Zheng Zhi did a rough calculation. If the equipment were all high-end, it would cost at least 40 to 50 million.
This sum of money could already be considered as liquid funds in a large company in a normal company. How could a student take it out?
After Zheng Zhi said this, Yu Da and the rest also came over.
Yu Da frowned and stared at Zheng Zhi. Thinking that this person was a judge, he did not dare to speak much, but he’d also been dissatisfied with him for a long time.
This person was efficient. It could be said that if it were not for him, he would not have been so orderly this afternoon.
But wasn’t his mouth too vicious?
Yu Da said, “Sister Xi, I have a few million here.”
Bottle and the rest also said, “Sister Xi, I have money here too!”
Only Fang Fang was silent. “I’ve already given my money to the orphanage. When I earn more money in the future, I’ll give it to you.”
Xue Xi: “…”
Ever since Xue Xi saved them from the special department, these five people had been loyal to her and even tried to give her money.
Xue Xi said calmly, “There’s really no need. I have money.”
Li Zixia and Xie Yingying, who knew the truth, twitched their lips. They took a step forward and said, “Don’t worry. Sister Xi is really rich!”
Zheng Zhi could not help but say, “No matter how rich she is, can she have 40 to 50 million?”
“Forty to fifty million!” Yu Da exclaimed. “That much?”
He originally thought that buying the equipment would only cost a few million…
Zheng Zhi sneered. “What else do you think? Did you see that? We can borrow this instrument for a while. It’s just that it’s not convenient to use it, but everyone can arrange for a time and lend it to us for a week. If we quickly use it, we can save the two million yuan purchase fee, yet you still insist on buying it. You really don’t know how expensive equipment is!”
Yu Da and the rest could not help but gulp.
Beside him, Li Xuekai said, “Research is different from work.”
Zheng Zhi looked at him. “Why is it different?”
Li Xuekai sighed. “There is a limit to time spent on work, but scientific research is not like that. If the first round of testing is not accurate, then we have to prepare for the second round. No one can predict what accidents will happen during the scientific research process. Therefore, it’s best to buy the instrument as much as it’s possible. Otherwise, it will indeed be inconvenient to use it in the future.”
He Gao also said, “Yes, it’s not much money. Buy it.”
Zheng Zhi was infuriated by their wealth. The special department’s salary was indeed high, but he had always been strict and inflexible. He did not participate in business matters.
For example, Jing Fei, Lu Chao, and the rest would leave their money to Qian Xin to manage. Hence, everyone was very rich, but he was different.
They had houses and cars in the capital. People who valued work more than anything else would never manage money, so he did not have much of it.
He disliked these few people even more. “It’s just an early-stage instrument now and we have to buy it. There are even more in the later stages. What should we do?”
Xue Xi: “…Continue buying.”
Zheng Zhi was stunned. “Do you know how much it costs?”
Li Zixia and Xie Yingying could not take it anymore. “Hey, Zheng Zhi, Sister Xi is the overall in-charge of the research project. If she wants to buy it, just buy it. Why are you wasting time here? Sister Xi’s money is definitely enough!”
Zheng Zhi: “?”
He looked at the two of them in disbelief. “You guarantee it’s enough? Who can guarantee that? After all the scientific research funding needed in the future, I don’t think the total cost will be less than 300-400 million! This is only a rough estimate. Do you know what 300-400 million is? Do you know…”
Li Zixia: “…Sorry to interrupt you.”
Zheng Zhi looked at her.
Li Zixia raised her chin proudly. “My Sister Xi has 900 million.”
Zheng Zhi: “?”
He felt that he must have heard wrongly, or did he hear wrongly?
Nine hundred million?
Impossible!
Impossible!
Xie Yingying added, “That’s right. Sister Xi only has 900 million. Although it’s not much, Sister Xi can still fork out three to four hundred million yuan if you want to use it. Do you understand? So, cut the crap. Just listen to whatever Sister Xi says, alright?”
Zheng Zhi: “!!!!”
He looked down at the bank card in his hand.
He knew that Jing Fei and Lu Chao had tens of millions in their bank cards, but he also had a few million, so he did not take it seriously.
But 900 million… was in this small card?
He was dumbstruck and tongue-tied!
Beside him, the rest were also stunned when they heard how much money was in Xue Xi’s bank card.
Although the Gao family in Bin City definitely had so much money, Gao Yanchen had never seen so much money before. Usually, he would only use a few million yuan at most. When it came to using tens of millions, that was relatively rare.
Nine hundred million?
Water could not help but gulp and say hesitantly, “Xi, Sister Xi, I remember that you said on the production set of ‘The Brainiac is Here’ that you lack money?”
Xue Xi nodded. “Yes.”
Everyone: “…”
Nine hundred million. You’re really poor!
Bottle could not help but say, “So, is it true that you lack 200 billion?”
Xue Xi continued nodding. “Mhm. I owe others 200 billion.”
Everyone: “…”
Being able to owe 200 billion was also an ability!
Zheng Zhi was stunned when he heard this.
He had a strong opinion of Xue Xi. That person aside, he still felt that Xue Xi was like a vixen. On one hand, she made his boss spend 200 billion yuan of the God of Fortune Group’s money, and on the other hand, he specially recruited her into the special department.
These two matters made him very unhappy. He felt that his boss had changed into a fatuous ruler.
The God of Fortune Group was founded by Boss.
All these years, the God of Fortune Group had developed until its present state. Boss had always been the largest shareholder, but his family background was good, so he had never privately received money from the God of Fortune Group.
Ever since the special department was established, there had been many casualties in order to protect the country. However, the families of those people had received generous compensation. It was all given by the God of Fortune Group.
Although the God of Fortune Group was the boss’s, this was one of the reasons why the boss was convincing.
However, such a selfless boss actually spent 200 billion to buy a mountain for this woman!
Hence, Zheng Zhi had a strong opinion of Xue Xi.
However, at this moment, hearing Xue Xi’s words, she meant… that she would return the money in the future?
His resentment for Xue Xi suddenly diminished.
He clenched his jaw. While everyone suddenly became generous-minded because they had money, he splashed a bucket of cold water on them. “Then have you ever considered that this project will not succeed in the end? With the money invested now, you will not even be able to earn back 900 million in the future, let alone 200 billion! The more you invest now, the greater the losses in the future!”
