Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: Starting with a debt of 200 billion

Thump thump thump!

"President Li, I have a few investment proposals here for you to review."

In a daze, Li Chen was woken up by a pleasant voice.

He painstakingly lifted his head, which felt as heavy as a thousand jin, and patted it.

"Drinking can actually cause hallucinations, that's incredible."

He got up, but was startled!

"Where am I... in?"

Looking at the unfamiliar room in front of him, he was a bit at a loss.

The next second, countless memory fragments began to flood into his mind.

And as the memories poured in.

Li Chen's expression also became increasingly complex.

The original owner of this body had just suddenly died from excessive drinking.

After his sudden death, the current Li Chen transmigrated over.

Subsequently, he also learned that the original owner of this body was a complete playboy!

Half a year ago, his parents suddenly passed away.

According to the will, he was to inherit the company.

But how could someone who only knew how to eat, drink, and play all day know how to run a company?

In just half a year, he had made all sorts of outrageous moves.

He turned the originally thriving company into a money-eating beast with a debt of two hundred billion!

Even with a few dedicated veterans holding the company together, bankruptcy was just around the corner!

After reading these memories, Li Chen rubbed his temples: "Wouldn't it have been better for this kid to just be a hands-off boss? Why did he have to pull all these stunts?"

"Ding! God-level Return Rate System has been successfully bound!"

When he heard this voice, the slightly helpless Li Chen immediately perked up!

As a transmigrator, he was an old bookworm in his previous life!

Naturally, he knew what binding a system meant.

He just didn't expect that one day he would also be able to bind a system!

After a few minutes, Li Chen finally figured out the use of this God-level Return Rate.

The God-level Return Rate System, as the name suggests, can help him see the investment return rate of everything, as well as the investment risk and reasons!

Originally, seeing the heavily indebted company, Li Chen had no hope.

But with the system, it would only take a little time to turn the company's losses into profits!

"Thump thump thump!"

Just as Li Chen was excited, the office door was knocked on again.

"Come in!"

The door was pushed open by a girl wearing a uniform and black-rimmed glasses.

Her name was Xuan Ke, and she was Li Chen's secretary.

A top student from a leading finance university in Dragon Country, she was invited to join with an annual salary of one million plus one percent of the company's shares.

Originally, Xuan Ke thought she could put her skills to good use, but she found that she didn't have to do anything except get paid to slack off.

"President Li, these are some projects we've recently found that can help the company get through this difficult time. Please take a look."

The current Li Chen only had the nominal title of Chairman and no real power at all.

Showing them to him was just a formality.

"Okay, thanks for your hard work."

After speaking, Li Chen casually picked up a document and began to read it in a proper manner.

Meanwhile, Xuan Ke on the side was a bit shocked.

What was wrong with President Li today? He was actually reading documents. Normally, he wouldn't even spare them a glance!

And could he even understand them?

There were so many technical terms in there that not to mention ordinary people, even industry peers would take a long time to understand.

Could it be... that President Li was planning to use this to pass the time?

Unfortunately, Li Chen was not using reading documents to pass the time.

Instead, he was considering whether these projects were worth investing in.

Because he had the system!

When he picked up the first document, the system's prompt appeared before his eyes.

[Dragon Ascent Technology Co., Ltd.]

Investment Return: Loss!

Reason: The company claims to be developing electric vehicle battery products, but is actually defrauding investments and subsidies. It will be exposed in a month, at which point the Chairman will flee, and investors will lose everything...

[Dragon Country Large Can Tea]

Investment Return: Loss!

Reason: In one week, the original production area of Large Can Tea will suffer a once-in-a-century Storm, uprooting 89% of the tea trees. From then on, Dragon Country Large Can Tea will never recover and will completely collapse in half a year!

He continuously read several documents, all of which were projects resulting in heavy losses.

He was a bit helpless, but Li Chen, having lived another life, was already used to it.

After all, he was in the investment field in his previous life.

Those with ability don't lack investment, and those without ability only know how to make PPTs to deceive a group of clueless newcomers and fleece them.

It was rare to encounter companies that genuinely needed funds for development.

He sighed.

Li Chen began to quickly flip through the remaining investment documents.

Li Chen finished reading more than twenty documents in less than ten minutes.

This behavior left Xuan Ke stunned again.

"Huh? Finished reading in ten minutes?!"

"President Li, weren't you going to read documents to pass the time? Have you changed your mind again?"

"Maybe President Li got a headache from reading and doesn't want to continue."

"Yeah! That must be it!"

While Xuan Ke was talking to herself, Li Chen had put the documents he finished reading aside.

These documents were all about heavy losses and were of no use in turning the company's losses into profits.

Looking at the last few documents, Li Chen decided to take another look, just in case.

This flip almost made Li Chen jump up with excitement!

[Wang Gold Mine]

Investment Return: 1000%

Reason: In a month, Wang Mine will dig up a huge gold mine. The total length of the gold vein is twenty kilometers, covering an area of three hundred square kilometers, with a gold content of 3.6 grams/ton!

A gold content of 3.6 grams/ton, according to this ratio, the gold content of Wang Gold Mine will reach a terrifying three hundred and fifty tons!

What kind of concept is this?

The largest gold mine in Dragon Country is called the Zijinshan Gold Mine, and its gold content is only 2.1 grams/ton, which translates to a maximum of two hundred tons!

But seeing the investment amount of three hundred million made Li Chen calm down quite a bit.

At the same time, Li Chen also saw the word 'Rejected' signed by the veterans.

After all, investing three hundred million to dig a small, unknown gold mine that was about to go bankrupt.

Even an idiot would know this was definitely a losing business!

But Li Chen knew that whether the company could turn around depended entirely on this gold mine!

"Although the investment amount is a bit high, it's finally a good start."

Continuing to flip through, he found several other good investment projects that were very much in line with the company's current needs.

He put these documents aside and began to write reports specifically for them.

"Oh, what is President Li doing now?"

"Tired of reading, preparing to write something to pass the time?"

Now Xuan Ke understood Li Chen less and less.

Half an hour later, after finishing all the reports.

"Xuan Ke, please give these documents back to Master Li and the others and ask them to take another look."

"Also, tell them there will be a meeting in ten minutes!"

"Ah!"

"Is there a problem?"

"No... No, I'll go do it now."

After speaking, Xuan Ke left the office holding those documents.

"The reports are finally finished. Now I need to figure out how to convince Master Li and the others."

Ten minutes later, Li Chen arrived at the conference room.

Looking at everyone's gazes, he felt no tension.

"Xiao Chen, the reports you wrote today are good, they are commendable."

The person speaking was Li Muting.

He was one of the veterans from when the company was first founded, and also the current backbone of the company.

He had always shown great care for the previous Li Chen.

"Thank you, Master Li, for your praise."

"Hmph! It's just writing a few reports, what are you so proud of?"

"Besides, do you think these projects you've taken a fancy to will help the company?"
