"Chairman Ye, here is my thought: since the ultimate outcome of our expansion and development remains completely uncertain, I feel it is necessary to implement corresponding cost-cutting measures," said Liu Xi.
"Yes, cost-cutting is certainly necessary in the current macro environment, but that must be built on a foundation of not wasting time. However, looking at the contents of this financial statement, it reflects that you have wasted a portion of your time precisely on pursuing those cost-cutting measures. If you had just let go and operated with untied hands, I'm afraid Jiānghú Hotpot's expansion progress could have been accelerated by at least a month! Conversely, if we could open doors a month earlier, how many multiples of the money saved could we have earned during that extra month? Of course, factoring in the possibility of failure, everything I just said becomes invalid. But let's not forget—if we fail, Jiānghú Hotpot will completely collapse across the board. The little bit of money saved would at best only allow the company to linger on on life support for a slightly longer period, which is completely unnecessary for our overall development strategy!"
Ye Chen said in a solemn, serious tone, his voice suddenly dropping.
