"Chairman Ye, here is how I see it. Since whatever results our expansion and development might bring remain completely uncertain, I feel it is necessary for us to implement corresponding cost-cutting measures," Liu Xi said.
"True, cost-cutting is necessary in the current macro environment, but that must be built on a foundation that doesn't waste time. Yet, looking at the contents of this financial statement, it reflects that you have wasted a portion of your time precisely on cost-cutting. If you had just let go and fully committed, I'm afraid Jianghu Hotpot's expansion schedule could have been accelerated by at least a month! Conversely, if we could open a month earlier, how many multiples of the money we saved would we be able to earn during that month? Of course, taking the possibility of failure into account, my argument above would not hold. But don't forget, if we fail, it means total collapse across the board for Jianghu Hotpot. The little bit of money saved would at best only allow the company to linger on the brink of death a little longer, and it is completely unnecessary in terms of our overall strategic development!"
Ye Chen said with a serious expression, his voice turning abruptly solemn.
