277: Chapter 276 Breach of Contract? Breach of Contract!

What does it mean to work hard for two months, only to return to the pre-liberation era overnight?

This is it.

Looking at the accounts in Liu Yemei's hands, Wang Shuo felt a bit heartbroken.

Taking a gentle breath, Wang Shuo returned the tablet to Liu Yemei, trying his best to calmly reveal a smile.

"Sister Liu, don't worry, the money problem will be solved soon."

Just kidding, the dignified heir to alien universe technology, how could he be troubled by mere money?

Being trapped by money at the beginning, that could be said to be because he was a newcomer and didn't know any better.

Now, having used the core for such a long time, if he still couldn't find a way to get rich, then that would just mean he was stupid!

Is the dignified alien universe heir a fool? Just kidding! How is that possible!

Even The Figure had acknowledged his intelligence!

Hmm... those restrictive conditions proposed by The Figure and so on, let's ignore them for the time being.

"But before solving it, we have to think of other ways." Wang Shuo said, rubbing his chin.

Making money is nothing more than increasing revenue and cutting expenses. Increasing revenue can't be done in a short time, at least not in these few days, so he could try cutting expenses.

Wang Shuo's gaze scanned the screen.

The payment for zero egg... this cannot be touched. Once touched, it would cause insufficient confidence among suppliers, which could lead to big problems.

The investment and maintenance funds for the zero egg production line... this also seems untouchable. This is his only source of funds currently; not only can it not be touched, but he actually needs to continue increasing investment.

The two hundred million used for stock trading... this, it can be moved, but if he moves it now, looking at the situation where the US stock market has fallen to shit, he estimates he would lose everything to his grandmother's house. Moreover, if his estimation is correct, there is a big problem behind the fluctuations in the US stock market and Artificial Intelligence stocks this time, so this cannot be moved for the time being either.

As for the procurement funds... this also cannot be moved. This is the top priority for the next step and must be implemented as soon as possible.

Personnel funds... cannot be moved. He can't let four hundred people work on empty stomachs, right?

The remaining book funds... this is even more untouchable, and Liu Yemei would not allow him to use this money.

Early on, when drafting the company's articles of association, Liu Yemei had set a risk warning line for working capital for Frontier Technology. This warning line was not static, but adjusted following the constant changes in the company's assets, personnel, and scale. As of today, the amount of this warning line had soared from two million to forty million.

As the name implies, only when the balance on the books is greater than forty million can the normal operation of the company be guaranteed. This also shows from the side how rapid the development of Frontier Technology is.

If the funds on the company's books approach forty million, then the entire company faces the risk of liquidity exhaustion. At this time, all external investments, registrations, and activities like expanding production and operations must be stopped to ensure the company's smooth transition.

And now, the fund surplus level is gradually approaching this warning line, so it's no wonder Liu Yemei would raise objections.

Looking around, Wang Shuo discovered that the only thing that could be moved was this Chip.

Carefully calculating the accounts, adding these two hundred million, Wang Shuo had shelled out nearly five hundred million in total to purchase Chips. At least 1000 yuan in every zero egg was paid to Vangi Company.

Originally, Wang Shuo didn't think there was anything wrong with this, but now that he is suddenly very short of money, he feels that this proportion is really a bit too large.

How about... he breaches the contract himself?

Anyway, the current Chips are enough to meet the demand of 100,000 zero eggs. If he cancels this 200 million order and uses this money to invest in a large server cluster center, wouldn't that be great?

Of course, building it directly is impossible, but as an initial investment, it is enough.

Thinking carefully, Wang Shuo was a bit hesitant.

Looking at the frowning Wang Shuo, Liu Yemei said indifferently: "Currently, all of the company's funds cannot be quickly divested. The only way is to continue increasing pre-orders for zero egg."

Wang Shuo nodded slightly, then tentatively asked: "If we tear up the Chip purchase contract, what will happen?"

"We will have to pay a huge penalty for breach of contract." Liu Yemei glanced at Wang Shuo indifferently, her tone cold: "I have read the Chip purchase contract with Vangi. The penalty amount is as high as fifty percent, and there is absolutely no room for negotiation."

Wang Shuo sighed. Sure enough, if even Liu Yemei had no way, then there really was no way.

In that case, this money cannot be moved either.

To not receive the goods and then pay the other party a fifty percent penalty for breach of contract—that's something only someone with a brain problem would do.

Silently giving up the thought, Wang Shuo was considering where else to cut some expenses when the phone next to him, belonging to Liu Yemei, vibrated gently.

Liu Yemei took out her phone, lowered her head to glance at it, and her expression changed abruptly.

"Mr. Wang." Liu Yemei looked at Wang Shuo opposite her with a complex expression. Finally, it had come to this point.

She softened her tone unprecedentedly and said gently: "Wanji Semiconductor just sent a message saying they want to terminate all cooperation agreements with us."

"They... have breached the contract."

"Oh, so they breached the contract..." Wang Shuo was still thinking and responded offhandedly, then immediately reacted.

"What? What did you say?"

Liu Yemei's expression became even more complex as she repeated: "Wanji Semiconductor has just sent a written statement unilaterally terminating the cooperation. Our cooperation has been terminated."

Wang Shuo widened his eyes, unable to believe it, and blurted out: "There is such a good thing?"

This is simply sending a pillow when one is sleepy. How can there be such good people in this world?

Liu Yemei was a bit bewildered by Wang Shuo's words, and the heavy mood was made confusing by Wang Shuo.

Mr. Wang's reaction seemed to be not quite what she had imagined?

As the product that was the company's only source of funds encountered an unprecedented predicament, shouldn't this be a sky-collapsing, earth-shattering event?

This was a supply disruption event even more serious than the previous supply chain problem; this event was almost unsolvable.

Even she herself had been depressed for a long time after knowing that such a thing might happen, and even felt it wasn't worth it for his efforts when watching Wang Shuo working all night.

She... had already started to slowly like this company, and she started to put herself in the company's shoes.

But now, why did the person who should have been the most upset seem to have no feeling at all? Not only did he have no feeling, but he also seemed... a bit happy?

Looking at Liu Yemei's expression, Wang Shuo knew he had revealed himself a bit too obviously, so he hurriedly coughed, put on a deep look, and asked: "Are you sure?"

Liu Yemei did not answer, but looked at Wang Shuo with a suspicious expression. She was very sure she hadn't misheard just now. Mr. Wang said it was... a good thing?

"Mr. Wang." Liu Yemei looked worried: "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, of course I'm fine." Wang Shuo waved his hand, his eyes bright, and confirmed again: "Sister Liu, is the news confirmed?"

Liu Yemei could only nod slightly: "It has been confirmed. They sent a written letter with an electronic signature to our email, and our contract has been voided from the date of receipt."

She paused, then continued: "They should also synchronize this news on their official website, and we will be able to see the relevant news soon."

"In other words..." Wang Shuo's eyes brightened even more: "They can't go back on it now even if they want to?"

"Theoretically, that is the case." Liu Yemei nodded gently, but her expression revealed a hint of confusion.

"Too..." Receiving Liu Yemei's affirmative nod, Wang Shuo was about to get excited. Just as he uttered one word, he saw Liu Yemei next to him looking at him with a strange expression. He hurriedly restrained his emotions, rubbed his chin, and revealed a deep expression: "Hmm... this is truly too shameless, too despicable!"

"Sister Liu." After scolding Wanji Semiconductor, Wang Shuo looked up and said: "Reply to them immediately, strongly condemning their actions. I will have Zero book you a flight ticket right now, and you will go to Wanji Semiconductor tomorrow to reason with them."

In the end, Wang Shuo added, still worried: "Remember, you must not lose your momentum. Although we are a small company, once a contract is signed, we are partners. Daring to cheat a partner—there's no justice in this! Most importantly..."

"Sister Liu, you must get the breach of contract penalty back for us. Not a single cent less. If it's even a cent less, we will fight this lawsuit to the end!"
