438: Huge claims
In just a few minutes, Su Yue came downstairs via the stairs and found that only Lao Wang and Lao Xing were left downstairs.
When they saw Su Yue walking over, they quickly walked up to Su Yue and said, "General Manager Su, they've all left."
Su Yue nodded slightly and said, "You two must be their replacements. Tell me your proposed solution."
There was no solution. Their coming down to find him could only anger him, which would be completely detrimental with no benefits.
Soon, Lao Wang took out two thousand yuan and placed it in Su Yue's hand: "This is the most we can compensate."
Su Yue lowered his head and glanced at the two thousand yuan in Lao Wang's hand, his face filled with coldness: "That's it?"
The cost of just one piece of equipment far exceeded the money they offered, and this time they had damaged four or five pieces of equipment.
If they were truly required to compensate, they would likely need to pay at least a six-figure sum.
Lao Wang saw that Su Yue was unwilling to accept the money and said with a troubled expression, "All the sincerity we can offer is here."
Lao Xing, who was nearby, immediately chimed in, "Yes, this is the highest sincerity we can offer. We didn't wish for this either."
Su Yue turned his head and said, "If you think two thousand can settle this, then let's handle it officially."
Without discussing further with them, he planned to leave.
When Lao Wang and Lao Xing saw that Su Yue seemed to be thinking of leaving, they quickly blocked his path.
"How about you give us a method, and we'll compensate you according to your requirements."
"Yes, we don't understand your industry and don't know how much is most appropriate to offer."
Su Yue looked at their honest and simple appearance, walked casually to a piece of equipment, and said, "This one is one hundred seventy thousand."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two immediately froze on the spot and didn't react for a long time.
They knew the equipment inside was very expensive, but they hadn't expected it to be this expensive.
Just then, Wang Ye walked over from a distance with a list and placed it in front of Su Yue: "General Manager Su, take a look."
Su Yue took the document with both hands and found a very detailed price list on it.
Su Yue then placed the document in their hands and said, "You two take a close look and see if I'm lying to you."
Lao Wang took the invoice and found that a single piece of equipment cost a six-figure sum.
And they had just smashed four or five pieces of equipment, so their losses were likely in the millions.
Instantly, Lao Xing's legs turned soft, and he nearly collapsed onto the ground, his face completely drained of color: "Th-this... this..."
Su Yue saw Lao Xing looking at him and chuckled, "You two decide how to handle it, officially or privately."
Privately would definitely save a lot of money, but they didn't have that much money at all.
Su Yue had long seen that they couldn't come up with that much money, and he pulled Lao Xing up from the ground.
"Even if you don't have that much money, you don't need to sit on the ground, right?"
Lao Xing heard Su Yue say this and said with embarrassment, "Give us a minimum price, and I'll go back and discuss it."
They were all simple working people and naturally wouldn't shirk responsibility.
Of course, they knew that opposing Yuantu Investment wouldn't end well, so they naturally wouldn't openly confront Yuantu Investment.
Su Yue glanced in Wang Ye's direction and said, "Come with me, I have a few questions for you."
Regarding equipment installation, Su Yue admitted he knew nothing about it, so he had to ask Wang Ye.
In just a few seconds, Wang Ye followed Su Yue to the side, his face full of surprise: "What's going on?"
Su Yue pointed in the direction of the equipment and asked, "There are no parts for you now. Can we start on time?"
Wang Ye heard Su Yue worrying about the opening time, thought for a moment, and said, "As long as no one causes trouble, I believe it should be fine."
When he learned about everything, he immediately agreed: "Then let's install it as soon as possible. I'll go talk to them."
As the saying goes, show no mercy where none is due. His original intention was to teach these people a lesson so they wouldn't dare to cause trouble again.
In just a few minutes, Su Yue returned to the office with Lao Wang and Lao Xing.
This time, the two of them didn't even dare to sit down, their faces full of embarrassment: "Look... how much do we need to compensate?"
"Yeah, if you don't tell us the amount of compensation, we wouldn't dare to sit here at all."
Su Yue looked at their embarrassed faces and chuckled, "I'll give you two options now."
When they heard that Su Yue was willing to give them options, they nodded repeatedly: "Okay, please tell us."
Su Yue glanced at them and said, "After you leave here, you probably don't have anywhere else to go, right?"
Digital Future City needed a complete security team, and Liu Ran currently had no way to provide such a team.
It just so happened that their people came to his doorstep, and Su Yue felt he was fully capable of taking them on.
When they saw Su Yue asking about their future work, they shook their heads repeatedly: "Indeed, we have no jobs to look for."
Su Yue learned that they had no other work lined up and said with a smile, "That makes it easy. You can come work for me."
Because Su Yue's offer was quite a leap, their faces were full of surprise: "We work for you?"
Su Yue nodded slightly: "That's right, you come work for us, and we'll deduct twenty percent of your monthly salary as compensation."
Without giving them time to react, he adjusted a suitable contract on the computer and printed it out.
Since the two of them couldn't represent everyone, Su Yue pointed to the contract on the table and said, "You are free to agree. If you sign it, send it over."
Lao Wang stared blankly at the contract on the table and found that everyone's basic salary had increased.
Even if Su Yue were to deduct twenty percent, their salaries would still be higher than their original wages.
However, he still tremblingly asked, "May I ask... about your other option?"
Su Yue had originally thought they would just leave, but no one expected them to ask a question.
Su Yue glanced at them, took a deep breath, and said, "Repay the debt in installments. I'll give you the amount."
The cost of just four pieces of equipment could potentially leave them repaying for a lifetime, so they essentially had no other options.
Soon, the two of them left the office with the contract.
Not long after they left, Wang Ye from downstairs came into Su Yue's office.
Wang Ye looked at Su Yue with an embarrassed expression and said, "Because of the parts issue, our equipment cannot operate long-term."
Only when all the parts were in his hands could the equipment operate indefinitely.

Su Yue learned that their Digital Future City could open at any time, looked at his watch, and said, "Let's distribute flyers widely."
Since the equipment at Digital Future City could operate, there was no need for them to hide it. Opening for business as soon as possible was the best approach.
In his eyes, missing this opportunity was a major taboo for the opening.
Not long after, Lao Wang and Lao Xing came to Digital Future City with many contracts.
When Su Yue saw the two of them return, he said with a smile, "Have you made a decision?"
Lao Wang pointed to the contract in his hand and said, "All of us are willing to stay here and work for you."
In their eyes, signing the contract was the most cost-effective option.
Su Yue glanced carefully at the contract on the table, casually placed it in the drawer, and said, "Get ready, we're opening for business."
Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he glanced at Lao Wang and said, "Oh right, you can't be as lazy as before."
As security personnel for Digital Future City, they had to patrol outside at all times to prevent any issues.
Lao Wang and Lao Xing exchanged glances and nodded repeatedly: "We like watching them play those so-called virtual games."
They used to be lazy simply because there was no one in Digital Future City at all.
Even if the security personnel were very diligent, he believed there was nowhere for him to go.
Su Yue heard the two of them agree and shrugged indifferently: "Then you all go and get busy with your work."
At this time, he had other matters to deal with and couldn't stay at Digital Future City all the time.
In just half an hour, Su Yue drove back to Yuantu Investment.
Just as he had predicted, Yuantu Investment's legal team was causing trouble for Fang Tianhai.
Currently, no one could make money right under Yuantu Investment's nose, and they were no different.
Lan Zijun was even more furious, sitting in the office, her face full of anger. She hadn't expected to encounter a swindler on her first contract.
Su Yue saw Lan Zijun looking at him and chuckled, "Experience grows gradually, don't worry."
In his eyes, experience always increases gradually. No one becomes an expert right away.
Lan Zijun listened to Su Yue's comfort and nodded with a helpless expression.
Not long after, Wang Ye called to confirm the opening time.
Because Digital Future City was an industry under Yuantu Investment, many people thought Yuantu Investment must have purchased a lot of equipment.
He had just released the tickets on the backend, and they were immediately sold out.
When Su Yue learned that their tickets were sold out, he said with a face full of shock, "Then we must do a good job this time."
The trial operation not only needed to capture the hearts of the customers but also let them know their future direction.
As long as customers were willing to stay here long-term, Su Yue believed their business could only get better and better.
While some were happy, others were naturally worried.
The virtual reality industry company far away in the suburbs immediately became worried, fearing that Yuantu Investment would steal their business.
And the person at the entrance of the virtual reality industry company was none other than Gu Fang, the former receptionist at Digital Future City.
When Gu Fang learned that Digital Future City was regrouping, the unease in his heart grew more intense.
He understood that his virtual reality industry had completely benefited from Digital Future City, and without their help, he would have no business.
After much thought, Gu Fang finally chose to come to Digital Future City.
At this time, Su Yue and Lan Zijun had just arrived at Digital Future City, planning to do a final inspection.
Suddenly, Gu Fang walked up to the two of them, his face serious: "I wonder if you have time? I need to talk."
Su Yue saw Gu Fang looking at him and subconsciously nodded: "Come with us to the office."
He originally thought Lan Zijun would follow, but who knew that Lan Zijun had no intention of coming along.
In just a few minutes, Su Yue and Gu Fang sat facing each other in the office.
Gu Fang glanced at Su Yue and chuckled, "You should remember me. I'm the receptionist who gave you the business card."
Su Yue had been observing him all along. Now, hearing him introduce himself, he nodded in sudden realization: "Yes, what is it?"
This time, Gu Fang came with sincerity, his face full of embarrassment: "With you opening for business, we'll be finished."
Not only did he rely on that side for his livelihood, but many employees also relied on it.
When Su Yue learned that Gu Fang was worried about business issues, he thought for a moment and said, "Shouldn't we consider this normal business competition?"
It was impossible for there to be only one business in the same industry. If they could stand out in this industry, it was their own issue.
Gu Fang heard Su Yue say this, took a deep breath, and said, "So many of us need to eat too. Give us a way to survive."
In his opinion, as long as Digital Future City started operating, there would be no need for their side to open its doors.
Su Yue thought for a moment and said, "Are you a shareholder or the behind-the-scenes boss over there?"
He felt that ordinary working people wouldn't be so concerned. There was a high probability that Gu Fang was a shareholder there.
When he heard Su Yue ask about his identity, he sighed helplessly: "I am the largest shareholder over there."
The reason he hid in Digital Future City was that he felt he could divert customers to that side.
But now that Digital Future City had changed owners, he definitely couldn't use the same trick again.
Moreover, the audience's eyes were sharp. If this place was fun, there was no reason to drive so far to the suburbs.
In just a minute, Su Yue couldn't help but say to him, "I can convince Yuantu Investment to acquire you as well."
The virtual reality industry was Yuantu Investment's future direction, and Su Yue had no reason to change Yuantu Investment's course.
But he could help others and conveniently take over Gu Fang's virtual reality industry so he wouldn't lose money.
As expected, when he learned that his company could be acquired, he was overjoyed and immediately agreed.
Ever since he knew that Digital Future City had started renovations, he had felt unable to eat or sleep.
As Gu Fang left the office, Lan Zijun slowly walked in from the doorway, her face full of speechlessness: "I heard everything."
She felt that the virtual reality industry where Gu Fang was located was a bit remote, and if they acquired such a company, they might not make money.
Su Yue heard Lan Zijun subtly trying to remind him and said with a smile, "I'm confident, just trust me."
As the saying goes, good wine needs no bush. Their virtual equipment was powerful, so they weren't afraid of not having customers come to play on their equipment.
