Chapter 255 I Will Think Of A Way
Facing Cece lia’s question, Shirley remained calm and said, “Any electronic technology company that
wants to go far and get rid of the fate of being a two-way merchant should establish two major centers.
One is the production base, and the other is the research and development center. It will usually take
three to five years for a newly established company to make profits…
“This year is the fourth year since the establishment of the Korita Group. It will soon come to the fifth
year. Everyone, I promise you that this year will be the year when we make a great profit. Every one of
you will get
benefits!”
But Shirley’s ambitious words didn’t cheer the higher-ups up.
“It’s an empty promise again… Ms. Wilson, you have already made a lot of empty promises during these
four
years. When can we get something practical?”
“It’s already a hard year for the companies in the industry. Some of our peer companies have closed their
factories, and some have reduced their staff. They are all trying to control the cost as much as possible.

development center. It’s really money-consuming!”
“I’ve heard that the Stewart Group is going to launch a new phone with the G6 chip soon. When the time
comes, our market share will be compressed more, and it will be even more difficult for the company to
survive. How can we expect any profit in that case?”
It could be seen that the higher-ups had long disliked Shirley. But because of Ewan, no one dared to
jump out
and state it.
Ewan just happened to be absent from the meeting today. So Cecelia led the way and planned to
embarrass
Shirley.
“Ms. Wilson, you haven’t come to the company often these years. I think you don’t know how difficult the
day
of the Korita Group is. It’s good that you are here today, Ms. Wilson. I will let the financial director show
you
our real accounts…”
After Cecelia finished speaking, she looked at the financial director, who was sitting in the corner.
The financial director stood up and nodded at everyone. Then, he said with a serious expression, “The
Korita
Group has indeed grown bigger and bigger in the past few years. But the operating costs have also
become
higher and higher. We have invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the construction of the
production center and the research and development center. At present, our account is in a state of
severe
deficit. If we can’t pull in any more investment, the company may even go bankrupt. It’s almost
impossible to
make profits…”
The financial director made a very detailed data map about the company’s financial condition. It indeed
looked very shocking!
Shirley could not help but frown. She didn’t know that the financial condition of the Korita Group had

reached such a critical state!
In the past few years, Shirley had been dealing with the affairs of the Korita Group through Ewan.
Although Ewan kept saying that he had almost run out of his family funds, the information and data he
showed Shirley looked very promising.
It was also because of this that Shirley was able to do research and plan without worries.
However…
Cecelia saw the astonished expression on Shirley’s face and could not help but snort coldly, “It seems
that my little brother has been reporting good news to you and hiding bad news from you. Ms. Wilson, to
tell you the truth, the Korita Group almost can’t hold on anymore. The Parker family has almost run out of
money. If you still have a little conscience, don’t make things difficult for Ewan. Now, we really don’t have
any extra funds to make any investment!”
“That’s right. Ms. Wilson, please think about it carefully. We really can’t invest more!”
The higher-ups echoed.
Everyone was conservative. In addition, the company’s finance was in a critical state. The higher-ups
only hoped that the company could survive. It couldn’t afford any trouble.
After a long silence, Shirley said solemnly, “I’ve known about the company’s situation. I’m sorry to have
made you suffer. I will think of a way to solve the company’s financial problem.”
