Rebirth and Reversal of Fortune

Chapter 368 Responding to the Crisis, Open Source Chapter Flow

Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling took a series of measures to deal with the crisis.

When the Marquis's mansion was mired in an economic crisis, Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling demonstrated unwavering determination and extraordinary wisdom. They quickly took a series of decisive and effective measures in an attempt to turn the tide and save the Marquis's mansion from its dire straits.

Xiao Ling first decided to humble himself and personally visit some of the old business partners of the Marquis's residence.

"I hope you will remember our past friendship and stand with the Marquis's family to overcome these difficult times," Xiao Ling said earnestly.

Some of the partners, mindful of past relationships, agreed to readjust the terms of cooperation under Xiao Ling's sincere persuasion, giving the Marquis's mansion some support and a chance to breathe.

"Since Lord Xiao is so sincere, we will do our best to help him."

Su Jinxiu then carried out a large-scale reorganization and reform within the Marquis's residence. She eliminated some redundant departments and personnel and optimized resource allocation.

"In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be taken. For the sake of the future of the Marquis's mansion, we have no choice but to do so."

However, this move also sparked internal discontent and unrest.

"We have served the Marquis's mansion for many years, how can you be so heartless as to lay us off?"

Faced with these dissenting voices, Su Jinxiu patiently explained on the one hand, and used strong measures to stabilize the situation on the other.

"If the Marquis's mansion cannot survive this calamity, none of us will have a place to live."

At the same time, they have increased their investment in research and development of new products and technologies, attempting to open up the market through innovation.

"Only by being different can one stand out in this challenging market."

However, the research and development process was not smooth, and the shortage of funds and technical bottlenecks made progress very slow.

"Research and development costs are too high. How long can we sustain this?"

Just then, the imperial court introduced a series of new policies that had an adverse impact on the Marquis's estate.

"This is adding insult to injury. How should the Marquis's mansion deal with this?"

Xiao Ling had no choice but to travel to the capital again to try to persuade court officials to change their policies.

"The rise and fall of the Marquis's mansion is related to the livelihood of many people. I hope Your Excellency will investigate carefully."

In the capital, Xiao Ling encountered various difficulties and obstacles.

"The Marquis's mansion is now in dire straits, yet it still wants the court to change its policies; that's just wishful thinking."

Meanwhile, Su Jinxiu faced a joint boycott from some merchants in the Marquis's territory, who accused the Marquis's reforms of harming their interests.

"Since the Marquis's mansion is so indifferent to our lives, we will not sit idly by and wait to die."

The Marquis's family's financial situation continued to deteriorate, and its funds were almost exhausted.

"The Marquis's mansion is now at a critical juncture of life and death."

At this critical moment, a mysterious businessman appeared and proposed a cooperation plan with harsh conditions.

"If the Marquis's mansion agrees to my conditions, I can provide substantial financial assistance."

Xiao Ling and Su Jinxiu were faced with a difficult choice.

Streamline expenses and explore new sources of income.

At a critical moment when the Marquis's mansion was facing numerous crises and its economic situation was deteriorating, Xiao Ling and Su Jinxiu decided to adopt a strategy of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure in order to save the Marquis's mansion from its predicament.

They first conducted a rigorous review and streamlining of all expenses of the Marquis's residence. Su Jinxiu personally led the accountants to carefully check every account and eliminate all unnecessary expenditures.

"Even the smallest amount must be saved now," Su Jinxiu said firmly.

Some of the luxurious decorations in the Marquis's mansion were sold off, the number of servants was greatly reduced, and even the daily expenses of the people in the mansion were cut.

"The Marquis's mansion is facing difficulties now, and we all need to work together to overcome them."

However, these measures caused quite a stir within the Marquis's residence.

"This is too frugal. Is the Marquis's mansion really going to fall into ruin?"

Some servants even left the Marquis's residence out of dissatisfaction.

"I don't want to leave you here, I have my own place to stay."

However, Xiao Ling and Su Jinxiu remained unmoved and insisted on implementing the policy of streamlining expenditures.

At the same time, they actively explored new sources of income. Xiao Ling personally went out to seek business opportunities and negotiated cooperation with businessmen in various places.

"We must seize every opportunity, no matter how small."

The Marquis's mansion began to venture into industries it had never been involved in before, such as transportation and mining.

But the new industry is full of unknowns and challenges.

The goods were stolen during transport, resulting in significant losses.

"What should we do? We wanted to make money, but we lost everything."

During the mining process, technical difficulties were encountered, and production remained slow.

"Does this new source of income also have to be cut off?"

Moreover, the expansion of the Marquis's mansion into new fields has aroused the vigilance and suppression of its competitors.

"The Marquis's family wants a piece of the pie on our territory? Not so easy."

They joined forces in an attempt to exclude the Marquis's mansion and monopolize the market.

Just as the Marquis's family was making efforts to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, the imperial court's tax burden increased again.

"This is simply leaving the Marquis's mansion with no way to survive."

Xiao Ling was forced to once again navigate the complexities of court officials in an effort to reduce the tax burden.

"The Marquis's family has devoted itself to the court, and now such heavy taxes are simply unbearable."

But the officials remained unmoved.

"The imperial court also has its difficulties, and the Marquis's mansion should share the burden for the country."

At this time, another problem of mismanagement arose within the Marquis's residence.

The newly launched business lacks effective management, and coordination between departments is poor.

"This work is impossible to carry out; it's chaotic everywhere."
