Xu Fang was taken aback and quickly realized the problem.
Although their water factory was developing quite well, it had only been two months, and all profits had been reinvested into expanding operations. While the factory's market value was high, they couldn't produce ten million in liquid assets on such short notice.
If they could postpone for three months, they could scrape together the ten million. But by then, the bankrupt factory would have already been sold. At that point, if no one else was selling a factory, they would have to find a new site and build from scratch. It would also be the end of the year, so even if they found a suitable location, where would they find a construction company for the rebuild? Dragging it out would mean waiting until the next spring. The new factory wouldn't be able to open until at least August of the following year, and if things didn't go smoothly, it could even be delayed until the end of that year.
