After hearing these numbers, everyone understood why Kim Dong-seok's expression was so heavy.

Park Jin Hyuk said, "The deficit has exceeded 1 trillion won for two consecutive quarters."

Kim Dong-seok nodded. "So far... the deficit has accumulated to 2.7 trillion won."

The conference room fell into silence. The figure of 2.7 trillion was simply too staggering.

At this point, Kim Dong-seok raised his voice and said, "However, the good news is that oil prices have bottomed out and the company's operations are expected to start to improve."

"We'll be profitable next quarter, right?"

Kim Dong-seok paused. "Because the previous deficit was too large, our goal is to reduce it."

“What is the specific goal?”

"We strive to achieve sales of 2 trillion yuan (about 10.6 billion RMB) and reduce the deficit to 200 billion yuan."

Park Jin Hyuk smiled wryly and said, "So, the final deficit for the whole year will be 3 trillion won?"

"Yes," Jin Dongxi lowered his head, "I'm really ashamed. I blame myself for my poor leadership."

"President Kim, this can't be entirely blamed on you," Park Jin Hyuk comforted him.

Chairman Park Joon-wan is primarily responsible for the problem, but as the head of the subsidiary, Kim Dong-seok should also bear corresponding responsibility because he did not speak out his opinions directly.

"It's too late to say anything else now... I want to know when the company's operations can return to normal."

"It's expected that business operations will return to normal next year, as the vaccine has just been launched and it will take some time for consumer confidence to recover."

"Next year..." Park Jin Hyuk muttered to himself.
