“Teacher, this is last month’s financial report.”
When the time came to September, Shen Lang put a thick stack of forms on Luo Jia’s desk, and said in a deep voice: “After the final settlement, Xingchen Xihua completed a total of one month of sales in the first month of its establishment. 14.7 billion US dollars, but due to the global large-scale marketing and advertising campaign, we invested more than 5.5 billion US dollars in publicity and distribution funds that month, plus tax and cost factors, the net profit was only less than 3 billion US dollars. “
Shen Lang seemed to be a little disappointed to report to Luo Jia, and Luo Jia showed a surprised expression after hearing it, net profit of 3 billion US dollars? This result is really astonishing, after all, Xingchen Xihua has only been established for the first month.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. Luo Jia thought that he would lose money in the first month, but he still made money. I don’t know whether to praise Shen Lang’s marketing methods, or to lament the love of the female compatriots for beauty. crazy.
“According to our observations on the market prospects, when the stars are on the right track, even our most conservative estimate can bring the company a monthly net profit of no less than 25 billion U.S. dollars, and an annual net profit of three About 100 billion U.S. dollars.” Shen Lang explained.
Such an exaggerated figure made Luo Jia both pleasantly surprised and apprehensive. The annual net profit of 300 billion US dollars is still the most conservative estimate. If Lu Tao, the chief financial officer, gets the news, he will hold Shen Lang and cry bitterly.
Lu Tao, the chief financial officer, has been having a hard time recently. The space program will not make a profit in the foreseeable five years, and it has to spend crazy money. On average, at least one trillion US dollars will be spent every year.
Of course Star Technology is rich, but at the same time as making money, Star Technology spends money even more cruelly. Scientists in the company receive the highest salary in the world and enjoy the best treatment in the world. Even the house and objects are free Provided, all of these do not require a lot of money as support.
Besides, Xingchen Technology is the largest scientific research group in the world. When ordinary people think of scientific research, they may have laboratories and rows of complicated equipment in their heads, but the managers who actually operate the scientific research group think of money. The equipment is very expensive, okay? It’s as big as the Hadron Collider, as small as the bottles and jars in the chemical laboratory. Which one is not made by money?
The so-called scientific research is actually a concentrated battle of intelligence and capital. How did North America’s technological hegemony come about?
Oak Ridge National Laboratory alone burned 110 billion US dollars in 2018, and there are at least a dozen such laboratories in North America, and hundreds of smaller secondary laboratories .
If you fall behind, you will be beaten. Xingchen Technology is a rising star in the global technological competition. The latecomers must have the consciousness of the latecomers, spend more money and invest more scientific research than the predecessors, so as to catch up. Even the Jedi overtook.
Currently, Star Technology’s stall is too big. The total number of engineers and researchers last year was 220,000, but by September this year, it had exceeded 260,000. Luo Jia has the ambition to form a Greater East Asia Alliance to counter Western forces, so he accepts all orders, so the settlement and moving expenses paid to new employees this year will be an astonishing amount.
The stars cleanse the 300 billion a year, which is just the right time, which is equivalent to 30% of the annual funds required by the space program. Luo Jia really wants to praise the great women, they are the best! The Road to Stars and Seas depends on them to raise money!
However, Luo Jia is also worried, because this time Xingchen Xihua not only earns money from foreigners, but also from compatriots. The domestic price of Pechoin blue and white porcelain vases is as high as one thousand yuan. It has established the tradition of Star Technology to sell at low prices in China and benefit all compatriots.
“Teacher, you can’t say that.” After Shen Lang learned of Luo Jia’s concerns, he explained seriously: “Carmen Vortex Street Power Generation is a big project that can be recorded in history forever. Have we benefited our compatriots?”
Luo Jia was stunned, and said in a deep voice: “Of course, the current domestic electricity price is 10 cents per unit, which is the lowest in the world. Easy, we can set the electricity price at 20 cents, which is the lowest in the world, but our profit will be doubled.”
“The reason why we don’t do this is because we consider that electricity is a livelihood project, so that everyone is willing to turn on the air conditioner in summer, and no longer has to worry about electricity bills, which can greatly improve the happiness of life. Therefore, our Karmen Vortex Street power generation project, Although the momentum is mighty, but in fact, you have not made money selling cosmetics, if this is not benefiting the compatriots, what is it?”
Shen Lang nodded, “It’s also based on life science technology. When a person is sick, it’s our duty to help him treat the disease. However, if a person feels that she is not beautiful enough, she hopes we can help her become more beautiful. Then there will be a fee, after all, helping everyone become beautiful is a non-essential added value, not our job.”
“Teacher, I know your love for your hometown, but now we have a goal, a super goal that is great enough to change the fate of all mankind. In order to achieve this goal, we should do whatever it takes.”
Luo Jia didn’t say anything. Since the age of thirteen, Luo Jia had already asked Shen Lang to read Machiavelli, and Shen Lang did not let Luo Jia down. On Roja.
…
The autumn of the sixth year of Star Technology’s founding is destined not to be peaceful. In this era when beauty is justice, once the Pechoin blue and white porcelain was launched, it caused a global earthquake of magnitude 18. Its influence even surpassed the space of Star Technology. The plan surpasses the epoch-making Karmen vortex street power generation launched by Luo Jia.
This is probably the gap between ideal and reality. Of course, Luo Jia hopes that everyone can love and believe in science. However, in real life, the people are most concerned about pork prices and celebrity gossip.
“Damn Xingchen Technology, the face cream in the blue and white porcelain bottle is so expensive, the old lady can’t even afford the cup of milk tea every afternoon.”
“Sister, how can you wrong yourself so much? Instead of not drinking milk tea, it’s better to ask your husband to quit smoking. What’s the benefit of smoking? The money saved will buy you cosmetics, and you will become more and more beautiful , your husband also has face.”
“That’s right, I don’t dress up to show off to those stinky men. My husband should pay for the money.”
In the shopping mall, two elder sisters queuing up exchanged their experience of living at home. Although their incomes were not high, they were not relentless when buying cosmetics. Bought a new Pechoin mask.
There are five masks in total, and the price is 1,000 yuan. If you use it every day, the minimum monthly consumption is 6,000 yuan. It is definitely a waste of money without negotiating. After Luo Jia’s approval, Shen Lang also went all out. Accelerate the launch of new products, and prepare to let female compatriots contribute generously to the company’s space program.
And the female compatriots lived up to expectations, and devoted themselves to the extremely costly beauty business with great enthusiasm. All the women in China, and even the world, were snapping up like crazy, and all kinds of bizarre news kept breaking out. Eye-popping.
In a poverty-stricken area in Africa, the mother forced her underage daughter to marry an 80-year-old man in order to raise money to buy face cream. A policewoman in a Southeast Asian country marked herself with a clear price, how long and deep love can be obtained with a few bottles of face cream, etc. wait.
Anyway, women are doing everything they can for the sake of beauty, and have staged scenes of bizarre human comedies, refreshing everyone’s views time and time again. success.
A considerable number of female compatriots are desperate to fund the great space program. This phenomenon surprises the straight men of Xingchen Technology.
Women hold up half the sky, but it’s useless to talk about it. At critical moments, they have to be willing to pay. As long as they pay, straight men are willing to admit that they are half the sky, and most of them are fine.
…
Paris, L’Oréal headquarters.
For five consecutive years, L’Oreal Group has been ranked No. 1 in the list of the most popular employers in France. They not only provide high salaries to their employees, but also have up to 45 days of paid holidays. Even on working days, employees It also only needs to work 30 hours a week, which also includes an hour of tea time every afternoon.
However, the good days of the L’Oreal Group finally came to an abrupt end today. For the first time in 30 years, L’Oreal’s monthly report showed a huge loss, with a loss amounting to 6.2 billion euros. Such an exaggerated figure is shocking. The boardroom, a storm is brewing fast.
“What the **** is going on!?” Director Roland roared angrily, “Since the company was established in 1907, it has been the largest cosmetics group on the planet. The market and the financial statements are all huge profits, and there has never been a loss!”
“It’s good now, the loss is a mess! In just one month, we lost 6.2 billion euros!? According to this figure, it won’t take long for our century-old store to close down! Explain! , you must explain clearly to the board of directors!”
The general manager Tudor tidied up the collar of his shirt. Facing the doubts from the board of directors, he was already panicked inside, but he still tried to calm down and said: “The main reason for the huge loss is because we washed up with Xingchen. The chemical group, in the last month, carried out a tragic global attack.”
“Perhaps the directors have not noticed that the ladies who wear cheongsams and sell Pechoin brand cosmetics are stationed outside the gate of our group, as well as in all shopping malls and supermarkets, in the most crowded places in every city in the world. region.”
“This kind of fierce offensive is a typical style of Xingchen Technology. As the industry leader, we can only resort to a more fierce promotional offensive than them, which has caused financial losses.”
The directors nodded one after another. Although they are separated by the industry, everyone has heard the name of Xingchen Technology. Those Chinese barbarians are very strong. Even the powerful North America is now actively resisting the invasion of China, which shows that they are fierce. .
Since Star Technology has started to challenge L’Oreal’s global dominance in cosmetics, L’Oreal must counterattack, and it is reasonable to spend more money for this, resulting in a deficit in the financial report.
“So, after investing huge marketing expenses, we have already won the war with Star Technology?”
“This month’s loss is only temporary, starting from next month, everything will return to normal, right!?”
“Those Chinese people still worship French products, and they will still madly buy cosmetics from our L’Oreal Group. Mr. Tudor, this should be the case, right?”
The directors questioned one after another. In their view, this month’s financial report has suffered a huge loss. So much money has been invested, so it will have some effect, whether it is to defend against the mad attack of the Eastern black hands, or to drive them away. go back?
By this time, General Manager Tudor couldn’t hold back any longer. He was sweating profusely, his wrists twitched one after another, and his right eyelid twitched wildly.
As a professional manager, he knows very well that the good times when the West made money lying down are gone forever. Look at the employees of the L’Oreal Group. These French people can earn dozens of times that of Chinese people. Is it because they are smarter than Chinese people, because French civilization is superior to Chinese civilization?
Probably not.
It’s just that they were lucky enough to take the lead in ~Soverse.com~ during the industrial revolution in the new century.
“Mr. Tudor, are you talking!?”
“What’s going on now?”
Facing the silent Tudor, the directors were aggressive.
With a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth, Tudor sighed weakly, and said in a low voice: “Three years ago, when Xingchen Technology started the industrial software project, the software department of Dassault Group also thought the same as us , It won’t be long before those Chinese people who want to stand on their own will kneel and beg them to provide software, because with the strength of the Chinese people, it is impossible to equalize the gap of decades in a short period of time.”
The directors were silent. They seemed to have heard about this incident. At that time, the company that used Dassault’s computational fluid dynamics software should be COMAC, the only seedling of China’s large aircraft project.
“What about now? Has Dassault’s software department recovered its business?” Director Roland asked in a deep voice.
“Now?” Tudor shrugged his shoulders, “Dassault Group no longer has a software department.”
