Chapter 505: I Don't Want to Be Left Behind [Third Update]
Soon, all branches received notices, and many people breathed a long sigh of relief, and they didn't need to go to the annual meeting, and they could spend a lot more time with their families.
The financial headquarters of the Celestial Empire and the European Apocalypse Accounting Firm began to get busy, and began to count the funds handed over by each branch, as well as sort out the bills of each branch, and when they went to Xu Ping'an's side for a meeting, they needed to give Xu Ping'an a purpose.
On this day, Xu Ping'an received a call from Miao Yiyi, planning to travel to France to relax, Xu Ping'an would definitely not refuse, and arranged a vehicle to pick up Miao Yiyi at the airport two days later.
Liu Wenjun and Dalina are a little unhappy, I don't know why, as long as Xu Ping'an is with Song Xinyun, Miao Yiyi, and Isabella, the two are in a bad mood.
Someone snatched a favorite toy that thought it was right.
This kind of thinking comes and goes quickly, Song Xinyun, Miao Yiyi and Isabella all know about the two of them, but they don't break it, women have really changed a lot together.
In less than a day, as if it was okay or something, the three of them began to go out shopping and buy clothes together, chattering non-stop, and Xu Ping'an was happy.
On this day, Tianqi Renewable Resources Company issued a statement that the 700 foreign trainers recruited have all been qualified, and will resume normal treatment from January 1, and the salary and benefits will exceed the normal industry standards.
At the same time, it was announced that Tianqi Renewable Resources Company will start the construction of renewable resources ecosystem in eight countries this year: the United Kingdom, France, Germany, the United States, Japan, Austria, Italy and New Zealand.
Legal contracts have been signed with the relevant national and local governments, and this group of trainers will serve as the management of these new renewable resource ecosystems, with middle and senior management responsibilities.
At the same time, it was also announced that Tianchao will once again start the construction of five renewable resource ecosystems in China, and it has been proved that Tianqi Renewable Resources Company can perfectly solve urban waste and reduce urban waste pollution to the lowest standard.
In some countries, the garbage problem is even more serious, but the government is unwilling to pay, so Apocalypse Renewable Resources can only give up on building a renewable resource ecosystem in these countries.
After the news came out, many people were shocked, and they couldn't imagine that they would start to start the foreign renewable resources system so soon, not to mention much, just renewable resources, how much profit would be brought to Tianqi Group every year.
Many people are very red-eyed, Xu Ping'an doesn't authorize it at all, this is a clear plan to eat alone, but you have no choice, refuse, your urban garbage has reached the point of urgency.
Don't refuse, seeing so many profits being taken away by the Apocalypse Group, my heart hurts very much.
Every year, each city must give a certain amount of garbage disposal fee subsidies, and the renewable resources sold in the renewable resource ecosystem are also tax-free.
Although each city does not earn much every year, it can add up to a lot, tens of millions in a city, hundreds of millions in a provincial city, 200 million in super cities, and 200 million in garbage subsidies in the magic capital, capital and first-tier cities.
Now that five ecosystems have been completed, plus the annual sale of fertilizer, feed, electricity, heating, plastic pellets, metals, wood, pulp, etc., these renewable raw materials have brought huge profits to Apocalypse Renewable Resources.
To the relief of these cities, Tianqi Renewable Resources provides a large number of jobs, and garbage sorting is a labor-intensive enterprise that can provide thousands of direct jobs.
It can also provide a lot of low-cost public materials, purified water, is a very good material, with the state-invested canals, the cost of farmers watering the land is plummeting, and the cost of urban greening water is also plummeting.
Resources are being used more efficiently, and this is the benefit of the Apocalypse Renewable Resource System, which has been in operation for more than a year, and Isabella has a net profit of tens of millions of euros per year.
The benefits are also obvious, first of all, the employment rate has been greatly improved, and urban people can have income only when they have work, and only when they have income can they have consumption, forming a virtuous circle.
Another is that garbage pollution has been greatly reduced, according to the Danish policy, you can put garbage in a specified location can be points, these points can be exchanged for a lot of daily necessities.
The cost of these items is divided equally between the city government and the renewable resource company, and it will not cost a few dollars, but it can solve the garbage problem very well, and the environment will become better.
Before everyone could react, the Apocalypse Renewable Resources Research Institute signed a contract with the Celestial Empire to build air purification facilities in fourteen areas in the north that were prone to fog.
Land for air purification facilities will be provided free of charge by local governments, and the Weather Resources Institute will build 68 air purification towers to capture PM2.5 dust in the air.
Each air purification tower is 70 meters high, and is composed of 15 meters, 30 meters, 50 meters, and 70 meters respectively, and four huge air purification facilities to purify pollutants in the air at multiple levels.
With a total investment of 11 billion yuan, the government subsidizes 30,000 yuan per year for each air purification tower for harmless treatment of adsorbed harmful substances, and the contract period is 30 years.
All air purification towers are built according to the characteristics of air flow, which can be adjusted according to the wind direction, and in the absence of wind, the fan can be driven by the current generated by solar energy and wind energy to flow air.
This business is losing money, and the reason why Xu Ping'an approved this business is also for long-term interests, monopolizing the garbage disposal industry, and there must be something to return.
Xu Ping'an, the big man with good intentions, knows very well that he has invested more than 10 billion yuan in vain, and you can't ask for anything, and it will be over with the water.
Time passed slowly, Wu Sikai, Huo Minghai, Niels, and Bruce all arrived at Xu Ping'an's manor in France, and the list of year-end bonus rewards has been introduced, and now Xu Ping'an is doing the final review.
Although this year's expenses are larger than last year's, the revenue is also higher than last year, especially the two major game companies, which have ushered in a record bumper harvest, and the growth brought by the full operation of the voice-activated system is visible to the naked eye.
Xu Ping'an adjusted the year-end bonuses of Ye Changlin and Jacques, the year-end bonuses of the person in charge of the research institute, and the year-end bonuses of Bannon.
Of course, the year-end bonuses of Wu Sikai, Huo Minghai, Niels, and Bruce were also adjusted, and two days later, several people gathered in Xu Ping'an's study for a meeting.
"The year-end bonus will be distributed according to the amount I adjusted," Xu Ping'an finished speaking, and handed the document to Huo Minghai and Niels.
"What companies have not completed the target of reserving funds this year," Xu Ping'an looked at the two and asked.
"Boss, according to statistics, Apocalypse Supermarket Group, Apocalypse Video Company, Apocalypse Agricultural Group, Apocalypse Logistics Company, Apocalypse Technology Co., Ltd., Apocalypse Life Research Institute, Apocalypse Agricultural Research Institute, Apocalypse Space Mining Offensive, Apocalypse Steel Group, these companies did not complete their goals"
"There are new companies established this year, and there are companies that have been established for several years," Huo Minghai reported.
Xu Ping'an smiled, "Tianqi Technology Company is on the list every year, it can make money and spend money, and the investment in scientific research is really powerful, I estimate that it will be difficult to make a profit in the past two years."
"Indeed, I talked to Qiao Yicheng on the phone, they lost 1.7 billion euros after removing profits this year, and each project team is a gold-swallowing beast, and the funds have been eaten by the project team," Huo Minghai said with a smile.
"The same is true for French technology companies, which have a loss of 1.9 billion euros after deducting profits, and I looked at the detailed financial statements, and the funds have flowed into various project teams, buying equipment, buying materials, and the cost is really large," Nils also sighed on the side.
Bruce was surprised, he didn't expect that technology companies would lose so much money, you know, technology companies charge a lot of patent fees, and R&D expenses are so high.
Bruce asked puzzledly: "Boss, what is the annual R&D expenses of our Apocalypse Group now, and why do they still lose money."
"Bruce, the actual R&D expenses of our Tianqi Group last year were as high as 36 billion euros," Xu Ping'an looked at Bruce and said.
Bruce and Wu Sikai both took a deep breath, they didn't expect to spend so much.
"Our profits are recognized as high, but most of our profits flow into scientific and technological research and development, which is clear to the top of our countries that spend a lot of money, which is the fundamental reason why those countries have not raised taxes on us."
"If we don't have such a large investment in scientific research, tax increases are inevitable," Xu Ping'an explained slightly.
"The president is right, this year, our scientific research expenses will reach a new high, because space technology research and development will be carried out on a large scale this year, and it is really difficult for technology companies to get rid of losses in a few years," Huo Minghai said on the side.
"President, space technology costs so much, why do we have to invest, at present, all countries have limited investment, is it worth us to invest so much" Wu Sikai asked with a frown.
Huo Minghai, Bruce, and Nils also looked at Xu Ping'an, and several people were puzzled by this problem, and they didn't understand why Xu Ping'an must vigorously develop aerospace technology.
Xu Ping'an's enthusiasm for this piece exceeded expectations.
"Gentlemen, what I'm going to talk about next is top secret, understand" Xu Ping'an looked at the four people after speaking, and all four of them nodded seriously.
"According to the investigation of the intelligence department, the alien base plan of the United States is very likely to become a reality in the next five years, and the real strength is much more terrifying than what the outside world says."
"Japan has been secretly using satellites to collect meteorite samples from outer space for many years, otherwise, why would Japan be leading the way in advanced materials?"
"Other countries have their own space programs, all of them are unique, why do international giants spend so much money every year on their own space programs, these expenses are their net profits"
"Because they have mastered the latest news of global aerospace technology, in the future, it depends on who can make breakthroughs in aerospace technology, and you will see if you pay attention in the past few years."
"Many countries have made great breakthroughs in space technology, a few years ago, Russia's new spacesuits, our new generation of radiation-resistant materials, the United States' alien gravity chamber, super engines, super fuel, the new generation of space stations in the Celestial Empire, and European high-sensitivity sensors"
"Wait, these breakthroughs all show one thing, that is, all countries agree that space is the future, and if you want to seize the future, you must go to space"
"Therefore, we must not be left behind, otherwise, when other international giants go to space in a few years, we will be left behind, and more importantly, the resources on meteorites in outer space will not belong to us"
"Japan plans to have four satellites this year, and as far as I know, one of them is a manned satellite, which can stay on some relatively large meteorites"
"The outside world only thinks that only the Celestial Empire, Russia, and the United States have mastered manned satellite technology, but in fact, Japan and some countries also have this technology, but they keep it secret."
"On the international black market, rocket engine drawings, satellite design drawings, and so on have begun to circulate, which shows what it means, this shows that the big countries have mastered a new generation of technology"
"This old technology is not very useful, in this way, some countries can be drawn into the space race, and the more countries that participate, the faster the development of space technology, which is a good thing for mankind"
"There is a very important criterion for the future international giants, that is, your space strength, and the international giants without this strength will fall behind, which is the competition between enterprises."
"You have all seen that the three small islands sold by France have been bought by international giants, and they are all engaged in space technology research and development, and they all see this, and they are not willing to be left behind" Xu Ping'an looked at the four people and explained briefly.
