Xu Ping'an looked at Barry and said, "Barry, introduce the current progress of the institute."

Barry stood up, "President, colleagues, the German Institute of Advanced Materials applied for a total of 869 patents last year, of which 528 were approved, and the rest will slowly skin in the near future."

"For the whole year, we spent 740 million euros, 370 million in licensing fees, and a loss of almost 400 million, and we aim to reduce the loss by more than 100 million euros this year."

Barry's report is very concise, which is specially requested by Xu Ping'an, the institute does not need a detailed report, a rough report is enough, and the confidentiality must be protected.

"Barry, I believe you will achieve the set goal" Xu Ping'an said with a smile, waving his hand to let Barry sit down, and everyone applauded.

"Gilbert, tell me about your side" Xu Ping'an said with a smile, and Gilbert stood up.

"President, colleagues, we at the Institute of Renewable Resources spent 1.1 billion euros last year, applied for 1,498 patents throughout the year, and approved 922 patents, and the rest will be approved gradually."

"The annual patent licensing revenue is 212 million, which is a serious loss, and our goal this year is to reduce the loss by more than 100 million pounds, and strive for a new number of patents," Gilbert reported is also very concise.

"Gilbert, your patent licensing revenue growth this year must not be less than 200 million pounds, I have to put a little pressure on you" Xu Ping'an said with a smile, and Gilbert also smiled.

"Boss rest assured, we have achieved our goal 100% this year" Gilbert is very confident.

Xu Ping'an nodded and waved his hand to let Gilbert sit down, and everyone applauded.

"Darian, tell me about your side" Xu Ping'an said directly, and Darian stood up.

"President, colleagues, the Italian Institute of Machinery and Equipment applied for 341 patents last year, and now they have been approved, we spend 500 million euros for the whole year, and the patent income from licensing is 23 million euros, and the loss is relatively serious."

"However, we have made two major breakthroughs and we are sure that we will turn a profit this year," Darien said seriously.

Xu Ping'an nodded and waved his hand, and Darian sat down, and everyone applauded.

The Italian Institute was able to turn losses into profits this year, and what kind of breakthrough they made was definitely not a small breakthrough, and a small breakthrough was not a big deal with such a high profit, and everyone was very curious.

"Pippen, tell me about your side" Xu Ping'an said with a smile, and Pippen stood up.

"President, colleagues, we, the Austrian Institute of Biologics, spend 940 million euros a year, apply for 1,827 patents a year, 831 have been approved, and the rest will be approved slowly."

"With a total annual revenue of 210 million euros, we have a lot of losses, but we have some successes to make breakthroughs, and we guarantee to provide Poseidon with a minimum of three new products this year, which are unique in the world."

"I think, General Manager Kyle has to have a treat" Pippen said and smiled, including Xu Ping'an, and Kyle smiled brightly and gave Pippen a thumbs up.

"This year, we expect to exceed 500 million euros in revenue from patent licensing, which is our goal, and we will do our best to achieve this goal," Pippen briefed.

"Pippen, you can't be proud, turn losses into profits, be proud" Xu Ping'an said with a smile, Pippen smiled and nodded.

Xu Ping'an waved his hand to let Pippen sit down, and everyone gave Pippen a round of applause, understanding what Pippen meant, Poseidon is estimated to hit a new high again this year, and the Institute of Biologics is really awesome.

"Fansheng, tell me about your side" Xu Ping'an said with a smile, and Chen Fansheng stood up.

"President, colleagues, the Celestial Empire Renewable Resources Research Institute spent 7.8 billion yuan last year, and the patent licensing income was only more than 20 million, and the loss was very serious, and throughout the year, we applied for 1,822 patents, and 893 were approved."

"This year, we will generate more than 100 million in revenue, and the number of patent applications will reach a new high, and at the same time strive to achieve several major results and reduce losses in an all-round way" Chen Fansheng's report is also very concise.

"Don't be lazy, 100 million income is not enough, the minimum is 300 million, understand" Xu Ping'an said with a smile, Chen Fansheng nodded with a smile.

Xu Ping'an waved his hand to let Chen Fansheng sit down, and everyone applauded, it was really unexpected that the Celestial Empire could obtain so many patents, and it seemed that the Celestial Empire's Renewable Resources Research Institute was starting to get on the right track.

"Buck, Chen Qilin, you two departments are special, come to my villa tomorrow and report to me alone" Xu Ping'an looked at the two and said.

"Yes," the two stood up and said, Xu Ping'an waved his hand to let the two sit down.

Xu Ping'an looked at Nils, Bruce, Huo Minghai and Wu Sikai, and all four of them shook their heads, indicating that they didn't want to say anything.

"Thank you for your hard work last year, your hard work will be reflected in the year-end bonus, this is what you deserve, I have a very generous bonus here, whether you want to receive it or not, it's up to you" Xu Ping'an looked at everyone and said slowly.

Everyone laughed, what they were looking forward to after a hard year was today, and the year-end bonus was issued, and all the hard work was rewarded.

"A lot of things happened last year, some good and some bad, we have all passed these storms one by one, can we just sit back and relax, I don't think it will work, because commercial espionage will not be broken"

"This requires us to work together to safeguard the interests of the company and maintain due vigilance, and a small negligence may bring us billions or even tens of billions of euros in losses."

"Just now everyone has heard that our profits, it is a lot, but our expenses are very large, there is still a part of the investment costs that have not been announced, after deducting all taxes and fees, half of our net profits are spent on scientific research"

"The rise of the Apocalypse Group is inseparable from scientific research, and here I would like to thank Dr. Luck and General Manager Kyle, it was Dr. Luck who invented super fish oil in exchange for the rise of our Apocalypse Group."

"Of course, this is inseparable from General Manager Kyle's contribution, so this year, I adjusted General Manager Kyle's year-end bonus, increased by 5 million euros, and at the same time, awarded Dr. Luck 5 million euros, this fee was given to Dr. Luck by General Manager Kyle on my behalf" Xu Ping'an looked at everyone and said.

"Rest assured, Boss, Dr. Luck will be more than happy to accept this bonus," Kyle said earnestly, standing up.

Kyle and Dr. Luck are old friends, and he is very happy for Dr. Luck, and at the same time, he also recognizes Xu Ping'an's human touch very much, and his sense of belonging to the Apocalypse Group is even higher.

Xu Ping'an smiled and waved his hand to let Kyle sit down, "Tomorrow you will have a day off, and the day after tomorrow, take this year's plan to my villa and talk to me one-on-one, here today, the company has arranged a banquet, you let go of eating and drinking"

"If you drink too much, someone will send you back to the hotel, and the year-end bonus will be issued tomorrow" Xu Ping'an said with a smile, and everyone laughed.

When Xu Ping'an left the conference room, the rest of the people left the conference room in twos and threes, and there were vehicles waiting below, and they got in the car and drove to the restaurant together.

J is the best restaurant, today by the Apocalypse Group, just a little request, take out your best dishes, the price is not a problem, if the taste is not good, that is the problem, you must use high-end ingredients.

There are three tables, the dishes come up, the wine comes up, more than a dozen kinds of wine and juice, you can choose freely, Xu Ping'an also let go today, touched a glass with everyone, drank a lot, and finally was carried by Xu Zhengyang to the villa.

Liu Wenjun also followed back to the villa, and after entering the villa, he was stunned, and the two Western men were drinking tea in the living room, and when they saw Xu Ping'an drinking too much, they smiled and didn't care about it.

When did these two people come to the villa, why didn't they know, Liu Wenjun was very surprised, although he was very surprised, he didn't bring it out at all, and put Xu Ping'an on the bed with Xu Zhengyang, covered it with a quilt, and brewed a cup of honey water and put it at the head of the bed, and then left with everyone.

Back in his room, Liu Wenjun made a cup of tea and thought slowly, Xu Ping'an's itinerary was arranged by himself, and now there are two more people in the villa but they don't know, it can be seen that Xu Ping'an has another contact channel in his hand.

Who are these two people, Xu Zhengyang didn't even ask when he saw it, obviously Xu Zhengyang and the housekeeper both knew, but he didn't know, it seemed that he had not yet entered the real core of the Apocalypse Group.

Liu Wenjun drank tea and thought slowly, how to become the real core, and thought for a long time, did he really want to take that step, just thinking of this, his face was red, and he quickly put aside this thought.

The night passed, and Xu Ping'an got up early the next day, had breakfast after exercising, Liu Wenjun and the two big men he didn't know also accompanied Xu Ping'an for breakfast, and Buck and Chen Qilin came over.

Buck and Chen Qilin hugged the two people very cordially, and the four of them accompanied Xu Ping'an upstairs to the study with a smile, in the study, the window opened and several people began to swallow clouds and smoke, and Xu Ping'an began to boil water to make tea.

"Gavin, what's the situation over there," Xu Ping'an asked.

"Boss, everything is fine, we have a way to get a lot of money coming in every month," Gavin said with a smile.

"This year, you have a task, to support a person who can succeed Balamanm, Balamam, he can disappear" Xu Ping'an looked at Gavin and said slowly, everyone was stunned.

"Does he have a problem?" asked Gavin, with a grimace.

"Two weeks ago, he had a secret contact with the Americans, and according to the information I received, his conversation with the Americans mentioned your base, just in case, prepare in advance," Xu Ping'an said calmly.
