With the mentality of watching the excitement, we will temporarily wait and see the recent predicament of Boeing.

In fact, Han Chudong is ready to buy some Boeing shares through Mason Private Equity Fund after raising funds from outside the company next time, but this does not mean that he must be merciful when bargaining.

As he came up with the idea of withholding some of the fees, the negotiations ran into a stall for a while.

After the small management of Boeing used the phone to communicate with the boss, they decisively agreed to waive the "lost work fee" with a price tag of 600,000 US dollars, and then talked about the design style and the renovation of the warehouse, and the lawyers of both parties will sign a three-party sales entrustment agreement according to the negotiation results.

Assistant Arthur helped send away Pan Am and Boeing, and then entered Han Chudong's office and asked curiously: "I remember that when you had a meeting last month, you told the chief financial officer to reduce unnecessary expenses, so this Boeing 747 big plane?"

"It's my personal interest, and you can enjoy it in the future, so I think it's important to buy one. ”

Han Chudong himself knew that this was an unnecessary expense, but he still wanted to buy it, so he changed the topic and said: "I visited Paul Getty's house last night, the atmosphere of being filled with historical relics is very interesting, you go and help me find a group of professional cultural relics experts and antique trading brokers, I plan to invest some money to collect a batch after getting a loan from Citibank." ”

"Approximately how much?"

"Five million to ten million dollars, depending on what to buy, for the time being, it will be attached to the company's name. ”

The assets under his own name and the company's assets, there is not much difference between the two in Han Chudong's eyes, anyway, Mason United Group is a sole proprietorship, and all the shares are in his hands.

Spending money in the name of the company can be deducted from taxes, and if you take money out of the company, you need to pay a large amount of personal income tax, which is a loss no matter how you calculate it.

Assistant Arthur thought that Han Chudong planned to allocate assets reasonably and consider long-term interests, and he also thought it was necessary.

Carefully put this matter in the notebook, and only then asked, "What is the matter with the loan from Citibank." ”

"By the way, I forgot to tell you, I met with someone from Citibank last night, and I should have given me a $200 million loan recently, and I'll have a meeting later to announce how to use the money. ”

“……”

Assistant Arthur had a slight headache, he knew very well how much the company's loan amounted, and told: "If we continue to borrow, we will have to pay nearly 200,000 US dollars a day in interest alone." ”

"What are you afraid of, the value of assets is rising much faster than the interest rate on loans. What's more, the U.S. dollar has depreciated so rapidly recently, even if it is to learn from other companies to pay off old debts with new accounts, even if I wait for the 200 million U.S. dollars to get my hands, I still think that the overall debt ratio is too low, which is not conducive to the development of the company. ”

While speaking, Han Chudong picked up today's schedule and looked at it, and said in surprise: "Advance the arrangement at half past ten, how long has it been since the trolley box has been manufactured?"

"Isn't it just a box with four wheels under it, a few days ago you were on vacation in Yueben, I saw the design drawings, sent them to the patent office to apply for the record, and also went to other countries to submit applications. Isn't it great to hear that the International Patent Union is preparing to implement a plan to simplify the application process, so that you can apply for a variety of patents in other countries in the United States. ”

"It's really great, hurry up and bring me the sample to test, this thing should help me make a lot of money!"

————————

Others thought that Han Chudong relied on his brain and earned his current worth through research and development.

That's right, to some extent.

It's just that he is standing on the shoulders of giants, tirelessly tinkering with the things that are common in the future but not yet available, and using this to accumulate capital and achieve a huge leap.

The overall scale of the Mason United Group is really not small, the number of employees in the headquarters, plus other industries in other places, has exceeded 4,000, and is still increasing rapidly, the number of executives who have received an annual salary of more than 30,000 US dollars alone has more than 80 executives, and there are more than 20 annual salaries of more than 100,000 US dollars.

For example, Dyson, the general director of Mason Labs, used to be an executive at Bell Labs, and he received an annual salary of $120,000 just after he jumped over, and there are other benefits including year-end bonuses.

Mr. Dyson's main job is to coordinate the Toy R&D team, the beauty R&D team, the home appliance R&D team, and communicate with the R&D project leader of Aurora Games, and recently a luxury design project team.

In Dyson's eyes, Han Chudong undoubtedly belongs to the type of person who has wild ideas, and from time to time he will throw a project to him, and he is responsible for making the finished product.

For example, the recent trolley case, as well as the hand-held children's skateboard, etc., the most task is the home appliance research and development department, today let the design of a siphon coffee pot, tomorrow let the design of a table lamp with adjustable brightness, the research and development of a new ballpoint pen is also within the scope of the design, but also to get what to adjust the human posture of the restraint belt, etc., said that it will be sold in the storm electrical store, self-produced and sold.

Since being recruited by a headhunting company more than two months ago, he has received 13 large and small projects, among which the most inexplicable for Mr. Dyson is the lithium battery R&D research and development plan.

Although I have heard that Han Chudong has earned more than 10 million US dollars from dry battery patents, Dyson does not think that this project can be successful.

Mason Lab was established as early as last year, and currently has a total of more than 300 employees, whose fame is overshadowed by Han Chudong's personal achievements, and few people know that it exists, and it belongs to a subsidiary of Mason United Group.

The marketing departments of each subsidiary were integrated and separated, as was the R&D department.

Occasionally, Dyson will feel that he is like the magic wand in Han Chudong's hand, throwing it directly to him when he needs it, never thinking about whether it can really be realized, and the last time he heard that he might have to develop a personal computer, he was so worried that he didn't sleep well all night.

When he contacted the headhunting company, Dyson didn't know that Han Chudong was so capable of doing things.

The only benefit is that the R&D funds are relatively sufficient and the salaries of employees are paid on time.

Now.

Dyson dragged his suitcase all the way to Han Chudong's office.

I didn't mention the trolley box, and complained first: "Boss, the lithium battery project must be yellow, I recruited a few talents with battery research and development experience, they don't know where to start, why do you have to develop a battery with lithium as a raw material? There is no research in this area at all, no one has heard of this kind of paper, success, I suggest, or cut the project directly......
