Chapter 944: Greed

The lights are shining, and the song is over. Fire?Ran?Text?? ??? .?

Seeing off the last three or two guests, Atletico raised his head slightly and let out a long sigh, "Well, it's finally over." ”

"It's not all you, if you make soy sauce as usual, how can you have all this trouble?"

The one who answered the call was naturally Tang Jiayi, who was standing under the porch of the hotel with him to see off the guests.

Atletico Madrid was a blockbuster, winning the championship and breaking the record to donate bonuses once completed, becoming a hero among long-distance runners, colleagues in the circle do not say much, the Athletics Association, the Sports Bureau, and the Securities Association also sent congratulatory messages to him, plus the congratulations sent by his personal identity, and for a while it was also full of people and congratulatory guests.

Others congratulate according to the ceremony, the host family naturally can't be stingy, and the celebration banquet is also held one after another, tonight is the third, and it is also the one with the highest specifications.

This can be seen from the dress of the couple, Tang Jiayi is wearing a floor-length skirt, stepping on elegant heels, and although there are few jewelry, it is very shiny, which makes her radiant and beautiful. And Atletico next to her was also dressed formally, with a silk bow tie in a regular manner.

"Hey, that's not what you said before," Atletico said, turning around, laughing and quipping, "where did you go to the Olympics and the guy who told me to go on to other races, even the Olympics?"

was exposed by the other party in person, Tang Jiayi was also a little annoyed, "I was blinded by temporary interests, and now that I have sobered up, I don't think about these anymore." Without further ado, I'll go up there and change my clothes. ”

Without waiting for Atletico to pick up, she turned around and walked into the hotel. Banquet costumes are worn for outsiders to see, and they are beautiful and comfortable, and they are comfortable and relaxed daily clothes. Now that the guests have left, they naturally have to go upstairs to change back.

The slender heel clatters against the marble floor. The sound faded away until it was lost in the background noise of the city.

Looking up at the night sky above the city with few stars, Atletico whispered to himself: "I don't want to do this either, it's completely forced by the situation."

After saying this, he also turned around and walked into the hotel behind him, he was going to take a long-distance flight, and he also needed to change into the dress on his body.

Atletico Madrid is not a sports addict, and he is not too interested in challenging the limits and leaving a name in history, so the reason why he ran to break the record is naturally the fame and attention that comes from it, and this is also a shot in the arm he gave to the bees. After a trip, its own software and hardware products have benefited from it, and the sales have increased a lot.

Looking at the net profit alone, the business situation of the bees is normal, but hidden worries have also surfaced, and a few injections are needed to refresh themselves.

In order to seize the trend and lay a first-mover advantage, bees have been paying attention to emerging fields, such as virtual/mixed reality, wearable devices, balance cars, smart homes, unmanned driving, manned drones, electric vehicles, ARM supercomputing, and the hottest artificial intelligence, Bee has come up with related products. With continuous investment and Atletico Madrid's intentional help, some achievements have been made more or less.

The only problem is that these businesses are still in the development stage, and the overall scale is very limited, and they cannot be leaned on in the short term. Even if the best VR/AR business is developed, it is only a small profit, and the amount of profit cannot be compared with the old three of games, mobile phones, and advertising.

If you're a public company or a start-up, these businesses are great stories for a bright future, and they can be packaged and marketed, so that investors and VCs can do their own thing.

Venture capital plays with high returns to cover high risk, as long as you can invest in ten projects into one or two, relying on the income from profit exit can easily cover all the investment, if a few more successful is worth writing about the blood earnings, naturally do not care about investing in such as "flower e-commerce", "high school student entrepreneurship", "handheld drone" and other novel and beautiful projects with a sense of picture.

Stock market investors also have a similar tendency, although most of the time they have become leek cannon fodder, but the prospect of winning blood is really attractive, and there are many hot parties in the market who are willing to snap up "online game concept stocks", "VR concept stocks", "star concept stocks", and even "New Deal concept stocks", and then be trapped miserably. With them, as long as the packaging is good, even if the loss is serious, you can still go public to make money.

It's a pity that Atletico Madrid's own desire for control has made bees less and less accepting external investment, and relying more on internal financing through the issuance of virtual shares, as well as bank loans and other ways to obtain funds.

Then, inevitably, the bees drift further and further down the path of risk-averse, profit-ensuring conservatism. With the gradual formation of the financial report summarizing the year's operating conditions, there are once again voices within the company that abandon low-profitability and low-prospect businesses and seek to take over.

Atletico knew very well that these voices were actually spoken to themselves. Some people hope that he will take over the server/supercomputing and PC business like taking over drones, electric vehicles, and balance cars, and it would be better if he could also receive the screen and chip business.

The server and PC industry has shown signs of decline due to the rise of cloud computing and the migration of users to mobile networks. It was a completely logical thing to bring up this time, and Atletico Madrid was not surprised at all.

But letting him take over the processor and screen business made him a little unhappy.

The independent processor based on the ARM-V8 instruction set and the only low-power butterfly display with IMAD technology jointly create the strong performance and long battery life of the bee mobile phone, which can be called an irreplaceable victory. Although Qualcomm processors and Sharp displays are also purchased, they cannot shake the core position of the first two.

The reason why these people are clamoring for Atletico Madrid to take over is naturally clear to him, but because he can't stand the higher and higher upfront investment and wants to throttle and stop loss.

With the progress of the manufacturing process, the chip performance is getting stronger and stronger, but the design and manufacturing costs are also rising, and the already small profits of Bee Heart Semiconductor have fallen sharply. The same is true for Butterfly Display, where image quality improvements, specification improvements, and capacity expansion also require large upfront investments, but there is not much profit in the future. Coupled with the slowdown in the growth of the mobile phone and game business and the decline in unit profits revealed in the financial report, in order to maintain the current high profitability, some shareholders and executives have started to throw off the burden.

Of course, these guys are not completely stupid, all they put forward is a large amount of money for chip and screen business needs, and major shareholders are welcome to increase investment, and there is no one who proposes to package and sell, and there is no one who has nothing to do with it again. Bee heart chips and butterfly screens have become the hallmark features of bee mobile phones, and easy to give up is tantamount to self-severing arms, and naturally no one dares to mention it.

In fact, the problems encountered by mobile phones and games, in addition to the bottlenecks encountered in the original market and the sluggish sales growth, are also inseparable from the price increase of components. Although the boom7 fire caused tens of billions of dollars in direct losses, Sansang Electronics' annual performance was not affected in any way, because the price of their memory chips and AMOLED screens increased, and the loss in the embankment was made up for in the embankment.

The memory and flash memory produced by Sansang Electronics account for half and one-third of the global production capacity respectively, and it almost monopolizes the LED screen for mobile phones. The price of these things has risen,Although the relevant manufacturers are annoyed,You still have to buy it,Then the Android camp set off a wave of price increases,Mobile phones are rising、Tablets are rising、TV is also rising。 Consumers' budgets are limited, and there are always a few people who buy more and more expensive, and their performance will naturally decline.

Although bees do not need to buy AM screens, they have a strong dependence on memory chips, and the price increases of key components also affect the performance of companies such as Bee Mobile, Bee Electronics, and Bee Games.

If you give up the bee heart chip and butterfly screen now, the development department and supply chain department of Bee Mobile will inevitably scold your mother. Completely abandon the unwillingness, increase investment and pain, and naturally hit the idea to Atletico Madrid, wanting the latter to be this willing and dedicated pick-up man.

"Hey, I want to eat meat again, and I'm dirty and afraid of trouble and don't want to go to the kitchen, I really want to be beautiful!"

Thinking of these "pig teammates", Atletico Madrid couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

"What's beautiful?" Tang Jiayi's question sounded in his ears, and his tone seemed to be unkind.

Atletico swiped the door and came to the master bedroom, she was standing next to the wardrobe to pick out clothes, and the elegant dress on her body had been taken off and laid flat on the bed, with only nipple patches and T-pants covering the three o'clock on her body. Although he is already an old husband and wife, being broken in like this still makes the latter feel a little annoyed.

Atletico raised his eyebrows and said casually: "I said, you are the same beauty whether you wear clothes or not." ”

The mood of selection was interrupted, Tang Jiayi casually found a loose long-sleeved sportswear to put on her body, and walked over to look at Atletico Madrid: "No! ”

"It's nothing," Atletico shook his head slightly, "I just thought of the lack of greed of some people, and I felt a little emotion in my heart, so I didn't notice that you were still changing your clothes." ”

Hearing him say this, Tang Jiayi's face suddenly turned cloudy and clear, and she scolded in a low voice: "Why are they still biting?

"Heh, where do you think, I'm not talking about clothes," Atletico laughed when he heard this, "but the clothes are fine, even if they want to cancel my results, the city and the Athletics Association will not agree, and after such a big political achievement, I must give up easily?"

"That's right, the million-dollar jackpot has been donated for you, and now you can't recover the results from canceling, and you can't revoke the charity donation. ”

Although his results have only been recognized by the Egret Horse Organizing Committee and the National Athletics Association, the IAAF and the International Road Running Association have not officially expressed their views due to the weekend, but it does not affect Atletico Madrid's huge benefits.

In addition to the surge of individual and corporate fans, the success of the record brought by the super high attention, 1 glasses, wind energy sportswear, custom running shoes, energy gels, etc., although these equipment and materials are customized, but also have a corresponding castration mass production version, taking advantage of this wave of east wind, the search popularity and sales of related products have increased significantly, less increased several times, more even surged dozens of times, so that the bee system and the best environment behind the enterprise is very profitable.

The holo1 holographic glasses shined in the competition, and were welcomed by the market, with 30,000 units sold in two days to set a new sales record. The sales growth of running shoes, sportswear, and even energy gels is also very impressive.

The thing Tang Jiayi mentioned just now is related to sportswear.

Atletico Madrid's sportswear is designed with front and back stitching, the front material has less wind resistance, and the back material has more wind, and with the wind direction prediction system, it can slightly increase the running performance, which is an important part of his score improvement plan.

However, the competition has an exclusive sportswear sponsor, and in order to protect the interests of the latter, it is stipulated that everyone must wear a free event T-shirt printed with the logo of the sponsor company, otherwise it will not be checked and the results will not be officially recognized. Unwilling to give up their shirts, Atletico played a trick on the matter, as three of his companions were wearing original T-shirts, but he was wearing custom-made shirts in similar colours.

For marathons, it is quite common not to wear designated race clothes, because of the size, material, style, etc., many people like to wear their own clothes, and the Tokyo Marathon is famous for the Bikachu and Ultraman running around the streets.

Usually, the organizers don't take this phenomenon too seriously, as long as they don't go too far.

However, this time the situation is obviously different, Atletico Madrid's championship photos spread widely on the Internet, and soon sharp-eyed netizens found that the clothes were greasy. Then there was a media that didn't think it was a big deal to interview the clothing sponsor, although the latter refused to be interviewed, but the report was that "the sponsor was very unhappy and threatened to cancel the results". It is impossible to really cancel it, but the latter obviously does not mind using it to make a name for himself, and does not jump out to dispel the rumors.

"At the end of the day, it's all about profit. For the sake of money, you asked me to sign up for other marathons and give you a six-star slam back. For the sake of money, our minority shareholders tried their best to persuade me to buy shares and even buy bee cores and butterflies. It's understandable that people remain silent and add fuel to the fire, just trying to recover their losses. ”

Ignoring the ridicule in Atletico Madrid's words, Tang Jiayi only stared at the minority shareholders of the bee, "Hey! Other companies are major shareholders who encroach on the rights and interests of minority shareholders, let's be good, we were actually bullied by small shareholders, who will believe it?"

"It's just some tentative words," Atletico shook their heads, "I've already come up with my response, and it's up to us to see how they react." If you still have an opinion, then you can't blame me. ”

"It's long overdue!" Tang Jiayi was not satisfied, "It's just a matter of making up for it now." (To be continued.) )
