Chapter 271: Dividends

An Feng also saw his office as he wished.

The office is located at the front of the top floor of the building and is divided into two areas: inside and outside. The glass door enters the outer area, and there is a desk facing the door, which is also the office area for secretaries and assistants, with several round-edged soft chairs and glass tables, and some evergreen plants to add some greenery.

Passing through the outer area, you will come to the lounge, where the air is fresher, thanks to the indoor plants, a few soft chairs on the wall, and a set of table football for fun when you are bored. You can also stand in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, which can be opened.

The overhead vents adopt the dual mode of inner grille and outer grille, which ensures ventilation while also taking into account safety insurance. Professionally, there is a built-in motion sensor that will automatically alarm any large creatures moving inside.

Turn left from the lounge, go up two flights of stairs, and behind the automatic door is An Feng's office.

Eve explains: "There are a lot of voice-activated devices in the office, such as lighting and air conditioning. It's also very easy to use. ”

The office is spacious, but minimalist, with a thin layer of black desks with a monitor and two telephones. There are some books on the bookshelf next to it, which are probably not expected to be read by anyone, probably in the background when receiving guests.

This is the highest twelfth floor, with floor-to-ceiling windows looking out onto the lawn and calm lake, as well as the occasional passing pedestrian and distant cityscape below.

An Feng returned to the boss's chair and sat down, ergonomic design, with a variety of massage methods, An Feng turned around and said, "Lamp!" ”

The lights were all lit, and Eve in front of her said, "Sir, you can add some voice-activated items." Control the light or brightness in certain areas. ”

An Feng clicked on the desktop computer, and the control software was inside.

Eve also showed him the new technology, she picked up the remote control and pressed it, and the wall in front of An Feng gradually turned into a natural and elegant landscape painting, and she pressed it again, and it turned into a beautiful scenery of snowy mountains. It's still dynamic. The scenery from all over the world is realistically displayed on the wide wall.

There is even a change in the sound and the air conditioner, the temperature of the room, the smell of the room.

"The screen is the crystallization of graphene technology, and the realistic display effect is a major feat of the company's development of display chips.

An Feng smiled: "This is the rhythm that makes me unable to leave the office." ”

Eve said, "If a gentleman can stay for a long time, the people who provide the ideas are the biggest contributors." We all have to thank him. ”

"I'm glad you said that." An Feng smiled, clicked his fingers on the computer screen a few times, and then transferred the screen to the desktop - in fact, the table is a large touch screen. Press play to show an elegant swan dance on the wall, and then switch to a movie video.

"If it's a three-dimensional projection, it's perfect." An Feng said.

"I'm sure it will happen sooner or later." Eve said, "Isn't that the technical expert that Mr. brought this time for this purpose? ”

"That's right." An Feng nodded.

……

In addition to the experience, Eve reported a little business.

It's the middle of January, and it's also the day when companies calculate their annual operating profits. The results have already been obtained, which are displayed on the wall in the form of an electronic ledger. Eve, who was familiar with finances, sat aside and explained to him. Information about the company's operations in the last fiscal year, revenue, etc.

GP's biggest source of profit is its subsidiary, of which GP Energy accounts for a large proportion, and GP Electronics only operated in the fourth quarter of last year, and its earnings are not good. GP Energy's battery turnover reached US$11.8 billion and net profit was US$4 billion. Net profit margin reached 34%.

GP Energy's net profit margin is very high, which means that it is very profitable, while 10% of large enterprises can be high-quality, and high-tech enterprises are relatively high, such as Apple and Microsoft. Generally around 20%, this year Apple has 32%, which is one of the most profitable companies in the industry.

High-tech companies make profits, but in other fields, such as oil, the profit margin of giants is 5%, or even 1%......

GP Electronics operated relatively late, but after four months of operation, it also delivered a batch of minicomputers and servers, with a turnover of 1.5 billion US dollars and a profit of 450 million, which is also more than 30%, mainly because the market has not opened, otherwise the chip will not be weaker than the battery.

And the separate licensing fees, such as Apple's $2 billion, are used for business spending, which means that the two subsidiaries can distribute profits of $4.45 billion after deducting the provident fund, and after leaving some for budgeting, 4.2 billion profits will be distributed.

According to some recent adjustments by the headquarters GP company, it increased its stake in GP Energy to 53%, GP chip to 55%, and the distributable profit was 2.23 billion, and An Feng accounted for 51% of GP's shares, which means that he was able to take 1.13 billion dividends from the operation of the previous year.

When this number was obtained, An Feng was in a good mood.

After waiting for more than two years, the company finally brought profits to itself, although it is not too high, but with reference to the market growth rate in recent years, as well as the successive operation of the second and third battery workshops, the turnover will exceed 100 billion sooner or later, and the profit will reach two or three hundred billion, and the future is very good.

After the dividends were completed, An Feng learned that GP Energy was currently in the matter of advertising titles, and Nazca's Joe. Gibbs Racing has agreed that the GP Energy logo will appear on the cars and driver apparel for this year's race, expanding the publicity and raising the profile.

Once the sponsorship of a racing event is complete, the GP can do another job – to acquire the car brand.

He held a video conference with the company's major shareholders in his office.

The directors of the company have considered the three brands that Anfeng has provided advice on, and have analyzed them in terms of influence, operation and value, and it is clear that Porsche is the best in all aspects, followed by Maserati and then Aston. Martin; The same is true in terms of value.

Aston. Martin's global sales are not high, and the brand value and recognition are not as good as the first two, not to mention Porsche. The annual sales exceeded 100,000 and the turnover was 15 billion US dollars, and the Maserati sold 20,000 vehicles, ranking first in the United States.

Porsche operates in a wide range of areas, from entry-level sports cars to supercars to sedans. SUVs are all involved; Maserati is dominated by luxury sedans, with the President and Ghibli accounting for 70% of its production, followed by sports cars; As for Aston Martin, it sells in the mid-500s, mainly sports cars, and its competitive targets are not specific, often overpriced – but the net profit margin is very high, at 32%.

Each brand has bright spots, and it is more difficult to choose.

Considering that batteries are a new technology. It has to be reflected in performance, so the Aston Martin, which has a strong gentleman's pedigree, lacks explosiveness and is temporarily ruled out. Following Porsche, the German Volkswagen did not want to sell, because the price was very insincere, 20 billion dollars.

After returning to Maserati, the Fiat Group is also doing well, and its Ferrari and Maserati are very profitable. Chrysler, which is fully controlled, has brought it a number of brands such as Jeep, Dodge, and RAM, and can be described as the seventh largest automobile group in the world.

A director of the company said: "Chrysler is heavily in debt. To a certain extent, Fiat has dragged down Fiat, and if they want to compete with the major giants in the field of pure electric vehicles, they must learn to make trade-offs, sell Maserati, integrate the overlapping industries, and obtain funds for redevelopment. ”

"Maserati has market potential. The acquisition is estimated at about $3.5 billion to $4.5 billion, which is also affordable for the company's finances. Aston Martin is cheap, but the market is limited; Porsche is the best, but Volkswagen clearly disagrees. And the EU is also a problem. ”

An Feng asked, "Your suggestion is Maserati?" ”

The director nodded, "That's my opinion." ”

"Let's vote." An Feng said.

An Feng looked at the result, he had a veto on this matter, even if everyone agreed, he objected, and the directors did not hesitate.

But he also raised his hand after the last moment.

Maserati is good, the experience of luxury cars is much better than that of Tesla, and there are sports cars and professional events, which can also satisfy his personal wishes.

The next step was to think about how to relent.

……

After returning to California, his personal accountant Hardy. Locke brought good news, first of all, HG's profits were also distributed, and secondly, Meisheng's sales profits were also his own. Hadi explained some details and the source of funds to An Feng in San Raphael.

HG's 25% share of weight loss pills brought him 110 million in revenue, which is very impressive, and Meisheng's 14% profit share is more powerful, directly bringing in 450 million profits, which is still the situation that Meisheng has spent too much this year. And in June, they also have to give him a salary of 2 billion.

In addition, although the research center does not expect to have much dividends, but in the field of cancer treatment, the income is quite rich, in addition to the necessary expenditures, there are more than 20 million left in An Feng's pocket, although it is not much for the current An Feng, but it is also a value-added project.

Further predictions, anti-cancer drugs will also be paid by Sinclair within this year's 3 billion, all of which add up, and the total revenue expected this year will be 6.69 billion, with a potential personal tax of 2 billion US dollars - of course, there will not be such a stupid person who can deduct too many items.

By the end of January, most of the funds had arrived.

If you are not a member of the consortium and control the Express Company, I am afraid that those account managers will still have to worry about themselves, what funds, bonds and the like, in short, don't put the money in the bank and other depreciation, or deduct so much personal income tax from the tax bureau in vain, there are many reasons.

But now that his ears are clear, he has a lot of time to plan his own consumption.

First of all, the inevitable expenditure of the project, the racecourse has to spend at least 250 million, the velodrome has 300 million, and the cruise ship has 1.4 billion, which is a lot empty. But there are still a lot left, and Anfeng still has to consider some deductible projects, and commercial investment is the most suitable, and the U.S. government also encourages it.

First of all, robots and superconductors are two important items, it is estimated that you have to buy land, build factories and the like, and then go to the hunting ground in Texas, and it will cost a lot of money to dig a hole-proof hole, and you also need money in a private resort on St. Kitts Island, followed by the publicity of Bida.

The bio-beverage FDA test has passed, the production workshop has reached the standard, and it is expected to be produced in the second quarter of this year, and some of the funds from the Brulane family venture capital can be used for TV commercials. On An Feng's side, he can also continue to make additional investments to create a celebrity effect. (To be continued......)
