Chapter 825 [Envy, Jealousy, Hatred]

Luo Sheng didn't pay much attention to what happened in the financial capital market recently, and adjusted the strategy of the general direction a little, and how to implement it was handed over to Qin Weimu and Shengfeng Capital to study and formulate the final plan.

The tone is set anyway, and a certain amount of speculation in the market can be tolerated, but overheated financial speculation cannot be allowed.

At the same time, Harvey Gordon used the money he made from his investment in Big A to buy a big white, and dealers in the UK now sell it on shopping sites such as Amazon and deliver it to their door.

At this juncture, online shopping can reduce the risk of exposure.

Harvey Gordon paid 132,800 pounds to order a big white robot very painfully, and he couldn't help but scold the dealer when he placed the order, but he knew that the purchase price of the first batch of big white robots was about 100,000 euros, that is, about 85,000 pounds.

Including the transport costs incurred by the most expensive air freight, the cost of the dealer from the Côte d'Azur could not have exceeded £90,000, in other words, the middleman made about 50% of the profit.

Even if the cost of bidding for new orders some time ago is diluted, it is impossible to make a profit of less than 30%, which is simply a vampire.

How Harvey Gordon wished that the channels of the Cote d'Azur had not been closed, otherwise he would not have spent such a large sum of money and would have been cut again, but there was no way, when the Sequoia pandemic hit, the Cote d'Azur had closed all offline direct sales channels in international markets.

It can be seen that the big white robots exported to the international market, governments will not pay, dealers will not pay for the bill, and they will make a lot of money, so it is naturally unprofitable.

It is the local consumers who pay the bills, and the countries use the national credit as collateral guarantees, in effect passing on the debt to the consumers.

To be precise, let the middle class and the rich class above in various countries pay the bill, Harvey Gordon actually wants to buy Dabai through loans, he is willing to pay interest, so that he can cash out a little less, and the big A mark in his hand is still rising sharply, maybe a day's profit can earn back the interest paid.

However, dealers do not support loans for Dabai products, and further said that banks do not dare to lend at this time.

Therefore, the purchase of Dabai is paid in full, and it is still impossible for the poor in Europe and the United States to afford expensive Dabai robots.

The big white robots that are now appearing in Europe are either bought by the rich or serve public healthcare.

Harvey Gordon's total assets now add up to more than a million pounds, and he belongs to the standard middle class, and the big white robot is expensive but gritted his teeth and can still afford it.

……

This morning, Harvey Gordon was sitting in front of his computer, reading the annual report on the Côte d'Azur, and at the same time waiting for Amazon's courier to deliver to his door, and the ordered Dabai robot should arrive today.

"Oh my God, $1.09 trillion in revenue?!"

Harvey Gordon opened the annual report data just disclosed yesterday on the Cote d'Azur, and was stunned to see this figure, he remembered that the total GDP of the whole of the United Kingdom last year was 290 million US dollars, which is equivalent to one-third of the GDP of the whole of the United Kingdom last year.

The Cote d'Azur last year's annual revenue was 1,092.132 billion US dollars, an increase of 39.83% over the previous year, and the net profit of the sales surge was a direct explosion, and this year's rare direct disclosure of the company's profits, the net profit attributable to the owners of the parent company reached 206.32 billion US dollars.

Revenue and profit both exceeded Wall Street analysts' expectations.

This annual report data allows the world to witness the terrifying growth momentum of the Cote d'Azur company, and every year there are people who shout that the Cote d'Azur is going to reach the ceiling this year, but every year it breaks a new high, and there is no top at all.

This annual report of the Criviera once again broke the Guinness World Record, becoming the first company in the world to have an annual revenue of more than $1 trillion, and the first company in the world to break $100 billion and $200 billion in annual profits.

"The employees of the Cte d'Azur are really envious and jealous, and I am afraid that the number of dividends scored this year will be doubled compared to last year, it is unimaginable."

Harvey Gordon, who saw the data in this annual report, was the envy of Chi Guoguo, and he knew the equity structure model of the Cote d'Azur, where the tens of thousands of employees who joined in the early days were all virtual equity, and as long as they were regular employees and met the performance standards, they could obtain virtual equity and enjoy dividend income.

According to the data disclosed by the Cote d'Azur, the company's largest shareholder is the founder Luo Sheng, who holds 30% of the shares, and has not increased or decreased.

The company's core executives currently hold 11.89% of the total, the employee ownership ratio is 47.7%, and another 10.41% is still in the first batch of option pools.

After the dilution of the shares is divided equally, the new option pool will be pre-added, which will have no impact on all employees, and the shares held by Luo Sheng will be diluted in equal proportions.

At present, the number of employees on the Cote d'Azur is about 1.05 million, and as of the latest allotment, the company's shareholders have reached 87,150, accounting for about 8.3% of the company's total number of employees.

Harvey Gordon, who reads the information in the annual report, is more and more envious and jealous, and the disclosed annual report information shows that last year, the total salary + bonus + bonus paid by the Cote d'Azur company to all employees reached an exaggerated 420 billion US dollars, which is equivalent to sharing nearly half of the company's income in a year with all employees.

The average salary of employees on the Cote d'Azur exceeds the annual salary of 400,000 US dollars (including dividends + bonuses), which is about 2.75 million yuan excluding exchange rate changes.

Even in the Nordic region, it is one of the highest income levels, and with the corresponding stable welfare system, even the citizens of the developed countries of the Nordic countries cannot compare.

If the Cote d'Azur company is regarded as an independent economy, but the entire population is only a little more than a million people, it can generate more than 1 trillion US dollars in annual revenue, which is equivalent to the average annual output value of each company created 1 million US dollars last year, which is more than any independent economy in the world.

This is one of the reasons why everyone wants to work on the Côte d'Azur even if they are crowded.

Harvey Gordon is really envious of those employees of the Cote d'Azur, don't look at him who has made a lot of money in Big A recently, and the stock in his hand has doubled in a few days, but the risk is huge, and once he steps on the thunder, it will only be a matter of a few days.

How can there be a stable and guaranteed job on the Côte d'Azur.

"Ding~"

Just as Harvey Gordon was reading the Côte d'Azur annual report, he heard the ringing of the doorbell, and immediately lifted his spirits, and quickly left the computer desk and walked outside the house.

"It's !! the big white"

Harvey Gordon immediately put on his mask and went to the door with a bottle of spray, and sure enough, there was a large package at the door.

I sprayed disinfectant around the parcel for a week, and after confirming that it was okay, I carried it to the house.

In fact, the sequoia virus is not so exaggerated, it will become inactive after five or six hours in the air, generally speaking, it will not be able to stock after leaving the host for so long, and the water temperature of 80 degrees Celsius can also make the sequoia inactive.

Harvey Gordon unwrapped the package with a look of anticipation, revealing the delicate box and the striking Chalte Azur logo.

Among them, "(●—●)" is the exclusive logo pattern of big white.

When I opened the box further, I saw a big white with a raised salary in front of me, but it was actually a second-hand product, and the code of this big white was AFX7300, and it was the former courier big white robot recalled from Xu Lecheng's hands.

However, the "Liu Qi personality" established by Xu Lecheng has been saved to the cloud, and now this big white has been restored to factory settings.

The quality is definitely no problem, after all, it has only been a few months out of the factory, and the appearance has been refurbished, and Harvey Gordon already knew in advance when he ordered it that this was a model recalled by the Côte d'Azur in Greater China.

However, this is not a big problem, the normal service life of the big white robot is 15 years, and theoretically there is no upper limit, which component is broken and replaced separately, you can follow the technological progress of the Cote d'Azur in the future to replace the accessories for iterative upgrading of software and hardware.

Harvey Gordon has already seen the activation tutorial, and it is very simple, as long as you know how to use a smartphone.

When he took Dabai out of the box, he couldn't help but complain: "It looks like a soft white marshmallow, I didn't expect you to be so heavy......"

Immediately, I rummaged through the box and found the battery module dedicated to Dabai, which was separated during transportation.

Harvey Gordon came to the back of the big white robot, applied a pressure to the inside with his hand, and opened the outer plate, embedding the battery module into the groove and merging it again.

Then he took out his Azure-5 smartphone, clicked on Dabai's APP, logged in to his personal account, entered a string of unique codes, and within a moment, Dabai's "eyes" lit up with a gentle blue halo.

Big White: "The system is activated, and your ID information is logged in." ”

Harvey Gordon knew that the next step was to complete the binding of identity information through face recognition confirmation and voice recognition confirmation, and after completion, he was the owner of Dabai, and immediately came to face Dabai, and said in a straight voice: "Morris!" ”

"My name is Maurice and I'm happy to be the owner's personal assistant."
