"Teacher, this is last month's financial report."

When the time came to September, Shen Lang put a thick stack of forms on Luo Jia's desk, and said in a deep voice: "After the final settlement, Xingchen Washing completed sales of 14.7 billion US dollars in the first month of its establishment, but due to the global large-scale marketing and advertising campaign, we invested more than 5.5 billion US dollars in publicity and distribution funds in that month, plus taxes and cost factors, the net profit was only less than 3 billion US dollars. ”

Shen Lang seemed to report to Luo Jia with some disappointment, and after Luo Jia listened, he showed a surprised expression, three billion dollars net profit? This achievement is really amazing, after all, it is only the first month of the establishment of the Star Wash.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, Luo Jia thought that he would lose money in the first month, but he didn't think that he would still have to make money, I don't know whether to praise Shen Lang's marketing methods, or to lament the madness of female compatriots about beauty.

"According to our observation of the market prospects, when Xingchen is on the right track, even if we estimate it most conservatively, it can bring the company a net profit of no less than $25 billion per month, and a net profit of about $300 billion for the whole year." Shen Lang explained.

Such an exaggerated figure surprised and apprehensive Luo Jia, the annual net profit of 300 billion US dollars is still the most conservative estimate, and if the financial director Lu Tao gets the news, he will definitely hug Shen Lang and cry bitterly.

Lu Tao, the chief financial officer, has been too difficult recently, the space program will not be profitable for the foreseeable five years, and it will be crazy to spend money, on average, at least one trillion US dollars per year.

Of course, Xingchen Technology is rich, but at the same time, Xingchen Technology spends more money, scientists in the company, with the highest salary in the world, enjoy the best treatment in the world, even the house and objects are provided for free, these all need a lot of money as support.

And Xingchen Technology is the world's largest scientific research group, ordinary people think of scientific research, maybe their heads are full of laboratories and rows of complex equipment, but the managers who really operate scientific research groups, think of money, experimental equipment is very expensive, is it good, as big as the hadron collider, as small as the bottles and cans in the chemical laboratory, which one is not smashed out of money?

The so-called scientific research is actually a concentrated struggle between intelligence and capital, how did the hegemony of science and technology in North America come about?

The Oak Ridge National Laboratory alone burned $110 billion in 2018, while there are more than a dozen such laboratories in North America, and there are hundreds of smaller secondary laboratories.

Backward will be beaten, Xingchen Technology is a rising star in the global scientific and technological competition, latecomers must have the consciousness of latecomers, and they must spend more money and invest more scientific research strength than their predecessors, so as to catch up and even surpass Jedi.

At present, the Xingchen science and technology stall is too big, the total number of engineers and researchers was 220,000 last year, but by September this year, it has exceeded 260,000 people, and the hard-hit Japanese and South Korean science and technology circles have come to defect, Luo Jia has the ambition to form a Greater East Asia Alliance to counter Western forces, so he will collect all the orders, so the settling-in allowance and moving expenses paid to new employees this year will be an astonishing number.

The 300 billion yuan a year is just the right time, equivalent to 30% of the annual funding required for the space program, Luo Jia really wants to praise the great women, they are the best! The road to the sea of stars depends on them to raise money!

However, Luo Jia is also worried, because Xingchen washing this time not only makes money from foreigners, but also earns money from compatriots, the price of Pechoin blue and white porcelain vase in China is as high as 1,000 yuan, although it is still cheaper than abroad, but it also breaks the tradition of Xingchen Technology has always sold low prices in China and benefited all compatriots.

"Teacher, you can't say that." After Shen Lang learned of Luo Jia's concerns, he explained seriously: "Carmen vortex Street power generation, a big project that is enough to go down in history forever, have we benefited our compatriots?" ”

Luo Jia was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Of course there is, now the domestic electricity price is a dime a time, which is the lowest in the world, that is, we take the initiative to make profits, if we want to borrow technology to make money, it is not too easy, we can set the electricity price at two cents, which is also the lowest in the world, but our profits will be several times greater." ”

"The reason why we don't do this is because considering that electricity is a people's livelihood project, so that everyone is willing to turn on the air conditioner in the summer, and no longer have to worry about the problem of electricity bills, which can greatly improve the happiness of life, so our Carmen vortex street power generation project, although it is huge, but in fact, you have not made money by selling cosmetics, if this is not considered to benefit the compatriots, what is it?"

Shen Lang nodded, "It is also based on life science technology, if a person is sick, it is our duty to help him treat the disease, and a person feels that he is not beautiful enough, and hopes that we can help her become more beautiful, then there will be a fee, after all, helping everyone become beautiful is an unnecessary added value, not our job." ”

"Teacher, I know your love for your hometown, but now we have a goal, a super goal that is great enough to change the fate of all mankind, and in order to achieve this goal, we should do whatever it takes."

Luo Jia didn't say anything, since he was thirteen years old, Luo Jia had already asked Shen Lang to read Machiavelli, and Shen Lang did not disappoint Luo Jia.

……

In the autumn of the sixth year of the establishment of Xingchen Technology, it is destined not to be calm, in this era when appearance is justice, Pechoin blue and white porcelain once launched, it caused an eighteen-magnitude global earthquake, and its influence even exceeded the space program of Xingchen Technology, and exceeded the epoch-making Carmen vortex street power generation launched by Luo Jia.

This is probably the gap between the ideal and the reality, Luo Jia of course hopes that everyone can love science and believe in science, but in real life, people are most concerned about pork prices and celebrity gossip.

"Damn Xingchen Technology, the price of blue and white porcelain vase cream is so expensive, the old lady can't even afford to drink that cup of milk tea every afternoon."

"Sister, how can you be so wronged by yourself, instead of not drinking milk tea, it is better to let your husband quit smoking, what are the benefits of smoking? The money saved will buy you cosmetics, you will become more and more beautiful, and your husband will have face. ”

"Also, I'm not dressed up to show those stinky men, this money should really be paid by my husband."

In the mall, the two eldest sisters in line exchanged their experience of living at home, although the income was not high, but they were not soft when it came to buying cosmetics, and after buying the three-piece blue and white porcelain set, they took out an extra 1,000 yuan to buy the newly produced Pechoin mask.

A total of five masks, priced at 1,000 yuan, if you use it every day, the minimum monthly consumption is 6,000 yuan, which is definitely not negotiable.

And the female compatriots also live up to expectations, with great enthusiasm, into the incomparably money-burning beauty career, the whole of China, and even the world, all women are like crazy to buy, all kinds of bizarre news continue to break out, shocking.

In a poor area of Africa, in order to raise money to buy cream, the mother forced her underage daughter to marry an eighty-year-old man, and the policewoman of a Southeast Asian country marked her price with a clear price, how long and how deep love can you get from a few bottles of cream, etc.

Anyway, women do everything for the sake of beauty, and they have staged scenes of bizarre human comedies, refreshing everyone's three views again and again.

A considerable number of female compatriots are desperately bankrupt to fund the great space program, a phenomenon that surprises the straight men of Xingchen Technology.

Women can hold up half the sky, it's useless to just talk, at critical moments, they have to be willing to pay money, as long as they pay money, straight men are willing to admit that they are half the sky, and most of them are fine.

……

Paris, the headquarters of the L'Oréal Group.

For the fifth year in a row, L'Oréal has been ranked number one of the most popular employers in France, offering its employees a high salary, as well as 45 days of paid leave, even on weekdays, with only 30 hours of work per week, including an hour of tea in the afternoon.

However, L'Oréal's good days finally came to an abrupt end today, and for the first time in 30 years, L'Oréal's monthly statements showed huge losses, with losses of up to 6.2 billion euros, such an exaggerated figure, shocked the board of directors, and a storm is brewing rapidly.

"What the hell is going on!?" "Since its establishment in 1907, the company has been the largest cosmetics group on the planet, and in the past three decades, due to our successful development of the huge potential Chinese market, the financial statements have been huge profits, and there has never been a loss!" ”

"It's good now, it's a mess! In just one month, 6.2 billion euros were lost!? According to this number, it won't be long before our century-old store will close its doors! Explain, you must explain it to the board! ”

General Manager Tudor tidied up the collar of his shirt, and in the face of the board's questioning, he was actually panicked in his heart, but he still said calmly: "The main reason for the huge loss is because we and Xingchen Washing Group carried out a tragic global confrontation last month. ”

"Maybe the directors didn't notice that the ladies in cheongsams and selling Pechoin cosmetics were stationed outside our group, in all the malls and supermarkets, in the most densely populated areas of every city in the world."

"This kind of ferocious offensive is the typical style of Xingchen Technology, and we, as the chief of the industry, can only offer a more ferocious publicity and promotion offensive than them, so it has caused financial losses."

The directors nodded one after another, although they were separated from the industry, everyone had heard of the name of Xingchen Technology, the barbarians of the Chinese people were very strong, and even the powerful North America was now actively resisting the invasion of China, which showed that they were fierce.

Since Xingchen Technology has begun to challenge L'Oreal's global cosmetics supremacy, L'Oreal must fight back, and it is reasonable to spend some more money for this, resulting in a financial report deficit.

"So, after investing a huge amount of marketing expenses, we have won the war with Xingchen Technology?"

"This month's loss is only temporary, and from next month, everything will be back to normal, right!?"

"Those Chinese people still worship French products, and they will still buy our L'Oréal Group cosmetics like crazy, Mr. Tudor, this should be the case, right?"

The directors questioned one after another, in their opinion, this month's financial report has suffered a huge loss, and so much money has been smashed, how can it be seen that there is some effect, to defend against the onslaught of the eastern black hand, or to drive them back?

At this time, the general manager Tudor could no longer hold back, he was sweating like rain, his wrist twitched one after another, and his right eyelid jumped wildly.

As a professional manager, he knows very well that the good old days of lying down and making money in the West are gone, look at the employees of L'Oreal Group, these French people can get dozens of times the salary of the Chinese, enjoy amazing benefits and holidays, because they are smarter than the Chinese, is it because the French civilization is superior to the Chinese civilization?

I'm afraid not.

It's just that in the process of the industrial revolution in the new century, they are lucky to occupy the first place.

"Mr. Tudor, are you talking!?"

"What's going on now?"

In the face of the silent Tudor, the directors were aggressive.

A bitter smile rose at the corner of his mouth, Tudor sighed weakly, and said in a low voice: "Three years ago, when Xingchen Technology launched the industrial software project, the software department of Dassault Group also thought to us that it would not be long before those Chinese people who tried to stand on their own feet would kneel and beg them to provide software, because with the strength of Chinese people, it is impossible to catch up with the gap of decades in a short period of time. ”

The directors were silent, they seemed to have heard of this, and it was COMAC that used Dassault's computational fluid dynamics software at that time, the only seedling of the Huaxia large aircraft project.

"And now? Has Dassault's software division saved business? Director Roland asked in a deep voice.

"Now?" Tudor shrugged his shoulders, "Dassault no longer has a software department. ”
