Chapter 124: The Quantum Company

The vastness and complexity of the universe far exceed the limits of human imagination, Xia Fei's description of the universe made everyone full of curiosity and yearning, but unfortunately they did not have the opportunity to experience the mysterious sea of stars in person, and could only imagine those unbelievable existences in the starry sky from Xia Fei's words.

"How is the company doing now?" Xia Fei asked.

Charlie said excitedly: "At present, Quantum's business scope is still limited to buying technology from other planets and investing in other companies in the form of shares, and now we have successfully achieved absolute control of 11 companies such as computer giant IBM, energy giant Mobil, car manufacturer General Motors, and machinery giant Siemens." ”

Xia Fei nodded, the quantum company is the name he personally chosen, under the leadership of Andre and them, it can already be described as brilliant results in half a year, after all, these old enterprises have a lot of influence on the earth, they are like big trees, with dense and complex rhizomes, it is not easy to uproot them.

"At present, our products are mainly supplied to the interior of the earth, and as for interstellar trade, it is only a zero." Charlie said with a shrug.

"There's no need to rush this, let's slowly build up our own production base first, Sarah and Allen I brought this time are planning for the company's next operation, they are both experienced spaceship pilots, they can be instructors, help us train our own spaceship pilots, and form a transport fleet." Xia Fei said.

Xia Fei's idea is to turn the earth into a processing base for incoming materials, buy mineral resources from alien planets and then process them, and then sell the products to all parts of the alliance, after all, there are cheap human resources on the earth, and the production cost is far lower than that of other planets in the alliance.

An efficient transport fleet is essential for interstellar trade, and that's the next most important thing for Quantum.

Wu Long looked very excited, "Great! If there really was a spaceship driving school, I would be the first to sign up! ”

Xia Fei smiled, "Brother Wu, how do you say that you are also the head of security and the first person in charge of the product department of Quantum Company, the vice chairman of the board of directors, your identity is different from the past, you went to be a transport ship pilot, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”

Wu Long sighed and said stupidly: "Hey, I'm almost depressed when I sit in the office all day, if I can fly around the universe like you, it will be happy enough." ”

Wu Long is a big man, and it is indeed a pain for him to bury his head in dealing with official business, but he is loyal enough, in his opinion, he promised Xia Fei to help in the company, this is a kind of contract, and he can't break it no matter what, so he has been working overtime every day to deal with those endless documents.

"Brother Wu, bear with me for a while, and when there is a suitable candidate, I will replace you and let you take the position you like." Xia Fei comforted him.

Wu Long's eyes lit up, and then he laughed, "Actually, I'm just complaining to you, my old mother knows that I am now the vice chairman of the Quantum Company, and she is very happy, she doesn't like me running around all day long, always thinking about me getting married early and living a stable life." ”

"She always wants to invite you to dinner, to be her best osmanthus chicken, or tomorrow I will invite you to eat at home."

"I'd love to try your mother's handiwork, but I'm leaving early tomorrow morning, so I'll wait until next time." Xia Fei said.

"So fast!" Everyone's eyes widened, "You just came back and are leaving?" Can't stay longer? ”

Xia Fei smiled slightly, "I don't have anything to worry about the company having you, besides, we can still contact through the Star Network." ”

Zha thought for a while, "Of course it's good to form your own fleet, but these transport ships need someone to maintain them, and the company's funds are already stretched, so I'm afraid there is no extra money to purchase large transport ships." ”

"I've thought about it." Xia Fei lit up a red tower mountain and said: "I have a few friends in the battleship cemetery, I can buy a few transport ships from them at a low price, and set up a small transport team first, as for the maintenance of the transport ship, I already have a candidate, and I will implement this matter tomorrow." ”

The candidate Xia Fei said was Old Porter's apprentice Proton, his loyalty left a deep impression on Xia Fei, both his skills and character are impeccable, but he is too loyal to Old Porter, it is not easy to dig him into the company, and Xia Fei needs to put some effort into it.

"How much more do you need?" Xia Fei asked.

Charlie began to do rapid calculations in his head, and he has now turned on his mathematical abilities, and is very sensitive to numbers, calculating faster than a computer.

"At present, the company has dozens of technology introduction projects under discussion, all of which are the types of technologies that the earth urgently needs to replace those high-energy-consuming and high-polluting products in the past..."

Xia Fei waved his hand to interrupt Charlie's words, "Charlie, the reason why I put the three of you in such an important position in the company is because of my trust in you, I don't need to know the details, just give me a number." ”

Charlie was very excited after listening to Xia Fei's words, Andre and Wu Long also felt hot, Xia Fei trusted them so much, they couldn't help but feel a strong sense of pride in their hearts.

"Nine thousand-three million star coins, this is the ideal number, enough to put every detail in place, if not so much, we can put some projects on hold for the time being, and wait until there is enough cash flow to implement them." Charlie said.

"No problem, I will transfer 200 million star coins to the company's account in a while, and I will pay for the purchase of the transport ship separately, and it will not occupy the company's working capital." Xia Fei said: "In addition, I have a separate bank account, this account will have some income every month, although it is not much, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, I handed over this account to the company to manage, in case of emergency." ”

Now Xia Fei still has one billion and forty million star coins in cash in his account, and he can afford to invest hundreds of millions of dollars into the company, besides, this company that is still in its embryonic form is like a chicken, one day it will grow up and lay eggs, and these money will never be wasted when invested.

As for the account that Xia Fei said is the income of those poems, now that the poetry storm that swept the entire star field has passed, and the sales volume of each month is gradually declining, and a few million star coins a month is not of much use to Xia Fei, so it is better to hand it over to the company to manage.

The three of them were slightly stunned, 200 million star coins was so easy for Xia Fei to say, it seemed that Xia Fei's net worth was probably even more generous than they expected.

"200 million stars is too much, and the company can't use it yet." Andrei said cautiously.

Xia Fei didn't care, "The most important thing in a company is to have enough liquidity, you can do it well, don't be afraid to spend money, as long as you spend money in the right place, you can always earn it back." ”

Andrei seemed to think of something, he said with some hesitation: "Xia Fei, Federal President Pandev and I have mentioned it more than once, hoping to meet you, and he also wants to participate in the quantum company in the name of the federation, I think the company is under the rule of the federation after all, you might as well consider his suggestion." ”

Xia Fei shook his head resolutely, "See what he does?" I don't have much interest in politicians, and I refuse to participate in the shares, I have my own ideas for the future development of the quantum company, and there will be more restrictions on the future development of the quantum company, and I don't want to explain everything to the shareholders' meeting, that would be too troublesome. ”

"What about the quantum company under the rule of the Federation, our business is legal and reasonable, we pay taxes according to the regulations, we don't need to care too much about these politicians, to be honest, judging from the current performance of the federal government, it has been more than three years since we joined the Pan-Human Alliance, and the earth has not improved much as before."

What Xia Fei said is also true, the current federal government is full of stubborn conservatives, who are both frightened and afraid of alien civilizations, and only think about how to keep their wealth and status, without realizing that the human alliance is actually full of crises.

The most important thing for the earth is to develop its own strength at all costs, the universe is a realistic place, and if you don't have enough strength, you won't have the right to speak, as a native of the earth, Xia Fei is disappointed with the current development progress of the Federation.

Wu Long snorted coldly in his mouth, "Hmph! The people of this group of governments know that they talk good things all day long to fool the citizens, and there is no actual action at all, and so far the entire federation does not even have a single warship of its own, and these people actually say in the national defense report that the federation's defense capability has been greatly improved, and the annual military expenditure is not a lot, but what about combat effectiveness? Is it really up to the fighters to fight with rifles? ”

Xia Fei patted Wu Long on the shoulder and said, "Forget it, what's the use of you sulking here, we might as well do what is in front of us." ”

Charlie said: "Yes, what we have in front of us is much more important than those politics, the next stage of the company is about to enter a period of strategic expansion, at present we can come out of the door but there are not many products, most of them are some outdated small things, even if they are sold to other planets, it will not bring explosive profits, we are now in urgent need of a fist product of our own, to play our own brand." ”

Xia Fei said: "This is not in a hurry, although the product is low-end, as long as it is cheap enough, there will always be a market, what we need now is to gain a firm foothold first, and then we have a certain market share and then carry out industrial upgrading." ”

After a long discussion, the four of them decided to immediately establish a spaceship pilot training school near the federal interstellar airport, as well as a logistics reserve center.

Federal airports are so large that many facilities are idle, and building your own training center and logistics center here can be a huge cost and construction time saving.

Sarah and Allen were responsible for the teaching, and when Xia Fei's first industrial ships arrived, they immediately began to assemble their own transport fleet.

Early the next morning, Xia Fei set off for the battleship graveyard, and the affairs on the earth were left to Andre and the others to do their work, and Xia Fei was happy to be a hands-off shopkeeper.

Sarah and Alan agreed very happily to help Xia Fei form a transport fleet, it was already a lucky enough thing for them to be able to get out of the Wilderness Star Field, although the civilization level of the earth was very low, but compared to the barren Wilderness Star Field, it was like a paradise, at least they would not worry about making a living here.

Two days later, the Vampire slowly landed in the factory of Old Porter in the battleship graveyard, and Xia Fei was greeted only by Proton and a few workers in the factory.

"Huh? Why isn't Uncle Potter here? Xia Fei asked with a smile, handing the gifts he brought to the workers.

Proton sighed, took out a letter from his arms and gave it to Xia Fei, "Look for yourself." ”
