Chapter 720: A Major Breakthrough
"In addition, I will be fined 200 million."
Xu Bin suddenly became anxious: "Why should they be fined?" ”
"It's okay not to pay the fine, anyway, you made a lot of money this time, or don't toss it, so much money is definitely enough to spend, and I promise that no one will hold you accountable for breach of contract."
"Can you just get half of the penalty?"
Xu Dong shook his head: "The punishment notices have been issued, how can there be room for negotiation?" ”
"Third child, aren't you a major shareholder?"
"My shares are not even four percent, and there is a board of directors above, so it is already very face-saving for people to let Sydney's general agent out."
"But 100 million is too much, right?"
Xu Bin was very entangled.
Xu Dong shook his head, indicating that he couldn't help.
After the third child made it clear that he couldn't do anything, Xu Bin gritted his teeth and had to accept the reality.
One is short-term and the other is long-term, and he certainly knows how to choose.
Still, he was a little unwilling.
"Third child, I admit the punishment, can you help me ask for more goods?"
Since you can't make huge profits, then make small profits but sell quickly.
The result is all the same.
Xu Dong spread his hands: "The floods in the first few months have had a great impact on the supply chain, especially the large shortage of chips, and it is estimated that it will not be until the end of the year." ”
"How can this be?"
Xu Bin said with a disappointed face.
Knowing that this was the result, he shouldn't have been clever two days ago, and easily forgave his little niece's 120 million loan.
In fact, if the loan and fines are deducted, he will now have 30 million left, which is just a normal profit.
"Don't be discouraged." Xu Dong hurriedly comforted: "With such a big market as Sydney, at least one million sets of game equipment can be sold, how much profit do you calculate?" ”
Xu Bin hurriedly took out his mobile phone and pressed it.
After some tinkering, he was instantly surprised:
"Damn, there are seven billion?"
Xu Dong couldn't help but cover his forehead, the boss's arithmetic is really good, thinking about it, it is impossible to have such a high profit.
However, he had no intention of correcting the other party.
Sometimes it's a blessing to be confused.
"How? Intrigued, right? ”
Xu Bin nodded again and again: "Third child, it's because my vision is too narrow, I almost missed a big thing, this fine must be paid, we can't lose a big one because of a small one." ”
"If only you figured it out for yourself."
"Lele said that their university has free open classes, and it seems that I have to recharge, otherwise I won't even be able to understand the commercial contract, which is too much of a loss."
Xu Bin rekindled his fighting spirit.
"If you want to go, you can go if you don't understand, you can ask me directly."
Xu Dong looked relieved.
……
Under the strong encouragement of "seven billion", Xu Bin devoted himself to his studies, and in order to facilitate access to materials, he even asked his little niece to help him get a library card from the University of Sydney.
Although it was difficult to learn, the progress was obvious.
Then, the days flew by.
On February 11, the winter break began.
On February 16, there are still two days left before the Spring Festival.
Xu Dong unexpectedly received a good news call from Ye Hui.
"Mr. Ye, what kind of happy event is it?"
"Dong Xu, guess?"
Ye Hui rarely showed her playful side.
"The stock price has risen again?"
After Xu Dong finished speaking, he opened the stock trading software.
Without waiting for Ye Hui to answer, he immediately replied in denial: "No, it only rose by 2% today, is it a research achievement?" ”
"Dong Xu, congratulations on your correct answer."
"What happened?"
Xu Dong didn't show any particular excitement.
Basically, every once in a while, a batch of scientific research results emerge from the laboratory of Xinke Seaweed, the most recent of which was last month.
Under the chairmanship of Professor Huang, the laboratory has successfully developed a special fertilizer for seaweed using volcanic ash, which not only increases seaweed production, but also shortens the growth cycle.
All in all, it can reduce the cost by about a tenth, which is a very remarkable achievement.
It is with this technology that Xinke Seaweed has finally touched the threshold of "turning losses into profits".
Of course, the "turning losses into profits" here refers to the Asian mutual market, and does not include foreign countries.
At present, grain exports are strictly prohibited in Asia.
Seaweed powder is also on the ban list.
At this time, it is no longer meaningful to talk about foreign trade.
Ye Hui couldn't hold back her joy: "Dong Xu, before the flood, didn't I report to you about a bold attempt in the laboratory?" Do you still have an impression? ”
"I remember using nuclear sewage to make seaweed genetically mutated......"
"That's right, this is it."
Ye Hui couldn't help but interrupt.
"Isn't this project a failure?"
Last year's annual report has just come out, and Xu Dong is currently studying it carefully, so he remembers it very clearly.
"Originally, it was a failure, after all, the success rate was too low, and everyone didn't have much expectation at all. But fortunately, Professor Shinyumi Zhuang was more careful, and when he cleaned up the waste, he actually made a major discovery. ”
"Huh? Sounds like the name is a Nisan person? ”
Xu Dong asked.
Ye Hui nodded: "That's right, Professor Zhuang Zhen was originally the chief researcher of Nisang Idemitsu Industrial Company. Later, this company was merged into our company, and the other party joined in, and he had been responsible for the equipment management of the laboratory before. ”
"I remember, the boss of Idemitsu Kosan, Natoshi Kishii, used this company to exchange one percent of the shares with us, and now it seems that it should be earned?"
"It's not just a profit, it's a big profit."
"Yes, you elaborate?"
It was only at this time that Xu Dong really paid attention to it.
"I don't know much about the specifics, there are too many professional terms, I can only give a general idea.
Using the remaining waste seaweed, Professor Zhuang Zhen has successfully cultivated a new variety that has the significant advantage of low demand for light sources.
After preliminary calculations, the cost can be reduced by about 6%, and with Professor Huang's special fertilizer, our company will soon be able to turn losses into profits. ”
"Are you sure?"
Xu Dong suddenly became excited.
Once Xinke Seaweed turns losses into profits, it will definitely usher in a round of explosion, and the foundation of the old Xu family will be stable.
"There is seventy or eighty percent certainty, and further tests are needed." Ye Hui said cautiously.
"When will there be results?"
"Professor Huang, Dr. Alex and others plan to work overtime during the Spring Festival, and the final results will come out by the end of April at the latest."
"Good work."
Xu Dong nodded with satisfaction.
"I don't work very hard, it's those grassroots researchers who work overtime almost every day, and this year I can't even take a holiday for the New Year."
"Mr. Ye, you remember, anyone who stays to work overtime during the Chinese New Year will be paid five times the salary.
In addition, please tell you on my behalf that as long as the test is successful and the company turns losses into profits, the equity incentives promised to them before will be issued immediately.
As for Professor Shinyumi, no matter how the board of directors rewards him, I have decided to give her 0.5 percent of the shares privately. ”
Xu Dong commanded.
The reason why he is so generous is, on the one hand, to boost morale; On the other hand, it is also to win people's hearts and avoid being picked peaches.
