Chapter 82: Friends have a lot to do
At the end of October, Lu Yu once again sorted out the development plan of the entire set of software from scratch.
At the current rate, it is estimated that in more than ten days, my approximate work will be completed.
All that remains is for Yunhan Technology, a program ape team of nearly 400 people, to continue to supplement and improve the details and add various plug-ins.
What Lu Yu has to do is to give them some guidance and explanation when they encounter some difficulties.
Calculating the time, from the initial preparation to the end of more than ten days later, Lu Yu has invested in this set of special effects software for almost 3 months.
Coupled with the cooperation of a team of about 400 people, even if it is so, it is only the overall framework and the main modules, and it has not really been developed.
Thinking about it, Lu Yu was a little helpless.
It's just a set of special effects software, and it's already taken so much effort and time.
What about real artificial intelligence?
Lu Yu was a little unexpected.
……
However, Lu Yu was not discouraged, if it was so easy to develop artificial intelligence, those top technology companies on the Blue Star would have succeeded.
First, he obtained the scientific and technological information, and it took less than a year to complete the calculation, and his understanding of the scientific and technological information was not deep enough, at best, he knew a little bit about it.
Second, his current knowledge reserve is far from enough, and the learning of knowledge on Blue Star needs to continue.
Artificial intelligence involves so many disciplines, and many disciplines can now be said to be a blank.
This kind of thing can't be done in a hurry.
After Lu Yu is ready to finish the programming of this set of special effects software, he will come to the company occasionally to solve his doubts.
The rest of the time, continue to study in the library.
As far as his current study is concerned, he reads books in the general sense, although some of them are very professional and profound, but they have not yet touched on the study and research of papers.
Many of the papers represent Bluestar's current cutting-edge technology and cutting-edge research in these professional disciplines.
It's impossible not to see and learn this part.
In addition to dabbling in many disciplines, the more important thing is the study of materials science, after all, it is planned to establish a materials research institute next year.
Lu Yu has only studied materials science in the first place, and he doesn't dare to say that he really understands.
Therefore, before setting up a research institute, it is necessary to strengthen this knowledge.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu twisted his somewhat stiff neck and continued to plunge into the ocean of code.
……
Deng Qiang can be said to have been extremely busy recently.
In addition to the daily management of the company, the most important thing is the investment and construction of the planting base and processing center.
It is necessary to contact the local authorities to discuss in detail the investment and construction, land demand and some related supporting facilities.
Of course, at the same time, seeking some policy support and preferential treatment is also the proper meaning of the topic.
After all, the land for planting bases and processing centers is not a prosperous or key location of land, and there are also requirements for soil quality and water quality.
Often, in such places, the economic development is not very sufficient, except for the cultivation of crops, there is basically no other development value.
And the company now wants to invest in these places and build land that these backward areas would not have taken seriously.
Of course, the local authorities welcome it, and it is only natural that they promise to solve the basic supporting facilities such as roads and give some preferential policies on land use.
……
Interestingly, some local officials were still a little confused when they first received the investment interest.
After learning more about the products of the company, and then looking at their investment plan, it doesn't look like an investment, but it looks like it's specifically for poverty alleviation.
These backward areas, inconvenient transportation, and few supporting facilities, will inevitably increase the transportation costs and operating costs of enterprises.
What's more, the planting base and processing center invested by the company also have a relatively large demand for labor, and the investment intention also promises to recruit most of them locally.
If the local people grow Chinese herbs, as long as they meet the standards, they can also buy them in full.
This can not only bring a lot of employment opportunities to the local area, but also drive the local economic development to a certain extent.
In addition, the investment in planting bases and processing centers is not small, from land leveling, to facility construction, irrigation system laying and so on.
From investment, to construction, to follow-up operations, these backward areas are full of benefits.
Local people can get jobs and economic benefits, and the local government has increased taxes and so on, and it does not cause serious pollution.
Not to mention the commitment to build at least five schools.
This kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing made some local officials a little confused, and repeatedly confirmed and confirmed with Deng Qiang.
Deng Qiang had to emphasize many times that pink, white and black is a company with a sense of social responsibility, and these are all things that should be done.
It was not until the investment contract was signed that the special funds were remitted to the designated bank, which reassured the local authorities.
Afterwards, they said that the more companies that send warmth, the better, and specially gave a commendation to the pink, white and black.
……
Deng Qiang was busy here, constantly going to various places to inspect and negotiate with local officials.
Investment contracts have also been signed, one after another.
Therefore, don't look at the high operating income of the company, and the operating expenses of the enterprise are also high.
In addition to the company's normal operating expenses, there are also raw material hoarding, product inventory accumulation, tax payment, and now continuous large investment.
The company makes money and indeed makes money, but the money earned is basically invested in reproduction.
This is also the only way for enterprises to develop and grow.
Especially now Deng Qiang is also planning to open up overseas markets and go to the basic plate of foreign giant companies to grab food.
It is even more necessary to accelerate the stabilization of the raw material supply chain to cope with the competitive pressure and risks in the future.
Those foreign giant companies are not vegetarians, in case the supply of certain raw materials is cut off, the company's production line will not lie down?
Therefore, self-built planting bases also have to be done.
……
Before and after, Deng Qiang has finalized investment contracts in 12 backward regions, most of which are concentrated in Guizhou Province and less in Shu Province.
It's not that Deng Qiang doesn't want to invest in Shu Province, but there are many industries in Shu Province, and some places are not suitable for growing Chinese herbal medicine.
In addition, the planting base needs to cover a large area, and some Chinese herbal medicines are suitable for growing in mountainous areas, so most of them are concentrated in your province.
After all, since ancient times, it has been a hundred thousand mountains, the land of Miaojiang, and the Chinese herbal medicine is extremely rich.
In the past, because the transportation was very inconvenient, there were relatively few industries of all kinds, and the pollution was relatively light.
At present, the state is vigorously carrying out infrastructure construction, and the transportation conditions have been greatly improved.
If you don't believe it, the most spectacular bridge in the world, nine times out of ten, is in your province, across two mountains and moats, and the bridge is covered with clouds and mist.
For these reasons, it is important to invest in your province.
……
After signing 12 investment contracts, Deng Qiang is ready to slow down first, otherwise if he continues to invest, the company's capital chain will be under pressure.
Don't think that the planting base is just a contract for a piece of land.
From the initial construction to the construction of the facility, to the procurement of equipment for the processing center, as well as the operating expenses such as ongoing labor costs, it is not a small amount.
Although the pink, white and black received more than 6 billion yuan in October, it can't afford to spend so much all the time.
And in order to enter the field of vision of foreign consumers, the company has to prepare a large amount of advertising expenses.
The publicity of foreign markets is not like that in China, where it is easy to use a small cost to reap the maximum effect.
Foreign capital is king, coupled with the blockade of those giant companies, without spending money, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve the expected explosive effect.
What Deng Qiang wants is to be a blockbuster.
Since I used to suppress and not let me play, then I will surprise all foreign consumers when I appear.
……
It is worth mentioning that Deng Qiang and the company's management discussed many times, and finally unanimously decided to release the news of recruiting agents from all over the world in a timely manner after a round of overwhelming publicity.
The foreign market is too complex, and the company is not familiar with the local situation, there are almost no contacts, and various resources are close to none, so it is unlikely to achieve direct sales like in China.
It has become the best choice to recruit some powerful dealers in various countries.
In general, there are two to three dealers at most in a country, depending on the size of the market.
The concession to each dealer is also based on the sales volume, which fluctuates between 10% and 30%.
The more sales, the more profits.
However, it is estimated that few dealers can get 30% of the profit, after all, the production of the company is limited, and it is impossible to supply unlimited quantities.
But even 15 to 20 percent is quite profitable.
You must know that Deng Qiang, a humble gentleman who secretly rubbed his hands, was very kind to exchange the unit currency for a American knife.
That is, for a box of the cheapest face masks, these dealers also have a profit of around $10 to $30.
Figure it out, just a box of masks, the cheapest.
……
Deng Qiang and the company's management know very well that those foreign giant companies don't have more money and more means, but they can't cover the sky with one hand.
Give high profits, there will always be people who will not sell the face of these giants and are willing to work against these giants.
No one is a fool, with such a good effect, the sales volume is definitely not low.
Coupled with such a high profit, a large amount of small money is waving its hands enthusiastically at them.
In a society where foreign capital is everything, making money is the real last word.
Taking a step back, as long as you get the agency, you don't even need to run the market in person, find a few secondary agents, you only need to change hands once, and you can easily make profits in your pocket, and you don't need to bother.
What's the difference with picking up money?
I have to say that Deng Qiang and the current management really understood Mr. Sima Qian's words very thoroughly.
The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit.
You don't need to do it yourself to grab food from the basic plate of your giant companies.
Find a group of partners who like to eat meat in the foreign market, and everyone will come together to make the wind and rain, grab it together, and grab all the meat to eat.
You can also eat very full and eat very fragrant.
……
It is estimated that those giant companies are really a little helpless after knowing Deng Qiang's overall plan.
But that's the reality.
In every group, it is impossible for everyone to be of the same mind.
Because of the different positions, for the sake of their respective interests, it is impossible to work together, and it is not bad if there is no knife from behind.
The larger the group, the more so.
No way, human nature is like this, and no one can change it.
But it is precisely because of this nature that human society has been able to continue to progress.
New groups replace old ones, and the interests of the majority often replace the interests of the minority.
Only then was the entire civilization able to move forward.
