Chapter 551 High investment leads to high returns
With the spring flowers and the temperature gradually rising, the competition in the washing product market in Binhai Province has also reached a white-hot state, and the laundry detergent of large and small brands at home and abroad has generally dropped to about one dollar, and they are fighting hard at a loss.
Baicheng Wenhui Famous Daily Chemicals Co., Ltd., a joint venture between inland and Hong Kong, participated in the competition by focusing on low-cost laundry detergent, although it did not make much money, but it was much easier than the various brother washing product companies that lost money and made money.
On the eve of May Day, Geng Wenyang took Han Jianguo and others to the main body, which has been basically completed, and the workers are inspecting the new office building of the group company where the interior decoration is being done.
Lu Qin enthusiastically led them to the elevator to the twenty-eighth floor of the highest place, overlooking the entire urban scenery.
"At the moment, our office building is the tallest building in this area." Lu Qin pointed out the window and said, "When the weather is good, you can see the outer ring road in the east, west, south and north directions of the city from here, and it can be said that the view is excellent!"
Geng Wenyang stood by the window and looked out to the north, the vast plain of Baicheng was in full view, and even the edge of the intersection of the round sky and the place could be clearly seen.
"Well, yes, it's a great place to see the scenery!" Geng Wenyang sighed sincerely.
Du Chengdong, who ran to the south window to look out, suddenly shouted, "Oops! You can see the Baihe Reservoir from here."
"Blow you!" Geng Wenyang didn't believe it at all: "The Baihe Reservoir is at least twenty miles away from us, how can you see it from here?"
"I don't believe you're coming!" Du Chengdong shouted, "I really didn't lie to you!"
Geng Wenyang and the others followed the sound to the window on the south side and looked out of the building, there was indeed a gray-blue water surface on the edge of the sky, and there was a milky white barrage dam that was clearly visible.
"Huh? You can really see it!" Geng Wenyang was surprised, "We can build an observation deck here."
Geng Wenmei proposed, "Yes! Let's get a café or bar here, we can entertain guests, or we can come over and enjoy the scenery ourselves."
"Forget it!" Geng Wenyang said, "I think it's still possible to build a high-end parlor where you can drink tea."
Sun Hao yearned: "If you can enjoy the tea here and talk about business, I think customers will be very satisfied."
Everyone talked excitedly, and Geng Wenyang was concerned: "Mr. Lu, when will the interior decoration be completed?"
Lu Qin estimated: "The progress is a little delayed, I estimate that it will take about half a year."
"So we can move in on October 1st this year?" Liu Qing on the side said anxiously.
Lu Qin smiled, "No! I just finished the renovation and then moved in, so I had to dry it for two or three months to disperse the smell."
Geng Wenyang answered, "Yes! The newly renovated ones will smell a little bit, and the new furniture will have to disperse the smell, so let's move here around New Year's Day next year."
The chairman set a date, but Lu Qin didn't dare not listen, so he hurriedly said, "No problem, I will definitely be able to move over around New Year's Day."
Gan Ruolan stayed in the capital with her children all year round, and usually did not have the energy to take care of the security company and two schools and other units she was responsible for, so Geng Wenyang had to assign authority to Zheng Qunli.
With the relocation of the new office building in mind, he couldn't help but be concerned about the progress of upgrading the e-school to a higher vocational college, and turned to Zheng Qunli and asked, "Mr. Zheng, how is the promotion of the e-school?"
"I have already reported the materials to the Provincial Department of Education last month, and according to the plan, an audit team will be dispatched to conduct a comprehensive review and evaluation of the school in two months," said Zheng.
"This is the most important thing right now." Geng Wenyang advised: "With the gradual expansion of colleges and universities, if we do not upgrade to higher vocational colleges in time, we will soon face the problem of insufficient students. When that happens, it's too late to figure out how to upgrade."
Zheng Qunli hurriedly said, "Yes! I will urge Principal Gu to hurry up."
After inspecting the new office building, he called Zheng Qunli to the Electronic Industry School of the High-tech Zone to inspect its upgrade preparations in the afternoon, and also held a discussion with Yu Hong, the technical director of the high-tech R&D center, and others.
With the joining of many masters and doctors in the high-tech R&D center and the merger of Haixi Wenyang Vocational and Technical School, the electronic industry school has been greatly enhanced in terms of faculty and school scale, and all indicators have been met.
Gu Shan took the two leaders to inspect the various buildings on the campus one by one. Zheng Qunli took the opportunity to ask: "Mr. Geng, the R&D center has spent more than 50 million yuan in just a few months since its establishment, and the total cost of preliminary preparations has exceeded more than 60 million, is it a bit too much?"
"Not much!" Geng Wenyang said: "High-tech R&D is characterized by more investment and more money, otherwise why can't ordinary enterprises do this work? Because I don't have enough strength to support it."
"However......" Zheng Qunli has always been engaged in distribution and trade, and he only has a secondary school degree, so he does not know much about the difficulty of science and technology research and development, and some complained: "We pay attention to the corresponding output of our input. I see that more than 60 million of them have been thrown in, and there has been no movement so far."
Geng Wenyang had to explain: "If you want to make a move if you invest 60 million, you are too anxious. If you want to achieve success in the microelectronics industry, it is difficult to achieve results without smashing into tens of billions of dollars."
Tens or even tens of billions!? Zheng Qunli was surprised: "Such a large investment will not affect the normal operation of our group company, right?"
Binhai Wenyang Holding Group Co., Ltd. completed an output value of 2.8 billion yuan and a net profit of 4.2 billion yuan last year. If it is calculated according to the investment of 10 billion, almost all the profits of the group company in 234 years will be invested. According to this inference, it is no surprise that a high-tech R&D center will drag down or even collapse the entire group of more than 20,000 people.
Zheng Qunli finally lived a decent life of five people and six people, but he didn't want to return to the pre-liberation period again because of a R&D center.
Geng Wenyang smiled, "What kind of heart do you have? It's not a one-time investment. I think we will be able to invest so much in the next 20 years."
According to Zheng Qunli's calculation just now, this money is not small when amortized over the next 20 years. He couldn't help but persuade: "Mr. Geng, if all the company's profits are invested in the R&D center, it will inevitably affect the future development of our own group company. I think it's better to be cautious!"
"Everything is evolving." Geng patiently explained, "Soon the electronics industry will be the most profitable business. The amount of money we've invested seems like a lot, but once the development is successful, the return will be unprecedented."
"When that time comes......" he said with a smile, "you'll be glad we've made the decision now."
"Really?" Zheng Qunli was still a little reassuring and said, "If you can make a lot of money, that's the best! But now ......."
"Don't!" Geng Wenyang pointed to the R&D center building in front of him and said, "You can just use this place as an incubator for our golden eggs!"
Incubator for golden eggs? Zheng Qunli said, "I think it's more appropriate to call it a gluttonous beast that swallows money."
