Anderson, the general manager of Starlight Mobile Phone Company, stood up and began to report with a smile on his face, "Chairman, colleagues."
"The sales performance of Starlight Mobile Phone Company last year can only be said to be average. This situation has a lot to do with the fact that the sales of our mobile phones exceeded expectations the year before last."
"Although mobile phone sales have declined, our mobile phone ecosystem has achieved historic breakthroughs in profitability."
"Last year, we handed over 5.7 billion euros to the headquarters for the whole year, achieved the reserve target of 20 billion euros, and the company retained 3 billion euros in working capital."
"After years of preparation, we will launch the third-generation Starlight mobile phone this year. This is an epoch-making mobile phone."
"After listing, I hope all colleagues will support me a lot."
Hearing this, Gao Jin couldn't help but laugh. Anderson could do it. He had already done business at the annual meeting. When others saw Gao Jin smiling, they all laughed too.
"Anderson, how much does the third-generation Starlight mobile phone cost?" Gao Jin asked.
"Chairman, we are confident that the cost will be controlled at around US$600 and no more than US$650," Anderson said these words very seriously.
"Is it one version or two versions this time?" Gao Jin continued to ask with a smile on his face.
"a version"
"This version is the result of the joint efforts of the two major R&D groups within the company and Starlight Technology Company. It has great innovation."
“It is not an exaggeration to use the word epoch-making to describe it.”
"us"
“Will redefine smartphones!”
Anderson said these words very confidently. Now, not only Gao Jin was stunned, but others were also stunned. Redefining the meaning of smartphones.
You know, the current smart phones around the world are all developed on the basis of Apple smart phones. It can be said that Apple defines the current smart phones.
It’s not that simple to redefine smartphones. Small changes won’t do, you need ongoing changes!
Gao Jin turned to look at Ge Gongming, who said with a smile, "Chairman, I will report to you after the meeting. Now I can only say that what Anderson said is completely true."
"Okay, I will listen to the report from you two alone tomorrow." After Gao Jin finished speaking, he waved his hand to Anderson. Anderson sat down and everyone began to applaud.
Immediately afterwards, Derrick, the general manager of Starlight Weapons Company, stood up. Gao Jin could see that Derrick was very confident today. I am afraid that he will be a blockbuster this time.
"Chairman, colleagues"
"Starlight Weapons Company turned over 31.8 billion euros in profits from its headquarters last year. We achieved the reserve target of 20 billion euros. Currently, the company retains 5 billion euros in operating funds."
Derrick had just said this, and most of the people, including Gao Jin, were shocked and looked at Derek with incredulous expressions on their faces.
This kind of shocked look made Derek very happy and he enjoyed this kind of goal.
For many years, I have looked at other people with this look every year. This year, I finally feel proud.
Just when Derek was about to continue talking, Gao Jin said, "No need to report the rest. I will report to my house alone tomorrow." After finishing speaking, Gao Jin waved his hand.
Derek nodded and sat down, and everyone applauded in shock. No one expected that Starlight Weapons Company would suddenly exert force.
The profits turned in were second only to Starlight Investment Company!
Ji Xueyi squinted her eyes and glanced at Derek, actually thinking of taking away my first place. Fortunately, she wasn't careless.
After Derrick sat down, Cheng Fangyi, general manager of the Hydrogen Energy Group, stood up and began to make his own report. Compared with the previous companies, the profits were about the same.
Next, the general managers of other companies reported that their profits were less than the last. Although many companies' profits were among the top in China, compared with other subsidiaries, they seemed inadequate.
The meeting was adjourned for two and a half hours at noon and resumed at 2:30 p.m.
When it was the turn of the person in charge of the institute to report, many people frowned unconsciously, wondering why the number of patents obtained by the institute had dropped so much.
To describe it as being cut in half is not an exaggeration at all.
Turning around to look at Gao Jin, he found that Gao Jin's face was relaxed and he didn't mean to blame him at all. Many people began to think about it.
People with quick heads have already figured it out.
It’s not that these research institutes didn’t make breakthroughs, but that the results were sealed.
There are only a few reasons that allow the chairman to make the decision to seal the results.
First, once this achievement is turned into a commodity, it will cause a large-scale wave of unemployment.
Second, this result is too advanced and the cost is difficult to reduce.
Third, this result has huge profits, and it will be temporarily sealed as a heavyweight trump card!
Everyone was thinking this in their heads, but their faces still looked like they were listening attentively. They stood up one by one and continued until Zhou Ziru reported.
When R&D funding reached 50.3 billion euros last year, the "smooth" inhalation sound was programmed on-site.
Many people looked at Gao Jin with fearful eyes. They had only one thought in their mind: Is the chairman crazy?
Fifty billion euros!
How many companies can't make so much money after running for fifty years, so they just invest in research and development? This is too paranoid.
Gao Jin doesn't care what other people think. He is very happy today. The net profit of the entire Xingling Group has reached a new high. It can be said that there was a huge growth last year. This is all due to his confidence.
"The meeting is over, let's have barbecue today"
Gao Jin said with a smile and stood up directly. Everyone felt relaxed. Compared with the previous year, last year's profits had greatly improved.
Everyone followed Gao Jin and left the conference room, and got on the electric car together to return to the resort area. At this moment, the sun was already setting, and the sky was full of red clouds in the west.
When you return to the resort area, go back to prepare yourself and change your clothes. It is definitely not possible to have a barbecue in formal clothes.
We agreed to meet at the beach in thirty minutes to have a barbecue and drink beer.
Gao Jin also returned home, explained to Joanna and Zhou Zongyan, changed into loose clothes and set off.
Everything has been arranged on the seaside, including steak, processed tiger meat, roasted whole lamb, etc., a total of six top-quality ingredients.
Liquor from China, red wine from the world, whiskey, tequila, etc., you can choose from more than 20 kinds of wine, as long as you can drink it.
You can drink wine as you like, eat meat as you like, as long as you don't waste it, everything is free.
Miser also arranged a dance performance, with hula and other tropical folk dances performed one after another. Everyone drank wine and ate meat and shouted.
They are all very relaxed.
Gao Jin stayed for about half an hour and then left. Seeing Gao Jin leave, everyone became more relaxed and the rogue whistle also appeared.
The night passed, and at ten o'clock the next morning, Derek arrived at Gao Jin's place. Gao Jin invited Derek to the large balcony on the second floor to drink tea and chat.
Gao Jin took a cup of tea and asked, "Derek, have you ever thought about the fact that small single-man attack submarines are banned from production?"
"Chairman, I have seriously considered this matter."
"Once there are force majeure factors, I will immediately shut down several production lines and sell the blueprints of small single-man attack submarines to various countries."
"Maximize profits"
"At the same time, I will adjust production capacity and fully produce small torpedoes and decoy bombs. Only we can produce this product, and no other arms company has the production capacity."
"After doing this, Starlight Weapons Company will have a low-key period for about two years. Although profits will drop a lot, they will not form a cliff-like decline."
Derek told the truth, the current sales of small single-man attack submarines are because a certain rogue country has not responded. If it does, it will definitely ban your production at all costs.
Not to mention Starlight Weapons Company, not even the Italian government can handle this kind of pressure.
Therefore, now there is a tacit understanding between the two parties, and the approval process is much more relaxed. As long as you have the money in place and the documents sent are genuine, you will be released immediately and you will be able to place an order with Starlight Weapons Company.
Starlight Weapons Company saw the above approval document and immediately accepted the order and started production after verification.
Both parties know that this kind of business cannot last long, and every day they can make more money is better.
"How many were sold in total last year?" Gao Jin asked with a smile, very satisfied with Derek's answer.
"Boss, last year we delivered 11,000 ships." Derek said this carefully. Gao Jin was stunned, why are there so many? It is impossible to produce so many with the output of Starlight weapons.
"Boss, we have carried out modular production of small single-man attack submarines, and now we are cooperating with 16 large manufacturing groups in Italy."
"They are responsible for producing and assembling some spare parts, and then transporting them to our automated production line for final assembly, so our production speed in the second half of the year is very fast."
After Derek explained it, Gao Jin understood what was going on and gave Derek a thumbs up. He thought that Derek was a smart person.
By cooperating with 16 large-scale manufacturing groups, if there are no orders from Starlight Weapons Company, hundreds of thousands of jobs will be affected in an instant.
The two sides have formed an alliance. Even if the pressure comes in the future, the people on stage will have to think carefully about it.
Once the action is too big, hundreds of thousands of people will be unemployed, and then a chain reaction will occur. No matter which party is in power, no matter which party is in power, it will not be able to bear the consequences.
“How are conventional weapons sales going?”
Gao Jin continued to ask, thinking about how Starlight Weapons Company should transform. Without the support of high-profit products, future transformation will become inevitable.
"Boss, currently, our sales of conventional weapons maintain a weak growth trend."
"Our Starlight automatic rifles can be seen in several war-torn areas, and our market share is gradually and slowly increasing."
"Although our price is higher than AK, the main force of our weapon is much smaller, the accuracy will be much improved, and the weight of the gun is also much lighter than AK."
"These are our advantages and help us slowly increase sales."
"The effect of AK has been accepted by the world. It will take time for us to replace it. As time goes by, our starlight rifle will gradually become mainstream."
Derek said these words very seriously and was very confident about this. The slow growth every month was the source of his confidence.
