Chapter 760 The lifeline is pinched to death by the Protoss Group!
Chapter 760: The lifeline is pinched by the Xingling Group!
In the conference room of Bach Industrial Group in Yingguo, all the big directors have arrived today, and they must have a meeting to study it.
Currently, there are only two companies on earth that can produce flying giant swords, one is Protoss Group and the other is Bach Industrial Group.
The sales of the Bach Industrial Group's Flying Giant Sword are mainly focused on selling the weapons as new types of weapons after modification. However, at this moment, sales are already facing a continuous decline.
War is the most expensive. In areas where war occurs, both fighting parties no longer have funds to purchase weapons.
According to the data just released by Thomas, many local strongmen are no longer able to pay their subordinates. In this case, they are expected to buy weapons.
A masterful fantasy.
It's not that strong people don't want weapons, but that they don't have money. You can get credit, but you don't need to talk about cash.
All arms dealers dare not make loans on credit. If you give credit today, tomorrow the local strongman will be killed, and your investment will be in vain.
"Everyone, I got another piece of news"
"Xingguang Machinery Manufacturing Group has compressed the production capacity of the flying giant sword into two production lines, freeing up production capacity to fully produce single-person aircraft."
"I had a phone call with Viscount Campbell in London. He told me clearly that he has received an advance payment of more than 700 million pounds and will send the advance payment to Starlight Machinery Manufacturing Group today."
"This is only for Eagle Country, what about other countries and regions?"
"I think our Bach Industry needs to transform."
Thomas had the courage to say these words, and all the big directors frowned after hearing these words. Transformation, transformation so quickly, isn't this tantamount to admitting defeat?
Only 80% of the investment has been recovered, and the remaining 20% has not been recovered, so I am losing money!
"Thomas, is there no other way besides transformation?" Chief Director Gore asked with a frown, feeling extremely disgusted with the idea of transformation.
"have"
"To purchase single-person aircraft patents from Xingling Group, I asked someone to do statistics and found that more than 260 patents need to be purchased, based on the current patent licensing price."
"If you want a one-time buyout, you will need at least 3 billion pounds!"
"If it is just the right to use the patent, it will cost more than 200 million pounds a year, and more than 200 million pounds is a net profit."
Thomas said this bravely, and many people raised their hands to slap their foreheads. Nelson rubbed his head while looking at Thomas.
"Thomas, that's not what you told us when you took the lead in forming the Bach Industrial Group!".
After hearing Nelson's words, many people nodded and looked at Thomas to express their dissatisfaction.
"Gentlemen, I have lost more than any of you!" Thomas said in the same unhappiness, with a ferocious expression on his face, which shocked many people.
"I don't see you losing anything," the big director, Henk, said expressionlessly while leaning on his chair.
"You can't see it because your eyes are only focused on Bach Industrial Group!" Thomas looked at Henk with sharp eyes and said.
The smell of gunpowder was a bit strong, and everyone could see it, and Thomas was also very angry.
"Back then, when Bach Industrial Group was established, in order to obtain the patent authorization from Xingling Group, we made a three-party transaction. I sold our family's core industry, the High-tech Materials Research Institute."
"After the Xingling Group acquired the Institute of Advanced Materials, it spent more than 700 million pounds to completely replace the experimental equipment of the institute, and eliminated more than 100 researchers from more than 400 researchers."
"Then we recruited more than 100 people from major well-known universities to add fresh blood."
"As of the end of last month, the Institute of Advanced Materials has made breakthroughs in twenty-nine new materials. Single-person aircraft can now be commercialized, thanks to breakthroughs in new materials!"
"Four new materials are used in single-person aircraft parts. Xingling Group has authorized two manufacturing companies, and can earn more than 100 million in net profits from these two companies every year."
"According to the information I received, the contract was signed for ten years. If the two companies collapse within ten years, according to the contract, the board members of the two companies will also need to make up for the patent fees paid for ten years."
"Now it seems that there is no possibility of collapse of these two companies. The new materials have a wide range of applications. If nothing else happens, the patent fees paid by the two companies will exceed 200 million euros."
"Per year!"
Thomas said these words through gritted teeth. When the directors heard this, they all looked dumbfounded and looked at Thomas blankly. Now they all understood why Thomas was so resentful.
He personally sold the research institute which made a net profit of 200 million per year. Thomas was lucky that he didn't vomit blood.
These are just two new materials. What about other new materials?
The research institute has made breakthroughs in twenty-nine new materials. After a little calculation of profits, everyone understood Thomas' anger.
"Fortunately, my Alpas Research Institute was not sold to the Protoss Group." Gore said this with a fearful expression on his face.
I have made up my mind to go back after this meeting and allocate a sum of funds to fully upgrade the research institute's equipment. Maybe my research institute will make a breakthrough and earn back the money in a few years.
Moreover, there are huge benefits every year.
When Thomas heard this, he glared at Gore fiercely. Gore smiled after seeing this and stopped talking.
"As far as I know, Dr. Graham from the Alpas Institute has signed a contract with the Royal Netherlands Institute."
"The reason is that the Alpas Research Institute is very shabby."
Thomas narrowed his eyes and said this.
Gore was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened, and he glared at Thomas without saying a word.
The other major directors looked at each other and shook their heads slightly. Thomas had been stimulated to the point of losing his mind. It was a bit too much to hit Gore like this.
"Gentlemen, back to the topic, we are now discussing the future of Bach Industrial Group"
"Thomas, what are you talking about transformation? What products will the company transform to produce? Do you have any plans?" Henk said, which turned everyone's conversation back to the right track.
"have"
"We are transforming to high technology and producing a new generation of optical fiber products"
"Gentlemen, in order to maintain the sustainable development of Bach Industrial Group, we have also acquired some research institutes. Although these institutes have not been established for a long time, the researchers are not very old."
"They are very energetic"
"After Bach Industries injected funds into them, one of their optical fiber products achieved a breakthrough. Its performance is two and three times that of the current similar products. We have 100% patent."
"Gentlemen, it's time for us to use our energy. Think about how much money we can make just by completely replacing fiber optic lines in Europe!"
"If we go to those American markets"
Thomas began to introduce the new project incessantly and asked his assistant to send the information to the directors. What he said meant the same thing.
It is not cost-effective to continue to be a competitor with the Protoss Group. Bypassing the behemoth of the Prostos Group and entering other industries is a new world with a lot of profits.
Thomas really had no choice. From the day the Protoss Group's single-man aircraft press conference was held, Thomas couldn't sleep.
It is very clear in my heart that Bach Industrial Group has no capital to continue to compete with Xingling Group.
The patent needs to be purchased from Xingling Group and the patent fee must be paid every year.
Several key materials for single-person aircraft are also controlled by the Protoss Group. Even if the Protoss Group does not produce them, the patented technology belongs to the Prostos Group.
In a word, Xingling Group said that manufacturers that use new materials to manufacture spare parts would not dare to supply spare parts to Bach Industrial Group.
It can be said that the lifeblood of the Xingling Group has been pinched to death!
Thomas would not be afraid if the leader of the Protoss Group was anyone from China, but the leader of the Protoss Group was Gao Jin.
Gao Jin's gangster methods and ruthlessness are no less than those of Americans, and he will definitely kill you at the critical moment.
No mercy at all!
Looking at the competitors of Xingling Group's products over the years, there are still a few that have either gone bankrupt and died, or are on the road to bankruptcy and death.
Therefore, transformation is necessary, and it is the right decision to avoid continuing to become a competitor of the Protoss Group.
Thomas had no idea what to do with the transformation. When he was feeling irritable, he took a car to inspect a research institute affiliated with Bach Industrial Group, just to relax.
As a result, Thomas was given a surprise by the Light Institute on the outskirts of London.
The new light project within the institute has made a breakthrough, and all patented technologies have been applied for. Of course, this patent is only within the scope of Eagle Country.
In the past, when the Eagle Country did not leave the EU, domestic patents were automatically valid in the EU. This is no longer the case and is only valid in the Eagle Country.
Thomas saw the value of this project at a glance. The cost was lower than the current cost of optical fiber and the efficiency was more than twice that. It was simply a God-sent project.
He immediately made the decision and distributed huge bonuses to five young researchers, and at the same time arranged for personnel to start applying for global patents.
Regardless of the cost, we must obtain global patent certification as quickly as possible.
Meeting the board of directors today and persuading the board of directors to agree to corporate transformation is Thomas's purpose.
The reputation of Bach Industrial Group's flying giant sword is no longer good, and its weaponized sales continue to decline, so it must find new profit growth points.
More importantly, Thomas has realized that continuing to compete with the Protoss Group is a wrong move, and this mistake must be corrected.
If it continues without correcting its mistakes, Bach Industrial Group will not be far from the end of the game.
The directors looked at the documents and listened to Thomas' explanation. They all knew in their hearts that Thomas would not propose the transformation unless they were in a desperate situation.
Although the directors still need to raise some funds, considering the profits of optical fiber, this fund can be invested.
Hope everything goes smoothly this time!
That's all it can do at this stage.
More than an hour later, Thomas answered the questions raised by all the directors, and the Bach Industrial Group's transformation proposal was approved by the board of directors.
