Chapter 1129 Whom to Listen to (Part 2)

Do you have that much money? Obviously not. In terms of the company's value, it is estimated that Zhengyifang Technology can now have 20 billion yuan, but in terms of cash investment, I am afraid that killing all employees in the Zhengyifang company will not be able to get it out.

Not to mention that Zhengyifang Technology can't come up with this cash, even the four large-scale group companies with a market value of more than one trillion yuan probably won't be able to come up with so much cash for a while, and they have to give time to raise it.

Zhengyifang Technology is a very profitable company, at least in the past two years. Several major projects, a small company with more than 400 people, had a revenue of 7 to 8 billion last year, and the per capita was close to 20 million. The profit was not that high, but it was still more than 2 billion. Last year's dividends alone amounted to more than one billion yuan, and the remaining several hundred million yuan was used as the company's research and development fund.

But even if there are about 2 billion profits every year, everyone still has to worry about where the research and development expenses come from. There is half of the gap. Even if all shareholders do not pay dividends and devote themselves to research and development, they are still short of money! Or should the money be reinvested according to the share ratio?

Thinking about those projects, several CEOs felt excited and had an urge to invest regardless of the cost. Unfortunately, there is a 10 billion research and development gap, and the remaining 10 billion is still estimated revenue. If the revenue is insufficient, the gap may be even greater. If you really want to invest more, the total amount of funds is equivalent to investing in a large-scale fund of Zhengyifang Technology. It must be discussed at the group meeting and reported to the superiors for approval.

"Do we need to add more funds?" Zhao Xiangbei took the lead and said: "If the additional funds are based on shares, our companies will be at most 300 to 400 million a year, so the pressure is not great. It can be added every year or every six months.”

"Not yet." Guo Tailai said with a smile, he understands the old man's kindness, but some things are very simple, there is no need to do so much effort: "We have other sources of funds."

Everyone looked at Guo Tailai, waiting for Guo Tailai to answer. From the beginning to the end, Guo Tailai never showed that he was in urgent need of money. Even if he held a general meeting of shareholders, he just said that there was a big investment to be reported, and he didn't mean to ask the bosses for money. Presumably there should be a solution, right?

"Someone had dinner with me a few days ago and said that our company is very different." Guo Tailai said with a smile, and glanced at the senior sister, who immediately knew who Guo Tailai was talking about, and couldn't help laughing.

Alternative? Everyone was confused for a while, especially the four generals, they didn't want to understand, why are they different? Isn't this a normal company?

"Our company is so large that we don't have a penny of loans." Guo Tailai explained with a smile: "Whether it's building a building or buying land, whether it's building a laboratory or doing research and development, it's all on our own, without borrowing." A penny from the bank. That's abnormal! So, I figured, Zhengyifang Technology has to become a normal company, and we should borrow some money."

Speaking of this, everyone reacted at once. It turns out that Guo Tailai's idea was to get a bank loan?

"It's feasible." Several generals said nothing, but the four bosses all thought it was feasible.

Regardless of the huge size of the four group companies, almost all of them have a large amount of loans under the name of their head office and branch companies. As Haige said, most of the state-owned enterprises and listed companies now have a lot of loans, and there are very few without loans. In the eyes of others, Zhengyifang Technology is an alternative.

A high-tech company with a huge market value and outstanding performance like Zhengyifang Technology is simply the best customer in the eyes of the bank. The excellent performance makes the bank not have to worry about not paying the loan at all. In Mi Feifei's words, people from various banks ask her out almost every week, wanting to provide loans to the company.

"Wait!" General Liu hastily stopped: "Isn't it required to explain the purpose of the loan when applying for a bank loan? Could it be that you just tell the bank the confidential project you have developed?"

This is also a concern, but Mi Feifei immediately answered General Liu's question: "We can use other civilian projects in research and development, such as silicon balance springs, such as the design of the vehicle system of the boss and Ferrari's cooperation models, to finance the loan. The company itself There are funds invested in confidential projects. When necessary, corporate headquarters buildings and laboratory equipment can also be used as collateral.”

"Do you need us to say hello to the bank?" General Chu also had no objection, and asked directly.

"Well, let's contact the bank first and see the specific situation of the bank." Guo Tailai said with a smile: "When it's time to say hello, I won't be polite to all the uncles."

Now that the funding problem is no longer a problem, everyone is interested in Guo Tailai's 3D printing project, so let Guo Tailai explain it carefully.

When they fully understood what 3D printing was all about, the four bosses and the four generals couldn't hide their ecstasy and shock. No wonder this thing directly accounted for at least half of the 20 billion. It turns out that it is the most ruthless among so many projects! Unfortunately, everyone thinks that the basic materials are the real ones!

The generals were trembling with excitement all over their bodies. After a specific equipment is successfully developed, titanium alloy parts for fighter jets can be printed directly at the airport, or parts of damaged weapons and equipment can be printed directly on the battlefield and replaced on site. What is the concept for logistics and warfare? This kind of advanced technology needs to be researched even if it is sold out!

"Strictly speaking, the scope of this 3D printing project is too wide to be purely classified as a military project." After hearing the introduction, General Chu was very tempted: "Fatty, since you can cooperate with Shuimu University, can you also let us Part of the military experts involved? If feasible, the military can also appropriately pay part of the research and development costs, and at the same time explore a joint research and development path between military experts and private companies."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked sideways. General Chu was in the final assembly, and this was the first time that he wanted military experts to participate in Zhengyifang Technology's project. You know, even the development of pure military materials such as aircraft carrier deck steel, the military did not seem to have such thoughts in the past. It is conceivable how tempted General Chu was by the 3D printing technology this time.

"Who will lead the project? Who will get the final technology patent?" Guo Tailai didn't refuse outright, but asked a key question: "If Zhengyifang Technology is the leader, can the experts in the military accept the company's rules and regulations? Management? Can you accept the huge gap in wages between the two parties? And can you accept that the final technology patents belong to private companies?"

Although Guo Tailai asked who would take the lead, in the next few questions, he didn't mention the choice of being led by the military. Obviously, Guo Tailai had implicitly put forward his own conditions.
