1657 When Capitalists Meet “Scientists”
In the early morning, the first ray of sunlight shone through the gap between the curtains, and Lin Qi slowly woke up from his sleep.
Originally he should have gotten up very early to exercise, which had become a part of his life, but because last night was crazy, he decided to be lazy.
As a human being, Lynch believes that in addition to wisdom and creating tools and using tools are the pride of human beings, so is restraining the instinct!
After the initial discomfort period of exercise is over, it will enter a period of pleasure.
Every exercise will produce a kind of happiness in your body. It is actually a healthy "addiction". The exercise intensity is stronger than the body can bear, which will promote the secretion of more dopamine.
But if you persist any longer, exercise will become boring and... purposeless again.
Mainly the latter.
After fully adapting to a certain intensity of exercise, if the intensity of the exercise is not increased, the body will not be able to get more pleasure from the exercise.
At this time, exercise will become boring, boring, and tiring.
Lynch is not a professional athlete. He does not need to constantly increase the intensity of exercise to temper his body. All he needs is to maintain at least some exercise time.
In this case, restraint and persistence become particularly important.
And this is one of the reasons why humans can become humans and killers of nature.
We can deal with the world rationally and with restraint.
But I have to say, it’s so comfortable to be lazy!
The soft bed, the hot body next to you, the young girl is just great!
Lin Qi sighed a little, Penny's body was warm, which was different from Vera and Momo.
Their bodies will be cooler and will not radiate heat like young girls!
He sighed softly, stood up, and washed up. Although his instinct told him that he wanted to stay in bed, his reason told him-
"If you don't fucking get up the board won't be able to catch up!"
The hot water washed away the traces left by several girls on his body. With the tired help of the little maid, Lynch put on decent clothes and got into the car.
The main reason was that he didn't know where those clothes were placed. On important formal occasions in and out of the Federation, the matching of clothes was standardized and they were all in one set.
In a way, the Federals are indeed very lazy and free-spirited, wandering around in baggy clothes.
But when they get serious, they can also be very picky.
Even if the color of your cufflinks is not suitable for a party, those reporters can pick it out for you and mock it the next day with the headline "Funny Matching".
After arriving at the company, the company's directors have gathered together.
Anna has put the materials on Lynch's desk. She still works in the company and is also a member of the board of directors.
Lynch's arrival brought a smile to everyone's face, whether they did it voluntarily or not.
"Mr.president……"
Lin Qi raised his hand and pressed it softly, then sat on the chair.
Although he didn't ask people to call him that, everyone would call him that.
There is a rumor that Lynch likes more formal titles. He doesn't like others to call him Mr. Lynch, but his professional title.
For example, Mr. Chairman, Mr. President, etc.
Although I don’t know where the rumor came from, it seems to be true.
After sitting down, Lynch flipped over the documents in his hand, then looked up at all the shareholders.
"Let's solve the most common problems first, and then the follow-up. Do you have any questions?"
After everyone said no, Lynch turned to the end of the document and said, "I see that our profitability this year is lower than last year..."
The next step is to deal with some issues related to the incubator.
The war has greatly promoted the development of science and civilian science. The Ministry of Defense has an unlimited budget and spends money like crazy. The entire society is immersed in a new environment created by research and development.
This also led to the birth of many R&D-oriented companies in the federal society, and then issued some small yellow orders with the help of Bupen, or directly approached the Light of Tomorrow for investment.
In short, this type of company is emerging explosively!
However, profit margins fell in the last quarter of last year and the first quarter of this year. Although this industry is very popular and there are new inventions everywhere, the profits brought by these entrepreneurial enterprises to the company are very low.
"...I've looked at the materials here and some other extended materials, and I'm not sure if you know some of the issues."
"For example, the research and development expenses of the Flight Research Institute?"
He sat on the chair and looked at the other people here, who all showed a somewhat blank expression.
The Flight Research Institute is firmly in the hands of Lynch, and the Light of Tomorrow holds shares in Blackstone Aviation. To these people, or to the capitalists who do not understand R&D, most of them feel that Research and development doesn’t cost much at all!
They only think that the core value of R&D is an idea, and if they can spend some money to realize this idea, it will be considered a successful R&D.
This is the limitation of the times. It cannot be said that they are all wrong, but they are not correct either.
Lynch shook his head, "The research and development cost of each project of the Flight Research Institute is more than 20 million every year. When we have a new and more important project, the research and development budget will be increased to at least 50 million, with an upper limit of One hundred million."
"The progress of science and technology does not require great ideas, but the process of realizing the ideas."
“The process of realizing these ideas requires spending a huge amount of money!”
Lynch tapped his fingers on the material and made an aggressive sound, "Something like this 'Eye in the Sky' plan, it looks beautiful, but it's obviously not something we can play with."
"Or if we want to achieve what it says, put an instrument in the sky to detect the situation on the ground and then transmit the specific situation back to us, the cost of developing it alone may cost hundreds of millions or even dozens of dollars. 100 million."
"There is still a huge possibility of failure!"
"The technology industry and emerging industries may have a bright future, but this is also the most dangerous place!"
"Real scientists have long joined various laboratories. These kind of citizen scientists are active in the capital market..."
Lynch paused as he spoke, and then couldn't help but laugh twice. This laughter made everyone's faces look unhappy.
They have never doubted Lynch's ability in business, and the facts are indeed what Lynch said.
Due to the unlimited investment of the Ministry of Defense and the renewed popularity of private inventions, Light of Tomorrow has invested in more than 20 projects that look good.
This cost the company tens of millions, and later due to R&D issues, a little more money was spent on it.
This is also the main reason for a significant drop in profits or even losses!
Keep investing but see no output.
The shareholder sitting on Lynch's left couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Chairman, will all these companies you have invested in... be axed?"
"Maybe we should stop the loss in time!"
He thought it was cool when he heard these people bragging about their ideas before, but now when he heard Lynch say this, he suddenly realized that they were careless.
Not just him, everyone was careless.
In fact, this is one of the most common mistakes that capitalists made during the era of the scientific explosion. They only saw returns of several or dozens of times for successful projects.
But I didn’t realize that in this field, there may not be one person out of ten thousand who can achieve great success with a little knowledge!
Just like Lynch's radio reconnaissance array, of course this project has now been renamed "God's Eye".
At that time, Lynch only spent tens of thousands of dollars when he invested in it. Now that the project has been taken over by the Department of Defense, Lynch not only earned a thousand-fold return, but he still holds part of the project's shares.
This myth makes shareholders feel that with the company's strong background and technological support, they can also find a few excellent projects, thereby achieving returns hundreds of times and thousands of times.
But they still underestimate this field. Sometimes the words of those civilian scientists are no worse than Lynch, especially when they describe future prospects to capitalists!
Lynch listened and shook his head, "We have invested so much money, and now you want to cut them off, where will our losses be recovered?"
His words made the major shareholder stunned for a moment, "Then what do you mean..."
"Go find a few brokerage companies that have a good relationship with us and hype up these projects."
"If you can find fools to take over, then throw them all to fools. At least we won't suffer too much loss."
"If you can't find fools, just send out yellow slips. I believe there will be more fools who like these people's dreams!"
It sounds a bit like swearing, but I have to say that this is indeed a solution.
Even outstanding capitalists like them were blown away. Now that it has been packaged with capital and has some progress in research and development, it may not be impossible to find other people who like this.
As for the small yellow order, it is just a solution after there is no other way. You can't ignore the loss, right?
After talking about these projects, Lynch made a summary.
"In the future, all investment in emerging technology research and development projects will be stopped. If there are projects that are really attractive to you, I will wait until I have seen them."
"So now...", he flipped through the documents again, "let's talk about the reconstruction of Marillo..."
Marillo's reconstruction has been put on the agenda, and many people have been talking about it recently.
This involves a reconstruction project worth billions. If we can capture part of it, even 1%, it will still be a project worth hundreds of millions!
If we can get a little more, the company will be able to have a full meal in the next two years!
Moreover, many of these projects are large-scale and comprehensive contents. As long as they are obtained, all shareholders of the entire company can participate in them.
Compared with the points lost on investment, they can earn back exponentially from here!
