On this day.
"Mr. Chen, the company's funds seem to be running out."
The company's financial director, Zhu Yuefang, found Chen Jin and whispered in his ear.
What？
Chen Jin was stunned. He didn't have enough money?
Weren't there billions lying in the company's account some time ago? How could so much money disappear so quickly?
Zhu Yuefang helplessly took out a list and reported how much he had spent recently.
1. Currently, the company had 1,781 employees, three R&D factories, and three floors of the office building. Monthly expenses such as rent, utilities, medical supplies, and salaries exceeded 100 million.
2. Acquisition of three studios, 55 million
3. Purchase of various technology licenses, 300 million
4. Research and development expenses for the "Wa-wah 2.0" project department, 350 million
5. Procurement of office equipment, 420 million
6. Establishment of a chip R&D department, 500 million
6. Purchase of a supercomputer, 550 million
7. Establishment of a large-scale hardware R&D center, 2.5 billion
8. Other expenses, 150 million
Total expenses: 5,025 million.
How much did Xing Hai Technologies earn during this period of time?
According to previous statistics, the sales of 3 million Wa-wah version 1.0 robots had brought Xing Hai Technologies a cash flow of 100 million.
It had been two months since the launch of Wa-wah 1.1 at the end of May. According to the sales department, a total of 2.75 million Wa-wah 1.1 robots with various configurations had been sold.
The average net profit per unit was $1,203. Multiplied by 2.75 million, the company had earned another 3.3 billion in these two months.
In addition, Da Mi Technologies had sold about 2 million Love Mi robots and paid Xing Hai Technologies a patent license fee of 250 million.
The total profit was 100 million.
After deducting the total expenses from the total profit, the company's current book profit was less than 200 million.
Chen Jin patted his chest and heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at Zhu Yuefang and said, "Manager Zhu, did you scare me? Why are you making such a fuss? Isn't there still 200 million? "
"Mr. Chen, I'm not trying to scare you, but you're spending money too fast. At this rate, the company's cash flow will really drop below the warning line in a few days. For a growing company like ours, it's not safe for us to have less than 500 million in our book capital."
"I think you should rein it in. The company's expansion is too fast. There's really no need to rush. It's better to save some money that shouldn't be spent."
Zhu Yuefang knew that the boss might not like to hear this, but she still tried her best to persuade him.
After all, a high-tech company with a bright future, which had been established for less than a year and had already ranked among the top 500 companies in the country in terms of revenue, should take a more stable path and have a clearer direction of development. Striking in all directions and blossoming in more places was something that was suitable for the company to do after it had grown into a giant.
"That's enough, Manager Zhu. Don't worry. We've spent almost all the money we need to spend. All that's left is to wait for the fruits to ripen and harvest the harvest. Moreover, we can still sell hundreds of thousands of Wa-wah robots every month, earning a few hundred million every month. It won't be long before the company's cash flow will be full again."
Zhu Yuefang nodded. Since the boss knew what to do, there was no need for him to comment further.
…
Time flowed quickly like water.
For the next four months or so, the entire Xing Hai Technologies entered a tense and busy state.
Overtime had become the norm, especially for technical research and development positions. The average weekly working time of the R&D personnel at Xing Hai Technologies was 56 hours. It was only half a day's difference from Hua Yao's 60 hours.
More than 361, Ali, Baidu, and other Internet companies known for their overtime culture.
It seemed that the notoriety of squeezing the employees dry was inevitable.
However, the reality was that Xing Hai Technologies did not force overtime. You could choose to work from 9 to 5 and put your life on the same level as your work.
You could also choose to work overtime to earn more.
The vast majority of the employees were willing to work overtime. They took the initiative to apply for overtime.
Some workaholics even bought sleeping bags at their own expense. When they were tired at night, they would lie on the floor next to their workstation and sleep.
The first reason was that Xing Hai Technologies strictly implemented the overtime pay system. The overtime pay was 1.5 times the normal hourly pay, with a maximum of four hours of overtime per day.
The second reason was that the few projects of Xing Hai Technologies had bright prospects and were exciting. The R&D personnel were full of enthusiasm and motivation.
There was a saying that went like this: When you do something you like, no matter how hard it is, it's never tiring. When you do something you don't like, no matter how easy it is, it's always tiring. The few projects of Xing Hai Technologies belonged to the former category.
In the past few months, Chen Jin had not been idle. Instead, he was like an ordinary R&D personnel. When he was free, he would go to the R&D factory.
He was especially attentive to the "Intelligent Learning Machine" project. He would come over four or five times a week. Each time, he would stay for at least half a day to personally guide the work.
He had sunk into a busier state.
He was not looking for trouble and tormenting himself when he had nothing better to do.
He was really bored out of his mind.
Firstly, after the environmental transformation work on planet Haierfa started, all of it was handled by the artificial intelligence, Nuwa. At most, Chen Jin could only move his lips and give some suggestions.
He had basically picked up all the "trash" that he could, especially after sending the air transport team to Wei Nation to pick up a super calculator called "Sakura" that had a Flop of a Flop. After upgrading it for Alice, there was basically no "treasure" left that was worth his attention.
On Earth, he did not need to handle most of the company's affairs. They were handed over to the professional managers and he was a hands-off boss.
Therefore, he had a lot of free time to do whatever he wanted.
But it was precisely because he was free that he kept his promise. He took the initiative to treat "Director Dong's daughter," Yuan Li, to a meal and went shopping for a while. Their relationship became even more intimate.
Then, things got out of hand. In just half a month, Yuan Li had treated him to a meal three times and gone out four times. The girl's enthusiasm was irresistible.
Chen Jin was a little tired of it. He had a quiet personality. Yuan Li would invite him here and there to taste good food and sightsee every day. In the beginning, it was great and he was very happy. But as the number of times increased, he slowly got sick of it and felt that it was no longer meaningful.
He also realized that he was a person who did not really know how to enjoy life.
Anime girls were enough to satisfy him. Instead of spending a lot of time on eating, drinking, and having fun, he might as well do something more meaningful.
He sent a message. "Yuan Li, there are a lot of things to do at the company. I won't have time to accompany you for the next few months. Please forgive me."
"Oh … Okay."
Yuan Lin pouted and replied.
…
December 21st.
After half a year of intense research and development by a 300-person R&D team, Xing Hai Technologies achieved a breakthrough in one of their products. They had produced the final version of the prototype.
The finalization was announced to be a success.
