Chapter 171: Science and Technology is the Primary Productive Force
Qian Hongli didn't take it seriously at first, but after listening to Lu Yiming's description, his expression became stern and he began to seriously understand what Lu Yiming said.
To establish a brand, marketing is an indispensable means, but the core of the brand is always the product.
Therefore, for a company to survive, technological research and development is always the top priority.
Qian Hongli's thoughts finally changed, and he nodded seriously: "I understand."
Lu Yiming is no novice. He knows that "words are not enough", so he said directly: "It's not enough to just say you understand. Let's sign an agreement. In the form of a contract, it is stipulated in black and white that the company must spend at least 15% of its profits on research and development every year."
Even brothers settle accounts clearly. Although Lu Yiming knew in his previous life that Qian Hongli was a friend worth associating with, who knows if he will change after his rebirth?
Therefore, it is better to put the cooperation matters in black and white.
Qian Hongli was shocked after hearing this: "Are you crazy? Fifteen percent of profits are spent on research and development every year? Isn't that too much? Can't you make ends meet ?"
In Qian Hongli's view, the ultimate goal of doing business is to make money.
As a result, we have to spend 15% of the profit on research and development. How can we make any money from this?
You have to know that while companies make money, they also have to spend money, and various expenses are not a small amount. Especially for companies in a period of rapid expansion, capital shortage is a major problem.
Whether it is capacity expansion, recruiting workers, channel promotion, or material inventory, these are huge expenses.
But at this moment, Lu Yiming thought of a private technology company that was banned by the world's number one technological power. He shook his head and sighed, "What's the limit? What I wanted to say was 10% of the turnover, but since the company is still in its infancy, I wanted to be more cautious, so I said 15% of the profit. And this is my bottom line, it can only be higher, not lower."
Qian Hongli was speechless. He gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind: "Okay, I'll listen to you, but if you keep doing this, I'm afraid we won't get any dividends in the next ten years."
Lu Yiming looked carefree and didn't care about it: "If you don't want to share the dividends, then don't share the dividends. Right now, building up the brand is more important than anything else. You should prepare as soon as possible. Then we will find some relevant professionals to make a formal cooperation agreement and write down everything we just said."
After leaving the computer city, Lu Yiming returned to the classroom, took out a workbook, and began to write a plan.
When he returned home in the evening, Lu Yiming called Li Yiwen and told him about this matter.
Li Yiwen was a little puzzled: "Since you are optimistic about this business, why don't you do it yourself, instead of giving it to outsiders?"
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "There are all kinds of people in the computer city. Qian Hongli is not a swindler, nor does he sell inferior products as good ones. He has been able to gain a firm foothold and stand firm with his good reputation. This alone is enough to prove his ability. Cooperating with him can save me a lot of trouble."
Li Yiwen added: "Then why don't we find a capable professional manager?"
Lu Yiming shook his head: "There is no end to the business in this world. Even if we can hire a capable person, how can we guarantee that he will not have second thoughts when he is fully grown? What's more, the degree of dedication when working for others is definitely different from working for yourself. Cousin, we have the capital, so we just need to invest. Why should we roll up our sleeves and do it ourselves? Have you ever seen a big landlord in ancient times personally working in the fields? How LOW..."
The domestic economy is developing rapidly these days, and the business field is basically dominated by a group of grassroots people. Therefore, their concept of business is to accumulate small amounts to make a big one, and they wish to make every penny they can.
After all, I was poor before, and my thinking has been fixed.
As for angel investment, how can people without money think of this?
Li Yiwen also failed to come to his senses for a while, and his thoughts remained in the past.
This cannot be blamed on his short-sightedness. After all, two months ago, his annual salary was only 10,000 yuan. Suddenly, his net worth exceeded 100 million yuan. It is normal that his thinking cannot keep up with the growth of his assets.
People like Lu Yiming are abnormal .
After some communication, Li Yiwen also realized what Lu Yiming was thinking.
"Are you planning to expand Future Capital's business to the mainland in this way?"
Seeing that Li Yiwen had changed his mind so quickly, Lu Yiming said approvingly, "Cousin, I didn't expect you to be so smart. I do have this idea. Investing in Manulife is also a test. If it succeeds, we will make a lot of money. If it fails, it doesn't matter. It's just a few million. We can afford to lose it."
As a reborn person, you can make money without doing anything, so why should you work so hard?
Is it that eating and drinking is not joyful enough, or is it that the life of a salted fish is not comfortable enough?
How can it be more joyful to let others make money for you than to work hard to make money for you?
Lu Yiming’s idea was very simple. He wanted to find those companies with potential in his memory, or invest in those industries with good prospects. In this way, he could make money without doing anything.
"Cousin, please help me transfer some funds to the mainland first. I'm waiting to use them."
Li Yiwen was still worried and asked, "According to your method, five million is probably just the registered capital. You will definitely have to continue to invest more money in it. When it comes to technology, the speed at which money is burned is beyond your imagination."
Lu Yiming said confidently: "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Other fund companies are not sure about the investment prospects of projects and selected industries. Is Lu Yiming also not sure?
In the future, capital will be used to promote the development of the domestic science and technology industry and increase employment. The government will certainly be happy to see this happen, and it will also be like finding a big backer.
Once the investment is successful, the huge profits will enhance the credibility of future capital, making it much easier to raise funds in the future.
Li Yiwen guessed what Lu Yiming was thinking, so he stopped objecting: "Well, as long as you know what's going on, I'll get the money back to you later. I'll give you 10 million, and keep some extra money in your hand."
"That's fine."
In the next few days, Lu Yiming was working on the plan.
On the weekend, Lu Yiming went out for morning tea, and then leisurely came to Tongxin Internet Cafe.
After reopening, the original customers came back. After all, they had all recharged their money, and before they had used up their money, it was unlikely that they would choose another Internet cafe.
Because it was a weekend, the Internet cafe was very busy, and Li Quanwang and the two employees in the store were almost overwhelmed. He saw Lu Yiming and quickly greeted him, saying, "You're here? Come over and help."
Lu Yiming came over and walked forward with a smile: "How is business during this period?"
Li Quanwang chuckled: "What else can I do? I'll just count the money until my hands cramp."
The original 1% of the shares is now worth 500,000 yuan, and there is still huge room for growth in the future.
However, Li Quanwang has not yet realized that he has become a rich man. The main reason is that his money came too quickly and too suddenly, so that he is not mentally prepared at all. He is still happily "working" here and mingling with the employees of Tongxin Internet Cafe.
"That's great, keep up the good work. Manage the internet cafe well, and you'll be able to live a worry-free life for the rest of your life."
"Then I have to thank you. By the way, when will you take me to Hong Kong again?"
"Don't think about playing all the time. You have to run the store on weekends and study from Monday to Friday. You're still thinking about playing all the time. Aren't you afraid of getting last place in the monthly exam and having to go home and eat bamboo shoots and fried pork?"
"You think I won't be able to eat if I don't go out to play?"
The two stood in front of the cashier counter, chatting about some trivial matters in life.
Wu Qiuya and Wu Kejun passed by. Wu Kejun pushed Wu Qiuya's arm and said excitedly, "Look over there, it's Lu Yiming and Li Quanwang!"
