This flight test was a complete success, and the master company immediately ordered the production of two more aircraft. One of them is used to pay for the country's order, and the other two are used for training by the master company.
Gaoshou Company's test flight was successful, especially when it flew directly from the ground to space, and the amount of electricity consumed back and forth was less than one-tenth. Such an excellent aircraft made the country shout: Make money!
Of course, the employees inside Gaoshou Company are also very happy. There is nothing more proud than this. Seeing the aircraft they participated in the production can fly directly out of the atmosphere, the pride is indescribable; especially on the eve of the space age, everyone is You can understand the significance of such an aircraft.
Of course, the most excited people should be pilots like Mu Xinghai. The aircraft has been finalized. Is it still far from mass production?
However, no one knew that the top management of Gaoshou Company, including Mu Xinghai, were all having a meeting. The theme of the meeting was very simple: No money!
Yes, even if a master company has huge profits, it still has a lot of expenses. The current engine orders are still being rushed and it is impossible to add new orders; however, with the construction of the aircraft production line and the finalization of the aircraft to begin mass production, the master company discovered that it turns out that space competition is really a waste of money. Even big countries such as China and the United States can't bear the food, let alone a small private company like myself!
There was a time when even master companies needed to be smart about their budgets.
"Minister Lu Fangfang, how much money does the company still have on its books now, and how long can it support it based on the current situation?" Zhang Jingyuan looked through all the current projects of Gaoshou Company, asking and thinking at the same time.
"The current book capital is 350 billion yuan. However, according to the company's current situation, it can only support two months at most; and once the latest finalized Dream aircraft starts production, it can only support the payment of wages at the end of next month, which is about 40 days. time.”
"So fast!" Zhang Jingyuan looked surprised. He knew that the master company's funds were consumed very quickly, but it couldn't be this fast. 350 billion Huaxia coins is already the annual gross profit of a first-class domestic company!
"Now the monthly salary expenditure of Gaoshou Company is 5 billion yuan."
"Yes." Zhang Jingyuan knew that this was a high salary signed by himself. A company with more than 10,000 people has a salary expenditure of 5 billion yuan. This is an unimaginable number. The average monthly salary per person is 50,000 yuan!
"Monthly energy consumption, daily factory maintenance, etc., require about 10 billion yuan."
"Yeah." Zhang Jingyuan also understands this. All the company's equipment are large energy consumers, and they are all high-precision equipment with high maintenance costs.
"The aircraft technology research group now consumes about 50 billion yuan per month; the maintenance cost of the ocean base is as high as 30 billion yuan per month, all of which we invest ourselves, and the national experts also need us to pay their salaries."
< br>
"Yes." Zhang Jingyuan still nodded. In order to obtain the support of the country and the support of these top scientific researchers, in order to realize the dream of catching up with the Western world as soon as possible, Gaoshou Company also paid a high price.
"The aerospace aircraft production line is under construction, with an investment of 150 billion yuan in the first phase, which has been booked."
"Yeah."
"The cost of various raw materials required for daily production in the factory is about 1 billion yuan per month."
"Yeah." This is what Zhang Jingyuan is most satisfied with. The master's company has high-end technology, so the profits are huge.
"There are about 90 billion yuan of working capital left, but if we produce new aircraft, then even if most of the three aircraft use our own technology, the cost of each aircraft will be as high as 50 billion yuan.
Therefore, if we start the aircraft production plan next month, we still have a funding gap of at least 100 billion yuan. ”
"Changxing, how are chip sales going now?"
Li Changxing: "Sales are not optimistic, the market is saturated, and we have not introduced new technologies or existing technologies, so the net profit is only about 5 billion yuan per month."
"Oh? I remember that our technical reserves are very rich. It seems that we have successfully developed a nine-core chipset." Zhang Jingyuan was a little confused.
"Well, our technology is too high-end. So far, there is no comparable product in the Western market. Therefore, there is no need to launch new products yet. Moreover, the domestic market is saturated, and there is basically not much profit in a short period of time; the main benefits now are from Overseas; however, many foreign countries find it difficult to accept our prices, so business progress is slow.”
"Well, our attitude toward foreign countries must not be changed. This is for long-term considerations. At the moment, we are not without options, and there is no need to take that step.
How is the situation with new materials now? ”
Wu Yuliang and Wei Baojuan are now in charge of new materials. With the development of aircraft, a large number of new materials have been proposed. The task is arduous, and of course the funds consumed are also terrifying. Especially for these materials, the master company has not revealed them at all. This is a purely money-consuming department.
"New materials are enough to meet all current needs for the time being. But we have to consider the future, so we are studying newer and better materials. Including new lubricants."
"Well. Donghai, how is the battery plan going now? Can our new batteries be sold externally without affecting the country and the master company?"
"Okay, the newly researched battery for sale is three meters long, two meters wide and high, weighs ten tons, has a power reserve of 200,000, and has a complete device to prevent disassembly. The cost is about 20 million, and the price is OK Set at 200 million yuan, the market is expected to be vast and can be used in current ships, general civil aviation, etc., which can greatly simplify the design difficulty of these devices. The market size is expected to be around one trillion per year; but it will decrease year by year. br>
However, smaller car batteries are already under development and are expected to be successful next spring. The estimated cost is 10,000, the selling price is 150,000, and the power stored is 500 kilowatt-hours, but it is very small. A small car can be equipped with three to five, depending on the design of the vehicle.
The market sales of vehicle batteries are expected to be worth tens of billions in the next ten years; however, this market is too big for us to absorb. Objectively estimated, we can get at least hundreds of billions of sales from it. It will become the main profit channel for Gaoshou Company in the future. ”
"Very good, now you can appropriately borrow resources from other departments and develop car batteries first. However, after all, water from afar cannot quench the thirst for nearness!"
It's not that Zhang Jingyuan has never thought about taking out a loan, but no one would like to take out a loan unless he has no choice. Otherwise, the cost would be too high! For the last loan, Gaoshou Company paid 50 billion yuan in interest, which made Zhang Jingyuan a little frightened. This 50 billion yuan can do so many things!
"Brother, I have an idea." Zhang Weiwei suddenly spoke, her eyes filled with strong hope. Book lovers are welcome to come and read, the latest, fastest and most popular serial works are all here!
