Chapter 263 262. All the subordinates came to pay their respects in their later years
Du Chuan stayed at home until the third day of the Lunar New Year, and then returned to his house.
The third and fourth sons came together.
Their homework was finished before the Spring Festival, so my mother let them out.
Du Chuan was too lazy to care about them and just let them have fun, since school would start soon.
He rested comfortably at home for two days. No one disturbed him, and he had no time. He felt extremely comfortable.
But his leisurely life ended here.
On this day, White, Bolick, Andy, Ethel, Andy, and Wade came together.
"Happy New Year, Mr. Du." White and others said with an air of style.
Du Chuan also stood up and said Happy New Year.
Du Chuan was not surprised by their arrival, because if he hadn't asked White and others to come back after the New Year, they would have arrived before the new year.
During the New Year days, Du Chuan was too busy to entertain them, so he asked them to come again after the new year.
Du Chuan looked at the gifts they brought and didn't say much. He just told the third and fourth children not to open them randomly.
The purpose of White's visit is very simple. One is to pay New Year's greetings, and the other is to report on this year's achievements.
To be precise, it was half a year. They had already reported it last summer.
Du Chuan didn't go to the study or anything, so he asked, "Don't you guys take a rest?"
White said with a smile: "We came here on a chartered flight and had a good rest on the plane. Okay.”
Du Chuan saw that they really didn’t want to be tired, and even the oldest White looked in high spirits.
I didn’t say much. I just chatted with them and asked them how they were doing.
Then he called the third child and asked her to go to the restaurant to order some meals and deliver them directly when the time was up.
When it was almost done, White and the others began to report one by one, starting with White.
This is also a way of competition for them.
Everyone can see how you develop. If you are much worse than others, you may not be taken seriously by your boss in the future.
White said with a serious face: "In the past six months, the main business of our ink group has only been developing steadily, and there has not been much breakthrough. However, the profit has increased a bit. From July last year Until now, the profit is 110 million US dollars.”
Du Chuan was a little surprised when he heard this. A profit of 110 million US dollars in half a year?
This is not a little better than before.
"In what aspect was the breakthrough achieved?" Du Chuan asked.
Others are also curious. They all know about the reporting meeting half a year ago.
It can be said that a huge breakthrough has been made in the past six months, but White also said that the main business of Ink Group has not changed much.
White said: "Part of it is that some of our group companies' product technologies have made breakthroughs, costs have been reduced, and profits have increased."
"But the biggest part is still the investment in the stock market."
As he spoke, White looked at Du Chuan with admiration, "The stocks that Mr. asked us to continue to buy have basically risen, and Two of them have risen very much.”
“The other is the small company called Microsoft that you asked us to invest in. Their development potential is very huge.”
“It is possible now. Stable profit, in just the past six months, it has made a profit of 7 million US dollars."
Speaking of this, Du Chuan suddenly remembered that he had thought of this before and asked White to invest in Microsoft.
After all, Microsoft is still just a small workshop, especially when White invested, there were only two or three big cats and kittens.
But it has begun to show its potential. White first talked about some investments in the stock market in detail. As for Ink Group's own industry, there were not many changes compared to half a year ago, so he didn't go into too much detail.
Finally, I focused on Microsoft.
After receiving the investment from Ink Group, Microsoft's development has entered a fast lane.
First, I bought an operating system, QDOS, from Patterson, a programmer in Seattle.
Originally, according to Microsoft's original plan, the right to use it was purchased first, which only cost tens of thousands of dollars.
However, because of the investment from Ink Group, they directly bought out the ownership.
Then they modified the system and connected directly with IBM.
And it’s still a cooperation with IBM, not a one-time sale to them.
No one expected that this operating system would be very important to an IBM project and helped them achieve great success in this project.
So Microsoft was an instant success.
Of course, this is because of the intervention of the Ink Group. Otherwise, if you only rely on Microsoft, even if you can contact IBM because of the founder's personal relationship, you can only sell it at once.
Instead of cooperation.
Because of Du Chuan, White valued Microsoft very much. After learning about their needs, he directly arranged for the company's best negotiation team to take action.
So Microsoft is developing very fast.
Because of this time, Microsoft and IBM were put on line, and a lot of orders were obtained from them.
"This is not the key. The key is that they can slowly participate in some of IBM's research projects." White said, also a little surprised.
You know, the current Microsoft and IBM are not on the same level at all.
The gap between the two sides can be said to be as big as clouds and mud.
“The young man named Gates is very smart, and he also has a very clear plan and a good family.”
White apparently also met Gates’ parents, and They communicated.
Gates’ parents are naturally happy with White’s willingness to support their son’s business venture.
You must know that White is not an ordinary person now, and he also has a certain status in the American business community.
There are more than one or two people who are optimistic about the development of Ink Group.
"With continued investment in the future, I believe that Microsoft will become a huge profit point for our Ink Group." White said excitedly.
“In addition, I am going to invest part of the company in electronic products.”
“Microsoft has shown me the huge profits.”
“As long as With technology, profits will be very high!”
Listening to White’s story, Du Chuan nodded from time to time. This is right. The development and profits of electronic products in the future will exceed everyone’s imagination.
So Du Chuan did not stop White's behavior.
In the future, he will also ask White to invest in some related industries from time to time. Of course, what he invests in is quite purposeful.
“Yes, but you still need to focus on your own industry.” Du Chuan said.
“How is your retail company doing?”
As early as two years ago, Ink Company began to make plans in the retail industry.
