God-level Trader of Rebirth

"No money? How is it possible!"

Sitting in the office, Chen Weidong was really surprised after listening to his report.

The company has such a huge cash flow, how could it be possible to run out of money so soon? According to his original idea, at least it should last for a few more years.

"Mr. Chen, it's true. Now there are only more than 100 billion left in the financial account. According to the current company's expenditure speed, we can support it for at most three months." Zhan Hongtian smiled wryly, and looked very helpless.

Now his financial department has more than 200 professional accountants who deal with the company's large and small revenues and expenditures every day, so this data will never be wrong.

"Where is it spending so much?" Chen Weidong couldn't help being a little curious, more than 1000 billion can be spent, and the speed of spending money is comparable to the speed of making money.

"There are various research projects with an amount of tens of millions or hundreds of millions, but the electronic laboratory is the most expensive one. Their monthly expenditure is hundreds of millions." Zhan Hongtian answered cautiously after thinking for a while.

Although he is the company's chief financial officer, the company's scientific research department has always existed aloofly.

Every time those project leaders come with the funding application form stamped and signed by the academic committee, he only needs to arrange the funding.

In fact, he doesn't have any authority to ask about the use of the other party's funds, so he doesn't know where the researchers spend their money.

"Is that so? You go back to work first. I'll take care of the money issue. Don't worry."

"Okay, Mr. Chen."

Send Zhan Hongtian away.

Chen Weidong leaned back on the office chair and closed his eyes slightly.

The size of the company is getting bigger and bigger. There are at least 20 people who rely on Infinity Company for food, directly or indirectly. Although the society praises their company a lot, as an operator, he is undoubtedly a failure. .

The company's financial level has never improved, and it has always been in a state of being unable to make ends meet.

If it wasn't for making a fortune in the Xiangjiang stock market in the early years, it would be impossible to support it to the present, let alone sit firmly in the top [-] in the world.

Up to now, Infinity Company has actually made a lot of money-making businesses.

For example, instant messaging, game department, entertainment industry, equipment sales, complete computer, supercomputer, server export, etc. are all projects that are continuously profitable.

Especially games, they are simply money-absorbing monsters.

According to the report submitted by the financial department, the revenue of the game department in the latest quarter reached more than RMB 7 million, an increase of 17% compared to the previous quarter.

In [-], this was already a very large number.

Nearly 30 billion for the whole year.

The market value of many listed companies is not so much.

But if you say that this money is going to be used for research and development, especially for large projects that require long-term investment, it is not worth mentioning at all.

Ordinary people can't even imagine the annual R&D investment of those foreign technology giants, but Chen Weidong knows it very well.

About 20% of revenue.

It is equivalent to keeping only a little bit of Lilan every year, and investing most of the money earned in technology upgrades.

...

No. [-] in the world is working so hard, and the rest are not as good as his "poor students". To catch up with him, the cost and energy required to catch up with him has increased exponentially.

He can also take his time, let Infinity Company slowly make money, and then use part of the net profit to slowly invest in scientific research. In this case, the company's financial situation should also be very healthy.

This is how most businesses operate.

But since you want to get something out of this era ahead of time, you will naturally have to pay a high price.

Outsiders cannot imagine the difficulties of the physical industry, especially things involving research and development, which are simply a bottomless pit.

It all seems to be back again.

It seems that you have to go through the financial crowbar to get enough capital to support what you want to do.
Chen Weidong didn't approve a single document all morning. He sat on the swivel chair, facing the floor-to-ceiling glass wall, looking at the sky outside, dazed by the dissipating clouds.

When Li Xi'er saw his action, she knew that he was thinking about something.

Every time before he made any new moves, he would just stare out the window in a daze, sitting for a whole day, or in a daze for several days in a row.

And when he woke up from the absent-minded state, he said that it would not be long before a scientific research project, or a new plan, would come out of his mind.

Li Xi'er came over quietly, picked up the documents on his desk, and prepared to move them to her desk to review for him.

As a result, Chen Weidong's daze only lasted for a short while, and he stood up immediately.

"Xi'er, help me inform Lin Zeju, Zhao Gong, Liu Weitao, and Yu Guangbin to come over. By the way, let Yu Guangbin and Liu Weitao bring an expert from their department who is proficient in business."

Liu Weitao was originally the person in charge of the company's automation instrument department. He used to be Zhao Gong's deputy, and was later transferred to the material department, where he was responsible for the research and development of new materials.

And Yu Guangbin is the general director of the electronic laboratory and photonic computer project.

He specifically focuses on the research and development of photonic computers, spanning several disciplines such as optoelectronics, automation, computer, and materials, and coordinating the work of various departments.

Chen Weidong waited for a while, but the first one to arrive was not Lin Zeju who worked on the same floor as him, but Yu Guangbin.

Lin Zeju is one of the shareholders of the Yellow River Group and has rich management experience, so in Infinity Company, he is responsible for the specific management of the company.

Infinity Company grew bigger and bigger, and his work became more and more heavy. He was so busy all day long that he couldn't be as leisurely as Chen Weidong and Chen Jie.

Yu Guangbin didn't expect that he was the first to arrive. He knew why Chen Weidong asked him to come here.

Naturally, the boss wanted to ask about the development progress of the photonic computer.

Photonic Computer was established very early last year, and almost a year has passed in a blink of an eye.

The boss knew the arduousness of this work, and never interfered with their work, and even instructed the academic committee many times to give strong support to this project.

...

If you want money to give, people to give, and outside help, the academic committee will work tirelessly, travel around the country, and even the world, to find contacts, negotiate with other institutions and companies to buy each other's technology, and never complain.

But until now, they spend money like water, and they haven't reported their happiness to the boss once!

Even, the research progress has not made any progress.

Everyone in the project team, from the beginning because of the special preferential treatment of the company, showed off to their colleagues how important their work is to the future of the company.

Later, because there was no progress, I shrank my head all day long. When I saw my colleagues, I was afraid of being asked, and I was embarrassed to say hello.

Everyone is holding back their energy, trying to achieve some results.

Every day, people in the photonic computer research group go to work the earliest and leave work at the latest, and they often take the initiative to work overtime during holidays.

But this photonic computer, which is a thousand times faster than traditional electronic computers, is always like a floating cloud in the sky, visible but intangible.

As of today, the scrapped parts and models of the verification machine can fill a large warehouse, but they still haven't been able to produce a photonic computer that can barely be put into use.

Yu Guangbin and Cen Jingping, the chief engineer of this project, discussed it when they came in. The two of them were honest and sat behind the crowd, not to attract attention.

But when they opened the door, they froze.

Only the two of them, the first to arrive!
"Mr. Yu, Mr. Cen, you are here, come in quickly, sit down, sit down and talk." Sitting on the sofa at the side of the office, Chen Weidong warmly greeted them to come in, and asked Li Xier to pour them two cups of tea.

Yu Guangbin and Cen Jingping looked at me and I looked at you, as if the boss wasn't angry, and didn't seem to want to blame them.

Although Chen Weidong's expression looked very friendly, the two still felt guilty. They could only sit nervously on the edge of the sofa, put their hands on their knees, and lowered their eyebrows.

The two scientific and technological workers who are close to a hundred years old together dare not show their atmosphere in front of Chen Weidong.

Chen Weidong saw their nervousness, and started chatting nonsense, and told them some interesting things about the island country, without adding more mental pressure to them.

A few minutes later, Liu Weitao walked in with a researcher from the material department.

As soon as Liu Weitao entered the door, he didn't look like a little wife like Yu Guangbin and the others, but directly called out to Chen Weidong: "Mr. Chen, you came to see me, don't you want to show us some tasks for our department?"

"You don't know how heavy our task is now! In the mechanical laboratory, Mr. Zhao is like a reminder every day. Let us test the hardness of various parts for them. The optoelectronic department has recently launched a drone project. We got them light alloys, and we talked about making micro-engines, and improvements to the company's chip production line."

"I can't wait to grow dozens of hands now, it's enough! Mr. Chen, just let me breathe!"

The researcher behind him also rubbed his nose and laughed.

In the company, the busiest mechanical laboratory is also the most complicated, especially the subordinate automation instrument department.

As long as they get busy, they need the cooperation and assistance of the materials department, and they will not let go if they are caught. The materials department also has scientific research projects to do. Researchers go to work, like a spinning top every day, and they can't stop when they start spinning.

When they saw Yu Guangbin and Cen Jingping who were shrunk aside, they pretended not to see them.

For the photonic computer project team, the funding is open every year, and the most assistance is required from other departments. The academic committee strongly supports it, and the boss attaches the most importance to it, like a son. However, it has not achieved any results throughout the year, and many departments of the company have privately sneered.

Especially in their materials department, there are several senior engineers with the best technical strength, including the automation department he used to work in. There are two chief engineers, and they are still in the photonic computer project team. Seeing that the work is so busy, people But don't come back.

Liu Weitao and others have very strong opinions.

Seeing Yu Guangbin and the others, it would be enough if they didn't roll their eyes, don't try to give them any good looks.
