Please make money.

"so?"

"So you're not going to tell me what electromagnetic catapults are?"

"…That was the project my second sister-in-law gave me before."

Ai Rulin put away his daughter's photo and handed a folder to Ailia.

Aaliyah raised her eyebrows, she didn't expect to hear her mother's name here.

She opened the rope-wrapped document bag and pulled out several handwritten copies of the planning proposals.

"Professor Ma, you are the leader of this project. What I did before was actually to provide industrial support for him."

Alia took out one of the lists, looked at Academician Ma's resume, and took a breath.

Professor, doctoral supervisor, academician of the Academy of Engineering, these are not mentioned. The main thing is that the other party has the rank of major general in professional and technical fields.

"The research direction is integrated power and electromagnetic transmission of ships... Oh... I see..."

The resume clearly expresses the other party's disdain for financial benefits.

Twenty years ago, the authorities even found him and wanted him to serve as the leader of a university, but he declined, saying that he only liked to study and knew nothing about management.

Alia's mother later found him and they hit it off immediately. The other party took out 20 million research bonuses and invested it all in it, and the Ai Group was responsible for the subsequent capital injection.

From the initiation of this project to the present, Ai Group has been involved in it for more than fifteen years.

For a commercial enterprise, a 15-year long-term investment with no output sounds like a fantasy...

After Alia's parents disappeared, the group fell into chaos and Ai Rulin took over the business.

"How much did it cost in total?"

"It's hard to calculate, but I estimate it to be around 2 billion."

"It's really cost-effective... Only 2 billion yuan was spent in 20 years... 45 motor patents, more than 200,000 sets of experimental data accumulation... Tsk tsk..."

The Ai Group is not the patent owner of the electromagnetic catapult technology. This patent belongs to Professor Ma’s team and also to Donghuang Country.

However, the Ai Group was the technology mass production party agreed upon in the previous cooperation, and this can be regarded as a reward for the support over the years.

Theoretically, as long as the Ai Group doesn't commit suicide, this technology will continue to be provided by them, so Alia has armed guards for security.

"What is Professor Ma doing now?"

"Keep improving your technique, same old."

Ai Rulin leaned back in his chair and said, "After we finish this period of work, we will consider putting these motor technologies into commercial use. At present, the most direct idea is the field of pure electric engineering machinery. Do you have any ideas?"

Alia looked at the patents, ranging from ship-level to car-level, and a few words popped into her mind.

New energy vehicles?

Forget it. I can’t build cars for now. If I take too big a step, it’s easy to get stuck.

"Just build it first. The pure electric mining card we built before is pretty good. I'll approve a budget for you."

In the past, the mechanical and chemical engineering departments were considered money-eating beasts, and everyone had a lot of complaints.

Now that Ai Rulin has returned to the group headquarters, the results can finally be made public, and he is greeted with admiring looks from those who know the situation.

It's so high-end! So classy!

I can only say that having core technology is so cool...

Alia signed a note, counted the zeros, and handed it to Uncle San: "Here, this is for this year. We need to distribute equity incentive dividends at the end of the year, so we have to keep some money. I will review it for you next year, and I will try to double it for you."

Ai Rulin took it and counted it, then raised his eyebrows in surprise: "So many?"

"I've made some money recently. One billion should be enough for you to use for a while, right?"

“It will probably be enough for next year.”

"That won't work. The more you spend, the more we will earn in the future."

Technological breakthroughs in machinery and chemical engineering are the most basic, but also among the technologies with the highest added value.

Alia was not familiar with this, so she could only use the most brutal method.

You are not good at making money, and I am not good at spending money - I'll leave the technological research and development to you!

Ai Rulin put away the note. Who would complain about having too little money?

After Arya came to power, apart from anything else, his life was indeed much better than before.

When the group was in turmoil, he had to maintain the mechanical and chemical business while also finding a way to balance income and expenditure.

If Lei Fan hadn't helped every year, the mechanical and chemical engineering department might have been dragged down by the long R&D cycle.

Therefore, when he left the Ai Group, it was not so much out of ambition, but out of fear that he would endlessly suck blood from the group and thus bring harm to the group.

It can only be said that Alia was wrong. Except for a grandmother and an uncle, most of the others in the group are loyal ministers.

Even though Third Uncle has the demeanor of a hero, he is essentially a good boy who is eager to show off his talents and abilities.

Ai Rulin did not ask much about Liu Shouzheng. It was obvious that Master Ai San knew more about what was behind Alia than Lei Fan.

It was he who had provoked Boss Huo in the first place, and he also knew some things about Aunt An and even Alia's mother.

Faced with the siege of these big guys, if Liu Shouzheng wants to use tricks against Alia, the best outcome will be eating the orange.

The worst outcome... hehe...

"What are your plans recently?" Ai Rulin picked up the teacup: "Fight to the death with Shouzheng Group?"

"Shouzheng Group is a piece of crap. I just need to do my own thing well."

Alia said as she opened the directory of today's reports to see what homework Prime Minister Lei had given her.

Hmm…hmmmm…hmm?

Alia raised her eyebrows, dug out a new supply list from the fresh documents next to her, calculated with her fingers, and then her face changed slightly.

Why is it that after all my efforts over these days, the supply has not only not improved, but the gap has become even bigger?

"Secretary Department - Transfer to Mr. Liu Jinliu of the Electronic Sales Department, ask him to come to the office."

"what happened?"

"What's going on with the smart home appliance gap? Why is it so big?"

"I don't know, but we are already supplying at full capacity. You may need to find another OEM."

"Our mechanical and chemical departments cannot meet production needs?"

"Of course not - do you really not know how popular the group's products are now?"

"I know, but... I didn't expect it to be so popular."

"You don't use social media? Like blogs or something?"

"I don't really like the puddle butterfly stroke." Alia put her hands on her hips and thought for a while: "Forget it, I'll just download one and try it out."

She downloaded a blog and spent some time to pass the official registration certification, officially confirming her identity as the chairman of the Ai Group.

After thinking about it, she published her first blog -

"Hello everyone, I am Xiao Ai, and I am very happy to meet you in this way. I hope you can give me more advice. The supply is a bit tight recently. I hope you can consume rationally and enjoy the happiness brought by technology."

But within five minutes, her blog was crowded with netizens attacking her.

"Why don't you sell the goods?"

"Are you there? Let's see if you're screwing in the screws or drilling holes in the soda crackers. Why don't you have time to restock the goods?"

"I advise you not to be ungrateful, I will spend money spree!"

Half an hour later, a new trending search directly jumped into the top five, and its name was very strange.

#Suspected of not being able to afford it, Xiao Ai advises everyone to consume rationally#

Ailia had just asked Mr. Liu about supply issues. The situation with mobile phones was fine as the new OEM would be able to start production soon, which would alleviate some of the problems.

As for smart home appliances, it’s hard to say. At present, even if we find a OEM, they can’t make it - who puts these things into home appliances?

She took the time to look at her phone, and immediately retreated tactically.

"what's the situation?"

"You are being praised to death. Now your new title is Monkey King." Lele, who had been playing the role of a stone, rubbed the game console and said, "Many friendly companies are adding fuel to the fire."

Alia rested her chin on one hand and scrolled through the replies boredly: "So I said I don't like this, I... huh?"

Her eyes were fixed on the two new trending searches, and then she understood what Lele meant by friendly competitors.

This is not adding fuel to the fire, this is simply stabbing in the back, and isn't this too despicable?

#Creating a persona or real charity? Let’s take a look at the Ai Group during the heavy rain in Tianhai#

#True good man: Risking his life to save a whole bus of people in the subway without leaving his name; Fake good man: Writing an IOU and asking for repayment and a five-star review#

"...?"

318-Mr. Jiang and Ai Muzhi

"Wow, I want Yu Yu..."

Ailia said this expressionlessly, then scrolled through the pages for a while and put down her phone.

She was thinking—thinking about who it was—and what the other person meant.

It is possible, this is the literal meaning, the other party is not a thousand-layer cake, it only has one layer.

If there is only one layer, it means that the friendly competitors don’t know that Alia was the one who saved the subway.

In their opinion, as long as they occupy the moral high ground, they can still beat Arya.

The reason is very simple. Everyone donates money, but your donations of money and goods are in the form of IOUs.

Yes, I know IOUs must be repaid.

But let’s put the IOUs aside, we’re talking about charity.

Alia talked to them about charity, they talked about business, Alia talked to them about business convenience, they talked about donations of money and goods.

What stands out is the substitution of concepts and nonsense.

Even though the Ai Group donated more money and materials than them, it did not prevent them from cracking down on Alia for writing IOUs to the entire Tianhai.

Why can't you donate all the money?

Standing on the moral high ground, our competitors appear not to be so unscrupulous.

Of course, this is the first level.

With Alia's all-round intelligence points, she is more concerned about whether the opponent has a deeper level of cognition.

That is, they know that Arya saved many people, but they want to praise Arya even more.

Aren’t you Alia powerful? Then I’ll make you a saint.

But the problem is, there has never been any saint...

I guess in the future there will be a bunch of weird people who will give Xiao Ai a perfect filter.

Then, for no apparent reason, because it doesn’t meet the perfection in one’s mind, his reputation collapses and he becomes a brainless hater.

Therefore, creating a god is the most cruel form of flattery. After all, it is a luxury for humans to remain rational.

Alia is not worried about the first scenario because she knows she is doing the right thing and everyone knows it too.

She was worried about the second possibility, but this seemed to overestimate the strategic awareness of her competitors...

Lele put down the game console: "Miss, shouldn't we clarify this?"

As the person who accompanied Alia to the subway rescue, she knew best what Alia had done.

The accumulated water had submerged the entire tunnel. Alia swam in using a diving posture, carrying a steel cable rope.

This kind of life-threatening rescue method highlights one's bravery and fearlessness.

Once exposed, Alia will be directly gilded.

Alia rolled her eyes. "I saved people for my own satisfaction. What do I want to clarify?"

"Okay, okay, I can satisfy myself..."
