Chapter 287 Down
Xu Youyou doesn’t understand technology, but she thinks she knows a little about business.
Doing business is like investing in stocks. The most important thing is not how much money you make, but to protect your capital. The faster the return on investment, the greater the potential of the business.
What is rare is that this investment led by Shen Wenxing not only has a large investment, but also a very high rate of return. Just one business deal brought Xu Youyou more than 3 billion yuan in profits.
"This project also encountered bottlenecks at the beginning. Most of Ms. Shen's technologies were theoretical, and some had not been proven in practice. The technical team we hired was initially limited by technical difficulties and was stuck for more than a month. Fortunately, they were all overcome." Xie Ran said.
Xu Youyou listened to this and tilted her head to think about it. It seemed that the time when the technical team overcame the difficulties was just shortly after she signed Liu Xiangyi.
Xie Ran continued, "Although we have overcome the technical difficulties, it is not easy to find a buyer in a short time. We are lucky that the local tycoons in the Middle East are interested in our technology and are willing to pay a high price."
Xu Youyou did not expect that things would turn out like this. A certain country in the Middle East is famous for its rich gold mineral resources. It is famously rich. When they spend money, they are never stingy. If you quote them in RMB, they may settle the bill in US dollars at a one-to-one ratio.
Xu Youyou suddenly felt that the twelve times profit immediately became reasonable for them.
"You have earned so much money, so you must not default on paying Ms. Shen. If necessary, you should give her some extra money. Just think of it as making a friend of her with all your heart." Xu Youyou reminded.
Xie Ran nodded and said, "Boss, don't worry. The twelve times profit has already deducted Ms. Shen's share. I plan to give Ms. Shen a villa in the capital in the name of the company. I originally planned to give it to you for review after the plan is completed."
Xu Youyou suddenly felt that she was still too conservative about the big investors in a certain Middle Eastern country. Ms. Shen invested in the company with technology and already accounted for 30% of the profits. Even so, the company could still get twelve times the profits.
"Do you have any idea which villa you want to buy? I agree with this plan, but there is one requirement. The price of the villa cannot be less than 300 million." Xu Youyou said.
Although Shen Wenxing returned to China for development, scientific researchers like her only participate in certain specific scientific research projects of the country. The project she cooperated with Xu Youyou was a scientific and technological project that she led and developed herself when she was in a foreign research studio. It has nothing to do with current domestic research institutes, so the scientific research patent is in her own hands.
Xie Ran once again sighed in his heart that Xu Youyou was extremely generous as a boss and really did not have any bad habits of a capitalist. She did not understand technology, but she really understood people's hearts, which was why her path was particularly smooth.
Xu Youyou's wallet is now full. Sometimes she can spend the whole day shopping without losing any weight on her wallet. Her life is like lying on a mountain of gold. Occasionally, she feels like drawing her sword and looking around, feeling confused.
Anyway, she has more money than she can spend in her lifetime, so why not do as Mrs. Xu at the orphanage has always taught her: If you are successful, you should help the world.
She is unwilling to squeeze out every penny, but some people are eager to pocket every last bit of profit.
"If the price of down jackets goes up, then just change to something else. Why do you need to fill them so much? People who buy down jackets can't feel the difference at all." Father Gu finished the call with a gloomy face.
The eldest son Gu Fengchuan frowned and said, "Dad, our family has not been doing well in the past two years. We can raise the price of down jackets, but we must not sell inferior products as good ones, so as to avoid being caught by competitors..."
Gu Fengchuan's words made sense, but Father Gu refused to listen. Instead, he said, "Don't worry. We have someone to keep our family in check now. No matter how big the problem is, it won't turn the tables."
Gujia started out as a clothing business, of which the down business was only a part of the clothing business, not the main force.
In the past few years, the Gu family has been based on the clothing business and has also expanded into real estate and technology businesses. Although they have not yet become the top of the industry, before jumping on the big ship of Star Diamond, they have no problem making money steadily.
But the collapse of Star Diamond brought about such a huge chain reaction that if the Gu family had not sent their two children abroad to invite the Red Dragon King to perform a ritual, the Gu family would have been reduced to ruins long ago.
The Gu family suffered a lot because of this incident. The Gu family's capital chain is now very tight, and Gu's father is eager to get money from other places.
"You're right. We still have to raise prices. This year, the price of down jackets will increase, and other brands of down jackets will definitely follow suit. We can't fall behind." Father Gu said confidently.
Gu Fengchuan's brows and heart kept beating fast. He always felt that his father's sudden cost reduction and price increase might bring about an irreparable impact on the Gu family.
"Dad, why don't we just forget it? Let's think of other solutions. In case we meet someone stupid enough to take apart our down jackets for testing..." said Gu Fengchuan.
Father Gu insisted on his own way and said, "You think too much. In the down jacket category, our family is not even the leader. Even if the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up, so it won't hit us."
Gu Fengchuan wanted to persuade him again, but his father interrupted him and said directly: "You should take care of your health during this period of time, and don't worry about the company's affairs. There are still the second and third children. If all else fails, Xueying is also very smart and can help me solve my problems."
When Gu Fengchuan heard this, a dark light flashed in his eyes. It had been nearly a year and a half since he had his bone marrow matched.
His father originally treated him as the definite successor, but over the past year or so, he clearly felt that he seemed to be marginalized in the company.
He was not responsible for any important company business, and his father seemed to be on guard against him. If the second and third sons were not still focusing on their own industries, Gu Fengchuan would have suspected that his power was about to be taken away.
"Dad, I've raised him for more than a year." Gu Fengchuan said.
Father Gu smiled and said, "I was too worried when you fell ill last time. Dad is old and can't stand it a second time."
For a moment, Gu Fengchuan didn't know whether what his father said was true or not.
Father Gu added: "Don't overwork yourself. If you are too busy, I will ask Xiao Gu to help you more."
The "Little Gu" that Gu's father mentioned is not a member of the Gu family, but a young man with the same surname Gu. This man is a returned overseas PhD who was hired by the company with a high salary. He graduated from a famous foreign university and is about the same age as Gu Fengchuan. Since joining the company, he has been particularly valued by Gu's father.
Xiao Gu and Gu Fengchuan also have a very good relationship. It was Gu Fengchuan who recruited him back then. Gu Fengchuan always thought that Xiao Gu was his direct descendant. After hearing this, he hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
Father Gu added, "Yu Ji is busy, so you should go on the trip to Hong Kong next month on behalf of the Gu family. I don't trust anyone else to take care of this."
