Black technology: a super empire spanning two worlds

Chapter 91 [Xiao Mi is looking for graphene battery supply business]

As for the retail supermarket business, Xiao Yu himself did not expect it to bring much profit to the company.

He has only two expectations. First, he must be self-reliant while ensuring high incomes for his employees, and be able to maintain himself and achieve profitability without relying on continuous financial support from the company. Externally, he must fully protect the rights and interests of consumers, and not maintain operations and high incomes for internal employees by harming consumers by selling inferior goods as good ones.

As long as you can do these two things, you will be successful.

In a low-profit industry, it is necessary to ensure that employees are not exploited and have high wages, high incomes and good benefits, while ensuring that consumers do not buy inferior goods, and ensuring that supermarkets can have a surplus and operate sustainably.

The only way is to prevent the boss from monopolizing the vast majority of profits and surplus labor value.

In essence, the problem still needs to be solved from the perspective of "distribution".

It is the word "distribution" that is the key core of the Pang Donglai model. It is because Mr. Yu, as the boss, is willing to make concessions that the Pang Donglai model has been pushed to its peak.

If the boss refuses to make concessions, three results will occur: first, employees will be exploited with low incomes; second, consumers' rights will be infringed; and third, both employees will be exploited and consumers' rights will be infringed at the same time.

The key to the success of the Pangdonglai model lies in distribution, that is, the boss of the company is willing to distribute 90% of the profits to all employees, and he himself only takes less than 10% of the profits. This is also the fundamental reason why the Pangdonglai model is difficult to expand.

Capital is eager to take away 99% of the profits. It is ten times or even a hundred times more difficult to touch the interests than to touch the soul. How many people in the world can go against human nature like Mr. Yu and Xiao Yu? It can be said that they can be counted on one hand.

But on the other hand, although Xiao Yu is a big capital boss on the surface, he is not a capitalist at heart, because capitalists will never do such a thing as distributing the bulk of the profits to all employees.

……

After about twenty minutes, Xiao Yu explained some matters to the management team of the retail supermarket and left. Things here came to an end. After leaving the supermarket, he did not return to his villa, but turned to the headquarters of Lingjing Technology.

Matters in this area have been arranged in place, and Xiao Yu does not need to keep an eye on it all the time. He just needs to wait for the Pang Donglai team to complete the training and guidance work, introduce its model, and then see the final results.

The employees working in this retail supermarket undoubtedly cherish their jobs even more now. Many of them are secretly glad that they joined early, as it might not be so easy to get a job application letter in the future.

More vacation time and higher benefits will not cause employees to be lazy or slack off. This has been proven by the great success of Pang Donglai.

Instead, employees are worried that the supermarket will go bankrupt due to poor management and they will never be able to find another job as good as this.

After all, they are not high-tech talents, and the same job will definitely not have such treatment elsewhere. Because bosses like Mr. Yu and Xiao Yu are hard to come by, they naturally don’t want the supermarket to go bankrupt, so they will work hard and not be lazy.

Xiao Yu also made it clear that he didn't expect them to make much profit for the company. The boss didn't think much of this little bit of money. Whatever money can be earned will be shared among all the employees of the retail supermarket. He will give them a hand and support in the early stage, but he will not provide continuous blood transfusions without limit. If you want to maintain this job with high benefits for a long time, you must be self-reliant.

……

Office of the Chairman.

"Come in."

Yun Shu knocked on the door and came in.

Xiao Yu, who was sitting at his desk, looked up at the beautiful assistant who was walking slowly towards him, and immediately took out a document from the folder on the desk and handed it to her: "I have decided to divest the company's food processing, grain trading and retail supermarket businesses, and set up a subsidiary company independently from Lingjing Technology, which will be wholly owned by Lingjing Technology."

After all, these three businesses are traditional industries, and it would be more reasonable and scientific to spin them off independently.

After stripping them off, Xiao Yu did not throw them aside and let them develop without any care. Instead, he planned to help a group of workers and farmers get rich through these traditional industries. So he hoped that these industries could become bigger and stronger, rather than just a gust of wind that would pass and nothing would happen.

Yun Shu took the materials and asked: "After the spin-off, will this subsidiary be financially independent, or will its performance be consolidated with that of the parent company?" As long as the parent company directly or indirectly holds more than 50% of the shares of the subsidiary, it can consolidate the financial statements. There is naturally no problem with full ownership.

Xiao Yu pondered for a moment, thinking about the need for food in the Blue Star World, and immediately said, "Let's combine them."

Hearing this, Yun Shu nodded: "Well, when will the board meeting be held?"

This is a major adjustment for the company and requires a board vote. All necessary procedures must be followed.

Xiao Yu said: "In the next few days, please arrange a date. There is another matter that we will vote on and complete the procedure at that time."

At this point, Xiao Yu looked at the computer on his desk. The screen showed the company's stock price chart. The current closing price was 1007.00 yuan per share, and the market value had fallen back to 8740 billion yuan. After the company's stock price hit the 20-cent daily limit a few days ago, it had fallen back in the past two days. This was normal market fluctuation.

Xiao Yu retracted his gaze and turned to look at the beautiful assistant: "The second thing is that I have decided to split Lingjing Technology's shares into one hundred."

Xiao Yu knew that many retail investors were petitioning for a stock split, and there were many such messages on his private messages on Weibo.

They want to invest in Lingjing Technology, but small investors don't have much money. The company's stock price has now risen to 1 yuan per share, and the A-share market stipulates that the minimum purchase must be 1 lot, and 100 lot is equal to shares.

In other words, it costs 1 yuan to buy one share of Lingjing Technology now, and the total assets of most small retail investors' accounts may not even be 10 yuan.

The regulations of the domestic A-share market do not allow stock splits, but the same purpose can be achieved through high dividends and stock transfers.

The essence of high dividends and bonus shares is the internal structural adjustment of shareholders' equity. It has no impact on the return on net assets and no substantial impact on the company's profitability.

Only the total share capital of the company will expand, but the shareholders' equity of the company will not increase as a result, the shareholding ratio of investors will remain unchanged, and the total value of the stocks held will not change.

In fact, it is equivalent to holding 100 shares of 100 yuan stock. After 10 shares are given for every 10 shares, the number of shares held doubles, but the price per share is halved, and it becomes 200 shares of 50 yuan stock.
The total value of the two is actually the same, it’s just that the number of shares held has increased.

Yun Shu nodded and quickly noted it, then looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Xiaomi sent a group of executives to discuss the supply of graphene batteries today, and several manufacturers in the new energy vehicle field have come to Lingjing Technology for research and price inquiries, including Xiaomi Auto, which also wants to configure graphene batteries."

In the field of mobile power, the advantages of graphene batteries over traditional lithium batteries are very obvious.

In terms of energy density, graphene batteries are five times or even higher than lithium batteries, which means that at the same weight, graphene batteries can store more electrical energy, which is very beneficial for scenarios that require high endurance, such as new energy vehicles.

In terms of charging speed, lithium batteries generally take one to two hours to charge, and some fast charging technologies can shorten this time to about half an hour. The high conductivity of graphene materials makes them charge very quickly, and they can be fully charged in a few minutes. This is very practical for scenarios that require fast charging, such as new energy vehicles.

In terms of service life, the service life of lithium batteries is generally between 500 and 1000 charge and discharge cycles, depending on the model and quality of the battery. Due to the high strength and stability of graphene batteries, their service life can exceed 2000 charge and discharge cycles, or even longer, which means that graphene batteries have higher reliability and economy in long-term use.

It can be seen that compared with traditional lithium batteries, graphene batteries have great advantages, but their biggest disadvantage is the insufficient supply of production capacity.

After all, there are so many scenarios where graphene materials can be used, and many high-end industries have a great demand for this new material, but currently only Lingjing Technology can provide it at a low price and has the ability to mass-produce.

Even so, facing the strong demand in so many sub-industries, there is still a shortage of supply.

At this time, Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "It is better to wait for two years for new energy vehicles. The demand is too great. One car requires so much. How can the current production capacity supply such a large item as a car? It is better to supply it to smartphone terminals first, and then consider the application scenarios of new energy vehicles after the production capacity is increased."
