Chapter 948: Daily Life

The Mercedes business car drives on the road neither fast nor slow, with traffic rushing outside and melodious music inside.

Work is not far away; driving along Zhijiang Road by the river, passing a few traffic lights, and then making a turn, you arrive. Starting from home, counting all kinds of messy time, the whole journey is only twenty minutes.

On the road, there are pedestrians, traffic, and electric scooters; no matter what, they are all people living their lives.

There are always so many office workers, and the places near office buildings are always so crowded. Long Teng Group has developed and grown rapidly. In just over a year, it has developed from a small workshop to a large company with more than 3,000 employees. The office locations are scattered in five office buildings near this CBD business district, and it is very lively every day.

One of Wang Yan's main jobs now is to interview various talents and expand the company's team. More than 3,000 employees, of course, is not the capacity of a large company. 100,000 employees working directly, millions of people relying on the large company for food in the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, directly affecting the food and life problems of tens of millions of people including their families. Plus various research and investment outputs, etc., is the value of a large company's existence.

Coming to the current Boss Wang, naturally, there is greater value; he is, after all, a man carrying a debt of over a trillion. And this trillion, reflected in the next ten years, is an impact of ten trillion or even twenty trillion. At the same time, it also effectively solves many debt problems, economic problems, etc., to a certain extent.

Solving problems by relying on incremental growth is naturally better than regulation by relying on moving money from the left hand to the right hand.

Greeting people with a smile all the way, occasionally calling out people's names, and caring about problems, Wang Yan helps the big-bellied Wei Lan to her office, and then goes upstairs to his own office.

Just sitting down and drinking the tea brewed by his assistant, opening the computer, Zhao Fu knocks on the door and walks in.

"Good morning, Wang Zong."

"Morning, what business?" Wang Yan asks with a smile.

Now the two have worked together for a long time and are already familiar with each other. Zhao Fu has also opened up a little bit; he knows that Wang Yan is a truly casual and free-spirited person.

So Zhao Fu doesn't stand on ceremony, sitting opposite Wang Yan's desk: "The land acquisition work in Huludao has been completely completed. Construction units such as China Railway, China State Construction, China Railway Construction, Beijing Urban Construction, and other construction units have fully started work. Regarding construction issues, I still need to communicate with you again. In addition, there is the matter of planning, which needs your nod. So it is best for you to take time to go there in person.

There is also the matter of Long Teng Bank. You have to make the decision on this aspect. Did President Wei tell you?"

"She told me this morning. This matter, it's not hard to handle. After all, it's a joint-stock enterprise with state-owned assets, and our bank is certainly not a private bank. The purpose of its establishment is the same as local banks opened by local governments. It is mainly for the company's future growth and to facilitate financial operations. At most, it's just to issue wages to employees, the savings business brought about by this, and then a small amount of lending business, that's all."

"At most, it's just to provide savings and lending services to the masses in Huludao in the future, and do some financial activities, earning the interest money from savings; there is nothing else."

"We don't have any special rules, and employees don't have iron rice bowls either. President Zhao, are you interested? If you are interested, this work can be handed over to you, which can also be considered training. You used to work in central government agencies and were exposed to more macro things; your practical experience in this aspect is definitely insufficient. In the future, when you are in charge of a region, this will all be experience."

"I know you are the best at arranging work for people."

"This is knowing people and assigning them to the right tasks." Wang Yan smiles and takes a sip of tea, "Then it's settled. I want to meet the president, vice president, manager, and finance personnel; as for the rest, you make the final decision. No matter how special a bank is, it is still a company; it's no big deal. Don't be afraid of problems; there is no absolutely safe thing. You understand the principles, so I don't need to nag you much; just let go and do it."

Zhao Fu nods repeatedly; he naturally understands the meaning of Wang Yan's words, which is not to have a bureaucratic style.

"Then where is the bank's address arranged?"

"First arrange an office in Huludao city and make do with it. Our headquarters has planned a banking area, so we don't have to worry about not having a place."

"Okay, I know. Then about going to Huludao..."

"Let's forget about that. Wei Lan is already seven months pregnant; I'd better stay close, and I'll feel more at ease. Let's set a time in the next two days for a video conference. Technology has developed to this extent; remote is the same for understanding clearly. If I go there, it's nothing more than climbing mountains, talking to leaders at all levels, and contacting leaders of construction units. How long can you talk about serious business?"

Zhao Fu nods with a smile: "Wang Zong sees it clearly. However, seeing it in person is always good, saving a certain amount of communication costs. After all, everything is clearly there, so seeing it in person is also reassuring."

"It's all arranged by the country; what can I have to worry about?"

"Okay, let's set it for today. They are also waiting for news; they should contact you in a while." Zhao Fu gets up and leaves decisively.

Wang Yan continues to sit there drinking tea and looking at the computer.

Although Zhao Fu is a government person, he works at Long Teng and actually shares some work, not just carrying out party affairs within Long Teng Group. For example, the construction of the general zone, internal personnel, external government contact, etc., are all handled by Zhao Fu, which indeed helps Wang Yan share quite a lot of work.

His work ability is very strong. He might not have been used to it at the beginning, but now he has done a very good job, can be called handy, and is a great talent.

His work speed is also very fast. He just talked to Wang Yan, and Wang Yan hasn't looked at the computer for long before he tells him on the internal communication software that they are going to have a meeting, and pulls up a meeting video.

There are many people attending the meeting: Wang Yan, Wei Lan, Zhao Fu, as well as the person in charge of the Huludao construction site, the person in charge of the construction unit, as well as some people from the government working group, as well as planners, designers, etc.

This office software is, of course, Long Teng's own, integrating many functions, but it's nothing more than those. Stability, smoothness, efficiency, and confidentiality are the significance of its existence.

Wei Lan enters the meeting for only three seconds. After looking at the meeting title, agenda, and attendees, she smiles and exits.

This is where the software is different. It will generate meeting logs and simultaneously retain video files. Also, under the function of the powerful artificial intelligence language module, every sentence spoken by the attendees will be written down, and a meeting report will be generated synchronously, which is to summarize the content discussed, what problems were raised, who raised them, what solutions there were, and who raised them. It is retained together with the video file, which is convenient for future retrieval and traceability, and of course, convenient for attendees to view.

However, even with the meeting summary, people are accustomed to getting paper and pen. On one hand, it is to avoid program errors; on the other hand, it seems that without paper and pen, it doesn't show solemnity.

This meeting has three points: first, to tell Wang Yan that work has fully started, as well as the completion time of some facilities; second, to tell Wang Yan that the budget has been further raised to 1.5 trillion; third, for the heads of various departments to build relationships with Wang Yan and make some guarantees.

The important part is, of course, the second point: the budget has been raised again, and from the previous 1.2 trillion, it has been raised to 1.5 trillion.

The number is too big, and one becomes numb looking at it. Now seeing 1.2 trillion, it is far from as pleasant as the hundreds of thousands at the beginning; it is a kind of fatigue. To this, Wang Yan is even more fatigued; he really has no fluctuation at all. Not to mention 1.2 trillion, even if it were 10 trillion, he would still dare to acknowledge and pay it back.

This expenditure is the construction of some high-end laboratories added outside the original plan, as well as the construction of rocket launch platforms, as well as some land reclamation construction, maintenance construction on the upper reaches of the Liugu River, etc.

Laboratories are necessary to build, and there are many of them, of various types. Basic frontier scientific projects all have them; this is what Wang Yan has been doing for so many years. Moreover, he has to research many things before he can apply them.

The rocket launch platform was originally proposed by Wang Yan, but because this thing is really too high-precision and cannot be achieved in a short time, it was not listed. Now it has been added, which shows that there is nowhere to spend money.

As for the maintenance of the Liugu River, this is quite easy to understand. Suizhong has such a river, and the water volume and scenery naturally have to be guaranteed. The Liugu River is a downstream river of the Daling River, so it has to be maintained all the way to the Daling River. The villages along the way are considered to have shared some benefits. After all, similar operations that need to be carried out in the village are basically looking for nearby farmers to participate.

From this point of view, adding another 100 billion to the budget, distributed to various projects, totaling 1.6 trillion, is the final cost of the general zone construction. The scheduled construction period is eight years, but according to the "China speed," this construction period is very conservative, and it can probably be advanced by one to two years. And the preliminary use only takes more than a year.

Overall, this time is still good.

After the meeting, Wang Yan continues to look at the computer, recalling the previous affairs.

Currently, there are three businesses he needs to master: first, engine research and development; second, turning Long Teng applications into mobile phone smart assistants; third, carrying out the development work of the payment system. As for the rest of the various research, of course, they are also densely arranged in the to-do list, but these are all ideas he provides, and they are researched and implemented by various researchers; he is well grasping the progress.

Furthermore, businesses like Easy-Translate and artificial intelligence are already very mature. What he needs to pay attention to is the robot project; other things are trivial, and if there are no problems, they won't reach him.

Engine research and development is still supplementing personnel and accelerating research progress. According to the calculated man-hours, it will take about half a year. The mobile phone smart assistant project will be completed in more than a month. As for the final payment system, these all have mature frameworks, and development is not difficult. After recruiting enough personnel, and then he handles it together, it will be done in two or three months.

By then, the bank should also have been built and started operating, so it will be applied directly...

Just busy like this, various affairs are steadily advancing. With the Strength Pill as the foundation and trunk, and branch businesses like artificial intelligence as branches, it is continuously growing. Personnel are more than the day before, projects have progress day by day, and the overall situation is improving.

As for the lifeblood Strength Pill, before this, Wang Yan had already changed the latest formula and reduced some costs again. Multiple new fully automatic production lines were assembled and started production.

Its business development is already quite awesome; this is exponential development. After such a long period of fermentation, the current monthly sales in China have exceeded one million.

This, of course, is not the limit. If calculated by a family of three, this is only 300,000 rich people with an annual family income of over one million. But in fact, just the number of people in tax statistics is 700,000, plus those with hidden wealth, it should be over one million. Similarly, according to the data of a family of three, his sales should be over three million per month to touch most of the rich people in China.

This is still without calculating the situation of foreign middle class purchasing smuggled products.

And the number of foreign orders is much smaller, only about 250,000. But because one bottle sells for over 6,800 US dollars, even if the sales volume is much less, the sales amount is not much different.

In the Strength Pill sector, the current sales are roughly over 25 billion, with a 70% gross profit, about 18 billion or so. But this is just the sales amount for the latest month, not the eternal sales amount. It will still grow, whether it is domestic sales or foreign sales. With so many capitalist countries outside, how could there only be 25?

Annual sales of a trillion, easily.

He can toss out the current situation, all relying on the Strength Pill, which is really invincible. If not for this, even if he mastered the top artificial intelligence technology, it would be absolutely impossible to develop to this point in just two years. Without this money-printing machine, if he wanted to develop rapidly, he would have to introduce capital. Even if he introduced capital, it would be impossible to develop so fast, and he wouldn't even be able to catch up with one-tenth.

After all, he is someone doing artificial intelligence, researching rockets? And other biology, chemistry, life science, balanced ternary, quantum computers, photonic computers, etc., and even nuclear research. Which brain-damaged capital would let him do this?

In fact, for his research, the country also has reservations, which is to look at the fact that his money is really too much to spend, so they agreed to the research and opened up some projects for cooperation, or to put it another way, they are begging from him, and if there are results, they will appropriately give him some.

After all, the country is not easy either; there are too many things to research, and they are all in the unit of hundreds of millions. It is a good thing that someone is willing to spend money desperately...

Just like this, a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the "Living Father" found his "Good Son" on time.

"《Hunter》Xiong Qingchun: Happiness."

Happiness...

Wang Yan silently ponders; it seems he hasn't seen this familiar task for a long time... ===== CHAPTER 949 =====
