Chapter 30: Liu Jun: Trying To Fool An Idiot?
After seeing off Jin Qiaoying, Liu Jun followed Fan Ren to the office.
He slammed a folder in front of Fan Ren and said viciously: “Didn’t you read my expression? Huh?”
Fan Ren picked up the document. Good grief!
During this period, he had turned a deaf ear to matters outside, devoting himself entirely to factory design and R&D work.
The company account now pitifully had only 3 billion left!
Fan Ren put down the document, his hands awkwardly having nowhere to place, finally stroking his balls and said with an embarrassed smile: “What’s going on? I remember we had over 7 billion half a year ago?”
He didn’t pay much attention to finance; all that was handed over to Liu Jun to handle. At this moment, he didn’t even know where the money had gone.
Liu Jun almost couldn’t hold back, pointed at Fan Ren for a long time, finally helplessly put his hand down, picked up the folder and flipped through a few pages backward.
“Bro, we’re running an enterprise, not dividing spoils like Liangshan heroes. Look at what you’ve done!”
Saying that, he pointed to one of the entries.
Group Three completed the original tasks ahead of schedule: 50,000 reward for members, 100,000 for team leader.
Group Four completed assigned tasks on time: 20,000 reward for members, 30,000 for team leader.
“Do you know that in this half year, our company has mass-produced a small batch of millionaires?”
Fan Ren picked up the folder again and looked closely.
Good grief, didn’t realize until he looked—one look and he jumped.
He who had devoted himself entirely to design and R&D work, in order to motivate the engineers and complete the factory construction ahead of time, had issued around 200 million just in bonuses.
Inside the company, over 500 engineers followed him working day and night on the project; some single guys didn’t even go home, living directly in the company.
In half a year, besides a few team leaders who got million-level rewards, there were nearly a hundred people.
Plus nearly 200 million spent on company operations, and the battery assembly line he temporarily added at the factory, it was thanks to Liu Jun’s good housekeeping that 3 billion was left on the books.
Fan Ren felt a pang in his heart.
This was all his money!
But he remained stubborn on his lips, took out the cooperation intention he had just signed and said: “This, this is to complete the project ahead of time, see, the order has come.”
Liu Jun lightly rubbed his forehead and sighed helplessly.
He also knew Fan Ren came from a low background and had no real concept of numbers in the billions.
“Anyway, consult in the future. I don’t deny our engineers are great, but bonuses should be distributed more scientifically.”
He paused, then gritted his teeth and continued: “You’ve fed the R&D department engineers so fat, do other departments still have the mind to work well? It’s not about scarcity but inequality.”
Fan Ren was stunned; he indeed hadn’t considered this.
In his view, bonuses were earned by one’s own ability; why should others be jealous?
But from the company’s perspective, different departments have different functions; many departments have no other income sources.
Like the logistics clerks—could they get huge bonuses just by keeping accounts well?
Obviously not. Over time, it would be strange if they didn’t get jealous and cause conflicts.
On this point, he had indeed been narrow-minded.
Liu Jun looked at Fan Ren frowning tightly in front of him and lost his temper too. After a long while, he said: “Let it go this time; after all, the situation is special, and all departments know the company’s status quo. Take the marketing department—they run around all day, barely closing a few deals, but salaries and subsidies are paid in full without fail. And not to mention, everyone admires those beasts in the R&D department.”
At this, images of the young figures in the R&D department appeared before Fan Ren’s eyes.
They were all great.
Liu Jun skipped this topic and discussed with Fan Ren the company’s next plans.
Although San Xin Group and Xinghai had signed a cooperation agreement, it could only provide very limited help compared to the company’s development.
So far, Xinghai’s focus was still on high-voltage wireless charging piles.
It was just stalled due to setbacks in Linhai market expansion.
How to develop next, Liu Jun had no idea.
Fan Ren, however, had plans early on and smilingly pointed to a certain fund usage in the document.
“Look here—these equipment aren’t for producing wireless equipment. What do you think I procured them for, to put on the factory production line?”
Liu Jun looked for a long time, couldn’t figure it out, and shook his head.
Fan Ren smiled mysteriously: “Did you forget the patent I showed you last time?”
“You mean? That thing really works? No, Second Brother, I’m not doubting your technical strength, mainly this… this is too far-fetched. What thing, biological bone extract can replace…”
“What do you think? Do you know how graphene was discovered?”
Liu Jun shook his head; what he learned in university had long been returned to the teacher.
Fan Ren thought for a moment, picked up the tape on the desk, tore off a corner, then folded and tore repeatedly a few times.
“See, just like this. Not a metaphor— it was really discovered this way.”
Liu Jun curled his lips; he didn’t believe a ghost of it.
If you don’t want to say, just don’t; why fool him like an idiot.
“Fine, as long as you have it figured out. But know that even with San Xin’s 200 million order, the money on the company books won’t last long.”
Fan Ren irritably tossed the tape aside and strode out of the office.
“Wait and see—that thing is simple; I can get it done before my hair grows back.”
Indeed, discussing technology with Third Brother was just making trouble for himself.
Back in the office that was like home, Fan Ren took a cold shower in the inner room, changed into comfortable clothes, then lay on the temporary folding bed Zeng Yingying got for him.
Basic Science: Level 1 (198/1000)
Electronics: Level 1 (268/1000)
Mechanics: Level 1 (277/1000)
Materials Science: Level 1 (251/1000)
Space Science: Level 1 (5/1000)
Sure enough!
In this half year, to design the new factory, he had studied and researched a ton of knowledge, and experience points in the closely related disciplines had surged.
According to the previous logic of unlocking new technology every hundred points, he wondered what new technology would unlock when these categories reached the next 100.
With anticipation, Fan Ren gently closed his eyes.
He needed a good sleep. Unlike the R&D department engineers, Fan Ren still had to consider the company’s future.
The automatic smart factory was just one part of his plan. During factory construction, Fan Ren had already arranged procurement of battery assembly line equipment and completed its high-voltage wireless modification.
The engineers could rest next. He still had to strike while the iron is hot and develop the new solid-state battery.
Recalling the technical points of solid-state batteries in his mind, Fan Ren gradually fell into deep sleep.
Unlike when it was just founded, now Xinghai Technology was on the attention lists of major enterprises in the industry.
While Fan Ren was still sleeping, a phone call came to Ma Gaosheng’s mobile phone.
Deep into the night, disturbing clear dreams!
Ma Gaosheng angrily opened his eyes; he wanted to see which bastard dared call him in the middle of the night. Middle-aged, his sleep was already light; once woken, it was hard to sleep the rest of the night.
