Tech Life Chapter 985-986

 Chapter 985

A week later, Li Linfei returned home, and then his mother gave Li Linfei the cosmetic factory to work on.


        So what happened was that after merging the Wen Wen cosmetic factory, Li Lin Fei directly set up a cosmetic company, which was a direct announcement that Future Technology was entering the cosmetic field.


        Li Linfei redeemed a farming technology from the system and directly contracted a large portion of the land in his hometown of An County in Xiang City, specifically to grow flowers, yes, flowers, as to what effect, we will find out later.


        Some people were recruited locally to clear the weeds. It took five whole days to get it done, and we started to level the land, then trench and start the monopoly, as planned.


        On 15 November, automatic drip irrigation agricultural equipment was installed, while workers drew chalk lines, or lime lines, in the ground, row by row, with each row spacing specified so that the roses were planted in good order.


        However, in order not to be too shocking, the grass ash, straw and rain-proof film that should be scattered were also laid on as well.


        On 20 November, Li Linfei asked the workers to move the rose seeds that had long been exchanged from the warehouse. In fact, the seeds were soaked in jade liquid for a few hours and that was enough, so he took them out and soaked them in some growing liquid, they were about to sprout, so if they were not planted again it would be easy to destroy the shoots, the system cannot bring plants back from the dead even if they are powerful.


        In fact, planting is very simple, one person is responsible for one acre of land, and one acre is planted with 5000 plants.


        One person is responsible for an acre of land, planting 5,000 plants per acre. Using a branch as thick as a chopstick, one inserted it into the soil where the planting position was already laid out, slightly deeper than 40mm, then filled in the rose seeds, flicked the soil with one hand and it was done.


        By the afternoon of the second day, one hundred acres of rose seeds had been planted, which was really efficient.


        On 25 November, thorny vines were planted around the rose patch, about 1½ metres wide.


        As for watering the plants, it was so easy, with automatic drip irrigation equipment, you just pump the water into a couple of pressure irrigations you bought, close the hatch, turn on the machine, flush the water pressure to a certain pressure and then open the irrigation valve.


        Each water irrigation has a volume of nearly dozens of square meters, mixed with the growth solution redeemed by the system in proportion, and there is no need for Li Linfei to go to the fields to pour the growth solution himself.


        The concentration of the growing solution that Li Linfei started with was relatively high, to speed up the growth of the rose seeds in the early stages, and then reduce the concentration of the growing solution after the rose seeds sprouted out of the soil, so that outsiders could not see anything suspicious.


        Although the workers have finished planting the roses, they still need to take care of them at a later stage, weeding, fertilising, pruning the branches, putting on flower covers, harvesting, packing and transporting.


        So Li Linfei is paid by the length of work, less work for less work, more work for more work, and he can go home when he is done.


        Rural villagers have never grown roses before, so they need to train workers.


        Li Linfei gave the information to the group leader who had the cultural knowledge, and then let the group leader train himself.


        Li Linfei only needed to put the prepared growing solution into the pressure irrigation regularly, and the workers were responsible for irrigation.


        This rose takes about two months to grow from bud to flowering stage in good conditions.


        The main stem is branched, meaning that each seed may have several flowers, and as a rule only two buds are left on the main stem and the branches are pruned off, i.e. two flowers per crop, usually four to five crops a year.


        After planting the next day rose buds have emerged, some villagers also asked how to grow so fast, Li Linfei can only go back to the company equipped with growth solution, high cost, coupled with good management, but also very normal.


        Li Linfei saw the rose garden planting end some time ago, only to wait for the roses to grow taller, start pruning, so that the main trunk branching.


        The cosmetic company was also almost ready for the preparations, and the flowers would be available in two months, so there was no great hurry.


        But one thing caught Li Linfei's attention. Older sister was very strange lately, leaving early and returning late.


        Saturday, December 5, 8am, the sky was overcast, everything in the distance was blurred and it looked as if it was going to rain.


        At the entrance to the villa, Li Linfei looked at his sister, who was fully dressed and full of energy, and was a little puzzled: "Aren't you sleeping in this morning?"


        Li Xiaomin blinked her soulful autumn eyes and said with a smile, "I'm not sleeping, I have something very important to do today."


        "What's so important, why don't I know?" Li Linfei asked.


        For ordinary people, it was normal to get up early to run errands, but when it came to Li Xiaomin, it was slightly bizarre because she wouldn't get up until noon almost every Saturday and Sunday.


        "I didn't tell you, so you must not know. It's a good thing, but the time is not ripe yet, so I'll tell you when I'm done, it'll be a surprise. " Li Xiaomin said while raising her eyebrows, her mysterious and delicate appearance made Li Linfei even more curious about what exactly the important thing she was talking about was.


        Li Linfei said, "It doesn't matter if it's a surprise or not, I'll support you if you want to play, but don't make a shock at the end."


        The corners of Li Xiaomin's mouth twitched and she said with a straight face, "No, no, it's definitely a surprise, you're my brother and I'm your sister, would I screw you over? You still don't trust me?"


        "I do." Li Linfei gazed at his sister for two moments and suddenly burst out laughing.


        "Do you want me to give you a lift." Li Linfei asked.


        "No, you go about your business, don't mind me." Li Xiaomin said.


        Then smiling, she said, "Alright, I'll go first, bye bye oh."


        Staring at Li Xiaomin's back until she entered her little BMW that Li Linfei had given her and started the car to disappear, Li Linfei only withdrew his gaze and left the villa as well.


        Li Linfei also went to the office, and when he arrived, he looked at the document that Nini Wang had sent over.


        It was the sales of Super Generation II.


        Li Linfei flipped through the first page and scanned it a few times, smiling.


        The report stated that from the pre-sale to 10pm on the 20th of December, Future Technology had pre-sold two months' worth of sales, with the total number of units at 32.61 million.


        Of these, China accounted for 21.24 million units, while in North America, it was a little less at 11.37 million units.


        In China, a Super Generation II is priced at 5,998, while in North America it is $2,000, so although China sold more units, North America actually had the upper hand in terms of revenue and profits.


Chapter 986

Combined, sales of Super Generation II, last month, amounted to US$41.6 billion.


        In the case of Super Gen One, there was a decline in sales because of the input of Super Gen Two.


        Of course, in China and North America, the market for Super Generation One is actually in its late stages, allowing the input of Super Generation Two to replace Super Generation Two One and keep the market active in order to dominate the global mobile phone market more quickly.


        "Not bad, the numbers are pleasing." Li Linfei nodded slightly.


        "Apart from mobile phones, the following is the sales report for cars." Nini Wang said.


        Li Linfei scrolled down, found the car sales report, and started browsing through it.


        However, after taking a glance, Li Linfei shook his head as the data was not comprehensive and there were big missing parts.


        The reason is that car sales are not like mobile phone sales, as mobile phones are small and easy to carry.


        But with cars, not only are they bigger, but they are more expensive, even the cheapest hybrid HFH1 costs at least US$20,000, and with insurance and other miscellaneous features, it takes a long time to close a deal on one.


        So, generally speaking, the sales figures for cars are only counted once a quarter or half a year, as it's a short period of time and the statistics are not comprehensive.


        And, there are car sellers from all over the world who have approached Future Technology for cooperation, and there are currently more than a thousand car sellers, who have not signed contracts and are still waiting in the queue.


        Of course, the data is not complete only for HFH1 and E1, as for Ferrari N1, because of the expensive price, so Future Technology conducts one-to-one sales, even if those sports car dealers pick up the car, but also full payment, there is no room for negotiation.


        From last month to now, the number of Ferrari N1s sold, reached 14,000 units.


        Nearly six thousand of them were bought by car salesmen from all over the world, and the rest were basically all cars wanted by tycoons from all over the world.


        And with the highly efficient output of Future Technology, 14,000 sports cars, those suitable to go through the tunnel, and those not suitable, were directly called in for air transport on the Transport 20.


        At the end of last year, all the Ferrari N1s that had been paid for were delivered to customers in a stable manner.


        Many of the car buyers said that the speed of service from Future Technology was first class. And without looking at anything else, the number of Ferrari N1s sold reached 14,000, which translates into a value of seventy billion dollars.


        This revenue, which has not yet been announced by Future Technology, I am afraid that once it is announced, the world will cause another stir.


        In addition, as Future Technology's plate gets bigger and bigger, Future Technology needs a large number of talents in different fields, such as marketing executives, finance directors, human resources executives and so on in various regions.


        These talents, relying on Future Technology's own internal job fairs, are obviously not enough. And working with other headhunters was sometimes inconvenient, so at Li Bingling's suggestion, and with the need to lose money, Li Linfei directly bought out Rosen Headhunting, which is a top ten headhunting company in the world.


        With a capital of US$30 billion, he acquired 87% of the shares of Russell Executive Search, and Future Technology, in turn, became the first major shareholder of Russell Executive Search.


        This makes it much easier for Future Technology and Russell Reynolds to join forces and hire professionals for a particular position.


        All this said, it probably means that Li Linfei has managed to spend more than US$400 billion in these three months.


        In short, last month's Future Technology made a profit of over US$180 billion.


        And as far as Li Linfei knew, only a dozen tonnes of metallic hydrogen could have been bought last month, ah, and the revenue was less than ten billion dollars.


        From the side, this shows that Future Technology has started to make significant profits in all major markets around the world.


        For Li Linfei, as hard as he has tried to lose his money, the speed at which he spends it is still too slow to catch up with the speed at which he makes money.


        He also does not know whether this is a blessing or a curse, for the time being there is no answer, alas, defeat is really hard.


        ......


        It's New Year's Day, and it's almost New Year's Day, but this New Year's Day, it's someone who's going to give him a hard time.


        The reason is that the movement in the field of future technology cars has caused a sense of crisis among hundreds of car manufacturers around the world, so they have joined forces to spend a total of 200 billion dollars, not only to develop new models, but also to significantly reduce the price of cars in the existing car market, in order to suppress future technology.


        In the office, Li Linfei sat leisurely still sipping his coffee, not worrying in the least about these problems.


        "Mr. Li, aren't you worried?" Nini Wang asked anxiously.


        "Worried about what?" Li Linfei smiled.


        "They're spending $200 billion, ah, there are three hundred car manufacturing companies around the world, led by Toyota, Volkswagen, Daimler and BMW Group, and also including domestic automakers like FAW, BYD, Great Wall, Geely and so on."


        Nini Wang said, "So many car makers, united into the Anti-Vi Society, forming a large collective with assets of over two trillion dollars, and they are now declaring war on us."


        "The internet is all over the place, we need to do something about it."


        "I'm not even in a hurry, what's your hurry." Li Linfei laughed.


        "But this time is different from usual, no one used to unite against us, but now it's the world's auto giants, all of them want to target us ah."


        "There's no rush, here, add some hot water." Li Linfei said as he handed her the cup.


        Nini Wang took the glass of water and went to fetch water.


        Sitting in his office chair, Li Linfei turned on his 3D projection device and went online to watch the news.


        At a glance, he found that the situation on the internet was similar to what Nini Wang had said.
