Chapter 1023
Although it did not meet his expectations, the people present had the opposite view to his, so he had to take care of their feelings and did not show any other emotions.
Hearing this, Tang Shan hurriedly stood up and gave a brief but comprehensive account and report on the project he was in charge of.
At the same time, some bad points were brought up and improvements were felt necessary.
All in all, with the continuous development, the major projects that Super Dimensional Technology currently has, have gradually penetrated into various grassroots levels.
If there are no surprises, then it is expected that in the next two to three years, it is guaranteed that more than five billion people in the world will have products from Future Technology.
Whether it's cars, MS chips, all kinds of graphene products, super generation mobile phones, super star electronic watches, AI products, LL Rose always has one they have to choose from.
After the report of the meeting, all the senior management finished their work, overall, Li Linfei was still satisfied, the most satisfied was Cheng Ze's report.
Cheng Ze, Senior Vice President of Retail at Future Technology, specialising in offline retail, was poached by Li Bingling a year ago, and after Li Linfei agreed to appoint him as Vice President of Retail.
What does Cheng Ze do? He used to be in the garment industry, that is, selling clothes, so he crossed over into the technology industry, is he familiar with the industry?
This is definitely not possible, but of course for a small number of people it is definitely possible. There is another example, Angela Ahrendts, who is currently the President of Apple Retail, used to be in the garment business, and was poached by Cook at eight times her salary, which is higher than Cook's own salary.
After she took over as Apple's President of Retail, she lived up to Cook's expectations and doubled Apple's sales several times over.
And Ching Chak, not to be outdone by the fact that he came out of the same industry as Angela Ahrendts, has moved with a drift since taking over as VP of retail at Future Tech.
He is primarily responsible for mobile phone retailing, and it's been a year of flying abroad for three days and two days to triple Supergeneration's mobile phone from its current base.
Another thing, when the Super Generation Mobile division was formed in Norway, what to do when the grassroots staff and the middle were not enough, this guy ran to Apple Norway to make a fuss, and then Apple Norway existed in name only.
What he went to do, of course, is to recruit staff ah, now recruiting might as well recruit experienced, his approach is to spend money, raise wages, shop manager level higher, and then Apple Norway is finished.
This incident was known to Cook, heard of being angry straight slap the table, and then hurriedly flew to Norway to see Cheng Ze, looking for him to protest, but Cheng Ze dodged and did not see him, but brought him a sentence, have the ability to raise wages ah.
This sentence makes Cook speechless, who let people have money, Apple's stock are almost down, where to get so much money to raise wages.
When Cook left, he jumped in again and said that he would hire Angela Ahrendts at three times her current salary.
This panicked Cook and rushed to talk to Angela Ahrendts, but there was just no money for a pay rise, and luckily Angela Ahrendts still had feelings for her old boss and didn't leave.
Soon Cheng Ze's tumultuous operation began again, digging around Apple offline retail people, Cook had no choice but to touch endure, and now Apple was beaten without a fight.
......
The future of technology executives in a meeting, the same time online buzz, because the Forbes ranking updated.
Originally, it was supposed to be published last month, but there were some internal problems with Forbes, so it was postponed to this month.
"The ranking for the first fiscal quarter of this year was supposed to be updated at the beginning of last month, but due to some force majeure factors, it was postponed to this month."
"As a result, Forbes Magazine conducted a study and decided that it will publish the corporate and individual wealth rankings, as well as specific data, for the first three months of the year directly this month."
"Some of these corporate figures are not available to the public, so we can only make a rough guess, and if any of you know the details, you are very welcome to submit them to us." After a short paragraph of editorial, it was time to get down to business.
First, there are the business rankings.
Number one, without a doubt, from last year is Future Technologies.
This year, with the input of the car and Super Generation II and the LL Rose that has just been put in, it is naturally still Future Technology.
There is certainly no change in the rankings, but there are quite a few changes in the figures.
Sales for the three months: $978.5 billion. Profits: US$508.9 billion (rough guess, no details)
Total assets: $2,085.4 billion - $2,423 billion.
Number of employees: over 10 million. Debt ratio: 0%.
Listed valuation: $70,000 million to start with.
Valuation: Future Technologies is an emerging company and currently the number one company in the world.
It has dozens of industries and operates in all major manufacturing sectors, all over the world.
Second in the corporate ranking is China's Industrial and Commercial Bank, while second in the Fortune 500 list is Wal-Mart Supermarket.
Of course, no matter how the two magazines rank, Future Technology is number one anyway. And in the personal assets ranking.
First: Linfei Li, Chairman of Future Technology, with personal assets of US$108.79 billion (a conservative estimate).
Second: Bill Gates, Microsoft, personal assets of 110.8 billion USD.
Third: Hades, President of Future Technologies Europe, with personal assets of US$98.5 billion.
Fourth: Fried, President of Future Technologies Americas, personal assets of US$ 88.6 billion.
Fifth: Warren Buffett, Berkshire, personal assets of US$82 billion.
......
Tenth: Bing Ling Li, President of Future Technologies, personal assets of US$72 billion.
This is now a worldwide ranking of the personal assets of explicit entrepreneurs.
Of the top ten, Future Technology accounts for four of them, which positively shows how powerful Future Technology is.
Of course, the figure of more than a trillion dollars in assets for that one man, Li Linfei, is truly terrifying.
The combined wealth of the other nineteen people in the top twenty of the Forbes list is not as much as his alone.
The richest man in the world, indeed.
As soon as the Forbes ranking was updated, it immediately caused a stir on the internet.
Chapter 1024
Because at the end of last year, Future Technology was number one on the Forbes corporate list, but its total assets were only a trillion dollars at that time. And it's only been three fucking months since then, and it's doubled.
Of course, the most terrifying thing was the Forbes personal assets list. When they saw Li Linfei at the top of the list with US$108.79 billion in personal assets, many people almost had a heart attack.
You know, yesterday afternoon, the Forbes list of billionaires, Su Cheng's assets only 300 billion U.S. dollars.
Of course, after learning more about it, everyone knew that yesterday's figures were actually just last year's figures.
One moment.
The Wall Street Journal: The most powerful company ever, with total assets of over two trillion dollars!
The New York Times: A giant from China, an unshakeable super presence.
The Tokyo Daily News: Toyota loses not unfairly, FutureTech debt ratio 0%, unheard of.
The Associated Press: Valued at half a trillion dollars on IPO, the horror of FutureTech
The Chinese People's Daily: Forbes ranking updated, Future Technology continues to lead, Super Dimensional Technology holds four in the rich list.
Xinhua News: The rich and powerful Li Linfei, with assets of over a trillion dollars.
The news media is often the sharpest in its sense of smell.
Soon after the Forbes list was announced, the world's major media, each in their own way, wrote the most visually striking articles in the shortest possible time.
At the same time, all those analysts on Wall Street, one by one, also published their insights on their blogs.
This time, no one dared to stand up and hack Li Linfei, nor did anyone dare to hack Future Technology.
Just kidding, they are getting more and more fierce, with sales of over US$900 billion in three months and an IPO valuation of over US$5 trillion.
If Future Technology were to go public, it would instantly become a national economy comparable to the third largest in the world.
It's only been two years and it has reached this point. If it is given another seven or eight years to develop, it is unknown to what extent it will grow, but it will definitely be more powerful than now anyway.
Li Linfei was not aware of the buzz on the internet, he had already finished his meeting, he was at the First Research Institute at this time because Li Yi had told him that the copy of the design he had given from the system had been produced, so he was heading here after the meeting
This technology was not spearheaded by Li Yi, but of course there was no need for Li Yi to do this kind of thing, the peripheral core research institute could also produce it.
The First Postgraduate Peripheral Research and Development Laboratory, although peripheral, was just as tightly guarded.
Li Linfei was in an isolated lab, but he was wearing a normal suit, and there were several other engineers and researchers in white coats inside.
Shortly afterwards, one of the researchers brought in a fully transparent sheet, which was difficult to spot for a while unless one looked closely at his gestures, and it was a sheet of carbon nanotube composite film material.
The researcher laminated the carbon nanotube composite film to the surface of a funnel-shaped device, after which another researcher brought in a jar of water.
The water is clear, but it is actually a very complex multi-component aqueous solution, containing 11 macronutrients, including oxygen, sodium, light, sulphur, calcium, potassium, bromine, carbon, gill, boron and fluorine, as well as trace elements such as iron, molybdenum and iodine, and gold, silver and cadmium.
This jar of aqueous solution is in fact the water called out in the Xiangjiang River. The concentration ratio between the macronutrients in the water is almost constant, constant and universal, so there is no need to go to the Persian Gulf or the Yellow Sea to take water for study.
The vast majority of the chemical elements dissolved in seawater are in the form of salt ions, with sodium chloride being the most abundant, accounting for 88.6%, and sulphate accounting for around 10.8%.
At this point, after confirming that the carbon nanotube composite membrane was in place, the researcher poured the seawater into the funnel-shaped device and within a short time, clear water began to flow from the end.
At the same time, the data obtained from the funnel-shaped experimental equipment was fed back to the display panel, and the data monitor immediately said with surprise, "The H2O passage rate has reached 84.3%, and the salt removal capacity has exceeded the minimum value allowed by the theoretical level."
At these words Li Linfei suddenly fetched a disposable cup, then picked up half a cup of water under the funnel-shaped equipment and drank it without saying a word, nodding silently, "Well, that's not bad."
Seeing several researchers in the lab looking at him, Li Linfei said calmly, "You guys try some too."
The filtered fresh water was still flowing quietly from the end of the funnel-shaped equipment, and several of the researchers took a cup and took a small sip before drinking it all up.
"Well, it's not any different from drinking pure water!"
"In fact it's probably cleaner than even groundwater."
"It tastes good!"
"And you can still taste it? Is it still a bit sweet? The boss is here but you can't make it sound so perfunctory, it's over the top clam!"
"Haha!" Several researchers laughed and talked happily, and even drank a few more glasses, the mood of the crowd is very very not that is this set of fresh water development technology can come out of the laboratory and put into practical application on a large scale.
The crowd was in awe of Li Linfei, without the data he had provided it would not have been possible to progress so well.
At this moment, a young engineering researcher in the laboratory once again received a glass of water that had been desalinated and could be used directly, and said with emotion: "To be honest, sometimes I envy the Brazilians, their country's land is so rich and their location is so privileged."
"In our country, once I would fly from the south-east coast to the north-west and I would find that the vegetation on the ground was getting thinner and thinner the further north-west I flew until I entered the north-west and then it was a completely desertified landscape, and at that time I really envied Brazil. We were a country with scarce water resources and a particularly uneven distribution, with droughts in the north and floods in the south."
After a pause, he continued, "I am domiciled in Yanjing, and I am well aware of the severe water shortage in northern China, the serious over-exploitation of groundwater, the gravity satellites revealing that the capital's water table is becoming increasingly grim, and the country's passage of the South-North Water Transfer still makes it difficult to meet the water needs of the North China Plain."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but be energised: "In the future it will be different, once this desalination technology is applied on a large scale, in the future it will be possible to directly insert a pipe into the Bohai Sea to nourish the severely water-starved North China Plain, water resources can be said to be inexhaustible."
