Chapter 121 The results for 2015 are released

These dazzling achievements are real, as long as Lu An says he wants to start a career in the commercial aerospace field, and is confident that he will surpass Elon Musk’s SpaceX in the next five to ten years.

 The country will most likely give its full support, and the inclination of related resources will definitely be indispensable, and several major national team companies will definitely be willing to take shares.

  After all, Luan’s level of innovative technology is obvious to all.

  "After the Spring Festival holiday, you will start to draw up a specific plan to establish a star power aerospace company." Lu An glanced at Meng Qiuyan and said.

  “How much is the registered capital of the company?” Meng Qiuyan nodded and asked in passing.

Lu An withdrew his gaze, thought about it for a while, and immediately made a decision: "Twenty billion."

Meng Qiuyan, who was making a memo, heard this number, and immediately raised his eyes to look at Lu An, and couldn't help but said: "If you don't let Star Power become a subsidiary of Yuanjie Intelligent Control, you will be independent. After registration, we can only contribute money in our own name, but the funds we have available now are only 5.5 billion. "

Last year, Yuanjie Intelligent Control distributed cash dividends. After deducting the dividend tax, Lu An had a net cash property of 6.5 billion in his personal name, and then spent about 1 billion in his hometown.

 Lu An smiled and said: "We are going to pay dividends again this year. The profits in 2015 are higher than those in 2014, so there must be more dividend funds."

 Meng Qiuyan looked at him and said: "Even if this year's dividends are added to the existing 5.5 billion in cash, the total is not enough to reach 20 billion."

Lu An said: "I am not a sole proprietor of Star Dynamics. The plan is to introduce a joint venture with national team companies. I will hold 55% of the company's equity structure, and several national team companies will account for 45%." 0 billion is jointly funded by the national team companies that have shares in it. "

Meng Qiuyan was stunned, and immediately nodded to himself: "If it invests 11 billion, that would be enough."

Regarding the talent issue of Star Power Company, Lu An plans to go to his alma mater, Western Polytechnic University, to look for talents, and ask some of his teachers to introduce some students.

Northwestern Polytechnical University has the characteristics of aviation, aerospace and navigation, and is a leader in the field of aviation, aerospace and navigation.

  It has created the country's first small UAV and the first 50kg underwater unmanned intelligent vehicle in the aviation field.

 Hong Kong University is deeply involved in the development of the "Shenzhou" series of spacecraft in the aerospace field, and is one of the universities that made important contributions to the first manned space flight in China.

 Lu An thought for a moment, then looked at Meng Qiuyan again and said: "I will go to my alma mater at the end of the month, and the talent team of Star Dynamics will build a team from my alma mater. You prepare 1.5 billion in funds from my personal name, and donate 1.5 billion to the alma mater."

  This is also a two-pronged preparation. If the national team does not provide talent support, then you can only slowly build up the talent team yourself.

There is no conflict between the two. The talent support provided by the national team will not prevent Star Power Aerospace from recruiting talents from NPU.
Last year's budget did not exceed 10 billion, and Lu An's donation of 1.5 billion was a huge amount for NPU.

 …

 Monday, February 15th.

  The Spring Festival holiday is over, and the employees of Metaverse Intelligent Control and Metaverse Manufacturing have also returned to work and entered the work of the new year.

  In the following days, in addition to the daily operation and management of Yuanjie Intelligent Control, Meng Qiuyan was also working on drafting the top-level design draft of Star Dynamics Aerospace Company.

Lu An wrote a material and submitted it to the top. This material was related to Star Power and suggested that several major national companies involved in the aerospace field take shares in Star Power.

 As long as you become a shareholder of Star Power, the relevant resources of several national team companies can be connected with Star Power, which will not only save several years of valuable time, but also avoid repeated waste of resources.

 Lu An sent this material to Li Fengting and entrusted him to forward it to him. Now he can only reach Tianting indirectly through Li Fengting's network.

  …

  Three days later.

 After receiving the materials, Li Fengting took the materials to his old boss the next day.

In the morning, Li Fengting’s old boss read the material and said with great interest: “This young man is very energetic and wants to work in the aerospace field. Looking at the material he wrote, he is very ambitious.”

Li Fengting smiled and said: "Comrade Lu An is only 24 years old, which is the age when creativity and vitality are at their peak."

The old boss asked: "What do you think?"

Li Fengting glanced at the material in his hand and answered the question: "Throughout history, the most talented people are generally the most creative age group in their twenties and thirties."

Einstein proposed the special theory of relativity at the age of 26, subverting the basic theory of physics; Newton pioneered calculus at the age of 24 and proposed the prototype of the law of universal gravitation; Gauss pioneered arithmetic research at the age of 21; Gödel proposed the incompleteness theorem at the age of 25; Turing proposed a computer theoretical model at the age of 24; Jobs founded Apple at the age of 21 to promote the personal computer revolution.

  Throughout all fields, innovation is often concentrated in the youth stage.

Li Fengting said: "With the talent and innovative ability demonstrated by Comrade Lu An, there is a high probability that he can surpass SpaceX in the commercial aerospace field and achieve great achievements in five to ten years. This will definitely usher in a new situation for our country's aerospace industry, especially commercial aerospace."

The old boss couldn't help but nodded slowly. Lu An was indeed very creative, and his superiors also attached great importance to it. Especially after the "tens of billions of dollars" bounty order came out, the level of attention went up to several levels.

 After careful consideration, Li Fengting, the old boss, agreed to submit Lu An's materials.

 Just last year, the "National Civilian Space Infrastructure Medium and Long-term Development Plan (2015-2025)" document was officially released. Lu An established Star Power Aerospace at this time, which happened to be in response to the country's call.

 …

 Friday, February 19th.

 Yuanjie Intelligent Control Headquarters, Chairman’s Office.

 Lu An is processing several documents. Some things for the company after the new year have been arranged. He is also preparing to go to his alma mater, Western Polytechnic University.

 At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

  "Come in!"

   Lu An responded and looked up, only to see Meng Qiuyan walking slowly towards him. She looked at each other and said, "The company's 2015 annual report has come out."

  Immediately handed the annual report material to Lu An, who opened it and read it.

Meng Qiuyan said: "In 2015, the company's annual revenue was 163.616 billion, a year-on-year increase of +117.72%; the annual net profit was 70.125 billion, a year-on-year increase of +42.79%."

Metaverse Intelligent Control's revenue more than doubled in 2015, and its core contribution was the new performance growth point of Xiaoyuan Robot.

 Personally, the bionic prosthetics business accounted for the majority of revenue, reaching 91.058 billion. The main revenue contribution came from overseas markets. Last year, overseas market shipments reached 293,800 units, generating revenue of more than 73.4 billion, and domestic revenue was about 17.6 billion.

  Throughout 2015, the total sales of bionic prosthetic arms and legs totaled 1.1752 million units, an increase of 143,200 units compared with 1.032 million units in the previous year. The bionic prosthetic business earned more than 15 billion yuan more than last year, mainly because the export side increased some shipments in 2015.

 Originally, Luan expected to sell more than 1.5 million bionic prosthetics in 2015. However, due to national subsidies, consumers were waiting to buy them this year, so last year's sales did not meet expectations.

 But it’s not that the sales are not good, it’s just that the sales volume has shifted to this year.

· After the national subsidy, the sales of bionic prosthetics have doubled this year, with more than 620,000 units sold during the three days of the New Year holiday.

·Yuanjie Intelligent Control’s second largest revenue business is Xiaoyuan Robot. It was launched in October last year. As of December 31, it had sold a total of 63,900 units and generated revenue of 50.443 billion yuan.

 The third largest revenue is orders from the military. Last year, the first order for solid-state lattice batteries was from the military, with an amount of 20 billion, which was paid directly first.

 In addition, 1,500 armed humanoid robots were delivered last year, with revenue of more than 2.1 billion.

  These major businesses constituted Metaverse Intelligent Control’s revenue of 163.6 billion in 2015.

 After a while, Meng Qiuyan added: "The company's net assets at the end of the period were 88.131 billion, and its cash flow reserve increased significantly, reaching 39.2 billion."

 The company's net profit margin last year was 42.85%. Compared with 65.35% in the previous year (2014), this year's net profit margin dropped by 22.5 percentage points.

 This is because the expenditures in 2015 have become larger, mainly due to the settlement of project funds such as the new headquarters and super projects. Several large expenditure items are reflected in the 2015 fiscal year.

 Finally, Lu An read the materials, put them aside and said: "We will handle the matter of dividend distribution at the end of the month."

 Hash the company's 20% net profit for the current period to dividends for the next year. Last year's net profit of 70.125 billion in 2015, this time the scale of dividends reached 14.025 billion,

Lu An currently holds 83% of Metaverse Intelligent Holdings’ equity. This dividend will earn 11.64 billion. After deducting the 20% dividend tax of 2.328 billion, the remaining 9.3126 billion belongs to Lu An’s personal disposable net assets.

 Including the 5.5 billion in his personal name, Lu An has 14.9 billion in disposable cash flow.

When Lu An registered Star Dynamics Aerospace Company, he did not let Yuanjie Intelligent Holdings participate in the company, so he had to use his personal property to invest. It is expected to invest 11 billion, and then donate 1.5 billion to NPU.

 After deducting these two expenditures, there is still 2.4 billion left.

 At this time, Meng Qiuyan said: "In the second half of the year, more than 1,200 employees will have been employed for three years. According to the company's new regulations, they are all eligible for share allotment."

 Metaverse Intelligent Control currently has more than 9,750 formal employees, and it is continuing to expand.

 It is worth mentioning that only regular employees of Metaverse Intelligent Holdings who have been employed for three years or more are eligible for virtual equity allotment. Subsidiary Metaverse Intelligent Manufacturing is not included in this list. The company has its own set of salary and benefits systems.

· The compensation of subsidiary Metaverse Manufacturing is provided in the form of high wages and high bonuses. Because the parent company is 100% wholly-owned by Metaverse Manufacturing, equity incentives are not applicable.

The lack of equity does not mean that Metaverse Manufacturing’s employees’ remuneration is low. The remuneration of ordinary workers on the assembly line can achieve a monthly income of over 10,000 yuan.

 The basic salary is also linked to the length of service. For every year of service, the basic salary will increase by 12%, up to a maximum of 20 consecutive years.

 There is no doubt that this basic salary increase must have outperformed the current inflation rate.
