"Strive to keep the profit down to about 500 billion US dollars, and invest the money earned." Li Linfei said, he doesn't care about profit, but about revenue.
The higher the income, the higher the right to allocate global resources and the higher the right to speak. Only listed companies will focus on profits. After all, they must return benefits to shareholders.
Future Technology Group is not a listed company, so Li Linfei doesn't care about the profit at all. As long as the income is rising steadily, there will be a lot of money that can be used to invest in expanding operations and transforming them into high-quality assets.
As long as the company's cash reserves are always maintained at the line of 1000 billion to 5000 billion US dollars, any emergency or even an economic crisis can survive the cold winter without selling high-quality assets.
After all, when a crisis occurs, cash is king. To maintain a cash reserve of this size, the risks of future technology groups will be within a controllable range.
……
At the other end of the world at this time, another high-tech company, PB Umbrella, is continuously investing in the moon landing plan during this period.
The pb umbrella company has already spent a sky-high price of 246 billion U.S. dollars in this short month. During this three-month period, it has carried out 6 launches and supplies to the moon, three of which were material supplies, and one transported a heavy-duty Machinery, two additional personnel additions.
Pb is so fascinated by the moon, and it does not hesitate to invest heavily in it. This kind of behavior like being taken advantage of has attracted the attention of the outside media.
There is a reason for everything, and the outside world can't help but wonder, what is pb doing on the moon?Did they discover something remarkable?
Or is there any major breakthrough?You must know that there is neither love nor hatred for no reason in the world, and no one will believe without a reason.
What's clear is that Google's projected $500 billion Moon effort still looks like a drop in the bucket.
So far, the plan has cost pb company more than 350 billion U.S. dollars, and the expected investment of 500 billion U.S. dollars is likely to be fully spent this year. Additional investment is inevitable, and it is very likely to add at least 50 or so.
The biggest reason why PB can make a big bet on the moon is that the outside world doesn't know it. After Larry Page saw the top-secret information sent back from the moon.
At that moment, he firmly believed that the next success and transformation of pb will come from the planet that often hangs high in the sky.
If someone asked Larry Page if he had the confidence to stand out from possible competition with future technologies from China, Larry Page may not be too confident.
The series of achievements made by Future Technology today can overwhelm any technology giant in the world, even PB is no exception.
But now, Larry Page's confidence is stronger than ever. If someone asks him again, he will respond without hesitation: pb fearless competition.But it is worth mentioning that the pb umbrella company is different from Future Technology, as pb is a listed company.
In the face of the company's heavy investment in the moon, it seems to the outside world that it is almost an investment at any cost, and there is no substantial return. As a listed company, it must be responsible for its shareholders.
In the eyes of the outside world, pb is like a fool who has fallen into a bottomless pit. Space exploration is indeed extremely attractive.
But the return and investment are not equal at all, and pb, as a company, challenges things that even a country needs to be extremely solemn. I really don't know whether it is fearlessness or stupidity.
There is no doubt that the plan has brought a lot of pressure to pb as a listed company. In the face of doubts from the outside world, it is impossible for pb to be as indifferent as Future Technology.
Because the price you have to bear for your silent response is the turmoil in the company's stock.Faced with the outside world's doubts about pb, Larry Page obviously wanted to say something.
He also followed the example of Mark Zuckerberg, the head of Facebook, and soon published an open letter to shareholders, "The moon landing plan is pb's top priority project.
But as a listed company, it must be responsible for all shareholders and continue to bring benefits. The most common question for many people is: PB burned countless dollars on the moon, what return can it bring?
There is no doubt that it will pay off richly for all of us, and indeed for all of humanity, during several resupply launches from Cape Nell Air Force Station during this time.
One of them, we launched a heavy crane to the moon alone, because I think pb may have found a new energy source that can replace oil. In short, it will not be too far to use the new energy source on the moon.
As for more and more accurate news, pb will announce it at an appropriate time. In addition, through the above-mentioned content, everyone who reads this article can see that before the company's spin-off and reorganization, we called, It's called pb now.
Compared with other companies of the same level, our company started as a search company before the reorganization. In the past, we still rely on advertising to maintain growth.
The commercial conversion rate of everything in the laboratory and its low, asymmetric investment and return are called waste projects, but I don't think so.
The first thousand 770 chapters and three weeks later
If it represents the present, then pb and other projects of the company are more focused on the future.
This is why Sergey Brin and I split up and reorganized into a brand new pb in 2015.
We use this reason to withdraw from traditional things, pb is not a conventional technology company, and we do not want to become such a company, we want to create a brand new company that represents the future: pb.
We also hope to change the world, or at least pb will participate in the turbulent tide of changing the world in the future.
We also hope that in the future, in our memories, the series of advanced technological products we have used should not all be marked on them. We don't want our memories to be so monotonous. We hope that there should be more different.
And this is very, very important to you and me.If someone asks me whether pb will worry about the competition it faces, I can tell you here.
pb is not a conventional company, pb is not a company with no competitiveness and no commercial transformation ability, and pb is not a company that is afraid of competition. 17 years ago, we had a premonition of some crises that may occur today, and we have continued to do so start plan.
Today, pb is looking for new energy sources that can replace oil on the moon and the commercial space exploration of the entire plan, and we are also continuously investing in ocean exploration and so on.
If you ask me how will these inputs help pb?The benefit is that pb is not afraid of anyone's competition, and pb will become a participant in changing the world, let alone fail.
Time will tell everything, let us wait and see!
This open letter has caused quite a stir in the technology circle and the media. Larry Page elaborated in the letter that two key points have attracted the attention of the outside world and have also been interpreted emphatically.
The first point is that the moon landing program has made a major breakthrough, which may change the current irreplaceable position of petroleum energy. The second point is that pb is not afraid of any competition and has demonstrated unparalleled self-confidence. Brand new pb company.
The old American media suddenly went "crazy. After the fall of Apple, someone finally carried the flag, and this character became pb without accident, especially what Larry Page said in the article: We Do not want the only logo for a series of tech products in the future.
Larry Page's words were highly praised by the American media, and he was regarded as a real warrior.
He's right, it's important to all that no one wants to face a future with only one logo.
Not long after, another tech tycoon also spoke. Elon Musk said in his tweet: pb has been committed to becoming the best air transportation company in the solar system since its inception. In the future, pb will extract new energy on the moon , we will be committed to taking on an important role in transporting it from the moon to the earth.
Elon Musk never misses an opportunity to show his face and promote, he is really extremely "crazy".
Larry Page's latest voice is also showing the world a new pb, a confident company.
In response to an open letter, pb's stock price not only ended the turmoil, but also showed an upward trend.
As it said, the laboratory project that has been criticized by people for only burning money without much transformation ability may become the last straw to save pb.
17 years of preparation and 17 years of experience will give pb great confidence. Larry Page can lead pb to become a global technology giant. His vision and layout for the future are indeed eye-catching, at least for now. The reader obediently shut his mouth.
But then again, what pb is researching on the moon is not the so-called new energy that exists in the lunar soil.
At this moment, the back of the moon half a month later.
Half a month ago, after the first batch of teams arrived on the moon and proved the real existence of this relic, pb met all the requirements of Alihand and launched a heavy machinery to the earth in the first place.
This machine weighs 29 tons and takes up almost 80% of the supply for a launch mission.
The ruins are in an unnamed area on the far side of the moon, but now it has the name Eye of the Storm.
In half a month, the first team has successfully surveyed the size of the ruins. At the same time, the ruins ruled out the possibility of a spaceship, but a permanent moon base.
700 meters away from the part of the transparent crystal material exposed on the lunar surface, this place uses the newly brought inflatable space capsule of Bigelow Aerospace to build a second outpost base, with a space of only more than 40 cubic meters.
Since it's just a transit station, the space doesn't need to be too big, but it's more of an area for hoarding supplies.
