Han Songlin was indeed momentarily stunned, and subconsciously joined in the applause. Then he came to his senses, put his hands together, and signalled for the applause to stop.
'Last year, we had some good results! But while we're celebrating our achievements, we mustn't become complacent. Please remember what our original aspiration was! We want to become the biggest vehicle manufacturer in the whole of China. Our goal is to have everyone in the whole of China driving our cars, and our cars will be seen on all the roads in the whole of China.'
Han Songlin looked around at the group, and everyone looked like they had been taught a lesson.
Han Songlin didn't care what they were thinking, as long as they followed his goals.
'Zheng, tell us about the financial situation.'
Zheng Lin gave a small smile and opened the folder in front of her.
Everyone else looked at Zheng Lin with sparkling eyes. Last year's output value exceeded 100 million yuan, which was even more brilliant than the factory's most glorious time.
So, they must have made a lot of money!
If they made money, according to Han Songlin's generosity, they must be able to receive a lot of rewards, right?
Zheng Lin's crisp voice sounded like a cold wind: 'Last year, Fuxing Industry suffered a total loss of 75.91 million yuan!'
A loss!
Last year, it actually lost money, and it lost so much?
More than 70 million yuan.
Today's meeting was attended by all the team leaders, so the conference room was full, and there were still quite a few people without a seat, so they had to stand.
At the moment, many of them who came to the meeting were dumbfounded, and some of them even felt unsteady on their feet.
'How can we lose money?'
'Yes, how can we lose money?'
'We sold so many cars!'
Han Songlin looked helplessly at Zheng Lin. This girl, she definitely did it on purpose!
When there is an accounting report, she first talks about how much money was lost; of course, she first talks about how much was achieved!
Han Songlin pounded the conference table heavily. This table is made of solid wood, and it hurts your hand to make a sound!
Why did we buy this?
It seems that solid wood furniture is not expensive these days, but the price of plywood is slightly higher.
At this time, many people in both urban and rural areas built their own furniture, and naturally, all the wood was solid wood!
The rich people bought the furniture!
'Quiet!' Han Songlin endured the pain in his hand and said lightly.
The meeting room gradually quieted down.
'Don't make a fuss. It's normal for a company to incur losses. It's not like we're going to collapse. Continue, President Zheng!'
People nowadays don't really understand things like capital operations.
They just think that if a company is going to lose money and owe money, it's definitely not going to work and will collapse immediately.
For example, Fuxing Industry lost more than 70 million yuan a year, which is enough to scare people into unconsciousness.
Zheng Lin also didn't expect everyone to react so strongly to the company's losses.
She glanced at Han Songlin carefully, and seeing that he didn't seem angry, Zheng Lin let out a small sigh of relief.
'Right now, the company still has 46 million yuan in the books! Even if we continue to lose money this year, we can still lose it for another year!'
Han Songlin patted his forehead. She was certain that Zheng Lin had definitely done it on purpose!
At this time, the other people didn't seem as agitated as before.
It was just that their expressions were a little off.
If the company continues to lose money this year, the boss will probably not be able to hold on!
Does that mean that everyone will lose their jobs next year?
That would be terrible!
'Zheng Lin, you...'
Zheng Lin shyly stuck out her tongue at Han Songlin. She just wanted to tell everyone that it was okay to lose a little money, we still had money.
'Let me say a few words! Don't let the company's losses make you nervous. First, we need to figure out why we're losing money. We're not losing money due to operational issues. Our operations and management are fine. We're making money building cars.'
Han Songlin: 'Tell me, how much money have we made from tractors and farm vehicles alone?'
Zheng Lin doesn't even need to look up the information, and replies directly: '16.31 million.'
'Did you hear that? We made a total of 16 million yuan from building cars! So, we made 16 million yuan, but now we're still in the red by 75.91 million yuan. 92.22 million yuan has been spent in the meantime. How was this money spent? General Manager Zheng, please report.'
Zheng Lin: 'Oh!'
'Last year, 18.76 million yuan was invested in research and development, mainly for the development of new vehicles and the purchase of research equipment.'
Han Songlin didn't really care that so much money had been spent on research and development, mainly because the company had previously had such a weak foundation.
'The construction of new factory buildings and the purchase of production equipment cost 34 million yuan.'
'The construction of Fuxing Park cost 3.98 million yuan.'
'The construction of staff quarters cost 16 million yuan.'
'Wages and salaries cost 10.7 million yuan.'
'Bonuses totalled 7.93 million yuan.'
'Other expenses totalled 850,000 yuan.'
After listening to Zheng Lin's report, the others still felt a little dizzy.
How come research and development costs are so high?
Everyone's gaze couldn't help but turn to Yang Zixing. Yang Zixing was also a little surprised to say that the company had actually spent so much money last year.
Really, when it came to spending money, he didn't feel anything.
If he wanted something, he would just file a report with the company, and then the company would buy it for him.
He just needed to focus on research and development.
But after spending so much money, Yang Zixing was a little panicked too, and his gaze couldn't help but turn to Han Songlin.
Han Songlin noticed Yang Zixing's gaze and just smiled at him to let him not worry.
'Now, is everyone still panicking? We lost 70 million last year, so what! It's fine, this year we'll just make it all back with interest.'
'Does everyone have confidence?'
'Yes!'
There is still some confidence.
The current production of tractors is being maintained at 40 units per day at Fuxing Industry.
This is a direct reduction of half compared to the peak tractor production capacity.
Where has this production capacity been transferred?
To agricultural vehicles.
Previously, Fuxing Industrial's agricultural vehicle production capacity was not high, but it has now been increased to 20 vehicles per day.
Moreover, this production capacity will continue to be increased. In the future, the expansion of Fuxing Industrial's vehicle production capacity will mainly lie in agricultural vehicles.
Fuxing Industrial has already begun developing a truck with a load capacity of 20 tons.
Basically, the load should be more than 15 tons.
As for the engine, it will use the six-cylinder engine produced by Fuxing Power.
The project for this car has already been approved.
Han Songlin: 'This year, we will continue to increase investment in research and development. Only by constantly developing new products can we gain a foothold in the market. We must use technology to drive our future development.'
'We can only embrace technology to have a future. I hope everyone here will keep this firmly in mind.'
After a few words, there was nothing more to say, so Han Songlin announced the meeting adjourned.
'Boss, let's set a goal for this year!'
Han Songlin didn't see who said it, but it was fine, it made sense: 'Well, this year, let's set a goal. Um, how about this: this year, let's strive to achieve a production value of over one billion.'
