Lin Dong looked at his elder brother Lin Hu and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Lin Hu was embarrassed to say that, and Lin's mother next to him sighed: "You also know that companies engaged in electronic technology products have always spent a lot of money on research and development. Look at the mobile phone companies in China, and the independent research and development of processor chips alone is very expensive. All kinds of costs are billions, although your brother's company does not plan to enter the mobile phone industry, home appliances also require large-scale research and development expenses, although there are government subsidies and policies, it is just a drop in the bucket."
Lin Dong understood. He looked at Lin Hu and said, "This question seems to have been mentioned to you by Liu Ju the other day, right? He seems to have told you that developing these hardware and software costs a lot of money, but you didn't listen. "
Lin Hu smiled wryly: "I didn't know that it would consume so much energy. Originally, I thought that I would not go through independent research and development, such as mobile phones, or other home appliances, and rely on other companies and parts suppliers to assemble the volume. Who knew that the profit would be so low. We Those who joined later had no way to get low prices from parts suppliers, which indirectly raised the cost. Secondly, in terms of sales, the prices were not as fierce as those big companies' promotions. This led to me being the first to engage in Household appliances can’t go away if the goods are squeezed. I don’t think this is the solution. The next step is to return to that issue and plan to do independent research and development, but who knows that the machine tools and equipment alone cost tens of millions. Count the later research and development expenses. I have no money at all.”
Lin Dong was stunned.
"I see, brother, what you mean is that you want to borrow money from me, right?"
Lin Hu gave a wry smile in embarrassment.
Mother Lin said: "Why are you two brothers still seeing each other like this? It's the first time your brother has invested. It's a good thing to have this determination and it's worth encouraging. Besides, who doesn't fail when investing? I have used up all the family savings, and if Mom had a way, she wouldn't have brought your brother to find you."
"Mom, but you also said that this research and development cost is a bottomless pit. How can I find so much money for my brother?" Lin Dong said tentatively.
At this time, Mother Lin said: "Your Mandala Studio's new product, I heard that the order is tens of thousands, probably more than one billion in the account?"
Lin Dong smiled bitterly: "Mom, the money belongs to the company, not mine. If I use it, it will be illegal."
Lin Hu coughed: "Isn't this your master Mr. Xu's? You can tell him properly."
Lin Dong secretly despised this brother: Now that he knows my master, Mr. Xu, why did he go so early
"I'm afraid it won't work, right?" At this time, Luo Yi, who was drinking coffee, calmly interjected in line with Lin Dong's singing and drinking: "Misappropriation of public funds is a trivial matter, but this matter will make Mr. Xu distrust President Lin. But it's big."
Mother Lin's face changed slightly when she heard this. This is a matter of credibility. He didn't want his son to be misunderstood by his master and then expelled from the school.
"Then... Xiaohu, let's forget it?"
"Mom, there's nothing you can do with the bank. Do you want me to declare bankruptcy and stop research and development?" Lin Hu anxiously leaned in front of Lin's mother and urged in a low voice.
"But, it's difficult for your younger brother." Mother Lin gave Lin Hu a hard look.
"Brother, how much do you need?" Lin Dong asked Lin Hu at this moment.
Lin Hu hesitated to speak, and finally raised three fingers and said: "I'm afraid three hundred million will be safe, don't worry, when my brother's company gets up in the future, I will return the capital with interest to you, tell your master , just borrow it from him for the time being."
"Then why don't you get up?" At this time, Luo Yi snorted coldly: "To be honest, this money is just a number to Mr. Xu, but at the beginning, you opposed Xiaodong's worship of Mr. Xu as a teacher. I also told you that day that he has nothing to do with you taking Xiaodong as his apprentice. This issue shows that he doesn’t like you very much. There is no way to explain it to the master."
"This..." Mother Lin hesitated.
Seeing Luo Yi's cooperation and pretending to be embarrassed, Lin Dong said, "Mom, if I really need the money, it's not like I can't afford it. At most, I can go back and help Master run errands. It won’t be easy to come back later.”
Lin Hu tugged at Lin's mother: "Mom, only Xiaodong can help me, otherwise where can I borrow 300 million?"
Lin's mother looked at Lin Dong in embarrassment: "Xiaodong, how many years will it take to go back and help your master?"
Lin Dong curled his lips: "According to the 100 million he spends on me every year, this time my brother wants me to spend 300 million, so this time it will take at least three years to help Master."
Lin Dong and Lin Mu exclaimed in surprise: "Your master gives you 100 million every year?"
Luo Yi smiled slightly: "It's just a lot."
Mother Lin: "Then Xiaodong, would you like to help your brother with this matter?"
Lin Dong nodded: "Can you not help? After all, it is my brother. I will borrow the three billion yuan from my own pocket and lend it to you in advance. I guess he knows it, and he will definitely let me go back to see him immediately."
"Then, Xiaodong, I thank you this time, and what happened to Bureau Liu last time. When I become rich in the future, you can use mine to spend mine." Lin Hu said.
"Mom, I have one more thing I want you and Dad to do." Lin Dong felt that if he really didn't return to China for a long time and wanted to venture again with Master, he would be very worried according to Lin Hu's investment situation. Just want to do something safe.
"Tell me." Mother Lin said.
"It's like this. You also know that our mandala products are high-end, not high-volume. Under normal circumstances, scalpers have huge profits. Otherwise, you and Dad register an online store, and every quarter the product Before the pre-sale, you take the lead and earn some profits, and here will also give you a little price from the purchase channel, but your price must not be lower than the market price."
Mother Lin was overjoyed: "Is this okay? Will your master not blame you?"
Lin Dong: "This time I gave my brother money, he must have blamed me, it's not bad, I'll be fined at most when I go back, after all, my brother's company is not stable, you and dad can get the distribution rights , just operate in the online store.”
After Lin Dong finished speaking, he looked at Luo Yi and asked, "Brother Yi, do you think the headquarters won't blame me for what I did?"
Luo Yi raised his eyebrows and accompanied him to finish the trick: "What do you think?"
"Okay, Mom, that's the deal. I still have something to receive other guests here, so I won't send you off for now."
Lin Hu and Lin Mu nodded hurriedly: "Then you are busy, don't send it away, and do something for your master."
Lin Dong nodded, and after asking the secretary to send the two away, he smiled and said to Luo Yi: "Brother Yi, call my master quickly."
"Hit what?" Luo Yi froze for a moment.
Lin Dong smacked his lips: "Tell him, I broke up with my family because of my brother, and I am very unhappy in Shangcheng now."
Luo Yi stared: "Damn it, so you want to use me!"
Lin Dong hehe: "Please, Brother Yi."
Only then did Luo Yi come to his senses: "I just realized that you are just as scheming as your master."
"The one who is close to the ink is red." Lin Dong said with a shameless smile.
