Cutting-edge technology: Starting with individual stealth equipment

Zhang Wei said, "You're the boss, so you can make the decision."

Lin Chuan glanced at him and said indifferently, "Don't say that. Just tell me if you're willing or not."

Hearing this, Zhang Wei chuckled and said, "Of course I'd be happy to! Who wouldn't be happy to get a little extra money? Which one of you wouldn't be happy?"

Everyone laughed and shook their heads, expressing their delight.

Zhang Wei then turned to Lin Chuan: "How much capital do you plan to allocate for dividends?"

Lin Chuan pondered: "This income is expected to generate a net profit of over 7.2 million yuan. Last year, Shenhong provided the company with 1 million yuan in debt financing. We will use about 1 million yuan to repay the principal and interest and clear the debt."

After a pause, Lin Chuan continued, "Let's split 5 million, and the remaining 1 million or so will be used as cash flow reserves for DeepBlue Technology."

Everyone was taken aback and immediately became restless.

Zhang Wei looked at Lin Chuan in astonishment: "Really?! They're giving away 5 million in dividends? Holy crap...!"

Each of the founding team members present held 1% of DeepBlue Technology's shares, and with a dividend of 500 million yuan, they would each receive 5 million yuan.

After paying a 20% dividend tax, the amount was 400 million.

With 2011 housing prices, even buying a house outright in the bustling city center of Xin'an would have been more than enough.

Zhang Wei, Huang Chongwei, Guo Tao, and other founding team members were overjoyed. They never dreamed that DeepBlue Technology would generate millions in revenue in less than a year.

Everyone was relieved that they had made the decisive decision to leave Skyworth and continue to follow Lin Chuan in their careers.

According to DeepBlue Technology's current shareholding structure, Lin Chuan is the largest shareholder, holding 52% of the shares.

Of the 5 million yuan dividend this time, Lin Chuan will receive 2.6 million yuan, and after deducting dividend tax, the amount will be 2.08 million yuan.

The second largest shareholder is Su Qingyue, who holds 18% of the shares and will receive 9000 million yuan, or 7200 million yuan after tax.

In other words, she not only recovered all her investment costs in DeepBlue Technology, but also made an extra net profit of 6200 million yuan, without even calculating the value of the more valuable 18% equity stake.

Then there is a 15% option pool reserved, which is 7500 million yuan. However, before the shares in the option pool are allocated, they do not enjoy the right to dividends, so they do not directly participate in dividends.

When a company distributes dividends, only shareholders who have exercised their options and are registered are entitled to receive dividends.

The 7500 million yuan corresponding to the 15% equity reserved in the option pool will be kept in the company's account and may be included in the company's retained earnings or used for business development, research and development, and operating expenses, depending on the circumstances.

Alternatively, the company's profit distribution plan can be adjusted or its equity can be retroactively applied based on the actual shareholding ratio after employees exercise their options in the future.

Therefore, DeepBlue Technology currently has nearly 2 million yuan in available funds, which is more than enough.

Next year, at least another 10 billion yuan will come in, so we will basically no longer have to worry about the problem of tight funds.

At this moment, Zhang Wei laughed enthusiastically, "If Qiu Zhanfeng finds out about this profit-sharing deal, I bet he'll be so angry he'll suffer internal injuries, hahaha!"

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and couldn't help but imagine Qiu Zhanfeng's reaction after hearing the news.

Shen Yuxin, Song Yi, Zhao Funing, and others were also present in the conference room.

They barely spoke, and it would be impossible for them not to envy Zhang Wei and his 15 founding team members at this moment.

DeepBlue Technology currently has about 50 employees. Song Yi, Zhao Funing, and others joined the company later and have not yet received stock options, so this dividend has nothing to do with them.

After a moment, Lin Chuan looked at Zhao Funing and the others and said, "In addition, I have decided to take out 30 million yuan of net profit as a bonus package and distribute it to all employees. The specific distribution will be based on performance contribution, and the minimum bonus will be 3000 yuan."

The company currently has only about 50 employees. On average, each person can receive a bonus of 500,000 to 600,000 yuan.

Hearing this, Song Yi was pleasantly surprised and couldn't help but ask, "Even though I'm not involved in the Plasticity-Eating Microbiota project, can I still share in the bonus?"

Lin Chuan smiled and said, "Although you are not in the Plasticizing Microbes project team, as long as you are a member of DeepBlue Technology, you will receive a share. Of course, the value you create for DeepBlue in the future will also be shared by others."

Upon hearing this, Song Yi finally understood why Zhang Wei, Cheng Siyuan, and the others had all left without hesitation on the same day Lin Chuan left Skyworth.

They're truly sharing the benefits; the money they're giving out is really generous.

Such a boss is not unique, but there are very few like him across the country. He is definitely an exceptionally good boss.

……

Three days after the agreement was signed, Li Bingqian, representing Henghui Group, came to DeepBlue Technology to discuss and confirm the specific details of the pilot-scale production of "plastic-eating bacteria".

According to the agreement, Henghui Group will bear the costs of the pilot-scale testing site and expenses.

The specific implementing unit was Henghui Xin'an Business Department, because DeepBlue Technology was located in this city.

Li Bingqian is also very happy now. The headquarters has entrusted this matter to him, which is a precursor to his promotion and salary increase.

He's treating this as a top priority, since it's a project that headquarters values ​​highly.

In the DeepBlue Technology conference room, Li Bingqian took out a project schedule, marked a location on a map with a pen, and said to Lin Chuan:

"President Lin, the pilot production line will be located at the Hezhu Treatment Center in the northern suburbs of Xin'an City."

"This processing center can process 1200 tons of municipal solid waste per day, of which plastic accounts for about 15%, or about 180 tons. The renovation cycle for our existing plant, water and electricity supply, and sewage pipe network can be reduced to 40 days."

Across the conference table sat Lin Chuan, with Zhao Funing, Cui Zhaohan, and other technical staff from the "Plastic-Eating Microbes" project team beside him.

Lin Chuan nodded and then said, "According to the agreement reached by both parties, the bacterial culture and nutrient solution will be provided by DeepBlue Technology. The pilot production line needs supporting storage tanks and filling systems. Do you have these?"

Li Bingqian shook his head: "No, we need you to provide the parameters, such as the material of the storage tank, temperature requirements, and filling accuracy. You can specify these, and we will purchase and manufacture it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan nodded again: "Then let's do it."

Both parties further discussed and agreed on some details regarding the pilot-scale testing phase, and then began to advance the pilot-scale testing.

Forty days is neither a long nor a short time.

The construction team at Henghui is working in three shifts, day and night, to speed up the progress as much as possible.

The agreement signed by both parties indicates that Henghui is more eager than DeepBlue Technology to commercialize the "Plastic Eating Bacteria" project as soon as possible.

The innermost standalone building of the Hezhu Waste Treatment Center was emptied, the floor was re-coated with epoxy self-leveling compound, the walls were covered with stainless steel plates, and the ceiling was fitted with high-efficiency filters.

A brand-new fermentation tank system was transported from elsewhere, with four large tanks standing side by side in the middle of the factory.
