Black technology: a super empire spanning two worlds

Chapter 302 [Subsidy Suggestion Adopted]

Since its backdoor listing, Lingjing Technology has raised approximately 8 million yuan in the capital market. With four cash dividends, the cumulative dividend payout has exceeded 2000 billion yuan, making it arguably the most conscientious listed company in the A-share market.

Despite the dividends of around 2000 billion yuan, many other state-owned enterprises in the A-share market have paid more than that.

But those companies have been listed for more than ten years or even longer, while Lingjing Technology has only been listed for a few years. Most importantly, the company's growth momentum is too strong, and the dividends every year have doubled. It's simply a steady and happy life.

In addition to the guaranteed dividends from investing in Lingjing Technology, the company's stock price also offers substantial returns, having recently reached a new all-time high.

Lingjing Technology's closing price on the last trading day of 2023 was locked at 205.29 yuan, and it closed at 305.11 yuan today. In just over half a year and a month, the cumulative increase this year has reached +48.62%, even though the A-share market is currently in a bear market.

Other stocks have all plummeted, whether they are large-cap or small-cap, blue-chip or heavyweight stocks, many have seen their prices halved. This shows the value of Lingjing Technology as the king of A-shares, with its investment return rate being unparalleled.

The company's initial public offering price was 8.05 yuan, and its latest share price is 305.11 yuan. After adjusting for stock splits and dividends, the price per share has reached 30742.60 yuan. Since its listing, the cumulative increase has reached 381795.63%, which is more than 3817 times.

Even if you held shares worth 1 yuan back then, six years later they would be worth more than 3800 million yuan today, a sure path to financial freedom.

Lingjing Technology's largest historical price increase was even more dramatic. In order to clear out several capital institutions such as Penghui Capital, Lingjing Technology's stock price once plummeted to a historical low of 0.42 yuan on August 31, 2021, with its market value at that time only slightly more than 360 million yuan.

If we calculate from the previous value starting at 0.42 yuan, the cumulative increase over the period up to today has reached 7319566.80%. If someone who bought at the bottom at 0.42 yuan had held the stock until now, their return on investment would be an incredible 70,000 times. If they had bought 10,000 yuan and held it until now, 10,000 yuan would have become 730 million yuan in three years.

There were retail investors who bought at the bottom at 0.42 yuan, but without exception, none of them have held on until now. They all sold off and jumped ship before the end of 2021, choosing to secure their profits.

Even those who sold their shares too early made a fortune, including many who achieved financial freedom.

The only person who bought at the bottom and held onto her shares until today is Yun Shu, who is now a super-rich woman with assets in the hundreds of billions. If it weren't for Xiao Yu giving her special treatment, Yun Shu would not have bought at the bottom and might have sold her original shares at rock-bottom prices.

At that time, Yun Shu thought the company was beyond saving and wanted to cash out and leave. If she hadn't talked to Xiao Yu beforehand, she might have actually sold it.

Besides, only Ruilian Group had such low costs. However, as an institutional investor, it was involved in the game with Penghui Capital at the time, which was the reason why Penghui Capital directly admitted its losses and withdrew.

It was when Ruilian Group announced its takeover bid for Lingjing Technology that the company's stock price reversed overnight, starting from 0.42 yuan and embarking on a miraculous journey of more than 20 consecutive limit-up days.

Looking back now, Ruilian Group's support for Xiao Yu was an incredibly wise choice, bringing him unbelievable and substantial returns, making them arguably one of the biggest winners.

At its peak, Ruilian Group held 14.5% of Lingjing Technology's shares. Two years ago, it donated 2% to the HP Foundation, and has held the remaining 12.5% ​​without selling a single share. It can be said that it has made a fortune.

This 12.5% ​​stake now corresponds to a market value of 3.31 trillion, an astronomical figure.

Ruilian Group is now holding onto its 12.5% ​​stake firmly, making it its most core and high-quality asset. Not only are the equity returns explosive, but the annual dividends it receives are also a great source of income.

Last year, Ruilian Group received 119 billion yuan in dividends, all of which was real cash.

The dividend results for the first half of this year have been released. Ruilian Group will receive approximately 101 billion yuan, which is roughly equivalent to the total dividends for the entire previous year.

Moreover, this is only the dividend for the first half of the year. Given Lingjing Technology's current growth momentum, it is certain that it will receive at least 100 billion yuan in dividends in the second half of the year, and Ruilian is guaranteed to receive at least 200 billion yuan in dividends this year.

This is truly a case of making money while lying down; Ruilian couldn't be happier right now.

……

At the same time, Xiao Yu immediately wrote a report and submitted it to the government, which proposed subsidies for the upcoming product, the lifelike doll, to reduce its price and promote its widespread adoption.

Asking the government for subsidies directly, especially for this kind of product, would definitely be rejected, and might even result in criticism. Xiao Yu certainly wouldn't be so blunt in his internal report. This time, he wasn't focusing on the product itself, but rather on the foreseeable future crisis of overpopulation, discussing the issue from the perspective of curbing excessive population growth.

Furthermore, Xiao Yu played a trump card as insurance: in his internal report, he stated that Lingjing Technology's life sciences department had made significant progress in monoclonal cloning technology.

In reality, the so-called huge progress wasn't that significant, but Xiao Yu wasn't worried at all because he had already mastered the technology, which was stored in the technical database of the secret underground base.

Monocloning technology is 100% feasible; it just needs to be launched at the right time. Xiao Yu naturally dared to make such a bold claim.

This has also attracted great attention from the higher authorities. With the rapid progress of monoclonal cloning technology, the future overpopulation crisis mentioned by Xiao Yu has become an unavoidable major problem that needs to be taken seriously now.

One of Xiao Yu's proposed solutions was adopted by the higher-ups, and a document was issued just one week later.

……

August 13, Lingjing Technology Headquarters.

Yun Shu entered Xiao Yu's office with an important document, and said as she closed the door, "Good news, we've received a reply to your internal report."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu exclaimed in surprise, "So fast?"

This shows how much importance the higher-ups attach to Xiao Yu's suggestions and voices; the efficiency is such that they are processed immediately.

Yun Shu handed him the document: "Your suggestion has been adopted, and the subsidy is not 20%, but 25%."

Xiao Yu looked surprised again. This was a bit beyond his expectations. In fact, the previous subsidy of 15% for electronic products was perfectly acceptable, but he did not expect that the government would increase the subsidy by 5%.

Yun Shu immediately took the document and opened it to browse. She added, "However, the method of subsidy has been adjusted. According to the instructions in the document, the government will not directly subsidize the product, but will instead subsidize Lingjing Technology's graphene products. The government also claims that it will increase the production capacity of graphene products and reduce prices to meet the strong demand from various industries in the market."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu couldn't help but smile. It was obvious that the government was reluctant to give this product such a large subsidy, as it wouldn't sound good if word got out, so they went through this roundabout way.

That's secondary. The national level has more to consider. Subsidizing this product would be manipulated by those with ulterior motives, including foreign forces.

On the one hand, you're introducing various positive policies to encourage childbirth, but on the other hand, you're providing such substantial subsidies for this kind of product. This is clearly not conducive to boosting the birth rate. Isn't this further damaging the marriage rate and the birth rate? There must be some ulterior motive behind this.

Needless to say, all sorts of conspiracy theories will inevitably emerge. As the saying goes, things are accomplished in secret, and going in circles can indeed save a lot of trouble.

After reading the materials, Xiao Yu put them down and pondered to himself, "The subsidy has been increased to 25%, so the terminal price can be further reduced to around 1.12. Hmm, this price is not bad."

Xiao Yu, who was talking to himself, nodded to himself. Nowadays, a flagship high-end smartphone, such as the iPhone or Huawei's latest flagship phone, costs more than 10,000 yuan.

This lifelike doll is priced at over 1 yuan, similar to the price of a high-end flagship smartphone. Given its limited technology and tactile quality, most consumers would exclaim, "The boss is foolish!" Selling a high-tech product worth 10 yuan at the price of a smartphone—the boss is truly out of his mind…

But that's exactly the effect Xiao Yu wanted; otherwise, how could he have made a product that was originally a niche market reach a mass market level?

“Now that the documents have been approved and exceeded expectations, the product launch can proceed.” Xiao Yu glanced at his beautiful assistant and added, “Tell your cousin-in-law to hold the launch.”
