C2983 The Wind Was Blowing Everywhere
Musk smiled and a bitter smile appeared on his face. "Lyner, how many people do we have now?"
"563!" Without hesitation, Lyner reached the number.
As the CEO's secretary, he had long memorized these basic data.
"How much is the monthly salary?" Musk asked again.
"178 million dollars!" Lyner replied.
"178 million USD per month, not including all sorts of research investments."
"If we add that, the monthly expenditure will exceed 500 million!"
"In other words, the reason why Space-S is able to continue supporting us is largely because we have a world-class research team."
"But what if the research team is unable to work?"
"How long do you think we can last?"
Space-S was a world's top tech company, Unicorn.
However, for money, the landlord did not have any surplus!
Leonard: [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] # $%..."
Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that Leonard was telling the truth.
As the CEO's secretary, he knew Space-S's financial situation better than Musk.
Although the company was big, there weren't many liquid funds in the account.
Most of the money was invested in scientific research, and a portion was used as a deposit. There was no way to use it.
Just a while ago, JP Morgan Chase gave Space an valuation.
It was said to be worth 30 billion US dollars!
But it was only an estimate. No one was willing to pay 30 billion US dollars to receive Space!
The value could not be changed. This was a publicly acknowledged fact in the business world.
Not to mention, Space-S was now a "mess"!
"So, Mr. President, is this the reason why you want me to lower my salary?" Leonard gritted his teeth and said.
"Is this not enough?" Musk shrugged and said with a smile.
Leonard: "! # $%..."
Was that enough? Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed quite sufficient.
But the problem is that he is unwilling!
How could he be willing to be demoted!
"Mr. President, even if we take ten thousand steps back, even if the salary is reduced, the problem is that for the entire company, this is just a drop in the bucket. It doesn't have much use, right?"
"No, no, no! This drop in salary is not only for you, but also for the entire Space!"
"Starting from me, my annual salary this year is 30 million USD. From now on, my annual salary will be reduced by half." Musk said, "As for you guys, I'm prepared to receive a 30% salary reduction."2
Thirty percent!
Lyner's heart skipped a beat, and his heart jumped to his throat.
Thirty percent of the salary reduction, this was not a small amount!
But what could he do?
There was a good saying, a person had to lower his head under the roof!
No matter from which angle, he was now a member of Space-S. He still held Space-S's job, so he really didn't know what to say.
"Okay, I'll inform everyone right away!" Gritting his teeth, Leonard said.
Musk definitely wouldn't be the bad guy.
And this blame could only be placed on him.
The news of the salary reduction instantly spread to Space-S, and for a moment, the entire Space-S was filled with complaints.
No one would be able to accept a salary reduction!
"F * ck, what does the CEO want? A drop in salary for no reason?"
"Space is not going to collapse, is it?"
"Sigh, looks like we have to find another way out."
