Chengguang Institute.

The meeting room was filled with smoke.

As a veteran researcher, Zheng Zhenchuan slapped the table in front of the leader for the first time. Facing the silent leader, he shouted with a red face: "500 million! Director Wang! At least 500 million! And there is no cap on the breakthrough!"

"Lao Zheng, don't get excited. ”

Director Wang took off the cigarette butt and comforted him with a smile: "No matter how much money there is, but the capitalist's money ...... Don't you feel hot when you take it?"

Zheng Zhenchuan was stunned, and then sneered: "Capitalist? Okay, then let's have a good chat about capitalists today!"

"Capital comes into this world, every pore drips with filth and blood, and it is its instinct and nature to pursue profit. I'm not wrong, right? That's what the old horse said, right?"

"Lao Zheng, don't get excited. ”

Zheng Zhenchuan took a few deep breaths: "I'm not excited, I'm expounding the facts." So, how can we be worthy of a capitalist investing 500 million yuan? A capitalist really wants to make money, he doesn't know how to buy Nikon, Canon, he wants to invest, he doesn't know how to invest in ASML, ASML has already done 0.5 microns!"

At this time, Deputy Director Zhou said leisurely: "Then I'm very curious, so why did he invest money and what motive did he have?"

"Motive?hehe......" Zheng Zhenchuan smiled again: "Motive...... He said that we are the only ones who are engaged in lithography machines in China. If we don't do it, there will be no one in the country in the future. In the future, once foreign countries do not sell to us, then we can only buy high-priced chips from others. ”

"We still have a rope around our necks! Leaders! Don't think that you can breathe freely as soon as you take a breath! As scientists, it is our duty to break through the blockade and challenge the limits. ”

Zheng Zhenchuan poured a gulp of tea and added: "By the way, this is what the capitalist said, not me - don't forget, his father is a popular candidate for this year's school committee member." He's a genius in integrated circuits himself! Go to Silicon Valley and ask how powerful Wonder Boy really is. ”

"People who are less than 20 years old can think about it so far, and most of us who have been buried in the ground are not as good as a hairy boy?"

After Zheng Zhenchuan finished speaking, he closed his mouth tightly.

The room fell silent again.

After a long time, Director Wang sighed heavily: "Lao Zheng, even if we agree, the above may not approve it, his conditions are too harsh." If we set a precedent, wouldn't it be that capital will be able to kidnap academics casually in the future?"

Zheng Zhenchuan sighed.

In fact, he knows that these high-sounding reasons are not fundamental.

It's still ...... at all That's 500 million is too much.

His own group of people, including the light source team of Changguang Institute, add up to only two hundred people. But it can "exclusively" a budget of at least 550 million. You know, last year, the budget of the entire Chinese Academy of Sciences was less than 500 million!

In fact, last year, the country's total investment in scientific research was only 10 billion, including the total investment of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, major universities and various enterprises. (Note: The proportion of R&D [scientific research and GPD] was about 0.5%~0.6% back then, and now it has exceeded 2%)

How can this not be eye-catching?

It has been seen since ancient times. Everyone is poor in building the "atomic bomb", why do you still have money from selling tea and eggs while building the "atomic bomb"?

Zheng Zhenchuan was silent for a few seconds and then said softly: "Wang Suo, if you really don't approve it, I'll find Lao Zhao to resign directly." ”

"Nonsense!"

"It's not nonsense, it's deliberate. Zheng Zhenchuan exhaled slowly, with a relaxed expression: "I'm almost fifty soon, and I'll be old if I don't fight hard." ”

"The large population and backward status quo have given everyone in the world the illusion that the common people are poor, even ourselves. In fact, there are 3,000 nails when the ship is broken!"

Sitting on the sofa at home, Su Yuanshan looked at his uncle-in-law with a smile: "Only when you enter the market in person can you know what the market is like." ”

Zhang Keshen nodded approvingly, and laughed: "That's right, but I still feel that this year's money seems to be very easy to earn, and everyone can take out money in their pockets casually." Is it because of the spring breeze?"

Su Yuanshan said with a smile: "It's because after the spring breeze blows, the currency circulating in the market has increased this year. ”

Zhang Ke was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "It means that the country has printed money?"

Su Yuanshan nodded with a smile: "And there are still a lot of prints, so uncle, when you make a cost budget, you must take into account the inflation coefficient, otherwise you will make money on the books and lose money in reality." ”

Zhang Ke nodded heavily: "I'll write it down in the book when I go back - let's talk about it, what else do you need to pay attention to in the mall." ”

Su Yuanshan smiled.

This year, with courage and abundant cash flow, Uncle quickly took the provincial capital as the center, and then took the developed cities in China as the nodes to establish a prototype of a nationwide chain electrical appliance mall. By this month, it has surpassed Jiamei in one fell swoop.

With the hit of "The Story of Spring", VCD has also quickly become well-known, and as a brother enterprise, the production capacity of the Special Economic Zone has satisfied Zhang Ke for the first time.

So much so that in just half a month, Zhang Ke sold 200,000 VCDs and ate nearly half of the production capacity of the VCD factory.

"There's nothing to pay attention to, just don't be greedy. Su Yuanshan said with a straight face: "We are doing industry and commerce, don't play with capital." ”

Zhang Ke nodded: "I understand this, now we have abundant cash flow." And standing on the tuyere, it is really to open a store, which is equivalent to planting a cash cow, and I really can't think about it before ......"

"You have to dare to think, otherwise what's the difference between it and paramecium?" Professor Su Xinghe looked up from the document and said with a smile.

In the past six months, Su Xinghe has a few more white hairs, but his state has become more and more energetic. In the words of his son, Professor Su has rejuvenated his academic spring.

Zhang Ke smiled: "Brother, I heard that you are going to be a member of the school department this year?"

"Let's not mention the shadowless thing. Su Xinghe put down the document and looked at his son: "You can just sign it directly over there, right?"

Su Yuanshan shook his head with a smile: "No, with the east wind of consensus, it is completely possible to expand the results and fool UMC into building a wafer factory, but this requires dealing with government departments." ”

Su Xinghe thought for a while and nodded, he knew that his son didn't like to deal with officials, and he didn't want his son to face officialdom at such a young age: "Okay, let them send a trip over, set the specifications, I'll arrange it here." ”

"Okay. ”

After dinner, the three of them inevitably talked about the topic of lithography machine.

At this time, Su Xinghe and Zhang Ke did not object to Su Yuanshan's decision to spend 500 million yuan into the lithography machine, but they were very skeptical about whether the Chinese Academy of Sciences could accept Su Yuanshan's cooperation model.

500 million yuan, which is already ten times the country's investment.

It stands to reason that for a money-burning project such as a lithography machine, it is absolutely undesirable to get such support from the private sector.

But when faced with so much money, it will stimulate human greed.

Su Xinghe looked at his son and frowned: "This 500 million, in the eyes of some people, is a piece of fat. ”

"Then some people think too much. If I really want to get to that point, I will sign a lifetime contract for the people involved, give housing benefits, and a retirement system. I still don't believe it, I planted a plane tree here, and I can't attract a golden phoenix. ”

Su Yuanshan didn't panic at all.

Su Xinghe shook his head with a smile: "It's too simple to think, money is not everything." ”

Su Yuanshan said with a smile: "Cooperation, you have to force it." Otherwise, how can we always treat our rich people as fat sheep?"
