Institute of Microelectronics. Chen Yue's office.

Chen Yue was on the phone, holding the microphone and smiling, "Director Zhou, you also know that the current cutting-edge technology research and development, if you want to move forward, you can't be rigid in rules and regulations, you can't let go of it, even if you have the ability, you will be tied hand and foot......

We have put a lot of effort into the preparation, just the Alpha team composed of my American classmates who I hired back, we must have the ability to keep people, although this payment is much lower than the salary offered to them by the United States...... My friends and classmates are all looking at my face...... And I really want to do something for the country...... Relying on the funds on the project alone, if we don't allocate it in the future, we can't move it......"

"Yes, yes...... The state has allocated funds, but you know that the funds are also very limited, and there are many sub-projects of the whole project, which must be supported by Nanzhou City......"

A faint voice came from the other end of the phone, "Zhang Songnian's pattern...... Behind it is Li Jingping's ...... It's not that I don't cooperate with you, I also hope that we will produce a few major project results in Nanzhou, but there is no room for operation, Li Shi is very strict in this, and the expert group that evaluates you is not easy to accommodate, not only your University of Science and Technology, but also Zhao Tongguang of Tsinghua University, people are very sure, although the soft core of the No. 2 project of your research group has been designed and implemented, but the core technology is still based on a plan from the United States, and in essence, it still does not meet the requirements of the second phase of funding......"

When the call with the Nanzhou Science and Technology Department ended, Chen Yue sat in place with a solemn expression.

Zhang Xinyu, who came in to report to him, was even more nervous, so he dared to step forward and put things on the other party's desktop, and said, "Dean, you asked me to do the write-off, and I have already done it......"

Chen Yue nodded and let him go.

Zhang Xinyu went out, and there were other people belonging to different sub-topics waiting for him to come out, and then handed over the other materials to Chen Yue.

It's like meeting the Emperor.

Zhang Xinyu now has this feeling of being a companion like a tiger.

Now think about the Nie Yun who he betrayed and ran away, and now he is the leader of the integrated circuit design team of the joint laboratory between HKUST and CQ, and two papers have been published during this time, although they are not published in top influential journals, but this also means that he is on an upward path.

This made Zhang Xinyu, who betrayed Nie Yun in exchange for further progress in Chen Yue's team, feel completely unpleasant, yes, there are some things that are not easy to say and cannot be said...... It's like he did win Chen Yue's trust, and Chen Yue also let him take over...... What is being done now.

Zhang Xinyu is not stupid, even if he doesn't understand some of the mysteries, but he knows very well that the contract accounts, expenditures, and state funds written off by a technology company that is actually only registered and has no business are things that he can't say or dare to say.

And even if he helped Chen Yue get involved in this matter, he still didn't belong to the core, Chen Yue had several people like him on hand, who belonged to different subject areas......

And these may be slightly better than those peripheral researchers, at least Zhang Xinyu can now use Chen Yue's name to get a lot of benefits and a lot of status respect, not long ago a female student gave him a hand, how could there be such an opportunity before?

However, he still knew that he had not entered the true core in the deep-thinking Chen Yue.

Chen Yue's real trusted core position is his few personnel hired from the United States, called the "Alpha team", responsible for the core research and development of Chen Yue's project, and the technical content they are exposed to is beyond their reach.

The problem now is that the policy of Nanzhou City has changed, and all the funds will be given instead of the project, and there will be a review in the project, and the project will be funded in batches. Chen Yue's current funding sources are mainly in two aspects, one is the key project funds allocated by the state, which is still allocated as a whole after the project is directly established, but the above funds need to be supported by invoice expenses to be reversed. The second is the most flexible before, Nanzhou's science and technology support funds, this fund is also a very important section, the design of Chen Yue's big project under more than a dozen sub-projects, each sub-project funds are in the millions, some in the millions, in Chen Yue's relationship network and administrative capacity, can get on this funding is also very high.

But now, with the policy reform in Nanzhou, there is a problem in this area.

More than half of the sub-projects are now hindered in the secondary allocation of funds.

Zhang Xinyu felt that he didn't dare to appear in front of Chen Yue recently, and he was very worried that if he didn't pay attention, he would anger Chen Yue.

What makes Zhang Xinyu dare not think is another possibility.

If Chen Yue's so-called scientific research is just a flower in the moon and water in the mirror, and finally it is shattered, then if Chen Yue's existence at this level falls, then the fate of these monkeys under these trees will not be much better......

He's really panicking now.

Looking at Nie Yun again, in the school-enterprise co-construction laboratory, not high-profile but steadily advancing the research and development process, he admitted that he was jealous of him, jealous of his ability, and jealous that after he left Chen Yue, he was able to lead a team by himself so quickly with the support of nobles.

At the beginning, when faced with breaking with Nie Yun, Zhang Xinyu was apologetic but didn't care much about Nie Yun, who looked like a stray dog in his eyes, but now at this moment, he really felt regretful.

……

After Chen Yue couldn't get accurate results from the Department of Science and Technology, he talked to Huang Pei again, and the original intention was to use Huang Pei to come forward and use the influence of the University of Science and Technology to dredge the expert group, isn't it just a matter of signing fees.

In the words given to Huang Pei again, Chen Yue's tone was still a little excited, "It's really nonsense, these people only know how to make policies as soon as they pat their heads...... In some frontier fields, there is no way to accurately predict which link and which amount of funds, if you still want the project to advance funds in the early stage to study, and put the experience into how to collect money, then a good project may end up yellow!"

"I think the administrative level of Nanzhou is very chaotic...... They're going to have a problem doing this...... If I contact their supervisors, I'm asking for advice......"

This is a rare time for Chen Yue to show this kind of true anger in front of Huang Pei.

However, he could also feel Huang Pei's coldness immediately, "Dean Chen, I can understand your feelings, but you have to let the University of Science and Technology find a way, and now the University of Science and Technology has no choice, the experts of the human institution have given evaluation opinions and have prepared the case, and the University of Science and Technology will come forward for the second acceptance, and if there is a problem in the future, it is necessary to trace the responsibility......

Chen Yue understood, and Huang Pei supported their microelectronics institute before. And now, he's switched to a bet.

It's all something that the co-construction lab did. And in the end, it turned out that it was just the one named Cheng Ran who founded a student association!

Very good......

This is driving people to a dead end.

Then don't blame me.

……

In a hotel box outside the University of Science and Technology, Chen Yue met with someone, it was a young researcher with a thin face, looked around the restaurant room of the luxury hotel that Chen Yue selected, handed over the information in his hand, but his hand was still trembling a little, took a sip of the water next to him, and said, "This is the last issue of technical information...... All that's left is the quizzing, validation, and even the tape-out at the end...... Of course, there is still a long way to go......"

Chen Yue nodded, "You did a good job." ”

"Those ...... of mine"

"Rest assured, I will keep my promise. ”

Chen Yue's car went straight to the laboratory of the Institute of Microelectronics of the University of Science and Technology, where the entire Alpha team had already arrived.

Chen Yue put the information in his hand in front of them.

"Combined with the information from previous issues, the final verification will be completed as soon as possible...... You are all experts in your field, and I believe that you are no longer slower than them in the face of readily available information...... If we get the results out as soon as possible, we can be the first to release ......"
