An operation called "Fighting Tigers" is going on vigorously.

This is a good thing for all walks of life, especially in the business world, where the business order is gradually becoming more transparent and fair, and people's long-held grievances have been alleviated.

Coupled with the booming momentum of economic development, not to mention that all of them are living a good life, at least in the developed coastal areas, many people's living standards have entered the threshold of quasi-developed countries.

This change undoubtedly made Fan Liancheng very happy.

Whether it's two wallets, four wallets, or six wallets, the house is exceptionally easy to sell anyway, and it always depends on grabbing it when it opens, and the speed of collection is amazing, which makes him even happier.

A group of experts began to sing about the decline of housing prices more than ten years ago, but during this period, housing prices have risen all the way, which can be regarded as a miserable situation for some potential buyers.

Now it has finally reached the high level of Fan Liancheng's expected value, but ushered in a wave of peak home purchases, the so-called high does not mean that he thinks it will fall, but in April 2016, he feels that in the short term, most cities have little room for house prices to rise, at least not as perverted as in previous years.

On the other hand, some of the population is less than one million, especially the small and medium-sized cities in the eastern coastal areas, as if they were in hindsight, began to usher in a larger increase in housing prices, these third- and fourth-tier cities happen to be the focus of Fan Liancheng's layout since he became the chairman, aside from the tax aspect, many places can double the profits, and there are examples of a real estate earning twice as much.

At present, Longcheng Group has more than 200 real estate projects under construction, nearly 70% of which are concentrated in first- and second-tier cities, accounting for 82% of the total project expenditure.

There are a lot of people who can't afford to buy a house and scold real estate, Fan Liancheng is quite calm, from the perspective of the chairman of the company, Longcheng has directly and indirectly provided nearly 200,000 jobs in recent years, driving the development of the upstream and downstream around the real estate industry, and paid nearly 40 billion yuan in taxes in 2015, as an entrepreneur, this contribution is undoubtedly amazing.

In addition, Fans Holdings and other enterprises are also paying taxes, providing employment opportunities, it can only be said that there are two sides to things, some people do not buy a house to produce losses, there are people who buy a house to earn money, from a macro point of view, there is no doubt that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, so many years of rapid economic growth, as one of the pillar industries of real estate contribution is not small, by the way radiated to infrastructure, urban transformation, urbanization and other fields, to provide considerable funds for public expenditure.

From the perspective of personal interests, many people have indeed missed a good opportunity, and the root cause of the contradiction is mainly that the gap between the rich and the poor has been widened, but it is intuitively displayed in the real estate field, so that real estate businessmen, including Fan Liancheng, have a big black pot on their backs.

......

Longcheng Group invests in many upstream enterprises, from the construction industry to all kinds of building materials, centralized procurement for the development of real estate, and sales are also equipped with corresponding subsidiaries.

This leads to a more transparent procurement process, but a big mouse still popped up in the near future, because he didn't bring his subordinates to share the money, Fan Liancheng heard the rumors, and directly took down a branch general manager, mainly responsible for the south of Pengcheng and the surrounding business.

Aside at the time when he first started business, Fan Liancheng may be more concerned, and now he has become one of the small fritters among businessmen, understanding that wealth is moving, and this phenomenon cannot be completely eradicated, so he is quite calm, and has opened a new round of inspection activities, directly pointing to the financial system, and checking the procurement accounts of the past three years.

In the real estate business, Fan Liancheng has never been worried.

What worries him is that in the field of semiconductors, he has invested so much money, but it is far from the expected results.

The high-tech industry is not like infrastructure, if you want to think more about it, you can use steel and concrete, catch up with the international metropolis, many basic patents that cannot be bypassed are in the hands of other countries, and many talents and R&D centers are also in their hands, and more importantly, not to mention the abundant funds, they also join hands to implement a technological blockade on the mainland, which is completely treated as a big injustice and a cash cow, and the profits earned by them are increasing year by year.

It is easy to design chips, but even if you design high-performance top-of-the-line chips, there is no manufacturer in China that can produce them.

For example, SMIC, which has invested in Fan Liancheng one after another and even bought out shares from Datang Telecom at a premium, had revenue of less than $2 billion last year, and the contribution of wafers below 90 nanometers accounted for half of it, which is still supported by many domestic manufacturers.

In other words, it means that it is not even advantageous in the low-end field, let alone improve the field of end wafer production, and the lithography machine that can produce 28 nanometers can only be delivered in the near future, and TSMC has long been ready to put into production 10 nanometers, and has made some progress in the 5-nanometer process.

Fan Liancheng was quite unhappy about this, but he was helpless.

On April 19, the shovel dug into the corner of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and used the high salary plus the vacant welfare house of the Fans Houtan Riverside Apartment to dig up an AI chip research and development team.

At this moment, walking in the industrial park that was taken over after the unfinished, the original developer went to prison, and the court auctioned the industrial park, which was discounted compared with the market price, spending a total of more than 3 billion yuan, which is not small.

Fan Liancheng told a group of future Longcheng University professors that a research and development center will be built here in the future, which will be used by Longcheng University, but the only drawback is that it is more than ten kilometers away from the university's location, and there is no subway passing nearby, which is slightly remote.

Talking about the previous chip production and R&D plan, Fan Liancheng couldn't help but smile and scolded his mother, and said as he walked:

"I used to invest, not to say 100% success, on the whole, I still make more than I lose, the only heavy loss is in this semiconductor field, 20 billion funds invested in, stunned is only a small splash, other semiconductor fields are okay, like to acquire ready-made companies, barely lose money, there is an integrated circuit company performance OK.

Even if there is money, the Dutch ASML lithography company is not willing to sell their most advanced products, and the shareholders are a group of old American people, who are the most powerful, and we are sure that we can't develop cutting-edge lithography machines. ”

Among the group, there was a middle-aged man surnamed Song, in his forties, who had just returned from Silicon Valley a few years ago.

After listening to it, he shook his head and said: "The blockade of our technology is the consensus of major manufacturers, how can that kind of cutting-edge equipment be sold to us, I have to say that it is really possible that it cannot be developed, after all, it gathers all the most advanced products in the world, and these companies have the United States behind them, and they don't want to lose market share." ”

Fan Liancheng already understood this, sighed and said: "Yes, judging from the experience of other countries in the past, even if our research progresses, the next may be the most severe comprehensive blockade, it's okay to break through, it's a big deal to start a new stove by yourself, it's uncomfortable to break through that day, and you will keep an eye on us in the future, and do everything possible to strangle it as soon as there is a wind and grass, so I can't think of a good way, so I can only buy products that are about to be eliminated at a high price." ”

Professor Song sighed, mainly because it was blocked on all sides, and the light research technology was not useful, and he had to consider whether it could be turned into a finished product.

Just like chefs still need to learn to grow vegetables, raise pigs, and catch fish, pilots need to develop and produce their own aircraft, otherwise the foundry will not accept it if it is not accepted, and it will be a hooligan in the open, but there is no way, and there is no corresponding technology to restrain the other party.

He paused for a few seconds and told Fan Liancheng: "In the field of semiconductors, they are the pioneers, and the background has been accumulated for decades, and it is extremely deep. We don't have everyone, we have better, and it's not impossible to break through. ”

Fan Liancheng's eyes immediately lit up, and his mouth said, "Oh?

Professor Song couldn't cry or laugh, and suddenly shook his head: "I don't have that ability, I mean to start from scratch, get rid of the patent barriers they set up, and develop carbon-based chips, or graphene chips, or develop a new technology for lithography machines, and don't buy their lithography machines, it's not easy to ......."
