Chapter 770: Spending money is like running water
"Wang Dong, this is the funding application form of our R&D center, you can take a look. Professor Gao, the head of the engine R&D center, handed a document to Wang Hao'an, while observing Wang Hao'an's expression.
There is no way, there are too many funds to apply, each group needs funds, to purchase international advanced materials, to carry out various combination tests, which are all to burn money.
Before he was in charge of the technology research and development center of the Bingfei factory, he had never applied for such a large amount of funds, because he knew that he would not be able to pass, even if it was one-tenth, the leaders would not sign it, but persuaded him to give up some projects.
It's not that the leaders don't want to develop better technology, it's that they don't have the money.
For those who do scientific research, this kind of thing is the most painful. Obviously I have found a research and development direction and made preparations, but I can't go on, what is the point of those previous theoretical deductions?
It feels like you take a girl to a hotel, your pants are off, and you even knock a small blue pill, but the other party suddenly disappears, and you must have the heart of a dog in your heart.
"Wang Dong, I know that this fund is a bit much, and the part with bold handwriting is very important, and other projects can wait a little, but ......"
"No problem, approved. Wang Haoan swiped and signed the document, "Take it to the finance, and they will transfer the money to the account." ”
Professor Gao's words were stuck in his throat, and he still wanted to take the initiative to cut some items in order to obtain Wang Dong's consent, but he didn't expect Wang Dong to sign it, and not a single project was deleted.
"Take it, do you have anything else?" Wang Haoan looked at Professor Gao.
"Uh~~~ It's okay, I'll inform you and let them deduce the theory again, no, three times. Thank you for your trust, we will definitely live up to your trust. ”
"Again, I'll give you enough money to do research and development, as long as you follow the direction I require. I won't do you any badly. ”
If the research and development is successful, even if it cannot be mass-produced due to material problems, then this technology can also be patented, and then it can be used for technology exchange with some international second-rate car companies.
There are many industrial R&D centers in the world, and they basically do not produce any industrial equipment, mainly to do R&D, and then make profits by selling technology patent licensing.
Of course, in order to make such a profit, the premise is that your technology is good enough and others can produce it. If your technology is average, or the cost is too high, and mass production is difficult, then others will not buy the patent license, and it is possible to buy out the patent for continued research and development.
Wang Haoan knows very well how important industrial technology patents are, he will never sell out the patents anyway, as long as he has the technology and keeps up with the report, I believe that the political axe will be willing to help solve some problems.
Huaxia political axe is very clear about what industrial technology upgrading means to the country, if the domestic research and development of successful technology, they will definitely vigorously support, and even use political ~~~ governance factors to influence the decision of foreign enterprises, in order to enhance the strength of Huaxia's automobile industry.
You say that the country is full of cars of foreign brands, but the leaders of Huaxia don't know about it? They know it, and they also understand the consequences of this.
That's why there are high tariffs on imported cars, so that the sales of imported cars can't be raised. As for joint ventures, more money is made by state-owned assets, and of course a lot of money is also distributed to foreign capital.
However, because of technical limitations, they have to make such a choice, and Huaxia's car companies are also desperately trying to understand foreign technology, and strive to make breakthroughs in an attempt to reverse the situation in the future.
At the beginning, it was because Huaxia's demand for automobiles increased rapidly, and the relationship with Soviet Russia had some problems, and the technology was not available, and Soviet Russian cars were no longer popular.
The joint venture was the only way at that time, otherwise you paid for it, and others didn't sell it, they would rather not make this money, anyway, Huaxia still had to import their cars.
Joint venture car companies are all for a certain number of years, short twenty or thirty years, long will not exceed fifty years, Huaxia is in this way, overdraft now, win in the future.
But if you don't need an overdraft now to meet domestic demand, then how can the political axe be willing to let foreign-funded companies make a lot of money in their own country?
Any country knows that trade can greatly drive economic development, but a surplus and a deficit are completely different. Sell more, earn more, buy less, spend less, this is the most cost-effective.
In his previous life, Wang Haoan also saw Huaxia later revitalize its own brand, and the development was not bad. And before Wang Hao'an's rebirth, the imported Volkswagen, crazy fields or something were sold very ordinary.
Huaxia's imported cars account for more than 10% of the total sales, and most of them are high-end luxury cars. Huaxia's own brand sales accounted for more than 20% and grew rapidly.
When the political axe wants to regulate the sales of some products in China, there are actually many ways, provided that your product can really be handled.
Wang Haoan is well aware of the importance of technology in the automotive industry, and since he has decided to enter the industry in a big way, he is ready to invest a lot of money.
How many people are waiting to see him laugh now, how can he give those people a chance?
Knowing that the funding applications of the engine R&D center were all approved, the other three R&D centers also immediately called to apply for reports, especially the report of the body R&D center was the most positive, because they were the only ones that could bring in revenue at the moment.
Although this will not make much money, if the exterior and interior of the body can be welcomed by consumers, then the reputation of the R&D center will rise sharply, and more orders will be received in the future.
For a long time, the body R&D center has always felt that it is inferior to the other three R&D centers, because the technology of others seems to be higher and the technical barriers are thicker.
But Wang Dong said that the purpose of his investment is to make money, if their R&D center can bring income first, and let the R&D center's statement is not a deficit, but a balance, then Wang Dong must be very satisfied, and will definitely give them satisfactory rewards.
Wang Hao'an has approved the funding applications for the four R&D centers, and the funds have been continuously allocated. This kind of R&D is funded in stages, and only when you reach a certain level of R&D can you have the next grant.
But even so, the first tranche of funding is more than $100 million, and it is stated that it is short-term, and it will definitely continue to be allocated next quarter, and it may not even have to wait until the next quarter, and the grant will continue to be applied for next month.
Wang Haoan also sent several financial personnel to supervise the use of funds, if anyone took advantage of this to enrich their own pockets, Wang Haoan did not mind giving the other party a lesson that will never be forgotten.
When the second fund application form was signed, Wang Haoan had a feeling of spending money like water.
Building a car is really burning money!
