Chapter 195: Willing to spend money on R&D

Hu Yiting pointed to the various expensive development equipment in the newly renovated real room and said: "Prime Minister, this is our automation design room, the entire workstation 128 computers are networked in a central high-performance server, which can make real-time backup of all systems at the same time, and has a UPS power-off protection device." This advanced workstation system is something we just purchased from SUN in the United States, and it is specially designed for EDA electronic circuit automation. The hardware and software of this set of gadgets cost a total of $950,000. ”

Premier Li walked over in surprise, sat down in front of an open computer, and beckoned to a Xinhua reporter in the distance: "Come, take a picture of me." ”

After taking pictures, the prime minister stood up and said to Hu Yiting: "I am willing to invest money in research and development, it's good." ”

Hu Yiting took the premier and his entourage to the real room next door, pointed to the instruments neatly placed on a row of long tables, and said: "These are all kinds of digital-analog hybrid testers, network analyzers, vector signal generators that we have purchased from the United States, and there are also photoelectric test systems for micro-electrical materials and devices, and even low-temperature refrigeration systems, and the total price of these equipment is more than four million US dollars."

Premier Li and Hu Yiting walked around the newly renovated six-story building, and finally sighed: "Your small company is really willing to spend money, and the actual equipment alone has cost seven or eight million dollars. ”

Hu Yiting said with a smile: "Prime Minister, you said before that I had a tail, but I also need capital to have a tail."

We dare to pat our hearts and say that we are the number one private IC design enterprise in China, and we deserve to be the first-class technology enterprise in the country.

Therefore, I can't bear that those messy enterprises are also called high-tech enterprises with us, if gynecological rinse, cultivated ginseng, Chinese medicine aphrodisiac, real estate development can be crowned with the title of high-tech enterprises, then where is China's science and technology going?"

The premier waved his hand and said disapprovingly to Hu Yiting: "Don't calculate some things so clearly, whether it's New Hope or Enwei, in short, those few private enterprises are doing well! If you think about it, people's turnover can exceed more than one billion! This is a very remarkable thing! How many state-owned enterprises can't do it!"

The secretary next to him stepped forward at this time and said to the prime minister: "It's almost time." There are other enterprises in Zhongguancun Park to visit below. ”

Hu Yiting heard it clearly, and he also regretted it in his heart, feeling that he had talked too much today and his attitude was too crazy.

Unexpectedly. The prime minister then instructed the secretary: "I know that there are companies down there, but everything must be prioritized. ”

As soon as these words came out, Hu Yiting was overjoyed. The leading comrades who accompanied the visit were also shocked, knowing that the prime minister was making a very clear statement that he would vigorously support Chongguang.

Some local officials in the northern capital began to think about it. Is it not enough for me to support Chongguang in the future?

After the premier finished speaking, he continued to stand in the hall on the second floor and instructed Hu Yiting: "Hu Yiting, I tell you, people can become bigger, which means that their products also have a certain scientific and technological content, otherwise the local government will not close their eyes and blindly report, right? ”

The prime minister changed his words: "Of course, you are a special case, and President Zhou of the Chinese Academy of Sciences made a special report to me, thinking that you are a special private science and technology enterprise." I also agree with this formulation. ”

"Thank you Prime Minister for your trust and concern for our company. Hu Yiting said a clichΓ©. I hesitated whether I should take the opportunity to make a request.

As a result, the prime minister spoke first: "You said that you can double your sales by the end of the year, is there any basis for this confidence?"

Hu Yiting hurriedly said: "Prime Minister, the VCD decoding chip designed by our company has been successfully produced in Tailian current tablet, and now it has been officially put into production.

According to the current market situation of the domestic VCD market, we predict that it will not be a problem to complete the sales performance of 1 million pieces in China by the end of the year. ”

The Prime Minister asked, "Is this chip expensive?"

Hu Yiting said: "At present, the price of the type products of the American company Scober in the market is 75 US dollars a piece. ”

The prime minister was shocked and said, "If you sell 1 million pieces, won't you make $75 million?"

Hu Yiting smiled: "It can't be said that our selling price is only 80% of Scottber's, that is, 60 US dollars." ”

The Prime Minister asked fervently, "How much do you cost?"

Hu Yiting originally wanted to quote the cost higher. This is generally the usual practice of domestic enterprises in order to receive additional care and subsidies from the central government.

But Hu Yiting also hopes to attract more talents to enter the field of IC design and manufacturing, and hopes that the country can be attracted by the high profits in this field and invest more attention in this field.

"Because our orders are relatively large. 1 million pieces, so the industry UMC finally agreed, and the wafer fee was equivalent to 7.2 US dollars per piece. Spread out the design expenses and operating costs of our company, it is about more than 10 million yuan or nearly 20 million yuan. ”

The prime minister calculated quickly and was surprised: "The cost of each piece is only 9 dollars, and you sell it for 60 dollars? The Americans sell it for 75 dollars?"

Hu Yiting deliberately stimulated the premier: "In fact, the chip is silicon. Silicon chemistry is glass, and that thing is sand to put it bluntly. ”

When I was a university student in Moscow, some of my classmates studied silicon!"

Hu Yiting smiled and said no more.

The prime minister was a little stimulated, and asked Hu Yiting: "Can your Chongguang Company really sell 1 million pieces?"

Hu Yiting thought to himself, in 96 years in history, because of the big price reduction of optical drives and pirated disks swept the country, the national VCD sales reached 6 million units, and 1 million pieces of his own film is nothing, how can he not sell it.

Thinking of this, Hu Yiting was full of confidence: "Prime Minister, 1 million pieces is just a sales plan from September to the end of this year, and we plan to sell more than 4 million pieces next year." ”

The prime minister looked at the sunlight shining in the window, squinted his eyes, and he subconsciously felt that Hu Yiting was not putting satellites.

From the first time I saw this genius boy, I felt that he exuded a kind of light that pierced mediocrity, and the Youying Overlord chip that he had high hopes for has now swept the world, and this achievement, no domestic IC design company can do it.

"I believe in you. The prime minister nodded solemnly and asked Hu Yiting: "Hu Yiting, tell me, what do you want the country to do for you?"

Hu Yiting was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "I hope to get my own foreign exchange account, and the dollars I earn in the future do not need to be exchanged for RMB." ”

After speaking, he explained: "Chongguang Company is still growing rapidly, and many places need to spend money to purchase patented technology authorization and practical development equipment from abroad, and even need to set up branches abroad. So we urgently need dollars. ”

Hu Yiting swallowed his saliva: "Prime Minister, you know that the IC industry is a knowledge-intensive field of information explosion, the so-called 500 years of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period in one day, it is the changes that the IC industry is facing, the technology of this industry is changing at a high speed every day, if there is not enough foreign exchange autonomy, Chongguang Company is likely to miss some acquisition opportunities, and the world's best technology brushes shoulders." ”

"Hasn't the Ministry of Electronics Industry adjusted your foreign exchange quota to $5 million?"

"We need $7.2 million just to invest 1 million pieces in VCD chips, and $5 million is simply not enough.

Prime Minister, I won't tell you the truth, at present, our Chongguang Company relies entirely on the financial operation of the Hong Kong branch to mortgage the accounts paid to us by foreign companies in order to delay the entry into the accounts, and after the province is converted into RMB, there will be no US dollars available. ”

The prime minister looked at Hu Yiting's eyes and saw that they were as clear as tomorrow's stars, so he nodded: "You are honest." ”

After speaking, the prime minister smiled: "I believe in your vision, so let's do it, in the future, the foreign exchange earned by Chongguang Company will be up to you." ”

Hu Yiting was overjoyed: "Thank you, Prime Minister!"

The prime minister then said: "But I have one condition, your funds must first be put into the foreign exchange reserves, and then the Hong Kong branch of the Bank of China will allocate them back to you." ”

Hu Yiting was stunned for a moment, and Wang Lili finally couldn't help but interject softly and reminded: "You have to let Bank of China earn some handling fees." ”

Hu Yiting suddenly realized.

The prime minister also smiled, pointed at Wang Lili and said: "I think the president you invited is smarter than you, and your brain is more suitable for scientific research." (To be continued.) )
