"I heard that Mr. Li is interested in donating to the Chinese University of Chinese to establish a fourth college?" asked MacLeho.

Li Xuan nodded: "When I chatted with President Ma of CUHK before, I learned that the lack of seats is one of the biggest problems faced by CUHK if it wants to continue to expand its enrollment. So I plan to donate HK$100 million to build a new Haichuan College in my father's name to build a new dormitory, student activity centre and teaching building. ”

This is not a piece of news that needs to be kept secret, and if the Chinese University of Hong Kong wants to establish a fourth college, it will need the Legislative Council to amend the existing "Chinese Universities of Hong Kong Ordinance" in order for the new Ocean Chuan College to obtain real legal status.

"The Hong Kong government has always attached great importance to the development of higher education in Hong Kong, especially post-secondary education. The Hong Kong government has been making preliminary preparations for this, so I wonder if Mr. Lee is interested in becoming the chairman of the planning committee for this new school?" asked MacLehose with a smile.

The Committee on Review of Post-secondary and Industrial Education in Hong Kong submitted to the Hong Kong Government the idea of establishing a second polytechnic in Hong Kong in June of this year, which was the hottest topic in Hong Kong at that time. However, after receiving the report, the Governor's Office did not express its position for a long time, and everyone was disappointed and paid less attention to it. Li Xuan did not expect that MacLehose would be willing to promote this work before the end of his term.

So, he nodded without hesitation: "Although I temporarily dropped out of CUHK." I didn't finish college, but my year of college is still the most precious treasure in my life!

If Hong Kong can build a second polytechnic as much as possible. I am very willing to participate in this grand event that benefits all students in Hong Kong, and I can personally donate 50 million Hong Kong dollars as the start-up capital for the preparation of the project!"

Li Xuan happily promised to spend a lot of money again. He is definitely the first person in Hong Kong to donate money to study. From last year to now. His donations to several universities and tertiary institutions in Hong Kong have amounted to hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars. If there is a global charity list in this era, Li Xuan will definitely be eligible to be selected.

Of course, Li Xuan's boldness is not for nothing, and the scientific research development path chosen by Dongfang Electronics determines that its demand for senior technical talents is far more than that of other Hong Kong enterprises. Most of the money that Li Xuan threw down was invested in CUHK, HKU and the Hong Kong Polytechnic. Because there are only these three institutions in Hong Kong, there are a large number of science and engineering majors that Dongfang Electronics needs.

Schools such as Lingnan College and Baptist College are also second-tier tertiary institutions like Polytechnics. But Li Xuan only donated one or two million Hong Kong dollars to them.

In the early days of Dongfang Electronics' development, Li Xuan could still rely on his reborn golden finger to cheat. But as the development of the enterprise grows, the power of the individual will become smaller and smaller. I've never heard of giant companies like IBM and Motorola. Able to be supported by one or two technical geniuses. Every epoch-making achievement is the result of the efforts of many engineers behind the scenes.

Even the ARM architecture that Li Xuan is most familiar with, after nearly 30 years of continuous research and development, the instruction set has evolved from ARM-1 to ARM-8, and there are dozens of core subdivisions. Behind this is the brainchild of thousands of R&D personnel from many companies around the world, and no one can confidently claim to have complete control over the entire vast ARM family.

The ERM-1 architecture plagiarized by Li Xuan is just the most basic part of the ARM architecture in another time and space. If ERM wants to achieve the glory of ARM in another time and space in this life, it is by no means something that can be completed by just relying on Li Xuan to open his golden finger, and his golden finger is not so rebellious.

Li Xuan's strength is to rely on his own experience to grasp the correct direction of scientific research. Specific technology development work also requires a large number of scientific research talents to complete. The R&D staff of the ERM project team has swelled from a dozen at the beginning to hundreds now.

But Li Xuan thinks that it is still too few, and at least thousands of people will be needed to meet the requirements. But if all these R&D personnel are recruited from the United States and the United Kingdom, where high wages and benefits are high, salary expenses alone will be a very heavy burden. This is also Li Xuan's willingness to spend a lot of money to support the development of higher education in Hong Kong. and one of the fundamental reasons for the eagerness to carry out scientific research cooperation with the mainland. After all, the cost of scientific research in Asia is much lower than that of developed countries in Europe and the United States.

Next, Li Xuan vaguely raised his concerns to Mr. Governor, who was sitting opposite him. MacLehose is leaving the company. And will the new governor take office bring variables to the preparation of the school? Therefore, Li Xuan hopes that he will do his best to implement the matter before leaving the post of governor and make it an established fact.

MacLehao glanced at Li Xuan with some surprise. Even he himself had just received a notice from Downing Street that he was about to leave his post and retire at the end of the year. And the person in front of him seems to have his own news channel. I have been informed in advance of this news that has not yet been made public. MacLehose nodded, and he agreed with Li Xuan to implement the preparations for the new polytechnic.

Coming out of the Governor's Palace, Li Xuan was in a very good mood, originally he thought that he was just here to go through the motions tonight to deal with it. But he didn't expect that before leaving office, MacLehose had the intention to promote the construction of Hong Kong's second polytechnic, which was a surprise for Li Xuan.

The next morning, Zhang Zhongmou came to Li Xuan's office early and briefly recounted to his boss the results of the negotiations he had had made in Taiwan: "We have reached a preliminary agreement with the management bureau of the Hsinchu Science Industrial Park, and the other party is willing to set aside a 5-hectare piece of land for us to build a wafer factory and a chip testing and packaging factory! Moreover, the Hsinchu County Government is willing to give us the greatest preferential treatment and convenience in taxation, administrative examination and approval, and other work!"

"Although the Taiwan-Bay Industrial Technology Research Institute introduced complete sets of semiconductor technology from RCA companies as early as 76 years, ITRI is a public institution after all, and there are many internal problems. It's not very efficient!

UMC, which was spun off from ITRI last year, is building a 4-inch wafer fab. But their technical strength is very limited, and they can only target the low-end chip market! We went to the newly built factory in Taiwan and Bay. Technologically, it is much stronger than Hualian Electronics, and it is a real high-tech company!" Li Xuan said with a smile. He had already collected detailed information, and he was not surprised by the enthusiasm expressed by the Taiwan-Gulf side.

"Yes, Xu Xianxiu, chairman of the Industrial Technology Research Institute, and He Yici, director of the Science Park Administration of the Science and Technology Commission under the Executive Yuan, are the two main promoters of this negotiation. It is said that in order to allow Hsinchu County to make concessions, they even went directly to Mr. Jiang to report the situation!" Zhang Zhongmou said, the sincerity of the Taiwan-Gulf side is very sufficient, and the favorable conditions given far exceeded his original expectations.

At this time, Li Xuan's assistant Ke Lilun knocked on the door. walked in and said, "Li Sheng, President Peng has arrived early!"

"We have just reached an investment agreement with the mainland last month, and we are preparing to build a picture tube factory with a total investment of up to 200 million Hong Kong dollars in the Shekou Industrial Zone in the Deep Sea Special Economic Zone! It is said that after the news came out, the person in charge of the RCA company in Taiwan and the Gulf was invited by the relevant people in Taiwan and the Gulf several times to talk to see if the RCA company was ready to adjust its policies and start cooperating with the mainland government!

After we decided to invest in the mainland, we turned around and made a big investment in Taiwan and the Gulf, and this is of very important political significance to some people! Someone from the north has already been sent to test my position!" Li Xuan said with a smile to Zhang Zhongmou, and the other party immediately understood what he meant by his words.

In 1979, China and the United States suddenly announced the establishment of formal diplomatic relations, and the most hit by this news was undoubtedly the Taiwan-Taiwan authorities, who felt that they had suddenly become an outcast. The reason why the relevant departments in Taiwan and Taiwan are willing to give Dongfang Semiconductor Company very favorable conditions. In addition to the sincere desire to introduce high-tech enterprises to develop the semiconductor industry, there is no certain political meaning.

Not long ago, Dongfang Electronics cooperated with RCA and Lu's Electronics Co., Ltd., and decided to invest 200 million Hong Kong dollars to build a large-scale picture tube factory in Shekou Industrial Zone in the Deep Sea Special Economic Zone. The incident was widely reported by the media in Hong Kong at the time. Dongfang Electronics' position in the eyes of everyone naturally seems to be on the left.

However, another subsidiary of Dongfang Electronics immediately invested heavily in Taiwan-Wan. In the eyes of many people, it is tantamount to the Taiwan-Gulf side digging into the corners of the mainland. This can also be regarded as a shot in the arm for the Taiwan-Gulf society, which is in the midst of self-pity.

Negotiations between Oriental Semiconductor and Hsinchu Science Park have not really been reached. Many newspapers in Taiwan have published news that the new wafer fab is about to settle in Taiwan. This put Zhuke in a very passive situation in the negotiations, and Dongfang Semiconductor Company took the opportunity to take advantage of it. It can be said that the Taiwan-Gulf side is a political account, not an economic account.

After Zhang Zhongmou left, Li Xuan immediately invited Peng Fei, the president of the Hong Kong Xinhua Branch, into the office. Peng Fei was wearing a black suit, and smiled at Li Xuan after entering the door, but this smile looked like a bit of a bitter smile no matter how you looked at it.

Li Xuanshi was the key target of the united front work of the Xinhua Branch in Hong Kong this year, and the original work was carried out very smoothly. Although Lu's Electronics is nominally responsible for the construction of the CRT factory project in Shekou Industrial Zone, the actual major shareholder is Dongfang Electronics Company.

This is also Li Xuan's first time in the mainland, and he released a large satellite with a total investment of up to 200 million Hong Kong dollars. Moreover, Li Xuan had just gladly accepted Mr. Huo Yingdong's invitation to participate in the exchange group to go north, and was received by Dan and the central leaders in Beijing.

In Peng Fei's limited contact with Li Xuan, he discovered that Li Xuan was one of the few wealthy people in Hong Kong who did not have much political prejudice against the mainland. If he can have a voice in support of the central government on some issues, he will definitely be able to exert a good influence.

But before Peng Fei began to further unite to strengthen the relationship with Li Xuan. Several right-leaning newspapers in Hong Kong suddenly spoke out in unison, wantonly and intensively reporting the news that the Oriental Electronics Group had invested heavily in Taiwan's high-tech industries. This made Peng Fei a little uncertain about Li Xuan's position all of a sudden, so he had today's door-to-door visit.
