Xue Minglou left the conference room in the annex building with Jiang Minzhi, Jiang Minzhi's office was on the sixth floor of the main building, the corridor between the main building and the annex building was dark and narrow, and the offices on both sides of the corridor were closed, and he didn't know what the staff of the provincial government were doing in the office.

The moment he left the conference room, he still had a smile on his face, turned around, and coughed lightly, as if the smile on his face also fell apart between this light cough - when he crossed the aisle, Jiang Minzhi's face was gloomy, and Xue Minglou was silent behind Jiang Minzhi.
Jiang Minzhi thought that the pressure of the Chen Qibin case and the Yunlin Securities case had loosened Li Yuanhu's position, and that this was his first big victory after arriving in the East China Sea. He asked Lu Wenfu to attend this afternoon's meeting, mainly to pave the way for the future adjustment of Lu Wenfu to be in charge of education work, and for Liu Wentao to take over the field in charge of Lu Wenfu after he was transferred to the province. Jiang Minzhi thought that he had won a certain initiative in the East China Sea, but Kumho's generosity today made him feel a sense of loss after being frustrated, especially when Li Yuanhu personally called him to attend the afternoon meeting.
When he arrived at the office, Jiang Minzhi held the doorknob and hesitated for a moment before instructing Xue Minglou: "If there is nothing important in the afternoon, help push it off." ”
"Hmm." Xue Minglou nodded in response, watching Jiang Minzhi walk into the inner office, he walked back to his desk, and looked at the information from Kumho called up from the computer.
$80 million is 650 million yuan.
Today, when the total annual budget of the province's colleges and universities is only 1.6 billion yuan, Kumho will inject more than 600 million yuan into the university discipline construction promotion fund this year, and next year's budget will be as high as 800 million yuan.
No one can refuse Kumho's generous donation, Kumho is also more powerful than anyone thinks, at least Jiang Minzhi does not want to find an opportunity to attack Kumho during his term as governor, even if Liu Wentao is transferred to the province to replace Lu Wenfu's position, in fact, it can play a very limited role in Kumho's clamping.
Li Yuanhu's phone call at noon was really interesting, undoubtedly telling Jiang Minzhi that there were some boundaries in the East China Sea that he couldn't cross.
Xue Minglou looked at the Kumho information displayed on the computer screen and rubbed his temples.
At the beginning of the year, some media quoted Ding Huai, the chief technical officer of AIDA Group, as saying that Oak Park's scientific research budget this year would reach 400 million US dollars, which caused a wave of surprise and uproar at the time. According to the data collected by the Ministry of Information Industry, the sales volume of Aida Group in 99 years was close to 20 billion, ranking among the top 100 electronic enterprises, and the net profit reached 4 billion, Kumho almost took out three-quarters of the profits, 16% of the sales were invested in new technology research and development, and even some media commented that Kumho was a little bit sharp in technology investment.
Now it seems that these data have been seriously dehydrated, not only the scientific research budget has been seriously shrunk, Xue Minglou believes that the sales revenue and annual net profit data of the Aida Group announced by the Ministry of Information Industry have also been seriously shrunk. Maybe the Ministry of Information Industry knows that Kumho is cheating on data, and maybe they need Kumho to falsify data so that Huaxia Electronics can maintain its position in the top 100 electronic list.
Jiang Minzhi wanted to check Kumho's domestic tax data, of course, he could find it, but it was a pity that almost half of the companies in Kumho's complex corporate membership system were registered overseas, and it was extremely difficult to check the financial data of Kumho's overseas companies.
Kumho's domestic tax data is basically consistent with Kumho's public financial data, which creates a false impression to others, that is, many overseas companies registered by Kumho are only instrumental companies, perhaps for the convenience of cross-shareholding, at this time, it seems that these companies are not all shell companies, but for various reasons, they are hidden in the shadows.
Xue Minglou thought of another possibility, if the domestic suppression of Kumho was too clumsy and caused a strong backlash from Kumho, would these overseas companies hidden in the shadows at this time come to the surface and play a role?
It is said that AIDA is the core enterprise of Kumho, and from another level, Kumho Commercial is the core of Kumho, and Kumho Commercial was headquartered in Hong Kong at the beginning of its establishment, probably because it also wanted to take advantage of the different legal systems of Hong Kong and the mainland.
At the beginning of the establishment of Oak Park, the route of integrated development of industry, education and research was determined, Kumho could not introduce high-end talents from overseas without restrictions, and the cultivation of local talents was fundamental, and it was also necessary to let the scientific research strength of universities play an applied role.
Both Zhang Ke and other Kumho executives realized that Aida's focus would be more on the development of applied technology and less on more basic scientific research. It is almost inevitable that all Kumho member companies will have to revolve around the driving axis of profitability, which will inevitably limit their vision and prevent them from seeing the long-term direction of development - universities should play a more important role in basic scientific research and high-end talent training.
Although the University of Tokyo is one of the top universities in China, with a history of more than 100 years, and many cultural and academic celebrities have emerged, there is still a huge gap between it and the world's first-class universities.
Kumho has made many attempts and done a lot of basic work in the integrated development of industry, education and research, whether it is from the training system related to the dual-guide system, or the Oak Park Entrepreneurship Fund and other related scientific research and entrepreneurship incentive systems, and has done a lot of basic work and achieved fruitful results, and now is the time to promote the rapid development and regularization of related work. This is why we have recently made a decision to set up a university discipline construction promotion fund under the name of Oak Park, and inject a certain percentage of the research budget into the fund every year, mainly to help Tokyo University rapidly grow into a world-class research university, so that Tokyo University will become a real foundation for Kumho to rely on in the future.
Before attending the meeting in the afternoon, Li Hongming only hoped that Kumho's donation would remain at the same level as the previous academic year, so that the University of Tokyo would have a more relaxed budget environment for the next academic year and be able to do a few more things. Who would have thought that Kumho would inject $80 million into the Discipline Construction Promotion Fund in the second half of the year, which is almost equal to the total annual income of the University.
Li Hongming and Chen Xinsheng had a preliminary exchange of views, and the Discipline Construction Promotion Fund is to help the University of Tokyo develop into a world-class first-class university as soon as possible, and the members of the fund review committee are also selected from the professors of the University. Chen Xinsheng did not tell Li Hongming about the proportion of the fund's scientific research budget, but promised him to invest no less than 800 million US dollars in five years.
Chen Xinsheng, Zhang Ke, and Ye Xiaotong still had a meeting to attend in the Oak Garden in the afternoon, so they left by car first.
Li Hongming's mood calmed down a little after a long time, sat in the car, and complained loudly to Cui Guoheng and Qin Gang: "You two, you were sloppy with me before you came over!" ”
Qin Gang spread his hands and said, "I heard that it has not changed much from last year, but I don't know that last year's donation to the Aida Cultural Fund is also counted. ”
Last year, Kumho donated 200 million yuan to the university education system and 400 million yuan to establish the Aida Cultural Fund, totaling 600 million yuan, which is not much different from 80 million US dollars.
"I really don't know the details," Cui Guoheng said with a smile, "In June, the administrative office will issue an evaluation report on the ten-year investment of domestic universities, and we predict that Tsinghua University's investment in running schools will reach $600 million per year in ten years, and the University of Tokyo will probably only reach half the level of Tsinghua University." ”
"Our current funding is only half that of Tsinghua University," Li said, "but with the addition of the Discipline Construction Promotion Fund, this gap has been smoothed out." ”
"That's what Kumho means," said Choi, "and I didn't say the amount at first, but we discussed whether the donations would be concentrated at Tokyo University or dispersed among the universities." In the end, it was decided to concentrate on the University of Tokyo, because the University of Tokyo has more autonomy in running the school, and with this funding, it can do more experimental work, and if the University of Tokyo can develop into a world-class first-class university before Tsinghua University, then the experience of the University of Tokyo will be more instructive......
Li Hongming stroked his forehead and thought about some questions, he didn't think about getting so much money from Kumho before, he had made a relatively bold plan for the five-year investment of the University of Tokyo, which was more than 800 million U.S. dollars and 7 billion yuan, and the direct funding from the central and provincial governments would not exceed 3.5 billion, and the tuition income would not exceed 500 million, which meant that the University also needed to raise 3 billion yuan of its own funds for running the school. Considering the great social influence of the University and the fruitful work of the university's industrial investment group in the past two years, although it is difficult to raise 3 billion yuan of self-funded funds for running the school in five years, it is not impossible.
Li Hongming often laughed at himself as a beggar disciple and thought about begging for money all day long, but he did not expect Kumho to promise to inject $800 million into Tokyo University through the Discipline Construction Promotion Fund within five years, and if he could have this huge budget within five years, Li Hongming was confident that he would lead Tokyo University to impact Tsinghua University's domestic and international status.
Qin Gang said very little, when it came to the future development plan of Dongda, no one asked him, he naturally couldn't interject, he didn't expect Kumho to invest such a large amount of money in Dongda, and he was relieved to think about it.
He knows that Oak Park's scientific research budget this year is about $800 million, and the budget for scientific research in the next five years will be as high as $6 billion to $80. This is an eye-shattering number, but it must also meet this standard before AIDA Group can truly step into the ranks of world-class electronic enterprises in five years. Within five years, profits from consumer electronics such as digital phones and portable music players will also support Kumho's large-scale investment in scientific research. If Kumho is to support the development of Tokyo University into a world-class university as a long-term strategy, it is an appropriate proportion to allocate 10% of the budget from research funding.
In addition to Oak Park and other Kumho member companies directly attracting high-quality talents from the University of Tokyo and carrying out extensive technical cooperation with various departments and laboratories of the University, the Oak Park Entrepreneurship Fund and Oak Park have jointly established a number of technology-based entrepreneurship support funds with Quantum Online, Dongda Chuangyu and Dongda Science and Technology Corporation, almost all of which are based on the talents and technology of Dongda, and the combined assets of these funds have exceeded 5 billion. As long as the increase in the assets directly promoted by these funds exceeds 6.5 billion yuan in the future, Kumho will have a full return on its investment in Dongda for five consecutive years.
Of course, what Kumho is doing now is to let Tokyo University also directly participate in these technology-based entrepreneurship support funds, and Oak Park Venture Fund also provides financing services to the start-ups under the Tokyo University Science and Technology Corporation, not only to make the cooperation between the two sides closer, but also to hope that Tokyo University can directly obtain more and more direct benefits from this cooperation model, and obtain a broader channel for the university's funding sources.
The establishment of the University Discipline Construction Promotion Fund needs to solve a series of problems, Kumho is hoping that Li Hongming and Cui Guoheng will jointly recommend the members of the committee, of course, there are also a group of scientists from the Oak Park side will enter the list of committee members, and the management rules of the fund, especially the annual fund allocation standards and evaluation rules, should also be discussed and decided with Oak Park after the establishment of the committee.
