Chapter 159 The era of signing a contract with a power giant and engaging in R&D single-handedly has passed

Luo Jia didn't expect that he would come to the capital again so soon.

The weather in mid-October was already slightly cool, and when he got up in the morning, Luo Jia habitually reached out to get the hooded sweatshirt that was still on the bedside table, but he thought about it and remembered that today was a special day, and he had to wear something more formal.

So he shrugged his shoulders and went into the bathroom to wash up, then changed into a new gray suit and stood in front of the huge dressing mirror.

Luo Jia is not a person who cares about appearance, the suit was temporarily bought in a nearby shopping mall, and the tie is only more than 6,000 yuan, and the domestic SAINT ANGELO brand is only.

However, when Luo Jia wore this set of clothes, the effect was really a little amazing, and even the eldest sister who sold suits praised Luo Jia for her good body shape and spirit.

Luo Jia in the mirror is a little stronger than in the past, the upper body presents a perfect inverted triangle, since becoming the inheritor of the extraterrestrial civilization, the magical dripping sound in his mind has not only changed his knowledge structure, but also changed his physical fitness.

Although he only slept for a short time every day, he was still able to experience abundantly, occasionally going to the gym for a run, and he did not feel tired after seven or eight kilometers, but was indescribably comfortable.

Luo Jia came to the hotel cafeteria, Hong Tao and they had arrived in advance, everyone had breakfast together, and then left for the Great Wall Hotel, where the signing ceremony with the power department will be held.

"I heard that a lot of bigwigs will be here today." Hong Tao said excitedly, "The highlight is the speech after the signing ceremony, it is estimated that when Mr. Luo's speech is over, the video will appear on the desks of many departments, and it can really play a certain role in promoting our country's future R&D investment." ”

Luo Jia smiled, this is the main reason for his careful preparation today, the power department proposed, after the signing, let Luo Jia come to the stage to speak.

Last time he gave a speech at the International Hotel, it is said that it caused a great response at the top level, as a top scientific research enterprise in the limelight in China, Luo Jia's opinion is very valuable for the top management.

In fact, there are many people who want Luo Jia to give a speech.

I think that when Luo Jia appeared in Fudan for the first time, he promised the deans to give a speech in the future, and then Luo Jia began his arduous entrepreneurial road.

This delay has dragged on for more than a year, and every time he sees Dean Sha Zhan, when he mentions this matter, Luo Jia always feels very embarrassed.

However, today's speech has a special significance, Luo Jia still agreed, and positioned the theme of the speech as R&D investment, which is a sensitive and crucial topic.

Soon after, they arrived at the Great Wall Hotel, where Professor Ouyang's student Sun Jingtao and two employees of the power department were waiting outside, and after they picked up Luo Jia, they led him to the signing venue.

There are not many people, mainly reporters invited by some power departments, and judging from the badges hanging on the reporters, most of them are from the official media.

The process of the signing ceremony is even simpler.

Professor Ouyang and Chief Engineer Ning took Luo Jia to meet some senior executives of power companies, and then Luo Jia and the senior management of the power grid came forward to sign their names on the contracts that had been prepared by the commercial department and the legal department.

Luo Jia called this process a pose, because how to sit, how to hold a pen, how to shake hands, are all reminded by those photojournalists.

When it comes to the signing process, with a stroke of the pen, just put your name on the document.

The contract was two hundred and seventy pages long, a thick stack.

Both Xingchen Technology and Power Grid have a strong legal team, and the details of patent authorization, ownership of rights, attribution of obligations, and citations of specific provisions of domestic and international law in the contract must be clearly written on the contract.

When the signing ceremony ended, there was warm applause all around.

The power department has obtained the exclusive authorization of the engineering ship, and Xingchen Technology has also become the exclusive supplier of the domestic supercapacitor energy storage center, and the two sides can be regarded as taking what they need.

The contract given by the power department is quite lucrative, with a profit margin of about 20 percent, which belongs to all the projects of Xingchen Technology, the one with less profit, which is close to the battery project, but lower than the optical department, the chemical department, and the display department, and the profit margin of these business divisions can reach an astonishing 40 percent.

The key is that the two products of battery and capacitor are too large, far exceeding the cameras produced by Xingchen Technology.

People can't always think about money, you know, it is the national team that signed a contract with Xingchen Technology, and it is wiser to shear less wool from the national team.

After all, after the power grid gets the supercapacitor, Luo Jia's electric vehicles and motorcycles can be launched in large quantities, which has a close relationship of interest.

Besides, anyone who has ever done business knows that a profit margin of 20 percent is very high.

At the beginning, Comrade Luo Ning's small factory that made plastic beads would not have gone bankrupt if it had a profit margin of 20 percent.

Of course, Comrade Luo Ning's bankruptcy was mainly due to the conflict with the general direction of the country.

Making plastic beads belongs to polluting enterprises, not only now, but even in the distant future, polluting enterprises will not have a future, this is the consensus of the whole country, after all, everyone is fed up with that damn haze.

All in all, the signing of the contract is just a formality, let the reporters take a few photos for future publicity, and the real highlight today is that Luo Jia will make a speech.

Why is speech important?

Because Professor Ouyang had already told Luo Jia in advance, some bigwigs wanted to listen in person, which bigwigs were specific, Professor Ouyang didn't say, anyway, he could leave a good impression in front of these bigwigs, which would be very helpful to the future development of Xingchen Technology.

Professor Ouyang personally took Luo Jia to the venue, which was in a larger conference hall upstairs.

When she walked into the conference hall, Luo Jia saw that there were some cubicles in the back row and on both sides, a bit like the layout of a small concert hall.

The back row of the cubicle and conference hall was already full, and Luo Jia glanced at it casually and found that he didn't know anyone.

But judging from the appearance of these people, coupled with the security guards around the venue wearing black suits and wireless headphones, there should be some big shots.

The bigwigs are keeping a low profile, and given the treacherous environment of the trade war, officials are now minimizing their contacts with the private sector.

Huawei is a ready-made example, foreign forces suspect that Huawei has an unclear relationship with the government, and Mr. Ren is now very passive, and in the name of national security, Huawei's products are banned and driven out of the market.

"You can rest assured that you can speak boldly today." Professor Ouyang said to Luo Jia, "But although there is no time limit, I still advise you to speak a little faster, after all, the time of these bigwigs here is very tight." ”

Luo Jia nodded, indicating that she understood.

On an occasion like this, there is no host, let alone a reporter, Luo Jia walked up to the stage alone, knocked on the microphone, and the microphone made two bangs.

glanced at the audience, and saw that everyone was already full, because there were many high-level people, everyone was more reserved, so no one applauded, just sat quietly.

Luo Jia cleared her throat and said with a smile, "Since our Xingchen Technology is a R&D-based enterprise, then I will tell you about R&D today." ”

"All of you are industry bosses, I am young and have little knowledge, if you don't speak well, please bear with me."

The people in the audience nodded one after another, Luo Jia's language style has always been like this, as long as he doesn't talk about professional issues, he is very relaxed, there is no literary crepe, that is, he speaks in the vernacular.

Luo Jia paused and said: "When I was young, I was relatively simple, I didn't think about being an entrepreneur, but I wanted to be a scientist. ”

"So I read a lot of biographies of scientists, and many years have passed, and I still remember that the stories of those scientists seem to be that they single-handedly made shocking research, at most there are a few assistants around them, and they are all small teams anyway."

"But today, I finally found that the model of small teams and small investment in R&D in the past is completely ineffective."

"Take our Xingchen Technology as an example, our mobile phone operating system was developed by more than 1,000 elites in the software department for more than half a year."

"For the battery and electronic control project, the hardware department has invested more than 2,000 people and has been engaged in it for more than half a year."

"To put it mildly, this is our Xingchen Technology, if we change to other companies, the research and development time will be at least several times."

"Not to mention spending money, so far, the Xingchen Research Institute has spent more than 60 billion yuan on infrastructure construction and experimental equipment investment, and with the expansion of the R&D team and the increase of R&D projects, we have to burn more money in R&D."

"It can be seen that research and development is no longer something that can be done by one or two people with a little cleverness, and it requires a lot of input and a lot of output."

"If you have a small company with more than a dozen people, you can find the CEOs and tell you that they have come up with a power grid master control processor, which can achieve more efficient grid management."

"This kind of person must be a liar, because the processor, not to mention the design experience, design tools, just looking for SMIC tape-out, it will cost almost a billion, a full set of tape-out tests, at least billions of investment, not a super large enterprise, can not make chips at all."

"Speaking of which, I'm going to take out our old rival Neon again as an example."

"In 2017, something happened that I couldn't understand at all, Toshiba Storage was sold to a consortium led by Wall Street Bain Capital for $18 billion."

"What is the concept of Toshiba's storage division, it is the last fortress of neon in the field of memory chips, if it is sold, no neon company can make memory chips."

"It's like our country has sold SMIC, how is it possible! If it were put on us, something like this would never have happened. ”

There was a sigh from the audience, although it was a competitor, but the shock brought by Neon to the domestic science and technology community by selling Toshiba Storage was too great, and even Chinese scientists felt sorry for Neon.

The Chinese science and technology community unanimously believes that the neon people are absolutely crazy, and my country can't buy memory chips, so they still sell them?

As a result, Foxconn took the lead, and Huaxia also set up a consortium to directly open twice the price to compete with Bain Capital.

The result, of course, is obvious, the neon people would rather sell Toshiba storage to Wall Street than to Huaxia.

To this day, this matter is still like a haze, shrouded in the hearts of all scientific and technological workers.

Naked discrimination and technological blockade, high-tech only has the road of independent research and development, and you can't buy it.

Luo Jia opened the mineral water bottle on the table, took two sips, and then continued, "I didn't figure it out at the time, it's so good, why did Neon sell Toshiba Storage to Wall Street?" But later, when I looked up more information, the truth gradually emerged. ”
