The place of light.

The conference room was filled with smoke.

As a veteran researcher, Zheng Zhenchuan slapped the table in front of his leader for the first time. When he faced the silent leader, he blushed and shouted: "500 million! Director Wang! At least 500 million! And there is no limit on the breakthrough!"

"Old Zheng, don't be excited."

Director Wang pressed off the cigarette butt and comforted with a smile: "No matter how much money is, don't you feel it's hot if you take it?"

Zheng Zhenchuan was stunned and then sneered: "Capitalist? Okay, then let's have a good chat about capitalists today!"

"Capital comes to this world, and every pore is dripping with dirty and bloody. It is its instinct and nature to pursue interests. I'm right? That's what Lao Ma said?"

"Old Zheng, don't be excited."

Zheng Zhenchuan took a few deep breaths: "I'm not excited, I'm explaining the facts. So, how can we, Chengguang, afford to invest 500 million yuan? The capitalist really wants to make money, he doesn't know how to buy Nikon or Canon? If you want to invest, he doesn't know that he has already completed 0.5 microns when investing in ASSML!"

At this time, Deputy Director Zhou said leisurely: "Then I'm very curious, why did he invest money and what motives do he have?"

"Motivation? Haha..." Zheng Zhenchuan smiled again: "Motivation... He said that we are the people in China who are engaged in lithography machines. If we don't do it, no one in China will do it in the future. Once we don't sell it to us abroad in the future, we can only buy other people's high-priced chips."

"We still have a rope around our necks! Leaders! Don't think that you can breathe freely just by taking a breath! As scientists, it is our duty to break through the blockade and challenge the limits."

Zheng Zhenchuan poured tea and added: "By the way, this is what the capitalists said, not what I said - don't forget that his father is a popular candidate for the academic committee member this year. He himself is a genius in integrated circuits! You go to Silicon Valley to ask how powerful the magic boy is."

"If someone is less than 20 years old, he can think so far. Most of us who are buried in the soil are not as good as a young boy?"

After Zheng Zhenchuan said that, he closed his mouth tightly.

The conference room fell into silence again.

After a long time, Director Wang sighed heavily: "Old Zheng, even if we agree, the superiors may not approve it. His conditions are too harsh. If a precedent is set, wouldn't capital be able to kidnap academics at will in the future?"

Zheng Zhenchuan sighed.

In fact, he knew that these high-sounding reasons were not fundamental.

It's still...that five hundred million is too much.

My own group of people, together with the light source team of Changguang Institute, only 200 people were added. But they could "exclusively" a budget of at least 550 million. You should know that the budget of the entire Chinese Academy of Sciences last year was less than 500 million!

In fact, last year, the total investment in scientific research in the country was only 10 billion, which included the total investment of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, universities and enterprises. (Note: The proportion of R&D [the proportion of scientific research and GPD] in that year was about 0.5% to 0.6%, and now it has exceeded 2%)

How can this not make people jealous?

We are not worried about being weak but not being inequality. We have been in ancient times. Everyone is poor in making “atomic bombs”. Why do you still have money to sell tea eggs when you make “atomic bombs”?

Zheng Zhenchuan was silent for a few seconds and said softly: "Su Wang, if you really don't approve me, I'll ask Lao Zhao to take someone to resign."

"Nothing!"

"It's not a nonsense, it's a careful consideration." Zheng Zhenchuan breathed slowly, with a relaxed look on his face: "I'm almost fifty soon, and I'll get old if I don't fight for a while."

"The large population and backward situation have given everyone in the world an illusion, even ourselves, that the people are very poor. In fact, if the ship is rotten, there are three thousand nails!"

Sitting on the sofa at home, Su Yuanshan looked at his dusty uncle with a smile: "Only by entering the market in person can you know what the market is like."

Zhang Keshen nodded with consent and laughed: "That's right! But I still feel that this year's money seems to be very profitable, and everyone can take out any money in their pockets. Is it because of the spring breeze?"

Su Yuanshan smiled and said, "It is because after the spring breeze blows, the currency circulating on the market has increased this year."

Zhang Ke was stunned and asked hesitantly: "It means the country has printed money?"

Su Yuanshan nodded with a smile: "And it has been printed a lot, so my uncle, when you make a cost budget, you must consider the inflation coefficient, otherwise you will make a profit on the books and actually lose."

Zhang Kezhong focused: "I will just write it back and say, what else should I pay attention to when building a mall?"

Su Yuanshan smiled.

This year, my uncle relied on his courage and abundant cash flow, quickly centered on the provincial capital, and then used various developed cities in China as nodes to establish a chain electrical appliance mall across the country. By this month, he had surpassed Jiamei in one fell swoop.

With the popularity of "Spring Story", VCD has quickly become well-known. As a brother enterprise, the production capacity of the SAR satisfies Zhang Ke immediately.

So in just half a month, Zhang Ke sold 200,000 VCDs and ate nearly half of the production capacity of the VCD factory.

"There is nothing to pay attention to, just don't be greedy." Su Yuanshan said seriously: "We are in industry and business, so don't play with capital."

Zhang Ke nodded: "I understand this. Now we have a lot of cash flow. And standing in the air, opening a store is like planting a money tree. I really didn't dare to think about it before I put it..."

"I just have to dare to think, otherwise what is the difference between it and paramecium?" Professor Su Xinghe raised his head from the document and said with a smile.

In the past six months, Su Xinghe has a few more white hair, but his condition has become more energetic. In the words of his son, Professor Su has rejuvenated his academic spring.

Zhang Ke smiled and said, "Brother, I heard you are going to be a member of the school department this year?"

"I won't mention the matter of shadow." Su Xinghe put down the document and looked at his son: "You can sign directly from the UD, right?"

Su Yuanshan smiled and shook his head: "No, with the east wind of consensus, we can completely expand the results and fool UMC into building a wafer factory, but this requires dealing with government departments."

Su Xinghe nodded after thinking about it. He knew that his son did not like to deal with officials, and he didn't want his son to face the officialdom at such a young age: "Okay, let them send a trip and set the specifications, so I can make arrangements."

"Okay."

After dinner, the three of them inevitably talked about the lithography machine topic.

At this time, Su Xinghe and Zhang Ke were not opposed to Su Yuanshan's intention to spend 500 million to enter the lithography machine, but they were very skeptical about whether the Chinese Academy of Sciences could accept the cooperation model offered by Su Yuanshan.

Five hundred million yuan is already ten times the investment of the country.

Logically speaking, it is absolutely undesirable for projects that burn money like lithography machines to get such support from the public.

But when faced with so much money, it will inspire human greed.

Su Xinghe looked at his son and frowned: "In the eyes of some people, these 500 million are just a piece of fat."

"Then some people are thinking too much. If they really want to force that, I will sign a lifelong contract for the relevant personnel, provide housing benefits and retirement system. I still don't believe it anymore. I have planted a sycamore tree here, but I can't attract golden phoenixes."

Su Yuanshan was not panicked at all.

Su Xinghe smiled and shook his head: "Thinking is too simple, money is not omnipotent."

Su Yuanshan smiled and said, "It's time to cooperate, you have to force me. Otherwise, how can you always treat us rich people as fat sheep?"
