"To be honest, I also considered this matter, but finally gave up after investigating."
"There are a lot of issues involved here. This is the source of wealth for many people. If I intervene, I will cut off their wealth."
"Destroying someone's wealth is like killing their parents. I can't do this kind of thing"
"Once again, these people are inextricably linked to you and the education circle. I don't want to make myself unhappy!"
Gao Jin told the truth, it was really hard for Zhang Hongbin to refute these words. The original deduction did not take this issue into consideration, and Zhang Hongbin didn't know how to persuade him for a while.
"This is a rare opportunity. The higher-ups will position you as an experimental university and give you all the rights. No one will restrict your management."
"It's such a pity that you missed this opportunity."
Zhang Hongbin said this with great regret. For this matter, he and Qiao Mingxian went to the province and to the departments directly under the imperial capital. It really took a lot of effort.
I thought of everything, but I didn't expect Gao Jin to refuse so firmly.
"Brother Zhang, I can help with other things. Don't talk about the acquisition of the school. I will not interfere under any circumstances."
"Besides, I've just come to see the beginning of the company's reform. This time, it's not just our Xingling Group headquarters that is laying off employees, but all branches and research institutes are also laying off employees, and they are all optimizing and combining projects."
"I have too many things on my hands, and I really can't be distracted from this."
Gao Jin watched Zhang Hongbin say these words, and his attitude of refusing the acquisition was very obvious. Zhang Hongbin could only give up the matter of persuasion temporarily.
"Your branch and research institute are going to lay off people." Zhang Hongbin changed the topic, and he could already hear the problem from Gao Jin's words.
"Yes"
"This time the layoffs are mainly aimed at researchers. Many people are tired and lazy and start to dawdle."
"If we want to maintain the continuity and normal progress of research, these people must be laid off to prevent them from bringing down the overall atmosphere."
"Only in this way can my institute maintain the consistency and focus of continuous breakthroughs."
“To engage in research, you must be dedicated”
"We must abandon laziness and intrigue"
Gao Jin said these words easily, and Zhang Hongbin nodded, knowing in his heart that this is the reason why the research institutes affiliated to the Xingling Group have made breakthroughs, but those that received subsidies have not.
The Protoss Group's research institute will fire you if you don't concentrate on research, and won't play any other tricks with you at all.
Those directly affiliated research institutes put all their energy into intrigues in order to make more money. They could make a breakthrough this year, but I chose not to make a breakthrough, just to get more subsidies.
When did the bosses get impatient and start checking, I made a breakthrough, and after dealing with it, I continued to move forward slowly to make money as always.
This is not a problem for one country in China, but a global problem, and developed countries such as Europe and the United States are no exception.
Therefore, many technological upgrades are the result of breakthroughs made by research institutes affiliated to international giants and controlled research institutes. The two parties have different purposes and work efficiencies.
"Have you had any breakthrough projects?" Zhang Hongbin asked suddenly. Gao Jin was stunned, then shook his head.
"Don't be careless about me. You know me and I know you. Tell me and I'll keep it a secret for you." Zhang Hongbin said with a smile. Every time Gao Jin told lies, he would be in a daze for a moment.
It's very short and passes in a blink of an eye. This is a little secret that Zhang Hongbin has mastered.
"I'm really impressed by you."
"If I wanted you to be so smart, I would just close the company and become a playboy to avoid being plotted against," Gao Jin said unhappily. No one would be happy if someone could see through his heart.
Zhang Hongbin smiled, picked up the tea cup and tasted it slowly, waiting for Gao Jin to tell.
"It's not a big deal. You will all know in a few days."
"The chip company in Jinwei City has begun to purchase new equipment. Once the equipment is in place, it can produce 30-nanometer chips."
"At the same time, high-purity silicon rods and silicon wafers no longer need to be imported. The Institute of Advanced Materials has made a breakthrough."
"Factories affiliated to Shengguang Solar Energy Company have also begun purchasing equipment. Once the equipment is in place, they will begin debugging and production. Currently, all domestically imported silicon wafers of various specifications can be produced."
Gao Jin said these words slowly, Zhang Hongbin was stunned, and then looked at Gao Jin with extremely jealous eyes.
Isn't this a big deal?
This is breaking news, okay?
Although the difference between 40 nanometers and 30 nanometers is only ten nanometers, this ten nanometer gap represents the dividing line between low-end manufacturing and mid-range manufacturing, which are two completely different levels.
Zhang Hongbin now has a special understanding of domestic and foreign cutting-edge technologies, as well as technologies currently related to Xingling Group.
It's clear what this breakthrough represents.
This means that domestic companies in China can independently produce mid-range chips without being choked by any company, allowing China to get rid of the situation of only producing low-end chips.
Now Xingling Group can produce mid-range chips. In a few years, it will become a reality for Chinese companies to independently produce high-end chips.
This is not a laboratory breakthrough. It was previously announced that a certain research institute in China had made a breakthrough. A research institute directly under such and such had broken the monopoly of an international company on a certain product.
These are all laboratory results and do not mean that you can mass-produce them. Mass production is completely different.
The Xingling Group doesn't provide you with any laboratory results, and goes straight to mass production as soon as it comes up. This is one of the reasons why many companies are afraid of the Xingling Group.
The destructive power is too great.
Zhang Hongbin raised his hand and gave Gao Jin a thumbs up. He admired Gao Jin. He truly admired Gao Jin. Gao Jin had accomplished what so many companies had failed to accomplish.
For this reason alone, the bosses above are absolutely right to treat the Protoss Group in a different light, and it is worth it.
"Don't play tricks, I have no money, can you support me?" Gao Jin looked at Zhang Hongbin and said this directly. A thumbs up is not beneficial, and some preferential policies are beneficial.
With a "pop" sound, Zhang Hongbin turned his head and squirted out the tea in his mouth.
"You still have the nerve to ask for money. Do you know what kind of treatment your Xingling Group is currently receiving? Just for the morning market, they exempted you from 10% corporate income tax."
“None of the state-owned enterprises have this kind of treatment.”
Zhang Hongbin said this unhappily. The tax amount of Xingling Group is not high. That is because many taxes and fees have been reduced or exempted in order to allow Xingling Group to invest funds in high-tech technology research and development.
This policy was universal at first, but in recent years the country has begun to tighten it, and every year a group of companies are kicked out of the list of companies enjoying the tax exemption policy.
These companies that were kicked out were engaged in high-tech R&D in name only, but in fact they were purely doing so to obtain preferential policies, and the profits saved went into their personal pockets.
More than 100 companies were kicked off the big list the year before last, and more than 200 companies were kicked off the big list last year. The funds saved are subsidized to those companies that really lack R&D funds.
The country is also making adjustments step by step to eliminate waste of resources.
"Our Protoss Spirit Group spends too much money. To tell you the truth, half way through this year, our Protoss Spirit Group's research and development expenses have exceeded 7 billion euros."
"It is expected that R&D expenditures this year will exceed 14 billion euros, which is more than 3 billion euros more than last year's R&D expenditures."
Gao Jin said this with a look of helplessness. Even though the Xingling Group made a lot of money very quickly, the expenses were not small at all.
It was precisely because of knowing the expenses of the Protoss Spirit Group that China and other countries did not classify the Prostoles Group into the industry of huge profit companies. Otherwise, countries would not be lenient at all in taxing high profit industries.
"There are so many." Zhang Hongbin was very surprised.
Gao Jin nodded seriously. This is really no joke. Research and development requires a lot of money. These expenses are the company's net profits. This is also the reason why most domestic companies do not do high research.
The cost is too high and I cannot afford it.
Zhang Hongbin didn't know that Gao Jin's acquisition of the research institute and the purchase of new generation R&D equipment were included in it, otherwise it wouldn't have cost so much.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Hongbin realized that the atmosphere was not right and immediately stood up and left.
I was worried that if the conversation continued, I would be fooled into agreeing to some preferential conditions with Gao Jin. Gao Jin was reluctant to let Zhang Hongbin go. We were about to get to the point. How could you do this if you wanted to run away?
The more Gao Jin tried to stop him, the more Zhang Hongbin realized that his hunch was correct. He said he would never stay again and left the Xingling Group.
Downstairs, Gao Jin looked at the back of Zhang Hongbin's vehicle with a regretful expression.
What a good opportunity, he was wasted like this. Next time, he must severely cut off a piece of Zhang Hongbin's flesh.
In the car, Zhang Hongbin sneezed and rubbed his nose. It must be Gao Jin, the bastard, who was talking bad about him. He looked for an opportunity to settle the score with Gao Jin.
One day passed, and Gao Jin went to work as usual the next day, focusing on the acquisition of the company's research institute and keeping abreast of the current situation.
A few days have passed, and according to intelligence, although the Xingling Group has laid off many people, it is actually recruiting people. There are new employees in various research institutes and headquarters.
Although there are not as many employees leaving the company for the time being, recruitment is still continuing. This is part of the normal metabolism of the company, and bosses and relevant departments in many places feel relieved.
A few days later, something that made the relevant departments feel more at ease came. Personnel from Singapore, Country H, and RB Research Institute acquired by Xingling Group began to work in China.
The first batch of purchased experimental equipment has also arrived and has begun to be installed in the research institute. This means that the Ming Ling Group is increasing its investment in scientific research.
According to news from abroad, several research institutes in Europe affiliated with the Xingling Group have also launched external acquisitions, acquiring some research institutes and laboratories to increase their own strength.
A rough calculation shows that Xingling Group has spent more than three billion euros during this period, part of which is acquisition costs and part of which is the cost of purchasing new generation R&D equipment.
The funds allocated are not only for Chinese research institutes, but also for European research institutes and the American research institute, which have also received new financial support.
