Chapter 518 Tell her what I want [Third update, first update]
Early in the morning, Gao Jin and Jane left the Imperial Capital by plane and flew directly to Rizao Market. They rested at Rizao Market's home for a day before starting work.
After changing clothes and making tea, Jane came over with a lot of documents in her arms. Gao Jin looked at the documents in front of him with a helpless expression, picked up one and started to review it.
After reviewing it, sign it and put it aside, and start looking at the next document.
Time passed little by little, and more than an hour passed in the blink of an eye. Gao Jin looked at the documents in his hand, picked up the phone and made a call.
Soon, the call came through and the voice of "Chairman" Zhu Changbao came over.
"Why is the chip factory in Jinwei City expanding?" Gao Jin asked.
"Chairman, I reported this to the chairman at the beginning of the year. We have achieved a breakthrough in ten-nanometer technology."
"At that time, the chairman told us not to write down the reasons and directly submit the production expansion report. Our team optimized the entire production process again before submitting the report to the chairman."
Zhu Changbao explained, and Gao Jin began to think about this matter. Xingling directly called up an image and appeared in Gao Jin's mind. It was really his order.
"You resubmit the report"
"What is the difference between doubling production capacity and not expanding production? Submit a plan in accordance with the requirements for increasing production capacity by five times."
Gao Jin said, how could he be wrong as the chairman? The mistake was that the report you submitted was not good and this report must be sent back.
Another one is that the global demand for chips is on the rise. On one side is the EUV Alliance and on the other side is the Protoss Group. In the future, the global market will be the battlefield between the two.
Both parties have their own advantages. Generally speaking, the cost advantage of Xingling Group is very obvious.
The price of chips with the same specifications is only half of that of the EUV Alliance, but the quality is not as good as that of the EUV Alliance. This makes the EUV Alliance very uncomfortable.
Forty nanometers, thirty nanometers, and twenty nanometers. These three levels of chips are mainly industrial chips and automotive chips. The chips of Xingling Group dominate.
Ten nanometers and below are mainly used in small and precise electronic products such as computers and mobile phones, and the EUV alliance occupies an absolute dominance.
Now that Xingling Group has begun to enter ten nanometers, the competition for the global market will definitely become fierce.
In the past two days, Zhu Changbao has submitted a new plan to expand production capacity five times and triple the factory area in one go.
The purchase of land, construction, equipment purchase, etc. will cost 1.6 billion euros.
After Gao Jin read it, he signed it directly and gave it to Jane to send to the financial department.
In the afternoon, Zhou Ziru made a phone call to Gao Jin. After receiving an accurate reply from Gao Jin, he immediately started arranging the allocation of funds.
Guan Hongsheng also received a call from Zhu Changbao in the afternoon. The land purchase negotiations in Jinwei City still require lawyer Guan to intervene. It is best to acquire several pieces of land around the chip factory.
Those factories are half-dead anyway, so occupying such a good location is a complete waste.
The two communicated for a while, and Guan Hongsheng booked a flight to Jinwei City tomorrow morning. When he was about to get off work, he went to Gao Jin's office to report the matter to Gao Jin.
"Go ahead, Jinwei City will definitely support us, but we have to be more generous in doing things."
“A small project can be appropriately sponsored”
Gao Jin said this with a smile, Guan Hongsheng nodded and noted this down, chatted with Gao Jin for a while and then left.
In the evening, Gao Jin had a phone call with Meng Guangxian and told them about the expansion of production.
"Brother, how on earth are you doing this? The research institutes directly under the department have not made breakthroughs for decades, but you have made breakthroughs one after another."
"My eldest brother works in a certain research institute. I heard from him that life is very difficult now."
Meng Guangxian said this with a smile, and Gao Jin also laughed after hearing it.
"Brother Meng, I don't understand chip technology at all. I went to inspect the project team established by Zhu Changbao twice, and I just took a quick look at it."
"They did everything themselves. I am only responsible for providing sufficient scientific research funds."
"However, I know one reason, environmental issues"
"The project team at the headquarters of Xingling Group conducts research. The environment is very good. There is no need for any intrigues. It would not be possible to move to another place."
"Intrigue and intrigue will involve most of the energy of those researchers."
Gao Jin smiled and said these words. These words were not invented by Gao Jin, but were said by Zhu Changbao and others. They were the true feelings of those researchers.
Many people have worked in directly affiliated research institutes, private research institutes, and corporate research institutes. In their own words, doing research at the Protoss Group is the easiest and there is not so much pressure on them.
Moreover, there are not so many dirty things involving intrigues, so you can devote 100% of your energy to research and development.
After hearing what Gao Jin said, Meng Guangxian immediately understood what was going on, but there was no way to talk about it. Even if Meng Guangxian did, it would not have any effect.
Unless reforms are implemented vigorously and resolutely, there will not be much effect.
I know very well that this is the pain point of lay leaders and experts, and it will be difficult to change in the short term.
The two chatted for a while and then ended the call. Meng Guangxian told Gao Jin not to worry, as Jinwei City fully supports the chip factory's expansion of production capacity.
This is the only purely domestic chip manufacturer in the country. It has attracted many companies to settle in Jinwei City. They are all chip-related supporting companies, which is very critical to promoting the technological upgrading of the entire industry chain.
Now that we need to expand production and upgrade to the ten-nanometer stage, some of the chips used in aircraft do not need to be imported. Wei Mingyang and Meng Guangxian definitely support it 100%.
When using foreign chips, sometimes you have to use them even if you know there are backdoors, because you have no choice.
As time went by slowly for a week, the five factories surrounding the chip factory in Jinwei City all began to relocate, and a place was designated for them in the suburbs for them to move there.
In terms of compensation, the city will provide part of the chip factory and the chip factory will provide part. Once the money is in place, everything will be easy to deal with.
Gao Jin did not care about these trivial matters and turned his attention back to Rizao City Starlight University. At present, students have begun to arrive at the school one after another.
The opening ceremony will be held in a few days.
The Internet has been very lively these days, and many students arriving at the school have begun to show off the bedding and daily necessities distributed by the school, all of which are big brands.
A thoughtful person calculated it and found that the total value of these items was more than 700 yuan, but students at Starlight University did not need to spend a penny.
This has made many students in private schools dissatisfied.
They are also private universities. If you look at Starlight University, they don’t charge a penny.
If you look at your own school, you still have to go to the school's designated location to buy. Spending the price of a first-class brand on a second-rate, inferior product has caused quite a stir.
Two days later, the school management began to clean up the school with all the students. It took almost two days of work to complete the project.
Next, the opening ceremony began, and four Nobel Prize winners also appeared. Kane, Kang Qianli, Guo Maoshan, and Kong Pinghua. The appearance of these four great men in the scientific community aroused warm applause.
All four people gave speeches to encourage the students to climb the peak of regret. Principal Chen Shude also gave a speech. After a busy morning, the opening ceremony ended.
Starlight University is a pilot university, and the relevant departments have specially approved the reduction of military training time. According to the plan, two weeks of military training will be conducted after the opening ceremony, and classes will begin after the military training is over.
Gao Jin was looking through documents in the office. Jane walked in. Looking at Gao Jin, he said, "Boss, Sonia sent a report. The countries to which the three islands belong have given the latest preferential policies. The intensity is beyond your imagination.
”.
Sonia has been to the South Pacific for a long time to choose islands. She rented a yacht and personally visited dozens of islands, and finally selected three.
One belongs to New Zealand, one belongs to France, and one belongs to Tonga. I didn’t expect France to have so many islands in the South Pacific.
After Sonia arranged for people to survey the three islands, she was inclined to purchase the small island belonging to France, Kudoma Island.
The entire island covers an area of approximately 170 square kilometers. Although the island has no fresh water resources, this is not a problem for the Xingling Group.
More importantly, Kudoma Island is the tallest of the three islands, more than two meters above sea level, while the other two islands are only more than one meter higher.
The largest island is Pattis Island, which belongs to New Zealand, covering an area of more than 200 square kilometers and only one meter and three meters above sea level.
As for the small island in Tonga, Sonia gave it up directly because it was a coral reef island, not an island made of limestone.
Coral reef islands are very fragile and cannot be built on a large scale. Only low-rise buildings can be built.
Sonia contacted the relevant departments of three countries to discuss the purchase of the island. They were all very enthusiastic, especially Tonga, who was extremely enthusiastic.
It's a pity that Sonia doesn't like their island.
New Zealand and France both offered a preferential package, which was not very strong. Sonia terminated the negotiations and began to go to the northern region to check out the island.
Seeing that Sonia had gone elsewhere to check out the island, the relevant departments in New Zealand and France became a little anxious and began to discuss it with domestic bosses.
These small islands cannot create any economic benefits if they are left there all year round. After selling them, not only can they collect funds, but they can also collect taxes every year.
Regarding whether the Xingling Group wants to purchase small islands to build equipment, these departments are well aware of it. After all, there are many such things. Many international giants have purchased several small islands and established research institutes.
There are even many international giants that have directly built ships of more than 200,000 tons to carry out project research and development on the high seas.
After some discussion, a new preferential policy was introduced, and a special person was sent to contact Sonia. This time Jane submitted a new plan.
Gao Jin took the documents, looked at them, and compared them. He found that the conditions offered by New Zealand were more favorable.
Especially the irregular dispatch of inspectors made Gao Jin very satisfied.
New Zealand's only requirement is that it must not pollute the sea area around the island. As long as this is achieved, it doesn't matter what you do on the island.
And give the island owner the right of self-defense. After all, robberies happen every year in this area. Without the right of self-defense, the rich will not buy the island. They are afraid.
After thinking for a while, Gao Jin made a decision, "Please inform Sonia and let her start in-depth negotiations with New Zealand. If necessary, you can contact Mr. Heideshier directly."
"Tell her a little bit and tell her what I want."
Jane nodded and turned to leave. Both Jane and Sonia knew what Gao Jin wanted. Now it depends on the outcome of the negotiation.
