Looking at the cooperation agreement stamped with the official seal in front of them, Xu Yun and Lin Feian breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
This agreement represents the official establishment of the cooperation between the two parties, especially for Xu Yun, which instantly reduces a lot of pressure on his shoulders.
Although there are still many processes to go through next, these things basically have nothing to do with Huadun Biotech.
Whether it is logistics, distribution or insurance, all will be handled by Zhengda Tianqing. Huadun Biotech has only three things left to do now:
The first is to go all out to produce products and prepare sufficient supply for shipment.
The second is to wait for the EU's GMP and GDP reviews. There should be specific notifications in this regard. After Bayer guarantees that it will not be mixed with political means, there should be no problems with these two reviews.
After all, the production workshop of Aphrodisiac was previously the factory of Voltaren. If Novartis had not moved out of Luzhou, it would have been almost impossible for Huadun Biotech to obtain a factory of this level.
Compared with a beetle killer, the production requirements of Voltaren are much higher.
In addition to the above two points, what the company needs to consider is the time to market-this is actually nothing to discuss.
Europe and China are both in the northern hemisphere, and they have the same seasons. At most, there are differences in climate. In this case, of course, we would choose to export to Europe in the summer... which is the time when Xiaoqiang is most active.
It is now the end of March. The traditional China-Europe shipping route takes about 28-35 days to operate. The specific time varies from place to place. In some places, it is possible to exceed 40 days.
Therefore, if the situation is ideal, it is best for Huadun Biotech to complete the review and supply of goods in early June, so that the goods can be distributed in early July. After a period of word-of-mouth fermentation, it will be around early August.
Can wait for a small climax of product sales.
If some accidents occur during this period and the efficiency is slowed down, the theoretical time limit cannot exceed early July.
Otherwise, although the product will not be unsaleable, the profit will definitely be far lower than before.
For today's Huadun Biotech, every extra euro or dollar earned can make one's original accumulation take a big step forward.
"That's okay, Dr. Xu."
Then Lin Feian carefully put away the contract and said to Xu Yun:
"I hope we can keep in touch for a long time in the future. If there are any situations or problems, we can synchronize them in time. I won't disturb you anymore."
Xu Yun also nodded towards Lin Feian and made a gesture of invitation:
"I'll give it to you."
After becoming the chairman of Huadun Biotech, Xu Yun's emotional intelligence in dealing with others has been improved to some extent. His behavior is not to say that he is a domineering president, but at least he doesn't need others to give hints on what to do when doing things.
Then Xu Yun sent Lin Feian out of the conference room, and the two parties said goodbye at the door.
Xu Yun then returned to the front of the conference table, took a deep breath, and said to everyone:
"Dear directors, everyone has just read this contract in my hand. It also represents our company's first step in the overseas market."
"In the future, in addition to Chinese coins, we can also make money from foreigners, which is gratifying!"
Xu Yun just finished speaking.
Everyone burst into applause at the end. He was polite and reserved but without losing enthusiasm. It was a very standard business scene.
The applause lasted for less than ten seconds and then quickly disappeared. Xu Yun put down the contract and continued:
"However, this contract does not mean that everything is settled. We still have some links to deal with next."
"For example, Factory Director Qian, your production workshop has a very heavy task."
"Next, the factory area must further increase the production of 'One Mantis Killer'. We must not only supply foreign products but not domestic products. After all, domestic products are our root."
"If you have any production requirements, you can make a list later and we can talk about it alone."
As soon as Xu Yun finished speaking, a middle-aged cadre sitting next to him sat up straight:
"clear."
This person is Qian Guanglin, the person in charge of a beetle-killing factory. He was originally the production director of an integrated circuit company under the HKUST New Venture Fund. At most, he had managed more than 2,000 people.
Later, due to the restructuring of the enterprise, he was transferred to another assembly factory and worked for several years, gaining extremely rich production experience.
When Huadun Biotech was established, Zheng Zu elected him as the director of the production plant. He has performed very reliably in the past several ramp-up production incidents. Now he has been awarded the title after the board of directors decided
With a certain amount of employee option shares, you can probably get a year-end bonus of 700,000 to 800,000 yuan at the end of the year, which can barely make you a marginal high-level executive in the company.
Xu Yun then nodded towards Qian Guanglin, and then looked at Lu Xiao sitting on the other side:
"Dr. Lu, next we should discuss the placement of MR."
After hearing Xu Yun's words, the expressions of everyone in the audience suddenly became extremely serious.
Regardless of the company's current performance or its composition, Huadun Biotech is destined not to be a simple insecticide company. Its ultimate goal must be to become a high-tech technology enterprise.... To be precise, it is
Tech giants.
If you want to become a technology giant, you must have one or more top technologies, and you also need to set up a tall "personality" to let others know that you are a technology company.
Otherwise, once the inherent impression is formed, it will be very troublesome to reverse it.
Just like Chery in China, many people will think of Chery QQ when talking about this company, but it is actually very good at tractors, harvesters and construction machinery, and even builds aircraft engines...
The current MR modeling "Yongle Dian" project is obviously an excellent opportunity to establish an image.
Therefore, even though the business had nothing to do with him, senior executives such as Zheng Zu and Gu Qunqing still suggested that Xu Yun put this matter on the board of directors for discussion.
"..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Looking at the gazes focused on him, Lu Xiao gently pushed up his glasses and stood up from his seat:
"Dr. Xu, fellow directors, everyone should already know about the hardware for this MR modeling...or the resources, such as supercomputing and open source databases."
"So what I want to discuss today is mainly about human resources, venue, and scale planning."
Say it.
Lu Xiao picked up a few pieces of paper from the table and showed Xu Yun the contents:
"The official data introduction of "Yongle Dadian" is that there are 11,095 volumes with a total number of 370 million words, which means each volume is about 33,000 words."
"At the same time, according to the existing data on the replica version of "Yongle Dadian", the text in the book is in Taige style official script. Before I came here, I simulated modeling and scanning using Taige style of the same size."
"According to extreme estimates, scanning a volume of "Yongle Dian" requires a 16-core neural network engine to operate 25.4 trillion times. At the same time, the equipment requires 7 cameras, a LiDAR, and 2 structured light depth sensors to assist."
"The manufacturing process of R1 requires 14nm, and the TTL is around 35mm..."
Looking at Lu Xiao who was talking eloquently, Xu Yun roughly understood what he meant.
The Academy of Sciences had only provided production resources before, but what Lu Xiao mentioned at this time was what kind of equipment they would use these production resources to complete the scanning of "Yongle Dadian".
This is just like the ancient emperor gave you money and food. As a commander, you also need to train sergeants who meet the requirements. If it is a special unit such as heavy cavalry, you also have to produce suitable armor and weapons.
After Lu Xiao finished his introduction, Gu Qunqing, who had been silent for a long time, spoke:
"Dr. Lu, if it's what you want...how much money do we need to invest in the production of scanning equipment? How long will it take to get the finished product out?"
"The production process should be very fast, probably within half a month."
Lu Xiao first answered Gu Qunqing's last question, then touched his chin:
"But the specific cost is more troublesome.... This kind of equipment, including the development of algorithms, requires at least..."
I saw a little hesitation on Lu Xiao's face, and finally gritted his teeth and reported a number:
"12 million. In addition... this set of equipment does not have commercial properties. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a one-time product."
When Xu Yun heard this, he subconsciously looked at Gu Qunqing.
Lu Xiao's words may sound a bit complicated, but the actual meaning is still very obvious:
This set of 12 million MR equipment was independently developed specifically for "Yongle Dadian". There are many algorithms, codes and structures that cannot be used in subsequent products. In the future, if Huadun Biotech wants to launch MR equipment suitable for the public, it will also
Additional investment in research and development is required.
In other words, 12 million was invested in the scanning and modeling of "Yongle Dadian" alone.
This is actually not difficult to understand. After all, both the book list and the scene (National Museum) of "Yongle Dadian" are fixed this time, and the equipment for the public needs to be modeled in real time, and the scenes are even more bizarre and difficult.
It's a world of difference.
In the whole process, at most some of the open source technologies from the Academy of Science and Technology can be continuously applied, and there is basically no possibility of reuse of Huadun Biotech's investment.
Investing 12 million in half a month is indeed a blood-selling expenditure for a new company like Huadun Biotech.
To know.
Now Xu Yun, the chairman of the board, only has more than 100,000 in cash in his wallet. There is probably no other protagonist in science and technology literature who has less words than Xu Yun...
Not an exaggeration.
With Huadun Biotech's current cash flow scale, it is impossible to transfer this money while ensuring production, and a loan is necessary.
"...."
Then Gu Qunqing thought for a while and asked Lu Xiao:
"Dr. Lu, is there any specific item for this 12 million yuan expenditure?"
"have."
Lu Xiao nodded quickly, picked up another detailed copy of the female donkey in front of him, and explained:
"Of which 4 million is the cost of purchasing the R1 process from Cambrian. Chen Yunji from Cambrian is my junior brother... Oh, Dr. Xu also met him when I returned to China."
"This price is the lowest price he gave me. If the company is worried about this, it can also go to Ziguang, Changdian, and Huachuang to ask. I can guarantee that the price will not be lower than 6 million."
"Of the remaining 8 million, 3 million are used for Spatial putting...that is, spatial computing design, which includes grating waveguide structures, optical vector simulation and design of field tracing, etc."
"Another 4 million yuan is spent on accelerating the research and development of equipment framework. In a normal project, the cost of this part is about 30,000 yuan a day, and about 450,000 yuan in half a month. To put it bluntly, this process is to keep modeling the reality. If it is accelerated, the cost will also be linear.
Added – after all, the context we want to build is the National Museum.”
"As for the remaining 1 million...my idea is to give the R&D department a bonus after completing the task. Of course, if the company feels that this part of the expenditure is too high, it can also reduce it or remove it directly."
Xu Yun asked his assistant Tang Li to bring the catalog to him, read it, and then handed it to Gu Qunqing:
"Aaron, what do you think?"
Gu Qunqing's brows knitted together slightly at this time. He was previously engaged in pharmaceutical sales, and this was his first time exposed to today's high-cost Internet research and development projects.
12 million, to be honest, is not that small. Some pharmaceutical companies may not have such high R&D costs for a whole year.
However, Gu Qunqing is a senior management talent who has served as VP of continents. At this time, his courage and vision allowed him to make a decision:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I have no objection. If the project department reviews the amount correctly... I agree to spend this fund."
As the company's COO, Gu Qunqing has always cooperated with Xu Yun in a tacit understanding - Xu Yun is in charge of scientific research, and Gu Qunqing is in charge of the company's business operations. The original Tweeting press conference was one of Gu Qunqing's classic operations.
This is also one of the concepts that Xu Yun has always pursued, leaving professional matters to professional people.
Maybe Xu Yun will become an old mall fox with empty eyelashes in a few decades, but at least for now, compared with Gu Qunqing, there are still obvious differences in business operations and judgment between the two parties.
Therefore, after Gu Qunqing gave his opinion, Xu Yun's inner balance was almost tilted.
Then he looked at Academician Pan again, and saw his mentor also nodded slightly.
Xu Yun suddenly felt at ease.
Gu Qunqing and Academician Pan both agreed, and Xu Yun himself also tended to agree, so the current situation is very clear...
Xu Yun took a deep breath and said to Lu Xiao:
"Dr. Lu, since we have taken over this responsibility from the Academy of Sciences, we naturally have to show some of our own things and sincerity."
"So the 12 million funding thing... I agree!"
"After the meeting, I would like to trouble you to prepare a detailed budget. After the independent directors and the audit department review it, we will coordinate the loan immediately."
When Xu Yun mentioned the loan, he glanced at Zheng Zu. The God of Wealth from the new venture fund nodded knowingly.
Nowadays, Huadun Biotech is completely a high-quality customer, not to mention low-interest loans. Some banks with greater pressure on repayment business may even provide interest-free loans. After all, there are many companies running away these days...
.
Lu Xiao on the side saw this scene in his eyes, and his whole body suddenly became energetic:
"Mr. Xu, thank you for the trust of the board of directors. Please rest assured, I promise to complete the task on time!"
After saying that, Lu Xiao clenched his fists subconsciously.
This was the first tough battle he fought after joining Huadun Biotechnology. At the same time, Xu Yun also gave him clear trust and support in terms of funding, although it was not so simple as to think of dying for a confidant.
, but Lu Xiao was indeed prepared in her heart for a big fight.
all in all.
At this point, everything that should be prepared for today's pre-war meeting is almost ready.
Now that the pace has been set, all that's left is...
Work begins at full strength, pointing to the day of commencement!
.......
Note:
Thanks to longwaytogo and the naughty whip-leg boss for the reward, our leader has passed the 50th place!
I looked at the word count and found it to be 4.59 million words before I knew it. I originally planned to finish it with one million words, but I didn’t expect that it would be here now.
It's almost the end of the month. Please give me some monthly votes for this book at the end of the month for the last time. It's really the last time...
